+One day, she was walking along a path full of flowers, and she noticed something special. She saw birds scattering in the sky and heard a whistle in the air. She wondered what it could be.
+
+The little girl looked all around, but she couldn't find the source of the whistle. Suddenly, a small, pink bird flew down and landed on the grass. The little girl had never seen a bird this color before. It cooed softly and dropped something.
+
+The girl picked up the object. It was a tasty candy! The bird had found it somewhere, and had decided to share it with the little girl.
+
+The little girl thanked the pink bird and said, “I love your whistle!†The bird was so excited by the little girl's words that it began to whistle again. The happy little girl joined in, and they whistled together until the bird had to fly away.
+Once there was a mom who wanted her daughter to wake up early. She gave her the pill, which looked a bit like candy, and said “This will help you to wake up in the morningâ€. 
+
+The daughter was excited and said “Yes, mom! I will take the pill!â€. The mom told her that if she took it, she would be ready for the day.

+The moral of the story is that being prepared is important and will make your mom happy!

+
+Suddenly, a cat appeared in the field. The cat ran towards the tree, and then started to climb up the trunk. The bird was scared, and flew away.
+
+The cat kept climbing higher up the tree. It was getting closer and closer to the top. The bird tried to sing, but the cat was getting closer and closer. 
+
+Just before the cat reached the top, the tree started to shake. The cat got scared and ran down the tree. But it was too late. The tree was so big and it was shaking too much. Suddenly, the tree fell down and crashed on the ground.
+
+The bird was never seen again. The cat was sad and ran away. From that moment, no one ever sang in the big open field.

Every day, Rosy and her grandmother, Granny, would take a walk in the woods near their home. While in the woods, Granny would always talk about her own childhood and the times she used to play in the same woods.
+
+One day, Rosy asked Granny why she stopped playing in the woods. Granny had a sad look in her eyes, then she said to Rosy: "I remember my youth, I would pick up the delicious yummy fruits in these woods and eat them all day. But, as I grew older, I had to focus on more important things and slowly started to forget how much I loved playing here."
+
+Rosy, with a determined look in her eyes, told Granny: "Let's go and play together now! We shouldn't forget about the good old days, it brings us so much joy and happiness."
+
+Granny smiled, feeling so proud and lucky to have such a smart and sweet granddaughter. So, they went to the woods, laughed, and picked yummy fruits all day.

+Henry was walking with his dad in the park. It was a very special day for Henry. He noticed a bird in a nearby tree. He pointed at it and said 'Look Dad, a bird' His dad smiled and told him the bird was called a robin. Henry wanted to get closer so he could see it better. He ran to the tree but the robin flew away.

+Amira was three years old, and loved learning. One day, she picked up a book off of the floor and sat on her daddy's lap. She opened it to the first page and smiled. On the page, a dog was smiling back at her.

+Once upon a time, there were two friends, Madeleine and Charlie. Charlie had an old vehicle, which he loved very much. One day, Madeleine asked Charlie if she could borrow his car, but Charlie said no.

+
+One day, his friend Tom said, "George, come and have a look at this perfect golden coin I found". George looked closely at the coin and said, "It's so shiny!".
+
+Tom replied, "I'm sure it has a great story behind it. Let's try to examine it today".
+
+So, George and Tom started to examine the coin carefully and discovered that the coin was actually made of food. They realised it was not a real golden coin.
+
+George and Tom thought about this for a moment and then George said, "Tom, we should not try to show off. It's better to find joy in the simple things, like swimming in the pond near our house."
+
+Tom felt a bit embarrassed but also a bit happy. He agreed with George, and said, "Swimming in the pond is more fun than showing off with a coin".
+
+And that’s the moral of the story: Perfect things aren't always better, so we should find pleasure in the simple things that life offers us!

+
+She slowly reached out to touch it, when it flew away. She was very anxious and sad.
+
+“Don’t worry honey,†her mom said. “You can’t keep everything in nature. Being around it and enjoying its beauty is enough. Let it go, so it can enjoy its freedom too.†

+
+But Alex kept singing, so Bella decided to punish him. She said, "You will have to go without your music for one day."

+"What can we do?"

+
+So their friends the birds, squirrels and bees helped them by bringing small stones from near and far. It took a long time but the rabbit and mouse kept on working, until they had made the pile of stones strong enough.
+
+Then when the wall seemed too high, even for the pile of stones, the rabbit and mouse asked their friends for help. The birds flew around asking for more stones, and everyone worked together to make the pile of stones even bigger.

+
+Timmy and his mom were okay, but their house was destroyed. They had to find a new place to live. Timmy was sad because he couldn't eat beef anymore. "I miss our old house and my favorite food," he said. "Me too," said his mom. The end.

+
+"Tim, I don't like this hole," Sue said. "It's too mysterious and scary. Let's go back to the park. Please, Tim, let's quit."
+
+"No, Sue, we can't quit," Tim said. "We have to keep going. Maybe the noises are just animals. Maybe the wet and slimy things are just plants. Maybe the smell is just dirt. Come on, Sue, don't be a baby."
+
+Tim pulled Sue deeper into the hole. Sue tried to resist, but Tim was stronger. He dragged her along, ignoring her cries. He wanted to see what was in the hole. He was curious and stubborn.

+Mommy laughs and hugs them. She says, "I was just joking, my sweeties. I would never open your box without you. I am so proud of you for being patient and respectful. Grandma and Grandpa will be here soon, and then you can open your box together. I am sure you will love what is inside."
+
+Lila and Tom smile and hug Mommy back. They say, "Thank you, Mommy. We love you. And we love Grandma and Grandpa. And we love our box. We cannot wait to see what is inside."

+Lily did not like soup. She thought soup was disgusting. It was wet and hot and had bits of things she did not know. She wanted to eat bread and cheese and grapes.
+
+But her mom said she had to eat soup for lunch. She said soup was good for her and would make her strong and healthy. She said Lily had to dress nicely because they were going to visit grandma after lunch.
+
+Lily did not want to dress nicely. She wanted to wear her pink dress with the flowers and the sparkles. But her mom said that dress was too dirty and too fancy. She gave Lily a green dress with buttons and a collar. Lily thought the green dress was ugly and boring.
+
+Lily put on the green dress, but she was not happy. She made a face and said, "I don't like this dress. I don't like soup. I don't want to go to grandma's."
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, you have to be polite and grateful. The dress is clean and pretty. The soup is tasty and warm. Grandma is kind and loves you. You should try to enjoy what you have and not complain so much."
+
+Lily did not say anything. She sat down at the table and looked at the bowl of soup. She smelled it and wrinkled her nose. She took a small sip and spat it out. She said, "Yuck! This soup is disgusting. I can't eat it."
+
+Her mom was angry and said, "Lily, that's enough. You have to eat your soup or you will get no dessert. And you have to apologize for being rude. Or you will get no hug from grandma."
+
+Lily did not want to eat the soup. She did not want to apologize. She did not want to hug grandma. She wanted to cry and run away. But she knew her mom was serious and would not change her mind. She knew she had to do what her mom said or she would get in trouble.
+
+So Lily ate the soup. She ate it very slowly and made a face every time. She said, "Sorry, mom. I don't like soup, but I will eat it." She ate the soup until the bowl was empty. She felt sick and sad.
+
+Then she got up and said, "Can I have dessert now? And can I change my dress?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can have dessert. You can have a cookie and a glass of milk. And you can change your dress. You can wear your pink dress with the flowers and the sparkles. You did a good job, Lily. I'm proud of you."
+
+Lily felt a little better. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love grandma. Can we go see her now?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Yes, we can go see her now. She will be happy to see you. And she will love your dress. And maybe she will have some more soup for you."
+
+Lily laughed and said, "No, thank you. I had enough soup for today. Maybe tomorrow."

+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They understood. They said sorry again and helped the farmer pick up the wheat. The farmer thanked them and gave them a slice of bread and a glass of milk. He told them they could play on the farm, but not with the wheat. He showed them other things they could play with, like hay and corn and apples. Lily and Tom thanked him and smiled. They learned a lesson and made a new friend.
+Lily and Ben are restless. They want to play outside, but it is raining. They look at the window and see the gray sky and the wet grass.
+
+"Can we watch a video?" Ben asks Mom.
+
+Mom shakes her head. "No, you have watched enough videos today. You need to do something else."
+
+Lily and Ben sigh. They look around the living room. They see books, toys, and puzzles, but they are bored of them.
+
+"I have an idea," Mom says. "Why don't we jog in the house?"
+
+"Jog in the house?" Lily and Ben repeat. They are curious.
+
+"Yes, jog in the house. It is fun and good for you. Follow me," Mom says. She stands up and starts to jog around the sofa.
+
+Lily and Ben giggle. They join Mom and jog around the sofa too. They jog fast and slow, forward and backward, and make funny noises. They feel happy and warm.
+
+They jog for a while, until they are tired. They stop and sit on the sofa. They drink some water and cuddle with Mom.
+
+"That was fun," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it was," Ben agrees.
+
+"See, you don't need a video to have fun. You can use your imagination and your body," Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are not restless anymore. They are ready for a nap. They close their eyes and fall asleep on the sofa. Mom smiles and kisses them. She is proud of them.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They run fast and slide and swing. They laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and big ears. The dog runs to Tom and Sam. They are scared. They think the dog is angry.
+
+But the dog is not angry. The dog is friendly. It wants to play. It wags its tail and licks their faces. Tom and Sam are surprised. They kneel and pet the dog. They are not scared anymore.
+
+The dog's owner comes to the park. He is a man with a hat and a beard. He smiles and says hello. He tells Tom and Sam that the dog's name is Rex. He says Rex likes to play jokes on people. He says Rex is a good dog.
+
+Tom and Sam laugh. They think Rex is funny. They like Rex. They say thank you to the man and goodbye to Rex. They go back to play in the park. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are young. They like to read books. They have many books in their room. They have a big bookcase to keep their books.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben want to fill their bookcase with more books. They ask their mom to take them to the library. Their mom says yes. She drives them to the library in her car.
+
+At the library, Anna and Ben see many books. They pick some books they like. They also see some books they have not read before. They want to try them. They fill their bags with books.
+
+They go to the counter to borrow the books. The librarian scans the books. She gives them a card. She says, "You can keep these books for two weeks. Then you have to bring them back."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Thank you!" They are happy. They go back to their mom. They show her their books. Their mom smiles. She says, "You have a lot of books. I hope you enjoy them."
+
+They drive back to their home. They run to their room. They empty their bags. They fill their bookcase with their new books. They have some space left. They say, "We can get more books next time!"
+
+They pick a book each. They sit on their bed. They start to read. They have fun. They love books.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to hang from the monkey bars. They pretended they were monkeys and made funny noises.
+
+One day, they saw a big red mark on the monkey bars. It looked like someone had painted it with a brush. Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to see the mark up close. They climbed on the monkey bars and tried to hang near the mark.
+
+"Who made this mark?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it was a bad person," Ben said.
+
+"Or maybe it was a clue for a treasure," Lily said.
+
+They looked at the mark more carefully. It had some letters and numbers on it. They could not read them, but they thought they were important.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Get off the monkey bars! That's my mark!"
+
+Lily and Ben turned around and saw a man with a red hat and a red coat. He looked angry and scary. He had a brush and a can of paint in his hands. He was the one who made the mark.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They let go of the monkey bars and fell to the ground. They ran away as fast as they could. They did not want to play with the monkey bars anymore. They learned that some marks are not for fun, but for trouble.
+Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they went to the park with their moms. It was cold, so they wore sweaters.
+
+"Look, I have a new sweater!" Tim said. "It is red and has a car on it. It is great!"
+
+Sam looked at Tim's sweater. He felt angry. He wanted a new sweater too. His sweater was old and blue and had a hole. It was not great.
+
+"I don't like your sweater!" Sam said. "It is ugly and silly. My sweater is better!"
+
+Tim felt sad. He liked his sweater. He did not want Sam to say mean things.
+
+"No, your sweater is not better!" Tim said. "It is old and has a hole. My sweater is great!"
+
+Sam felt more angry. He did not want Tim to say mean things. He wanted to make Tim feel bad.
+
+He ran to Tim and grabbed his sweater. He pulled hard and ripped it. He threw it on the ground.
+
+"Ha ha, now your sweater is ugly and has a hole too!" Sam said.
+
+Tim felt very sad. He looked at his sweater. It was red and had a car on it. But it was also ripped and dirty. It was not great anymore.
+
+He started to cry. He ran to his mom and hugged her.
+
+"Sam is not my friend!" Tim said. "He is mean and bad. He broke my sweater!"
+
+Sam's mom saw what Sam did. She felt angry and sorry. She went to Sam and scolded him.
+
+"Sam, what did you do?" she said. "That was very naughty and rude. You should not break Tim's sweater. You should say sorry and share."
+
+Sam felt scared. He did not want his mom to be angry. He did not want to say sorry or share. He wanted to keep his sweater.
+
+He shut his mouth and crossed his arms. He did not say anything.
+
+Sam's mom felt more angry. She took Sam's sweater and gave it to Tim.
+
+"Here, Tim, you can have Sam's sweater. He does not deserve it. He does not know how to be a good friend." she said.
+
+Tim stopped crying. He looked at Sam's sweater. It was old and blue and had a hole. It was not great. But it was warm and soft. He said thank you and put it on.
+
+Sam felt very sad. He looked at Tim's sweater. It was red and had a car on it. It was great. But it was not his anymore. He had nothing.
+
+He started to cry. He ran to his mom and hugged her.
+
+"Mom, I want my sweater back!" Sam said. "I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry!"
+
+But it was too late. His mom did not listen. She shut her ears and shook her head. She was very disappointed in Sam.
+
+She took Sam by the hand and left the park. She did not say anything.
+
+Tim and Sam were not friends anymore.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to play with dolls and books. She had a big brother, Tom, who liked to play with cars and robots. They loved each other, but sometimes they fought over their toys.
+
+One day, Sara and Tom were playing in their room when their mom came in. She had a big smile and a big box in her hands.
+
+"Guess what, kids? You have a surprise!" she said. "You have a new cousin! Your aunt Lisa had a baby boy today!"
+
+Sara and Tom were very happy and curious. They wanted to see the baby and hug him and give him a name.
+
+"What is his name, mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"His name is Leo," mom said. "He is very cute and tiny. He has brown hair and blue eyes, just like your aunt Lisa."
+
+"Can we go see him, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Not today, sweetie. He is still in the hospital with your aunt Lisa. But we can go see him tomorrow. And we can bring him a gift. Do you want to help me choose one?"
+
+Sara and Tom nodded and followed mom to the big box. Mom opened it and showed them what was inside. There were many things for the baby: clothes, blankets, toys, books, and more.
+
+"Wow, mom, you bought a lot of things!" Tom said.
+
+"Well, actually, I didn't buy them. I received them from a lawyer," mom said.
+
+"A lawyer?" Sara and Tom asked. They did not know what a lawyer was.
+
+"A lawyer is a person who helps other people with their problems. Sometimes they go to court and talk to a judge. Sometimes they write papers and sign them. Sometimes they give advice and money. Do you remember your uncle Ben? He was a lawyer. He was very smart and kind. He loved you and your aunt Lisa very much."
+
+Sara and Tom remembered their uncle Ben. He had died a few months ago in a car accident. They were very sad and missed him a lot.
+
+"Your uncle Ben had a lot of money. He wanted to share it with his family. He wrote a paper before he died and gave it to a lawyer. The paper said that he wanted to give some money to your aunt Lisa, to help her with the baby. And he wanted to give some money to you and Tom, to buy whatever you want. The lawyer came to our house today and gave me the money and the box. He said it was from your uncle Ben."
+
+Sara and Tom were very surprised and touched. They did not know that their uncle Ben had left them a gift. They felt his love and his presence.
+
+"Thank you, uncle Ben," they whispered.
+
+They hugged mom and each other. Then they looked at the box again. They wanted to choose something special for their new cousin Leo. Something that would make him happy and remind him of his uncle Ben. They decided to give him a book. A book with pictures and words. A book about cars and robots. A book that Tom had received from uncle Ben on his last birthday. A book that was not ordinary, but extraordinary. Just like uncle Ben.
+Tim was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many cars, trains, and blocks, but he had no friends to share them with. He felt lonely in his big house.
+
+One day, he saw a girl outside his window. She was wearing a red dress and had a big smile. She was holding a ball and a rope. Tim wanted to play with her, but he did not know how to say hello.
+
+He ran to his mom and asked, "Mom, can I go outside and play with the girl?"
+
+Mom looked at him and said, "Sure, Tim, but you have to be careful and polite. Do you know her name?"
+
+Tim shook his head. He did not know her name.
+
+Mom said, "Then you have to ask her. You can say, 'Hi, I'm Tim. What's your name?' And then you can ask her if she wants to play with you."
+
+Tim nodded. He was nervous, but he wanted to try. He put on his shoes and his coat and went outside.
+
+He walked to the girl and said, "Hi, I'm Tim. What's your name?"
+
+The girl looked at him and said, "Hi, Tim. I'm Lily. I just moved here with my dad. Do you live here?"
+
+Tim said, "Yes, I live in that house. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily said, "Sure, I would love to play with you. What do you like to play?"
+
+Tim said, "I like to play with cars and trains and blocks. Do you like them too?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I do. But I also like to play with this ball and this rope. Do you know how to skip?"
+
+Tim said, "No, I don't. How do you do it?"
+
+Lily said, "It's easy. You just have to swing the rope and jump over it. Here, I'll show you. You can try after me."
+
+Lily swung the rope and jumped over it. She looked happy and graceful. Tim watched her and clapped his hands.
+
+Then Lily gave him the rope and said, "Now you try. It's fun."
+
+Tim took the rope and tried to swing it and jump over it. But he was not good at it. He tripped and fell on the grass.
+
+He felt sad and embarrassed. He wanted to cry.
+
+But Lily did not laugh at him. She helped him up and said, "Don't worry, Tim. It's okay. You just have to practice. I'll help you. We can do it together."
+
+Tim smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. You are my friend."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tim. You are very brave. You are my friend too."
+
+They hugged and played some more. They had fun with the ball and the rope, and with the cars and the trains and the blocks.
+
+Tim was not lonely anymore. He had a friend. And Lily was not lonely either. She had a friend too.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with their bicycles. They ride fast and have fun. But one day, they see a big truck on the road. The truck is noisy and scary. It makes loud honks and smoke.
+
+"Move, move, move!" the truck driver shouts. He is angry. He wants to go fast, but Anna and Ben are in his way.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not know what to do. They try to move, but they are too slow. The truck is too big and too close.
+
+"Help, help, help!" Anna and Ben cry. They hope someone will hear them and help them.
+
+Then, they see a man on a motorcycle. He is wearing a helmet and a jacket. He is brave and strong. He sees Anna and Ben and the truck. He rides fast and reaches them.
+
+"Follow me, kids!" he says. He makes a sign with his hand. He shows them a safe place to go. He leads them away from the truck.
+
+Anna and Ben follow him. They are happy and relieved. They thank him for saving them.
+
+"You're welcome, kids!" he says. He smiles and waves. He rides away.
+
+Anna and Ben hug each other. They are glad they are safe. They decide to play with their bicycles somewhere else. Somewhere quiet and nice.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the shop with Mom. Mom says they can choose one toy each.
+
+Lily sees a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. She likes the doll. She picks it up and hugs it. Ben sees a dinosaur with sharp teeth and a loud roar. He likes the dinosaur. He picks it up and makes it roar.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a dinosaur!" Ben says. He runs to Lily and shows her the dinosaur. He makes it roar again.
+
+"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
+
+Lily is scared of the dinosaur. She drops the doll and cries. She hides behind Mom.
+
+"Ben, that is not nice!" Mom says. "You scare Lily with your dinosaur. Say sorry to Lily."
+
+Ben feels bad. He did not want to scare Lily. He likes Lily. He puts down the dinosaur and goes to Lily.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily," Ben says. "I did not mean to scare you. Do you want to see my dinosaur? It is not real. It is just a toy."
+
+Lily stops crying. She looks at Ben and the dinosaur. She sees that the dinosaur is not real. It is just a toy. She is not scared anymore.
+
+"It is okay, Ben," Lily says. "I forgive you. Can I see your dinosaur? It is cool."
+
+Ben smiles. He gives Lily the dinosaur. Lily makes it roar. Ben laughs. He picks up the doll. He hugs it.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a doll!" Ben says. He shows Lily the doll. He makes it talk.
+
+"Hello! Hello! Hello!"
+
+Lily and Ben play with the doll and the dinosaur. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She buys the doll and the dinosaur for them. They go home with their new toys. They say thank you to Mom. They share their toys and have fun. The end.
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going to the festival with Mom and Dad. The festival had many fun things to do. They could ride on big wheels, eat sweet treats, and see funny clowns.
+
+But when they got to the festival, they saw a big sign. The sign said: "You must weigh this much to ride the big wheel." The sign had a red line and a number. Lily and Ben looked at the sign and then at each other. They were not sure if they were big enough.
+
+They asked Mom and Dad to help them. Mom and Dad took them to a big machine. The machine had a scale and a meter. Mom and Dad said: "This machine will tell you how much you weigh. If you weigh more than the number on the sign, you can ride the big wheel. If you weigh less, you have to wait until you grow more."
+
+Lily went first. She stepped on the scale and the meter moved. The meter stopped at a number that was higher than the number on the sign. Lily smiled and said: "Yay! I can ride the big wheel!"
+
+Ben went next. He stepped on the scale and the meter moved. The meter stopped at a number that was lower than the number on the sign. Ben frowned and said: "No! I can't ride the big wheel!"
+
+Ben was very sad. He wanted to ride the big wheel with Lily. He did not want to wait until he grew more. He thought it was not fair. He said to Mom and Dad: "This is crazy! Why can't I ride the big wheel? I am not that small!"
+
+Mom and Dad hugged Ben and said: "We know you are sad, Ben. But the big wheel has a rule. The rule is there to keep you safe. You are not big enough to ride the big wheel yet. But there are many other fun things you can do at the festival. How about we go and see the funny clowns? They will make you laugh."
+
+Ben looked at Mom and Dad. He looked at Lily. He looked at the big wheel. He was still sad, but he nodded. He said: "Okay. Let's go and see the funny clowns. Maybe they will make me laugh."
+
+Mom and Dad took Lily and Ben to see the funny clowns. The clowns did many silly things. They made funny faces, they threw pies, they fell down, and they squirted water. Lily and Ben laughed and laughed. They forgot about the big wheel. They had fun at the festival.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to swim in the sea. One day, they see a big boat. They want to go on the boat. They swim to the boat. But they do not see the shark.
+
+The shark is hungry. It sees Tom and Sam. It swims fast to them. It opens its mouth. It bites Tom's leg. Tom screams. He feels pain. He suffers.
+
+Sam sees the shark. He is scared. He wants to help Tom. He grabs a stick. He hits the shark. The shark lets go of Tom. It swims away. It is angry.
+
+Tom and Sam swim to the boat. They climb on the boat. They see a man. The man is dead. He has blood on him. He has a hole in his chest. The shark bit him too.
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They cry. They want to go home. They look for a radio. They find a radio. They call for help. They wait for help. They hope the shark does not come back.
+Mia and Leo went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But their favorite was the panda. The panda was black and white, and had thick fur. It was eating bamboo and looked very happy.
+
+"Can we go closer, mom?" Mia asked. "I want to see the panda better."
+
+"Sure, honey, but we have to be quiet and gentle. Pandas are shy and need space," mom said.
+
+They walked to the fence, where there was a sign that said "Yield to the panda". Mia and Leo did not know what "yield" meant, but they guessed it was something good.
+
+"Hello, panda!" Leo said softly. "You are very cute. Do you like bamboo?"
+
+The panda looked at Leo and Mia with its big eyes. It seemed curious, but also a bit scared. It moved away from the fence and hid behind a rock.
+
+"Oh, no, did we scare the panda?" Mia asked, feeling sad.
+
+"No, sweetie, you didn't. The panda is just not used to people. It needs time to feel safe and comfortable. Yield means to let the panda have its way, and not bother it too much. If we yield to the panda, maybe it will come out again and play with us," mom explained.
+
+Mia and Leo nodded. They understood. They backed away from the fence and sat on a bench. They watched the panda quietly, and waited for it to come out. After a while, the panda peeked from behind the rock. It saw that Mia and Leo were not too close, and not too loud. It felt more relaxed. It came out of its hiding place, and walked to the fence. It reached out its paw, and touched Leo's hand. Leo smiled, and gently stroked the panda's fur. Mia joined him, and the panda let them. The panda liked Mia and Leo. They were kind and respectful. They yielded to the panda, and the panda yielded to them. They became friends.
+Anna likes to knit with yarn. She makes hats and scarves and mittens for her family and friends. She is very intelligent and learns new patterns from books and videos. She has a big basket of yarn in different colors and textures.
+
+One day, Anna wants to knit a hat for her brother Tom. She looks for the blue yarn that he likes, but she cannot find it in her basket. She thinks hard and remembers that she lent it to her friend Lily last week. She calls Lily on the phone and asks her if she still has the blue yarn.
+
+"Hi, Lily, this is Anna. Do you have my blue yarn?" Anna says.
+
+"Hi, Anna, yes, I do. I'm sorry, I forgot to give it back to you. I was busy with school and homework and chores. Can I bring it to you tomorrow?" Lily says.
+
+"That's okay, Lily, I understand. But can you please bring it to me today? I want to knit a hat for Tom's birthday, and it is tomorrow. He loves blue, and I don't have any other blue yarn," Anna says.
+
+"Of course, Anna, I will bring it to you today. I'm sorry I forgot. You are such a good knitter and a good friend. I will be there in an hour," Lily says.
+
+"Thank you, Lily, you are a good friend too. See you soon," Anna says.
+
+Anna hangs up the phone and smiles. She is happy that Lily is bringing her the blue yarn. She knows she can knit the hat in time for Tom's birthday. She hopes he will like it and wear it all winter. She thinks he is the best brother in the world.
+Lily likes to match. She has a green dress and green shoes. She has a green hat and a green bag. She likes to wear them all when she goes out.
+
+One day, she goes to the park with her mom. She sees a kid on the swing. He has a green shirt and green pants. He has a green cap and a green ball. He looks like Lily.
+
+Lily runs to the kid and says, "Hi, I like your green. I have green too. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The kid smiles and says, "Hi, I like your green too. You look like me. Yes, I want to play with you."
+
+They play with the ball and the swing. They share their hats and bags. They have fun. They match.
+Sam and Mia like to play with bricks. They have many bricks of different colors. They can make towers, houses, cars and animals with bricks.
+
+One day, they find a big orange brick in the park. They have never seen such a big brick before. They want to take it home and play with it.
+
+"Look, Mia, an orange brick!" Sam says. "It is so big and bright. Let's move it to our house."
+
+"OK, Sam, but it is very heavy. We need to push hard," Mia says.
+
+They try to move the brick, but it does not budge. They push and pull, but it does not move. They are tired and sad.
+
+"Maybe we need help," Sam says. "Let's ask Mom and Dad."
+
+They run to their parents, who are sitting on a bench. They tell them about the orange brick and ask them to help.
+
+"An orange brick? Where did you find it?" Mom asks.
+
+"In the park, near the slide. It is so big and pretty. Please help us move it," Mia says.
+
+Mom and Dad follow them to the park. They see the orange brick. They smile and laugh.
+
+"Sam and Mia, that is not a brick. That is a pumpkin!" Dad says. "Someone left it here for Halloween. You can't move it, because it is attached to a vine."
+
+"A pumpkin?" Sam and Mia say. "What is a pumpkin?"
+
+"A pumpkin is a fruit that grows on a vine. It is orange and round. You can carve it and make a face on it. It is fun and scary," Mom says.
+
+"Can we carve it and make a face on it?" Sam and Mia ask.
+
+"Sure, why not? But we need to ask the owner first. Maybe there is a sign or a note somewhere," Dad says.
+
+They look around and find a sign that says: "Free pumpkins. Take one and enjoy. Happy Halloween!"
+
+"Wow, free pumpkins! That is so nice. Can we take one, Mom and Dad?" Sam and Mia say.
+
+"Of course, you can. But you have to choose one that you can carry. The big orange one is too heavy for you," Mom says.
+
+Sam and Mia look at the other pumpkins. They find a smaller one that is also orange and round. They lift it and carry it to their house.
+
+They are happy and excited. They thank Mom and Dad for helping them. They carve the pumpkin and make a face on it. They put a candle inside and turn off the lights. The pumpkin glows and smiles.
+
+They have a new friend. They call him Orange Brick. They love him very much.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But Sara was not careful. She ran too fast and fell down. She hurt her knee and it was bleeding. She cried and cried.
+
+Tom saw Sara and ran to her. He said, "Don't cry, Sara. I will help you." He took off his scarf and wrapped it around her knee. He said, "This is a bandage. It will stop the blood and make you feel better." He helped her stand up and walk to the bench.
+
+Sara said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. But your scarf is dirty now. And your neck is cold." Tom said, "That's okay, Sara. I don't need the scarf. I have you. And you have me. We can share our warmth and our love."
+
+They sat on the bench and hugged each other. They felt the sun on their faces and the breeze on their hair. They felt cool and calm. They settled their hearts and their minds. They learned that being kind and caring is more important than being fast and careless. They smiled and said, "We are happy."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to draw pictures. They had many crayons and papers to make their pictures. But sometimes they were naughty and drew on the walls or the furniture. Their mom and dad were not happy when they saw the mess.
+
+One day, mom and dad had to go out for a while. They told Tom and Lily to be good and not to draw on anything but their papers. They also ordered a pizza for them to eat later. They said the pizza man would come and ring the bell, and they should open the door and pay him with the money they left on the table.
+
+Tom and Lily said yes, mom and dad, and waved goodbye. They decided to draw some pictures of the pizza they wanted to eat. They used red crayons for the sauce, yellow for the cheese, and brown for the pepperoni. They made their pictures very big and colorful.
+
+But then they ran out of papers. They looked around and saw the white wall in the living room. They thought it would be a good place to draw more pictures of pizza. They forgot what mom and dad said and started to draw on the wall with their crayons.
+
+They were having so much fun that they did not hear the bell ring. They did not hear the pizza man knock on the door. They did not hear him call out, "Pizza delivery!" They did not hear him leave the pizza on the doorstep and walk away.
+
+They only stopped when they heard mom and dad come back. They heard them gasp and say, "Oh no! What have you done?" They saw them look at the wall and the pizza on the floor. They saw them look at them with angry faces.
+
+Tom and Lily knew they were in trouble. They dropped their crayons and said, "We're sorry, mom and dad. We just wanted to make pictures of pizza."
+
+Mom and dad shook their heads and said, "That was very naughty of you. You did not listen to us. You did not open the door for the pizza man. You did not eat your pizza. You made a big mess. You have to clean it up and go to bed early. No more crayons for you today."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad and sorry. They wished they had been good and not drawn on the wall. They wished they had eaten their pizza and not wasted it. They wished they had not made mom and dad angry. They learned their lesson and said, "We're sorry, mom and dad. We won't do it again."
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with boats. They have a big box with many boats. They pretend to be sailors.
+
+One day, they want to play with boats in the pond. They go to the box and pick their boats. Sara picks a red boat. Tom picks a blue boat. They are happy.
+
+They go to the pond and prepare their boats. They put them in the water and make them sail. They say, "Ahoy, matey! We are sailors!"
+
+But then, a big duck comes to the pond. The duck sees the boats and thinks they are food. The duck swims to the boats and tries to bite them.
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They shout, "No, duck! Go away! These are our boats!"
+
+The duck does not listen. The duck bites Sara's boat and breaks it. Sara cries. She says, "My boat! My boat is broken!"
+
+Tom is angry. He says, "Bad duck! You are mean! Leave our boats alone!"
+
+The duck bites Tom's boat and breaks it too. Tom cries. He says, "My boat! My boat is broken too!"
+
+Sara and Tom are sad. They hug each other and say, "We are sorry. We have no boats now."
+
+They go back to the box and look for new boats. But they cannot find any. All the boats are broken or lost. They say, "This is not easy. This is hard. We have no boats to play with."
+
+They sit on the grass and feel sad. They wish they had new boats. They wish the duck was gone. They wish they could be sailors again.
+Ben and Sam liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made noises like engines and raced them on the floor. Sometimes they crashed their cars and pretended they were broken.
+
+One day, Ben found a new car in his toy box. It was red and shiny and had a big engine. He showed it to Sam and said, "Look at my new car! It is faster and louder than yours!"
+
+Sam felt jealous. He wanted the new car too. He said, "Can I play with it for a little bit?"
+
+Ben said, "No, it is mine! You have your own cars. Go away!"
+
+Sam was angry. He waited until Ben was not looking and grabbed the new car. He ran away with it and hid behind the sofa. He looked at the car and saw the big engine. He wondered how it worked. He opened his mouth and bit the engine.
+
+The engine was hard and metal. It hurt Sam's teeth and made a loud noise. Ben heard the noise and saw Sam with his car. He shouted, "Hey, that's my car! Give it back! You are biting it!"
+
+He ran to Sam and tried to take the car. Sam did not want to let go. He bit harder and harder. The engine broke and pieces flew out of his mouth. Some pieces cut his tongue and made him bleed. He cried out in pain and dropped the car.
+
+Ben picked up his car and saw the broken engine. He was very sad and angry. He said, "You are a bad friend! You are careless and mean! You broke my new car! I don't want to play with you anymore!"
+
+He took his car and went to his room. He slammed the door and did not talk to Sam. Sam was alone and hurt. He felt sorry and wished he had not bitten the engine. He wanted to say sorry to Ben, but Ben did not want to hear him. He had no one to play with and no car to race. He was very unhappy. The end.
+Tom and Jen are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a big box that they pretend is a space ship. They put on their helmets and say, "Ready for blast off!"
+
+They count down from five and make loud noises. They shake the box and pretend they are flying to the moon. They are having fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud thump from the kitchen. They stop playing and look at each other. They are scared. They wonder what made the noise.
+
+They get out of the box and tiptoe to the kitchen. They see their cat, Fluffy, lying on the floor. He is not moving. He is not breathing. He does not open his eyes.
+
+"Fluffy!" Jen cries. She runs to him and hugs him. "Fluffy, wake up! Please!"
+
+Tom follows her and touches Fluffy's fur. It is cold and stiff. He feels sad. He says, "Jen, I think Fluffy is dead. He is not alive anymore."
+
+Jen looks at Tom with big tears in her eyes. She does not understand. She says, "But why? He was fine this morning. He ate his food and played with us. He can't be dead. He can't!"
+
+Tom does not know what to say. He does not understand either. He hugs Jen and says, "I don't know, Jen. I don't know. Maybe he was sick. Maybe he was old. Maybe he went to space. I don't know."
+
+They sit on the floor and cry. They miss Fluffy. They wish he was still with them. They wish he was still alive.
+Tim and Amy were playing 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.
+
+Then they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking and wagging his tail. He looked friendly, but he was also very curious. He wanted to see the snowman.
+
+"Hello, doggy!" Amy said. "Do you like our snowman?"
+
+The dog sniffed the snowman's nose and licked it. He liked the carrot. He bit the carrot and pulled it out. The snowman's nose was gone.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tim shouted. "That's our snowman's nose!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He saw the snowman's hat and scarf. He liked them too. He jumped and grabbed the hat with his teeth. He tugged and tugged until the hat came off. The snowman's head was bare.
+
+"Bad dog!" Amy cried. "That's our snowman's hat!"
+
+The dog did not care. He saw the snowman's eyes and mouth. He liked them too. He pawed and scratched at the rocks and the sticks. He knocked them off. The snowman's face was gone.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tim yelled. "That's our snowman's face!"
+
+The dog did not obey. He saw the snowman's arms and buttons. He liked them too. He bit and chewed at the branches and the buttons. He broke them off. The snowman's body was ruined.
+
+"No, no, no!" Amy sobbed. "That's our snowman's arms and buttons!"
+
+The dog did not stop. He saw the snowman's gloves. He liked them too. He ran and snatched the gloves with his mouth. He ran away with them. The snowman was gone.
+
+Tim and Amy were very sad. They observed the terrible mess. Their snowman was gone. They had nothing left.
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They wished the dog had never come. They wished they still had their snowman. They wished they had more gloves.
+Tom and Amy were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw some big clouds in the sky. They were dark and heavy.
+
+"Look, Tom, it will rain soon," Amy said.
+
+"I don't like rain. It makes me wet and cold," Tom said.
+
+They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. It made them scared.
+
+"Let's go inside, Amy. Thunder is scary," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the door. But it was locked. Mom was not home yet.
+
+"Mom, mom, where are you?" Amy cried.
+
+Tom saw a stick on the ground. He had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can poke the door with the stick. Maybe it will open," he said.
+
+He picked up the stick and poked the door. But nothing happened. The door was still locked.
+
+He poked harder and harder. He made a hole in the door.
+
+"Tom, stop, you will break the door," Amy said.
+
+But Tom did not stop. He wanted to go inside. He poked and poked until the door broke.
+
+They went inside. They were happy. They were safe from the rain and the thunder.
+
+But then they heard a car. It was mom. She was home.
+
+She saw the broken door. She was angry.
+
+"Tom, Amy, what did you do?" she asked.
+
+They looked at each other. They were in trouble.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big waffle that their mom gave them. The waffle was soft and fluffy and smelled good. They pretended it was a cake, a hat, a pillow, or anything they wanted.
+
+One day, they had a fight over the waffle. Lily wanted to make it a dress, but Ben wanted to make it a car. They pulled and tugged on the waffle, but it did not break. They got angry and shouted at each other.
+
+"Give me the waffle!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said.
+
+They stopped playing and sat on opposite sides of the room. They looked at the waffle, but they did not feel happy. They felt sad and lonely.
+
+Their mom came in and saw them. She asked them what was wrong. They told her about their fight. She smiled and hugged them.
+
+"I have an idea," she said. "Why don't you unite the waffle and make something new?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean. They nodded and said sorry.
+
+They took the waffle and put it on the floor. They used some crayons, stickers, and ribbons to decorate it. They made it into a rainbow. It was bright and colorful and pretty.
+
+They were proud of their work. They hugged the waffle and each other. They thanked their mom for her idea.
+
+They played with the waffle again. They pretended it was a bridge, a slide, a tent, or anything they wanted. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+They learned that sharing and uniting was better than fighting and dividing. They also learned that the waffle was not boring. It was magic.
+Anna was hungry. She wanted some milk and cookies. She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. But there was no milk. She was sad.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, where is the milk?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sorry, Anna, we ran out of milk. I forgot to buy some at the store. Maybe we can go later."
+
+Anna pouted. She did not want to wait. She had an idea. She said, "Mom, can I go to the farm and get some milk?"
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "That's a good idea, Anna. But you have to be careful. The farm is far away. And you have to ask the farmer first. He is very nice. He will let you have some milk if you are polite."
+
+Anna nodded. She put on her coat and boots. She took a bottle and a straw. She said, "Bye, mom. I will be back soon."
+
+She walked to the farm. She saw many animals. She saw cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, and horses. She liked the animals. She said hello to them. She looked for the farmer. She searched and searched. She finally found him in the barn. He was milking a cow.
+
+She said, "Excuse me, sir. Can I have some milk, please?"
+
+The farmer looked at her. He was surprised. He said, "Well, hello, little girl. What are you doing here? Where is your mom?"
+
+Anna said, "My mom is at home. We have no milk. I came to get some. Can I have some, please?"
+
+The farmer smiled. He said, "Sure, you can have some milk. You are very brave and smart. But you have to be gentle with the cow. She is very kind. She gives us milk every day. We have to be grateful to her."
+
+Anna nodded. She said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, cow."
+
+The farmer helped her fill her bottle with milk. He gave her a cookie too. He said, "Here you go, little girl. Enjoy your milk and cookie. But don't forget to go back to your mom. She must be worried about you."
+
+Anna said, "Thank you, sir. You are very nice. I will go back now. Bye, cow. Bye, animals."
+
+She waved to the farmer and the animals. She ran back to her mom. She was happy. She had milk and cookie. She gave her mom a hug. She said, "Mom, look. I got some milk from the farm. The farmer was very nice. The cow was very kind. I am very grateful."
+
+Her mom hugged her back. She said, "I am proud of you, Anna. You are very brave and smart. But you also have to be careful. The farm is far away. Next time, you have to tell me first. OK?"
+
+Anna said, "OK, mom. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Anna. Now, let's have some milk and cookie together."
+One day, a little girl named Mia and her parent went to the park. Mia liked to play on the swings and the slide. She saw a boy on the swing and wanted to have a turn.
+
+"Can I swing now?" Mia asked the boy.
+
+"No, I am swinging. Go away!" the boy said.
+
+Mia felt sad and angry. She looked at her parent for help.
+
+"Mia, you have to yield sometimes. That means you have to let others have a turn too. Maybe you can ask the boy nicely if you can swing after him," her parent said.
+
+Mia nodded and tried to be polite. She waited for the boy to finish swinging.
+
+"Can I swing after you, please?" Mia asked the boy again.
+
+The boy looked at Mia and saw that she was not mean. He saw that her parent was old and kind.
+
+"Okay, you can swing after me. But only for a little while," the boy said.
+
+Mia smiled and thanked the boy. She waited patiently until the boy got off the swing. Then she climbed on and swung high and low. She felt happy and proud.
+
+She looked at her parent and said, "I yielded, and I made a friend!"
+Ben and Mia were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, they saw a big structure near the park. It looked like a castle, but it was made of metal and wood. It had many windows and doors, and a tall tower.
+
+"Let's go inside and see what's there," Ben said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might be dangerous," Mia said.
+
+They walked to the structure and opened a door. It was dark and dusty inside. They saw old furniture, broken toys, and strange paintings. They heard noises, like rats and birds.
+
+"This is creepy," Mia said.
+
+"Don't be scared. It's just an old house. Maybe someone used to live here," Ben said.
+
+They climbed the stairs to the tower. They wanted to see the view from the top. But when they reached the last step, they saw a man. He was wearing a mask and a cape. He had a big knife in his hand. He looked angry and mean.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here?" he shouted.
+
+Ben and Mia were very scared. They screamed and ran back down the stairs. They ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. The man was coming after them.
+
+"Help! Help! Someone help us!" they cried.
+
+Luckily, a policeman heard them. He was patrolling the park. He saw the structure and ran to it. He broke the door with his foot. He saw the man with the knife. He pointed his gun at him.
+
+"Drop the knife and put your hands up. You are under arrest," he said.
+
+The man dropped the knife and did what the policeman said. The policeman took him away. He was a bad man who was hiding in the structure. He had stolen many things and hurt many people.
+
+Ben and Mia were safe. They hugged the policeman and thanked him. He was a good man who saved them. He took them to their parents, who were very worried and happy to see them.
+
+"Never go inside strange structures again. They can be very dangerous. You could have been hurt or worse," their parents said.
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They learned their lesson. They were still adventurous, but they were also careful. They only explored safe and fun places. They never forgot the day they were scared by the man in the structure.
+Anna liked to joke with her friends. She thought it was fun to make them laugh. Sometimes she told funny stories, sometimes she made silly faces, and sometimes she played tricks on them.
+
+One day, she had a new idea for a joke. She found a lollipop that looked like a real one, but it was not. It was a lollipop that made your tongue turn blue. She wanted to give it to her friend Ben and see his face when he licked it.
+
+She waited for Ben at the playground. When he came, she smiled and said, "Hi, Ben. I have a present for you. It's a lollipop. Do you want it?" Ben liked lollipops, so he said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Anna." He took the lollipop and unwrapped it. He put it in his mouth and licked it.
+
+Anna watched him and waited for him to notice his tongue. She thought he would be surprised and laugh. But he did not. He made a face and spat out the lollipop. He said, "Yuck! This is not a lollipop. This is a bad lollipop. It tastes awful. And look at my tongue. It's blue. Why did you do that, Anna?"
+
+Anna felt embarrassed. She did not mean to make Ben angry or sad. She wanted to make him happy. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was joking. I thought it would be funny. I didn't know it would taste bad. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Ben looked at her and saw that she was sorry. He said, "It's okay, Anna. I'm not mad at you. But that was not a good joke. It was a mean joke. Next time, please don't joke like that. Joke with nice things, not bad things."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "I promise, Ben. I will joke with nice things. Can we still be friends?" Ben smiled and said, "Yes, we can still be friends. But you owe me a real lollipop." Anna agreed and gave him a hug. They went to the store and bought a real lollipop. They shared it and laughed. They learned that jokes are better when they are kind and not hurtful.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toy soldiers. They had many soldiers of different colors and shapes. They made two teams and pretended they were two nations at war.
+
+One day, Tom had a new idea. He said to Sam, "Let's make a tall tower with our blocks. Then we can put our soldiers on top and see who can knock it down first." Sam agreed. They worked hard to build a tall tower in the middle of the floor. They put their soldiers on the tower and got ready to throw balls at it.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom coming home. She opened the door and saw the tower and the soldiers. She was not happy. She said, "What are you doing? You made a big mess. You could have hurt yourselves or broken something. You have to clean this up right now."
+
+Tom and Sam were scared. They did not want to make their mom angry. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were just playing. We didn't mean to make a mess." They started to pick up their blocks and soldiers.
+
+But as they did, they saw something that made them worry. Their mom had a big bag in her hand. It had a picture of a plane on it. She said, "Boys, I have to tell you something. I have to go on a trip for work. I have to fly to another nation. I will be gone for a few days."
+
+Tom and Sam did not like this. They did not want their mom to go away. They said, "No, mom. Don't go. We will miss you. We love you." They hugged their mom and cried.
+
+Their mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, boys. But I have to go. It's important for my job. Don't worry. I will be back soon. Your dad will take care of you. He will play with you and read you stories. You will have fun. And I will call you every day. OK?"
+
+Tom and Sam nodded. They tried to be brave. They said, "OK, mom. Have a good trip. Be safe. We will wait for you." They helped their mom pack her bag and gave her one last hug. They watched her leave and waved goodbye.
+
+They looked at each other and sighed. They did not feel like playing anymore. They put away their blocks and soldiers and went to their room. They hoped their mom would come back soon. They missed her already.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, but then Ben wants to play with the doll too.
+
+"Can I have the doll?" Ben asks Lily.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily says. "You have the car, I have the doll."
+
+"But I want to try the doll. It has a dress and hair. The car is boring." Ben says.
+
+Lily does not understand why Ben wants the doll. She likes the car. It has wheels and lights. She thinks Ben is being silly.
+
+"Fine, you can have the doll for a little bit. But give it back soon." Lily says. She gives the doll to Ben and takes the car.
+
+Ben is happy. He holds the doll and makes it talk. "Hello, I'm a doll. I like to dance and sing." He says.
+
+Lily watches Ben. She thinks he is playing wrong. The doll does not dance or sing. The doll is fake. It is not real.
+
+Lily gets angry. She wants her doll back. She grabs the doll from Ben and pulls hard.
+
+"Hey, stop it! That's not nice!" Ben says. He pulls back.
+
+They both pull and pull. The doll is in the middle. It cannot take it. It breaks.
+
+The doll's head falls off. The doll's dress rips. The doll's hair comes out.
+
+Lily and Ben stop pulling. They look at the doll. It is ruined.
+
+They both start to cry. They are sad and sorry. They wish they did not fight.
+
+But it is too late. The doll is gone. They cannot fix it.
+
+They have no doll and no car. They have no fun. They have a bad ending.
+Tom and Lily wanted to play at the park. They asked their mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay together. Tom and Lily were glad. They put on their shoes and coats and ran to the park.
+
+At the park, there were many things to do. There was a slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a seesaw. Tom and Lily tried them all. They had fun. But then, Tom saw a big ball. He wanted to play with it. He ran to the ball and picked it up. He threw it in the air and caught it.
+
+Lily followed him. She wanted to play with the ball too. She asked Tom to share. "Tom, can I play with the ball?" she said. But Tom did not listen. He ignored her. He threw the ball again and again. He did not care about Lily.
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not like Tom. She walked away. She saw a dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. It looked friendly. Lily liked dogs. She went to the dog and petted it. The dog licked her face. Lily smiled.
+
+But the dog was not friendly. It was angry. It did not like strangers. It barked and growled. It bit Lily's hand. Lily screamed. She was hurt. She was scared. She cried.
+
+Tom heard Lily scream. He dropped the ball and ran to her. He saw the dog and Lily's hand. He was sorry. He wished he had shared the ball. He wished he had not ignored Lily. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+But it was too late. The dog had hurt Lily. Lily had to go to the hospital. She had to get stitches. She had to stay in bed. She was not glad. She was mad. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She did not forgive him. Tom was sad. He had lost his sister. He had learned a hard lesson. He had to be nice. He had to share. He had to listen. He had to care.
+Tom and Anna loved to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. Sometimes they had races to see who was faster.
+
+One day, Tom had a new idea. He said to Anna, "Let's make a track for our cars. We can use the cardboard boxes and the tape. We can make hills and bridges and tunnels. It will be fun!"
+
+Anna agreed. She thought it was a brilliant idea. They went to the garage and found a big supply of boxes and tape. They worked hard to make the track. They cut and folded and stuck the boxes together. They made a long and winding track that filled the whole garage.
+
+When they finished, they were very proud of their track. They put their cars at the start line and got ready to race. Tom said, "On your mark, get set, go!" They pushed their cars and watched them speed along the track.
+
+But there was a problem. Tom had used too much tape to make the tunnel. The tape was sticky and made the cars slow down. Anna's car went through the tunnel first and came out fast. Tom's car got stuck in the tunnel and could not move. Anna's car crossed the finish line and won the race.
+
+Anna cheered and said, "I won, I won! My car is the fastest!" Tom was sad and said, "No fair, no fair! Your car cheated! The tunnel was too sticky!"
+
+Anna said, "It's not my fault. You made the tunnel. You used too much tape. You should have checked it before the race."
+
+Tom realized she was right. He had made a mistake. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. You are right. You won fair and square. Your car is the fastest. Can we play again?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Sure, Tom. We can play again. But next time, let's use less tape for the tunnel. OK?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "OK, Anna. Less tape for the tunnel. And maybe we can make some other changes to the track. How about a loop or a ramp or a jump?"
+
+Anna said, "That sounds fun, Tom. Let's do it!"
+
+They hugged and went to get more boxes and tape. They had more fun making and racing their cars on their brilliant track.
+One day, a little mouse named Milo saw an enormous cheese in the kitchen. He wanted to eat some, but the cheese was too big for him to carry. He looked around and saw a big cat sleeping on the sofa. He had an idea.
+
+He tiptoed to the cheese and bit a small piece. He put the piece in his mouth and ran to the cat. He put the cheese on the cat's nose and ran away. The cheese smelled good and the cat woke up. He saw the cheese and licked it.
+
+"Who put this cheese on my nose?" the cat said. He looked around and saw Milo hiding behind a chair. He was angry and chased Milo.
+
+"Stop, cat! It was a joke!" Milo said. He ran to his hole, but the cat was faster. He caught Milo by his tail and lifted him up.
+
+"Now I will eat you and the cheese!" the cat said. He opened his mouth wide.
+
+But then, he heard a loud bark. It was the dog, who had heard the noise. He ran to the kitchen and saw the cat and the mouse. He barked at the cat and scared him.
+
+"Drop the mouse, cat! He is my friend!" the dog said. The cat was afraid and dropped Milo. He ran to the sofa and hid.
+
+"Thank you, dog! You saved me!" Milo said. He was happy and hugged the dog.
+
+"You're welcome, mouse! You are brave and funny!" the dog said. He licked Milo and smiled.
+
+The dog and the mouse became friends. They shared the cheese and had a good time. The cat was angry and jealous. He learned not to mess with the mouse and the dog.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with toys and watch cartoons on the screen. One day, Lily saw a cute doll in the shop. She wanted it very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her.
+
+"Please, mom, can I have the doll? It is so cute and soft. I will love it and take care of it," Lily said.
+
+"Okay, Lily, you can have the doll. But you have to promise me something. You have to share it with Tom when he comes over. He is your friend and he likes dolls too," mom said.
+
+"I promise, mom. I will share it with Tom. Thank you, mom. You are the best," Lily said.
+
+Lily was very happy. She hugged the doll and named it Daisy. She played with it all day and night. She forgot about Tom and the screen. She only cared about Daisy.
+
+The next day, Tom came over to play with Lily. He knocked on the door and waited. Lily opened the door and saw him.
+
+"Hi, Lily. Can I come in and play with you?" Tom asked.
+
+"Hi, Tom. No, you can't. I have a new doll and she is mine. You can't touch her or play with her. Go away," Lily said.
+
+Tom was very sad and angry. He liked Lily and he wanted to play with her and the doll. He did not understand why Lily was so mean to him.
+
+"But Lily, you promised your mom that you would share the doll with me. We are friends. Why are you being so selfish?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't care. I forgot my promise. I don't want to be your friend anymore. You are boring and ugly. Daisy is my only friend. Now go away and leave me alone," Lily said.
+
+Tom felt hurt and betrayed. He turned around and ran away. He cried and cried. He decided that he would never talk to Lily again. He hated her and her doll.
+
+Lily closed the door and went back to her room. She hugged Daisy and smiled. She thought she was happy. But she was not. She had lost a real friend and gained a fake one. She had made a big mistake. But she did not know it yet. She would soon find out.
+Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend that the furniture was a castle, a spaceship, or a jungle. They used pillows, blankets, and toys to make their games more fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a pretty crown with the shiny beads," Max said, putting it on his head. "Now I am the king of the castle, and you are the queen."
+
+Lily smiled and picked up a scarf. She wrapped it around her neck and said, "And I have a pretty necklace. We are the best rulers ever. Let's have a tea party with our stuffed animals."
+
+They set up a small table and chairs with their cups and plates. They invited their teddy bear, their bunny, and their dinosaur to join them. They poured water from a plastic pitcher and pretended it was tea. They talked and laughed and had a good time.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom, who had dropped a pot on the floor. She sounded angry and scared.
+
+"Kids, hurry, come here!" she shouted. "There is a fire on the stove. We need to get out of the house now!"
+
+Lily and Max dropped their cups and plates and ran to the kitchen. They saw smoke and flames coming from the pot. They felt hot and scared.
+
+"Mom, what happened?" Lily asked.
+
+"I was cooking some soup and I forgot to turn off the burner. The pot boiled over and caught fire. Don't worry, I called the firemen. They will be here soon. But we need to leave now. Grab your coats and follow me," Mom said.
+
+She took Lily and Max by the hand and led them to the front door. They put on their coats and ran outside. They saw a big red truck with sirens and lights coming down the street. It stopped in front of their house. Some men in yellow suits and helmets jumped out. They had hoses and axes and ladders. They ran to the house and started to spray water on the fire.
+
+Lily and Max watched from a safe distance. They hugged their mom and each other. They were glad they were okay. They hoped their furniture and toys were okay too. They thanked the firemen for saving their house. They learned a lesson about fire safety. They never played with the stove again.
+Anna and Ben like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with different pictures. They have a puzzle with a pretty flower, a puzzle with a big truck, a puzzle with a funny monkey, and a puzzle with a happy family.
+
+One day, they decide to mix all the puzzles together and make a new picture. They dump all the pieces on the floor and start to look for matches. They have fun trying to unite the pieces that fit.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found the monkey's tail!" Anna says, holding a piece with a brown curve.
+
+"Good, Anna, I found the monkey's head!" Ben says, holding a piece with a smiling face.
+
+They unite the two pieces and make the monkey. They put the monkey on the side and look for more pieces.
+
+"Look, Anna, I found the flower's stem!" Ben says, holding a piece with a green line.
+
+"Good, Ben, I found the flower's petals!" Anna says, holding a piece with a colorful circle.
+
+They unite the two pieces and make the flower. They put the flower on the side and look for more pieces.
+
+They keep playing until they unite all the pieces and make a new picture. The new picture has the flower on the truck, the monkey on the family, and the family on the monkey. They laugh and clap their hands.
+
+"Wow, Anna, we made a new picture!" Ben says, looking at their work.
+
+"Yes, Ben, we did! It is a very pretty picture!" Anna says, looking at their work.
+
+They are very happy and proud of their puzzle. They show their picture to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad smile and hug them.
+
+"That is a very pretty picture, Anna and Ben!" their mom says, looking at their puzzle.
+
+"Yes, it is! You are very clever and creative, Anna and Ben!" their dad says, looking at their puzzle.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and hug their mom and dad. They love to play with puzzles. They love to unite the pieces and make new pictures. They love to have fun.
+Sara and Ben wanted to make a pumpkin face for Halloween. They asked Mom to help them. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful. She gave them a big pumpkin and a sharp knife.
+
+Sara and Ben took turns to cut the pumpkin. Sara cut a big hole on top. Ben cut two eyes and a nose. They wanted to cut a mouth, but the knife was too sharp. Ben slipped and cut his finger. He cried and dropped the knife.
+
+Mom heard Ben cry and ran to them. She saw the blood and the knife and the pumpkin. She was scared and angry. She took Ben to the sink and washed his finger. She put a band-aid on it and hugged him. She told Sara and Ben they were very naughty. They should not play with sharp things. They could hurt themselves or others.
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry and sad. They did not want to hurt Ben or make Mom angry. They wanted to make a pumpkin face for fun. They looked at the pumpkin. It had two eyes and a nose, but no mouth. It looked helpless and sad, too.
+
+Mom saw the pumpkin and felt sorry, too. She knew Sara and Ben did not mean to be bad. She told them she loved them and forgave them. She said they could finish the pumpkin face together. She got a spoon and a marker. She scooped out the seeds and the pulp. She drew a smile on the pumpkin. She cut along the line with the knife. She put a candle inside the pumpkin and lit it.
+
+Sara and Ben smiled, too. They thanked Mom and hugged her. They put the pumpkin face on the porch. It looked happy and bright. They said sorry to the pumpkin and thanked it. They said they would be more careful next time. They learned a lesson from the sharp knife and the pumpkin.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. The box is open. Tom wants to look inside.
+
+"Maybe there is a toy in the box," Tom says. "Let's go and see."
+
+Lily is scared. She thinks the box is dangerous. She sees a sign on the box. The sign has a picture of a snake.
+
+"No, Tom, don't go," Lily says. "The box has a snake. The snake can bite you. It can hurt you."
+
+Tom does not believe Lily. He thinks Lily is joking. He laughs and runs to the box.
+
+"Lily, you are silly," Tom says. "There is no snake in the box. You are trying to make me scared."
+
+Tom reaches the box and looks inside. He sees something shiny and green. He thinks it is a toy. He puts his hand in the box.
+
+Suddenly, he hears a hiss. He feels a pain in his hand. He screams and pulls his hand out. He sees a snake on his hand. The snake is biting him.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom cries. "Lily, you were right. There is a snake in the box. It bit me. It hurts."
+
+Lily runs to Tom and hugs him. She is sorry for Tom. She is also angry at the snake.
+
+"Tom, I'm sorry," Lily says. "I was not joking. The sign was true. The box was dangerous. We need to get help."
+
+Lily and Tom run to the park keeper. The park keeper sees Tom's hand. He calls an ambulance. He takes Tom and Lily to the hospital.
+
+The doctor gives Tom some medicine. He says Tom will be okay. He says the snake was not very poisonous. He says Tom was lucky.
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They say sorry to each other. They promise to be careful next time. They learn to not joke about dangerous things. They learn to listen to each other. They are still friends.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, their mom made them some yummy cookies and milk and put them on a tray. She told them to share and be nice to each other.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the tray and each took a cookie. But Lily wanted more. She saw that there were four cookies left on the tray. She thought, "I want all the cookies for myself. Ben can have the milk." She was selfish.
+
+She grabbed the tray and ran away from Ben. Ben was sad and angry. He said, "Lily, that's not fair! Give me some cookies too!" He followed Lily to the living room. Lily ran faster and faster. She did not want to share.
+
+But Lily was not careful. She tripped over a toy and fell down. The tray flew out of her hands and the cookies broke into pieces. Lily and Ben both cried. They had no cookies to eat.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and the tears. She said, "Lily, Ben, what did you do? Why did you fight over the cookies? You should have shared and been nice to each other. Now you have no cookies and you are unhappy. That's what happens when you are selfish."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were selfish. We should have shared and been nice to each other. Can we have some more cookies, please?"
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I'm glad you learned your lesson. Yes, you can have some more cookies, but only if you promise to share and be nice to each other. And you have to clean up the mess first."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We promise, mom. We will share and be nice to each other. And we will clean up the mess." They hugged each other and said, "We love you, mom. And we love each other too."
+
+The end.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a mark on it. The mark is brown and soft.
+
+"What is that?" Lila asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a bug made it," Tom says.
+
+They touch the mark. It is wet and smelly.
+
+"Yuck!" Lila says. "It is rot!"
+
+They hear a noise. It is a squirrel. The squirrel is fast. It runs to the tree and jumps on the mark.
+
+"Hey, squirrel! That is rot! Don't eat it!" Tom shouts.
+
+But the squirrel does not listen. It bites the mark and makes a face.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" the squirrel says. "That is bad! That hurts!"
+
+The squirrel spits out the mark and runs away.
+
+Lila and Tom laugh.
+
+"Silly squirrel! Rot is not food!" Lila says.
+
+They leave the tree and go to play on the swings. They are happy.
+Lily loved books. She liked to look at the pictures and hear the stories. Sometimes, she read books by herself in her room. But she had a rule: she had to put the books back on the shelf when she was done.
+
+One day, Lily found a new book in the living room. It had a shiny cover and a funny title. She wanted to read it very much. She took the book and ran to her room. She did not ask her mom or dad if she could borrow it.
+
+She read the book and laughed at the jokes. She liked the book a lot. She wanted to keep it. She thought, maybe mom and dad will not notice. She hid the book under her pillow and went to play.
+
+Later, mom came to Lily's room. She saw the book under the pillow. She asked Lily, "Where did you get this book?"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to tell the truth. She lied. She said, "It was in my room. It is mine."
+
+Mom was sad. She knew Lily was lying. She said, "Lily, that is not true. This book is not yours. It belongs to your cousin. He lent it to me. He will come to get it tomorrow. You should not take things that are not yours. And you should not lie. Lying is naughty. It hurts people's feelings. How would you feel if someone took your books and lied to you?"
+
+Lily felt sorry. She knew mom was right. She said, "I am sorry, mom. I was wrong. I liked the book so much. I wanted to keep it. But I should have asked you first. And I should not have lied. I will give the book back to you. And I will say sorry to my cousin."
+
+Mom hugged Lily. She said, "I am glad you are sorry. I forgive you. But you have to learn from your mistake. Books are wonderful. But honesty is more important. Next time, be honest and respectful. And always put the books back on the shelf when you are done."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I will, mom. Thank you for teaching me. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go and have some cookies. And maybe we can read another book together. But this time, one that is yours."
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play in the forest. They liked to look for acorns that fell from the big trees. They also liked to dance and sing with the birds and the squirrels.
+
+One day, they found a very big acorn that was shiny and smooth. They both wanted to have it, but they did not want to share. They started to argue and pull the acorn from each other.
+
+"Give me the acorn, it is mine!" said Anna.
+
+"No, it is mine, I saw it first!" said Ben.
+
+They did not notice that a fox was watching them from behind a bush. The fox was hungry and clever. He saw a chance to get a tasty snack.
+
+"Hello, little ones," said the fox with a sweet voice. "Why are you fighting over this acorn? It is not very special. I know where you can find a much bigger and better acorn. Follow me and I will show you."
+
+Anna and Ben stopped arguing and looked at the fox. They thought he was friendly and helpful. They did not know that he was lying and wanted to eat them. They followed the fox deeper into the forest.
+
+The fox led them to a dark and scary cave. He said, "The acorn is inside. Go and get it. I will wait for you here."
+
+Anna and Ben were curious and excited. They went into the cave, leaving the acorn behind. The fox smiled and licked his lips. He was ready to pounce on them when they came out.
+
+But inside the cave, Anna and Ben saw something that made them scream. There was a big bear sleeping on a pile of bones. The bear woke up and roared. He was angry and hungry too.
+
+Anna and Ben ran out of the cave as fast as they could. They saw the fox waiting for them. They realized that he had tricked them. They were scared and angry.
+
+"Help, help!" they cried. "The fox is bad, he wants to eat us!"
+
+The birds and the squirrels heard their cries. They were friends with Anna and Ben. They came to help them. They flew and jumped on the fox. They pecked and scratched him. They made him run away.
+
+Anna and Ben hugged each other. They were safe and happy. They thanked the birds and the squirrels for saving them. They learned a lesson.
+
+They said, "We were silly and greedy. We should have shared the acorn. We should not have trusted the fox. He was not friendly, he was clever and mean. We are sorry for fighting. We are friends again."
+
+They took the acorn and broke it in half. They gave one half to the birds and the squirrels. They kept the other half for themselves. They danced and sang with their friends. They were intelligent and kind.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for treasure. They had a map, a hat and a magnifying glass.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found something shiny!" Lily said, pointing to a spot under a bush. She crawled closer and saw a round, golden thing. "It's a cookie!"
+
+"A cookie? How did it get there?" Ben asked, following her. He took the cookie and examined it. It smelled sweet and had chocolate chips. "Maybe someone left it for us. Maybe it's a magic cookie!"
+
+Lily's eyes widened. She loved magic. "Do you think it can grant wishes?" she asked.
+
+"Let's try!" Ben said. He broke the cookie in half and gave one piece to Lily. "You go first. Make a wish and take a bite."
+
+Lily thought hard. She wished for something incredible. Something she always wanted. She wished for a unicorn. She bit the cookie and waited.
+
+Nothing happened. She felt disappointed. "Maybe it doesn't work," she said.
+
+"Maybe you have to wish harder," Ben said. He wished for something incredible too. Something he always wanted. He wished for a rocket. He bit the cookie and waited.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a bright light in the sky. It was a rocket, flying over their heads. It was shiny and colorful and made a whoosh sound.
+
+"Wow!" Ben shouted. "It worked! It worked! I got a rocket!"
+
+Lily was amazed. She looked at her cookie and wondered. Maybe it did work. Maybe her unicorn was on its way. She smiled and took another bite. She hoped it would be incredible.
+Tom and Lily love to cook with Mom. They help her to make a cake for Dad's birthday. They mix flour, eggs, sugar and butter in a big bowl. They pour the batter into a round pan and Mom puts it in the oven.
+
+While the cake is baking, they make some frosting. They use cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla. They stir it until it is smooth and white. They also cut some strawberries and bananas for the top of the cake.
+
+When the cake is done, Mom takes it out of the oven and lets it cool. Then she spreads the frosting all over the cake. Tom and Lily help her to decorate it with the fruit. They make a smiley face with the strawberries and bananas. They also write "Happy Birthday Dad" with some sprinkles.
+
+They put the cake in the fridge and wait for Dad to come home. They are very excited to surprise him with their treat. They think he will love it and say it is brilliant. They are proud of their cooking and can't wait to taste the cake. They hug Mom and each other and smile.
+Sam and Mia liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made a race track with cardboard and tape. They wanted to see who had the fastest car.
+
+"Let's race, Sam!" Mia said. "The winner gets a cookie!"
+
+"OK, Mia!" Sam said. "But you have to pay if you lose!"
+
+They put their cars at the start line. They counted to three and pushed their cars. The cars zoomed along the track. Sam's car was red and Mia's car was blue.
+
+"Go, go, go!" Sam and Mia shouted.
+
+But then, something happened. Sam's car hit a bump and flew off the track. It landed on the floor and broke into pieces. Sam was sad. He liked his car.
+
+"Oh no, Sam!" Mia said. "I'm sorry your car broke!"
+
+She stopped her car and ran to Sam. She gave him a hug and a cookie.
+
+"It's OK, Mia," Sam said. "You won the race. You have the fastest car."
+
+"Thank you, Sam," Mia said. "But you don't have to pay. We can share the cookie. And we can fix your car together."
+
+They smiled and ate the cookie. They were good friends. They did not mind the messy floor. They had fun playing with cars.
+Sara loved to play dress-up. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown, and a long necklace. She felt like a princess when she wore them. She liked to pretend that she lived in a big castle with a lot of flowers and animals.
+
+One day, she asked her mom if she could go outside and play. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and stay in the yard. Sara put on her dress, her crown, and her necklace and ran outside. She saw a big tree with a smooth trunk and a lot of branches. She thought it would be fun to climb the tree and see the whole world.
+
+She grabbed the trunk and started to climb. She was very brave and strong. She reached the first branch and smiled. She looked around and saw the birds, the clouds, and the houses. She felt like a real princess. She wanted to go higher and higher.
+
+She climbed to the second branch and then to the third. She was very high now. She could see the cars, the people, and the park. She felt like a queen. She wanted to go higher and higher.
+
+She climbed to the fourth branch and then to the fifth. She was very, very high now. She could see the sun, the moon, and the stars. She felt like a fairy. She wanted to go higher and higher.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Her necklace got caught on a branch and pulled her down. She screamed and fell. She felt a lot of pain. She cried and cried.
+
+Her mom heard her scream and ran to her. She saw her lying on the ground, with her dress torn, her crown broken, and her necklace snapped. She picked her up and hugged her. She said, "Oh, Sara, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"
+
+Sara sobbed and said, "No, mom, I'm not okay. I'm not a princess, I'm not a queen, I'm not a fairy. I'm just a silly girl who fell from a tree."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "No, Sara, you're not a silly girl. You're a brave and strong girl who had a big adventure. And you're always my princess, no matter what. I love you, Sara."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. Can we go inside and have some ice cream?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go."
+
+They walked inside, holding hands. Sara felt better. She still liked to play dress-up, but she learned to be more careful. She also learned that being a princess was not about what you wear, but about who you are.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the park. One night, they see a big sign on a building. The sign has many colors and shapes. It glows in the dark.
+
+"Wow, look at that sign!" Tom says. "It is so bright and pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Mia says. "Do you know what it says?"
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not know many big words. He only knows some letters and numbers.
+
+"Me neither," Mia says. "But I like the colors and shapes. They make me feel warm and happy."
+
+They walk closer to the sign. They see a man standing near the door of the building. He smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, kids," he says. "Do you like the sign?"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Tom and Mia say.
+
+"That's good," the man says. "The sign is for my shop. I sell toys and books and candy. Do you want to come in and see?"
+
+Tom and Mia look at each other. They are curious, but they also know they should not go with strangers.
+
+"Thank you, but no," Tom says. "We have to go home soon. Our moms are waiting for us."
+
+"OK, then," the man says. "Maybe another time. Have a good night, kids."
+
+"Bye, mister," Mia says.
+
+They wave at the man and walk away. They hold hands and look at the sign one more time. It still glows in the dark. It still makes them feel warm and happy.
+Anna and Ben like to play hide and seek. Anna is good at hiding. She can hide under the bed, behind the sofa, or in the closet. Ben is not so good at hiding. He is too big and loud. He always makes noise when he moves.
+
+One day, they play hide and seek in the park. Anna runs and finds a big bush. She hides behind the bush and waits for Ben. Ben looks for Anna. He looks behind the trees, under the slide, and in the sandbox. He cannot find Anna. He gets angry. He thinks Anna is cheating.
+
+He walks around the park and yells, "Anna, where are you? Come out, come out, or I will find you!" He stomps his feet and kicks the grass. He does not see the rock on the ground. He trips over the rock and falls. He hurts his knee. He cries, "Ow, ow, ow!"
+
+Anna hears Ben crying. She comes out from behind the bush. She sees Ben on the ground. She runs to him and says, "Ben, are you okay? What happened?" She sees his knee. It is red and bleeding. She says, "Oh, no, your knee is hurt. I'm sorry, Ben."
+
+Ben looks at Anna. He is not angry anymore. He is sad and scared. He says, "Anna, I'm sorry, too. I was mad at you. I thought you were hiding too long. But you were just playing. It was a fun game. Can you help me?" Anna nods and says, "Yes, Ben, I can help you. Let's go to the nurse. She will make your knee better. Then we can play again. But no more kicking the grass, okay?" Ben smiles and says, "Okay, Anna. Thank you. You are a good friend." Anna helps Ben get up and they walk to the nurse. They hold hands and say, "Hide and seek is fun, but not when we get hurt."
+One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They also liked to look for bugs and animals in the grass.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Ben said, holding a long, slimy thing in his hand. "It is hairy and wiggly. Do you want to touch it?"
+
+"Yuck, no!" Lily said, making a face. "I don't like worms. They are gross. Put it back, Ben!"
+
+But Ben did not listen. He ran after Lily with the worm, trying to make her touch it. Lily screamed and ran away, looking for a place to hide.
+
+She saw a big tree with a hole in it. She ran to the tree and crawled inside the hole. She hoped Ben would not find her there.
+
+But Ben saw where she went. He followed her to the tree and peeked inside the hole. He saw Lily sitting there, scared and angry.
+
+"Ha, ha, I found you, Lily!" Ben said, holding the worm in front of her face. "Now you have to touch it!"
+
+"Go away, Ben!" Lily said, pushing him away. "You are mean! I don't want to play with you!"
+
+"Sorry, Lily, I was just joking," Ben said, feeling sorry. "I won't bother you with the worm anymore. Do you want to come out and play something else?"
+
+Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She crawled out of the hole and hugged him.
+
+"Okay, Ben, I forgive you," Lily said. "But don't ever do that again. Let's go and play on the swings."
+
+"Okay, Lily, let's go," Ben said, throwing the worm back in the grass. "And let's leave the worms alone. They don't like to be picked up."
+
+They ran to the swings and had fun together. They forgot about the worm and the tree. They were happy.
+Tim and Mia were friends who liked to play with blocks. They built a big tower with many colors and shapes. They were very gifted at making towers. They were proud of their tower and showed it to their teacher.
+
+"Wow, what a wonderful tower!" the teacher said. "You are very gifted, Tim and Mia. You worked together and used your imagination."
+
+Tim and Mia smiled and thanked the teacher. They wanted to keep their tower for a long time.
+
+But then, Sam came along. Sam was a naughty boy who liked to break things. He saw the tower and wanted to knock it down. He ran towards the tower and shouted, "Watch out, I'm going to shake your tower!"
+
+Tim and Mia were scared and angry. They shouted back, "No, Sam, don't shake our tower! We worked hard on it. It's not nice to break things!"
+
+But Sam did not listen. He reached the tower and started to shake it with his hands. The blocks fell down and made a loud noise. The tower was gone.
+
+Tim and Mia cried and hugged each other. They were sad and hurt. The teacher saw what happened and came to help them. She scolded Sam and made him pick up the blocks. She said, "Sam, that was very mean and rude. You should not shake other people's towers. You should respect their work and feelings. How would you like it if someone shook your tower?"
+
+Sam felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Tim and Mia. I was jealous of your tower. It was so big and beautiful. I wanted to have one too. But I should have asked you to teach me how to make one, not shake yours. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Tim and Mia looked at Sam. They saw he was sincere. They decided to forgive him. They said, "It's okay, Sam. We forgive you. But you have to promise not to shake our towers again. And you have to be nice and friendly. Then we can be friends and play together."
+
+Sam nodded and smiled. He said, "I promise. And I would like to be your friend and play with you. Can you teach me how to make a tower?"
+
+Tim and Mia agreed. They said, "Sure, we can teach you. We are gifted, but we can share our gift. Come on, let's make a new tower together."
+
+They took the blocks and started to build a new tower. They helped each other and had fun. The teacher watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them get along and learn from each other. She thought, "What a wonderful lesson. They learned to be kind, forgiving, and generous. They learned to use their gift for good, not evil. They learned to be friends, not enemies."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big thing with many steps and a slide. They wanted to climb the thing and slide down.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said not to climb too high."
+
+They ran to the thing and started to climb. Tom was faster than Lily. He climbed to the top and saw the slide. He smiled and shouted, "Look, Lily! I'm at the top! I'm going to slide down!"
+
+But Lily was not at the top. She was still on the steps. She was scared. The thing was too high for her. She wanted to go down, but she did not know how. She cried, "Tom, help me! I'm stuck! I want to go down!"
+
+Tom did not hear Lily. He was too busy sliding down. He did not see Lily crying. He did not see the naughty dog that came to the park. The dog saw Lily and barked. It ran to the thing and jumped on the steps. It bit Lily's leg and made her scream.
+
+Lily screamed louder and louder. Tom heard her and looked up. He saw the dog and Lily. He was scared too. He ran to help Lily, but it was too late. The dog had hurt Lily badly. Lily's leg was bleeding. She was in pain.
+
+Mommy heard the screams and ran to the park. She saw Tom and Lily and the dog. She was angry and sad. She called the police and the doctor. She hugged Tom and Lily and said, "Why did you climb the thing? Why did you not listen to me? You were naughty and now Lily is hurt. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Tom."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big, shiny rock in the grass. They wanted to see what was inside the rock, so they decided to split it with a stick.
+
+"Let me do it," said Tom, who was older by two minutes. He took the stick and hit the rock hard. But the rock did not split. It only made a loud noise.
+
+"No, let me do it," said Lily, who was smaller but smarter. She took the stick and looked for a crack in the rock. She found one and put the stick in it. Then she pushed the stick and the rock split in two.
+
+"Wow!" said Tom and Lily together. They saw that the rock had many colors and sparkles inside. It was very pretty. They each took half of the rock and smiled.
+
+"Let's keep them safe," said Lily. "We can put them in our room and show them to Mom and Dad later."
+
+"That's a good idea," said Tom. "You are very wise, Lily. I'm sorry I did not listen to you before."
+
+"It's okay, Tom. You are very strong, and I love you," said Lily.
+
+They hugged and ran back to their house, holding their halves of the rock. They were very happy. They had found a treasure and learned a lesson.
+Tommy loves animals. He has a dog named Spot and a cat named Fluffy. He likes to play with them and feed them and pet them. He wants to be a veterinarian when he grows up. A veterinarian is a person who helps animals when they are sick or hurt.
+
+One day, Tommy and his mom go to visit his grandma. His grandma lives in a big house with a big yard. She also has a horse named Star. Star is very old and very gentle. Tommy likes to ride on Star with his grandma. He feels very happy and brave.
+
+But today, something is wrong. Star is lying on the grass and not moving. Tommy sees that Star is breathing hard and making noises. He runs to his grandma and says, "Grandma, grandma, something is wrong with Star! She is sick!"
+
+His grandma looks worried and says, "Oh no, Tommy, you are right. Star is very sick. We need to call the veterinarian right away. He can help Star."
+
+She takes out her phone and calls the veterinarian. She tells him that Star is old and sick and needs help. She asks him to come as fast as he can. She says, "Please, please, speed, speed, speed!"
+
+Tommy and his grandma wait for the veterinarian. They stay with Star and talk to her and stroke her. They tell her that they love her and that the veterinarian will make her feel better. They hope that Star will be okay.
+
+Soon, they hear a car coming. It is the veterinarian. He has a big bag with tools and medicines. He gets out of the car and runs to Star. He says hello to Tommy and his grandma and says, "Don't worry, I'm here to help Star. She is a good horse and a good friend. I will do my best to make her well."
+
+He examines Star and gives her some shots and some pills. He tells Tommy and his grandma what is wrong with Star and what he is doing to help her. He says that Star has a fever and a pain in her belly. He says that she needs to rest and drink water and eat soft food. He says that he will come back tomorrow to check on her.
+
+He smiles and says, "You are very lucky to have Star. She is a very old and very wise horse. She has a lot of love and a lot of stories. You should listen to her and learn from her. She is a very special horse."

