The knife got stuck in the zipper and snapped. The broken knife flew out of their hands and hit Tom in the eye. Tom screamed in pain and blood. Sam was scared and sorry. He dropped the knife and ran to get mom. + +Mom came and saw what happened. She was shocked and sad. She hugged Tom and Sam and took them to the hospital. The doctor said that Tom might lose his eye. Mom cried and prayed. She said, "I wish you had listened to me and put the knife away. Now you have to pay a big price for your foolishness. You have hurt yourself, me, and the dress. You have learned a hard lesson. I hope you will never play with sharp things again." + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with sharp things. They are a threat to you and others. Listen to your mom and be careful and respectful with tools. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the jungle. They had a ball, a car, a doll and a book with pictures of animals. + +"Look, Lily, this is a rhinoceros!" Tom said, pointing to the book. "It is very big and has a horn on its nose. It can run fast and make loud noises." + +"Wow, Tom, it is amazing!" Lily said, looking at the picture. "Can we see a rhinoceros in real life?" + +"Maybe, Lily, maybe. But we have to be careful. Rhinoceroses are not friendly. They can hurt us if we get too close." Tom said, putting the book away. + +"OK, Tom, I understand. But can we make a promise?" Lily asked, holding out her pinky finger. + +"What promise, Lily?" Tom asked, holding out his pinky finger too. + +"Promise me that we will always be friends and play together, even if we grow up and see a rhinoceros." Lily said, smiling. + +"I promise, Lily, I promise. We will always be friends and play together, even if we grow up and see a rhinoceros." Tom said, smiling too. + +They wrapped their pinky fingers around each other and hugged. They were happy and felt safe. They continued to play in the park with their toys, dreaming of the jungle and the rhinoceros. +Lily and Max were playing in the park with their ball. They were very enthusiastic and ran and kicked and laughed. They liked the sun and the grass and the flowers. + +But after a while, they got thirsty and hot. They looked for their water bottles, but they could not find them. They had forgotten to bring them from home. They felt sad and tired. + +"Let's go to the shade and rest," Lily said. She pointed to a big tree with many leaves. "Maybe we will feel better there." + +Max nodded and followed her. They walked to the tree and sat under it. The shade was cool and nice. They felt a little better. + +But then they heard a loud bark. A big dog was running towards them. It had seen their ball and wanted to play with it. It looked friendly, but it was too big and fast for them. They were scared and hugged each other. + +"Go away, dog!" Lily shouted. "That's our ball!" + +But the dog did not listen. It grabbed the ball with its mouth and ran away. It wagged its tail and barked happily. It had found a new toy. + +Lily and Max were very upset. They had lost their ball and their water. They wanted to go home. They cried and called for their mom. They hoped she would come soon and help them. They learned to never forget their things again. +Tim and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy with their snowman. They gave him a name: Bob. + +But then the sun came out and it was very warm. Tim and Lily saw that Bob was starting to melt. His hat fell off, his scarf became wet and his carrot nose dropped to the ground. They were very sad. They did not want Bob to melt. + +They ran to their mom and asked her to help. Mom said they could not stop Bob from melting, but they could make him a new home. She gave them a big plastic box and some ice cubes. They filled the box with ice and put Bob inside. They put the box in the freezer. + +They waited for a long time. They played with their toys, read some books and had a snack. They asked mom if they could see Bob. Mom said they could, but they had to be careful. She opened the freezer and took out the box. She opened the box and showed them Bob. + +Bob was still there, but he was very small. He had a tiny hat, a tiny scarf and a tiny carrot nose. He looked harmless. Tim and Lily smiled. They said hello to Bob and gave him a hug. They put him back in the box and in the freezer. They said they would visit him every day. They thanked mom for helping them. Mom said she was happy to help. She said Bob was lucky to have such good friends. +Ben liked to play with his dad's things. He liked the big chair, the shiny pen, and the noisy phone. But his dad said those things were for his office, not for Ben. Ben had to play with his own toys in his room. + +One day, Ben saw his dad leave his office for a while. He had a big bag with him. Ben was curious. He wanted to see what was in the bag. He decided to borrow his dad's key and sneak into his office. He opened the door and went inside. + +He saw the bag on the desk. He opened it and found a big toy. It was a powerful robot. It had lights, sounds, and buttons. Ben was very happy. He took the robot out of the bag and turned it on. He made it walk, talk, and dance. He had so much fun. + +But then he heard his dad coming back. He was angry. He saw Ben with his robot. He said, "Ben, what are you doing? That is not a toy. That is a very important project for my work. You can't borrow it. You have to give it back to me right now." + +Ben was scared. He did not know the robot was for work. He thought it was a gift for him. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to play with it. It looked so cool. Please don't be mad at me." + +His dad sighed. He was not happy, but he loved Ben. He said, "I know you like robots, Ben. But you can't take things without asking. That is not nice. You have to respect my office and my things. Maybe someday I can make you a robot of your own. But for now, you have to play with your own toys. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded. He felt bad. He said, "I understand, dad. I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Can I give you a hug?" + +His dad smiled. He said, "Of course, Ben. I love you. Come here." He hugged Ben and took the robot back. He put it in the bag and locked his office. He said, "Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. How does that sound?" + +Ben smiled. He said, "That sounds good, dad. I love you too." He followed his dad to the kitchen. He learned his lesson. He did not borrow things without asking anymore. He played with his own toys and waited for his dad to make him a robot someday. +Anna and Ben were on a safari with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, zebras, and giraffes. Anna liked the animals, but Ben was bored. He wanted to play with his toy cars, but he left them at home. + +"Mom, can we go back now?" Ben asked. "This is boring." + +"No, Ben, we have to stay for a little longer. Look, there is a big elephant!" Mom said. + +Ben looked at the elephant. It was very big and gray. It had a long nose and big ears. Ben wondered if it could fit in his toy car. + +"Can I ride the elephant, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben, that's not safe. The elephant is too big and strong for you. You can only look at it from the car." Mom said. + +Ben was sad. He wished he had his toy car. He thought it would be more fun than the safari. + +Anna saw that Ben was sad. She wanted to cheer him up. She had an idea. + +"Ben, look, I have a surprise for you!" Anna said. She reached into her backpack and pulled out a small toy car. She had brought it for Ben. + +"Wow, Anna, thank you! You are the best sister ever!" Ben said. He hugged Anna and took the toy car. He smiled and played with it. + +Anna smiled too. She was happy that Ben was happy. She still liked the safari, but she liked her brother more. +Tom likes to play with puzzles. He has many puzzles with animals, cars, and shapes. He likes to make the pictures with the pieces. He kneels on the floor and opens a box with a puzzle. + +But this puzzle is not regular. It has no picture on the box. It has only colors. Tom is curious. He wants to see what the puzzle is. He takes out the pieces and tries to fit them together. + +He works hard and makes a big circle with the pieces. The circle has many colors, like a rainbow. Tom is happy. He thinks the puzzle is pretty. He shows it to his mom. + +Mom smiles and hugs Tom. She tells him he did a good job. She says the puzzle is special. It is a color wheel. It helps to learn the names of the colors. She points to each color and says its name. Tom repeats after her. + +Tom learns the colors and enjoys the puzzle. He thinks it is fun to play with puzzles, regular or not. He wants to try more puzzles and make more pictures. He puts the color wheel puzzle back in the box and looks for another one. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big yellow soap in the bathroom. It smelled nice and looked like a toy. They decided to take it to their room and have fun with it. + +They rubbed the soap on their hands, their faces, their hair, and their clothes. They made bubbles and laughed. They did not know that soap was not a toy, but something to clean with. They did not know that soap could hurt their eyes and skin, and make their clothes dirty. + +Their mom came to their room and saw the mess. She was very angry and sad. She said, "What have you done? You have wasted the soap and ruined your clothes. You have been very naughty and careless. Soap is not a toy, but something to clean with. You should only use it when you wash yourself or your hands. You should not play with it or put it in your eyes. It can hurt you and make you sick." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We thought it was a toy. We wanted to have fun with it. We did not mean to waste it or ruin our clothes. We did not mean to make you angry or sad." + +Mom said, "I know you did not know, but you should have asked me first. You should have been more careful and respectful. You should have listened to me when I told you how to use soap. You should have revealed your plan to me before you took the soap. Then I could have told you why it was a bad idea. Now you have to learn from your mistake and face the consequences. You have to clean up the mess, wash yourselves, and wear new clothes. You also have to say sorry to dad, who bought the soap for us. And you have to promise me that you will never play with soap again." + +Tom and Lily nodded and did what mom said. They cleaned up the mess, washed themselves, and wore new clothes. They said sorry to dad, who was also angry and sad, but forgave them. They promised mom that they would never play with soap again. They learned that soap was not a toy, but something to clean with. They learned that they should always ask mom before they do something new. They learned that they should always reveal their plans to mom, so she could help them and protect them. They learned that they should be more careful and respectful. They learned their lesson and became better children. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together on Tuesday. Tuesday is their play day. They go to the park with their moms and have fun. + +One Tuesday, they see a big pile of leaves. The leaves are red, yellow and brown. They are messy and crunchy. Tom and Anna want to play with the leaves. They ask their moms if they can. + +"Can we play with the leaves, mom?" Tom says. + +"Can we, can we?" Anna says. + +Their moms smile and say yes. They say they can play with the leaves, but they have to be careful and not hurt themselves. + +Tom and Anna are happy. They run to the pile of leaves and jump in. They throw leaves in the air and catch them. They make leaf hats and leaf crowns. They laugh and giggle. + +They play with the leaves for a long time. They have so much fun. They make a big mess, but they do not care. They are having a great Tuesday. +Lily loves jewelry. She likes to look at the shiny things on her mom's neck and ears. She wants to wear them too. One day, when mom is busy, Lily sneaks into her room and finds her jewelry box. She opens it and sees many pretty things. She puts on a necklace, a bracelet, and some earrings. She feels like a princess. + +But the jewelry is not for Lily. It is for mom. And some of the jewelry is very old and very hot. Lily does not know that. She only knows that they sparkle and make her happy. She runs to the mirror to see how she looks. But as she runs, she feels something hot on her ear. It hurts. She cries out and drops the earring. It is a very old earring that mom got from grandma. It has a red stone that gets hot in the sun. Lily did not see the sun coming through the window. She only saw the red stone. + +Mom hears Lily cry and runs to her room. She sees Lily holding her ear and the earring on the floor. She is angry and scared. She picks up Lily and hugs her. She says, "Lily, what did you do? This is my jewelry, not yours. You could have hurt yourself. This earring is very hot. It is not for playing. It is for special days. You have to ask me before you touch my things. Do you understand?" Lily nods and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. I love your jewelry. I wanted to be like you." Mom sighs and says, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to be careful. Jewelry is not a toy. It is a gift. And you are my best gift. You don't need jewelry to be beautiful. You are beautiful just the way you are." She kisses Lily's ear and takes off the other jewelry. She puts them back in the box and locks it. She says, "Maybe when you are older, I will let you wear some of my jewelry. But only if you promise to be good and listen to me. OK?" Lily says, "OK, mom. Thank you. Can I have a hug?" Mom says, "Of course, my sweet Lily. You can always have a hug." She hugs Lily and smiles. She thinks, "Maybe I should get her some jewelry of her own. Something simple and safe. Something that shows her how much I love her." +Lily was a charming girl who liked to bring things home from the park. She had a big pocket in her dress where she put her treasures. One day, she found a shiny stone that sparkled in the sun. She was very happy and put it in her pocket. + +When she got home, she showed her mom the stone. "Look, mom, I found a pretty stone!" she said. + +Mom smiled and took the stone from her pocket. She looked at it closely and gasped. "Lily, this is not a stone. This is a ring! A very special ring!" + +Lily was surprised and curious. "A ring? What is a ring?" + +Mom explained that a ring was a thing that people wore on their fingers to show love. She said that the ring had a name and a story. It belonged to her grandma, who had lost it many years ago in the park. She had looked for it everywhere, but never found it. She was very sad, because the ring was a gift from her grandpa, who had died. + +Lily felt sorry for her grandma. She wanted to make her happy. She had an idea. "Mom, can we bring the ring to grandma? Maybe she will smile again." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "Yes, we can. That is a very kind thing to do. You are a charming girl, Lily. Grandma will be so happy to see you and the ring." + +They got in the car and drove to grandma's house. Lily held the ring in her pocket and waited to see grandma's face. She hoped she would like her surprise. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something tasty. Mom said she would make beef for them. Beef was meat from a cow. Lily and Ben liked beef. + +Mom put the beef in a big pot. She added water, salt, and some green things. She said they were herbs. They made the beef smell good. Mom turned on the fire under the pot. She said the beef had to cook for a long time. + +Lily and Ben waited and waited. They played with their toys. They read some books. They sang some songs. They looked at the clock. It was almost time to eat. + +Mom turned off the fire. She took the beef out of the pot. She cut it into small pieces. She put some on each plate. She gave Lily and Ben a fork and a knife. She said, "Be careful, the beef is hot. Don't burn your mouth." + +Lily and Ben took a bite of the beef. It was soft and juicy. It was tasty. They smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. This is the best beef ever." + +Mom smiled back and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I'm glad you like it. Do you want some more?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please." They squeezed their forks and knives. They ate more beef. They were happy. +Ben likes to draw pictures with his crayons. He has many colors and he makes animals and cars and houses. He puts his pictures on his desk in his room. He thinks his pictures are important and he is proud of them. + +One day, his sister Lily comes into his room. She is bored and she wants to play. She sees Ben's pictures on his desk and she thinks they are funny. She takes some of them and tears them into pieces. She laughs and throws them on the floor. + +Ben hears the noise and runs to his room. He sees what Lily has done and he is very angry and sad. He yells at Lily and tells her to go away. He kneels on the floor and tries to fix his pictures, but they are too broken. He cries and hugs his pictures. + +Lily sees that Ben is crying and she feels sorry. She did not know that his pictures were important to him. She kneels next to him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was mean. I won't do it again. Can we be friends?" + +Ben looks at Lily and sees that she is sorry. He is still angry and sad, but he loves his sister. He says, "OK, Lily. I forgive you. But don't touch my pictures again. They are mine. Can you help me make new ones?" + +Lily nods and smiles. She says, "Yes, Ben. I can help you. I like to draw too. What do you want to draw?" + +Ben and Lily hug and then they go to his desk. They take some new paper and crayons and they start to draw together. They make new pictures and they have fun. They are happy and they are friends. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They saw a big red ball on the grass. Lily wanted to play with the ball, but Sam got there first. He picked up the ball and ran away. + +"Give me the ball, Sam!" Lily shouted. "It is my turn!" + +"No, it is mine!" Sam said. "You are too slow!" + +Lily was angry. She ran after Sam and tried to grab the ball. Sam dodged and laughed. He threw the ball in the air and caught it again. + +Lily saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and ran towards Sam. She wanted to poke him with the stick. She thought that would make him give her the ball. + +But Sam saw her coming. He threw the ball at her face. The ball hit Lily hard and made her cry. She dropped the stick and covered her eyes. + +Sam felt bad. He ran to Lily and said he was sorry. He gave her the ball and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Sam asked. + +Lily opened her eyes and saw Sam. She was still sad, but she forgave him. She hugged him back and said she was sorry too. + +They decided to share the ball and play together. They had more fun that way. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be selfish and mean to your friends. Share and be kind. +Lily liked to sign. She learned how to sign from her mom, who was deaf. Lily could talk and hear, but she also liked to use her hands to say things. She thought it was fun and special. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to a festival. There were many people, colors, sounds, and smells. Lily saw a big stage, where some people were singing and dancing. She wanted to go closer and watch. + +"Mom, can we go to the stage?" Lily asked, signing and speaking. + +"Sure, honey, but stay close to me. It's very crowded here," her mom said, signing and smiling. + +They walked to the stage, holding hands. Lily saw a girl with long hair and a pretty dress. She was singing a song that Lily liked. Lily wanted to sign along with the song, but she felt shy. She saw some people looking at her and her mom. Some of them smiled, but some of them frowned. Lily wondered why. + +"Mom, why are they looking at us?" Lily asked, signing and whispering. + +"Some people are curious, some people are friendly, and some people are mean. They don't understand why we sign. But we don't have to care what they think. We sign because we love each other and we want to communicate. Do you want to sign the song with me?" her mom said, signing and hugging. + +Lily nodded. She felt brave. She looked at the girl on the stage, and started to sign the words of the song. Her mom joined her. They signed together, and felt happy. They didn't care about the people who frowned. They only cared about the music and each other. +Lily loved peaches. She liked to eat them every day. She liked how they were sweet and juicy and soft. She liked to share them with her best friend, Ben. Ben was dependable. He always played with her and helped her when she was sad. + +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park. They saw a big tree with many peaches on it. They wanted to pick some peaches and eat them. But the tree was too high for them. They tried to climb, but they could not reach the peaches. + +"Let's quit," said Ben. "We can't get the peaches. They are too high." + +"No, let's not quit," said Lily. "We can find a way. Maybe we can use a stick or a ladder or a chair. We can do it if we try." + +Lily looked around and saw a big stick on the ground. She picked it up and gave it to Ben. Ben used the stick to poke the peaches. He poked and poked until one peach fell down. He caught it and gave it to Lily. + +"Yay, we did it!" said Lily. "We got a peach. Let's eat it." + +They ate the peach and it was delicious. They smiled and hugged each other. + +"Thank you, Lily," said Ben. "You are smart and brave. You did not quit. You found a way. You are a good friend." + +"Thank you, Ben," said Lily. "You are strong and kind. You helped me. You are a good friend, too." + +They learned that if they work together and do not quit, they can achieve their goals. They also learned that peaches taste better when they are shared with a dependable friend. +Lily was a cat who liked to part her fur with her tongue. She thought she looked very pretty and clean. She did not like other cats who had messy fur or different colors. She was rude to them and said mean things. + +One day, she met a new cat named Tom. Tom had black and white fur and a long tail. He was friendly and wanted to play with Lily. But Lily did not want to play with him. She said, "Your fur is ugly and your tail is too long. Go away, I don't like you." + +Tom felt sad and hurt. He said, "Why are you so rude to me? I just wanted to be your friend. You don't have to be mean to me because I look different. You should be nice to others and not judge them by their fur." + +Lily did not listen to Tom. She turned away and licked her fur. She thought she was better than him and did not need any friends. + +But then, a big dog came and saw Lily. He barked loudly and ran towards her. He wanted to catch her and bite her. Lily was scared and tried to run away. But her fur was too smooth and slippery. She could not climb a tree or hide under a bush. She wished she had a friend to help her. + +Tom saw the dog and Lily. He felt sorry for Lily, even though she was rude to him. He decided to help her. He used his long tail to distract the dog and make him chase him instead. He led the dog away from Lily and to a fence. He jumped over the fence and escaped. The dog could not follow him and gave up. + +Lily was safe, but she felt ashamed. She realized that Tom was brave and kind. He saved her life, even though she was mean to him. She learned that fur does not matter. What matters is what is inside. She wanted to say sorry to Tom and thank him. She hoped he would forgive her and be her friend. + +She ran to the fence and looked for Tom. She saw him on the other side. She called out to him, "Tom, Tom, please come back. I'm sorry I was rude to you. You are a good cat and a good friend. Thank you for helping me. Can we play together?" + +Tom heard Lily and smiled. He was happy that she changed her mind. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You are welcome. Yes, we can play together. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and Tom became friends. They played and had fun. They did not care about their fur. They cared about each other. They learned to be nice and not judge. They were happy. +Sam was a lonely boy. He had no friends to play with. He only had his toys and his cat, Mimi. Mimi was his best friend. She liked to rub her head on his legs and purr. + +One day, Sam's mom went to the store. She said, "Sam, be a good boy and stay inside. Don't open the door for anyone. I'll be back soon." Sam nodded and said, "Okay, mom." + +Sam played with his toys for a while, but he got bored. He wanted to find something new to do. He went to the kitchen and saw the refrigerator. He wondered what was inside. He opened the door and saw many things. He saw milk, cheese, eggs, juice, and more. He also saw a big cake. It looked yummy. He wanted to taste it. + +He reached for the cake, but it was too high. He got a chair and climbed on it. He grabbed the cake and pulled it out. But he was not careful. The cake was heavy and slippery. It fell from his hands and landed on the floor. It made a big mess. Sam was scared. He knew his mom would be angry. + +He heard a meow. He looked and saw Mimi. She was curious. She came to the kitchen and saw the cake. She thought it was food. She licked it and ate some. She liked it. She ate more and more. + +Sam tried to stop her. He said, "No, Mimi, no! That's not good for you. That's mom's cake. Stop, Mimi, stop!" But Mimi did not listen. She ate and ate until the cake was gone. She was full and happy. She rubbed her belly and purred. + +Sam was sad and sorry. He did not know what to do. He heard his mom's car. She was back. He was afraid. He hid under the table with Mimi. He hoped his mom would not see the mess. + +But his mom saw it. She saw the empty plate, the crumbs, the frosting, and the chair. She was very angry. She said, "Sam, what did you do? How could you do this? You ruined my cake. You disobeyed me. You are a bad boy." + +She looked for Sam. She found him under the table with Mimi. She saw Mimi's face. It was covered with frosting. She was even more angry. She said, "And you, Mimi, you are a bad cat. You helped Sam. You ate my cake. You are sick. You need to go to the vet." + +She grabbed Mimi and put her in a cage. She said, "Sam, you stay here. You are in big trouble. I'll be back with Mimi. Don't touch anything else." + +She left with Mimi. Sam was alone. He was lonely. He was sorry. He cried. He wanted his mom. He wanted his cake. He wanted his Mimi. He had no one. He had nothing. He was sad. The end. +Tom and Sue like to play with their bows and arrows. They make them from sticks and strings and feathers. They pretend to be hunters and explorers in the woods. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they find a big tree with a hole in it. They wonder what is inside. Tom says, "Maybe there is a treasure or a secret map or a friendly animal." Sue says, "Let's look and see." They go closer to the hole and peek inside. + +They see a shiny thing that looks like a star. It is very attractive. They want to touch it. Tom says, "I will get it with my arrow." He takes his bow and aims at the shiny thing. He shoots his arrow. + +But the shiny thing is not a star. It is a bee hive. The arrow makes the bees angry. They come out of the hole and buzz loudly. They chase Tom and Sue. Tom and Sue are scared. They run away from the tree and the bees. + +They reach their home and slam the door. They are safe. They are out of breath. They look at each other and say, "That was not a good idea." They laugh and hug. They learn a lesson. They decide to be more careful next time. They still like to play with their bows and arrows, but they do not shoot at shiny things in holes. +Sara likes to organize her toys. She has a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a bag for her blocks. She puts each toy in the right place. She is very neat. + +One day, Sara finds a map in her dad's book.

She uses pink for her dolls, because pink is her favorite color. + +She shows her map to her mom. Mom smiles and says, "What a nice map, Sara! You are very smart. Can you show me where your toys are?" Sara points to the pink box and says, "Dolls." She points to the small box and says, "Cars." She points to the bag and says, "Blocks." Mom nods and says, "Very good, Sara. You organized your toys very well. Do you want to hang your map on the wall?" Sara nods and says, "Yes, please." Mom helps her to tape the map on the wall. Sara is very happy. She likes her map. She likes to organize. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. Anna had a doll that she loved very much. Ben had a car that he liked to zoom around. One day, they decided to try each other's toys. + +"Can I play with your doll, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. But you have to be careful. She is very expensive. My grandma gave her to me for my birthday," Anna said. + +"OK, Anna. I will mind your doll. Can I play with her hair?" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben. But don't pull it too hard. She has a pretty bow," Anna said. + +Anna took Ben's car and started to drive it on the floor. She liked how fast it went. She made vroom-vroom noises. She did not see the cat sleeping on the rug. + +The cat woke up and saw the car coming. He did not like the noise. He jumped up and scratched the car. He made a big dent in it. Anna was scared. She dropped the car and ran to Ben. + +"Ben, Ben! I'm sorry! The cat scratched your car! It has a big dent in it!" Anna cried. + +Ben looked at his car. He was sad. He loved his car. He worked hard to save his money to buy it. He was angry at the cat. He was angry at Anna. + +"Anna, you did not mind my car! You broke it! It was very expensive. I want my car back!" Ben shouted. + +He grabbed his car from the floor. He snatched the doll from Anna's arms. He said, "This is a trade. You broke my car, so I take your doll. Now we are even." + +Anna was shocked. She did not want to trade her doll. She loved her doll. She was sorry for breaking Ben's car. She did not mean to. She tried to get her doll back. + +"Ben, no! Please, give me back my doll! She is very expensive. My grandma gave her to me for my birthday. I will give you something else. I will give you my crayons, or my book, or my candy. Please, Ben, please!" Anna begged. + +But Ben did not listen. He held the doll tight. He said, "No, Anna. This is a fair trade. You have to learn to mind other people's things. This is my doll now. Go away." + +He walked away with the doll. Anna was left alone. She was sad. She cried. She wished she never played with Ben's car. She wished she still had her doll. She wished Ben was still her friend. +Sara loved her toy dragon. She named him Fluffy and took him everywhere. Fluffy was green and soft and had shiny eyes. Sara liked to squeeze Fluffy and hug him tight. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and Fluffy. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She left Fluffy on a bench and climbed up the ladder. She was very excited and happy. + +But when she slid down, she saw a boy holding Fluffy. He was pulling Fluffy's tail and wings. Sara felt angry and scared. She ran to the boy and shouted. + +"Give me back my dragon! He is mine and he is important to me!" + +The boy looked at Sara and laughed. He said. + +"No, he is mine now. He is just a silly toy. You can't have him." + +Sara felt sad and hurt. She wanted to cry. She wished Fluffy could help her. She thought hard and had an idea. She said to the boy. + +"OK, you can have him. But first, you have to squeeze him. He likes that. Squeeze him hard and he will make a noise." + +The boy was curious and greedy. He squeezed Fluffy with both hands. But Fluffy did not make a noise. He made a big squirt of water. He had a hidden water bottle inside him. The water hit the boy's face and made him wet and surprised. + +Sara grabbed Fluffy and ran away. She said to Fluffy. + +"Good job, Fluffy! You are the best dragon ever!" + +She hugged Fluffy and kissed him. Fluffy smiled and winked. Sara and Fluffy were happy and safe. They went to find Sara's mom and told her what happened. Sara's mom was proud of Sara and Fluffy. She said. + +"You are very brave and smart, Sara. And Fluffy is a very special and important dragon. I love you both very much." +Lily wanted to go to the park with her mom. She saw the sun and the birds outside the window. She put on her shoes and her hat. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, can we go to the park, please?" + +Mom looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost noon. She said, "Lily, we have to eat lunch first. Then we can go to the park, okay?" + +Lily did not like to wait. She said, "But mom, I am not hungry. I want to play on the swings and the slide. Please, mom, please." + +Mom smiled and said, "Lily, I know you are excited, but lunch is important. It will give you energy and make you healthy. How about this? If you eat your lunch quickly and nicely, I will give you a sticker. Then we can go to the park and have fun. Deal?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked stickers. She said, "Okay, mom, deal. What are we having for lunch?" + +Mom said, "We are having soup and bread and cheese. Your favorite." + +Lily said, "Yay! That sounds yummy. Let's go to the kitchen." + +Mom and Lily went to the kitchen and ate their lunch. Lily ate all her soup and bread and cheese. She was a good girl. Mom was proud of her. She gave her a sticker. It was a star. Lily said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a successful eater. Now, are you ready to go to the park?" + +Lily said, "Yes, mom, I am ready. Let's go to the park." + +Mom and Lily grabbed their coats and bags and went to the park. They had a wonderful time. They played on the swings and the slide. They saw the flowers and the trees. They met some friends and shared some toys. They laughed and sang and hugged. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a doll that looked like an angel. The doll had a white dress, golden hair and shiny wings. Anna and Ben loved to hug and kiss the doll and pretend she was their friend. + +One day, their mom told them to share the doll with their cousin Lily, who came to visit. Lily was a nice girl, but she did not have many toys at home. She was very happy to see the angel doll and wanted to play with it. Anna and Ben did not want to share. They said the doll was theirs and they did not want to let go. + +Mom was sad to see them fight. She said, "Anna and Ben, you are not being modest. Modest means you do not think you are better than others and you are kind to share. The angel doll is a gift from God, and God wants you to share His gifts with others. If you do not share, the angel doll will be sad too. She will not feel your love and she will fly away." + +Anna and Ben did not believe mom. They thought she was just trying to make them give up the doll. They kept holding the doll and pulling it from each other. They did not notice that the doll's wings started to move. The doll's eyes opened and she looked at them with a sad face. She said, "Anna and Ben, why are you fighting? I love you both, but you are hurting me and each other. You are not being good children. I cannot stay with you if you do not share. I have to go back to heaven and pray for you. Goodbye, my friends." + +The doll's wings flapped and she flew out of their hands. Anna and Ben were shocked and scared. They watched the doll soar into the sky and disappear. They realized they had made a big mistake. They cried and said they were sorry. They wished they had listened to mom and shared the doll with Lily. They learned that being modest and sharing is better than being selfish and greedy. They hoped the angel doll would forgive them and come back someday. +Tom and Sue liked to play in the yard. They had a big ball, a red wagon, and a swing. They also liked to smell the food that Dad cooked on the grill. Dad made yummy things like burgers, hot dogs, and corn. + +One day, Dad had to go to the store. He told Tom and Sue to stay away from the grill. He said it was very hot and could hurt them. He said he would be back soon. Tom and Sue said okay and waved goodbye. + +But Tom was curious. He wanted to see the grill up close. He told Sue to come with him. Sue said no. She said they should listen to Dad. She said they could play with the ball instead. Tom said no. He said he just wanted to look, not touch. He said he would be careful. + +Tom walked to the grill. He saw the black coals and the shiny metal. He saw the smoke and the flames. He felt the heat on his face. He thought it was cool. He reached out his hand to touch the grill. + +Sue saw what Tom was doing. She was scared. She ran to Tom and grabbed his arm. She pulled him away from the grill. She said stop. She said it was dangerous. She said they could get burned. + +Tom felt Sue's tug. He felt a pain in his finger. He looked at his hand. He saw a red mark on his skin. He started to cry. He said ouch. He said it hurt. + +Sue hugged Tom. She said sorry. She said she was trying to prevent him from getting hurt. She said they should go inside and get a band-aid. She said they should tell Dad what happened. + +Tom nodded. He said okay. He said he was sorry too. He said he was silly. He said he should have listened to Dad. He said he learned his lesson. + +They went inside and got a band-aid. They waited for Dad to come back. They hoped he would not be mad. They hoped he would still make them some food on the grill. They hoped he would still love them. They knew he was rich in kindness. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a cute doll with long hair and a pink dress. Ben has a truck with big wheels and a loud horn. They are having fun, but they also want to try something new. + +"Let's make a trap for Mommy!" Sara says, with a mischievous smile. "We can use this string and some of our toys." + +"OK, how do we do that?" Ben asks, curious. + +"Look, we can set the string across the door, like this," Sara explains, tying one end of the string to the doorknob and the other end to the couch. "Then, we can put some of our toys on the floor, like this," she continues, arranging the doll, the truck, and some blocks in a messy pile. "When Mommy comes in, she will trip on the string and fall on the toys!" + +"That sounds funny!" Ben agrees, giggling. "But what if she gets hurt?" + +"She won't get hurt, silly. She will just be surprised and laugh with us," Sara says, confidently. + +They hide behind the couch and wait for Mommy to come. They hear her footsteps in the hall and whisper to each other. + +"Shh, here she comes!" + +"Ready, set, go!" + +Mommy opens the door and sees the string and the toys. She stops and smiles. She knows what her children are up to. She pretends to trip on the string and fall on the toys, making a loud noise. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" she exclaims, dramatically. "Who did this to me?" + +Sara and Ben jump out from behind the couch and shout, "Surprise!" + +They run to Mommy and hug her. Mommy hugs them back and kisses them. + +"That was a very clever trap, my little ones," she says, with a wink. "But you know what? I have a trap for you, too!" + +She tickles them and makes them laugh. They all laugh together and play with the toys. They are happy and love each other. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park near their home. One day, they see a big city across the river. They want to go there and see what it is like. + +They find a boat by the water. It is old and dirty, but it can float. They get in the boat and use sticks to push it. They are happy and excited. They do not tell anyone where they are going. + +The boat goes fast on the river. They see many things they have never seen before. Tall buildings, bridges, cars, people. They lean over the edge of the boat to look closer. They do not see the rocks ahead. + +The boat hits the rocks and breaks. Water fills the boat and it sinks. Tom and Sam scream for help. They are scared and cold. They try to swim, but the water is too strong. They cannot reach the shore. + +A man on the bridge hears them and calls the police. The police come with a big boat and a loud horn. They throw ropes to Tom and Sam and pull them out of the water. They are wet and shivering. They are alive, but they are in trouble. + +The police take them to their parents. Their parents are angry and worried. They hug them and scold them. They ask them why they did such a foolish thing. Tom and Sam do not have a good answer. They feel guilty and sorry. They wish they had never seen the city. They wish they had stayed in the park. They have learned a hard lesson. They will never do it again. +Ben and Sam were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked at their toys, but they were all dull. They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. + +"Let's escape!" Ben said. "Let's go to the park and play basketball!" + +"But how?" Sam asked. "Mom said we can't go out in the rain." + +Ben had an idea. He grabbed his coat and his basketball. He told Sam to do the same. Then he opened the window and climbed out. He threw the basketball to Sam. + +"Come on!" Ben said. "Follow me!" + +Sam was scared, but he wanted to have fun. He put on his coat and caught the basketball. He climbed out of the window too. They ran to the park, laughing and jumping. + +They found a hoop and started to play. They threw the basketball and tried to make it go in. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the rain and their dull toys. + +But then they heard a loud voice. + +"Ben! Sam! What are you doing?" It was Mom. She had seen them from the window. She was angry and worried. She ran to the park and grabbed them. + +"You are in big trouble!" Mom said. "You can't escape like that! You could get hurt or sick! You have to stay inside when it rains!" + +Ben and Sam felt sorry. They knew they had done something bad. They said they were sorry and hugged Mom. They gave her the basketball. + +Mom was still angry, but she loved them. She took them home and gave them some soup. She told them to stay in their room and think about what they had done. + +Ben and Sam were not bored anymore. They were sad. They wished they had not escaped. They wished they had played with their dull toys instead. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big man in a suit. He had a briefcase and a phone. He looked angry and busy. + +"Who is he?" Lily asked Tom. + +"He is a lawyer," Tom said. "He helps people with problems. But he is not nice. He never smiles or says hello." + +"Maybe he has a lot of problems," Lily said. "Maybe we can make him happy. Let's give him a flower." + +Tom and Lily picked a yellow flower from the grass. They ran to the lawyer and said, "Hello, mister. We have a flower for you. It is pretty and smells good." + +The lawyer looked at them and frowned. He did not take the flower. He said, "Go away, you little pests. I don't have time for you. I have to mention a big case to the judge. It is very important and spicy. You don't understand anything. Leave me alone." + +Tom and Lily felt sad and scared. They did not understand why the lawyer was so mean. They ran back to the swings and cried. They did not want to play anymore. They wished the lawyer would be nicer. But he did not care. He walked away with his briefcase and phone. He did not look back. He did not say sorry. He was a bad man. The end. +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They see a big hill with many rocks. They want to climb the hill and find the best rock. + +"Look, Mia, a red rock!" Ben says. He points to a shiny rock on the hill. "Let's go get it!" + +They rush to the hill and start to climb. They use their hands and feet to go up. They are careful not to slip or fall. + +"Ben, wait for me!" Mia says. She is behind Ben. She tries to catch up with him. + +They reach the red rock. It is smooth and bright. Ben picks it up and holds it in his hand. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Mia says. She touches the rock. "Can I have it?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes the rock, but he also likes Mia. He smiles and gives the rock to Mia. + +"Here, you can have it. It is a gift for you," he says. + +Mia is happy. She hugs Ben and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." + +They hold the rock together and look at the park. They see the trees, the flowers, the birds and the sky. They feel happy and proud. They have found the best rock. +Lila and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower that reaches the sky. Lila is bossy. She tells Tom what blocks to use and where to put them. Tom does not like that. He wants to choose his own blocks and make his own tower. + +"Stop being bossy, Lila!" Tom says. "I want to make my own tower!" + +"No, Tom, we have to make one tower together. It will be better and taller. Trust me, I know how to do it." Lila says. + +They argue and push each other. The blocks fall down and make a loud noise. Lila and Tom are sad and angry. They sit on the floor and do not talk. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the mess and the unhappy children. She is not happy either. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting?" + +Lila and Tom tell Mom their story. Mom listens and nods. She understands how they feel. + +"I see. You both wanted to make a tower, but you had different ideas. That is okay. You can have different ideas and still play together. You just have to respect each other and share. Maybe you can take turns to choose the blocks and help each other. Or maybe you can make two towers and see which one is taller. Or maybe you can make something else with the blocks, like a bridge or a house or a rocket. There are many things you can do with blocks. You just have to use your imagination and have fun." Mom says. + +Lila and Tom think about what Mom said. They feel sorry for being bossy and mean. They say sorry to each other and hug. They decide to try Mom's suggestions and play together. They use the blocks to make a rocket that can fly to the moon and the stars and the earth. They pretend to be astronauts and explore the space. They have a lot of fun and laugh. Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of them. She applauds their rocket and their adventure. Lila and Tom hear Mom and smile. They applaud Mom and thank her for her help. They are happy and friends again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play and read together. One day, they have a contest. Who can write the best poem? They use paper and crayons to write their poems. + +Sara writes a poem about a butterfly. She uses words like pretty, colorful, and fly. Tom writes a poem about a dinosaur. He uses words like big, strong, and roar. They are both proud of their poems. + +They show their poems to their teacher, Miss Lee. Miss Lee smiles and says, "You both did a great job! I like your poems very much. Let's share them with the class. Who wants to go first?" + +Sara raises her hand. She is cheerful and excited. She wants to share her poem with everyone. She stands up and reads her poem out loud. The other kids clap and say, "Wow, Sara, your poem is beautiful!" + +Tom feels angry and jealous. He thinks his poem is better than Sara's. He wants to make Sara feel bad. He stands up and says, "Sara, your poem is silly and boring. Butterflies are not cool. Dinosaurs are cool. My poem is better than yours. Listen to my poem!" + +He reads his poem out loud. He uses a loud and mean voice. He makes his dinosaur roar and scare the butterfly. He says, "See, my poem is awesome!" + +The other kids are quiet and scared. They do not like Tom's poem. They think Tom is rude and mean. Sara feels sad and hurt. She does not understand why Tom is so mean to her. She starts to cry. + +Miss Lee is angry and disappointed. She says, "Tom, that was not nice. You should not make fun of Sara's poem. You should not make her cry. You should be kind and respectful to your friends. You should apologize to Sara right now." + +Tom does not apologize. He does not care. He thinks he is better than Sara. He says, "No, I will not apologize. I do not like Sara. I do not like her poem. I do not want to be her friend." + +Miss Lee says, "Tom, you are making a big mistake. You are losing a good friend. You are hurting yourself. You need to learn how to be a good friend. You need to learn how to appreciate other people's poems. You need to learn how to be humble and grateful. Until you learn these things, you will not be happy. You will not have any friends. You will have to sit in the corner and think about what you did." + +She makes Tom sit in the corner. She gives Sara a hug and a tissue. She says, "Sara, do not worry. Your poem is wonderful. You are a good friend. You are a good writer. You have many friends who love you and your poems. Do not let Tom's words hurt you. He is wrong. He is unhappy. He needs to learn how to be a good friend. Maybe one day, he will learn. Maybe one day, he will say sorry. But until then, you do not need him. You have us." + +She makes the other kids cheer up Sara. They say, "Sara, we love you. We love your poem. We are your friends. You are our friend. You make us happy. You make us smile. You are awesome." + +Sara smiles and says, "Thank you. You are awesome too. You are my friends. I love you. I love your poems. I am happy." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of being kind, respectful, and humble to others. It also teaches the value of appreciating and celebrating diversity and creativity. It shows the consequences of being rude, mean, and arrogant to others. It shows the importance of friendship and happiness. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with blocks and cars. But sometimes they fought over the toys. One day, they had a big fight. Tom wanted the red car and Sam wanted the blue car. They both pulled and pulled on the cars. + +"Give me the red car!" Tom shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Sam shouted back. + +They pulled so hard that the cars broke. Snap! The wheels came off and the doors fell down. Tom and Sam looked at the broken cars and felt sad. They had no more cars to play with. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sam said. "I didn't mean to break your car." + +"I'm sorry, too, Sam," Tom said. "I should have shared with you." + +They hugged and said they were sorry. Then they had an idea. They used the blocks and the broken car parts to make new toys. They made a mighty truck and a mighty plane. They had fun playing with their new toys. They learned to share and be kind to each other. They were happy brothers. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, they are playing in Lily's room. Lily has a big dollhouse and Tom has a red car. + +"Look, Tom, this is my dollhouse. It has many rooms and furniture. Do you want to play with me?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, Lily, I like your dollhouse. It is very pretty. Can I put my car in the garage?" Tom says. + +"Sure, Tom, you can put your car in the garage. And I will put my dolls in the living room. They can watch TV and drink milk." Lily says. + +They play happily for a while. Then, Lily's mom comes in. She has a tray with two cups of milk and some cookies. + +"Hello, Tom and Lily. You are playing so nicely. Do you want some milk and cookies?" Lily's mom says. + +"Yes, please, mom. We are hungry and thirsty. Thank you for the milk and cookies." Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily's mom. You are very friendly and kind. I like milk and cookies." Tom says. + +Lily's mom smiles and puts the tray on the table. She gives them each a cup of milk and a cookie. Tom and Lily say cheers and sip their milk. They enjoy their snack and their playtime. They are happy friends. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. But one time, Tim kicked the ball too hard and it flew over the fence. The ball landed in a big pile of thick mud. + +"Oh no, our ball!" Lily cried. "How can we get it back?" + +Tim looked around and saw a big machine near the fence. It had a long arm with a claw at the end. He had an idea. + +"Maybe we can use the machine to rescue our ball!" he said. "Come on, let's try!" + +Tim and Lily ran to the machine and climbed up the ladder. They found a seat with some buttons and a lever. Tim pushed a button and the machine made a loud noise. He pulled the lever and the arm moved. + +"Wow, this is fun!" he said. "Let's see if we can grab the ball!" + +He moved the arm towards the mud and opened the claw. He tried to catch the ball, but it was too slippery. The claw only got some mud and dropped it. + +"Oops, sorry!" he said. "Let me try again!" + +He moved the arm again and closed the claw. This time, he got the ball. He lifted it up and swung it towards the fence. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lily cheered. "We rescued our ball!" + +They jumped out of the seat and ran to the fence. They reached for the ball, but it was too high. They could not get it. + +"Oh no, now what?" Lily asked. "How can we get the ball down?" + +They heard a voice behind them. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing with my machine?" the voice said. + +They turned around and saw a man in a yellow hat. He was the machine's driver. He looked angry. + +"Uh-oh, we're in trouble!" Tim whispered. "Let's run!" + +They ran away from the machine and the man. They left the ball hanging from the claw. They did not want to play with the ball anymore. They wanted to play with something else. Something that did not need a machine to rescue it. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They had a big box that they used as their secret base. They locked the box with a key and hid the key under a rock. + +One day, they heard a loud noise from the house. They ran to see what it was. They saw their mom and dad looking worried. Their mom said, "There is an emergency. We have to go to the hospital. Grandma is sick. We need to take the car." + +Lila and Tom wanted to go with them. They loved their grandma. But their mom said, "No, you have to stay here. Aunt Mary will come soon to look after you. She has a spare key to the house. Be good and wait for her." + +Lila and Tom nodded. They hugged their mom and dad and said, "We hope grandma gets better. We will pray for her." + +Their mom and dad left in a hurry. Lila and Tom went back to the garden. They felt sad and scared. They wanted to play with their toys in the box. But they remembered they had locked the box and hid the key. They looked for the rock, but they could not find it. They had forgotten where they put it. + +They started to cry. They wished they had not locked the box. They wished they had their toys to make them feel better. They wished Aunt Mary would come soon. + +Then they heard a voice. It was Aunt Mary. She had arrived. She saw them crying and asked, "What's wrong, my dears?" + +Lila and Tom told her about the box and the key. Aunt Mary smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have something that can help. It's called a lockpick. It can unlock any lock without a key. It's a special tool for spies. Do you want to see?" + +Lila and Tom nodded. They wiped their tears and followed Aunt Mary. She took out a small metal thing from her purse. She said, "This is a lockpick. You have to be very careful with it. It can be dangerous. Only use it in an emergency. And only use it for good things. Never use it for bad things. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Tom said, "Yes, Aunt Mary. We understand. We are modest spies. We only use our skills for good things." + +Aunt Mary smiled and said, "That's good. Now, let me show you how it works. Watch and learn." + +She went to the box and inserted the lockpick into the lock. She twisted and turned it until she heard a click. She opened the box and said, "Voila! The box is unlocked. You can play with your toys now." + +Lila and Tom cheered and clapped. They thanked Aunt Mary and hugged her. They said, "You are the best spy ever, Aunt Mary. You saved the day." + +Aunt Mary laughed and said, "You are very welcome, my dears. Now, let's play together. Maybe we can find some more clues in the garden." +Tom and Lily were adventurous twins who liked to explore new places. One day, they found a big sheet in the closet and decided to make a tent with it. They took the sheet to the living room and draped it over the sofa and some chairs. Then they crawled inside and pretended they were camping in the forest. + +"Look, Tom, I have a flashlight!" Lily said, turning it on and off. "We can see the stars and the animals." + +"Wow, that's cool, Lily!" Tom said, looking at the shadows on the sheet. "I have a snack for us. Do you want some cookies?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily said, reaching for the bag. "But we have to be quiet, or the bears will hear us." + +They ate some cookies and told each other stories. They had so much fun that they forgot about the time. They did not hear their mom calling them for dinner. + +When their mom came to the living room, she was not happy. She saw the sheet on the floor, covered with crumbs and stains. She saw the flashlight and the cookies. She saw Tom and Lily sleeping under the sheet. + +"Tom! Lily! What have you done?" she said, waking them up. "You have spoiled the sheet! It was a new sheet! And you missed dinner! You are in big trouble!" + +Tom and Lily rubbed their eyes and looked at their mom. They felt sorry for what they did. They did not mean to spoil the sheet. They just wanted to have some adventure. + +"Sorry, mom," they said together. "We were playing tent. We did not know it was a new sheet. We will help you clean it." + +Their mom sighed and hugged them. She was still angry, but she loved them. She knew they were adventurous twins who liked to explore new places. But she also wanted them to be careful and respectful. + +"Next time, ask me before you use something," she said. "And don't skip dinner. You need to eat well to grow strong and healthy. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some soup. And then, you will go to bed early." + +Tom and Lily nodded and followed their mom. They learned their lesson. They still liked to have adventures, but they also wanted to make their mom happy. They hoped she would forgive them and let them play tent again. But with a different sheet. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys. They have balls, dolls, cars, and books. + +One day, they see a rabbit in the garden. The rabbit is brown and fluffy. It has long ears and a short tail. The rabbit is playful. It hops and runs and nibbles on the grass. + +"Look, a rabbit!" Lily says. "It is so cute!" + +"Let's play with it!" Tom says. "Maybe it likes carrots." + +They run to the kitchen and ask mom for some carrots. Mom gives them two big carrots. They say "thank you" and run back to the garden. + +They hold the carrots and call the rabbit. The rabbit sees them and comes closer. It sniffs the carrots and takes a bite. It likes the carrots. It wags its tail and makes a happy sound. + +"Hello, rabbit!" Lily says. "Do you want to be our friend?" + +The rabbit nods and licks Lily's hand. It is friendly. + +"Can we pet you?" Tom asks. + +The rabbit nods and lets Tom stroke its fur. It is soft. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They have a new friend. They play with the rabbit and share their carrots. They have fun in the garden. +Anna likes to eat cauliflower. She likes it when it is soft and white and has cheese on it. She likes to eat it with her fork and make funny noises. + +One day, Anna's mom gives her a new kind of cauliflower. It is purple and green and has no cheese. Anna thinks it looks strange. She does not want to eat it. + +"Try it, Anna. It is good for you," her mom says. "It has a sour taste. You might enjoy it." + +Anna takes a small bite. She makes a face. She does not like it. It is sour and bitter and hard. She spits it out. + +"Yuck! I do not enjoy this cauliflower. It is bad. I want the white one with cheese," she says. + +Her mom smiles. She knows Anna is picky. She gives her a hug. + +"OK, Anna. You do not have to eat it. But maybe you can try it again another day. Sometimes we like new things when we try them more," she says. + +She takes away the purple and green cauliflower and gives Anna the white one with cheese. Anna is happy. She eats it all up and says thank you. She enjoys her cauliflower. +Anna loves to dance. She likes to move her feet and arms to the music. She likes to wear her pink dress and her shiny shoes.