+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to bake. They baked cakes, pies, and cookies with their mom. They also liked to share their treats with their friends and neighbors.
+
+One day, they decided to bake heart-shaped cookies for Valentine's Day. They mixed the dough, cut out the hearts, and put them in the oven. They were very excited to see how they would turn out.
+
+"Mom, can we decorate the cookies with icing and sprinkles?" Tim asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but we have to wait until they are cool," Mom said.
+
+They waited and waited, but the oven did not beep. They smelled something bad. They ran to the kitchen and saw smoke coming out of the oven.
+
+"Oh no, our cookies are burned!" Kim cried.
+
+Mom opened the oven and took out the tray. The cookies were black and hard. They looked nothing like hearts.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids, the oven must have broken. It was too hot and it burned your cookies," Mom said.
+
+Tim and Kim felt very sad. They had worked so hard to bake the cookies, and now they had nothing to give to their friends and neighbors. They felt like their hearts were burned too.
+
+They hugged Mom and each other, and tried not to cry. They wished they had a mighty oven that could bake perfect cookies. But they did not. They only had a broken oven and a bad day.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Anna invites Ben to her house for tea. Ben is happy and says yes.

+
+"Ben, what are you doing?" Anna asks. She is angry. She wants Ben to stay and play with her. She does not like books. She thinks they are boring.
+
+"I want to see this book," Ben says. He thinks the book is interesting. It has many pictures and words. He wants to learn what they mean.
+
+"No, Ben, come back!" Anna says. She pulls Ben's arm. She wants him to sit down and have tea with her.
+
+"Let go of me, Anna!" Ben says. He pushes Anna away. He wants to see the book.
+
+Anna and Ben start to fight. They yell and cry. They make a mess. They knock over the table and spill the tea and cookies. They are not friends anymore.
+
+Anna's mom hears the noise. She comes back to the room. She sees Anna and Ben fighting. She sees the tea and cookies on the floor. She is not happy. She is very angry.
+
+She tells Anna and Ben to stop fighting. She tells them to say sorry to each other. She tells them to clean up the mess. She tells them to go home.

+Lily saw Tom and screamed. She ran to Mom and Dad and said, "Tom is a trash monster! He is smelly and dirty and scary!" Mom and Dad saw Tom and gasped. They ran to Tom and took off the trash from him. They said, "Tom, what are you doing? You are not a trash monster! You are a boy! You need to be clean and neat and nice!"
+
+They took Tom to the bathroom and washed him with soap and water. They threw away the trash and closed the lid. They said, "Tom, you should never play with trash. It is bad for you and the environment. It can make you sick and hurt the animals and plants. You should always put trash in the trash can and recycle what you can."
+
+Tom felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I was just curious. I won't play with trash again. I love you and the park and the flowers and the birds and the trees." Mom and Dad hugged Tom and said, "We love you too, Tom. But please, don't be a trash monster again." Tom nodded and smiled. He learned his lesson. He was happy to be a boy.

+
+"Now we are both snowmen!" Mia says. She smiles and claps her hands again.
+
+They play with the carrots for a while. Then they see the cucumbers. The cucumbers are long and flexible. Ben and Mia have an idea.
+
+"Let's make a cucumber necklace!" Ben says. He bends a cucumber and puts it around his neck.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you look cool!" Mia says. She claps her hands and admires his necklace.
+
+"Thank you, Mia. Do you want one too?" Ben says. He bends another cucumber and puts it around Mia's neck.
+
+"Yes, please, Ben. Thank you!" Mia says. She claps her hands and hugs him.
+
+They play with the cucumbers for a while. Then they see the tomatoes. The tomatoes are red and round. Ben and Mia have another idea.
+
+"Let's make a tomato ball!" Ben says. He picks up a tomato and throws it to Mia.
+
+"OK, Ben. Catch!" Mia says. She catches the tomato and throws it back to Ben.

+
+"Tom, you be the dad and I be the mom," Sara said. "We are marry now."
+
+"OK, Sara, we are marry," Tom said. "But what do we do now?"

+Anna loved to design things. She liked to draw, cut, glue and paint. She made cards, hats, dolls and more. She was very good at it.
+
+One day, she wanted to design a special gift for her mom. She found a big jar and some paper. She thought, "I will make a jam jar with a pretty label. Mom loves jam. She will be happy."
+
+She went to the kitchen and looked for jam. She saw a red jar and a purple jar. She liked both colors. She opened the red jar and smelled it. It was strawberry jam. She opened the purple jar and smelled it. It was grape jam. She liked both smells. She could not decide which one to use.
+
+She heard her brother Tom coming. He was older and liked to tease her. He saw the jars and said, "What are you doing, Anna? Are you going to eat all the jam? You are greedy and silly."
+
+Anna felt angry and sad. She said, "No, Tom. I am not greedy and silly. I am designing a gift for mom. I want to use one of the jars, but I don't know which one. Can you help me?"
+
+Tom looked at the jars and said, "Hmm, let me see. I think you should use the purple jar. It is bigger and nicer. The red jar is small and boring. Give it to me. I will eat it."
+
+He reached for the red jar, but Anna held it tight. She said, "No, Tom. You can't have it. It is mine. I want to use it. I like the red jar. It is not boring. It is sweet and yummy."
+
+They both pulled the jar and started to fight. The jar slipped from their hands and fell to the floor. It broke and the jam spilled everywhere. They both gasped and stopped fighting. They looked at the mess and felt sorry.
+
+They heard their mom coming. They were scared. They knew they were in trouble. They said, "Oh no, mom is here. What will we do?"
+
+They looked at each other and decided to tell the truth. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We broke the jar and wasted the jam. We were fighting over it. We wanted to design a gift for you, but we could not agree. We were bad."
+
+Mom saw the jar, the jam and their faces. She was not happy, but she was not angry either. She said, "Oh, Anna and Tom. I appreciate that you wanted to design a gift for me, but you should not fight over things. You should share and help each other. You should be loyal and kind. That is the best gift you can give me."
+
+She hugged them and said, "Now, let's clean up this mess and have some toast with the other jar of jam. And maybe later, you can design something else for me, together."
+
+Anna and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We are sorry. We love you. We will be loyal and kind."
+
+They cleaned up the mess and had some toast with the grape jam. They liked it. They also liked each other. They decided to design a card for mom, with both red and purple colors. They wrote, "We are sorry. We love you. We are loyal and kind." Mom smiled and said, "Thank you. I love you too. You are loyal and kind." She put the card on the fridge and gave them a kiss. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw images of their family, their pets and their toys. Ben drew a big image of his dog, Spot, and Lily drew a small image of her cat, Fluffy.
+
+"Look at my image, Lily. Spot is big and strong and he can run fast and bark loud. He is the best dog ever," Ben said, showing his image to Lily.
+
+"Look at my image, Ben. Fluffy is small and soft and she can purr and climb and catch mice. She is the best cat ever," Lily said, showing her image to Ben.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other's images. They were curious about the other's pet. They wanted to know more about them.
+
+"Can I touch your image, Lily? I want to feel how soft Fluffy is," Ben asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't make Fluffy dirty or tear her," Lily said.
+
+"Can I touch your image, Ben? I want to feel how big Spot is," Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't make Spot angry or bite him," Ben said.
+
+Ben and Lily reached for each other's images. But they did not care enough. They were too rough and clumsy. Ben smudged Fluffy's fur with his crayon. Lily ripped Spot's ear with her nail.
+
+"Hey, you ruined my image, Ben! You made Fluffy look ugly and dirty. You are mean," Lily cried.
+
+"Hey, you ruined my image, Lily! You made Spot look hurt and sad. You are mean," Ben cried.
+
+Ben and Lily started to argue and fight. They threw their crayons and paper at each other. They did not want to play with each other anymore.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the tears and the angry faces.
+
+"What happened here, Ben and Lily? Why are you fighting? Why did you ruin your images?" Mom asked.
+
+Ben and Lily told Mom what they did. They blamed each other for being mean and careless.
+
+Mom shook her head and sighed. She picked up the images and showed them to Ben and Lily.
+
+"Look at these images, Ben and Lily. They are not just images. They are your pets. They are your friends. They are part of your family. You should care about them and respect them. You should not hurt them or make them look bad. You should be kind and gentle with them. And you should be kind and gentle with each other, too. You are brother and sister. You should love each other and play nicely. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at their images and felt sorry. They looked at each other and felt sorry, too. They nodded and said they understood.
+
+"Can we say sorry to each other, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Can we hug each other, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom smiled and nodded. She gave them a hug, too.
+
+"Of course you can, Ben and Lily. That's what caring means. That's what family means. Now, why don't you make new images of your pets and of each other? And this time, be careful and curious and kind," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily agreed. They took new crayons and paper and started to draw. They drew images of Spot and Fluffy and of Ben and Lily. They drew them with happy faces and bright colors. They showed them to each other and to Mom. They said nice things about them. They said they loved them.
+
+Mom was proud and happy. She hung the images on the wall. She said they were the best images ever.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the river. They had a raft that their dad made for them. It was big and strong and had a sail. They enjoyed sailing on the raft and looking at the fish and the birds.
+
+One day, they saw something floating in the water. It was a big fish, but it was not moving. It had a hole in its side and blood around it. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know what had hurt the fish.
+
+"Look, Lily, a dead fish!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe a shark bit it," Lily said.
+
+"Or a crocodile," Tom said.
+
+They wanted to get away from the dead fish. They tried to turn the raft, but the wind was too strong. It pushed them closer and closer to the fish. They screamed for help.
+
+Their dad heard them and ran to the river. He had a rope and a stick. He threw the rope to Tom and Lily and told them to hold on. He used the stick to push the dead fish away. He pulled the raft to the shore.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, dad, thank you," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged their dad and told him what they had seen. He said it was probably a fisherman who had caught the fish and left it behind. He said they should not go near dead things in the water. He said they should always be careful on the raft.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were glad their dad was there. They still enjoyed sailing on the raft, but they stayed away from the dead fish.