She feels sad and scared. + +Mom and dad hear Anna cry. They run to her and pick her up. They hug her and kiss her. They tell her it is okay. They give her a band-aid and some juice. They make her feel warm and safe. + +Anna stops crying. She smiles at mom and dad. She says thank you. She still wants to dance. She asks mom and dad to dance with her. They say yes. They hold her hands and spin her around. She feels happy again. She loves to dance. +Ben likes to polish his toy car. He has a red cloth and some wax. He makes his car shiny and smooth. He is proud of his car. + +One day, he goes to the park with his mom and his car. He sees some other kids playing with their toys. He wants to join them. He sees a big truck that is brown. He likes the truck. He asks the kid who has the truck if he can play with it. + +The kid says no. He says the truck is his and he does not share. He says Ben's car is small and dull. He laughs at Ben. Ben feels sad and angry. He wants the truck. + +He waits until the kid is not looking. He runs and grabs the truck. He runs away with it. The kid sees him and shouts. He chases Ben. Ben is scared. + +He runs to a trash can. He sees some fire in the trash can. He thinks of a bad idea. He throws the truck in the fire. He thinks the fire will make the truck shiny and smooth like his car. + +But the fire does not make the truck shiny and smooth. The fire makes the truck hot and black. The fire melts the truck. The truck is ruined. + +The kid sees what Ben did. He cries. He is very sad and angry. He tells Ben he is mean and bad. He tells Ben's mom what Ben did. Ben's mom is shocked and mad. She scolds Ben.

He has no friends. He wishes he did not polish his car. He wishes he did not take the truck. He wishes he did not throw the truck in the fire. He wishes he was nice. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with paper and glue. They make animals and cars and stars. They speak to each other and laugh. + +One day, Lily has a great idea. She says to Tom, "Let's make a big house with paper and glue. We can put windows and doors and a roof. We can pretend to live in it." + +Tom likes the idea. He says, "Yes, let's do it. I will get more paper and glue. You can start to cut and fold." + +They work hard and have fun. They make a big house with paper and glue. They put windows and doors and a roof. They are proud of their house. + +They go inside the house and speak to each other. They say, "This is our house. We made it with paper and glue. It is great. We are happy." They smile and hug. They play with their house until it is time to go home. +Anna and Ben like to pretend they are cowboys and cowgirls. They have hats and ropes and horses. They play in the backyard with their dog, Spot. Spot is a good horse. He runs and barks and lets Anna and Ben ride on him. + +One day, they see a big bull in the field next to their house. The bull is black and angry. He has horns and a ring in his nose. He makes loud noises and stomps his feet. Anna and Ben are scared of the bull. They think he will hurt them or Spot. + +"Let's go inside, Ben," Anna says. "The bull is bad. He might break the fence and come after us." + +"No, Anna," Ben says. "We are cowboys and cowgirls. We have to catch the bull and tame him. That's what cowboys and cowgirls do. We have ropes. We can lasso him." + +Anna is not sure. She thinks Ben is brave, but also foolish. She does not want to catch the bull. She wants to be safe. But she does not want to leave Ben alone. She loves her brother. She decides to help him. + +They take their ropes and sneak up to the fence. They see the bull eating grass. He does not see them. They throw their ropes at the bull. They miss. The bull looks up. He sees them. He is angry. He charges at them. + +Anna and Ben scream. They drop their ropes and run. They run to the house. They slam the door. They hug each other. They are scared and sorry. They are not cowboys and cowgirls. They are just kids. + +Spot barks at the bull. The bull stops. He is not interested in the dog. He goes back to the field. He eats more grass. He is not troubled. He is just a bull. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Poem Contest. Speak your poem and win a prize." + +Tom says: "I want to try. I like poems. Do you have a poem, Lily?" + +Lily says: "No, I don't. I am scared. What if I forget the words? What if people laugh at me?" + +Tom says: "Don't be scared. You are brave. You can make up a poem. Just say what you see and feel. I will help you." + +They go to the sign. There is a man with a microphone. He says: "Who wants to speak a poem?" + +Tom raises his hand. He says: "I do. I have a poem about the park." + +The man says: "OK, Tom. Speak your poem." + +Tom says: + +"I like the park +It is green and bright +I see birds and flowers +They make me happy and light +The park is my friend +It is fun and nice +I thank the park +For giving me joy and peace." + +The man says: "That was a good poem, Tom.