+
+"Can you lend me your ball, Ben?" Sam asks.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit," Ben says. He gives the ball to Sam.
+
+Sam is happy. He kicks the ball hard. The ball flies in the air. It lands on the pitch. The pitch is green and soft.
+
+Sam runs to get the ball. He wants to kick it again. But Ben runs after him. He wants his ball back.
+
+"Give me my ball, Sam!" Ben says.
+
+"No, I want to play more!" Sam says.
+
+They both reach the ball. They pull and tug. The ball does not move.
+
+"Stop it, Sam! It is my ball!" Ben says.
+
+"Stop it, Ben! You said I can play!" Sam says.
+
+They are both angry. They are both persistent. They do not listen to each other.

+A lady sees them. She is walking her dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. The lady is kind and wise.
+
+"Boys, boys, what is the matter?" she asks.
+
+They tell her about the ball. They both want it.
+
+The lady smiles. She has an idea.
+
+"Why don't you share the ball?" she says. "You can take turns to kick it. Or you can play together. It is more fun that way."
+
+Ben and Sam think about it. They look at the ball. They look at each other.
+
+They nod. They agree.

+"Come on, Ben, let's try the slide. It looks fun!" Anna says.
+
+"No, Anna, it is too high. I don't want to try. I want to play with the swings." Ben says.
+
+Anna is sad. She wants to play with Ben, but she also wants to try the slide. She thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea.
+
+"Ben, how about we try the slide together? I will hold your hand, and we will go very slow. Then we can play with the swings. What do you say?" Anna says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He is still scared, but he also wants to make Anna happy. He nods his head.
+
+"OK, Anna, we can try the slide together. But you have to hold my hand, and we have to go very slow." Ben says.
+
+Anna smiles. She takes Ben's hand, and they walk to the slide. They climb the steps, and sit on the slide. Anna counts to three, and they slide down. They go very slow, and they laugh. They reach the bottom, and they hug.
+

+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises like vroom and beep when they play.
+
+One day, they decide to race their cars. They find a long and smooth road in the park. They line up their cars at one end of the road. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars as hard as they can.
+
+The cars zoom along the road. Some cars are fast and some are slow. Sam and Ben cheer for their cars. They want to see which car will reach the other end first.
+
+But then, a bald man walks on the road. He does not see the cars. He steps on some of them and makes them crash. He says, "Ouch!" and "Sorry!" Sam and Ben are sad and angry. They run to their cars and pick them up. They look at the bald man and say, "Hey, you broke our cars! You are mean!"
+
+The bald man feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, kids. I didn't mean to break your cars. I was not looking where I was going. Can I help you fix them?" Sam and Ben think for a moment. They see that the bald man is sorry. They say, "OK, you can help us. But next time, watch out for our cars. They are our favorite play things." The bald man nods and smiles. He helps Sam and Ben fix their cars. They say, "Thank you." They decide to race their cars again. But this time, they make sure that the road is clear. They have fun and forget their anger.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big duck near the pond. Lily wants to feed the duck some bread. She takes out a photo of her and Ben from her pocket. She shows it to the duck and says, "Look, this is me and my brother. We are friends. Do you want to be our friend too?"
+
+The duck does not care about the photo. It only wants the bread. It snaps at Lily's hand and takes the photo. It tears it with its beak and spits it out. Lily is very sad. She cries and says, "No, no, no! Give me back my photo! That was a gift from Mommy!"

+But the duck is faster and stronger than Ben. It bites Ben's arm and makes him drop the stick. Ben screams and bleeds. He falls to the ground and cries. Lily runs to Ben and hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
+
+The duck quacks and swims away. It does not care about Lily and Ben. It only cares about the bread. Lily and Ben are hurt and scared. They have no photo and no bread. They have no friend. They have a bad day.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big ball of yarn in the closet. They want to make something with it.
+
+"Let's make a scarf for Mommy," Anna says.
+
+"OK, but how?" Ben asks.
+
+Anna remembers that Grandma showed her how to make a stitch with a needle and yarn. She finds a needle in the sewing box and shows Ben how to do it.
+
+"Look, you put the needle through the yarn like this, and then pull it back. That's a stitch," Anna says.
+
+Ben tries to do the same, but he finds it hard. His fingers are not very good at holding the needle. He slips and pokes his finger.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cries. "It hurts!"
+
+Anna drops the needle and runs to Ben. She sees a drop of blood on his finger.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, are you OK?" Anna asks.

+She hugs him and kisses his finger. She looks for a band-aid in the bathroom and puts it on his finger.
+
+"There, that's better," Anna says.
+
+Ben smiles and hugs her back.
+
+"Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister," Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben go back to the closet. They see the ball of yarn and the needle on the floor.
+
+"Maybe we should try something different," Anna says.
+
+"Like what?" Ben asks.
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She has an idea.
+
+"Let's make a cat!" Anna says.
+
+"A cat? How?" Ben asks.
+
+Anna picks up the yarn and the needle. She shows Ben how to make a ball of yarn for the cat's body, and then how to make a smaller ball for the head. She uses the needle to attach them together. She finds some buttons for the eyes and nose, and some ribbon for the whiskers and tail. She sews them on the cat.
+
+"Look, we made a cat!" Anna says.
+
+Ben looks at the cat. He thinks it is very cute. He touches it gently with his finger.
+
+"It's soft and fuzzy," Ben says.
+
+He picks up the cat and cuddles it.
+

+
+Anna nods and smiles.
+
+"Sure, we can keep it. It's our cat. What should we name it?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea.
+
+"Let's name it Stitch," Ben says.
+
+Anna likes the name. She thinks it is different and funny.
+
+"Stitch. I like it. Hello, Stitch," Anna says.
+
+They both pet the cat and say hello to it. They are happy. They made something different and fun with the yarn. They also learned how to make a stitch. They decide to show their cat to Mommy and Grandma. They think they will like it too.
+Lila was a gifted girl who loved to draw. She had many crayons of different colors, but her favorite was silver. She liked to draw stars and moons and shiny things with her silver crayon. One day, she went to the park with her mom and brought her crayons with her.
+
+She saw a big tree with a swing and ran to play on it. She left her crayons on a bench nearby. She was having fun swinging high and low, when she heard a loud bark. She looked and saw a big dog running towards her crayons. The dog looked hungry and mean. Lila was scared. She jumped off the swing and ran to the bench. But she was too late. The dog grabbed her silver crayon in his mouth and ran away.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help!" Lila cried. "The dog took my silver crayon!"
+
+Her mom heard her and came to her side. She hugged her and said, "Don't worry, sweetie, we'll get it back. Maybe the dog will drop it somewhere."
+
+They looked around the park, but they could not find the dog or the crayon. Lila was sad. She felt like she lost her best friend. She wished she could draw with her silver crayon again.
+
+Then, she saw a boy walking towards them. He had a red cap and a blue shirt. He was holding something in his hand. It was her silver crayon!
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben," the boy said. "I saw the dog run away with your crayon. I followed him and rescued it from him. He was not very nice. He tried to bite me. But I was faster. Here, this is yours."
+
+He gave her the crayon and smiled. Lila was so happy. She could not believe it. She took the crayon and thanked him.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said. "You are very brave and kind. You are my hero. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Sure, I'd love to be your friend. Do you want to play with me? I have some toys in my backpack. We can share them."
+
+Lila smiled and said, "Yes, let's play. I have some crayons too. We can draw together. I'll show you how to draw stars and moons and shiny things with my silver crayon."
+
+They went to a shady spot under the tree and played. They drew and talked and laughed. They had a lot of fun. Lila was glad she met Ben. He was a gifted boy who loved to draw. He had many toys of different shapes, but his favorite was a red car. He liked to make it zoom and beep and spin. He shared it with Lila. She liked it too.
+
+They became good friends. They played every day at the park. They always brought their crayons and toys. They always used their silver crayon and red car. They were happy. They had each other. They had a gift.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to look at the stars at night. They had a big window in their room that showed them the dark sky and the bright dots. Sometimes they saw a moon or a plane, but they wanted to see something more.
+
+One night, their dad told them that a comet was coming. A comet was a big rock with a long tail that flew very fast in the sky. He said they could see it if they woke up very early, before the sun came up.
+
+Ben and Lily were very excited. They wanted to see the comet very much. They went to bed early and set their alarm clock. But when the alarm clock rang, only Ben woke up. He tried to wake up Lily, but she was too sleepy.
+
+"Come on, Lily, wake up! The comet is here!" Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben, let me sleep. I'm tired. The comet is not here," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is! Look at the window! It's so big and bright and beautiful! You have to see it!" Ben said.
+
+He pulled Lily out of bed and dragged her to the window. Lily rubbed her eyes and looked at the sky. She saw the comet and gasped. It was like a giant star with a long, shiny hair. It was moving slowly across the sky, leaving a trail of light behind it.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you were right! The comet is here! It's amazing!" Lily said.
+
+"I told you! Aren't you glad we woke up?" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, I am! Thank you, Ben, for waking me up. I'm sorry I was grumpy. Can we watch the comet together?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course we can! Let's watch it until it goes away. Maybe we can make a wish on it. What do you wish for, Lily?" Ben said.
+
+"I wish for... I wish for... I wish for more comets!" Lily said.
+
+"Me too, Lily, me too!" Ben said.
+
+They hugged each other and watched the comet until it faded away. They were very happy and glad they saw it. They went back to bed and dreamed of comets and stars.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. But today it was raining. Lily and Ben were sad.
+
+"Can we still go to the park?" Lily asked her mom.
+
+"Maybe later, when the rain stops," her mom said. "But you have to promise me to stay inside and be good."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They promised to be good. They played with their toys and read some books. But they were bored.
+
+"Let's go to the park anyway," Ben whispered to Lily. "We can take an umbrella and no one will see us."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to go to the park, but she also wanted to keep her promise. She looked at Ben's big eyes and smiled.
+
+"Okay, let's go," she said. "But we have to be quick and careful."
+
+They grabbed an umbrella and sneaked out of the door. They ran to the park and had fun. They jumped in the puddles and slid on the slide. They laughed and sang.
+
+But they did not see Lily's mom coming. She was looking for them. She was angry. She saw them in the park and shouted.
+
+"Lily! Ben! What are you doing here? You broke your promise! You are in big trouble!"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped playing. They felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They dropped the umbrella and ran to Lily's mom. They hugged her and said sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Lily said. "We just wanted to play in the park. We won't do it again."
+
+Lily's mom sighed. She was still angry, but she also loved them. She hugged them back and said.
+
+"I know you wanted to play, but you have to listen to me. It's not safe to go out in the rain. You could get sick or hurt. And you have to keep your promises. That's how you show respect and trust."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They said sorry again and promised to be good. They went back home with Lily's mom. They had some hot chocolate and cookies. They learned their lesson. They were still best friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They found a shiny crown on a bench. Lily wanted to wear it and pretend to be a queen. Ben wanted to play with it and make it spin.
+
+"Let me have it!" Lily said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben said. "I saw it first!"
+
+They pulled and tugged at the crown. They did not want to share. They did not want to include each other.
+
+Suddenly, the crown slipped from their hands and rolled away. It went down a hill and into a pond. Lily and Ben ran after it, but they were too late. The crown sank into the water and they could not see it anymore.
+
+They felt sad and angry. They blamed each other for losing the crown. They did not want to play together anymore. They sat on the grass and pouted.
+
+A duck came out of the pond. It had the crown on its head. It looked happy and proud. It quacked and waddled around. It showed off its crown to the other ducks.
+
+Lily and Ben watched the duck. They felt silly and sorry. They realized that the crown was not important. They had been greedy and selfish. They had lost a fun toy and a good friend.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They said they were sorry and hugged. They decided to play with the duck and the other ducks. They asked the duck if they could include it in their game. The duck nodded and quacked.
+
+They had a lot of fun. They learned to share and include. They learned that friendship is more valuable than a crown.
+Lila was a spoiled girl who liked to mark on the walls with her crayons. She did not care if her mom and dad got angry or sad. She thought it was fun to make the walls colorful and messy.
+
+One day, she found a new crayon in her toy box. It was shiny and silver. She wanted to try it on the wall. She ran to the living room and started to mark on the white wall. She made big circles and stars and hearts.
+
+But the crayon was not a crayon. It was a nail. And it was very sharp. When Lila pressed it on the wall, it hurt her hand. She felt a lot of pain. She dropped the nail and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she screamed.
+
+Her mom and dad heard her cry and came to the living room. They saw the blood on her hand and the marks on the wall. They were shocked and worried.
+
+"What happened, Lila?" her mom asked.
+
+"I marked on the wall with a crayon, but it was a nail and it hurt me!" Lila sobbed.
+
+Her dad picked her up and hugged her. He took her to the bathroom and cleaned her wound. He put a band-aid on it and kissed it.
+
+Her mom looked at the wall and sighed. She was angry and sad. She took the nail and threw it in the trash.
+
+"Lila, you should not mark on the walls with anything. It is bad and rude. And you should not play with things that are not toys. They can be dangerous and hurt you. Do you understand?" her mom said.
+
+Lila nodded. She felt sorry and ashamed. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't mark on the walls again. And I won't play with nails again. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lila. But you are still a spoiled girl. You need to learn to behave and listen. Now go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Lila went to her room and lay on her bed. She looked at her band-aid and felt pain. She wished she had not marked on the wall with the nail. She wished she had been a good girl.
+Sara was very happy when she got a new doll for her birthday. She named her doll Lily and hugged her tight. Lily had long hair, a pretty dress and shiny shoes. Sara wanted to play with Lily all day.
+
+But when Sara tried to carry Lily to the living room, she felt that Lily was very heavy. She wondered why Lily was so heavy. She asked her mom, "Mom, why is Lily heavy?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Lily is heavy because she is a special doll. She can talk and sing and move her eyes. She has a battery inside her that makes her do those things. Do you want to see?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please!"
+
+Mom showed Sara how to turn on Lily's switch and how to press her hand. Lily said, "Hello, Sara! I'm your new friend. Do you want to play with me?" Sara was amazed and happy. She said, "Yes, Lily! I want to play with you!"
+
+Sara and Lily played together for a long time. They sang songs, told stories and had a tea party. Sara didn't mind that Lily was heavy anymore. She loved her new doll very much.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they would quarrel over their toys or food. One day, they were having lunch with their mom. Mom gave them each a plate of pasta and a fork.
+
+Lily wanted to eat her pasta fast, so she grabbed a big forkful and put it in her mouth. Max saw her and wanted to do the same. He reached for his fork, but it was too far away. He saw Lily's fork on her plate and tried to take it.
+
+"Hey, that's my fork!" Lily shouted. She pulled her fork back and glared at Max.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Max yelled. He tried to grab the fork again and spilled some pasta on the table.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Max quarreling over the fork and the mess they made. She was not happy.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. "You have your own forks. Share and be nice to each other. Or no dessert for you!"
+
+Lily and Max looked at Mom and felt sorry. They knew they were wrong. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They picked up their forks and ate their pasta quietly. They were alert and did not quarrel again. They wanted to have dessert. Mom smiled and gave them each a cookie. They thanked Mom and hugged her. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they see a big truck on the street. The truck has many boxes and bags. A man is taking them out of the truck.
+
+"Wow, look at that truck!" Ben says. "I want to have a job like that. It looks fun and exciting."
+
+Anna shakes her head. "I don't think so. That job is hard and tiring. I want to have a job like my mom. She is a teacher. She helps children learn and grow. That is a good and important job."
+
+Ben and Anna go to the man. They say hello and ask him what he is doing. The man smiles and tells them he is a delivery man. He brings things to people who need them. He says he likes his job, but it is not easy. He has to drive a long way, carry heavy things, and deal with traffic and weather. He says he wishes he had a job like their mom. He says being a teacher is a great and noble job.
+
+Ben and Anna are surprised. They thank the man and say goodbye. They go back to their house. They think about what the man said. They realize that every job has its own challenges and rewards. They decide that they will not judge a job by how it looks. They will respect and appreciate all the people who work hard and do their best. They will also try to find a job that they love and that makes a difference. They hug each other and smile. They are happy to be friends.
+Anna loves music. She likes to sing and dance and play with her toy piano. But one day, her piano stops making sounds. She presses the keys, but nothing happens. She feels sad and angry.
+
+She runs to her mom and says, "Mom, my piano is broken! It does not make music! Can you fix it?"
+
+Mom looks at the piano and sees that the batteries are empty. She says, "Don't worry, Anna. I can fix it. I just need to get new batteries from the store. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Anna nods and smiles. She puts on her white coat and her pink hat. She holds Mom's hand and they go to the store. Mom buys new batteries and puts them in the piano. She turns it on and says, "There, Anna. Try it now."
+
+Anna presses the keys and hears music. She is happy and claps her hands. She says, "Thank you, Mom! You fixed it! You are the best!" She hugs Mom and starts to play her favorite song. Mom sings along and dances with her. They have fun and laugh. Anna loves music and Mom.
+Tom and Lily were playing with clay. They liked to make different shapes and animals with the clay. They used their hands and tools to work the clay and feel its texture. It was soft and smooth and sticky.
+
+"Look, I made a snake!" Tom said, showing Lily his long and thin clay snake. He had made eyes and a tongue for it.
+
+"That's nice, Tom. But I made a better snake!" Lily said, holding up her clay snake. It was shorter and fatter than Tom's, and it had scales and teeth.
+
+"No, mine is better! Yours is too fat and ugly!" Tom said, feeling angry.
+
+"No, yours is too thin and boring!" Lily said, feeling angry too.
+
+They started to argue and pull each other's snakes. They wanted to prove that their snake was the best. But they pulled too hard and their snakes broke into pieces. They both felt sad and sorry.
+
+"Hey, I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to break your snake. It was nice." Lily said, looking at the clay bits.
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Lily. I didn't mean to break your snake. It was nice, too." Tom said, looking at the other clay bits.
+
+They hugged and said they were still friends. Then they had an idea. They decided to use the clay bits to make a new snake together. They mixed the bits and made a long and fat snake with eyes, tongue, scales and teeth. It was a very colorful and funny snake.
+
+"Wow, this is the best snake ever!" Tom said, smiling.
+
+"Yes, it is! And we made it together!" Lily said, smiling too.
+
+They were very happy and proud of their snake. They showed it to their mom, who was cooking in the kitchen. She smiled and said it was a wonderful snake. She gave them some cookies to eat. They were spicy cookies with cinnamon and ginger. Tom and Lily liked them a lot. They thanked their mom and shared their cookies with their snake. They had a great time.
+Anna loved to ride her bike. She liked to go fast and feel the wind in her hair. She had a red bike with a bell and a basket. She always wore her helmet and followed the rules.
+
+One day, she saw a big hill near her house. She wanted to ride down the hill and see how fast she could go. She thought it would be fun and exciting. She did not tell her mom or dad where she was going. She just got on her bike and rode away.
+
+She reached the top of the hill and looked down. It was very steep and long. She felt a little anxious, but she also felt brave. She rang her bell and started to pedal. She went faster and faster. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiled and shouted, "Whee!"
+
+But then, she saw a car coming from the other side of the road. It was very big and loud. It was coming right at her. She tried to stop, but she could not. She tried to steer, but she could not. She was in trouble. She screamed, "Help!"
+
+The car driver saw her and slammed on the brakes. He honked his horn and swerved to avoid her. He barely missed her, but he hit a tree. He got out of his car and ran to her. He was angry and scared. He said, "What are you doing? You could have been hurt! You could have hurt me! Where are your parents? You should not ride your bike on this hill!"
+
+Anna was crying and shaking. She was sorry and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, mister. I just wanted to ride fast. I didn't see you. I didn't mean to cause trouble. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+The car driver calmed down and hugged her. He said, "It's okay, little girl. I'm glad you're not hurt. But you have to be careful. Riding fast is not worth risking your life. And you have to tell your parents where you are going. They must be worried sick. Come on, let's call them and get you home."
+
+He took her to his car and called her mom and dad. They came right away and thanked him for saving her. They were relieved and angry. They said, "Anna, we're so happy you're safe. But you can't do that again. You can't ride your bike without telling us. You can't ride on that hill. You could have been killed. You're in big trouble, young lady. You're grounded for a week. No bike, no TV, no candy. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom. Yes, dad. I'm sorry. I learned my lesson. I won't ride fast again. I love you."
+
+They hugged her and said, "We love you too. But you have to be more responsible. Now let's go home and talk about this more."
+
+They got in their car and drove away. Anna looked at her bike and felt sad. She loved to ride her bike. But she also loved her mom and dad. And she did not want to cause trouble again. She decided to listen to them and be more careful. She hoped they would forgive her and let her ride her bike again soon.
+Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They saw a big basket of muffins on the table. The muffins smelled good. They had chocolate and blueberries and nuts.
+
+"Can we have a muffin, please?" Lily asked Mom.
+
+"Sure, you can have one each. But first, you have to help me gather some things. We are going to the park with your friends. We need to pack some toys and snacks and water," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked the park. They ran to their rooms and gathered some things. Lily brought her doll and her ball. Ben brought his truck and his book. They put them in a big bag. Then they helped Mom gather some snacks and water. They put them in another bag.
+
+They were ready to go. They took a muffin each and bit into them. They were soft and sweet and yummy. They smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom!"
+
+They went outside and got in the car. Mom drove them to the park. They saw their friends waiting for them. They waved and said, "Hi!"
+
+They had a lot of fun at the park. They played with their toys and their friends. They shared their snacks and water. They saw some birds and squirrels and flowers. They also saw a big dog. The dog was fierce. It barked and growled and chased them. They were scared and ran away. They hid behind Mom.
+
+"Shoo, shoo, go away!" Mom said to the dog. She picked up a stick and threw it. The dog ran after the stick. It left them alone.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged Mom. They were glad she was there. They said, "We love you, Mom!"
+
+Mom hugged them back. She said, "I love you too, my sweeties. You are brave and kind and smart. And you have good taste in muffins!"
+Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made a maze with snow walls. They liked to run and hide in the maze.
+
+"Let's see who can find the way out first!" Lila said.
+
+"OK, but you have to be fair. No peeking!" Ben said.
+
+They both ran into the maze. Lila turned left and right, looking for the exit. Ben followed her, but he got lost. He could not see Lila or the snowman.
+
+"Lila, where are you?" Ben shouted.
+
+"I'm here, Ben! I found the way out!" Lila shouted back.
+
+Ben tried to follow her voice, but he was too late. The sun was shining and the snow was melting. The maze was falling apart. The snowman was losing his hat and his scarf.
+
+"Help, Lila! The maze is melting!" Ben cried.
+
+Lila ran back to the maze. She saw Ben trapped by the snow walls. She grabbed his hand and pulled him out.
+
+"Are you OK, Ben?" Lila asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm OK. Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend." Ben said.
+
+They hugged and looked at the snowman. He was very small and sad.
+
+"Bye, snowman. We will miss you." Lila and Ben said.
+
+They went inside to have some hot chocolate. They decided to play something else tomorrow.
+Lily and Tom went to the park with Mom. They saw a band playing music. The band had drums, guitars, and horns. Lily and Tom liked the music. They clapped their hands and danced.
+
+"Look, Mom, they are so good!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, they are, honey. Do you want to go closer?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, yes, please!" Tom said.
+
+They walked to the front of the band. They saw a man with a big hat and a shiny coat. He was the leader of the band. He waved his stick and told the band what to do.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Do you like our music?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. We love your music!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+"Thank you. You are very kind. Do you want to try playing an instrument?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, yes, please!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+The leader gave Lily a small drum and Tom a horn. He showed them how to play. Lily and Tom tried to play along with the band. They made loud and funny sounds. The band laughed and clapped for them.
+
+"Wow, you are very good. You are natural musicians!" the leader said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt happy and proud. They thanked the leader and the band. They gave back the drum and the horn.
+
+"Bye, bye, band. Thank you for the music!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+"Bye, bye, little ones. Thank you for playing with us!" the band said.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged Mom and walked back to the car. They had a lot of fun at the park. They did not think the music was dull at all. They thought it was wonderful.
+Tim and Lily were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish, crabs and shells. But they did not see any shrimp.
+
+"Mom, where are the shrimp?" Tim asked. "I want to see them. They are small and pink and tasty."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Shrimp are not easy to see, Tim. They hide under the rocks and in the seaweed. Sometimes they swim very fast. You have to look very hard to find them."
+
+Tim and Lily decided to look for shrimp. They put on their goggles and snorkels and went into the water. They looked under the rocks and in the seaweed. They saw many fish, but no shrimp.
+
+"Maybe they are scared of us," Lily said. "Maybe they think we are big and scary."
+
+"Maybe," Tim said. "But I want to see them. Let's swim a little farther."
+
+They swam a little farther, until they reached a big rock. They saw something pink and shiny behind the rock. They thought it was a shrimp.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a shrimp!" Tim said. He swam closer to the rock and reached out his hand.
+
+But it was not a shrimp. It was a lobster. A big, red lobster with big claws. The lobster saw Tim's hand and snapped at it.
+
+"Ow!" Tim cried. He pulled back his hand and swam away. The lobster chased him.
+
+"Help, Lily, help!" Tim shouted. He was very scared.
+
+Lily saw the lobster and was scared too. She swam after Tim and tried to help him. She saw a stick on the sand and picked it up. She waved it at the lobster and shouted, "Go away, go away, you are not a shrimp, you are a mean lobster!"
+
+The lobster saw the stick and was scared too. It stopped chasing Tim and swam away. Tim and Lily swam back to the shore. They were safe.
+
+Mom and dad saw them and ran to them. They hugged them and asked them what happened.
+
+"We saw a shrimp, but it was not a shrimp, it was a lobster," Tim said. "It bit me and chased me. It was very scary."
+
+Mom and dad looked at Tim's hand. It had a small cut, but it was not bad. They put a band-aid on it and kissed it.
+
+"You are very brave, Tim," mom said. "And you too, Lily. You helped your brother. You are a good sister."
+
+Tim and Lily smiled. They were happy. They remembered the lobster, but they were not scared anymore. They learned something new. They learned that shrimp and lobsters are different. They learned that lobsters are big and mean, and shrimp are small and tasty. They learned that they should be careful in the water. And they learned that they could help each other. They were a good team.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park near the pond. They liked to watch the ducks, the fish and the otter. The otter was very funny. He liked to swim, dive and slide on the rocks.
+
+One day, Tim and Sam went to the park with their moms. They saw the otter on the shore. He was holding a big fish in his mouth. He looked very happy.
+
+"Wow, look at the otter!" Tim said. "He has a big fish!"
+
+"Can we go and say hello to him?" Sam asked.
+
+Their moms nodded. They walked slowly to the otter. They did not want to scare him.
+
+"Hello, otter!" Tim said. "You have a big fish!"
+
+The otter looked at them. He smiled and nodded. He put the fish down and came closer to them. He sniffed their hands and feet. He tickled them with his whiskers. He made a funny noise.
+
+"He likes us!" Sam said. "He is very friendly!"
+
+The otter nodded again. He picked up the fish and offered it to them. He wanted to share his fish.
+
+"Thank you, otter!" Tim said. "But we are not hungry. You can have the fish."
+
+The otter sighed. He did not understand why they did not want the fish. He thought the fish was very tasty. He shrugged and ate the fish by himself. He licked his lips and smiled.
+
+"That was incredible!" Sam said. "The otter shared his fish with us!"
+
+"Yes, that was incredible!" Tim agreed. "The otter is very nice!"
+
+They waved goodbye to the otter. The otter waved back. He slid into the water and swam away. He was happy to have met Tim and Sam. They were happy to have met the otter. They were best friends.
+Lily was making a cake with Mom. She liked to help Mom in the kitchen. She could stir the batter, crack the eggs, and lick the spoon. Mom gave her a teaspoon to measure the vanilla. Lily was careful not to spill it.
+
+But then she heard a loud noise outside. It sounded like a big truck. Lily was afraid of big trucks. They made her ears hurt and her heart beat fast. She dropped the teaspoon and ran to the window. She wanted to see what was making the noise.
+
+Mom followed her and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's just the snowplow. It's clearing the road for us. It's not scary, it's helpful." She pointed to the white snow that covered the ground. "Look, Lily, it's winter. The snow is beautiful. Do you want to go outside and play?"
+
+Lily looked at the snow. It was sparkling and fluffy. She wondered how it felt. She nodded and smiled. She liked to play outside. She forgot about the big truck. She ran to get her coat and boots.
+
+Mom helped her get dressed. She said, "You need to wear warm clothes, Lily. The snow is very cold. It can freeze your fingers and toes. Do you know what freeze means?" Lily shook her head. She didn't know. Mom explained, "Freeze means to become hard and stiff, like ice. When water freezes, it turns into ice. When snow falls, it's frozen water. If you touch it, it feels cold and hard."
+
+Lily was curious. She wanted to touch the snow. She wanted to see if it was hard and cold. She followed Mom outside. She saw the snowplow drive away. It left a big pile of snow on the side of the road. Lily ran to the pile and reached out her hand. She felt the snow. It was cold and hard. She squeezed it and made a ball. She threw it at Mom. Mom laughed and threw one back. Lily giggled and ran to make another one. She was not afraid or anxious anymore. She was having fun. She liked the snow. She liked to freeze.
+Lisa loved puzzles. She had many puzzles in her room. She liked to get a new puzzle every week. She would open the box and look at the picture. Then she would try to put the pieces together.
+
+One day, Lisa got a very big puzzle. It had many pieces and many colors. It was a picture of a farm with animals and plants. Lisa was very happy. She wanted to start the puzzle right away. She opened the box and poured the pieces on the floor.
+
+"Wow, this puzzle is hard!" Lisa said. "But I can do it. I like a challenge."
+
+She picked up a piece and looked for another piece that matched. She found one and snapped them together. She smiled. She did the same with another piece and another. She was making progress.
+
+But then she saw something that made her sad. One of the pieces was missing. It was a piece of the cow's face. Lisa looked everywhere. She looked under the sofa, under the table, under the bed. She could not find the piece.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, I can't find the piece!" Lisa cried. "My puzzle is ruined!"
+
+Mommy came to Lisa's room. She saw the puzzle and the missing piece. She hugged Lisa and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. We will find the piece. Maybe it fell out of the box. Maybe it is in the kitchen or the bathroom. Let's look together."
+
+Mommy and Lisa searched the house. They looked in every room, every drawer, every closet. They could not find the piece.
+
+Lisa was very sad. She felt like giving up. She said, "Mommy, I think the piece is gone forever. I will never finish my puzzle."
+
+Mommy said, "Don't say that, Lisa. You are a compassionate girl. You care about your puzzle and the cow. Maybe someone else found the piece and took it. Maybe they need it more than you. Maybe they have a puzzle of their own that is missing a piece. Maybe they are happy now because they can complete their puzzle."
+
+Lisa thought about what Mommy said. She felt a little better. She said, "Maybe you are right, Mommy. Maybe someone else has the piece. Maybe they are happy. I hope they are. I hope they like puzzles as much as I do."
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, Lisa. You are a compassionate girl. You know how to share and be happy for others. I'm proud of you."
+
+Lisa hugged Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best. I love you."
+
+Mommy said, "I love you too, Lisa. And I have a surprise for you. Look what I found in the car."
+
+Mommy showed Lisa the missing piece. It was the cow's face. It had fallen out of the box when they brought the puzzle home. Lisa was overjoyed. She said, "Mommy, you found the piece! You are amazing! Now I can finish my puzzle!"
+
+Mommy said, "Yes, you can. And I will help you. Let's go to your room and put the piece in its place."
+
+Lisa and Mommy went to Lisa's room. They put the piece in the puzzle. The puzzle was complete. It was a beautiful picture of a farm with animals and plants. Lisa and Mommy admired the puzzle. They were very happy. They had fun. They had a compassionate moment.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pit near their house. It was gray and deep and had many rocks and dirt. They wanted to see what was inside, so they went closer.
+
+"Look, Sam, there is a hole in the pit. Maybe there is something fun in there," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe, but it looks dark and scary. I don't want to go in," Sam said.
+
+"Come on, don't be a baby. I will go first and you follow me," Tom said. He jumped into the hole and disappeared.
+
+Sam was afraid, but he did not want to be alone. He jumped into the hole too. He landed on something soft and warm. It was a big gray bear. The bear was sleeping in the pit. It woke up when it felt the boys on its back. It was angry and hungry. It roared and showed its teeth.
+
+"Help, help, it is a bear!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Run, run, we have to get out!" Sam shouted.
+
+They tried to climb out of the hole, but it was too high and slippery. The bear was faster and stronger. It grabbed Tom by his leg and pulled him back. It was going to eat him.
+
+"Please, please, don't eat me, Mr. Bear. I am sorry for waking you up. I have some bread in my pocket. You can have it. Please let me go," Tom begged.
+
+The bear looked at the bread and sniffed it. It was hungry, but it was also kind. It did not want to hurt the boys. It let go of Tom and took the bread. It ate it and licked its lips. It nodded at Tom and Sam and moved away. It made a sound that meant "go".
+
+Tom and Sam did not wait. They ran out of the hole and out of the pit. They were safe, but they were also sorry. They learned a lesson. They should not go into places they do not know. They should not bother animals that are sleeping. They should be careful and listen to each other. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They went back to their house and told their mom what happened. She was glad they were okay, but she was also mad. She told them to never do that again. They said yes, mom, and they meant it. They never went near the pit again. They played with their toys and their friends. They were happy and good.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam want to make a big tower with all the blocks. They start to add blocks to the tower, one by one. They want to see how high they can make it. They are happy and excited.
+
+But then, they run out of blocks. They look around and see that there are no more blocks left. They are sad and frustrated. They want to add more blocks to the tower, but they can't.
+
+"Where are the other blocks?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone took them," Sam says.
+
+They look at each other and think. They remember that they have a post in the corner of the room. The post is tall and strong and has a hook on the top. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's use the post!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, let's use the post!" Sam agrees.
+
+They run to the post and take it. They bring it to the tower and try to put it on the top. They think that the post will make the tower taller and better.
+
+But they are wrong. The post is too heavy and big for the tower. The tower can't hold the post. The tower falls down and breaks. The blocks scatter everywhere. Tom and Sam are shocked and scared.
+
+They hear a loud voice. It is their teacher. She is angry and disappointed.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asks. "Why did you take the post? The post is not a toy. The post is for hanging coats and hats. You broke the tower and made a mess. You are not good friends. You are selfish and greedy. You need to learn to share and be happy with what you have."
+
+Tom and Sam feel ashamed and sorry. They realize that they made a mistake. They should not have taken the post. They should have been happy with the blocks. They should have shared and cooperated with each other.
+
+They apologize to their teacher and to each other. They help to clean up the mess and to fix the tower. They promise to be better friends and to respect the things that belong to others.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn that adding more things is not always good. They learn that being happy with what they have is more important. They learn that sharing and cooperating with others is more fun. They learn that the post is not a toy.
+Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play together. They had a big box of toys that they shared. One day, they decided to build a church with their blocks. They wanted to make it incredible, with a tall tower and a big door.
+
+But they had a problem. They did not have enough blocks to finish their church. They looked around and saw that Ben, another friend, had a lot of blocks. They asked him if they could borrow some of his blocks. But Ben said no. He said he needed all his blocks for his own project. He did not want to share.
+
+Lily and Sam were sad and angry. They thought Ben was mean and selfish. They wanted to succeed in building their church. They did not want to give up. They had an idea. They waited until Ben went to get a drink of water. Then they sneaked over to his pile of blocks and took some of them. They ran back to their church and added them to their tower and door.
+
+They were happy and proud. They had succeeded in building their incredible church. They admired their work and smiled at each other. They did not notice that Ben had come back and saw what they had done. He was shocked and furious. He shouted at them and told them to give back his blocks. He said they were thieves and liars. He pushed their church and made it fall down.
+
+Lily and Sam were scared and sorry. They realized they had done something wrong. They had hurt Ben and his project. They had broken their church and their friendship. They cried and apologized to Ben. They said they would never do it again. They asked him if they could still be friends.
+
+Ben was still angry and hurt. But he also felt sorry for them. He saw that they were sincere and regretful. He decided to forgive them and give them another chance. He said they could still be friends, but they had to learn to share and respect. He said they could rebuild their church together, with his blocks and theirs. He said they could make it even more incredible than before.
+
+Lily and Sam were relieved and grateful. They thanked Ben and hugged him. They said they would share and respect him and his blocks. They said they would help him with his project too. They started to rebuild their church together, with more blocks and more fun. They learned a lesson and became better friends. They were happy and hopeful.

+
+She went outside with the chalk and saw her friend Tim. "Tim, let's learn to draw with this chalk!" Lisa said. Tim was excited and said, "Yes, let's do it!"

+
+One day, Tom had a quarrel with a little bird named Sally. Sally wanted to sing while Tom played his guitar. But Tom wanted to play alone.

+Bob crawled over to the man and said, "Hello, I like your game. Can I play too?" The man smiled and said, "Sure, but you need a stick to hit the ball." Bob didn't have a stick, but he had a reliable friend named Tim. Tim was a strong ant who could carry many things.

+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big picture of a jungle on the wall. The picture has many animals and plants.
+
+"Look, Tom, a jungle!" Lily says. "Do you want to play jungle?"
+
+"Yes, Lily, let's play jungle!" Tom says. They run to the picture and pretend to be animals.
+
+Tom is a lion. He roars and chases Lily. Lily is a monkey. She jumps and swings from a branch. They have fun and make noises.
+
+But then, a man comes. He is angry. He says the picture is his. He says he painted it for a show. He says Tom and Lily are bad. He says they ruined his picture.
+
+"Go away, you little brats!" the man says. "You scratched my jungle! You made it dirty! You owe me money!"
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They do not have money. They do not want to pay. They do not think they did anything wrong.
+
+"Please, mister, we are sorry," Lily says. "We did not mean to hurt your picture. We just wanted to play."
+
+"Yeah, mister, we are sorry," Tom says. "We did not know it was yours. We just liked your jungle."
+
+The man does not listen. He is still angry. He grabs Tom and Lily by the arms. He says he will take them to the police.
+
+But then, a woman comes. She is nice. She says she is the man's wife. She says she saw everything. She says Tom and Lily are not bad. She says they are just kids. She says they were joking.
+
+"Please, honey, calm down," the woman says. "They were not trying to ruin your picture. They were just joking. They were using their imagination. They were having fun."
+
+The man looks at the woman. He looks at Tom and Lily. He looks at his picture. He sees that it is not so bad. He sees that it is still beautiful. He sees that Tom and Lily are poor. He feels sorry.
+
+"Maybe you are right, dear," the man says. "Maybe I overreacted. Maybe they were just joking. Maybe I should not be so mad."
+
+He lets go of Tom and Lily. He says he is sorry. He says he will not take them to the police. He says he will fix his picture. He says he will let them play.
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They say they are sorry too. They say they will be careful. They say they like his picture. They say they want to see his show.

+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with blocks and make towers. One day, they have a big fight. Anna wants to use all the red blocks, and Ben wants to use all the blue blocks. They do not want to share.
+
+"Give me the red blocks!" Anna demands. She pulls the blocks from Ben's hands.
+
+"No, give me the blue blocks!" Ben demands. He pushes Anna away.
+
+They start to cry and yell. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks and the twins on the floor.
+
+"Anna and Ben, what are you doing?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+"Anna took my blocks!" Ben says.
+
+"Ben took my blocks!" Anna says.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She has an idea. She gets a tape measure and a marker. She draws a line on the floor with the marker. She puts the tape measure on the line.
+
+"Look, twins," Mom says. "This is the middle of the room. You can each have half of the room and half of the blocks. Anna, you can have the red blocks on this side. Ben, you can have the blue blocks on that side. Can you do that?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at the line and the blocks. They nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug. They start to build towers on their own sides. They are happy.
+
+Mom smiles. She is glad they stopped fighting. She goes back to her work. She hopes they will stay calm.
+
+But soon, Anna and Ben get restless. They finish their towers. They want to do something else. They look at each other. They have a new idea. They pick up their blocks and run to Mom.
+
+"Mom, Mom, look at our towers!" they say. "Can we measure them? Which one is taller?"
+
+Mom laughs. She puts down her work. She gets the tape measure and the marker. She measures the towers and marks them.
+
+"Wow, twins, you did a great job!" Mom says. "Your towers are almost the same height. Anna's tower is 25 inches tall. Ben's tower is 24 inches tall. You are both very good at building."
+
+Anna and Ben clap. They are proud of their towers. They thank Mom. They hug her.
+
+"Can we build more towers?" they ask.
+
+"Sure, you can," Mom says. "But this time, can you share the blocks and work together?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They agree. They take the blocks and go back to the floor. They start to build more towers. They use red and blue blocks. They help each other. They have fun.
+
+Mom watches them. She is happy. She thinks they learned a lesson. She hopes they will keep playing nicely.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big bunch of grapes on the vine. They liked grapes very much. They ran to the grapes and picked some.
+
+"Yum, yum, these grapes are sweet and juicy," Lily said.
+
+"Let's eat more," Tom said.
+
+They ate and ate until their tummies were full. Then they heard a loud voice.
+
+"Who is eating my grapes?" the voice said. It was the farmer. He was angry.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the grapes and ran away.
+
+"Stop, stop, you naughty children," the farmer said. He chased them with a stick.
+
+Lily and Tom ran as fast as they could. They reached the fence and climbed over it. They ran to their house and hid under the bed.
+
+They were safe, but they felt sorry. They ate too many grapes and made the farmer mad.
+
+"Next time, we will ask before we take," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, and we will say sorry to the farmer," Tom said.
+
+They hugged each other and fell asleep.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with a zigzag path. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's race to the top!" Tom said. He was fast and strong and liked to win.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. She was kind and smart and liked to have fun.
+
+They started to run up the hill, but the path was not easy. It had rocks and holes and branches. Tom ran very fast, but he did not look where he was going. He tripped on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and his elbow and his face.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He was sad and angry and in pain.
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry and stopped running. She ran back to help him. She saw his wounds and felt sorry for him.
+
+"Are you OK, Tom?" Lily asked. She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+"No, I'm not OK!" Tom said. He was still sad and angry and in pain. "I wanted to win the race and see the other side of the hill, but now I can't!"
+
+Lily looked at the hill and saw that it was very high and steep. She also saw that the sky was getting dark and cloudy. She thought that it was not a good idea to go to the other side of the hill.
+
+"Tom, I don't think we should go to the other side of the hill," Lily said. "It is too high and too hard and too far. And look, it is going to rain soon. We should go back home and get some help for your wounds."
+
+Tom looked at the hill and the sky and his sister. He realized that she was right. He also realized that she was nice and helpful and caring. He felt sorry for being mean and selfish and foolish.
+
+"You're right, Lily," Tom said. "We should go back home and get some help. And I'm sorry for being mean and selfish and foolish. You are a good sister and a good friend. Thank you for helping me."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She was happy and proud and loving.
+
+"You're welcome, Tom," Lily said. "You are a good brother and a good friend too. And you know what? You did win something today. You gained a lesson and a hug and a kiss."
+
+They held hands and walked back home, feeling better and wiser and closer.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful, be kind, and be grateful.
+Ben and Lily were going to visit their grandma and grandpa. They were very happy because they loved their grandma and grandpa very much. They also loved their dog, Spot, who was going with them.
+
+"Ben, Lily, come here. It is time to pack your bags," their mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily ran to their mom. They had a big bag each. They put their clothes, their toys, their books and their snacks in their bags. They also put a blanket and a pillow for Spot.
+
+"Mom, can we take some meat for Spot?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. There is some meat in the fridge. You can take some for Spot. He will be hungry on the way," their mom said.
+
+Ben opened the fridge and took some meat. He wrapped it in a paper and put it in his bag.
+
+"Spot, we have some meat for you. You will like it," Lily said.
+
+Spot wagged his tail and licked Lily's face. He was a good dog.
+
+"Okay, kids, we are ready to go. Let's put your bags in the car. Dad is waiting for us," their mom said.
+
+Ben, Lily and Spot followed their mom to the car. They put their bags in the trunk and got in the car. They buckled their seat belts and said goodbye to their house.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. It will take some time. But don't worry, we will be safe and have fun," their mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily looked out the window and saw the trees, the birds, the cows and the horses. They sang songs and played games. Spot lay on the floor and slept. He dreamed of the meat in Ben's bag. They were all happy and excited to see their grandma and grandpa.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to zoom them on the grass and make noises. Lily has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They are having fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can zoom faster than you!" Ben says. He pushes his car hard and it goes very far.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your car is so fast!" Lily says. She tries to catch up with her car, but it is slower.
+
+They see a big shiny car parked on the street. It is their neighbor's car. It is new and has many buttons and lights. They run to see it.
+
+"Wow, wow, wow!" they say together. "This car is so pretty and big!"
+
+Their neighbor comes out of his house. He sees them looking at his car. He smiles. He is a nice man. He likes children.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Ben. Do you like my car?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" they say. "It is the best car ever!"
+
+"Thank you. It is a very special car. It has a lot of value. Do you know what value means?" he asks.
+
+They shake their heads. They do not know.
+
+"Value means that something is very important and good. It is not only about how much money it costs, but also how much it makes you happy and helps you. For example, your toy cars have value, because they make you happy and help you learn and play. Do you understand?" he explains.
+
+They nod. They think they understand.
+
+"That is very smart. You are very charming children. Do you want to see inside my car?" he offers.
+
+They clap their hands. They are very excited.
+
+"Yes, please, please, please!" they say.
+
+He opens the door and lets them in. They see the seats, the steering wheel, the buttons, the lights. They are amazed.
+
+They thank him and he lets them play for a while. They pretend to zoom and drive. They are very happy.
+
+They have learned a new word today: value. They think that their neighbor's car has value, but so do their toy cars, and their friendship. They zoom back to the garden and continue playing. They are very charming.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play games. One day, they found a big book with many pictures of mazes. A maze is a place with many paths and walls, where you have to find the way out. Lily and Tom wanted to try the mazes in the book.
+
+They took a pencil and started to draw on the first page. They followed the lines with their eyes and tried to find the exit. Sometimes they made a mistake and had to rub the pencil with an eraser. Rubbing is when you move something hard on something soft to make it go away.
+
+"Look, I found it!" Lily said, pointing to a hole in the corner of the page. "I am out of the maze!"
+
+"Good job, Lily!" Tom said. "But I am still stuck. Can you help me?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom's page and saw that he was in a very hard maze. It had many twists and turns and dead ends. She tried to help him, but she also got confused.
+
+"Maybe we should look at the answer in the back of the book," she suggested.
+
+Tom nodded and they flipped the pages until they reached the end. There they saw a picture of a famous man with a big smile and a funny hair. He was holding a sign that said: "I made these mazes. Did you enjoy them? My name is David."
+
+Lily and Tom were amazed. They had never seen this man before, but he looked very smart and happy. They wondered how he could make such fun and tricky mazes.
+
+They decided to write him a letter and say thank you. They also asked him if he could make more mazes for them. They hoped he would answer and send them more books. They loved playing with mazes.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to create something yummy for their mom. They saw a big bowl of cream on the counter.
+
+"Let's whip the cream!" Tom said. He grabbed a whisk and started to stir the cream fast.
+
+Lily nodded. She climbed on a chair and got some sugar and vanilla from the shelf. She poured some sugar and vanilla into the bowl.
+
+"Whip, whip, whip!" they chanted, as they made the cream fluffy and sweet.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. They stopped whipping and looked at each other.
+
+"Who is it?" Lily asked.
+
+They ran to the door and opened it. They saw a tall man with a big smile and a bunch of balloons. He was wearing a red nose and a funny hat.
+
+"Hello, kids! I'm Bobo the clown! I'm here to make you laugh and have fun!" he said.
+
+Tom and Lily gasped. They loved clowns. They invited Bobo in and showed him their whipped cream.
+
+"Wow, you made this? That's amazing!" Bobo said. He took a spoon and tasted the whipped cream. He made a funny face and spat it out.
+
+"Yuck! This is too sweet! You need some salt!" he said.
+
+He reached for the salt shaker and poured some salt into the bowl. He stirred it and tasted it again.
+
+"Mmm, much better!" he said. He took another spoon and flung it at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Splat!" The whipped cream hit them on their faces. They laughed and flung some back at Bobo.
+
+Soon, the kitchen was a mess of whipped cream and laughter. They had a lot of fun with Bobo the clown. They forgot about their mom until they heard her voice.
+
+"Kids, I'm home! What's going on in here?" she asked.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other and smiled. They had a surprise for their mom. They ran to her and gave her a big hug.
+
+"Mom, we made you something yummy!" they said.
+
+They took her to the kitchen and showed her the bowl of whipped cream.
+
+"Surprise!" they said.
+
+Mom looked at the bowl and then at their faces. She saw the salt shaker and the clown. She smiled and shook her head.
+
+"You kids are so creative!" she said. She kissed them and thanked them for their gift.
+
+She took a spoon and tasted the whipped cream. She made a funny face and spat it out.
+
+"Yuck! This is too salty! You need some sugar!" she said.
+
+Tom and Lily giggled. They knew what to do. They grabbed some sugar and poured some into the bowl. They stirred it and tasted it again.
+
+"Mmm, perfect!" they said.
+
+They took another spoon and flung it at Mom.
+
+"Splat!" The whipped cream hit her on her face. She laughed and flung some back at them.
+
+Bobo the clown joined them and they had a whipped cream fight. They had a lot of fun and a lot of yummy whipped cream. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the sand. They had a spade and a bucket. They wanted to make a big castle.
+
+"Look, I made a tall tower!" Tom said. He used the spade to dig and pile up the sand.
+
+"Wow, that's very good!" Lily said. She used the bucket to make a round wall.
+
+They worked hard and had fun. They made a big castle with many towers and walls.
+
+But then they saw a big cloud. It was dark and angry. It made a loud noise.
+
+"Oh no, it's going to rain!" Tom said. He was scared. He did not want the rain to ruin their castle.
+
+"Don't worry, I have an idea!" Lily said. She ran to their mom and dad. They were sitting on a blanket. Lily asked them for something.
+
+She came back with a big umbrella. She opened it and put it over their castle.
+
+"Look, now our castle is safe!" Lily said. She smiled. She used the umbrella to cover their castle.
+
+"Thank you, Lily! You are very smart!" Tom said. He hugged her. He was happy.
+
+They waited for the rain to stop. They looked at their castle. It was still big and beautiful. They were proud.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben wanted to play with the doll too.
+
+"Can I have the doll?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said.
+
+"Please, just for a little bit?" Ben begged.
+
+"No, go away!" Lily shouted.
+
+She grabbed the doll and ran to her room. She shut the door behind her and hid the doll under her bed. She felt angry and sad.
+
+Ben followed her and knocked on the door.
+
+"Lily, open the door! I'm sorry, I just wanted to play with you!" Ben said.
+
+Lily did not answer. She hugged the doll and cried.
+
+Ben felt sorry too. He did not want to fight with his sister. He wanted to make her happy.
+
+He went to the kitchen and found a cookie. He broke it in half and took one piece. He went back to Lily's door and slid the other piece under it.
+
+"Lily, I have a cookie for you. It's your favorite. I love you, Lily. Can we be friends again?" Ben said.
+
+Lily heard Ben's gentle voice and saw the cookie. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She wiped her tears and opened the door.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. I love you too. I'm sorry I was mean to you. Do you want to play with the doll?" Lily said.
+
+Ben smiled and hugged her.
+
+"Yes, thank you, Lily. And you can play with my car. Let's share our toys and have fun!" Ben said.
+
+They went back to the living room and played together. They were happy and kind to each other.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with their blocks and books. They pretend to drive their cars to different places.
+
+One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. They ask their mom if they can use it. Their mom says yes, but they have to be careful. They drag the box to their room and cut a hole on each end. They make a tunnel for their cars.
+
+They take turns driving their cars through the tunnel. They make noises like vroom and beep. They have fun imagining where they are going. Sometimes they go to the park, sometimes to the zoo, sometimes to the beach.
+
+But then, something hairy pops out of the tunnel. It is their cat, Fluffy. Fluffy likes to play with their cars too. He chases them and bats them with his paws. He makes noises like meow and hiss. He thinks he is a car too.
+
+Lily and Ben are surprised and scared at first. But then they laugh and pet Fluffy. They decide to let him join their game. They drive their cars with Fluffy in the tunnel. They have more fun than before. They love their cars and their cat.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the park. It has a zip on it. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben says. He pulls the zip.
+
+"Wait!" Lily says. "Maybe it is not ours. Maybe someone is looking for it."
+
+Ben does not listen. He opens the box. He sees a lot of shiny things. He takes a necklace and puts it on his neck.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" he says. "It is so nice!"
+
+Lily feels sad. She thinks it is wrong to take things that are not yours. She says to Ben, "We should put it back. It is not nice to take things that are not yours. Maybe someone will be sad if they lose it."
+
+Ben does not care. He likes the shiny things. He says to Lily, "No, I want to keep it. It is mine now. You can have something too. Here, take this ring."
+
+Lily shakes her head. She does not want to take anything. She says to Ben, "No, thank you. I do not want to take anything. I want to be a good friend. A good friend does not take things that are not theirs. A good friend is honest and kind."
+
+Ben gets angry. He says to Lily, "You are not my friend. You are a baby. You are no fun. Go away!"
+
+Lily feels hurt. She runs away. She cries.
+
+A man comes to the park. He sees the box. He sees Ben. He says to Ben, "Hey, kid, what are you doing with my box? That is my box. I left it here for a minute. Those are my things. Give them back to me!"
+
+Ben feels scared. He does not know what to say. He tries to guess. He says, "I... I... I found it. It was here. It was open. I... I... I thought it was a gift."
+
+The man does not believe him. He says, "You are lying. You are a thief. You took my things. You are in trouble. I will call the police."

+Ria was a little girl who liked to play outside. She liked to run, jump, and climb trees. She did not like to bathe. She said bathing was boring and cold. She wanted to stay dirty and have fun.
+
+One day, she saw a big black bird on a branch. It was a raven. The raven had shiny feathers and a sharp beak. Ria wanted to touch the raven. She climbed the tree and reached out her hand.
+
+"Hello, raven," she said. "You are so pretty. Can I pet you?"
+
+The raven looked at Ria and said, "No, you cannot. You are dirty and smelly. You do not bathe. You make me uncomfortable. Go away."
+
+Ria was sad and angry. She did not like the raven's words. She said, "You are mean and rude. I do not care if you are pretty. I will grab you and make you my friend."
+
+She tried to catch the raven, but the raven was fast and smart. The raven flew away and pecked Ria's hand. Ria screamed and fell from the tree. She hurt her hand and her leg. She cried and cried.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to help her. She saw Ria's wounds and dirt. She said, "Oh, Ria, what happened? You are hurt and dirty. You need to bathe and get a bandage."
+
+Ria said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to pet the raven, but the raven was mean and pecked me. It was my fault. I did not bathe. I was dirty and smelly. I made the raven uncomfortable."
+
+Her mom said, "I'm sorry, too, Ria. The raven was not nice, but you should not have bothered it. You should respect animals and their space. You should also bathe and stay clean. Bathing is good for you. It makes you healthy and happy. It also makes others comfortable around you. Come on, let's go home and bathe."
+
+Ria nodded and hugged her mom. She learned her lesson. She decided to bathe every day and not chase ravens.
+
+The moral of the story is: Bathing is important for your health and happiness. Respect animals and their space. Do not be rude or greedy.

It is wet and torn. "Tom, this is not good. You cannot chew on your teddy bear. It is not food. It is your friend. You have to be nice to your friend. And you have to take care of your things. They are important. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom feels sad and sorry. He did not mean to hurt his teddy bear. He did not know it was important. He nods his head and says, "I understand, mom. I am sorry. I will not chew on my teddy bear again. Can I have it back, please?"
+
+Mom smiles and hugs him. She gives him back his teddy bear and says, "Yes, you can have it back. But you have to promise me that you will only chew on food from now on. And you have to brush your teeth every night. That is important too. OK?"

+
+But the girl did not want his soap. She was scared and annoyed. She said, "No, I don't want your soap. Leave me alone. You are bothering me and my dog."

+But Tom does not listen. He pulls the box and opens it. He sees a lot of shiny things. He is happy. He grabs a necklace and puts it on.
+
+"Look, Anna, I am a king!" he says.
+
+Anna is angry. She thinks the necklace is not for Tom. She thinks the box is for someone else. She thinks Tom is bad.
+
+"Give it back, Tom!" she says. She tries to take the necklace from him.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He pushes Anna away.
+
+They fight over the necklace. They pull and tug and shout. They do not see the man who comes to the yard. He is the owner of the box. He is mad.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my stuff?" he says. He takes the box and the necklace from Tom and Anna. He scolds them. He tells them to go away.
+
+Tom and Anna are sad. They are sorry. They did not mean to make the man mad. They did not mean to hurt each other.
+
+They hug and say sorry. They kiss and make up. They decide to play with their own toys and books. They are friends again.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They wear warm coats and hats and gloves. They make a big snowman and have a snowball fight. They have fun.
+
+But then Tom feels cold. His coat is too tight. He cannot zip it up. He says to Anna, "I want to go home. My coat is tight. I need a new coat."
+
+Anna says, "Don't go home, Tom. We can share my coat. It is big and cozy. You can wear it and I can wear your hat and gloves. Then we can play some more."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He likes Anna's coat. It is red and soft. He says, "OK, Anna. Thank you. We can share your coat. But we have to return it later. It is your coat, not mine."
+
+Anna smiles. She likes Tom. He is kind and polite. She says, "You're welcome, Tom. We can return it later. It is my coat, but you are my friend. Friends share things."
+
+They take off their coats and swap them. Tom wears Anna's coat and Anna wears Tom's hat and gloves. They feel warm and happy. They hug the snowman and throw more snowballs. They laugh and play until it is time to go home. Then they return their coats and say goodbye. They are good friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big hive on a tree. It was full of bees. They wanted to see the bees better.
+
+"Let's go closer," Tom said.
+
+"No, it's dangerous," Lily said. "The bees can sting us."
+
+Tom did not listen. He took a stick and threw it at the hive. The stick hit the hive and made a hole. The bees came out and buzzed angrily.
+
+"Run!" Lily shouted.
+
+They ran away from the hive. But the bees followed them. They tried to hide behind a fence. But the bees found them. They stung Tom on his arm and Lily on her leg. It hurt a lot.
+
+They cried and ran to their house. Their mom saw them and was worried. She took them inside and put some ice on their stings.
+
+"Why did you go near the hive?" she asked.
+
+"Tom wanted to see the bees," Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Tom said. "I was curious."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay to be curious, but you have to be careful. Bees are unusual animals. They make honey, but they also protect their hive. They don't like it when someone bothers them. Next time, you can watch them from far away, or read a book about them."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They watched the ice melt on their stings and felt better. They said sorry to the bees and hoped they would fix their hive. They decided to play with something else in the garden.

+
+But when daddy comes home, he is not happy. He sees the motorcycle and gets very angry. He says Jack has ruined his modern motorcycle. He says it will cost a lot of money to restore it. He says Jack is a bad boy and sends him to his room.
+
+Jack feels very sad and sorry. He did not mean to make daddy angry. He only wanted to play with the motorcycle and make it happy. He cries in his room and wishes he could fix his mistake.
+
+The next day, daddy comes to Jack's room. He says he is sorry for being angry. He says he knows Jack loves the motorcycle and did not understand. He says he still loves Jack and wants to make him happy. He says he has a surprise for him.
+
+He takes Jack to the garage and shows him another motorcycle. It is smaller and older than daddy's motorcycle. Daddy says it is his old motorcycle, from when he was a boy. He says he has restored it and made it look new. He says he wants to give it to Jack and teach him how to ride it.
+
+Jack is very happy and excited. He hugs daddy and says thank you. He says he loves daddy and his old motorcycle. He says he does not need a modern motorcycle. He says he has the best motorcycle in the world.
+Sara was a spoiled girl. She always got what she wanted. She had many toys, clothes, and books. But she was not happy. She wanted more and more.
+
+One day, she saw a leather jacket in a shop window. It was shiny and black. She wanted it very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her. But her mom said no. She said it was too expensive and too big for her. She said Sara had enough jackets already.
+
+Sara was angry. She cried and screamed. She said she hated her mom. She ran away from her mom and into the shop. She grabbed the leather jacket and tried to put it on. But it was too heavy and stiff. She could not move her arms. She felt hot and itchy.

+
+But when they got there, they saw a lot of people waiting and looking unhappy. Their mum and dad talked to a lady who worked there. The lady said, "I'm sorry, but your aeroplane is delayed. There is a problem with the engine. You have to wait for another aeroplane."
+
+Mia and Sam did not like this. They wanted to fly now. They asked their mum and dad, "How long do we have to wait? When can we see grandma and grandpa?"
+
+Their mum and dad said, "We don't know, sweeties. Maybe an hour, maybe more. We have to be patient and wait for the lady to tell us. We can play some games or read some books while we wait. Grandma and grandpa will be happy to see us whenever we get there."
+
+Mia and Sam tried to be patient, but they were bored and tired. They played some games and read some books, but they still wanted to fly. They looked at the window and saw many aeroplanes.

We are coming to see you."
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a doll. Ben liked to make loud noises with his truck and drive it around the floor. Lily liked to dress up her doll and talk to it.
+
+"Look at my truck!" Ben said to Lily. "It can go fast and carry things. It is the best toy ever!"
+
+Lily did not care about Ben's truck. She wanted to show him her doll. She had a new dress for her doll and a pretty hat. She had an urge to display her doll to Ben and make him like it.
+
+"Look at my doll!" Lily said to Ben. "She has a new dress and a pretty hat. She is the best toy ever!"
+
+Ben did not care about Lily's doll. He thought dolls were boring and silly. He wanted to play with his truck and make more noises. He had an urge to drive his truck over Lily's doll and make her cry.
+
+"Move your doll!" Ben said to Lily. "She is in the way of my truck. I want to drive here!"
+
+Lily did not want to move her doll. She loved her doll and wanted to protect her. She had an urge to hug her doll and tell her she was sorry.
+
+"No, you move your truck!" Lily said to Ben. "You are being mean to my doll. She is not in the way. You are!"
+
+Ben and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and pulled their toys. They did not listen to each other. They did not share or take turns. They hurt each other's feelings.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Ben and Lily fighting over their toys. She was not happy. She had an urge to teach them a lesson.
+
+"Stop it, both of you!" Mom said to Ben and Lily. "You are being rude and selfish. You need to respect each other's toys and choices. You need to say sorry and make up."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at Mom. They knew they were wrong. They felt bad for hurting each other. They had an urge to be nice and friendly.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Ben said to Lily. "I was mean to your doll. She is a nice doll. Can I see her dress and hat?"
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Lily said to Ben. "I was mean to your truck. It is a cool truck. Can I hear it make noises?"
+
+Ben and Lily smiled at each other. They gave each other a hug. They showed each other their toys and played together. They were happy.
+
+Mom smiled too. She was proud of Ben and Lily. She had an urge to praise them and hug them.
+
+"Good job, Ben and Lily," Mom said to Ben and Lily. "You are being kind and polite. You are good siblings. I love you both."
+
+Ben and Lily said, "We love you too, Mom." They hugged Mom and thanked her. They were happy.
+Lily and her mom moved to a new house. Lily was worried. She did not know anyone here. She missed her old friends and her old room. She helped her mom unpack some boxes. She found her favorite clock. It was pink and had a bunny on it. It made a tick-tock sound.
+
+Lily put the clock on her nightstand. She hoped it would make her feel better. She hugged her mom and said good night. She tried to sleep, but she heard strange noises. She heard a creak, a thump, and a howl. She was scared. She wished she was back in her old house.
+
+She looked at her clock. It was almost midnight. She heard another howl. It sounded very close. She got out of bed and peeked out of the window. She saw a big, furry, scary wolf. It was looking right at her. It had sharp teeth and yellow eyes. It growled and jumped at the window.
+
+Lily screamed and ran to her mom's room. She banged on the door and cried for help. Her mom opened the door and hugged her. She asked her what was wrong. Lily told her about the wolf. Her mom looked out of the window. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. That's not a wolf. That's our new neighbor's dog. His name is Max. He's very friendly. He just wants to say hello."
+
+Lily looked again. She saw that the dog was wagging his tail and licking the window. He did not look scary anymore. He looked cute and funny. She felt silly and relieved. She said sorry to her mom for waking her up. Her mom said it was okay. She said they would meet Max and his owner tomorrow. She said they would make new friends here. She said they would be happy in their new house.
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She went back to her room. She looked at her clock. It was still tick-tocking. She felt calm and sleepy. She snuggled under her blanket and closed her eyes. She dreamed of bunnies and dogs and new adventures.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a coin. Lily wanted to pick it up.
+
+"Look, Ben, a coin! Can I have it?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, it is not yours. Someone else dropped it. Maybe they need it. We should leave it here."
+
+Lily did not listen. She was careless. She ran to the coin and picked it up. She put it in her pocket. She smiled.
+
+"Ha, ha, I have a coin. I can buy candy. You don't have anything," Lily said.
+
+Ben was sad. He did not like Lily's words. He did not want to play with her anymore. He walked away.
+
+Lily felt lonely. She looked at the coin. It was not fun. It did not make her happy. She wished she had Ben back. She was sorry.
+
+"Ben, Ben, wait! I am sorry. I was wrong. You can have the coin. I don't want it. I want to play with you," Lily called.
+
+Ben heard Lily. He turned around. He saw her face. She looked sad. He felt sorry too.
+
+"OK, Lily, I forgive you. But we should not keep the coin. We should give it back. Maybe we can find the person who lost it. Or we can give it to someone who needs it more. That would be nice," Ben said.
+
+Lily nodded. She took the coin out of her pocket. She gave it to Ben. They held hands. They looked for the person who lost the coin. They were happy. They were friends.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toy trains on the floor. They liked to imagine that they were real trains, going to different places and making loud noises. They had a big box that they used as a tunnel, and they took turns pushing their trains through it.
+
+"Choo-choo!" Ben said, as he pushed his red train into the box. "I'm going to the city!"
+
+"Choo-choo!" Lila said, as she pushed her blue train after him. "I'm going to the farm!"
+
+They pretended that they saw many things on their way, like cars, cows, trees, and bridges. They made their trains whistle and puff steam, and they waved to each other as they passed by.
+
+But then, something went wrong. Ben's train got stuck in the box. He tried to pull it out, but it was too tight. He started to cry.
+
+"Help! Help!" he shouted. "My train is stuck!"
+
+Lila heard him and came to see what was wrong. She saw his train in the box, and tried to help him. She pushed and pulled, but it was no use. The train was too tight.
+
+"Don't cry, Ben," she said. "We can fix it."
+
+She had an idea. She ran to the kitchen and got a cup of water. She came back and poured some water into the box, near the train.
+
+"Look, Ben," she said. "The water will make more steam, and the steam will make the box softer. Then we can get your train out."
+
+Ben stopped crying and watched. He saw the water turn into steam, and the steam fill the box. He felt the box get softer and looser. He pulled his train again, and this time, it came out.
+
+"Yay!" he said. "You did it, Lila! You saved my train!"
+
+He hugged his sister and thanked her. They were both happy. They decided to play with their trains some more, but they avoided the box. They didn't want to get stuck again. They imagined that they were going to new places, and they had fun.
+Tom and Lily were two children who lived in a big castle with their father, the king. The king was very kind and compassionate, and he loved his children very much. He always gave them nice toys, yummy food, and warm hugs.
+
+One day, the king had to go away for a long time to visit another land. He told Tom and Lily to be good and listen to their nanny, who would take care of them. He also gave them a big kiss and a present each. Tom got a wooden horse, and Lily got a doll.
+
+Tom and Lily were happy at first, but soon they started to miss their father. They also started to complain about everything. They complained that their toys were boring, that their food was yucky, and that their nanny was mean. They did not want to play, eat, or sleep. They only wanted their father to come back.
+
+One night, as they were lying in their beds, they heard a loud knock on the door. They jumped up and ran to see who it was. They hoped it was their father, but it was not. It was a poor man, who was shivering and hungry. He asked if he could stay in the castle for one night, and have some bread and water.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They remembered how their father always helped people who were in need, and how he taught them to be compassionate. They felt sorry for the poor man, and decided to share their toys, food, and bed with him. They also gave him a hug and told him not to be afraid.
+
+The poor man thanked them and smiled. He said he was very grateful for their kindness, and that they were very good children. He also said he had a secret to tell them. He was not really a poor man, but an angel in disguise. He had come to test their hearts, and see if they were worthy of their father's love. He said he was very pleased with them, and that he had a special gift for them. He waved his hand, and a bright light filled the room. When the light faded, Tom and Lily saw their father standing in front of them, with a big smile on his face.
+
+Tom and Lily were overjoyed. They ran to their father and hugged him. They told him they loved him, and that they were sorry for complaining. They also told him about the angel, and the gift he had given them.
+
+The king was very proud and happy. He hugged his children and the angel, and thanked them for their compassion. He said he had missed them very much, and that he had come back as soon as he could. He also said he had a surprise for them. He opened his bag, and took out two new toys. He gave Tom a shiny sword, and Lily a beautiful crown. He said they were his presents for them, and that they deserved them.
+
+Tom and Lily were amazed and delighted. They thanked their father and the angel, and played with their new toys. They also ate some cake and drank some milk. They felt very happy and blessed. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned to be grateful for what they had, and to be compassionate to others. They also learned that their father loved them very much, and that he was the best king in the world.
+Lila and Ben were twins who lived in a big house near a valley. They liked to play outside and see the animals and flowers. One day, they asked their mom if they could go to the valley and have a picnic.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the valley and have a picnic?" they requested.
+
+"Sure, you can go, but you have to be careful and stay together," their mom said. "I will pack some sandwiches and juice for you. And don't forget your hats and sunscreen."
+
+Lila and Ben were glad. They put on their hats and sunscreen and took the basket with the sandwiches and juice. They said goodbye to their mom and walked to the valley. They saw cows and sheep and birds and butterflies. They found a nice spot under a big tree and spread a blanket on the grass.
+
+"Let's eat our sandwiches and drink our juice," Lila said.
+
+"OK, but can I have your apple?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, you can't have my apple. You have your own orange," Lila said.
+
+"But I don't like oranges. I like apples," Ben said.
+
+"Well, I don't like oranges either. I like apples too," Lila said.
+
+They started to argue and tug at the apple. They did not see the big dog that came running towards them. The dog barked and jumped on them. He took the apple and ran away.
+
+"Hey, that's our apple!" Lila and Ben shouted.
+
+They were scared and sad. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had shared the apple and not fought. They decided to go back to their mom and tell her what happened.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry. We went to the valley and had a picnic, but we fought over the apple and a big dog took it," they said.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "It's OK, my loves. I'm glad you're safe and back home. Next time, you can share the apple and be nice to each other. And maybe you can make a new friend with the dog."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded and said, "We will, mom. We love you."
+
+They learned their lesson and were happy again. They ate some cookies and milk and played with their toys. They hoped to see the dog again and give him another apple.

+
+One day, Sara saw a little frog near the well. The well was old and deep, and Sara's mom had told her to stay away from it. But Sara was curious and wanted to see the frog. She walked closer and said, "Hello, frog. What are you doing here?"
+
+The frog looked at Sara and croaked, "I'm lost. I fell into the well and I can't get out. Can you help me?"
+
+Sara felt sorry for the frog. She knew how it felt to be lonely and scared. She said, "Don't worry, frog. I'll help you. Wait here, I'll get a rope."
+
+Sara ran to the shed and found a long rope. She tied one end to a tree and threw the other end into the well. She said, "Grab the rope, frog. I'll pull you up."
+
+The frog was happy and grateful. He grabbed the rope and held on tight. Sara pulled and pulled until the frog was out of the well. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind and brave. You saved my life."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "You're welcome, frog. I'm glad you're safe. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The frog nodded and said, "Yes, Sara. I would love to be your friend. You are very sweet and friendly. Can I play with you?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, frog. You can play with me. I have many toys and books. Come, let's go to the garden."
+
+Sara and the frog became good friends. They played and talked and laughed together. Sara was not lonely anymore. She had found a friend in the well.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park with their ball. One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was black and had a wide mouth. It looked angry and loud.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Tim said. He wanted to pet the dog. He ran to the dog with his ball.
+
+"Wait, Tim!" Sam said. He was scared of the dog. He followed Tim with his ball.
+
+The dog saw Tim and Sam. It did not like them. It growled and barked. It stared at them with its big eyes.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tim said. He threw his ball at the dog. The ball hit the dog's nose.
+
+The dog was more angry. It bit the ball. The ball popped. The dog spit out the ball. It tasted bitter.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" the dog said. It ran away from Tim and Sam.
+
+Tim and Sam were sad. They lost their ball. They went back to their mom.
+
+"Mom, a dog popped our ball!" Tim said.
+
+"Mom, the dog was mean and scary!" Sam said.
+
+Mom hugged Tim and Sam. She gave them a new ball. She said, "I'm sorry, boys. Some dogs are not nice. But you are brave and smart. You did well to stay away from the dog. Now, let's go home and have some cookies."
+Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big box of cars, trucks, trains and planes. He liked to make them zoom and crash and fly on the floor. He had a lot of fun with his toys.
+
+One day, Tom was playing with his toys when he felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to ignore it, but it got worse and worse. He knew he was going to sneeze. He looked around for a tissue, but he could not find one. He did not want to sneeze on his toys or on the floor. He did not know what to do.
+
+He saw his dad's belt hanging on a chair. He thought maybe he could use it to cover his nose and mouth. He ran to the chair and grabbed the belt. He wrapped it around his face and tried to hold it tight. He hoped it would stop his sneeze.
+
+But it did not work. The belt was too big and loose for his face. It slipped and slid and fell off. Tom felt a big sneeze coming out. He could not stop it. He sneezed so hard that he fell on the floor. He sneezed so loud that he scared his toys. He sneezed so much that he made a mess.
+
+Tom felt helpless. He did not like to sneeze. He did not like to make a mess. He did not like to scare his toys. He wished he had a tissue. He wished he had his mom or dad. He wished he could stop sneezing.
+
+He heard a voice. It was his mom. She came into the room and saw him on the floor. She saw the belt and the toys and the mess. She saw his red nose and his wet eyes. She knew he had sneezed a lot.
+
+She smiled and hugged him. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. It's okay to sneeze. Everyone sneezes sometimes. It's good to sneeze. It helps you get rid of the germs. Here, I have a tissue for you. Let me help you clean up."
+
+She gave him a tissue and helped him wipe his nose and mouth. She helped him pick up the belt and the toys and the mess. She helped him put them back in the box. She helped him feel better.
+
+Tom smiled and thanked her. He said, "I love you, mom. You are the best. You always help me. You always make me feel better."
+
+She said, "I love you too, Tom. You are my sweet boy. You always make me happy. Now, let's go and have some juice and cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "That sounds great, mom. Let's go."
+
+They held hands and walked out of the room. Tom felt happy. He did not sneeze anymore. He did not feel helpless anymore. He felt loved and cared for. He felt good.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big sack near the bench. It was green and dirty. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said. He ran to the sack and pulled the string.
+
+"Wait, Tom! It might be bad!" Lily said. She followed him and tried to stop him.
+
+But it was too late. Tom opened the sack and a lot of rags fell out. They were old and smelly and had holes. Tom and Lily were not happy. They wanted to find something fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud bark. A big dog came out of the bushes. It saw the rags and ran to them. It wanted to play with them. It grabbed one rag and shook it. It growled and wagged its tail.
+
+"Look, Lily! The dog likes the rags!" Tom said. He smiled and picked up another rag. He threw it to the dog. The dog chased it and brought it back.
+
+"Maybe the rags are not so bad, Tom. Maybe they are good for the dog." Lily said. She also threw a rag to the dog. The dog was happy and played with them.
+
+Tom and Lily forgot about the sack. They had fun with the dog and the rags. They learned that sometimes things that look bad can be good for someone else.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with trucks and cars. One day, they find a big truck in the yard. It has a lot of boxes in the back.
+
+"Let's load the truck!" Tom says. "We can pretend we are drivers."
+
+"OK!" Sam says. They climb on the truck and start to move the boxes. They have fun.
+
+But they do not see that the truck is not safe. It has a broken wheel and a loose brake. The truck starts to roll down the hill.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Sam scream. They try to stop the truck, but they can't. The truck goes faster and faster.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the yard. They see the truck going down the hill.
+
+"Tom! Sam! Stay on the truck!" Mom shouts. "We will save you!"
+
+But they are too late. The truck crashes into a big tree. The boxes fly everywhere. Tom and Sam are hurt.
+
+Mom and Dad cry. They hug Tom and Sam. They call for help.

+Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat some ice cream. They asked their mom if they could have some.
+
+"Sure, you can have some ice cream. But you have to share, okay?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They ran to the kitchen. They opened the freezer. They saw a lot of ice cream. There were many colors and flavors. They wanted to try them all.
+
+"Wow, look at all the ice cream! Mom has a big supply!" Lily said.
+
+"Yeah, she does! Which one do you want?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily pointed to a pink one. "I want this one. It has strawberries."
+
+Ben pointed to a brown one. "I want this one. It has chocolate."
+
+They took out the ice cream. They looked for spoons. They found two big spoons. They scooped some ice cream. They put it in their mouths.

+"Mmm, this is yummy!" Lily said.
+
+"Mmm, this is delicious!" Ben said.
+
+They ate some more ice cream. They smiled at each other. They were happy.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was the freezer. It was making a strange sound. It was shaking. It was spitting out ice.
+
+"Oh no, what's happening?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, something is wrong!" Ben said.
+
+They dropped their spoons. They ran to their mom. They told her what they saw.
+
+"Mom, mom, the freezer is broken! It's making a lot of noise and ice!" Lily said.
+
+"Mom, mom, the freezer is crazy! It's moving and throwing ice!" Ben said.
+
+Mom looked worried. She followed them to the kitchen. She saw the freezer. It was enormous. It was full of ice. It was still making noise and ice.
+
+"Oh dear, this is not good. The freezer is too cold. It's freezing everything inside. We have to turn it off and call someone to fix it." Mom said.
+
+She turned off the switch. She called the phone. She talked to someone. She said they would come soon.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They hugged their mom. They said they were sorry.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry. We didn't mean to break the freezer. We just wanted some ice cream." Lily said.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry. We didn't know the freezer was too cold. We just liked the ice cream." Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged them back. She said it was okay.
+
+"It's okay, my loves. You didn't break the freezer. It was old and needed to be replaced. You can still have some ice cream. But not too much, okay?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They thanked their mom. They took their ice cream. They ate it slowly. They enjoyed it.
+
+They hoped the freezer would be fixed soon. They hoped there would be more ice cream. They loved ice cream. And they loved their mom.
+Anna loved to bake with her mom. They would make cakes and cookies and pies for the family. Anna liked to mix the flour and the eggs and the sugar in a big bowl. She also liked to roll the dough and cut out shapes with the cookie cutters. Her mom would help her put the cookies on a tray and into the oven.
+
+One day, Anna saw a picture in a book of a gingerbread house. It had a roof of candy and windows of icing and a door of chocolate. Anna thought it was the most lovely thing she had ever seen. She asked her mom if they could bake a gingerbread house too. Her mom smiled and said yes, but they would need some special ingredients and tools. She said they would go to the store tomorrow and buy everything they needed.
+
+The next day, Anna and her mom went to the store and bought gingerbread mix, candy, icing, chocolate, and a gingerbread house kit. They came back home and started to bake. Anna helped her mom make the gingerbread dough and cut out the walls and the roof of the house. They baked them in the oven and let them cool. Then they used the icing to glue the pieces together and decorate the house with candy and chocolate. Anna was so happy and proud of their gingerbread house. She said it looked just like the picture in the book.
+
+Anna and her mom put the gingerbread house on the table and waited for dad and brother to come home. They wanted to surprise them with their lovely treat. But while they were waiting, something else happened. A little mouse came out of a hole in the wall and smelled the gingerbread house. He thought it smelled delicious and decided to take a bite. He nibbled on the roof and the walls and the door. He ate some of the candy and the chocolate and the icing. He did not notice that Anna and her mom were watching him with wide eyes.
+
+When dad and brother came home, they saw the gingerbread house on the table. But it was not a lovely gingerbread house anymore. It was a half-eaten mess of crumbs and candy. They asked Anna and her mom what happened. Anna and her mom pointed to the mouse, who was still munching on the gingerbread. The mouse saw them and ran away. Anna and her mom were sad and angry. They had worked so hard to bake the gingerbread house and the mouse had ruined it. Dad and brother hugged them and said they were sorry. They said they would help them bake another gingerbread house tomorrow. They said they still loved them and their baking. Anna and her mom smiled and said thank you. They said they still loved them too. They said they would bake a better gingerbread house tomorrow. And they would make sure the mouse would not get it.
+Lily and Anna are best friends. They like to play with dolls and dress up. One day, they find a big box of makeup in Lily's mom's room. They want to try it on.
+
+"Look, Anna, this is lipstick. It makes your lips red and shiny," Lily says. She puts some on her doll and then on herself.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you look so pretty. Can I try too?" Anna asks. She takes the lipstick and puts some on her doll and then on herself.
+
+They laugh and giggle. They also try some eyeshadow, blush, and mascara. They make their dolls and themselves look like princesses.
+
+They are having so much fun that they do not hear Lily's mom coming home. She opens the door and sees the mess. She is very angry.
+
+"Lily, Anna, what did you do? This is my makeup. You are not allowed to touch it. It is not for children. Look at your faces and your clothes. They are all dirty and stained. How could you?" she scolds.
+
+Lily and Anna are scared and sorry. They did not mean to make Lily's mom mad. They just wanted to play.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We just wanted to look like you. You are so beautiful," Lily says.
+
+Lily's mom sighs. She is still angry, but she also loves her daughter and her friend. She knows they are just curious and innocent.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I know you did not mean to be bad. But you have to ask me before you use my things. And makeup is not for children. It can hurt your skin and eyes. You are beautiful without it. Come on, let's go wash your faces and change your clothes. And then we can have some cookies and milk," she says.
+
+Lily and Anna nod. They follow Lily's mom to the bathroom. They wash their faces and see their real colors again. They smile at each other.
+
+They are lucky. They have a nice mom who forgives them. They have each other as best friends. And they have cookies and milk waiting for them. They are happy.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play games. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Muffin Contest. Win a famous muffin!"
+
+Tom and Jen want to win the famous muffin. They run to the contest. They see many people. They see many muffins. They see a judge. The judge says: "Who wants to join the contest? You have to make a muffin. The best muffin wins the famous muffin!"
+
+Tom and Jen raise their hands. They get a bowl, a spoon, and some ingredients. They start to make their muffins. Tom wants to win. He puts a lot of sugar, chocolate, and candy in his muffin. He thinks his muffin will be the best. Jen wants to win too. But she also wants to make a good muffin. She puts some flour, eggs, milk, and fruit in her muffin. She thinks her muffin will be tasty and healthy.
+
+They put their muffins in the oven. They wait for a while. Then they take their muffins out. They show their muffins to the judge. The judge looks at their muffins. He says: "Wow, these are very different muffins. Let me taste them."
+
+He takes a bite of Tom's muffin. He makes a face. He says: "This muffin is too sweet. It hurts my teeth. It is not good for you." He takes a bite of Jen's muffin. He smiles. He says: "This muffin is delicious. It is soft and moist. It has a nice flavor. It is good for you."
+
+He points to Jen's muffin. He says: "This is the best muffin. Jen wins the famous muffin!" He gives Jen a big, famous muffin. Jen is happy. She says: "Thank you, judge. I worked hard to make this muffin. I am glad you like it." She looks at Tom. She says: "Do you want to share my muffin with me? We are friends." Tom is sad. He says: "I am sorry, Jen. I was greedy. I wanted to win. I did not care about making a good muffin. I learned my lesson. Can we still be friends?" Jen nods. She says: "Of course we can. Friends share and care. Here, have a bite of my muffin. It is yummy." Tom smiles. He says: "Thank you, Jen. You are a good friend. And a good baker. Your muffin is yummy." They hug and eat the muffin together.
+
+The moral of the story is: It is better to make something good than to make something bad. It is better to share and care than to be greedy and selfish. It is better to be a good friend than to be a bad friend.
+Tom and Ann are husband and wife. They live in a big house with a big garden. They like to grow flowers and fruits and vegetables. Every day, they pick some of them and eat them or give them to their friends.
+
+One day, Tom says to Ann, "Let's pick some apples today. They are big and red and sweet. We can make a pie and share it with our neighbors." Ann says, "That sounds good. I love apple pie. Let's go to the apple tree."
+
+They go to the apple tree and see many apples on the branches. They take a basket and start to pick the apples. They are happy and sing a song. They fill the basket with apples.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. They look up and see a big bear. The bear is hungry and angry. He wants the apples. He roars and runs towards them. Tom and Ann are scared. They drop the basket and run away. The bear reaches the basket and eats all the apples. He leaves the basket empty.
+
+Tom and Ann hide behind a fence. They are sad and cry. They have no apples and no pie. They hug each other and say, "We are glad we are safe. We still have each other. We can pick some other fruits tomorrow." They go back to their house and make some tea. They hope the bear will not come back.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play near the lake. They had a toy sail that they made from a stick, a leaf and a string. They would put the sail in the water and watch it move with the wind.
+
+One day, they saw a big sail on the lake. It was white and red and had a man and a woman on it. They looked happy and waved at Lily and Ben.
+
+"Hello!" Lily shouted. "What is that?"
+
+"That is a boat," the man said. "We use it to sail on the lake. Do you want to come and see?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were curious and excited. They ran to the shore and the man helped them get on the boat. The woman gave them cookies and juice.
+
+"This is unusual," Ben said. "We never sailed on a big sail before."
+
+"It is fun," Lily said. "We can see the whole lake and the trees and the birds."
+
+The man and the woman smiled. They told Lily and Ben stories about their boat and the places they had visited. They taught them how to steer the sail and how to tie knots. They let them wear hats and sunglasses.
+
+Lily and Ben had a wonderful time. They learned a lot and made new friends. They thanked the man and the woman for the ride and the treats. They said goodbye and went back to their toy sail.
+
+"We know how to sail now," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, we do," Ben said. "But our sail is still special. It is ours and we made it."
+
+They hugged their sail and played some more. They were happy and proud. They had an unusual adventure.
+Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys and books, but they liked to draw with pens and paper. They made pictures of animals, flowers, and houses. They were happy and quiet.
+
+But then, Lily saw something under the bed. It was a big box with a bow. She wondered what was inside. She wanted to peek. She said to Tom, "Look, there is a box under the bed. Maybe it is a gift for us. Can we peek?"
+
+Tom shook his head. He said, "No, we can't peek. It is not ours. It is for Mom and Dad. They said it is a surprise. We have to wait until their birthday. If we peek, we will spoil the surprise."
+
+Lily felt sad. She really wanted to peek. She said, "But I am curious. Maybe it is a new toy or a book. Maybe it is something we can share. Please, can we peek? Just a little bit?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He was curious too. He said, "Well, maybe we can peek. But only a little bit. And we have to be careful. We don't want to break the box or the bow. And we don't want Mom and Dad to find out. Come on, let's peek."
+
+They crawled under the bed and lifted the box. They opened it a little bit and looked inside. They saw something unknown. It was not a toy or a book. It was not something they could share. It was a big, shiny, round thing. It had buttons and lights and wires. They did not know what it was. They were scared. They dropped the box and ran out of the room. They decided not to peek again. They decided to wait until their birthday. They hoped Mom and Dad would like their surprise.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big green hill near their house. They wanted to see what was on the other side of the hill, so they decided to go on a journey.
+
+They packed some snacks and water in their backpacks and put on their hats and shoes. They said goodbye to their mom and dad and started to walk up the hill. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds on the way. They sang songs and told jokes and had fun.
+
+When they reached the top of the hill, they saw a big lake with ducks and fish. They also saw a boat with a man and a woman. The man had a big knife and he was cutting some wood. The woman had a basket and she was picking some berries. They looked friendly and happy.
+
+Tom and Lily waved to them and said hello. The man and the woman waved back and invited them to join them. They said they could ride the boat and eat some berries and learn how to cut wood. Tom and Lily agreed and ran down the hill to meet them.
+
+They had a wonderful time on the lake with the man and the woman. They learned many new things and made new friends. They thanked them for their kindness and said they would come back soon. Then they walked back up the hill and down the other side to their house. They told their mom and dad about their journey and showed them the wood and the berries they brought. Their mom and dad were proud of them and hugged them. They ate dinner and went to bed, dreaming of their next adventure.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They saw a big bag under a bench. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe it's a trap!" Anna said.
+
+They looked around. No one was watching. They ran to the bench and opened the bag. They saw a lot of green papers. They did not know what they were.
+
+"Wow! Look at all the papers!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe they are drawings!" Anna said.
+
+They took some papers out and looked at them. They saw faces and numbers on them.
+
+"Hey, these are not drawings. These are money!" Ben said.
+
+"Money? What is money?" Anna said.
+
+"Money is what you use to buy things. Like ice cream and toys and books. We are rich!" Ben said.
+
+He put some money in his pocket. He wanted to buy a lot of things.
+
+Anna was not sure. She felt something was wrong. She wanted to put the money back.
+
+"Ben, I don't think we should take the money. It is not ours. Someone might be looking for it. They might be sad or angry." Anna said.
+
+"No, Anna. This is our lucky day. We found the money. We can keep it. Come on, let's go and buy some ice cream!" Ben said.
+
+He grabbed Anna's hand and pulled her away from the bench. He did not see the man who was hiding behind a tree. The man had a hat and a coat and a gun. He was the one who had stolen the money from the bank. He had left the bag under the bench while he was running away from the police. He saw the children take his money. He was very angry.
+
+He came out from behind the tree and shouted at them.
+
+"Hey, you! Stop! Give me back my money!"
+
+Anna and Ben heard the man. They were very scared. They did not know what to do. They froze. They could not move.
+
+The man ran towards them. He was going to take his money and hurt them.
+
+But then, they heard a siren. They saw a police car. The police had followed the man. They had seen him leave the bag. They had seen him chase the children. They had come to save them.
+
+The police got out of the car. They pointed their guns at the man.
+
+"Drop your gun! Put your hands up! You are under arrest!" The police said.
+
+The man dropped his gun. He put his hands up. He knew he was caught.
+
+The police took the man away. They took the bag of money too. They asked the children if they were okay. They said they were brave and smart.
+
+Anna and Ben were very relieved. They were glad the police came. They were sorry they took the money. They learned their lesson.
+
+They hugged each other. They said thank you to the police. They were grateful.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to gaze at the stars. Every night, they would go to the window and look up at the sky. They would see the moon, the stars, and sometimes a shooting star. They would make a wish and hope it would come true.
+
+One night, they saw a big star that was brighter than the others. They wondered what it was and what it could do. They decided to ask their dad, who knew a lot about the world.
+
+"Dad, what is that big star?" Tom asked.
+
+"That is not a star, my humble children. That is a comet. A comet is a ball of ice and dust that travels very fast in space. Sometimes, it comes close to the earth and we can see it," dad explained.
+
+"Wow, that is amazing! Can we make a wish on it?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. But be careful what you wish for. Sometimes, wishes can have consequences," dad warned.
+
+Tom and Lily did not listen to dad. They thought he was just joking. They went back to the window and gazed at the comet. They wished for something they always wanted: to fly.
+
+The next day, they woke up and felt strange. They had wings on their backs. They were so happy and excited. They ran outside and tried to fly. They flapped their wings and soared into the air. They felt free and joyful. They flew over the trees, the houses, and the fields. They laughed and shouted.
+
+But they did not notice the big bird that was watching them. The bird was hungry and saw them as food. It swooped down and grabbed Tom with its claws. Tom screamed and tried to escape, but it was too late. The bird flew away with him.
+
+Lily saw what happened and was terrified. She cried and called for dad. But dad could not hear her. He was inside the house and did not know what was going on. Lily was alone and scared. She wished she never wished to fly. She wished she was back to normal. But her wish did not come true. She was stuck with her wings and her sadness. She gazed at the sky and wished for Tom. But Tom was gone.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toy train. They have a big track with hills and bridges and tunnels. They make the train go fast and slow and make noises like choo-choo.
+
+One day, they see something new on the track. It is a real train, not a toy. It is big and shiny and has a lot of cars. It also has a lot of steam coming out of its nose. Lily and Ben are very surprised and curious. How did the real train appear on their track?
+
+They go closer to the real train and touch it. It is warm and hard and smooth. They hear a whistle and see a man in a hat. He is the driver of the train. He smiles and waves at them. He tells them that he is lost and needs help to find his way. He says that his train is very dry and needs water to make more steam.
+
+Lily and Ben want to help the driver. They remember that they have a hose in their yard. They run to get the hose and bring it to the train. They turn on the water and fill up the train's tank. The train makes more steam and is happy. The driver thanks them and gives them a map. He shows them where he needs to go and how to move the track switches.
+
+Lily and Ben follow the map and move the switches. They make a path for the train to leave their track and join the big track. The train is ready to go. It whistles and says goodbye to Lily and Ben. They wave and say goodbye too. They watch the train disappear with a lot of steam. They are proud and happy. They go back to play with their toy train. They hope to see the real train again someday.
+One day, Tom and Lily wanted to have some fun in the snow. They put on their warm coats, hats, and boots and went outside. They saw a big hill covered with icy snow. "Let's slide down the hill!" Tom said. "It looks like fun!"
+
+But Lily was scared. She did not like the icy snow. She thought it was too cold and slippery. She wanted to play with the snowman they made yesterday. "No, thank you," she said. "I want to stay here with the snowman. He is my friend."
+
+Tom was sad. He wanted to play with Lily. He did not want to slide down the hill alone. He tried to make Lily change her mind. "Please, Lily, come with me," he said. "It is not scary. It is fun! We can go fast and make snowballs. The snowman will be here when we come back."
+
+But Lily shook her head. She did not want to go. She hugged the snowman and said, "No, Tom, I don't want to go. You go. I will stay here."
+
+Tom was angry. He thought Lily was being silly and boring. He decided to go without her. He took his sled and ran to the top of the hill. He did not look back at Lily. He sat on his sled and pushed himself down the hill. He went very fast and felt the icy wind on his face. He shouted, "Whee! This is fun!"
+
+But then he saw a big rock in his way. He tried to steer his sled away from the rock, but it was too late. He hit the rock and flew off his sled. He landed on the icy snow and hurt his arm. He cried, "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry. She looked up and saw him lying on the snow. She felt sorry for him. She left the snowman and ran to Tom. She helped him get up and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
+
+Tom nodded. He felt his arm and saw a bruise. He said, "Yes, it hurts. I was stupid. I should have listened to you. The hill was too icy and dangerous. I'm sorry, Lily. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Of course, I forgive you, Tom. You are my brother. I love you. Come on, let's go back to the snowman. He is waiting for us. Maybe we can make him a hat and a scarf. That will be fun."
+
+Tom smiled too. He said, "Yes, let's do that. That will be fun. Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I love you too."
+
+They held hands and walked back to the snowman. They had fun making him a hat and a scarf. They forgot about the icy hill and the rock. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a big pot of coffee on the table. They want to be like their mom and dad, who drink coffee every morning.
+
+"Let's make coffee for mom and dad," Anna says. "They will be so happy."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "How do we make coffee?"
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers seeing mom put some brown powder in the pot. She finds a jar of cocoa in the cupboard and pours some in the pot. Then she adds some water from the sink.
+
+"Is that enough?" Ben asks.
+
+"Maybe a little more," Anna says. She puts some salt, sugar, and ketchup in the pot. She stirs everything with a spoon.
+
+"Yummy," she says. "This is the best coffee ever."
+
+They fill two cups with the coffee and carry them to the living room, where mom and dad are reading.
+
+"Surprise!" Anna and Ben say. "We made coffee for you!"
+
+Mom and dad smile and thank them. They take a sip of the coffee and make a terrible face.
+
+"Ugh, this is terrible!" mom says. "What did you put in it?"
+
+"Cocoa, water, salt, sugar, and ketchup," Anna says proudly.
+
+"Ketchup?" dad says. "Why ketchup?"
+
+"Because it's red, like coffee," Anna says.
+
+Mom and dad try not to laugh. They hug Anna and Ben and tell them they love them.
+
+"Thank you for your offer, but we don't like this kind of coffee," mom says. "Maybe next time, you can help us make real coffee."
+
+"OK," Anna and Ben say. "But can we have some cocoa?"
+
+"Sure," mom says. "But no ketchup, please."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big sign near the gate. The sign had many words and a picture of a dog.
+
+"What does the sign say?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+Ben tried to read the sign, but the words were too hard. He saw the picture of the dog and said, "I think it says we can play with the dog."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love dogs. Let's go and find the dog."
+
+They ran to the gate and looked for the dog. They saw a big, black dog on a leash. The dog was barking and jumping. A man was holding the leash.
+
+"Can we play with your dog?" Ben asked the man.
+
+The man shook his head and said, "No, you can't. This dog is not friendly. He bites. That's why the sign says 'Do not lift or touch the dog'."
+
+Ben and Lily were upset. They wanted to play with the dog. They did not understand why the sign said that.
+
+They went back to the sign and looked at it again. They saw a red circle with a line on the picture of the dog. They realized that the sign meant 'No'.
+
+They felt sad and walked away. They decided to play with the ducks instead. They hoped to find a friendly dog another day.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the backyard. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They had a big jar to keep their finds.
+
+"Look, Sam, I found a big spider!" Mia said, holding a black and yellow spider in her hand.
+
+"Wow, Mia, that's a dangerous spider!" Sam said, backing away. "It can bite you and make you sick. Put it in the jar, quick!"
+
+Mia nodded and ran to the jar. She opened the lid and dropped the spider inside. Then she closed the lid and shook the jar.
+
+"Let's examine it, Sam!" Mia said, holding the jar up to the sun. "It has eight legs and two eyes and a red spot on its back."
+
+Sam came closer and looked at the jar. He saw the spider crawling and spinning a web.
+
+"It's making a wrap for itself, Mia!" Sam said, pointing at the web. "Maybe it's cold or scared."
+
+Mia felt sorry for the spider. She did not want to hurt it or make it unhappy.
+
+"Maybe we should let it go, Sam," Mia said, putting the jar down. "It's not nice to keep a dangerous spider in a jar. It belongs in the wild."
+
+Sam agreed. He did not like the spider, but he did not want to be mean to it.
+
+"Okay, Mia, let's let it go," Sam said, opening the lid. "But be careful, don't touch it or let it bite you."
+
+Mia nodded and tipped the jar over. The spider slid out and ran away into the grass.
+
+"Bye, spider, be safe!" Mia said, waving at it.
+
+"Bye, spider, don't come back!" Sam said, closing the lid.
+
+Sam and Mia smiled at each other and went back to their game. They had fun examining bugs and flowers, but they learned to be careful of dangerous spiders.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. Tom had a pirate hat and a sword. Lily had a doll and a tea set. They were having fun, until Tom saw Lily's doll.
+
+"Give me that doll!" Tom said. "It belongs to me!"
+
+"No, it doesn't!" Lily said. "It's mine! You have your pirate hat and sword!"
+
+"But I want the doll too!" Tom said. "It's a pirate doll! See, it has a patch and a hook!"
+
+"That's not a patch and a hook!" Lily said. "That's a bow and a bracelet! It's a princess doll!"
+
+Tom and Lily started to fight over the doll. They pulled and tugged and shouted. The doll was hard to hold. It slipped from their hands and fell on the ground.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom and Lily said. "The doll is broken!"
+
+They looked at the doll. Its head was off. Its dress was torn. Its hair was messy.
+
+They felt sad and sorry. They didn't want to fight. They wanted to play.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I shouldn't have taken your doll."
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I shouldn't have yelled at you."
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to share their toys. Tom gave Lily his pirate hat and sword. Lily gave Tom her doll and tea set.
+
+They played together happily. They pretended to be pirates and princesses. They had a tea party on their pirate ship. They said they were sorry to the doll and fixed it with tape and glue.
+
+They learned that toys belong to everyone who wants to play with them. They learned that playing together is more fun than fighting. They learned that being friends is not hard, but easy and nice.
+Sara and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a new girl sitting on a bench. She had a big hat and a book. Sara and Ben wanted to say hello, but they felt shy.
+
+"Who is she?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe she is new here," Ben said.
+
+They looked at the girl, and the girl looked at them. She smiled and waved. Sara and Ben smiled and waved back.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily," the girl said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and ran to the bench. Lily put down her book and showed them what she had in her bag. She had a lot of daisies that she had picked from the field.
+
+"Wow, they are so pretty!" Sara said.
+
+"Thank you. They are my favorite flowers. Do you like them?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. Can we have some?" Ben asked.
+
+"Of course. You can have as many as you want. I have enough for everyone," Lily said. She gave Sara and Ben some daisies and made a necklace for herself.
+
+"Look, we are all wearing daisies. We are like a team," Lily said.
+
+Sara and Ben agreed. They felt happy and welcomed by Lily. They decided to play tag with her and have fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be afraid to make new friends. They might have something nice to share with you.
+Anna liked to play in the garden with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a lizard. The lizard was not a real lizard, but a toy lizard that was green and had a long tail. Anna liked to pretend that the lizard was her friend and talk to it.
+
+One day, Anna was playing with the lizard in the garden when she saw a big cat. The cat was black and had yellow eyes. It looked at Anna and the lizard and made a loud noise. "Meow!" The cat wanted to catch the lizard and play with it.
+
+Anna was scared of the cat. She did not want the cat to hurt her lizard. She picked up the lizard and ran to the house. She knocked on the door and called for her mom. "Mom, mom, help me! There is a big cat in the garden and it wants to take my lizard!"
+
+Mom opened the door and saw Anna and the lizard. She hugged Anna and said, "Don't worry, sweetie, the cat can't get your lizard. You are safe in the house. The cat is just curious, it doesn't mean to be bad."
+
+Anna felt better and smiled at her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom, you are the best. You always remind me that I am brave and strong. Can I keep playing with my lizard in the house?"
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Of course, you can. But be careful not to lose your lizard. It is very small and it can hide under the sofa or the bed. Why don't you give your lizard a name?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment and said, "I will call my lizard Lizzy. Lizzy the lizard. I like that name. Do you like it, mom?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I like it, Anna. It is a very nice name. Now, go and have fun with Lizzy. And don't forget to wash your hands before lunch."
+
+Anna kissed her mom and said, "I love you, mom. And I love Lizzy too. She is my best friend." She ran to the living room with her lizard and continued to play. She was happy and not scared anymore.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen and snow forts. They wear warm coats and boots and mittens. Anna has red mittens and Ben has blue mittens.
+
+One day, they find a big bucket of paint in the garage. They have an idea. They want to make the snow colorful. They take the bucket and some brushes and go outside. They mix the paint with water and start to paint the snow.
+
+"Look, Anna, I made a green snowman!" Ben says. He paints a face and buttons on the snowman with his brush.
+
+"That's funny, Ben. I made a purple snow fort!" Anna says. She paints the walls and the roof of the fort with her brush.
+
+They paint and paint until the bucket is empty. They make the snow wild with colors. They are happy and proud of their work.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is angry.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What have you done? You made a mess with the paint! And look at your mittens! They are all dirty and wet!" Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben look at their mittens. They are not red and blue anymore. They are brown and gray and sticky. They feel sorry and scared.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We just wanted to have fun. We didn't mean to make a mess." Anna says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We just wanted to make the snow colorful. We didn't mean to ruin our mittens." Ben says.
+
+Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not too mad. She loves Anna and Ben.
+
+"Come on, you two. Let's go inside and clean up. Maybe we can wash your mittens and make them nice again. And next time, please ask me before you use the paint." Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They follow Mom inside. They hope their mittens will be red and blue again. They still like the wild snow, but they also like their mittens.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play soccer with his friends. He wanted to score a goal and make his team win. But he was not very good at kicking the ball. Sometimes he missed the ball, sometimes he kicked it too hard or too soft, and sometimes he kicked it to the other team.

+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" his friend Ben asked. He helped Tom get up.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I'm no good at soccer. I always mess up. I want to quit," Tom said.
+
+"Don't say that, Tom. You can get better if you practice and learn from your mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The important thing is to try again and not give up. That's how you succeed," Ben said.
+
+"Really?" Tom asked.
+
+"Really. Come on, let's play some more. I'll show you some tips to kick the ball better. And don't worry about what others say. They are not your friends. We are your friends, and we support you," Ben said.
+
+Tom felt a little better. He decided to listen to Ben and try again. He practiced and learned from his mistakes. He became more confident and skilled. He scored a goal and made his team win. He felt proud and happy. He thanked Ben for his help and friendship.
+

+"What is that?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a bear?" Ben says.
+
+They hide behind a tree and watch the thing. The thing sniffs the air and walks to a picnic basket. It opens the basket and takes out a sandwich. It eats the sandwich and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Mmm, delicious!" the thing says.
+
+Sara and Ben are surprised. The thing can talk!
+
+"Hello, little ones. Don't be scared. I am not a bear. I am a lion. I ran away from the zoo. I was hungry and lonely. Do you want to be my friends?" the thing says.
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They are still scared, but also curious. The thing looks friendly and sad.
+
+"OK, we can be your friends. But you have to be nice and gentle. And you have to go back to the zoo. The zookeepers will miss you and take care of you." Sara says.
+
+"Really? You are not afraid of me? Thank you, little ones. You are very kind. I will go back to the zoo. But first, can I have another sandwich? They are delicious!" the thing says.
+
+Sara and Ben laugh. They give the thing another sandwich and hug him. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They have a new friend.
+Lily and Ben were happy. They were on holiday with Mum and Dad. They went to the beach every day. They played with sand and water. They saw fish and crabs.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben wanted to build a big sandcastle. They worked hard. They used buckets and spades. They made towers and walls. They decorated it with shells and stones.
+
+"Look, Mum and Dad!" Lily said. "We made a sandcastle!"
+
+"It's very nice!" Mum said. "You did a good job!"
+
+"Can we finish it tomorrow?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, we can!" Dad said. "But now it's time to go back to the hotel. It's getting dark."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said goodbye to their sandcastle. They followed Mum and Dad to the car.
+
+But on the way, something bad happened. A big dog ran out of nowhere. It barked and growled. It jumped on Lily and Ben. It bit them. It hurt them.
+
+Lily and Ben screamed. Mum and Dad ran to help them. They scared the dog away. They hugged Lily and Ben. They saw blood and tears.
+

+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to look at the sea and the big fish that sometimes jumped out of the water.
+
+"Look, Lily, a whale!" Tom said, pointing at a dark shape in the waves. "It is so big and wet!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, it is!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Do you think it can see us?"
+
+"Maybe. Let's wave at it and say hello!" Tom said, waving his arms.
+
+They waved and shouted at the whale, but it did not wave or shout back. It just swam away, leaving a splash behind.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted to be friends with the whale. They wondered what it was like to live in the sea and swim with other whales.
+
+"Tom, I have an idea!" Lily said, brightening up. "Let's make a whale out of sand!"
+
+"OK, Lily, that sounds fun!" Tom said, smiling. "How do we do that?"
+
+"We need a lot of sand and some water. We can mix them together and make a big pile. Then we can shape it like a whale. We can use shells for the eyes and seaweed for the tail!" Lily said, excited.
+
+They ran to the water and filled their buckets with sand and water. They poured them on the ground and mixed them with their hands. They made a big, wet pile of sand. Then they started to shape it like a whale.
+
+They worked hard and had fun. They made the whale's body, head, fins and tail. They stuck shells for the eyes and seaweed for the tail. They were very proud of their whale.
+
+"Look, Tom, we made a whale!" Lily said, admiring their work.
+
+"It looks great, Lily! Maybe the real whale will come back and see it!" Tom said, hoping.
+
+They sat next to their whale and waited. They hoped the real whale would come back and be their friend.
+
+But the real whale did not come back. The sun was getting hot and the tide was going out. The sand whale started to dry and crack. The shells and seaweed fell off. The whale looked sad and lonely.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad and lonely too. They wished they could play with the real whale. They wished they could make their sand whale happy.
+
+"Tom, Lily, it's time to go!" their mom called from the car.
+
+They got up and looked at their whale. They felt sorry for it. They wanted to say goodbye.
+
+"Bye, whale, we love you!" they said, hugging their whale.
+
+They ran to the car and got in. They looked back at the beach and saw their whale. It was still there, but it was dry and broken.
+
+They waved at it and said goodbye. They hoped it would not be too lonely. They hoped they would see it again. They hoped they would see the real whale too.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sometimes they listen to the radio and sing along. The radio has many songs and stories.

+
+"Stop it, Ben!" Sara says. "I want to hear the story. It is fun and exciting."
+
+"No, Sara!" Ben says. "I want to hear a song. It is happy and loud."
+
+They pull the knob and argue. They refuse to share the radio. They make a lot of noise and frown.

+
+"Kids, what are you doing?" Mom says. "Why are you not playing nicely?"
+
+"Sara won't let me listen to a song!" Ben says.
+
+"Ben won't let me listen to a story!" Sara says.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She has an idea.
+
+"Kids, how about we turn off the radio and play a game?" Mom says. "We can take turns to tell our own stories and songs. That way, we can all have fun and be creative."
+
+Sara and Ben think about it. They like to tell stories and songs. They nod and smile.

+Sam liked to play with his drum. He would bang it loud and fast, and make a lot of noise. He did not care if his mom or dad or sister were busy or tired. He just wanted to have fun with his drum.
+
+One day, his mom said to him, "Sam, you need to stop playing with your drum. It is too harsh for our ears. You are hurting us with your noise. Can you play with something else?"
+
+Sam did not listen to his mom. He said, "No, I like my drum. It is my favorite toy. I want to play with it all day. You are mean, mom. You do not want me to be happy."
+
+His mom was sad and angry. She said, "Sam, you are being rude and selfish. You do not care about how we feel. You do not provide us with any peace or respect. If you do not stop playing with your drum, I will take it away from you."
+
+Sam did not believe his mom. He thought she was bluffing. He said, "You will not take my drum. You cannot do that. It is mine. You gave it to me for my birthday. You cannot take it back."
+
+His mom said, "Watch me." She went to his room and grabbed his drum. She put it in a closet and locked the door. She said, "You can have your drum back when you learn to be quiet and kind. Until then, you can play with something else."
+
+Sam was shocked and sad. He cried and screamed. He said, "Mom, please, give me back my drum. I am sorry. I will be good. I will play with it softly and nicely. Please, mom, please."
+
+His mom said, "No, Sam. You need to learn your lesson. You need to think about how your actions affect others. You need to provide us with some love and care. Maybe tomorrow, if you are good, I will give you back your drum. But not today."
+
+Sam realized he had made a mistake. He had been too harsh with his drum and his mom. He had not provided them with any joy or comfort. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "Mom, I am sorry. I love you. I will be good. I will play with something else. I will wait for my drum. I will not be harsh again."

+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a big bucket and a small shovel.
+
+"Look, I found a worm!" Lily said, holding up a long, slimy thing.
+
+"Wow, let me see!" Tom said, reaching for the worm.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said, pulling the worm away.
+
+"Please, can I hold it?" Tom asked, trying to grab the worm.
+
+"No, no, no!" Lily shouted, resisting Tom's hand.
+
+They started to tug and pull on the worm, making it stretch and twist.
+

+Lily liked to play with her toys in the living room. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a bear. She liked to make them talk and move. One day, she saw a wire on the floor. It was long and smooth and shiny. She wondered what it was for.
+

+
+But the hole was too high for her. She jumped and stretched, but she could not touch it. She looked around and saw a chair. She had an idea. She pushed the chair to the wall and climbed on it. Now she was taller. She reached for the hole again.
+
+But the wire was not happy. It did not like to be pulled and twisted. It made a loud noise and a bright spark. Lily was scared and let go of the wire. She fell off the chair and bumped her head. She started to cry.
+
+Mama heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lily on the floor and the wire on the chair. She knew what happened. She ran to Lily and hugged her. She said, "Lily, are you okay? You should not play with the wire. It is dangerous. It can hurt you. It is not a toy."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mama. I was curious. I wanted to see what was in the hole. But the wire was angry and bit me. It was scary."
+
+Mama kissed her head and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you are not hurt. The wire is not angry. It is just electricity. It is for the lamp and the TV. It is not for playing. Next time, ask me before you touch something you don't know. I will tell you what it is and if it is safe."
+
+Lily hugged her back and said, "Okay, Mama. I will ask you. I love you."
+
+Mama smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's put the chair back and play with your toys. They are much more fun than the wire."

+"Sorry, mom. We were hungry. We like bananas," Lila says.
+
+"Those bananas are not for you. They are for grandma. She is sick and needs to eat healthy food. And they are expensive. I had to pay a lot of money for them," mom says.
+
+Lila and Ben feel bad. They did not know the bananas were for grandma. They did not know they were expensive.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We did not know. Can we give the bananas to grandma?" Ben says.
+
+Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not too mad. She loves her twins.

+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big green cactus with many sharp spikes. Lily wanted to touch it, but Tom said no.
+
+"Don't touch the cactus, Lily. It will hurt you. Look, it has spikes like needles. Ouch!" Tom said.
+
+"But I want to see what is inside the cactus. Maybe there is something nice. Maybe there is water or candy or a toy. Can we open the cactus, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom shook his head. He remembered what his grandma told him. His grandma was very wise. She knew many things about plants and animals and stars.
+
+"Grandma said we should not open the cactus, Lily. She said the cactus is alive and it needs its skin to keep the water inside. If we open the cactus, it will die. And that is not nice. We should be kind to the cactus and let it grow and be happy." Tom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She did not want to hurt the cactus. She wanted to be kind and happy too. She gave the cactus a gentle hug and said sorry.
+
+"Sorry, cactus. I did not know you were alive. You are very pretty and strong. I will not open you. I will be your friend." Lily said.
+
+The cactus did not say anything, but it felt the hug and the sorry. It was happy to have a friend. It smiled with its little pink flowers.

+
+"Let's push it and see!" Tim said.
+
+"No, mom said we can't touch anything," Lily said. She was wise and listened to mom.
+
+But Tim was curious and did not listen. He grabbed Lily's hand and pushed the button. The door opened and they saw a big box with more buttons inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tim said. He pulled Lily into the box and pushed another button. The door closed and the box started to move.
+
+Lily felt scared. She did not like the box. It made a loud noise and shook. She wanted to get out.
+
+"Tim, stop it! Let's go back!" she said.
+
+But Tim did not stop. He pushed more buttons and the box moved faster and faster. He thought it was fun.
+
+Soon, the box stopped and the door opened. Tim and Lily saw a lot of people outside. They looked angry and scared. They shouted at Tim and Lily.
+
+"What are you doing here? You could have caused an accident!" one man said.

+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a tree on top. Sara wanted to climb the tree and pretend to be a queen. Ben wanted to climb the hill and roll down.
+
+"Let's climb the tree, Ben!" Sara said. "I can be the queen of the park and you can be my knight."
+
+"No, let's climb the hill, Sara!" Ben said. "It's more fun to roll down and get dizzy."
+
+They argued for a while, but neither of them changed their mind. Sara was persistent. She ran to the tree and started to climb. Ben was persistent too. He ran to the hill and started to climb.
+
+Sara reached the top of the tree and looked around. She felt happy and proud. She waved her hand and said, "I am the queen of the park! All the birds and squirrels are my friends!"
+
+Ben reached the top of the hill and looked around. He felt happy and proud too. He lay down on the grass and said, "I am the king of the hill! All the wind and clouds are my friends!"

+The end.
+Lily and Sam were playing catch in the park. They liked to throw the ball to each other and run after it. They wore their uniforms from school. They were blue and white and had a badge with a star on it.
+
+"Sam, look at that big dog!" Lily said, pointing to a furry brown animal near the trees. "He is so cute! Can we pet him?"
+
+Sam shook his head. "No, Lily, we don't know him. He might be angry or bite us. We should stay away from him."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran towards the dog, holding the ball in her hand. She wanted to make friends with him. She thought he would like to play catch too.
+
+The dog saw Lily coming and barked loudly. He did not like strangers. He thought Lily was trying to take his bone, which he had hidden under a bush. He ran towards Lily, growling and showing his teeth.
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the ball and screamed. She turned around and ran back to Sam. But the dog was faster. He caught up with her and jumped on her. He tore her uniform with his claws and bit her arm.
+
+Sam heard Lily's scream and ran to help her. He picked up a stick and hit the dog on the head. The dog yelped and ran away. Sam hugged Lily and checked her arm. It was bleeding and hurt a lot.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Sam asked, worried.
+
+Lily nodded, but she was crying. "I'm sorry, Sam. I was silly. I should have listened to you. The dog was not nice. He ruined my uniform and bit me."
+
+Sam said, "It's okay, Lily. You made a mistake. But you learned your lesson. Next time, we will be more careful. Come on, let's go home and tell mom. She will make you feel better."
+
+They walked home, holding hands. They were quiet and sad. They did not want to play catch anymore. They just wanted to be safe and warm.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They build houses and cars and towers with blocks. Sometimes they fight over blocks.

+One day, Ben and Sam are building a house with blocks. Ben wants to make a big roof with many blocks. Sam wants to make a small roof with few blocks. They argue about the roof.
+
+"Give me more blocks!" Ben says. "I need them for the roof!"
+
+"No, I need them!" Sam says. "Your roof is too big and stupid!"
+
+Ben and Sam pull and push the blocks. The blocks fall down. The house breaks. Ben and Sam are sad and angry.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken house and the crying brothers.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks.
+
+"Ben and Sam point at each other. "He did it!" they say.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She hugs Ben and Sam.
+
+"I'm sorry, boys," Mom says. "But you can't play like that. You have to share and be nice. Why don't you build a new house together? You can include both big and small blocks in the roof. That way, everyone is happy."
+
+Ben and Sam look at each other. They feel sorry for fighting. They nod and smile.
+
+"Okay, Mom," they say. "We will try."
+
+Mom helps Ben and Sam pick up the blocks. They start to build a new house. They include both big and small blocks in the roof. The roof is not too big and not too stupid. It is just right. Ben and Sam are happy. They hug Mom and thank her.

+The end.
+Lily likes to read books. She has many books in her room. She reads them every day. She likes to look at the pictures and say the words.
+
+One day, she finds a new book on her bed. It is a big book with a jolly bear on the cover. Lily is happy. She opens the book and sees many colorful pages. She reads the title: "The Jolly Bear and His Friends".
+
+She starts to read the story. It is about a jolly bear who lives in the forest. He has many friends, like a bird, a rabbit, a fox and a squirrel. They play and have fun together. Lily likes the story. She smiles and laughs.
+
+She turns the page and sees something special. It is a touch page. It has different textures that she can feel with her fingers. She can touch the bear's fur, the bird's feathers, the rabbit's ears, the fox's tail and the squirrel's nuts. She is curious. She touches them one by one. They feel soft, smooth, fluffy, bushy and hard.
+
+She hears a voice behind her. It is her mom. She says: "Lily, what are you reading?"
+
+Lily turns around and shows her the book. She says: "It is a new book, mom. It is about a jolly bear and his friends. It is a touch book. Look, I can touch them. They feel nice. Do you want to touch them too?"
+
+Mom nods and sits next to Lily. She says: "Yes, I do. It is a wonderful book, Lily. You are a good reader. I am proud of you."
+
+Lily hugs her mom and says: "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love this book. Can we read it together?"
+
+Mom smiles and says: "Of course, we can. Let's read it together and have a jolly time."
+Lily and Ben liked to play in the old house. The old house had many things to see and touch. Some things were bright and shiny, like the glass cups and the metal spoons. Some things were dark and dirty, like the books and the clothes.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben found a big book in a box. The book had many words and pictures. Lily opened the book and tried to read it.
+
+"What is this book?" she asked Ben.
+
+Ben looked at the book and saw a word on the cover. He sounded out the word.
+
+"Dic-tion-ar-y," he said. "I think it is a book that tells you what words mean."
+
+Lily and Ben wanted to learn what words mean. They turned the pages and looked at the words and pictures. They saw words like "apple", "dog", and "star". They knew what those words mean. They saw words like "rot", "climb", and "dream". They did not know what those words mean.
+
+"Look, this word is 'rot'," Lily said, pointing at a picture of a brown banana. "What does 'rot' mean?"
+
+Ben looked at the picture and thought. He remembered the old bread in the kitchen. The old bread was green and smelled bad.
+
+"I think 'rot' means when something gets old and bad," he said.
+
+Lily nodded. She did not like things that rot. She wanted to see more words.
+
+They turned more pages and saw more words and pictures. They learned what words like "jump", "sing", and "happy" mean. They liked those words. They smiled and laughed.
+
+They had fun with the dictionary. They did not see the hole in the roof. They did not see the rain coming. They did not see the water dripping on the book.
+
+The next day, Lily and Ben came back to the old house. They wanted to play with the dictionary again. They looked for the box and the book. They found them, but they were not the same.
+
+The box was wet and soft. The book was wet and torn. The words and pictures were wet and blurry. The book was rotting.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They liked the dictionary. They wanted to learn more words. They did not want the book to rot.
+
+They picked up the book and tried to dry it. They tried to fix it. They tried to read it. But it was too late. The book was too wet and too rotten.
+
+They put the book back in the box. They said goodbye to the book. They left the old house. They looked for something else to play with. Something bright and shiny. Something that does not rot.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big truck with a hose. The truck says GAS on the side.
+
+"What is gas?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"Gas is something that makes cars go," Tom says. "The truck is putting gas in the tank under the ground."
+
+Lily and Tom go closer to the truck. They want to see the gas. They hear a loud beep.
+
+"Stay away, kids!" a man shouts from the truck. "Gas is not for playing. Gas can be hot and smelly and dangerous. You have to close your eyes and nose and mouth if gas comes out."
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They run away from the truck. They find their mom on a bench. She is reading a book. She has a pretty dress with flowers on it.
+
+"Mom, mom, we saw gas!" Lily says.
+
+"Gas? Where?" mom asks.
+
+"Over there, by the truck," Tom says. "But the man said gas is bad. He said we have to close everything if gas comes out."
+
+Mom looks at the truck. She sees the hose and the tank. She smiles.
+
+"Don't worry, kids," she says. "The man is right. Gas is not for playing. Gas is for cars. But the truck has a special thing that stops the gas from coming out. It is called a valve. The valve is like a door that closes the gas inside. The man knows how to open and close the valve. He is careful and safe. You are safe too, as long as you stay away from the truck."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They understand. They hug their mom. They are happy. They go back to playing in the park. They forget about the gas. They have fun.
+Tim and Mia are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and houses with different shapes and colors. Tim has a red circle block and Mia has a blue square block.
+
+"Look, I can put my circle on top of your square!" Tim says. He tries to balance his block on Mia's, but it rolls off and falls on the floor.
+
+"No, Tim, that does not work. Circles and squares do not fit together. You need another square or a triangle," Mia says. She picks up her block and puts it back on her tower.
+
+Tim feels sad. He wants to play with Mia, but he only has circle blocks. He looks around and sees a yellow circle block and a green circle block. He thinks maybe he can make a circle tower.
+
+He puts the yellow circle on the floor and then the green circle on top of it. He smiles and says, "Look, Mia, I made a circle tower!"
+
+Mia looks at Tim's tower and says, "That is nice, Tim, but it is very small. My tower is bigger and taller. See, I have squares and triangles and rectangles. They fit together and make a strong tower."
+
+Tim feels worried. He thinks Mia does not like his tower. He thinks maybe she does not want to play with him. He says, "But I like circles. They are round and smooth and pretty. Can we play with circles and squares together?"
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She likes Tim and she does not want to make him sad. She says, "OK, Tim, we can try. Maybe we can make a house with circles and squares. You can put your circles for the windows and the door, and I can put my squares for the walls and the roof. What do you think?"
+
+Tim feels happy. He thinks Mia has a good idea. He says, "Yes, Mia, that sounds fun. Let's make a house with circles and squares!"
+
+They start to work together and use their blocks to make a house. They put circles and squares in different places and make a colorful and cozy house. They are proud of their house and they smile at each other.
+
+They say, "We did it! We made a house with circles and squares!"
+
+They hug and say, "We are good friends!"
+Tom is a cat who lives in a big house with a rich family. He has a soft bed, a shiny bowl and many toys. He likes to play and sleep and eat. But he also likes to hunt for mice.
+
+One day, he sees a small mouse in the kitchen. The mouse is looking for food. Tom thinks the mouse will be a good snack. He sneaks up behind the mouse and pounces.
+
+But the mouse is fast and smart. He runs away from Tom and hides under the table. Tom chases the mouse, but he cannot catch him. The mouse runs out of the kitchen and into the living room.
+
+There, the mouse sees a big cake on a plate. The cake is for the rich family's party. The mouse thinks the cake will be a good treat. He climbs up the plate and takes a bite.
+
+But Tom sees the mouse on the cake. He jumps on the table and tries to grab the mouse. But the mouse is clever and brave. He throws some cake at Tom and makes him messy. Then he runs away from the table and out of the window.
+
+Tom is angry and sad. He has no snack and no treat. He has only cake on his fur. The rich family sees Tom and scolds him. They say he is a bad cat. They take away his toys and his bowl and his bed. They say he must serve them and catch the mouse.
+
+Tom wishes he had let the mouse go. He thinks the mouse is lucky and free. He hopes the mouse will come back and share some cake with him. He thinks the mouse will be a good friend.
+Lily and Ben are twins who love to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but they always want the same ones. They are very competitive and do not like to share.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the garage. They think it is a space ship and they want to fly to the moon. They both run to the box and try to get in. But the box is too small for both of them. They start to push and pull and shout.
+
+"Let me in! I want to be the captain!" Lily says.
+
+"No, me! I know more about space!" Ben says.
+
+They are so loud that their mom hears them. She comes to the garage and sees them fighting over the box. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop it, you two! You are making a mess and hurting each other. Why can't you play nicely?" she says.
+
+She takes the box away and tells them to go to their room. She says they can have the box back when they learn to share and cooperate.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They go to their room and sit on their beds. They do not talk to each other.
+
+After a while, they start to feel bored and lonely. They look at their toys, but they do not want to play with them. They miss the box and the space adventure.
+
+They also miss each other. They remember the fun times they had together, when they were not fighting. They think maybe they were wrong to be so competitive and selfish.
+
+They decide to say sorry and make up. They hug and smile.
+
+"Let's go and ask mom if we can have the box back," Lily says.
+
+"OK, but this time, let's take turns and work together," Ben says.
+
+They go to their mom and tell her they are sorry. They ask her if they can have the box back. They promise to share and cooperate.
+
+Their mom is glad to see them get along. She gives them the box back and helps them make it look like a space ship. She puts some stickers and drawings on it.
+
+She tells them they can fly to the moon, but they have to use their imagination. She says imagination is a powerful thing, if they believe in it.
+
+Lily and Ben nod and smile. They thank their mom and get in the box. They put on their helmets and buckle their seat belts. They count down from ten and blast off.
+
+They have a wonderful time exploring the space. They see stars and planets and aliens. They are happy and excited.
+
+They are also proud and grateful. They learn that sharing and cooperating are more fun than competing and fighting. They learn that believing and imagining are more fun than arguing and complaining.
+
+They are the best space twins ever.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom. Their mom worked hard to make pies and sell them at the market. She was poor and needed money to buy food and clothes for them.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben decided to support their mom by making a pie for her. They found some flour, sugar, butter, and apples in the kitchen. They mixed the flour and butter with their hands and rolled it flat. They cut the apples and sprinkled sugar on them. They put the apples on the dough and covered them with another layer of dough. They made a hole in the middle and put the pie in the oven.
+
+They waited for the pie to bake and smelled the sweet aroma. They were very proud of their pie and wanted to surprise their mom. They took the pie out of the oven and put it on a plate. They wrote a note that said, "We love you, Mom. We made this pie for you. Lily and Ben."
+
+They left the pie and the note on the table and hid behind the sofa. They heard their mom come home from the market. She saw the pie and the note and smiled. She said, "Oh, what a lovely pie! And what a sweet note! My children are so kind and clever. They support me so much. I love them, too."
+
+She cut a slice of the pie and tasted it. It was warm and delicious. She said, "This is the best pie I ever had. Thank you, Lily and Ben. Come here and give me a hug."
+
+Lily and Ben ran out from behind the sofa and hugged their mom. They were happy to see her happy. They shared the pie and enjoyed it together. They felt rich in love.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the living room. They have a big box of toys. Sara likes to spread the toys all over the floor. Tom likes to keep the toys in the box. They have different ways of playing.
+
+"Look, Sara, I have a telephone!" Tom says, holding a toy phone. "I can call Mommy and Daddy and tell them what we are doing."
+
+"That's not a real telephone, Tom. That's a toy telephone. It does not work." Sara says, picking up a doll. "I have a doll. She is my friend. I can hug her and talk to her."
+
+"But I like the telephone. It makes sounds and has buttons. It is fun." Tom says, pressing the buttons. "Beep, beep, beep. Hello, Mommy? Hello, Daddy?"
+
+Sara rolls her eyes. She thinks Tom is silly. She does not want to play with the telephone. She wants to play with the doll. She walks away from Tom and sits on the couch.
+
+Tom feels sad. He wants to play with Sara. He does not like to play alone. He thinks of a way to make Sara happy. He picks up the telephone and walks to the couch.
+
+"Sara, Sara, look what I have for you!" Tom says, smiling. "I have a present for you. It is a telephone. You can have it. You can call your doll and talk to her."
+
+Sara looks at Tom. She sees the telephone in his hand. She feels surprised. She thinks Tom is nice. She takes the telephone from him.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. That is very kind of you. I like the telephone. It is hard and shiny. It makes sounds and has buttons. It is fun." Sara says, smiling.
+
+"You're welcome, Sara. I'm glad you like it. Can I play with your doll? She is soft and pretty. She has hair and eyes. She is fun." Tom says, looking at the doll.
+
+"Sure, Tom. You can play with my doll. She is my friend. You can be her friend too." Sara says, handing him the doll.
+
+Sara and Tom hug each other. They are happy. They have different ways of playing, but they can share and play together. They have fun with the telephone and the doll. They are good friends.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Tim climbed up the ladder and slid down. He laughed and said, "That was fun!"
+
+Lily wanted to try too. She followed Tim up the ladder. But when she reached the top, she saw how high it was. She felt scared and said, "I don't want to slide!"
+
+Tim looked at her and said, "Don't be scared, Lily. It's easy and fun. Just sit and slide!"
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, no, no! I want to go down the ladder!"
+
+But before she could move, she slipped and fell off the slide. She landed on the ground with a thud. She cried out loud. She felt hurt.
+
+Tim heard her cry and ran to her. He saw her on the ground. He said, "Oh no, Lily! Are you okay?"
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "I'm not okay. I'm hurt. I fell off the slide. It was too high. It was too fast. It was too scary."
+
+Tim hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to make you scared. I thought you would like the slide. I like the slide. But you don't have to like the slide. You can like other things."
+
+Lily sniffed and said, "Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend. Can we play something else?"
+
+Tim nodded and said, "Yes, we can. How about the swings? They are not high. They are not fast. They are not scary. They are fun!"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the swings. Maybe I will like the swings."
+
+They got up and walked to the swings. They pushed each other and laughed. They forgot about the slide. They had fun.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play football in the park. They have a cute dog named Spot. Spot likes to chase the ball and bark.
+
+One day, they go to the park with Spot. They see a big hill. Ben says, "Let's go up the hill and see what we can see." Lily says, "OK, but be careful. The hill is steep." They hold hands and start to climb the hill.
+
+Spot follows them, wagging his tail. He sees the ball on the ground. He runs to get it. He picks it up in his mouth and tries to catch up with Ben and Lily. But the hill is too hard for him. He slips and rolls down the hill with the ball.
+
+Ben and Lily hear Spot's bark. They turn around and see him rolling down the hill. They are scared. They shout, "Spot, stop! Spot, are you OK?" They run down the hill to help him.
+
+Spot stops at the bottom of the hill. He is dizzy and dirty, but he is not hurt. He still has the ball in his mouth. He wags his tail and licks Ben and Lily's faces. They hug him and say, "Spot, you are silly. But we love you. You are a good dog." They laugh and play with him and the ball. They decide to stay on the flat ground and not go up the hill again. They have fun in the park.
+Tom loved to ride his bike. He had a red bike with two big wheels and a bell. He liked to go fast and ring his bell. He wanted to be a famous bike rider when he grew up.
+
+One day, his parent said, "Tom, do you want to go to the park and ride your bike? There is a big hill there. You can go up and down and have fun."
+
+Tom was very happy. He said, "Yes, yes, yes! Let's go to the park! I want to ride my bike on the hill!" He put on his helmet and his gloves and got on his bike.
+
+They went to the park and saw the hill. It was very high and steep. Tom was not afraid. He said, "I can do it! I can ride my bike on the hill! Watch me, parent!"
+
+He pedaled hard and went up the hill. He felt the wind in his face and the sun on his back. He reached the top and shouted, "I did it! I did it!" He looked down and saw his parent smiling and clapping.
+
+He was ready to go down the hill. He said, "Here I go! Wheee!" He let go of the brakes and zoomed down the hill. He felt like he was flying. He rang his bell and laughed.
+
+He got to the bottom and saw his parent waiting for him. His parent hugged him and said, "You are amazing, Tom! You are a famous bike rider! I am so proud of you!"

+Tom was very happy. He said, "Thank you, parent! I love you! I love to ride my bike!" He gave his parent a kiss and they went home.
+Tom was a mighty boy who liked to help his dad. His dad was a mailman who had to deliver many letters and packages to people's houses. Every morning, Tom and his dad would get in the big red truck and fill it with sacks of mail.
+
+One day, Tom asked his dad if he could deliver a sack by himself. His dad said yes, but only if he was careful and followed the rules. Tom was very happy and picked a small sack that had his name on it. He put it on his shoulder and jumped out of the truck.
+
+He walked to the first house and knocked on the door. A nice lady opened it and smiled at him. "Hello, little mailman. Do you have something for me?" she asked.
+
+Tom nodded and gave her a letter from his sack. "Here you go. Have a nice day!" he said.
+
+"Thank you, you too. You are very polite and helpful," the lady said. She gave him a cookie and a hug.
+
+Tom felt proud and happy. He said goodbye and went to the next house. He delivered all the letters and packages in his sack and returned to the truck. His dad was waiting for him and gave him a high five.
+
+"You did a great job, Tom. I'm very proud of you. You are a mighty boy and a mighty mailman," his dad said.
+
+Tom smiled and hugged his dad. He loved to help his dad and deliver mail. He hoped he could do it again soon.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. They have a network of roads and buildings with their blocks. They are loyal to each other and share their toys.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to their playroom. His name is Max. He has a big truck and a loud voice. He sees Anna and Ben's network and wants to play with it. He does not ask them. He just takes some blocks and cars and puts them in his truck. He says, "This is mine now. You have too many toys. Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They say, "No, Max! That is not nice. You cannot steal our toys. They are ours. We made them. We are friends. You are not a friend. You are mean. Give them back!"
+
+Max does not listen. He laughs and drives his truck away. He thinks he is clever and strong. He does not care about Anna and Ben's feelings.
+
+Anna and Ben run after him. They want to get their toys back. They are brave and smart. They have a plan. They find some ropes and balls. They make a trap for Max. They hide behind a couch and wait for him.
+
+Max comes back with his truck. He wants to take more toys. He does not see the trap. He drives over the ropes and balls. His truck gets stuck and falls over. His blocks and cars spill out. He is surprised and scared.
+
+Anna and Ben jump out and grab their toys. They say, "Ha, ha, Max! We got you. You are not clever and strong. You are silly and weak. You should not steal. You should ask and share. You should be a friend. Do you want to be a friend?"
+
+Max feels sorry and ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. I was wrong. I was rude and greedy. I did not know how to play with you. I want to be a friend. Can you forgive me? Can you teach me how to play with your network?"
+
+Anna and Ben smile and nod. They say, "Yes, Max. We can forgive you. We can teach you. We can be friends. But you have to be nice and fair. You have to be loyal. Do you understand?"

+Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with many pears. They wanted to eat some pears.
+
+"Look, Tom, pears! Let's get some!" Lila said.
+
+"OK, Lila, but be careful. The tree is high and the pears are far," Tom said.
+
+Lila and Tom climbed the tree. They reached for the pears. They were juicy and sweet. They ate and ate.
+
+But they did not see the wise owl. The owl lived in the tree. The owl did not like the children. The owl was angry. The owl wanted the pears for himself.
+
+The owl flew to the children. He screeched and scratched. He pecked and bit. He made them fall from the tree.
+
+Lila and Tom cried. They were hurt and scared. They ran away from the park. They never went back to the tree. They never ate pears again. The owl was happy. He had the tree and the pears for himself. The end.

+
+"But Mom, we are having fun!" Tom says. "Can we play a little more?"
+
+"No, you have to clean up now. If you do, I will read you a story when we come back from the park." Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom. What story will you read us?" Lily asks.
+
+"How about the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf?" Mom says.
+
+"Yay, I love that story!" Lily says.
+
+"But Mom, that story is fake!" Tom says. "Pigs can't build houses and wolves can't blow them down!"
+
+"That's true, Tom. It's a fake story. But it's still fun to listen to. Fake stories can teach us things, too. Like how to be brave and smart and work together." Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom. I guess fake stories are OK sometimes." Tom says.
+
+"Good. Now, hurry up and clean up your toys. Put them in the box or on the shelf. Then we can go to the park and have more fun." Mom says.

+
+One day, the sunflower is sad. It droops its head. Lily and Ben are worried. They ask the sunflower, "What is wrong?"
+
+The sunflower says, "I need water. The sun is too hot. I am thirsty."
+
+Lily and Ben run to the house. They get a bucket and a hose. They fill the bucket with water. They carry the bucket to the sunflower. They pour the water on the sunflower.
+
+The sunflower smiles. It lifts its head. It says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are reliable. You are good friends."
+
+Lily and Ben hug the sunflower. They say, "You are welcome, sunflower. You are our friend. We love you."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they find an old book on the shelf. It has many pictures of cakes and pies. They want to make a cake for Mom.
+
+They open the book and look for a recipe. They see a page that says "Secret Cake". They think it sounds fun. They read the ingredients. They need flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and chocolate. They also need a big bowl and a spoon.
+
+They sneak to the pantry and take the ingredients. They put them in the bowl. They start to mix them with the spoon. They make a big mess. The flour and sugar spill on the floor. The eggs crack and drip. The butter melts and sticks. The chocolate breaks and scatters.
+
+They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They hide the bowl under the table. They try to clean the floor. They use a towel and some water. They make more mess. The floor becomes wet and sticky.
+
+Mom opens the door. She sees Lily and Ben. She sees the mess. She is angry. She asks them what they are doing. They say they are making a secret cake. They show her the bowl. She looks inside. She sees a brown goo. She smells it. It smells bad.

+She shakes her head. She says they are not making a cake. They are making a disaster. She tells them to go to their room. She says they are in trouble. She says she will clean the kitchen. She says they will have no cake today.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They go to their room. They say they are sorry. They say they wanted to make a cake for Mom. They say they love her. They hug each other. They hope Mom will forgive them. They hope they will have cake another day.
+Lily and Ben wanted to play with the club. The club was a big stick that they found in the park. They liked to pretend that the club was a sword or a magic wand. But there was a problem. There was only one club, and they both wanted it.
+
+"Give me the club!" Lily said. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, I want the club!" Ben said. "It is mine!"
+
+They pulled and tugged on the club, but neither of them would let go. They started to yell and cry.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She was grumpy. She had a headache and she wanted some quiet. "You need to share the club, or I will take it away!"
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to lose the club. They looked at each other. They did not like to share, but they did not like to make Mom grumpy either.
+
+"Maybe we can take turns with the club," Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe we can play together with the club," Ben said.
+
+They decided to try to play together with the club. They pretended that the club was a rocket that could fly to the moon. They made zooming and beeping noises. They had fun.
+
+Mom smiled. She was happy. She saw that Lily and Ben were getting along. She gave them a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Good job, you two," she said. "You are very good at trying to share and play together. I am proud of you."

+Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy too. They liked to make Mom happy. They liked to play with the club. They liked to play with each other.
+Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. Mom said they could choose what to eat. She showed them two things. One was a turkey. It was big and brown. The other was a cheese sandwich. It was small and light.
+
+Anna liked cheese. She said, "I want the cheese sandwich, please." Mom gave her the cheese sandwich and a glass of milk. Anna was happy.
+
+Ben liked turkey. He said, "I want the turkey, please." Mom said, "OK, but you have to share it with me. It is too much for you." Ben nodded. He did not mind sharing. Mom gave him a plate with some turkey and a glass of water. Ben was happy.
+
+Anna and Ben sat down to eat. They said, "Thank you, Mom." Mom said, "You're welcome. Enjoy your lunch."
+
+Anna took a bite of her cheese sandwich. It was soft and yummy. She smiled. Ben took a bite of his turkey. It was hard and dry. He frowned. He did not like it. He wanted to eat something else.
+
+He looked at Anna's cheese sandwich. It looked good. He wanted to have some. He said, "Anna, can I have some of your cheese sandwich?" Anna said, "No, Ben. This is mine. You chose the turkey. You have to eat it."
+
+Ben was angry. He did not want to eat the turkey. He wanted to eat the cheese sandwich. He said, "No, Anna. You have to share with me. Give me some of your cheese sandwich." Anna said, "No, Ben. Go away. Leave me alone."
+
+Ben was very angry. He grabbed Anna's cheese sandwich. He tried to take it from her. Anna held on to it. She did not want to give it to him. They pulled and pulled. They shouted and cried.
+
+Mom heard them. She came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the cheese sandwich. She was angry. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You are being naughty. You are not sharing. You are wasting food. You are making a mess."
+
+She took the cheese sandwich from them. She threw it in the trash. She said, "No lunch for you. Go to your rooms. You are in trouble."
+
+Anna and Ben were sad. They were hungry. They were sorry. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had shared. They wished they had chosen better. They went to their rooms. They cried. They had a bad ending.

+
+One day, Lily saw a new girl in the pool. Her name was Mia. Mia had a big floaty that looked like a unicorn. Lily wanted to play with the unicorn. She asked Mia if she could share. Mia said no. She said the unicorn was hers and she was not going to let anyone else touch it. Mia was spoiled.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She thought Mia was mean and rude. She decided to make a plan. She waited until Mia was not looking. Then she took her pastel and drew a big smiley face on the unicorn's head. She thought it would make the unicorn look funny and happy.
+
+But Mia did not think it was funny or happy. She saw the pastel on her unicorn and she screamed. She cried and told her mom that Lily ruined her unicorn. She said Lily was bad and nasty. Mia's mom came and scolded Lily. She said Lily had to say sorry and give back the pastel.
+
+Lily did not want to say sorry or give back the pastel. She thought Mia deserved it for being spoiled. She ran away from the pool and hid behind a tree. She felt mad and sad. She wished she had a friend who would share and play with her. She wished she had a unicorn of her own.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bag on a bench. They ran to the bag and opened it. Inside, they found many pretty things: a necklace, a ring, a watch, a bracelet. They were shiny and colorful.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Lily said. "They are so delicate and nice. Let's take them home!"
+
+"No, Lily, we can't do that!" Ben said. "They belong to someone else. Maybe they forgot them here. We should wait and see if they come back."
+
+Lily did not listen to Ben. She wanted to keep the pretty things. She put them in her pocket and said, "Come on, Ben, let's go. No one will know."
+
+Ben felt bad. He knew Lily was wrong. He followed her, but he was scared. He trembled as they walked away from the park.
+
+Soon, they heard a voice behind them. It was a lady. She was crying and running. She shouted, "Stop, stop, please! That's my bag! Those are my things! I need them!"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped. They turned around and saw the lady. She looked sad and angry. She reached for her bag and saw that it was empty. She gasped and said, "Where are my things? Who took them?"
+
+Lily felt ashamed. She knew she had done a bad thing. She took out the pretty things from her pocket and gave them back to the lady. She said, "I'm sorry, lady. I took them. They were so delicate and nice. I wanted them."
+
+The lady looked at Lily and Ben. She saw that they were just children. She sighed and said, "Thank you for giving them back, but you should not have taken them in the first place. They are very important to me. They were a gift from my husband, who passed away. They remind me of him and his love. They are not toys. They are precious and priceless."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the lady. They realized that they had hurt her and her feelings. They said, "We're sorry, lady. We didn't know. We were wrong. We won't do it again."
+
+The lady smiled and said, "It's okay, children. I forgive you. But you should learn to respect other people's things and not take what is not yours. You should be honest and kind. That is the right thing to do."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, lady. We will. Thank you for teaching us."
+
+The lady hugged them and said, "You're welcome, children. Now, go and play. But remember, be good and happy."
+
+Lily and Ben said goodbye to the lady and ran back to the park. They felt happy and relieved. They had learned a valuable lesson.

+
+She picks up the scale and puts it back on the shelf.
+

+"Okay, mom. We will." Tim and Lily said.
+
+They went back to their blocks and continued to play. They made more buildings and stories with them. They forgot about the black building and had fun. They did not mention it again.

+Ben liked to play with his toy train. He had a big track that went around his room. He made the train go fast and slow, and he made it stop and go. He liked to make noises for the train, like "choo-choo" and "clack-clack".
+
+One day, he saw a new toy in the store. It was a big lion with a furry mane. It had a button on its paw that made it roar. Ben wanted the lion very much. He asked his mom if he could have it. His mom said no, because he already had many toys, and he had to save his money for something else.

+Ben was sad, but he did not cry. He was a big boy, and he was independent. He decided to make his own lion with his train. He took some yellow paper and cut out a circle for the head. He drew eyes, a nose, and a mouth with a crayon. He glued some brown yarn for the mane. He taped the paper head to the front of his train. He made a tail with more paper and yarn, and taped it to the back of his train.
+
+Now he had a lion train. He put it on his track and made it go around his room. He pressed the button on his train that made a whistle, and he pretended it was a roar. He was very happy with his lion train. He played with it all day, and he did not want any other toy. He was proud of his lion train, and he showed it to his mom. His mom smiled and hugged him. She said he was very creative and independent. Ben smiled and roared.

+
+They see a thin man in a black dress. He is standing at the front of the church. He is holding a book and talking to some people.
+
+"Who is he?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he is the boss of the church," Tom says.
+
+They go closer to listen. The thin man sees them and smiles.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Are you here to visit the church?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, sir. We live near here. We like your church. It is big and nice," Tom says.

+Anna liked to play in the garden with her dog, Spot. They liked to dig holes and bury things, like bones, toys and leaves. One day, they found a shiny stone in the dirt. Anna thought it was very pretty and wanted to keep it.
+
+"Look, Spot, a treasure!" she said, holding the stone. "Let's bury it in a secret place, so no one can find it."
+
+She looked around and saw a big hole under the fence. It was the hole that Spot had made to visit the neighbor's dog, Rex. Anna thought it was a good place to hide the stone.
+
+"Come on, Spot, let's go to Rex's garden and bury the treasure there. It will be easy and fun."
+
+She crawled under the fence, followed by Spot. They ran across the grass and found a spot near a tree. Anna dug a small hole with her hands and put the stone inside. Then she covered it with dirt and patted it down.
+
+"There, we did it, Spot. We buried the treasure. Now we have to remember where it is, okay?"
+
+She gave Spot a hug and a kiss. Then she heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing in my garden?" It was Rex's owner, Mr. Brown. He looked angry and surprised.
+
+Anna and Spot froze. They had forgotten that Mr. Brown did not like them to come to his garden. He always said they made a mess and scared his flowers.
+
+"Uh-oh, Spot, we have to go. Sorry, Mr. Brown, we were just playing. Bye!"
+
+Anna grabbed Spot and ran back to the hole under the fence. They crawled through and ran to their own garden. They hoped Mr. Brown would not find their treasure. They also hoped he would not be too mad at them. They decided to play somewhere else next time.

+
+"That is waste. People throw away things they do not want," Mia says.
+
+"Why do they do that? They should keep them or give them to someone else," Sam says.
+
+"I do not know. Maybe they are lazy or do not care," Mia says.
+
+They notice a man walking towards the bin. He has a bag full of cans and bottles. He opens the bin and dumps his bag inside.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Sam shouts. "You should not do that!"
+
+The man looks at Sam and Mia. He frowns and says, "Mind your own business, kid. This is none of your concern."
+
+"Yes, it is. You are making the park dirty and hurting the animals and plants. You should recycle your cans and bottles, not waste them," Mia says.
+
+"Recycle? What is that?" the man asks.
+
+"It means you give them to a special place where they make them into new things. It is good for the earth and saves money," Mia says.
+
+The man scratches his head. He looks at his bag and the bin. He says, "Really? I did not know that. Where can I find this special place?"
+
+Sam and Mia smile. They say, "We can show you. Come with us. There is a recycle bin near the entrance. It is green and has a sign on it."
+
+The man nods. He says, "Okay, thank you. You are very smart and kind. I will try to recycle from now on."

+
+The sack opens. Out comes a big, loud, angry dog. It has sharp teeth and red eyes. It wants to bite Ben and Mia. It jumps at them and barks.

+Lisa was a healthy girl who liked to play outside with her friends. She also liked to read books and learn new things. But one day, she felt very hot and had a sore throat. Her mom took her to the doctor, who said she had a fever and gave her some medicine.
+
+"Lisa, you need to rest and drink a lot of water," her mom said. "The medicine will help you get better, but you have to take it every day."
+
+Lisa nodded and went to her room. She did not feel like playing or reading. She just wanted to sleep on her soft pillow. She took the medicine and lay down on her bed.
+
+The next day, Lisa felt a little better, but still hot and tired. Her mom checked her temperature and saw that it was still high.
+
+"Lisa, your fever did not go down," her mom said. "We have to increase your medicine. The doctor said you can take two spoons instead of one."
+
+Lisa did not like the medicine. It tasted bad and made her stomach hurt. But she knew she had to take it to get well. She opened her mouth and let her mom give her the medicine.
+
+"Good girl," her mom said. "Now try to sleep some more. I will bring you some soup later."
+
+Lisa closed her eyes and hugged her pillow. She hoped the medicine would work and she would feel healthy again soon. She missed her friends and her books. She dreamed of playing outside in the sun.

+
+"Come on, Sam, let's climb the wall. It will be fun," Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom, it is too high. We might fall and hurt ourselves. Mom said we should not climb the wall. It is dangerous," Sam said.
+
+Tom did not listen to Sam. He thought Sam was stupid and scared. He wanted to show Sam that he was brave. He said, "I dare you to climb the wall with me. If you don't, you are a chicken."
+

+
+Tom laughed and said, "Too late, Sam. You have to climb the wall. You can't go down. You are a chicken. You are stupid."
+
+Sam felt angry and sad. He did not like Tom anymore. He said, "No, Tom, you are stupid. You are mean. You are not my friend."

+
+Mom hugged the boys and said, "I am glad you are sorry. I love you, but you have to be careful and smart. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. You have to be kind and respectful to each other. You have to be good friends. Do you understand?"

+Lila liked to help her mom in the garden. She watered the plants and pulled out the weeds. She was very happy when she saw the radishes growing under the ground. They were red and round and crunchy.
+

+
+She saw one that was very big and shiny. She reached for it, but then she stopped. She remembered that her mom had planted that radish for her dad. Her dad loved radishes and he worked very hard. Lila wanted to be honest and not take what was not hers.

+
+"Lily, where were you?" Mom said. "I told you to stay in the yard. What were you doing?"
+
+Lily was sorry. She broke her promise. She told Mom everything. She told her about Tom and the hole and the woods and the bones and the skull.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm glad you told me the truth. That was very brave of you. But you should never go to the woods alone. It is dangerous. There are wild animals and sharp things and germs. You could get hurt or sick. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I forgive you. But you have to promise me one thing. Never go with Tom again. He is a bad friend. He does not care about you. He only cares about himself. He is sour."
+
+Lily agreed and said, "I promise, Mom. I don't like Tom anymore. He is sour. I like you. You are sweet."
+Lily loved to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw wonderful things. She dreamed of flying with birds, swimming with fish, and playing with fairies. She always felt happy in her dreams.
+
+One night, she dreamed of a big storm. The sky was dark and angry. The wind was loud and scary. The rain was cold and bitter. Lily felt sad and afraid. She wanted to go home, but she did not know how.
+
+She saw a bright spot in the storm. It was a big umbrella. It was red and yellow and blue. It looked like a rainbow. Lily ran to the umbrella. She hoped it would keep her dry and warm.
+
+"Hello, little girl," a voice said. "Do you need help?"
+
+Lily looked up. She saw a friendly face under the umbrella. It was a clown. He had a big nose, a big smile, and big shoes. He looked funny and kind.
+
+"Yes, please," Lily said. "I want to go home. I don't like this storm. It makes me sad."
+
+"Don't worry, little girl," the clown said. "I can help you. Just hold my hand and follow me. I know a way out of this storm. It's a secret, but I'll tell you. You have to say a magic word."
+
+"What is the magic word?" Lily asked.
+
+The clown whispered in her ear. "The magic word is 'dream'."
+
+Lily repeated the word. "Dream."
+
+Suddenly, the storm stopped. The sky was clear and bright. The wind was soft and gentle. The rain was gone. Lily felt happy and safe.
+
+She opened her eyes. She was in her bed. She saw her mom and dad. They smiled at her.
+
+"Good morning, Lily," they said. "Did you have a good sleep?"
+
+"Yes, I did," Lily said. "I had a wonderful dream. I met a clown with a big umbrella. He helped me escape from a storm. He told me a magic word."
+
+"What was the magic word?" they asked.
+
+Lily smiled. "The magic word was 'dream'."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys and they took them out one by one. They had cars, dolls, balls, and blocks. They had fun making noises, pretending, and building.
+
+But then Lily saw a shiny ring in the box. She picked it up and put it on her finger. It was very pretty and sparkly. She smiled and showed it to Tom.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a ring! It is mine now!" she said.
+
+Tom frowned. He did not like that. He wanted the ring too. He reached for it and tried to take it from Lily.
+
+"No, Tom, it is mine! You have many toys, let me have this one!" Lily said. She pulled her hand away and ran to the other side of the garden.
+
+Tom was angry. He was grumpy. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He wanted the ring. He had an idea. He took a shovel and dug a hole in the ground. He took the rest of the toys and buried them in the hole. He covered them with dirt and grass. He smiled and said to himself, "Now Lily has no toys. She will be sorry. She will give me the ring."
+
+Lily came back to the box. She wanted to play with the toys again. But she saw that the box was empty. There were no toys left. She looked around and saw Tom sitting on the grass. He was holding the shovel and smirking.
+
+"Tom, where are the toys? What did you do?" Lily asked. She was scared and sad.
+
+"I buried them. They are gone. You can't have them. You can only have the ring. But I want the ring. Give it to me!" Tom said. He got up and walked towards Lily.
+
+Lily was shocked. She did not like that. She did not want to give up the ring. She did not want to lose the toys. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She ran to the house and called for Mom.
+
+"Mom, Mom, Tom buried the toys! He is mean! He wants my ring! Help me!" Lily cried.
+
+Mom heard Lily and came out of the house. She saw Lily and Tom. She saw the empty box and the hole. She was not happy. She was grumpy.
+
+"Tom, Lily, what is going on? Why did you bury the toys? Why are you fighting over the ring? That is not nice. That is not how you play. You have to share and be kind. Come here, both of you. We need to talk." Mom said.
+
+She took the ring from Lily and the shovel from Tom. She made them sit on the porch and explain what happened. She scolded them and taught them a lesson. She made them apologize and hug. She made them dig up the toys and clean them. She made them put the ring back in the box. She made them play nicely and say sorry.

+Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going on a safari with their mom and dad. They wanted to see lions and elephants and zebras. They got in the big car and drove to the park.
+
+"Look, there is a giraffe!" Lily said, pointing out the window. "It is so tall and has spots."
+
+"And there is a monkey!" Ben said, seeing a furry animal on a tree. "It is so funny and has a long tail."
+
+They saw many animals and took pictures. They had a picnic and ate sandwiches and fruits. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, something scary happened. They heard a loud roar and saw a big lion running towards them. It had sharp teeth and claws. It looked angry and hungry.
+
+"Mom, dad, what do we do?" Lily and Ben cried, hugging each other.
+
+"Don't worry, kids, we are safe in the car," mom said, trying to calm them. "Dad, drive away, fast!"
+
+Dad tried to start the car, but it did not work. He looked at the dashboard and saw a red light. The car had a problem.
+
+"Oh no, the car is broken!" dad said, feeling worried. "We have to reverse and get out of here!"
+
+He pushed a button and the car made a beep. He moved a stick and the car made a vroom. He turned the wheel and the car moved backwards. He reversed the car away from the lion.
+
+The lion was confused and stopped. It did not like the noise and the smoke. It turned around and ran away.
+
+Lily and Ben sighed in relief. They were safe. They thanked dad for reversing the car.
+
+"Wow, dad, you are so brave and smart!" Lily and Ben said, hugging him.
+
+"Thank you, kids, but it was not easy," dad said, smiling. "I'm glad we are okay. Let's go back to the gate and get some help."
+
+They drove back to the gate and found a man who could fix the car. They told him what happened and showed him their pictures. He was amazed and said they had a very exciting safari.
+
+They agreed and laughed. They had a very exciting safari, indeed.
+Lily wanted to be a pilot. She loved to watch the big planes in the sky and pretend she was flying them. She had a toy plane that she played with every day. She made it zoom and loop and land on her bed.
+
+One day, her brother Max took her toy plane. He wanted to play with it too. He did not ask Lily. He just grabbed it and ran away. Lily was very angry. She chased Max and shouted, "Give me back my plane! It is mine!"
+
+Max did not listen. He threw the plane in the air and tried to catch it. But he missed. The plane fell on the floor and broke. One of the wings snapped off. Max was scared. He knew Lily would be very sad.
+
+Lily saw what happened. She ran to the plane and picked it up. She saw the broken wing. She felt a big hurt in her heart. She started to cry. She looked at Max and said, "You are very bad! You broke my plane! I hate you!"
+
+Max felt sorry. He did not mean to break the plane. He wanted to play with Lily. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not want to hurt you. I was silly. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily was still crying. She was very frustrated. She loved her plane. She did not want to forgive Max. But she saw his face. He looked very sad too. He was her brother. She loved him. She said, "OK, Max. I forgive you. But you have to be careful. You have to ask before you take my things. And you have to help me fix my plane."
+
+Max nodded. He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. I love you. I will help you fix your plane. And I will not take your things without asking. I promise."
+
+Lily smiled. She hugged Max back and said, "I love you too. You are my brother. And maybe one day, we can both be pilots."

+
+One day, Tom saw Sam on the branch and said, "Come, fly with me. It is fun and good for you. You will see many things and make many friends." But Sam said, "No, thank you. I like to stay here. Flying is too hard and tiring. I do not need to see anything or make friends."
+
+Tom felt sorry for Sam, but he did not give up. He said, "Please, try it once. You will like it. I will help you. Just flap your wings and follow me." But Sam said, "No, no, no. I do not want to try it. I do not want to flap my wings or follow you. Leave me alone."
+
+Tom was sad, but he did not force Sam. He said, "Okay, I will leave you alone. But I hope you will change your mind someday. Flying is wonderful. You are missing out on a lot." He flew away with his friends.
+
+The next day, Tom and his friends flew over a pass. A pass is a place where two hills meet and there is a gap. It was a beautiful place. They saw flowers and trees and animals and water. They sang and played and enjoyed the view.
+
+But Sam did not see the pass. He did not see anything. He was still on the branch. He was still lazy. He was still bored and lonely. He wished he had flown with Tom. He wished he had tried something new. He wished he had made some friends. He realized he had made a mistake.
+
+He decided to fly. He decided to flap his wings and follow Tom. He decided to see the pass and have some fun. He decided to be brave and not lazy. He hoped it was not too late.

+
+"I want to wear a coat and a hat too," Ben says. He looks for a coat and a hat in the wardrobe. He finds a blue coat and a red hat. He tries to put them on, but they are too small. He pulls and tugs, but they do not fit.

+
+Mom and Dad ran to his room. They turned on the light. They looked under the bed. They did not see any monster. They only saw a toy truck.

+
+"But I heard a growl. It was loud and scary. It was not my toy truck. It was a monster. I know it." Ben said.
+
+"Maybe you heard your tummy growl. Sometimes, when you are hungry, your tummy makes noises. Remember, you did not finish your dinner. You said you were not hungry. Maybe you are hungry now." Dad said.
+
+Ben thought about it. He did not finish his dinner. He did not eat his carrots. He did not like carrots. He was a little hungry. Maybe his tummy did growl.
+
+"Sorry, Mom and Dad. I was afraid. I did not mean to scream. Can I have a snack?" Ben said.
+
+"Of course, you can have a snack. And then, you can go back to sleep. We will leave the light on for you. And we will check on you later. There is no monster under your bed. You are safe. We love you." Mom and Dad said.

+
+"Look, Lily, this is the biggest banana tree ever!" Tom said. "Let's get some bananas and share with our friends."
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful. The tree is very tall and the branches are very thin. We don't want to fall and hurt ourselves." Lily said.
+
+Tom and Lily climbed the tree and picked some bananas. They put them in a big leaf and tied it with a vine. They were ready to go back to their friends. But then, they heard a loud roar. It was a lion who smelled the bananas and wanted to eat them.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted. "The lion is coming!"
+
+Tom and Lily sprang from the tree and ran as fast as they could. They dragged the leaf with the bananas behind them. They hoped to reach their friends and hide from the lion. But the lion was faster and stronger. He caught up with them and pounced on them.

+
+"Look at me, Mommy!" Lily said, spinning around. "I'm a princess!"
+
+The friends smiled and said how cute Lily was. But Lily's mom looked surprised and a little angry. She saw that Lily was wearing her new dress, the one she was saving for a special party. And she saw that Lily had broken one of her earrings.
+
+"Lily, what have you done?" her mom said, getting up. "You can't wear my clothes and shoes. You can't break my things. You have to ask me first. Go back to your room and take them off. Now!"
+
+Lily felt very bad. She did not mean to make her mom mad. She did not know the dress and the earrings were special. She just wanted to have fun and make her mom happy. She felt her face get hot and her eyes get wet. She was embarrass.
+
+She ran back to her room, crying. She took off the hat, the dress, and the earrings. She looked at herself in the mirror. She did not feel pretty anymore. She felt sad and sorry. She wished she could say sorry to her mom and make her happy again.

+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and loved to dig holes. One day, Tom and Sam found a shiny box in one of the holes that Spot had dug. They opened the box and saw many coins and jewels inside.
+
+"Wow, we are rich!" Tom said. "Let's take the box to our room and hide it."
+
+"No, that's foolish," Sam said. "Someone might see it and take it away. Let's bury it again and come back later."
+
+Tom did not listen to Sam. He wanted to keep the box for himself. He ran to the house with the box and locked the door. Sam followed him and knocked on the door.
+
+"Tom, open the door! You are being selfish and greedy!" Sam said.
+
+But Tom ignored him. He put the box under his bed and went to take a shower. He wanted to wash off the dirt from the hole. He thought he was very clever and happy.
+
+But he was wrong. While he was in the shower, Spot smelled the box under the bed. He thought it was a toy and dragged it out. He chewed on the box and broke it open. He scattered the coins and jewels all over the floor. He made a big mess.
+
+When Tom came out of the shower, he saw what Spot had done. He was very angry and sad. He had lost his treasure. He cried and shouted at Spot.
+
+"Bad dog! Bad dog! You ruined everything!"
+
+But Spot did not understand. He wagged his tail and licked Tom's face. He thought Tom was playing with him.
+
+Sam heard Tom's cry and came to see what happened. He saw the mess and the broken box. He felt sorry for Tom, but he also felt angry.
+
+"Tom, I told you to bury the box again. You were foolish and greedy. You did not share with me or anyone. You only cared about yourself. And now you have nothing."
+
+Tom realized his mistake. He felt ashamed and sorry. He hugged Sam and Spot and said,
+
+"Sam, Spot, I'm sorry. I was foolish and greedy. I should have listened to you and shared with you. Can you forgive me?"

+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big pond with many animals. They see ducks, fish, frogs and turtles. They want to feed the animals.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have some bread. Let's fill our hands with bread and give it to the animals," Lily says.
+
+"OK, Lily, that sounds fun. But be careful, some animals might bite," Ben says.
+
+They walk to the pond and break the bread into small pieces. They throw some pieces to the ducks and the fish. The ducks and the fish come closer and eat the bread. They make happy noises.
+
+"Quack, quack, thank you, kids," the ducks say.
+
+"Blub, blub, yum, yum," the fish say.
+
+Lily and Ben smile and laugh. They throw some more pieces to the frogs and the turtles. The frogs and the turtles are shy. They hide under the water or in their shells.
+
+"Come on, frogs and turtles, don't be scared. We have some bread for you too," Lily says.
+
+"Maybe they are not hungry, Lily. Maybe they are full," Ben says.
+
+Then they see a smart animal. It is a squirrel. The squirrel is on a tree branch. It sees the bread and wants some too. It jumps from the branch and runs to the pond. It grabs a piece of bread and runs back to the tree. It does this many times.
+
+"Wow, look at that squirrel, Ben. It is so smart and fast. It knows how to get the bread," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, Lily, it is very smart. But it is also greedy. It takes all the bread and leaves none for the other animals," Ben says.
+
+They watch the squirrel eat the bread. They feel sorry for the other animals. They decide to stop feeding the animals and play something else. They leave the pond and go to the swings. They have fun on the swings. They forget about the squirrel and the bread.

+
+Tom was confused. He did not know what to do with the weight. He wanted to play with it, but it did not seem to want to play with him. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he had a friend to whistle with.
+
+Then he heard a noise. It was a bird. A little bird with red and yellow feathers. It was sitting on a branch near the garage. It looked at Tom and the weight. It opened its beak and whistled.

They whistled all kinds of songs, from happy to sad. They whistled so much that Tom's mom and dad called them Whistling Tom and Whistling Red.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to mix and stir and pour. She liked to smell the tasty food that mom made. But mom always told her, "Do not touch the oven. It is very hot and can hurt you."
+
+One day, mom was making a cake for Lily's birthday. She put the cake in the oven and set the timer. Then she went to the living room to get some candles and plates. Lily stayed in the kitchen. She was curious about the cake. She wanted to see how it looked. She climbed on a chair and peeked through the oven window. She saw the cake rising and browning. It looked so yummy. She wanted to touch it.
+
+She reached for the oven handle. She forgot what mom said. She did not know it was hot. She touched the oven and felt a sharp pain. She screamed and let go. She fell off the chair and started to cry. Mom heard her and ran to the kitchen. She saw what happened and hugged Lily. She put some ice on her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You burned yourself. You should have listened to me. Do not touch the oven. It is very hot and can hurt you."
+
+Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was silly. I wanted to touch the cake. I did not listen to you. I will not touch the oven again." Mom said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you.

+"Look at my red car, it's the fastest!" Ben says, zooming his car past Lila's blue one.
+
+"No, mine is faster, watch this!" Lila says, pushing her car harder.
+
+They race their cars to the fence, but Lila's car hits a rock and flies in the air. It lands on the other side of the fence, where there is a big fire.
+
+"Uh oh, my car!" Lila cries, running to the fence.
+
+"Don't go there, it's hot and bad!" Ben says, following her.
+
+They see Lila's car near the fire, but they can't reach it. The fire makes bright sparks that fly up and down. They are pretty, but scary.
+
+"Is my car gone?" Lila asks, feeling sad.
+
+"Maybe not, maybe it's just dirty," Ben says, trying to cheer her up.
+
+They hear a loud siren and see a big truck coming. It has a hose and a ladder and a lot of people. They are firefighters, and they are here to stop the fire.
+
+"Hey, kids, stay back, it's dangerous!" one of the firefighters says, waving at them.
+
+He sees Lila's car and picks it up. He brings it to them and smiles.
+
+"Here you go, little lady, your car is safe. It's a bit charred, but it's harmless. You're lucky it didn't catch fire," he says, handing her the car.

+
+"Help! Help!" Sue shouts. She cries. She looks for someone to help Tom. But no one is in the park. They are alone with the dog.
+

+They hurry down the hill and run to their house. They see mom waiting for them at the door. She is not angry or scared. She is happy and proud. She hugs them and listens to their story. She says they did a good job and she is glad they had fun. She says they can go to the hill again, but only with her or dad. Anna and Ben agree. They are tired and hungry, but they are also happy and proud. They had a big adventure in the sunshine.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the snow. They liked to make snowmen and snowballs. Sara had a red coat and Tom had a blue coat. They were very warm and happy.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a big stick!" Sara said. She picked up the stick and waved it in the air. "I can mark the snow with it. See?" She drew a smiley face on the white ground.
+
+"Wow, that's cool, Sara!" Tom said. He took the stick from Sara and made a star next to the smiley face. "Can I keep the stick?"
+
+"Sure, Tom, you can keep the stick. But be careful, it's icy and sharp. Don't hurt yourself or anyone else with it." Sara warned him.
+
+Tom nodded. He put the stick in his coat pocket. He felt proud of his new toy. He forgot what Sara said.
+
+They continued to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a carrot nose and a hat. They threw snowballs at each other and laughed. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Tom tripped over a rock and fell down. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw blood on his blue coat. The stick had poked him through his pocket. He started to cry.
+
+"Sara, Sara, help me!" Tom shouted. He was scared and hurt.
+
+Sara heard Tom and ran to him. She saw the blood and the stick. She remembered what she said. She felt sorry and scared too.
+
+"Oh, Tom, I'm so sorry! I should have taken the stick from you. It was too icy and sharp. Come on, let's go home. Mom will help you." Sara said. She hugged Tom and helped him get up. She threw the stick away.
+
+They walked home slowly. They left behind their snowman and their marks on the snow. They learned a lesson. They never played with icy sticks again.
+Tim and Jen were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a mug in the kitchen that had a picture of a bear on it. They both wanted the mug, but there was only one.
+
+"I saw it first!" Tim said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Jen said. "I like bears more!"
+
+They started to pull the mug from each other, but they were not careful. The mug slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces.
+
+"Oh no!" Tim and Jen said. "The mug is gone!"
+
+They felt very sad and sorry. They had made a big mess and lost a nice mug. They also hurt each other's feelings.
+
+Mom came into the kitchen and saw what happened. She was not happy.
+
+"Tim and Jen, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you fight over the mug?"
+
+"We both wanted it, Mom," Tim said.
+
+"But we broke it, Mom," Jen said.
+
+Mom shook her head. "You were selfish and greedy. You did not share or take turns. You did not think about the mug or each other. You only thought about yourselves. You made the mug suffer. You made yourselves suffer. You made me suffer."
+
+Tim and Jen felt ashamed. They knew Mom was right. They had been bad.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," they said. "We were wrong. We will not do it again."
+
+Mom hugged them. "I forgive you, but you have to learn from this. The mug was just a thing. It did not matter who had it. What mattered was how you treated it and each other. You have to be kind and generous. You have to respect and love. That is what makes you happy. That is what makes me happy."
+
+Tim and Jen nodded. They understood. They helped Mom clean up the mess. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that fighting over things is bitter. They learned that sharing and caring is sweet.
+Lily was playing with her doll in the garden. She liked to pretend that her doll was a princess and she was her friend. She made a crown for her doll with flowers and grass.
+
+Suddenly, she heard a loud noise. She looked up and saw a big dog running towards her. The dog was barking and showing its teeth. Lily was scared. She dropped her doll and ran to the house.
+
+"Mama, mama, help!" she cried. "There is a big dog in the garden!"
+
+Her mama came out and saw the dog. She recognized the dog. It was the neighbor's dog, Rex. He had escaped from his yard.
+
+"Rex, stop!" she shouted. "Go home, Rex!"
+
+The dog stopped and looked at her. He wagged his tail and ran back to his yard. He did not want to hurt Lily. He just wanted to play.
+
+Lily's mama hugged her and checked her for injuries. She saw a small scratch on her leg.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" she asked. "Does it hurt?"
+
+Lily nodded. She felt some pain in her leg. But she did not cry.
+
+"You are very brave, Lily," her mama said. "I am proud of you. Let me put a band-aid on your scratch. It will make it better."
+
+Lily smiled and thanked her mama. She picked up her doll and hugged it.
+
+"Can we play in the garden again, mama?" she asked.
+
+"Of course, my dear," her mama said. "But next time, be careful of Rex. He is a friendly dog, but he is also very big and strong. He might not know how to play gently with you."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She loved animals, but she also knew how to be safe. She was a brave and smart girl.
+Ben was not sleepy. He wanted to play with his toys, but Mom said it was time for bed. She gave him a kiss and turned off the light. Ben waited until he heard Mom go downstairs. Then he got out of bed and went to his closet. He had a flashlight and a cape. He wanted to be a ghost.
+
+He put on the cape and turned on the flashlight. He peeked out of the closet and saw his teddy bear on the bed. He decided to scare the teddy bear. He made a spooky sound and waved the flashlight. The teddy bear did not move. Ben was disappointed. He peeked out of the closet again and saw his toy car on the floor. He decided to scare the toy car. He made another spooky sound and waved the flashlight. The toy car did not move. Ben was frustrated.
+
+He peeked out of the closet one more time and saw his sister's door across the hall. He had an idea. He decided to scare his sister. He was a persistent ghost. He crept out of the closet and tiptoed to his sister's door. He opened it slowly and saw his sister sleeping in her bed. He smiled and raised the flashlight. He was about to make the spookiest sound ever, when he heard a loud voice behind him.
+
+"Boo!"
+
+Ben jumped and dropped the flashlight. He turned around and saw his dad standing in the hallway. He was wearing a mask and holding a broom. He had scared Ben instead. Ben felt silly and scared. He ran to his dad and hugged him. His dad took off the mask and laughed.
+
+"Gotcha, little ghost!" he said. "Now, let's go back to your bed. It's way past your bedtime."
+
+Ben nodded and followed his dad. He took off the cape and put away the flashlight. He climbed into his bed and cuddled with his teddy bear. He was not sleepy anymore. He was tired. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of friendly ghosts.
+True is a dog. He likes to chew. He chews his toys, his bones, and sometimes his bed. He is happy when he chews.
+
+One day, True's mom brings home a new toy for him. It is a big, soft, yellow duck. True is very excited. He runs to the duck and sniffs it. He likes how it smells. He picks it up with his mouth and shakes it. He likes how it squeaks.
+
+True takes the duck to his bed. He wants to chew it. He bites the duck's head, then its wing, then its tail. He likes how it feels. He chews and chews and chews.
+

+
+True's mom hears the squeak and the rip. She comes to see what happened. She sees True and the duck. She sees the hole and the white thing. She is not happy. She says, "True, what did you do? You broke your new toy. You can't chew it anymore. It's not good for you."
+
+True looks at his mom. He looks at the duck. He feels sorry. He drops the duck and whines. He wants to say he is sorry. He wants to say he likes the duck. He wants to say he didn't mean to break it.
+
+True's mom sees True's face. She sees he is sorry. She feels sorry too. She says, "It's okay, True. I know you didn't mean to break it. I know you like to chew. But you have to be careful with your toys. Some toys are not for chewing. Some toys are for playing."
+
+She picks up the duck and the white thing. She says, "Maybe I can fix the duck. Maybe I can sew the hole. Maybe you can play with the duck again. But you can't chew it. You have to be gentle with it. Do you understand?"
+
+True nods. He understands. He wants to play with the duck again. He wants to be gentle with it. He licks his mom's hand. He says, "Woof." He means, "Thank you." He means, "I love you." He means, "I'm sorry."

+
+One day, Lily heard a ring at the door. She ran to see who it was, holding Anna in her arms. She opened the door and saw a man with a bag. He was the mail man. He smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. I have a letter for you."
+
+Lily was surprised and curious. She took the letter from the mail man and said, "Thank you, mail man. Who is the letter from?"
+
+The mail man said, "It's from your grandma. She lives far away, but she loves you very much. She wrote you a letter to say hello and send you a hug."
+
+Lily was happy and excited. She said, "I love grandma too. She is very nice and gives me cookies. Can I open the letter now?"
+
+The mail man said, "Of course you can, Lily. It's your letter. Have a nice day, Lily. Bye bye."
+
+Lily said, "Bye bye, mail man." She closed the door and ran to the living room. She sat on the couch and opened the letter. Inside, there was a card with a picture of a flower and a heart.

+
+Lily felt warm and happy. She hugged Anna and said, "Look, Anna. Grandma sent us a letter. She loves us very much. Isn't that nice?"
+
+Anna nodded and smiled. Lily said, "Let's write a letter back to grandma. We can tell her about our dolls and our games. We can draw a picture of us and our castle. Grandma will be happy to get our letter."

+Tom and Anna went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Tom liked the lions best, because they were big and loud. Anna liked the monkeys best, because they were funny and playful.
+
+Then they came to the ostriches. The ostriches were very tall and had long necks and legs. They had feathers, but they could not fly. They ran very fast and ate grass and seeds. Tom and Anna wanted to feed them, but Mom and Dad said no. They said the ostriches might bite or kick.
+
+One ostrich was very curious. It came close to the fence and looked at Tom and Anna. It stretched its neck and pecked at Tom's hat. Tom was scared and cried. He dropped his hat and ran to Mom. The ostrich picked up the hat with its beak and ran away.
+
+"Hey, that's my hat!" Tom shouted. "Give it back, you mean ostrich!"
+
+Anna felt sorry for Tom. She had a sack with some bread and carrots. She took out a carrot and threw it over the fence. The ostrich saw the carrot and dropped the hat. It ran to the carrot and ate it. Anna threw another carrot and the ostrich followed it. She threw more carrots until the ostrich was far away from the hat.
+
+"Quick, Tom, get your hat!" Anna said. Tom ran to the fence and picked up his hat. He was happy and hugged Anna.
+
+"Thank you, Anna, you are very nice!" Tom said.
+
+"You're welcome, Tom, I love you!" Anna said.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and praised Anna for being clever and kind. They said they were proud of both of them. They gave them a big hug and a kiss. Then they went to see more animals. Tom and Anna had a lot of fun at the zoo.
+Anna liked to help her mom make soup. She would attach the lid to the pot and stir the soup with a big spoon. She liked to smell the soup and taste it when it was ready.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to make soup by herself. She found a pot and some water and put them on the stove. She looked for things to put in the soup. She saw some cookies, some cheese, some grapes and some milk. She thought they would make a good soup.
+
+She attached the lid to the pot and turned on the stove. She waited for a while and then opened the lid. The soup looked strange and smelled bad. She tried to stir it, but it was sticky and lumpy. She tasted it, but it was sour and bitter. She spat it out and felt upset.
+
+She heard her mom coming and quickly turned off the stove. She hid the pot under the sink and ran to her room. She hoped her mom would not find out about her soup.
+
+But her mom smelled something funny and looked for the source. She found the pot under the sink and opened it. She saw the soup and felt upset. She wondered what Anna had done and why she had wasted the food.
+
+She went to Anna's room and knocked on the door. She asked Anna to come out and talk to her. She wanted to explain to Anna why her soup was not good and how to make soup the right way. She also wanted to hug Anna and tell her that she loved her.
+Tom and Anna wanted to swim in the lake. They put on their swimsuits and got in the car with Mom and Dad. They were very excited and impatient.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Tom asked.
+
+"Soon, honey. Just a few more minutes," Mom said.
+
+Anna looked out the window and saw trees and cows and birds. She liked to see new things. She pointed at a big red barn and said, "Look, Tom, a barn!"
+
+Tom nodded, but he was bored. He wanted to swim, not look at barns. He asked again, "Are we there yet?"
+
+"Yes, we are!" Dad said. He parked the car near the lake and opened the door. "Come on, kids, let's go swim!"
+
+Tom and Anna jumped out of the car and ran to the water. They splashed and laughed and had fun. Mom and Dad joined them and played with them. They swam and swam until they were tired and hungry.
+
+"Time to go home, kids," Mom said. "We have sandwiches and cookies for you in the car."
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They dried themselves with towels and put on their clothes. They got in the car and ate their sandwiches and cookies. They were happy and sleepy.
+
+"Did you have fun, kids?" Dad asked.
+
+"Yes, we did!" Tom and Anna said. "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
+
+They hugged their parents and closed their eyes. They dreamed of swimming in the lake again.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to Lily's house. Lily's mom says they can have some juice. She brings two glasses of juice and puts them on the table.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They drink some juice and talk. Lily sees a funny book on the shelf. She wants to show it to Tom. She gets up and takes the book. She forgets about her glass of juice.
+
+Tom sees Lily's glass of juice. He is thirsty. He thinks Lily does not want it. He takes her glass and drinks it. He likes the juice. He does not see Lily coming back.
+
+Lily comes back with the funny book. She wants to share it with Tom. She looks for her glass of juice. She does not see it. She sees Tom holding her glass. He has drunk all her juice.
+
+Lily is angry. She thinks Tom is mean. She yells at him. She says he is a bad friend. She snatches the book from his hand. She hits him with the book. Tom is hurt. He cries. He says he is sorry. He did not know it was her juice.
+
+Lily's mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Lily and Tom fighting. She is sad. She scolds them. She says they are not nice. She takes away the book and the glass. She sends them to their rooms. She says they cannot play together anymore.
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They wish they had not fought. They wish they had shared the juice and the book. They wish they had been good friends. They have a bad ending.
+Lila was a girl who liked to touch everything. She touched the flowers, the rocks, the leaves, and the bugs. She wanted to know how they felt and what they did. But sometimes, touching was not good.
+
+One day, she saw a mosquito on her arm. It was small and black and had wings. Lila thought it was a pretty bug. She wanted to touch it and see if it tickled. She did not know that the mosquito was bad. It wanted to bite her and make her itch.
+
+Lila reached out her finger and touched the mosquito. But the mosquito did not like that. It bit her hard and flew away. Lila felt a sting and a bump on her arm. She cried and ran to her mom.
+
+Her mom saw the bite and put some cream on it. She hugged Lila and said, "I'm sorry, honey. You should not touch mosquitoes. They are not nice bugs. They can make you sick and weak. You should only touch things that are safe and gentle."
+
+Lila learned her lesson. She still liked to touch things, but she was more careful. She did not touch mosquitoes or other bad bugs. She touched only things that made her happy and healthy. She was a smart and strong girl.
+Sara and Ben like to collect shells on the beach. They have a big bucket and they fill it with shiny and pretty shells. They are jolly and happy as they look for more shells.
+
+But then they see another boy with a bigger bucket. He has more shells than them and he is not jolly. He is mean and greedy. He sees Sara and Ben's bucket and he runs to them.
+
+"Give me your shells!" he says. "They are mine! I want them all!"
+
+Sara and Ben are scared and sad. They do not want to give their shells to the mean boy. They worked hard to collect them and they like them very much.
+
+"Please, no!" Sara says. "These are our shells! We found them first! You have your own bucket!"
+
+The mean boy does not listen. He tries to grab their bucket and pull it away. Sara and Ben hold on tight and they shout for help.
+
+A big man hears them and he comes to see what is wrong. He is the mean boy's dad. He sees his son being rude and he is angry.
+
+"Stop that right now!" he says. "You cannot take their shells! That is not nice! You have to share and be kind!"
+
+He makes his son give back the shells he took and he says sorry to Sara and Ben. He tells his son to go and play somewhere else and to leave them alone.
+
+Sara and Ben are relieved and grateful. They thank the big man and they smile at each other. They have their shells back and they have peace. They are jolly and happy again. They continue to collect shells on the beach.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and a hat. Sara liked to make Lily do things, like talk, dance, and sing.
+
+One day, Sara and her mom went to the store. Sara saw a big display of dolls. There were many dolls, but one was different. It was a lady doll. The lady doll had short hair, a blue suit, and glasses. Sara thought the lady doll looked smart and nice.
+
+Sara asked her mom if she could have the lady doll. Her mom said no. She said they had enough dolls at home, and the lady doll was too expensive. Sara was sad. She wanted the lady doll more than any other doll. She thought Lily would like to have a friend who was a lady.
+
+Sara did not give up. She tried to think of a way to get the lady doll. She had an idea. She took Lily from her bag and put her on the display. She hoped someone would see Lily and want to buy her. Then she could use the money to buy the lady doll.
+
+But no one saw Lily. Everyone looked at the other dolls, the regular dolls. Sara waited and waited, but no one noticed Lily. Sara started to worry. What if someone took Lily and she never saw her again? What if Lily was lonely and scared? Sara realized she loved Lily more than any other doll, even the lady doll.
+
+Sara ran back to the display and grabbed Lily. She hugged her and said sorry. She said she would never leave her again. She said Lily was the best doll in the world. Lily smiled and said she loved Sara too.
+
+Sara and her mom left the store. Sara did not look at the lady doll anymore. She was happy with Lily. She knew Lily was not a regular doll. She was a special doll. And Sara was a special girl.
+Lily and Tom were excited to play with the new toy. It was a big ball that could hang from a wire. They wanted to swing on it and jump on it and have fun.
+
+They took the toy to the backyard and looked for a place to hang it. They saw a big tree with a long wire. The wire was shiny and thin. They thought it was perfect for the toy.
+
+They tied the toy to the wire and climbed on the tree. They took turns to swing on the ball and laugh. They did not see the sign on the wire. The sign said "Danger! High voltage!"
+
+The wire was not for toys. It was for electricity. It was very hot and strong. It could hurt people and animals.
+
+When Lily was swinging on the ball, she touched the wire with her hand. She felt a big shock. She screamed and fell to the ground. Tom saw her and was scared. He ran to help her, but he also touched the wire. He felt a big shock too. He screamed and fell to the ground.
+
+The toy was still hanging from the wire. It was smoking and burning. The wire was sparking and crackling. Lily and Tom were not moving. They were not breathing. They were not playing. They were not excited. They were dead.
+Anna and Ben like to play soccer with their friends. They have a big ball and two goals. They run and kick the ball to each other. They try to score in the other team's goal.
+
+Sometimes, Anna and Ben are competitive. They want to win the game. They do not like to share the ball. They do not pass the ball to their friends. They only pass the ball to each other.
+
+Their friends are not happy. They do not have fun. They say, "Anna and Ben, please pass the ball. We want to play too. It is not fair if you keep the ball."
+
+Anna and Ben hear their friends. They feel sorry. They remember that playing is fun when everyone can join. They say, "Sorry, friends. You are right. We will pass the ball. We want to play with you."
+
+They start to pass the ball to their friends. They take turns to kick and score. They cheer and clap for each other. They have fun. They are not competitive anymore. They are good teammates.

+
+Then, he heard a soft meow. He followed the sound. He saw a big tree with a hole. He part the branches and peeked inside. He saw the cat! The cat was stuck in the hole. The hero smiled and reached his hand. The cat was happy and jumped on his hand. The hero hugged the cat and said, "I found you!"
+
+He took the cat out of the hole and walked back to the forest path. He saw his friend waiting for him. His friend was worried and cried, "Where were you? Where is my cat?"

You are my best friend!" The hero and his friend hugged and laughed. The cat purred and licked their faces. They were all happy and went home. The forest was not gloomy anymore. It was bright and sunny.

+
+One time, Lily kicked the ball very hard and it flew towards the red goal. But the red player who was the goalie jumped and caught the ball. He saved the goal and threw the ball to his friend. Lily was sad and Sam was angry.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Sam shouted. "You have more players than us. You should let us have one of yours."
+
+The red goalie looked at Sam and thought for a moment. He was a generous player and he wanted to have a fun game. He called his friend who was the smallest on the team and said, "You can go and play with the blue team. They need your help."
+
+The small red player ran to the blue team and smiled. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. I can play with you now. Let's score some goals!"
+
+Lily and Sam were happy and thanked Ben. They gave him a blue shirt and welcomed him to their team. They played together and had a lot of fun. The game was more balanced and everyone enjoyed it. The red goalie was glad that he was generous and made the game better.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to Ben's house. Ben's house is modern. It has big windows and bright colors. Lily likes Ben's house.
+
+Ben shows Lily his room. He has many toys and books. He says, "Do you want to play with me?" Lily nods. She sees a big train on the floor. She likes trains. She says, "Can I play with the train?" Ben says, "Yes, you can. It is my favorite toy. It can make sounds and move."
+
+They play with the train for a long time. They make it go fast and slow. They make it stop and go. They have fun. They laugh and talk. After a while, they feel hungry. They say, "We want a snack."
+
+Ben's mom hears them. She says, "Okay, I have a snack for you. Come to the kitchen." They go to the kitchen. Ben's mom has two plates. On each plate, there is a sandwich, a banana, and a cookie. She says, "Here you go. Enjoy your snack. But be careful, do not bite your fingers."

+Lily and Ben say, "Thank you, Ben's mom." They sit at the table. They eat their snack. They like the sandwich, the banana, and the cookie. They do not bite their fingers. They are careful. They say, "This is a good snack. We are happy."
+
+They finish their snack. They say, "Can we play some more?" Ben's mom says, "Yes, you can. But first, wash your hands and say please." They wash their hands. They say, "Please, can we play some more?" Ben's mom says, "Yes, you can. Go back to Ben's room. But do not make a mess."
+
+They go back to Ben's room. They play with the train again. They also play with other toys and books. They are good friends. They have a good day.
+Lily liked to ride the subway with her mom. She liked to see the big trains and the people and the lights. She liked to hear the loud noises and feel the fast movement. She liked to hold her mom's hand and sit on her lap.
+
+One day, Lily saw a man with a big box on the subway. He looked angry and sad. He put the box on the floor and said, "Don't touch this. It's fragile. It's very important to me." Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was in the box. She thought maybe it was a toy or a present.
+
+When the man was not looking, Lily sneaked to the box and opened it. She saw a beautiful glass vase with flowers. It was shiny and colorful. Lily liked it very much. She wanted to touch it and smell it. She reached for the vase, but it was too heavy for her. She dropped it and it broke into many pieces. The flowers fell out and the water spilled.
+
+The man heard the crash and turned around. He saw his vase shattered and his flowers ruined. He was very angry and sad. He yelled at Lily and said, "You stupid girl! You broke my vase! It was fragile! It was very important to me! It was a gift for my wife who is sick. She is suffering and I wanted to make her happy. Now you ruined everything!"
+
+Lily was scared and sorry. She did not mean to break the vase. She did not know it was fragile. She did not know it was a gift for a sick wife. She did not know what suffering meant. She started to cry and ran to her mom. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You made a mistake. You did not know. But you should not touch things that are not yours. You should ask before you open things. You should be careful with things that are fragile. You should be kind to people who are suffering. You should say sorry to the man and help him clean up."
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She went to the man and said, "I'm sorry, mister. I did not know. I did not mean to break your vase. I did not mean to make you sad. I did not mean to make your wife suffer. Can I help you clean up?" The man looked at Lily and saw her sad face and her big eyes. He felt a little less angry and a little more sorry. He said, "It's okay, little girl. I know you did not know. I know you did not mean to. But you should be more careful and more respectful. You should learn from your mistake. You should be more gentle with things that are fragile. You should be more compassionate with people who are suffering. Thank you for saying sorry and for helping me clean up." He gave Lily a small smile and a pat on the head.
+
+Lily and the man cleaned up the mess and threw away the broken pieces. Lily gave the man a hug and said, "I'm sorry again, mister. I hope your wife gets better soon. I hope she is not suffering too much. I hope you can find another gift for her. I hope you can make her happy." The man hugged Lily back and said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very sweet and brave. I hope you learn from this experience. I hope you grow up to be a good and kind person. I hope you are happy too." They said goodbye and parted ways.

+Lily and her mom got off the subway and went home. Lily told her mom what she learned today. She learned that some things are fragile and need to be handled with care. She learned that some people are suffering and need to be treated with kindness. She learned that saying sorry and helping out can make a difference. She learned that mistakes can be forgiven and lessons can be learned. She learned that riding the subway can be fun and educational. She learned that she loved her mom and her mom loved her. She was happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes.
+
+"Look, our snowman is done!" Sara says. "He is very big and nice."
+
+"Yes, he is," Ben says. "But he looks lonely. He needs a friend."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea. "Let's make a snow dog for him!" she says. "We can use sticks for legs and ears, and a ball for a tail."
+
+"Good idea!" Ben says. "Let's do it!"
+
+They start to roll more snow to make the snow dog. They join the snow balls together to make the body and the head. They find some sticks and a ball and add them to the snow dog. They make him a collar with some yarn.
+
+"Wow, he is very cute!" Sara says. "Now our snowman has a friend."
+
+"Yes, he does," Ben says. "But he looks cold. He needs a coat."
+
+Sara looks around. She sees her dad's old coat hanging on the fence. She runs to get it. She puts it on the snowman. She also finds a pair of gloves and a hat. She puts them on the snow dog.
+
+"There, now they are warm and cozy," Sara says. "They look very happy."
+
+"Yes, they do," Ben says. "But we are cold and hungry. Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate."
+
+"Good idea!" Sara says. "Let's do it!"
+
+They run inside the house. They leave their snowman and snow dog outside. They hope they will not melt. They join their mom in the kitchen. She has made some hot chocolate and cookies for them.
+
+"Wow, you made a wonderful snowman and snow dog!" Mom says. "They are very creative and fun."
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Sara and Ben say. "They are our new friends."
+
+They sit down and enjoy their hot chocolate and cookies. They feel their icy knees and fingers warm up. They smile and hug each other. They are very happy.
+Tom and Lily went to the lake with their dad. He was a fisherman and he had a big boat. He also had a hairy face and a hat. Tom and Lily liked to watch him catch fish with his rod and net.
+
+One day, they saw a big fish jump out of the water. It was shiny and had a long tail. "Wow, look at that fish!" Tom said. "Can we catch it, dad?"
+
+Dad smiled and said, "That's not a fish, that's a dolphin. They are very smart and friendly. They like to play in the water and make noises."
+
+Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to see the dolphin closer. They asked dad if they could go on the boat with him. Dad said yes, but they had to wear life jackets and stay close to him.
+
+They got on the boat and dad started the engine. They went near the dolphin and saw it swim around them. It seemed to like them and it made squeaky sounds. Tom and Lily laughed and waved at the dolphin. They felt happy and excited. They had a fun day at the lake with dad and the dolphin.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. There were many boxes and bags and books and toys. Some of them were very dusty and broken, but some of them were still nice and shiny.
+
+Tom saw a big chest in the corner. It was made of wood and had a thick lock on it. He wanted to see what was inside. He ran to the chest and tried to open it. But it was too heavy and hard. He pulled and pushed and kicked, but the chest did not move.
+
+"Help me, Mia!" he shouted. "I want to open the chest!"
+
+Mia came to him and looked at the chest. She saw that it had a keyhole on the lock. She wondered where the key was. She looked around and saw a small box on a shelf. She climbed on a chair and reached for the box. She opened it and found a shiny key inside.
+
+"Tom, I found the key!" she said. "Maybe it can open the chest!"
+
+She jumped down from the chair and ran to the chest. She gave the key to Tom and he put it in the keyhole. He turned it and heard a click. He lifted the lid and saw many beautiful things inside. There were clothes and jewels and pictures and letters. They were very old and colorful.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "These are grandma's treasures!"
+
+He and Mia took out some of the things and tried them on. They felt like they were in a fairy tale. They laughed and played and forgot about everything else.
+
+But they did not hear the door of the attic shut behind them. It was their grandma who came to check on them. She saw the open chest and the mess they made. She was very angry and sad. She wanted to keep her treasures safe and secret. She locked the door and went downstairs.
+
+"Tom, Mia, where are you?" she called. "It's time for lunch!"
+
+But Tom and Mia did not answer. They did not know that they were trapped in the attic. They did not know that they had to say sorry to their grandma. They did not know that they had to shut the chest and put everything back. They only knew that they had fun.
+Lily was going to visit her aunt with her mom and dad. Her aunt lived in a big house far away. Lily did not see her aunt very often. She was a distant aunt. Lily was a little scared of her aunt. She did not know what to say to her.
+
+When they got to the big house, Lily's mom and dad rang the bell. Lily's aunt opened the door. She smiled and hugged them. She looked at Lily and said, "Hello, Lily. You are so big and pretty. Do you remember me?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not remember her aunt. She hid behind her mom's leg. She felt shy.
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, this is your aunt. She is my sister. She loves you very much. She has a present for you. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked presents. She let go of her mom's leg and followed her aunt inside. Her aunt took her to a room with many toys. She gave Lily a big box with a bow. Lily opened it and saw a doll. The doll had long hair and a pink dress. Lily liked the doll. She hugged it and said, "Thank you, aunt."
+
+Her aunt said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. You know, this doll reminds me of you. You have the same hair and eyes. You are both very beautiful."
+
+Lily smiled. She felt happy. She did not feel scared of her aunt anymore. She said, "You are nice, aunt. I like you."
+
+Her aunt said, "I like you too, Lily. You are a sweet girl. Do you want to play with me and the doll?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please."
+
+They played together for a long time. Lily had fun with her aunt and the doll. She learned more about her aunt. She found out that her aunt liked to read books and sing songs. She also liked to bake cookies and make crafts. Lily liked those things too. She felt closer to her aunt. She was not a distant aunt anymore. She was a good aunt. Lily was glad she visited her aunt. She hoped to see her again soon.
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with some ducks and fish. Sara wanted to get closer and feed them some bread. Tom was scared and said, "No, Sara, don't go there. There might be a crocodile in the water. It can bite you and hurt you."
+
+Sara did not listen to Tom. She said, "You are silly, Tom. There is no crocodile here. Only ducks and fish. They are nice and cute. I want to give them some bread." She ran to the edge of the pond and threw some bread into the water.
+
+Suddenly, a big, green, scaly head popped out of the water. It had sharp teeth and a long snout. It was a crocodile! It saw Sara and opened its mouth wide. Sara was very scared and screamed. Tom ran to help her and pulled her back. The crocodile snapped its jaws and missed Sara by a hair.
+
+Sara and Tom ran away from the pond as fast as they could. They were both pale and shaking. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry, we are sorry. We should have listened to you, Tom. You were right. There was a crocodile in the water. It was very bad and mean. We are lucky to be alive."
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and not to go near dangerous places. They learned to listen to their friends and not to be stubborn. They learned to respect the animals and not to bother them. They never went back to the pond again. They played in the park with other toys and games. They were happy and safe.
+Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play with their cart. It was a bright red cart with four wheels and a handle. They would take turns pushing and riding the cart in the park.
+
+One day, they saw a big hill in the park. They wanted to go down the hill with their cart. Jill said, "Let me go first. I am older than you by two minutes." Tom said, "No, let me go first. I am stronger than you." They argued and fought over the cart.
+
+A nice lady who was walking her dog saw them and said, "Why don't you share the cart? You can both go down the hill together. It will be more fun and safe." But Jill and Tom did not listen to her. They wanted to have the cart all to themselves.
+
+Jill pushed Tom away and grabbed the cart. She ran to the top of the hill and got on the cart. She said, "Bye, Tom. I will pass you and win the race." She let go of the handle and zoomed down the hill.
+
+But the hill was too steep and the cart was too fast. Jill could not control the cart. She screamed as the cart hit a rock and flipped over. She fell off the cart and hurt her head and arm. She cried and cried.
+
+Tom ran to her and said, "Are you okay, Jill? I am sorry we fought. I should have let you go first." He hugged her and tried to comfort her. The nice lady and her dog came to help them. She called their mom and dad and took them to the hospital.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Fighting is not nice. Listen to grown-ups who want to help you. Be careful when you play.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the kitchen. They wanted to bake a cake for their mom, who was coming home soon. They found a box of cake mix and a fake egg in the cupboard. They thought the fake egg was real and put it in a bowl with the cake mix and some water. They stirred it with a spoon and poured it in a pan.
+
+"Let's put it in the oven," Ben said. "Mom will be so happy."
+
+They turned on the oven and put the pan inside. They did not know how long to bake it, so they waited and waited. They smelled something bad and saw smoke coming out of the oven. They ran to the door and screamed for help.
+
+Dad came running and saw the fire in the oven. He grabbed a towel and opened the oven. He took out the pan and threw it in the sink. He turned off the oven and opened the window. He was very angry and scared.
+
+"What did you do?" he yelled at Lily and Ben. "You could have burned the house down!"
+
+Lily and Ben started to cry. They did not mean to make a fire. They wanted to make a cake.
+
+"We used a fake egg," Lily sobbed. "We thought it was real."
+
+Dad looked at the fake egg and saw that it was made of plastic. He realized that it was a toy that he had bought for them as a joke. He felt sorry for them, but he was still mad.
+
+"That was a very bad idea," he said. "You should never play with the oven or use things that are not food. You could have hurt yourselves or others. You are in big trouble."
+
+He took them to their room and told them to stay there until mom came home. He did not give them a hug or a kiss. Lily and Ben felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had never tried to bake a cake. They wished they had a real egg.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big mark on the wall. It is red and blue and yellow. It looks like a flower.

+
+"Can we join?" Tom says. He wants to make a mark too. He likes to draw with crayons.

+
+But Mom is not happy. She sees the mark on the wall. She is angry. She does not like the mark on the wall. She thinks it is messy.
+
+"Who made the mark on the wall?" Mom asks.
+
+Tom, Sam and Lily look at each other. They are scared. They are slow.
+
+They do not say anything.
+Tom liked to play with his drum. He had a big drum that made loud noises when he hit it with his sticks. He liked to make up songs and sing them with his drum. He felt happy when he played with his drum.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to play with his drum with his friends. He asked his mom if he could take his drum to the park. His mom said yes, but he had to be careful and share his drum with others. Tom said okay and put his drum in his wagon. He pulled his wagon to the park.
+
+At the park, Tom saw his friends Anna and Ben. They were playing with a ball and a kite. Tom said hello and asked if they wanted to play with his drum. Anna and Ben said yes and ran to his wagon. They took turns hitting the drum and singing songs. Tom was glad that he included his friends in his drum play.
+
+But then, a boy named Sam came to the park. He saw Tom's drum and wanted to play with it. He did not ask Tom or his friends. He just grabbed the drum and ran away. Tom, Anna and Ben were angry and sad. They chased Sam and asked him to give back the drum. Sam said no and stuck out his tongue. He said the drum was his now.
+
+Tom, Anna and Ben did not like Sam. He was mean and rude. They decided to make a plan. They found some lemons and squeezed them into a cup. They added some water and sugar and stirred it. They made lemonade. They went to Sam and offered him some lemonade. Sam said yes and took a sip. But he did not know that they did not put enough sugar. The lemonade was very sour. Sam made a funny face and spit out the lemonade. He said the lemonade was bad and threw the cup. He also dropped the drum.
+
+Tom, Anna and Ben were happy. They got back the drum and taught Sam a lesson. They said Sam should not take things that are not his and should be nice to others. Sam said sorry and ran away. Tom, Anna and Ben hugged and played with the drum again. They had fun and shared the drum. They felt happy when they played with the drum.
+Lily was a dog who liked to pull. She pulled on her leash when she went for walks with her owner, Tom. She pulled on her toys when she played with them. She pulled on the curtains when she was bored.
+
+One day, Tom took Lily to a new park. There were many other dogs and people there. Lily saw a big ball on the grass. She wanted to pull it. She ran to the ball and bit it with her teeth. She tried to pull it, but it was too heavy. She pulled harder and harder, but the ball did not move.
+
+Then, Lily heard a loud noise. She looked up and saw a huge balloon in the sky. It was the same color as the ball. It had a basket under it with people inside. Lily realized that the ball was not a ball, but a part of the balloon. She had tried to pull the balloon down!
+
+The people in the basket saw Lily and waved at her. They shouted, "Hello, dog! What are you doing?" Lily was scared and let go of the balloon. She ran back to Tom, who was laughing. He hugged Lily and said, "You are a very unusual dog, Lily. You tried to pull a balloon! But I love you anyway." Lily wagged her tail and licked Tom's face. She was happy to have such a nice owner.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with sand and rocks. They wanted to climb it.
+
+"Let's go up there!" Ben said. "Maybe we can see the whole park!"
+
+"OK!" Lily said. "But be careful. The rocks are sharp and the sand is loose."
+
+They started to climb the hill. They used their hands and feet to find good places to hold on. They were almost at the top when they heard a loud noise.
+
+"ROAR!"
+
+They looked up and saw a big lion. It had yellow fur and a long mane. It had big teeth and claws. It was standing on the edge of the hill. It looked angry.
+
+"Help!" Lily and Ben screamed. They were very scared. They wanted to run away, but they were too high.
+
+The lion jumped down from the hill. It landed in front of them. It opened its mouth and roared again.
+
+"ROAR!"
+
+Lily and Ben closed their eyes and waited for the lion to eat them. But nothing happened. They opened their eyes and saw the lion licking them. It was not angry. It was friendly. It was not a real lion. It was a big toy lion.
+
+"Surprise!" a voice said. It was their dad. He had put the toy lion on the hill as a joke. He wanted to make them laugh.
+
+"Dad!" Lily and Ben said. They were not scared anymore. They were happy. They hugged their dad and the toy lion.
+
+"Did I scare you?" their dad asked. "I'm sorry. I thought it would be fun."
+
+"It was fun!" Lily and Ben said. "But it was also scary. You are very good at making surprises."
+
+They all laughed and went down the hill. They played with the toy lion in the park. It was warm and sunny. They had a good time.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But they are very tired. They go to school every day and do homework. They need a holiday.
+
+One day, their mom says, "We are going on a holiday! We will go to the beach and see the sea and the sand. We will have fun and relax. Are you happy?"
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They pack their bags and get in the car. They sing songs and look out the window. They are excited to see the beach.
+
+But when they get to the beach, they see a big sign. The sign says, "No swimming. Sharks in the water. Be alert." Sara and Ben are sad. They want to swim and splash and make sandcastles. They do not want to see sharks. They are scared.
+
+They go to their mom and say, "Mom, we do not like this beach. We want to swim and play. We do not want to be alert. Can we go to another beach?"
+
+Their mom hugs them and says, "I am sorry, my loves. This is the only beach near our hotel. We cannot go to another beach. But we can do other things. We can walk on the sand and collect shells. We can fly a kite and eat ice cream. We can watch the sunset and the stars. We can still have fun and relax. Will you try?"
+
+Sara and Ben think for a moment. They do not want to be sad on their holiday. They want to have fun and relax. They nod and say, "OK, mom. We will try. But can we see the sharks from far away?"
+
+Their mom smiles and says, "Yes, we can. But only from far away. And only if we are alert."
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and chase each other. They pretended to be animals, like lions and zebras. Sometimes Lily was the lion and Max was the zebra. Sometimes Max was the lion and Lily was the zebra.
+
+One day, they decided to have a race. They wanted to see who was faster. They lined up at the big tree and counted to three. Then they ran as fast as they could to the swing. Lily was ahead of Max. She was very fast. Max tried to catch up, but he could not. He was very tired.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Max shouted. "I give up. You win. You are the fastest."
+
+Lily heard Max and slowed down. She turned around and saw him sitting on the grass. He looked sad. She ran back to him and gave him a hug.
+
+"Hey, don't be sad," she said. "You are a good runner too. And you are a good friend. Let's play something else. Do you want to go on the slide?"
+
+Max smiled and nodded. He got up and held Lily's hand. They walked to the slide and had fun. They forgot about the race. They were happy.
+Tom liked to play pirate with his toy ship and his hat. He had a big map that showed where the treasure was. He wanted to show his map to his friend Lily, who lived next door. He put his map in his pocket and ran to Lily's house.
+
+Lily was happy to see Tom. She liked to play pirate too. She had a toy sword and a patch. She said, "Let's play pirate in the yard. I have a big box that we can pretend is a treasure chest." Tom said, "OK, but I have something better. I have a real map that shows where the treasure is. Come and see."
+
+Tom and Lily went to the yard. Tom took out his map and opened it. He said, "Look, this is where the treasure is. We have to follow the X." Lily looked at the map. She saw that it was very old and had holes and stains. She said, "This is not a real map. This is a dirty paper. You are lying. You are a bad pirate."
+
+Tom felt sad and angry. He said, "No, this is a real map. My grandpa gave it to me. He was a real pirate. He told me stories about the treasure. You are a mean pirate. You are not my friend." He grabbed his map and ran away.
+
+Lily felt sorry and confused. She said, "Wait, Tom. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just joking. Please come back. Let's play pirate together." She ran after Tom.
+
+But Tom did not stop. He ran across the street. He did not look both ways. He did not see the big car that was coming fast. The car hit Tom and made a loud noise. Tom fell down and did not move. His map flew out of his hand and landed on the ground. Lily saw what happened and screamed. She ran to Tom and cried. She said, "Tom, Tom, please wake up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I want to see your map. I want to play pirate with you. Please, Tom, please." But Tom did not answer. He was gone. The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But Ben saw a big dog near the fence. He wanted to pet the dog. He ran to the dog and said, "Hello, doggy!"
+
+The dog did not like Ben. The dog barked and growled and showed his teeth. The dog bit Ben on his arm. Ben cried and cried. He felt a lot of pain. Anna ran to Ben and hugged him. She was very scared and sad.
+
+A lady came to help them. She had a bandage in her bag. She wrapped the bandage around Ben's arm. She said, "You need to go to the doctor. The dog might have germs. The bandage will stop the blood."
+
+Anna and Ben went to the doctor with the lady. The doctor looked at Ben's arm. He said, "The dog was very bad. He hurt you a lot. You need to have a shot. The shot will make you better."
+
+Ben did not want to have a shot. He was very anxious. He said, "No, no, no! I don't want a shot! It will hurt more!" He tried to hide behind Anna. But the doctor was stronger. He held Ben's arm and gave him a shot. Ben screamed and screamed. He hated the shot. He hated the dog. He hated the park. He wished he never saw the dog. He wished he stayed with Anna on the swing. He wished he had a good day. But he had a bad day. A very bad day.
+Jen and Tom liked to play with blocks. They made towers and bridges and castles with the blocks. One day, they found a new kind of block in the toy box. It was soft and white and cold. Jen and Tom wondered what it was.
+
+"Let's make a tower with it!" Tom said. He took the white block and put it on top of a red block. Jen took another white block and put it on top of a blue block. They stacked the blocks higher and higher until they had a tall tower.
+
+"Wow, look at our tower!" Jen said. "It's so big and unusual!"
+
+But then, something strange happened. The white blocks started to drip and wet the other blocks. The tower became wobbly and shaky. Jen and Tom watched in surprise as their tower fell down.
+
+"What's happening?" Tom asked. "Why are the white blocks melting?"
+
+Jen touched one of the white blocks. It was wet and cold and sticky. She tasted it. It was sweet and yummy.
+
+"I know what it is!" Jen said. "It's ice cream! Someone put ice cream in the toy box!"
+
+Tom tasted a white block too. He smiled and licked his lips.
+
+"Yum, you're right!" he said. "It's ice cream! Let's eat it before it melts more!"
+
+Jen and Tom forgot about their tower and ate the ice cream. They laughed and enjoyed the unusual treat. They didn't mind that their tower was gone. They had a new game to play: ice cream blocks!
+Anna loved books. She liked to go to the library with her mom and dad. She could find many books with pictures and stories. She could learn new things and have fun.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big mess in the library. Some people did not put the books back on the shelves. Some books were on the floor or on the tables. Anna felt sad. She wanted to help the library.
+
+She asked her mom and dad if she could clean the library. They said yes, but she had to be careful and gentle with the books. Anna nodded. She picked up the books from the floor and the tables. She looked at the numbers and letters on the books and the shelves. She matched them and put the books in the right places.
+
+The librarian saw Anna and smiled. She thanked Anna for her help. She said Anna was a sweet and helpful girl. She gave Anna a sticker and a bookmark. Anna felt happy. She liked to clean the library. She learned that cleaning was good and kind. She hugged her mom and dad and said she loved them and the library.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They share a room and a big bed. They also have a soft blanket that they both love. But sometimes they quarrel over the blanket. They pull and tug and shout.
+
+"Give me the blanket! It is mine!" Anna says.
+
+"No, it is mine! You had it last night!" Ben says.
+
+They are both envious of each other. They do not want to share the blanket. They do not care if they hurt each other.
+
+One night, their mom hears them quarreling. She is sad and angry. She goes to their room and takes away the blanket.
+
+"Enough! You two are being very selfish and rude. You do not deserve this blanket. You will sleep without it tonight. Maybe then you will learn to be kind and generous." She says.
+
+Anna and Ben are shocked and scared. They do not want to sleep without the blanket. They feel cold and sorry. They look at each other and feel ashamed.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. I was wrong. You can have the blanket." Anna says.
+
+"I am sorry, too, Anna. I was wrong. You can have the blanket." Ben says.
+
+They hug and apologize. They realize that they love each other more than the blanket. They ask their mom to forgive them and give them back the blanket. Their mom is happy and proud. She gives them back the blanket and tucks them in.
+
+"Good night, Anna and Ben. I love you both. Remember, sharing is caring. And caring is loving." She says.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and nod. They cuddle with the blanket and each other. They fall asleep peacefully. They do not quarrel over the blanket anymore.
+Lily liked to be playful. She liked to run and jump and laugh with her friends. She liked to play games and make jokes and have fun. She liked to go to parties and eat cake and open presents.
+
+But one day, Lily had to go to a party that she did not like. It was at a big house with many people. The people were loud and busy and did not play with her. The games were boring and hard and did not make her laugh. The cake was dry and bland and did not taste good. The presents were not for her and did not interest her.
+
+Lily felt sad and lonely and angry. She did not want to be at the party. She wanted to go home and play with her toys and her dog. She wanted to quit the party and leave. But her mom said no. She said they had to stay and be polite and thank the host. She said they could not quit the party and hurt the host's feelings.
+
+Lily did not care about the host's feelings. She only cared about her own feelings. She did not listen to her mom. She ran away from the party and hid in the garden. She found a swing and a slide and a sandbox. She played by herself and felt a little better.
+
+But then she heard a voice. It was a boy from the party. He had followed her and found her. He said his name was Ben and he was playful too. He said he did not like the party either and he wanted to quit. He said he liked the swing and the slide and the sandbox. He asked if he could play with her.
+
+Lily looked at him and smiled. He had a friendly face and a funny hat. He seemed nice and fun. She nodded and said yes. She said her name was Lily and she was playful too. She said they could play together and quit the party. They became friends and had their own party in the garden. They ran and jumped and laughed. They played games and made jokes and had fun. They ate berries and cookies and shared presents. They did not care about the big house and the loud people. They only cared about each other and their feelings. They were happy and playful and did not quit.
+Anna likes to help her mom bake. Mom lets Anna put on a white apron and a white hat. Anna feels like a chef. Mom shows Anna how to mix flour, sugar, eggs and milk in a big bowl. Anna stirs and stirs with a wooden spoon. Mom says, "Good job, Anna!"
+
+Mom pours the batter into a cake pan. She puts the pan in the oven. The oven is hot. Mom says, "We have to wait for the cake to bake. It will take some time. Do you want to play with your toys?" Anna nods. She goes to her room and plays with her dolls and blocks.

+After a while, Anna hears a beep. Mom says, "The cake is done!" Anna runs to the kitchen. Mom opens the oven and takes out the cake. The cake is brown and smells yummy. Mom puts the cake on a rack to cool. She says, "We have to wait for the cake to cool. Then we can put frosting and sprinkles on it. Do you want to help me?" Anna nods. She loves frosting and sprinkles.
+
+Mom and Anna make frosting with butter, sugar and vanilla. They spread it on the cake with a knife. They sprinkle red and green and yellow and blue sprinkles on the cake. The cake looks pretty. Mom says, "The cake is ready! We can eat it now. Do you want a slice?" Anna nods. She is hungry and excited.
+
+Mom cuts a slice of cake for Anna and a slice for herself. They sit at the table and eat the cake. The cake is soft and sweet and delicious. Anna says, "Mmm, this is the best cake ever! Thank you, Mom!" Mom says, "You're welcome, Anna! You are a great helper. I love you!" They hug and smile. The cake is gone. The end.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play hide and seek in the park. Sara is good at hiding. Ben is good at finding.
+
+One day, they play hide and seek with their mom. Mom says, "I will count to ten. You go and hide." Sara and Ben run to find a good spot. Sara sees a big tree. She runs behind it. Ben sees a slide. He runs under it.
+
+Mom counts to ten. She says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the park. She sees a little buckle on the slide. She thinks, "Is that Ben?" She walks to the slide. She bends down. She peeks under the slide. She sees Ben. She says, "I found you, Ben!"
+
+Ben laughs. He says, "You are good, Mom!" He gets out from under the slide. He hugs Mom. He says, "Where is Sara?"
+
+Mom says, "Let's find Sara together." They look around the park. They see a big tree. They think, "Is that Sara?" They walk to the tree. They go around it. They peek behind it. They see Sara. They say, "We found you, Sara!"
+
+Sara smiles. She says, "You are good, too, Mom and Ben!" She gets out from behind the tree. She hugs Mom and Ben. She says, "That was fun!"
+
+Mom says, "You are both good at hiding and finding. I love you, Sara and Ben!" Sara and Ben say, "We love you, too, Mom!" They hold hands. They go home. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles and looked for shells. One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It had many flags and people on it.
+
+"Wow, look at that boat!" Ben said. "I wish I had a boat like that."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "Maybe we can make one with the sand."
+
+They worked hard to make a sand boat. They used sticks for the mast and leaves for the sails. They put some shells on the boat for decoration. They were very proud of their sand boat.
+
+"Let's go inside and show Mom and Dad," Ben said. "They will love our boat."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "But we have to come back soon. The tide will come and wash our boat away."
+
+They ran inside and showed their parents their sand boat. Mom and Dad smiled and praised them.
+
+"That's a very nice boat," Mom said. "You are very creative."
+
+"Thank you," Ben and Lily said.
+
+"Can we go back and play with our boat?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful," Dad said. "The tide is coming in. Don't go too close to the water."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and ran back to the beach. They saw their sand boat was still there, but the water was getting closer.
+
+"Look, the tide is coming," Lily said. "We have to move our boat to a higher place."
+
+They tried to lift their sand boat, but it was too heavy. The sand was wet and sticky. The boat started to break apart.
+
+"Oh no, our boat is falling apart," Ben said. "What can we do?"
+
+They looked around and saw a boy and a girl playing nearby. They had a bucket and a shovel.
+
+"Maybe they can help us," Lily said. "Let's ask them."
+
+They ran to the other children and asked them for help.
+
+"Hi, we made a sand boat, but the tide is coming and it's falling apart," Lily said. "Can you help us move it to a higher place?"
+
+The boy and the girl looked at their sand boat and shook their heads.
+
+"No, we can't help you," the boy said. "That's not a real boat. That's just a pile of sand. It's ugly and silly."
+
+"Yeah, and we don't want to share our bucket and shovel with you," the girl said. "They are ours. Go away."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They didn't like the other children. They were mean and selfish.
+
+"Fine, we don't need your help," Ben said. "We can make another boat. A better boat. Come on, Lily, let's go."
+
+They walked away from the other children and looked for another spot to make a new sand boat. They found some more sticks and leaves and shells. They started to make a new sand boat.
+
+But soon, the tide came and reached their new sand boat. The water was strong and fast. It washed away their new sand boat.
+
+"Oh no, not again," Lily said. "Our new boat is gone too."
+
+They felt sad and frustrated. They worked hard to make two sand boats, but they both were gone.
+
+They looked at the other children and saw their bucket and shovel were also gone. The tide had taken them too.
+
+"Ha, look at them," Ben said. "They lost their bucket and shovel. They are not so smart now."
+
+"Yeah, they should have shared with us," Lily said. "Then we could have helped each other."
+
+They felt a little happy to see the other children lose their things. They thought they deserved it.
+
+But then, they saw the other children crying. They looked scared and sad. They had nothing to play with.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry for them. They remembered how they felt when they lost their sand boats. They didn't like that feeling.
+
+"Maybe we shouldn't be happy to see them cry," Ben said. "Maybe we should be kind to them."
+
+"Maybe you're right," Lily said. "Maybe we should give them something to make them feel better."
+
+They looked around and saw some flowers and rocks. They picked some flowers and made a necklace. They found some rocks and made a face.
+
+"Let's give them these," Ben said. "Maybe they will like them."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "Maybe they will be nice to us too."
+
+They walked to the other children and gave them the necklace and the face.
+
+"Hi, we made these for you," Ben said. "We're sorry you lost your bucket and shovel. We know how it feels to lose something you like."
+
+The other children looked at them and stopped crying. They took the necklace and the face and smiled.
+
+"Thank you," the boy said. "These are very pretty. You are
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's rush to the slide!" Lily says. She runs fast. Ben runs fast too. They are playful and happy.
+
+They get to the slide. They take turns to go down. They laugh and scream. They have fun.
+
+Then they see a girl with a bow in her hair. She is sad. She sits on a bench. She has no one to play with.
+
+"Who is she?" Ben asks. He points to the girl.
+
+"I don't know," Lily says. "Maybe she is new. Maybe she wants to play with us."
+
+"Let's go and say hi," Ben says. He and Lily walk to the girl. They smile.
+
+"Hi, we are Lily and Ben. What is your name?" Lily asks.
+
+The girl looks up. She sees Lily and Ben. She sees their friendly faces. She feels a little better.
+
+"Hi, I am Mia. I just moved here. I have no friends," she says.
+
+"You can be our friend," Ben says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Mia nods. She likes Lily and Ben. They are nice and playful.
+
+"Come on, let's go to the slide!" Lily says. She takes Mia's hand. Ben takes Mia's other hand. They rush to the slide together.
+
+They play on the slide. They laugh and scream. They have fun. Mia forgets her sadness. She is happy.
+
+She has a bow in her hair. She has two new friends. She has a good day.
+Tim and Sue were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a lady with a big bag. The bag had many toys and books and candy. Tim and Sue wanted the bag.
+
+They ran to the lady and said, "Give us your bag! We want your bag!"
+
+The lady was scared and angry. She said, "No! This is my bag! Go away!"
+
+Tim and Sue did not listen. They tried to grab the bag from the lady. The lady pulled the bag back. They pulled and pulled and pulled.
+
+The bag broke. The toys and books and candy fell out. The lady cried. Tim and Sue laughed.
+
+A big dog saw the candy. The dog was hungry and fast. The dog ran to the candy and ate it. The dog also saw Tim and Sue. The dog did not like them. The dog barked and bit them.
+
+Tim and Sue screamed. They were hurt and scared. They ran away. The lady was still crying. She had no bag and no toys and no books and no candy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and mean. Be kind and share.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings and the slide. But there was a big boy who was mean to them. He was fat and loud. He wanted to have all the toys for himself.
+
+One day, the big boy saw Ben's medal. Ben had won it in a race at school. He was very proud of it. The big boy wanted to take it from him. He ran to Ben and tried to grab it. Ben held on tight. He did not want to lose his medal.
+
+Lily saw what was happening. She was Ben's friend. She wanted to help him. She ran to the big boy and pushed him hard. The big boy fell on the ground. He dropped Ben's medal. He started to cry. He was not so mean now.
+
+Ben and Lily picked up the medal. They hugged each other. They were happy. They went back to the swings and the slide. They did not care about the big boy. They had each other. They had fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw some pretty flowers. They were yellow and white. They were called daisies.
+
+"Look, Ben, daisies!" Lily said. "Let's pick some for Mommy."
+
+"OK, Lily," Ben said. "But be careful. Don't touch the bees."
+
+They went to the flowers. They picked some daisies. They smelled them. They were sweet. They made a bunch. They were happy.
+
+But then, a big dog came. It was black and brown. It had sharp teeth. It barked. It was angry. It wanted the daisies.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily said. "These are our daisies!"
+
+But the dog did not go away. It ran to them. It jumped on them. It bit them. It hurt them. It took the daisies.
+
+Lily and Ben cried. They were scared. They were cold. They were bleeding. They wanted Mommy.
+
+But Mommy was not there. She was far away. She did not hear them. She did not see them. She did not know.
+
+The dog ran away. It was happy. It had the daisies.
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to look out the window and see the birds. She thought they were graceful and pretty. She wanted to be like them and fly in the sky. She asked her mom if she could go outside and play with the birds. Her mom said no, it was too cold and she had to stay inside.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not like to stay inside. She wanted to be free and happy like the birds. She decided to sneak out of the house when her mom was not looking. She put on her coat and shoes and opened the door. She ran to the backyard and saw a big tree with many birds on it.
+
+She climbed the tree and tried to reach the birds. She wanted to touch them and talk to them. She did not know that the birds were scared of her. They did not like her to come near them. They flew away and made loud noises. Lily did not understand. She thought they were playing with her. She climbed higher and higher, hoping to catch a bird.
+
+She did not see the branch that was broken. She stepped on it and it snapped. She lost her balance and fell down. She screamed and cried. She hurt her head and her arm. She was bleeding and in pain. She wished she had listened to her mom.
+
+Her mom heard her scream and ran to the backyard. She saw Lily on the ground and the broken branch. She was shocked and scared. She ran to Lily and hugged her. She called for help and tried to stop the bleeding. She was angry and sad. She did not know why Lily had done such a foolish thing. She did not mention the birds or the window. She only mentioned how much she loved Lily and how sorry she was.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They saw a big jar of sugar on the shelf. They climbed on a chair to reach it.
+
+"Be careful, Anna!" Ben said. "The jar is heavy and the chair is wobbly."
+
+Anna did not answer. She grabbed the jar and tried to lift it. But it was too heavy for her. She lost her balance and the jar fell to the floor. Sugar spilled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna cried. "We made a big mess!"
+
+Ben jumped off the chair and ran to help Anna. But he slipped on the sugar and fell too. He hit his head on the table. He felt dizzy and saw stars.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cried. "My head hurts!"
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Anna and Ben on the floor, covered in sugar. She saw the broken jar and the spilled sugar. She was not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked. "Why did you take the sugar?"
+
+Anna and Ben did not answer. They looked at Mom with big eyes. They were scared and sorry. They knew they did something bad.
+
+Mom sighed and shook her head. She helped Anna and Ben get up. She hugged them and kissed their boo-boos. She told them to never play with sugar again. She told them to help her clean up the mess.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry. They helped Mom sweep the sugar and throw away the jar. They learned their lesson. They decided to make a card for Mom instead of a cake. They hoped Mom would like it.
+Anna likes to watch the birds in the park. She sees big birds and small birds, red birds and blue birds, loud birds and quiet birds. She thinks they are amazing. She wants to be like them and fly in the sky.
+
+She asks her dad for a watch. She thinks a watch can help her tell time like the birds. She wants to know when it is morning and when it is night. She wants to know when to sing and when to sleep. Her dad smiles and gives her a watch. It is pink and shiny and has a bird on it. She loves it.
+
+She puts on the watch and runs to the park. She watches the birds again. She tries to copy their sounds and their moves. She flaps her arms and jumps up and down. She feels happy and free. She looks at her watch and sees it is almost time to go home. She says goodbye to the birds and thanks them for being amazing. She hugs her dad and shows him her watch. He hugs her back and tells her she is amazing too.
+Anna and Ben love to go to the park with their mom. They like to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Sometimes they see unusual things at the park, like big dogs, funny birds or colorful flowers.
+
+One day, they saw something very different at the park. It was a big truck with a navy sign on it. The truck had many boxes and bags inside. A man in a navy suit was standing next to the truck. He smiled at Anna and Ben and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want to see what I have in my truck?"
+
+Anna and Ben were very curious and excited. They ran to the truck and asked, "What is in your truck, mister? Is it a surprise?"
+
+The man nodded and said, "Yes, it is a surprise. I am a navy sailor and I just came back from a long trip. I brought some gifts for the children at the park. Do you want to choose one?"
+
+Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please!" They looked inside the truck and saw many things. They saw books, toys, stickers, hats and more. They were all from different countries and places. The man told them stories about each thing and where he got it.
+
+Anna and Ben were very happy and grateful. They thanked the man and chose a gift each. Anna chose a book with pictures of animals and Ben chose a toy car with lights and sounds. They hugged the man and said, "Thank you, mister. You are very kind and generous. We love your gifts. They are very unusual and fun."
+
+The man smiled and said, "You are very welcome, kids. I am glad you like them. I hope you enjoy them and learn something new. Have a nice day and take care."
+
+Anna and Ben waved goodbye to the man and ran to their mom. They showed her their gifts and told her about the navy sailor and his truck. Their mom was very proud and happy. She said, "You are very lucky, kids. You met a very nice and brave man who travels the world and helps people. He gave you very special gifts that you can cherish and share. You should always be polite and thankful to people like him."
+
+Anna and Ben agreed and said, "We will, mom. We love you and we love the navy sailor. He made our day very exciting and unusual."
+Lily and Max loved to play with their toy cars. They made zoom sounds as they raced them on the floor. Sometimes they pretended to be drivers or police or firefighters.
+
+One day, they decided to be creative and make a new track for their cars. They used books, pillows, boxes and anything else they could find. They made ramps, bridges, tunnels and loops. They had so much fun!
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make my car fly!" Max said, as he launched his car from a ramp.
+
+"Wow, Max, that's awesome!" Lily said, as she watched his car soar in the air. "Can I try?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Max said, as he handed her his car.
+
+They took turns making their cars fly, zoom and spin. They laughed and cheered.
+
+"Kids, dinner is ready!" Mom called from the kitchen.
+
+"OK, Mom, we're coming!" Lily and Max said.
+
+They put their cars and track away and ran to the kitchen. They smelled something yummy.
+
+"What's for dinner, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"It's a surprise, kids. I was creative too!" Mom said, as she smiled.
+
+She put a big plate on the table. It had pasta, cheese, sauce and...car-shaped meatballs!
+
+"Wow, Mom, this looks amazing!" Max said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, this is the best dinner ever!" Lily said.
+
+They hugged Mom and sat down to eat. They enjoyed their car-themed dinner and told Mom about their car-themed play. Mom was happy to see them so happy. She loved her creative kids.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they want the same toy or book. Then they have a fight.
+
+One day, Tom and Sue find a big box. They think it is fun to go inside the box. They set some pillows and blankets in the box. They pretend it is their house.
+
+But then Tom wants to be the boss of the house. He tells Sue what to do. He says, "You have to make me a sandwich. You have to clean the box. You have to be quiet."
+
+Sue does not like that. She is independent. She wants to do what she likes. She says, "No, I don't have to do that. You are not the boss of me. I want to read a book. I want to sing a song. I want to have fun."
+
+Tom and Sue start to yell at each other. They pull the pillows and blankets. They push and kick. They have a big fight in the box.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Sue fighting in the box. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting, Tom and Sue. You have to share the box. You have to be nice to each other. You have to be friends."
+
+Tom and Sue feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Sue." They hug and make up. They decide to play together in the box. They take turns to be the boss. They have fun. They are friends again.
+Sara is a fairy who likes to fly in the garden. She has pink wings and a blue dress. She likes to play with the flowers and the bees. But today, her wings are dirty. She flew too close to the mud and got some on her wings.
+
+"Oh no, my wings are dirty!" Sara says. "I need to clean them or I can't fly well."
+
+She looks for some water to wash her wings. She sees a pond with some ducks. She flies to the pond and says hello to the ducks.
+
+"Hello, ducks. Can I use some water to clean my wings?" Sara asks.
+
+The ducks are noisy. They quack and splash in the pond. They do not hear Sara.
+
+"Quack, quack, quack!" the ducks say. "This is our pond. Go away!"
+
+Sara is sad. She does not want to make the ducks angry. She flies away from the pond and looks for another water.
+
+She sees a fountain with some coins. She flies to the fountain and says hello to the coins.
+
+"Hello, coins. Can I use some water to clean my wings?" Sara asks.
+
+The coins are shiny. They glint and sparkle in the water. They do not hear Sara.
+
+"Shine, shine, shine!" the coins say. "This is our fountain. Go away!"
+
+Sara is sad. She does not want to make the coins jealous. She flies away from the fountain and looks for another water.
+
+She sees a hose with some bubbles. She flies to the hose and says hello to the bubbles.
+
+"Hello, bubbles. Can I use some water to clean my wings?" Sara asks.
+
+The bubbles are friendly. They pop and float in the air. They hear Sara.
+
+"Pop, pop, pop!" the bubbles say. "This is our hose. You can stay!"
+
+Sara is happy. She thanks the bubbles and uses some water to clean her wings. She rubs and rinses her wings until they are pink and shiny again.
+
+"Yay, my wings are clean!" Sara says. "Now I can fly well again!"
+
+She waves goodbye to the bubbles and flies back to the garden. She plays with the flowers and the bees. She is a happy fairy.
+Lily and Max were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They had big luggage with many things inside. They put the luggage in the car and drove to the airport. Lily and Max were excited to see the planes and the people.
+
+At the airport, they had to wait in a long line. Lily was bored and wanted to play. She saw a big red button on the wall. It said "Do not twist". Lily did not know what "twist" meant. She thought it was a game. She reached for the button and twisted it.
+
+Suddenly, a loud alarm went off. Everyone looked at Lily and the button. Mom and Dad were scared and angry. They ran to Lily and took her away from the button. A man in a blue suit came and asked them what happened. He had a badge and a walkie-talkie. He was an unknown man to Lily and Max.
+
+Mom and Dad said they were sorry and that Lily did not know what she did. The man said it was a fire alarm and that they had to check the luggage. He asked them to follow him. Lily and Max had to carry their luggage to a big machine. The machine made a noise and scanned the luggage. The man looked at a screen and said everything was okay.
+
+Mom and Dad hugged Lily and Max and said they were glad they were safe. They said they had to be careful and not touch unknown things. Lily and Max said they were sorry and that they learned a new word. They said they would not twist anything again. The man smiled and said they could go to their plane. Lily and Max said thank you and goodbye. They went to their plane and hoped to have a fun trip.
+Sam and Lily are playing in the living room. They like to spin around and around until they feel dizzy. They laugh and giggle as they fall on the floor.
+
+"Let's play tag!" Sam says. "You are it!"
+
+He gets up and runs to the other side of the room. Lily chases him, but she is still dizzy. She bumps into the table and knocks over a vase. The vase breaks and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. "Mom will be mad!"
+
+They hear Mom coming down the stairs. She sounds angry. They are scared.
+
+"Quick, hide!" Sam says. He rushes to the closet and opens the door. Lily follows him. They squeeze inside and close the door.
+
+They hear Mom enter the living room. She sees the broken vase and the mess on the floor. She is very mad.
+
+"Who did this?" she asks. "Sam? Lily? Where are you?"
+
+Sam and Lily are quiet. They hope Mom will not find them. They hug each other and wait.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with water. They had a big bucket and a hose in their backyard. They filled the bucket with water and took turns to spray each other with the hose. They laughed and splashed and had fun.
+
+But their neighbor, Mr. Lee, did not like their noise. He was an elderly man who liked to read and nap in his porch. He was angry at the boys for disturbing him. He shouted at them to stop. But Tim and Sam did not listen. They thought he was funny and sprayed him with the hose too. They soaked him and his book and his chair.
+
+Mr. Lee was very mad. He called the police and told them that the boys were naughty and rude. He wanted them to go away. The police came and saw the wet mess. They asked the boys why they did that. Tim and Sam said they were just playing. They did not mean to hurt Mr. Lee.
+
+But the police did not believe them. They said they were bad and had to learn a lesson. They took them to the police station and told their parents. Their parents were very sad and angry. They scolded them and grounded them. They said they had to apologize to Mr. Lee and pay for his book and chair.
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry and scared. They wished they had not played with water. They wished they had listened to Mr. Lee. They learned that playing with water can be fun, but not when it hurts someone else. They learned that they had to respect the elderly and the police. They learned that being naughty can have a bad ending.
+Lily and Ben were going to a hotel with their mom and dad. They were very happy because they had never been to a hotel before. They wanted to see the big bed, the TV, and the pool.
+
+When they got to the hotel, they had to wait in a line to check in. Lily and Ben were bored and started to play with each other. They ran around the lobby, making loud noises and bumping into people. Their mom and dad told them to stop, but they did not listen.
+
+Suddenly, Lily tripped over a suitcase and fell down. She hit her head on the floor and started to cry. Ben laughed at her and pointed. He said, "Ha ha, Lily is so clumsy! She embarrassed herself in front of everyone!"
+
+Lily felt hurt by Ben's words. She also felt hurt by the bump on her head. She wanted to hide under a chair. She wished she was not at the hotel.
+
+Their mom and dad rushed to Lily and hugged her. They said, "Are you okay, Lily? We're sorry you fell down. Don't mind Ben, he's just being silly. He doesn't mean to hurt you. He loves you very much."
+
+They also scolded Ben and said, "Ben, that was not nice. You should not laugh at your sister when she is hurt. You should help her and say sorry. You embarrassed us in front of everyone. How would you feel if someone laughed at you when you fell down?"
+
+Ben felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was mean to Lily. He went to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. You're not clumsy, you're brave. I don't want to hurt you. I love you very much."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You're not silly, you're funny. I don't want to be mad at you. I love you very much."
+
+They hugged each other and said sorry to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad smiled and said, "That's better. We're proud of you. Now let's go to our room and have some fun. We're here to enjoy the hotel, not to make trouble."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and followed their mom and dad. They were happy again and looked forward to seeing the big bed, the TV, and the pool. They learned to be kind and careful at the hotel.
+Sam and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Sam had a lot of orange blocks. He said they were his favorite. Lily had some orange blocks too, but she also had other colors.
+
+"Look, Sam, I made a rainbow!" Lily said, showing him her blocks. "Do you like it?"
+
+Sam nodded. He liked rainbows, but he liked orange more. He wanted to make something orange too. He looked around and saw a big orange ball on the shelf. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's finish our blocks and then we can play with the ball," he said to Lily.
+
+"Okay," Lily agreed. She liked the ball too. It was soft and bouncy.
+
+They finished their blocks and put them away. Then Sam ran to the shelf and grabbed the ball. He threw it to Lily and she caught it. They laughed and played with the ball. They threw it and rolled it and bounced it.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The ball hit a lamp and the lamp fell down. It broke into pieces. Sam and Lily were scared. They heard their mom coming.
+
+"Oh no, what did you do?" their mom said, seeing the mess. She was not happy. She was angry.
+
+"We're sorry, mom," Sam and Lily said. They felt bad. They knew they did something wrong.
+
+Their mom sighed. She was not happy, but she was not mean. She knew they did not mean to break the lamp. She said they had to help her clean up and then go to their room. They could not play with the ball anymore.
+
+Sam and Lily helped their mom clean up. They were sad. They liked the ball. They wished they could play with it again.
+
+But then, their mom surprised them. She said she had a treat for them. She gave them each a popsicle. They were orange. They were cold and sweet and yummy.
+
+"Thank you, mom," Sam and Lily said. They smiled. They liked the popsicles. They liked orange.
+
+They ate their popsicles and hugged their mom. They said they were sorry again. Their mom said she forgave them. She said they could play with the ball again tomorrow, but they had to be careful.
+
+Sam and Lily nodded. They agreed. They learned their lesson. They were happy. They finished their popsicles and went to their room. They dreamed of orange.
+Lily liked to mix things in her big bowl. She mixed flour and water and salt and oil. She mixed them with a spoon and with her hands. She made a soft dough that she could shape and play with.
+
+She wanted to make something for her mom, who was working on her laptop. She thought mom would like a charming gift. She rolled the dough into a ball and then flattened it. She used a cookie cutter to make a heart shape. She made a hole at the top with a straw. She put the heart on a tray and asked dad to put it in the oven.
+
+When the heart was baked and cooled, Lily painted it with red and pink. She added some glitter and a ribbon. She was very proud of her heart. She ran to mom and showed her the heart. She said, "Mom, I made this for you. I love you."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "Thank you, Lily. This is the most charming heart I ever saw. I love you too." She put the heart on a string and hung it on the wall. Lily and mom hugged again and kissed. They were very happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a big box of cars and trains and planes. They make noises like the engines. Vroom, vroom, chug, chug, whoosh, whoosh.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a big red fire truck. It has a ladder and a hose and a siren. Lily and Ben are very happy. They want to play with the fire truck.
+
+"Let me drive the fire truck!" Lily says.
+
+"No, let me drive the fire truck!" Ben says.
+
+They both grab the fire truck and pull. They are not nice to each other. They make the fire truck fall on the floor. The fire truck breaks. The ladder and the hose and the siren fall off. Lily and Ben are sad. They broke their new toy.
+
+They look at the fire truck. They see something inside. It is the engine. The engine is still working. It makes a noise. Vroom, vroom.
+
+"Look, the engine is still good!" Lily says.
+
+"Maybe we can fix the fire truck!" Ben says.
+
+They crawl on the floor. They find the ladder and the hose and the siren. They try to put them back on the fire truck. They work together. They are nice to each other. They fix the fire truck.
+
+They are very happy. They hug each other. They hug the fire truck.
+
+"Sorry, I was not nice to you," Lily says.
+
+"Sorry, I was not nice to you, too," Ben says.
+
+They smile. They play with the fire truck. They make noises like the engine. Vroom, vroom, chug, chug, whoosh, whoosh.
+
+They have a great time. They love their new toy. They love each other.
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their dog, Rex. Rex is big and brown and friendly. He likes to run and jump and bark.
+
+One day, Sam and Tom see a new toy in the shop. It is a bow and arrow. It looks fun and shiny. They ask their mom if they can have it. Their mom says no. She says it is not safe for little boys. She says they can hurt themselves or Rex or someone else.
+
+But Sam and Tom are persistent. They want the bow and arrow very much. They beg and cry and whine. Their mom gets angry and tired. She says fine, but they have to be careful and only play in the backyard.
+
+Sam and Tom are happy. They run to the backyard with the bow and arrow. They take turns to shoot at a target on the fence. They laugh and cheer when they hit it.
+
+Rex sees them playing. He thinks they are playing with him. He runs to the fence and barks. He makes a motion with his head. He wants them to throw the arrow for him to fetch.
+
+Sam and Tom do not see Rex. They are too busy with the bow and arrow. They do not hear his barks. They do not notice his motion.
+
+Tom shoots the arrow again. It flies fast and hard. It hits Rex in the chest. Rex yelps and falls. He does not get up.
+
+Sam and Tom see Rex. They drop the bow and arrow. They run to Rex. They touch him and call him. He does not move. He does not breathe. He is dead.
+
+Sam and Tom cry. They are scared and sad. They killed their dog. They wish they listened to their mom. They wish they did not play with the bow and arrow. They wish they could say sorry to Rex. But it is too late.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the kitchen while Mom was busy in the living room. They saw a big bottle of juice on the counter and wanted to drink some. Tim climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle, but he dropped it on the floor. The juice spilled everywhere and made a big mess.
+
+"Oh no!" Tim said. "Mom will be mad!"
+
+Lily looked at the juice and the broken bottle. She felt scared and guilty. She wanted to help Tim clean up, but she did not know how. She saw a mop in the corner and grabbed it. She tried to wipe the juice with the mop, but she only made it worse. The mop was dirty and left stains on the floor.
+
+"Stop it, Lily!" Tim said. "You are making it worse!"
+
+Lily started to cry. She did not mean to make it worse. She wanted to make it better. She dropped the mop and ran to the living room. She hugged Mom and told her what happened.
+
+Mom looked at Lily and then at the kitchen. She saw the mess and the broken bottle. She was not happy, but she was not mad either. She knew that Tim and Lily were sorry and did not do it on purpose. She hugged Lily back and said, "It's okay, Lily. Accidents happen. But you should have told me right away. I could have helped you clean up."
+
+She took Lily to the kitchen and called Tim. She asked them to help her pick up the glass and throw it away. She gave them a clean cloth and a bucket of water and showed them how to wipe the juice. She told them to be careful and not to touch the glass.
+
+Tim and Lily helped Mom clean up the kitchen. They felt bad for making a mess and breaking the bottle. They regretted taking the juice without asking. They said sorry to Mom and thanked her for helping them. Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Tim and Lily. I forgive you. But next time, please ask me before you take anything from the counter. And be careful with glass bottles. They can hurt you."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We will."
+
+They finished cleaning up and hugged Mom. They learned their lesson and did not take anything from the counter again. They were glad that Mom was not mad and loved them. They loved Mom too.
+Tom and Lily were playing near the cliff. They liked to look at the big sea and the birds. They saw a red plant with small fruits. Tom said, "I want to get some of those fruits. They look yummy."
+
+Lily said, "No, Tom, don't go there. Mom said the fruits are spicy. They will make your mouth hurt. And the cliff is dangerous. You can fall and get hurt."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the plant and picked some fruits. He put one in his mouth and bit it. He felt a fire in his mouth. He screamed, "Ow, ow, ow! This is spicy! I need water!"
+
+Lily ran to him and gave him her bottle of water. She said, "Tom, you are silly. You should listen to Mom and me. Spicy fruits are not yummy. They are bad. And you should not go near the cliff. It is scary. You can get lost or fall."
+
+Tom drank the water and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. Spicy fruits are bad. And the cliff is scary. I will not go there again. Let's go back to Mom and play with our toys."
+
+Lily said, "OK, Tom. I'm glad you are OK. Let's go back to Mom and play with our toys. And next time, listen to me. I know what is good and what is bad."
+
+They held hands and walked back to Mom. They played with their toys and had fun. They learned to be careful and to listen to each other.
+Lily and Ben love to play with their new train. It is red and blue and makes a loud sound. They put it on the track and watch it go round and round.
+
+"Look, Lily, the train is fast!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is very fast. And it has a light too!" Lily says.
+
+They clap their hands and laugh. They like their new train.
+
+But then, the train stops. It does not move or make a sound. Lily and Ben are sad.
+
+"What is wrong with the train?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it needs new batteries." Ben says.
+
+They look for new batteries, but they cannot find any. They try to push the train, but it does not work.
+
+They are about to cry, when they hear a knock on the door. It is their dad. He has a big smile and a bag in his hand.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Ben. I have a surprise for you." He says.
+
+He opens the bag and takes out a spring. It is shiny and coiled. He puts it in the train and turns it on.
+
+"Watch this!" He says.
+
+He pulls the spring and lets it go. The train starts to move again. It goes faster and faster, and makes a loud sound. It springs along the track and makes Lily and Ben happy.
+
+"Wow, dad, you fixed the train!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, dad, you are the best!" Ben says.
+
+They hug their dad and thank him. They play with their new train and their spring. They have a lot of fun.
+Lily and Luke were twins who liked to play with their toy guns. They pretended to be cowboys and robbers and ran around the yard. One day, they saw a big bird on the fence. It was red and blue and had a long tail.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It's so pretty!"
+
+"Let's shoot it!" Luke said. He aimed his toy gun at the bird and made a loud noise. "Bang! Bang!"
+
+The bird got scared and flew away. Lily was angry at Luke. She liked the bird and wanted to see it more.
+
+"Why did you do that?" she asked. "You scared the bird away!"
+
+"I wanted to shoot it!" Luke said. "It was fun!"
+
+"No, it was not fun!" Lily said. "It was mean! You are a bad robber!"
+
+Lily and Luke started to argue. They shouted and pushed each other. They forgot to be calm and nice.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw the twins fighting and the toy guns on the ground.
+
+"What's going on here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+Lily and Luke told Mom what happened. Mom was not happy. She took the toy guns away and told the twins to sit on the porch.
+
+"You need to learn to share and respect the animals," she said. "Shooting is not a good game. It can hurt someone or something. And you need to be calm and listen to each other. Fighting is not the way to solve problems."
+
+Lily and Luke felt sorry. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to play a different game. They looked for the bird again, but it was gone. They hoped it would come back another day.
+Anna and Ben are playing with a puzzle. They like puzzles. They have many pieces to fit together. They make a picture of a farm with animals and trees.
+
+"Look, I found the cow!" Ben says. He puts the piece in the right place.
+
+"Good job, Ben!" Anna says. She claps her hands. She applauds. "Can you find the pig?"
+
+Ben looks for the pig. He sees a pink piece. He thinks it is the pig. He tries to fit it in the puzzle. But it does not fit. It is too big.
+
+"That is not the pig, Ben. That is the barn," Anna says. She points to the barn. "The pig is smaller and has a curly tail."
+
+"Oh, I see. Thank you, Anna," Ben says. He finds the pig. He puts it in the puzzle. He smiles.
+
+They finish the puzzle. They are happy. They applaud. They hug.
+
+"Let's have a snack," Anna says. She goes to the kitchen. She brings two apples and two cups of juice.
+
+They sit on the floor. They eat the apples. They drink the juice.
+
+"Yuck!" Ben says. He makes a face. He spits out the juice. "This juice is sour. It hurts my tongue."
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not know. Maybe the juice is old," Anna says. She looks at the bottle. She sees a date. It is past the date. "We should throw it away."
+
+They throw away the juice. They get some water. They drink the water. It is fresh and cool.
+
+They feel better. They laugh. They play with the puzzle again. They have fun.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big dog with brown fur and a white spot on his nose. Spot likes to run and jump and fetch.
+
+One day, Ben and Mia want to race with Spot. They go to the park with their mom. They find a long path with grass and trees. Mom says, "Are you ready to race? On your mark, get set, go!"
+
+Ben and Mia run as fast as they can. Spot runs faster. He is very competitive. He wants to win. He runs past Ben and Mia and reaches the end of the path. He barks and wags his tail.
+
+Ben and Mia are not happy. They want to win too. They say, "Spot, that's not fair! You are too fast. You have four legs. We have two legs. You need to slow down."
+
+Spot does not understand. He thinks they are playing. He runs back to them and licks their faces. He drops a stick at their feet. He wants them to throw it for him.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Spot is a good dog. He loves you. He does not mean to make you sad. He just likes to run. Why don't you try another game? How about heel?"
+
+Ben and Mia look at mom. They do not know what heel means. Mom explains, "Heel means to walk next to me. Spot knows how to heel. He learned it in dog school. Watch."
+
+Mom holds a leash and says, "Spot, heel." Spot comes to mom and sits next to her. He looks at her and waits. Mom says, "Good boy, Spot. You are very smart. Now let's walk."
+
+Mom walks along the path. Spot walks next to her. He does not run or jump or fetch. He heels. Ben and Mia follow them. They think heel is a fun game. They say, "Spot, heel. Good boy, Spot. You are very smart."
+
+Spot is happy. He likes to heel. He likes to please mom. He likes to be with Ben and Mia. He barks and wags his tail. He does not care who wins. He just wants to play.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him two rocks for eyes and a stick for a mouth.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "You are our friend. Do you like the snow?"
+
+"Yes, I do!" Ben said, pretending to be the snowman. "But I am cold. Can you give me a hug?"
+
+Lily and Ben hugged the snowman. They felt his cold and wet snow on their coats. They laughed and smiled.
+
+But then the sun came out. It was bright and warm. The snow started to melt. The snowman's hat and scarf fell off. His carrot nose dropped to the ground. His eyes and mouth became smaller.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "Mr. Snowman is melting! He is going away!"
+
+"Don't worry!" Ben said. "We can make him again. We just need more snow. Come on, let's find some!"
+
+They looked around for more snow. But there was not much left. Most of it was water or mud. They saw a hidden pile of snow behind a tree. They ran to it.
+
+But when they got there, they saw something else. It was a small boy. He was sitting on the snow. He was sucking his thumb. He looked sad and scared.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked. "Why are you here?"
+
+The boy did not answer. He just looked at them with big eyes. He took his thumb out of his mouth.
+
+"I'm Sam," he said. "I'm lost. I can't find my mom."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for Sam. They wanted to help him.
+
+"Don't be sad, Sam," Ben said. "We will help you find your mom. Come with us. We will be your friends."
+
+Sam smiled. He got up from the snow. He held Lily's and Ben's hands.
+
+"Thank you," he said. "You are very nice."
+
+They walked together to the street. They saw a lady. She was looking for something. She had a red coat and a blue hat.
+
+"Mom!" Sam shouted. He ran to her. He hugged her.
+
+"Sam!" the lady said. She hugged him back. She looked happy and relieved.
+
+"Where were you, Sam? I was so worried! How did you get here?"
+
+"I was playing in the park. But then I got lost. I found some snow. I was hiding there. I was scared. But then I met Lily and Ben. They helped me. They are my friends."
+
+The lady looked at Lily and Ben. She smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Ben," she said. "You are very kind. You saved my Sam. How can I thank you?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled.
+
+"You're welcome," they said. "We're glad Sam is okay. He is our friend too."
+
+They all hugged. They felt happy and warm.
+
+The snowman was gone. But they did not mind. They had something better. They had friendship.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes.
+
+"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Sara says.
+
+"Yes, he is happy to be with us!" Ben says.
+
+They play some more and throw snowballs at each other. They laugh and have fun. But soon they feel cold and wet. They shiver and their teeth chatter.
+
+"Let's go inside and have some hot cocoa!" Sara says.
+
+"Good idea!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the house and take off their coats and boots. Mom is in the kitchen. She has a big pot of hot cocoa on the stove. She pours some in two mugs and gives them to Sara and Ben.
+
+"Here you go, my little snowflakes!" Mom says. "Drink this and you will feel warm and cozy!"
+
+"Thank you, Mom!" Sara and Ben say. They sip their cocoa and feel the warmth in their bellies.
+
+Mom also gives them a bowl of yogurt with some berries. She says yogurt is good for them and has lots of vitamins.
+
+Sara and Ben like yogurt. They spoon some in their mouths and chew the berries. But they make a face and spit it out.
+
+"Yuck! This yogurt is sour!" Sara says.
+
+"Yuck! It tastes bad!" Ben says.
+
+Mom looks at the yogurt and sees the date on the lid. It is expired. She forgot to check it before she gave it to them.
+
+"Oh, I'm sorry, my loves!" Mom says. "This yogurt is old and spoiled. I didn't mean to give you sour yogurt. I'll get you some fresh yogurt from the fridge."
+
+She takes the bowl of sour yogurt and throws it in the trash. She gets a new bowl of yogurt and adds some honey and granola. She gives it to Sara and Ben and apologizes again.
+
+"Here, try this yogurt. It is sweet and crunchy. I hope you like it better!" Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben try the new yogurt. They smile and nod. They like it much better. It is not sour at all.
+
+"Thank you, Mom! This yogurt is yummy!" Sara says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom! This yogurt is delicious!" Ben says.
+
+They finish their yogurt and their cocoa. They hug Mom and thank her for the snack. They feel warm and happy. They don't shiver anymore. They love Mom and they love snow.
+Anna was very happy. It was her birthday and she had many packages to open. She liked the paper and the ribbons and the cards. She opened the first package and saw a doll. She hugged the doll and said thank you to Mommy and Daddy. She opened the second package and saw a book. She liked the pictures and the words and said thank you to Grandma and Grandpa. She opened the third package and saw a puzzle. She liked the shapes and the colors and said thank you to Auntie and Uncle.
+
+But there was one more package. It was big and heavy and had no card. Anna did not know who gave it to her. She was curious and excited. She tore the paper and opened the box. Inside was a big teddy bear. It was brown and soft and had a red bow. Anna liked the teddy bear and wanted to hug it. But it was too big. It did not fit in her arms. It did not fit on her bed. It did not fit in her room. Anna was sad. She did not know what to do with the teddy bear.
+
+Then she heard a knock on the door. She ran to see who it was. It was her friend Lily. Lily had a small package in her hand. She said, "Happy birthday, Anna! I have a gift for you. I hope you like it." Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily! You are very kind. Come in and see my gifts." She showed Lily the doll, the book, the puzzle, and the teddy bear. Lily liked all the gifts, but she said, "Wow, that teddy bear is huge! Where did you get it?" Anna said, "I don't know. It was an unknown package. I like it, but it does not fit anywhere." Lily said, "I have an idea. Why don't you give it to the children's hospital? They have many sick kids who need a friend. They would love your teddy bear. And you can keep my gift. It is a small teddy bear. It will fit in your arms, on your bed, and in your room." Anna thought about it and said, "That is a good idea, Lily. You are very smart. I will give my big teddy bear to the hospital and keep your small teddy bear. Thank you for your gift and your help." She hugged Lily and her small teddy bear. She was happy again.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sometimes the best gift is the one you can share with others.

+Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They want their ball. They chase the big boy. They are fast.
+
+They catch up with the big boy. They try to get the ball. The big boy pushes them. He is mean.
+
+"Stop it!" Ben says. "You are not nice!"
+
+"Go away!" the big boy says. He kicks the ball. The ball flies over the fence. It lands in the street.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. "Our ball is gone!"
+
+The big boy is scared. He sees a car coming. He runs away. He is sorry.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They have no ball. They have no fun.

+Tom and Anna like to play with their toy trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They also have a big track with bridges and tunnels. They can make the trains go fast or slow on the track.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna decide to play a game. They want to match the trains with the same color. They look at their trains and find the red ones, the blue ones, the green ones, and the yellow ones. They put them in groups on the floor.
+
+Then they take turns to pick a train and put it on the track. They have to find the engine that matches the train. The engine is the part that makes the train move. Sometimes the engine is at the front, and sometimes it is at the back.
+
+Tom picks a red train and looks for a red engine. He finds one at the back and puts it on the track. He makes the engine pull the train along the track. He says, "Choo choo!"

+
+They think of what to do. Then, Tim has an idea.
+
+"Look, there is a pile of snow. We can make a ball with the snow. It will be soft and round. We can play hockey with it." Tim says.

+
+The dog does not like the water. It barks and shakes its fur. It jumps on Anna and Ben and licks their faces. Anna and Ben giggle and try to push the dog away.
+
+"Stop, stop, doggy!" Anna says. "You are wet and hairy!"
+
+"Go away, go away, doggy!" Ben says. "You are big and heavy!"
+
+The dog does not listen. It keeps jumping and licking. It knocks over the hose and the water stops. Anna and Ben are sad. They like the water.
+

+
+"Please, please, water!" Ben says. "We want to play more!"
+
+The dog hears them and runs to the hose. It bites the hose and the water starts again. The dog is happy. It sprays Anna and Ben with water from its mouth.

+Lily liked to design things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of flowers, stars, and animals. One day, she decided to design a house for her toy ant. She drew a big circle with a door and windows. She added some grass and a sun.
+
+She showed her ant house to her mom. "Look, Mom, I made a house for Anty!" she said proudly.
+
+"That's very nice, Lily," her mom said. "But where will Anty sleep and eat?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered that ants liked to eat crumbs and sugar. She ran to the kitchen and got some bread and a spoon. She tore off some tiny pieces of bread and put them inside the circle. She dipped the spoon in the sugar jar and sprinkled some on the grass.
+
+"There, now Anty has a tasty snack and a soft bed," she said. She placed Anty on the paper and watched him crawl around.

+
+"Mom, we have nothing to do!" Tom says.
+
+"Look, I have an idea. You can make a game with these cardboard boxes. You can stack them, or cut them, or draw on them. Use your imagination!" Mom says.
+
+She gives them scissors, tape, and markers. Tom and Mia start to make their game. They cut out windows and doors. They draw animals and flowers. They tape the boxes together. They make a big castle.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Mia says.