He says: "You are welcome, Lily. You are the best friend ever." + +They smile and hold their books. They walk away happy. They love poems. They love each other. They are brave. +Tommy and Lily were twins who liked to play a lot. They had many toys and games, but sometimes they fought over them. One day, they wanted to play with the same boat in the bathtub. They both grabbed the boat and pulled hard. + +"Mine!" Tommy shouted. + +"No, mine!" Lily shouted back. + +They made a lot of noise and splashed water everywhere. Their mom heard them and came to the bathroom. She was not happy. + +"Stop fighting, you two!" she said. "You need to share and take turns. If you can't settle, you can't play with the boat at all." + +Tommy and Lily looked at each other. They did not want to lose the boat. They decided to settle and play nicely. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They gave each other a hug and a smile. + +"Good job, Tommy and Lily," their mom said. "I'm proud of you. Now you can enjoy your bath and have fun with the boat." + +Tommy and Lily nodded and thanked their mom. They put the boat in the bathtub and played with it together. They made up stories and sang songs. They were quiet and happy. They learned that sharing and settling are better than fighting and yelling. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They found a shiny stone under a big flower. Tom picked it up and said, "Look, Lily, I found a diamond!" + +Lily looked at the stone and said, "Wow, it is very pretty! Can I see it?" + +Tom gave the stone to Lily. She held it in her hand and said, "It is heavy! How much does it weigh?" + +Tom said, "I don't know. Let's go to the kitchen and use the scale. Maybe Mom can tell us." + +They ran to the kitchen and put the stone on the scale. The scale showed a big number. Mom saw them and said, "What are you doing, kids?" + +Tom and Lily said, "We found a diamond in the garden! How much does it weigh, Mom?" + +Mom looked at the stone and smiled. She said, "That is not a diamond, kids. That is a glass bead. It is not worth anything. But it is very nice that you shared it with each other. You can keep it as a toy." + +Tom and Lily felt a little sad. They thought they had found a treasure. But they also felt happy. They had a new toy to play with. And they had each other. They hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, kids. You are my precious diamonds. Now, why don't you go back to the garden and have some more fun? It is a beautiful day." + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran back to the garden. They took the glass bead with them. They made a necklace out of it and put it around Lily's neck. She said, "It is very comfortable. And it makes me feel like a princess." + +Tom said, "You are a princess, Lily. And I am a prince. And we have a magic diamond that makes us happy." + +They laughed and played in the garden. They forgot about the scale and the number. They only cared about the shiny stone and each other. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +They asked their mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay together. Lily and Tom said okay and ran to the hill. They held hands and started to climb. They saw many birds, flowers and bugs. They were happy and curious. + +When they reached the top of the hill, they saw something enormous. It was a big, red balloon. It was bigger than a house. It was floating in the sky. They heard a voice from inside the balloon. It said, "Hello, children. Do you want to come for a ride?" + +Lily and Tom were surprised and scared. They did not know who was in the balloon. They did not know where the balloon came from. They did not know where the balloon would go. They looked at each other and shook their heads. They said, "No, thank you. We want to go back to our mom." + +They turned around and ran down the hill. They did not look back at the balloon. They did not want to see it again. They found their mom and hugged her. They told her what they saw. Mom said, "That was a very strange balloon. I'm glad you came back. Maybe it will disappear by next week." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They hoped the balloon would disappear. They did not like it. They liked their mom and their park. They played some more and then went home. They had a good day. +Anna loves animals. She has many toys of animals. She likes to play with them and dress them. She has a hat for her lion, a scarf for her giraffe, and a skirt for her elephant. But her favorite toy is her zebra. She thinks her zebra is adorable. + +One day, Anna wants to dress her zebra in a new way. She looks for something in her closet. She finds a pair of sunglasses and a necklace. She puts them on her zebra. She smiles and says, "You look so cool, zebra!" + +She shows her zebra to her mom. Her mom laughs and says, "What a stylish zebra! Where are you going with him?" + +Anna says, "We are going to the park. We want to see the real animals. Maybe they will like our zebra too." + +Her mom says, "That sounds fun. But don't forget to wear your coat. It's cold outside." + +Anna nods and puts on her coat. She hugs her zebra and says, "Let's go, zebra! We are going to have a great time!" +Tom and Lily were playing in the big house. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. They saw a door that was closed. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's go and see," Tom said. He took Lily's hand and led her to the door. He opened it slowly and peeked inside. + +The room was dark and full of furniture. There were chairs and tables and cabinets and lamps. Some of them were old and dusty and some of them were shiny and new. Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to look closer. + +They walked into the room and touched the furniture. They felt the soft cushions and the hard wood. They opened the drawers and the doors. They found books and toys and pictures and clothes. + +They were having fun until they heard a loud noise. It was a voice that said, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" + +Tom and Lily were frightened. They did not know who the voice belonged to. They thought it was someone angry and scary. They dropped what they were holding and ran to the door. + +They saw a man standing there. He was tall and had a beard and glasses. He looked at them with a stern face. + +"Who are you and what are you doing here?" he repeated. + +Tom and Lily were too scared to answer. They just wanted to get away. They squeezed past the man and ran down the hall. + +They did not stop until they reached the living room. There they saw their mom and dad. They were talking to the man. He was their uncle. He had come to visit them. + +Tom and Lily felt silly and ashamed. They had not recognized their uncle. They had made a mess of his room. They had been rude and rude. + +They went to their uncle and said, "We're sorry, uncle. We didn't know it was you. We were just playing." + +Their uncle smiled and hugged them. He said, "It's okay, kids. I'm not mad at you. I'm glad to see you. I have some stories to tell you about my furniture. Do you want to hear them?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They felt better. They followed their uncle to his room. They listened to his stories and learned new things. They were not frightened anymore. They were happy. +Lily loves to sing. She has a microphone that her dad gave her. It is pink and shiny and makes her voice sound loud. She likes to sing songs from her favorite show, or make up her own words. + +One day, Lily's mom says, "Lily, we have a surprise for you. We are going to visit your grandma and grandpa. They want to hear you sing. They are very proud of you." + +Lily is happy and excited. She packs her microphone in her bag and gets in the car. She sings all the way to her grandma and grandpa's house. They hug her and kiss her and say, "Hello, Lily. We are so happy to see you. Do you have something to show us?" + +Lily nods and takes out her microphone. She says, "I have a microphone. I can sing for you. Do you want to hear me?" + +Her grandma and grandpa smile and say, "Yes, please. We would love to hear you sing. You are very talented, Lily." + +Lily stands up and holds her microphone. She sings a song that she learned at school. It is about a rainbow and a butterfly. She sings with a big smile and a loud voice. Her grandma and grandpa clap and cheer. They say, "Bravo, Lily. You are amazing. You have a beautiful voice. We are very proud of you." + +Lily feels happy and proud. She hugs her grandma and grandpa and says, "Thank you. I love you. I love to sing for you." They hug her back and say, "We love you too, Lily. You are our star." +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big onion in the dirt. They wondered what it was and how it tasted. + +"Let's race to the kitchen and ask Mom," Tom said. + +"OK, but I will win," Lily said. + +They ran as fast as they could, holding the onion between them. They passed by the dog, the swing, and the flowers. They laughed and shouted as they raced. + +But when they got to the kitchen, Mom was not there. She was in the living room, talking on the phone. She looked at them and frowned. + +"What are you doing with that onion?" she asked. "It's not a toy. It's for cooking." + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked at each other. They did not know what cooking was. They wanted to try the onion. + +"Can we eat it?" Tom asked. + +"No, you can't. It's very strong and spicy. It will make you cry," Mom said. + +She took the onion from them and put it on the counter. She told them to go and wash their hands. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They wanted to taste the onion. They thought it would be fun. + +They went to the bathroom and turned on the tap. They put their hands under the water. They felt something wet and cold on their fingers. + +They looked at their hands and saw that they were covered with onion juice. They smelled the onion and made a face. + +"Yuck!" Tom said. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. + +They rubbed their eyes and felt a sting. They started to cry. + +They ran back to the living room and hugged Mom. They told her they were sorry. + +Mom smiled and wiped their tears. She gave them a kiss and a cookie. + +She told them that onions were good for some things, but not for racing. + +Tom and Lily nodded and agreed. They decided to race with something else next time. Something that was not loud, strong, or spicy. Something that was sweet, soft, and fun. +Tim and Jen were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. But they saw a big fence with spikes on top. They wondered what was behind the fence. + +"Let's go see," Tim said. He was brave and curious. + +"No, Tim, we can't. It's too hard to climb. And the spikes are sharp. They can hurt us," Jen said. She was scared and careful. + +But Tim did not listen. He wanted to see. He found a box and put it near the fence. He climbed on the box and grabbed the fence. He tried to pull himself up. + +"Ow!" Tim cried. He felt a spike poke his hand. He let go of the fence and fell off the box. He landed on the ground and hurt his knee. He started to cry. + +Jen ran to him and hugged him. She saw blood on his hand and his knee. She was very sad and sorry. + +"Tim, Tim, are you okay?" Jen asked. + +Tim shivered and sobbed. He was in pain and cold. He wished he had listened to Jen. + +"I'm not okay, Jen. I'm hurt. I'm sorry. I was silly. Can you help me?" Tim said. + +Jen nodded and wiped his tears. She took off her scarf and wrapped it around his hand. She helped him stand up and walk. She looked for a grown-up to help them. + +But there was no one in the park. It was getting dark and cold. They were alone and lost. They did not know how to get home. They were afraid and hungry. + +They walked and walked, but they did not find anyone. They did not find their home. They did not find their mom and dad. They only found more fences and spikes and hard things. + +They did not have a happy ending. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with boats. They have many boats of different colors and sizes. They go to the pond near their house. They find a large stick. They use the stick to send their boats across the water. + +"Look, Lily, my red boat is very fast!" Tom says. He pushes his boat with the stick. His boat makes a big splash. + +"Wow, Tom, your boat is fast. But my yellow boat is faster!" Lily says. She pushes her boat with the stick. Her boat makes a bigger splash. + +They send their boats back and forth. They have fun. They make a row of boats on the water. They count their boats. They have six boats in total. + +"Let's make a race, Lily. The first boat to reach the other side wins!" Tom says. + +"OK, Tom, let's race. But you have to be fair. No cheating!" Lily says. + +They pick their favorite boats. They push them with the stick at the same time. They watch their boats go. They cheer for their boats. + +"Go, go, go, red boat!" Tom says. + +"Go, go, go, yellow boat!" Lily says. + +The boats are very close. They are almost at the other side. Who will win? +Tom had a loose tooth. It wiggled when he ate and when he talked. He wanted to pull it out, but he was scared. He asked his mom for help. + +"Mom, can you pull my tooth out?" he said. + +"Are you sure, Tom? It might hurt a little," his mom said. + +"I'm sure, Mom. I want to see the tooth fairy. She will give me a coin for my tooth," Tom said. + +"Okay, Tom. Let me get some string and a door. I have an idea," his mom said. + +She tied one end of the string to Tom's tooth and the other end to the door knob. She told Tom to stand still and smile. Then she opened the door quickly. + +Pop! Tom's tooth came out with the string. He felt a little pain, but he was happy. He held his tooth in his hand and looked at it. + +"Wow, Mom! You did it! You pulled my tooth out!" he said. + +"Good job, Tom! You are very brave. Now, let's put your tooth under your pillow and wait for the tooth fairy. But first, how about some yummy ice cream to celebrate?" his mom said. + +"Yes, please! I love ice cream. It is yummy and cold. It will make my mouth feel better," Tom said. + +They went to the kitchen and had some ice cream. Tom chose chocolate, his favorite flavor. He ate it carefully with his tongue. He was happy and proud. He couldn't wait to see the tooth fairy. He hoped she would like his tooth. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They saw a big knife on the counter. It looked shiny and sharp. + +"Let's use the knife to cut the bread," Tom said. + +"No, Tom, that's a bad idea," Lily said. "The knife is not for us. It is for Mom and Dad. They can cut things with it. We can get hurt." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He wanted to use the knife. He reached for it and grabbed it. He felt the blade cut his finger. He dropped the knife and cried. + +"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. She ran to him and saw the blood on his finger. She was scared. + +"Ow, ow, it hurts," Tom said. He held his finger and sobbed. + +Lily looked around for something to help. She saw an empty box of band-aids on the table. She opened it and hoped to find one inside. But there was nothing. The box was empty. + +"Oh no, Tom, there are no band-aids," Lily said. "What can we do?" + +Tom and Lily heard the door open. It was Mom and Dad. They came home from work. They saw Tom and Lily in the kitchen. They saw the knife and the blood and the empty box. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +"Tom cut his finger with the knife," Lily said. "We were playing chefs. I told him not to use it, but he did not believe me. And there are no band-aids." + +Mom and Dad hugged Tom and Lily. They were not angry, but they were worried. They took Tom to the bathroom and washed his finger. They put a band-aid on it and kissed it. They told Tom and Lily that they loved them, but they should never play with knives. They said knives are dangerous and can hurt them. They said they should always listen to each other and be careful. + +Tom and Lily said they were sorry. They said they learned their lesson. They said they would not play with knives again. They said they would believe each other and be safe. They hugged Mom and Dad and thanked them. They felt better. They went to their room and played with their toys. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to go on the slide and the swings. But today, they see a new thing. It is a big green ball. It is very round and shiny. + +Lily and Ben both want to play with the ball. They run to it and try to grab it. But they cannot both have it. They start to pull and push. They are not being nice. They are being mean. + +The ball is too slippery. It flies out of their hands. It rolls away very fast. Lily and Ben chase after it. They do not look where they are going. They bump into a tree. They fall down and hurt themselves. They cry and cry. + +A nice lady comes to help them. She has a bag with bandages and stickers. She sees their cuts and bruises. She says, "Oh, you poor things. You need some bandages. I have many colors. You can choose which one you like." + +Lily and Ben stop crying. They look at the bandages. They see red, blue, yellow, pink, and green. They both like green. They both want the green bandage. They start to argue again. They say, "I want the green one. No, I want the green one. Give it to me. No, give it to me." + +The nice lady shakes her head. She says, "You are being silly. There are enough bandages for both of you. You can both have a green one. Or you can have different colors. It does not matter. What matters is that you are kind and share. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben think about it. They feel sorry for being mean. They say, "Yes, we can do that. We are sorry. We will be kind and share." They smile and hug. They choose their bandages. Lily chooses a green one and a pink one. Ben chooses a green one and a blue one. The nice lady puts the bandages on their cuts and bruises. She gives them stickers too. They say, "Thank you, nice lady. You are very nice." + +The nice lady says, "You are welcome, Lily and Ben. You are very brave. Now, go and play nicely. And be careful with the ball. It is very slippery." She waves goodbye and leaves. + +Lily and Ben go back to the ball. They take turns to roll it and kick it. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to dig holes and find rocks. They had a big pile of rocks that they called their mine. They were very proud of their mine. + +One day, a big boy named Max came to the yard. He saw Tom and Lily's mine and wanted to take it. He said, "This is my mine now. You have to give me all your rocks or I will hit you." + +Tom and Lily were scared of Max. He was very big and powerful. They did not want to give him their rocks. They said, "No, this is our mine. We worked hard to find these rocks. Go away!" + +Max did not listen. He grabbed a big rock from the pile and threw it at Tom. It hit Tom on the head and made him cry. Lily ran to help Tom. She saw blood on his head. She was very scared. + +She picked up a small rock and threw it at Max. She hoped to make him go away. But Max was too fast. He caught the rock and examined it. He laughed and said, "This is a stupid rock. It is not shiny or pretty. Your mine is worthless. You are worthless." + +He threw the rock back at Lily. It hit her on the eye and made her cry. Max took the rest of the rocks and ran away. He left Tom and Lily alone in the yard. They were hurt and sad. They lost their mine and their fun. They wished Max never came. +Timmy liked to hold his penny. It was shiny and round and he found it on the street. He kept it in his pocket and sometimes he took it out to look at it. He thought it was a lucky penny. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and his sister. They played on the swings and the slide and had a lot of fun. Timmy had his penny in his pocket and he was happy. + +But then, he saw a big boy who looked troubled. He had a frown on his face and he was sitting on a bench. He had no toys and no friends. Timmy felt sorry for him and wondered if he could make him smile. + +He walked up to the big boy and said hello. The big boy looked at him and said nothing. Timmy took out his penny and showed it to him. He said, "This is my lucky penny. It is shiny and round and I found it on the street. Do you want to hold it?" + +The big boy was surprised and curious. He reached out his hand and took the penny. He looked at it and felt its weight. He smiled a little and said, "Thank you. It is a nice penny. Can I keep it?" + +Timmy thought for a moment. He liked his penny, but he liked the big boy's smile more. He nodded and said, "Yes, you can keep it. It is your lucky penny now. Maybe it will make you happy." + +The big boy hugged Timmy and said, "You are very kind. You are my friend. What is your name?" + +Timmy smiled and said, "My name is Timmy. What is yours?" + +The big boy said, "My name is Ben. Do you want to play with me?" + +Timmy said, "Yes, I do. Let's go to the swings." + +They ran to the swings and played together. Timmy forgot about his penny, but he did not mind. He had a new friend and he was happy. +Lily was sad. Her knee was hurt. She fell from her bike and it was red and sore. She cried and ran to her mom. + +"Mom, mom, help me! My knee is hurt!" she said. + +Mom hugged her and looked at her knee. She took a wet cloth and cleaned it gently. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. + +"There, there. It will heal soon, my sweetie. You are very brave," she said. + +Lily smiled a little and hugged her mom. She felt better. + +They went to the living room and sat on the couch. They read a book together. Lily liked the book. It had pictures of animals and colors and shapes. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. Lily was scared. She hid her face in her mom's chest. + +"Mom, what is that? It is scary!" she said. + +Mom stroked her hair and said, "It is thunder, Lily. It is the sound of the clouds. Sometimes they make noise when it rains. But it is not scary. It is just nature. It will go away soon." + +Lily looked up and saw the window. It was dark and rainy outside. She saw flashes of light. They were lightning. She was curious. + +"Mom, what is that? It is bright!" she said. + +Mom said, "It is lightning, Lily. It is the light of the clouds. Sometimes they make light when it rains. But it is not dangerous. It is just nature. It is beautiful." + +Lily nodded and watched the lightning. She saw different colors and shapes. She liked them. She was not scared anymore. + +She said, "Mom, can we go outside and see the rain?" + +Mom said, "Not now, Lily. It is wet and cold outside. We can stay here and be cozy and warm. Maybe later, when the rain stops, we can go outside and see the rainbow." + +Lily said, "Okay, mom. I like the rainbow. It has many colors and it is wide. It is pretty." + +Mom said, "Yes, it is, Lily. You are pretty too. And smart and kind and strong. I love you very much." + +Lily said, "I love you too, mom. You are the best mom ever." + +They hugged and kissed and cuddled on the couch. They finished the book and sang a song. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their big house. One day, they found a big sack in the attic. It was full of old clothes and toys. They decided to have some fun with it. + +"Let's pretend we are pirates and this is our treasure!" Tom said. + +"Okay, but we have to be careful. The stairs are steep and the sack is heavy," Lily said. + +They took turns carrying the sack down the stairs, pretending to fight off enemies and sharks. They reached the living room and dumped the sack on the floor. + +"Wow, look at all this stuff! We are rich!" Tom said. + +He picked up a hat and a sword and put them on. Lily found a necklace and a doll and smiled. + +"Let's play dress up!" she said. + +They started to try on different clothes and toys, making up stories and jokes. They had so much fun that they forgot about the time. + +"Tom! Lily! Time for dinner!" their mom called from the kitchen. + +They heard her voice and realized they had made a big mess. + +"Oh no, we have to clean up!" Lily said. + +She started to put the clothes and toys back in the sack. Tom looked at the sack and frowned. + +"But I don't want to. This is our treasure. We should keep it," he said. + +He grabbed the sack and tried to pull it away from Lily. Lily held on and tried to stop him. + +"Stop it, Tom! You are being selfish. We have to share and be nice," she said. + +They tugged and pulled, but the sack was too heavy. It slipped from their hands and rolled down the stairs. It hit the wall with a loud thud and ripped open. Clothes and toys flew everywhere. + +Tom and Lily gasped and ran after the sack. They saw their mom standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking angry and surprised. + +"What is going on here? What have you done?" she asked. + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed and scared. They knew they had been naughty and careless. They looked at each other and said sorry. + +"We are sorry, mom. We found this sack in the attic and we wanted to play with it. But we fought over it and it fell down the stairs. We didn't mean to make a mess," they said. + +Their mom sighed and shook her head. + +"I'm glad you are sorry, but you should have asked me first. This sack belongs to your grandma. She gave it to me to donate to the charity. These clothes and toys are for children who don't have much. You should be grateful for what you have and think of others who have less," she said. + +She helped them pick up the clothes and toys and put them back in the sack. She hugged them and said she loved them. + +"I love you, mom. We love you, too," Tom and Lily said. + +They learned their lesson and promised to be more careful and kind. They went to the kitchen and had dinner. They felt safe and happy in their mom's arms. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see their dad's wallet on the table. It is brown and shiny. It has a zipper and a button. + +"Look, Sam, dad's wallet!" Tim says. He wants to open it and see what is inside. + +"No, Tim, we can't touch it. It is dad's. He will be angry," Sam says. He is scared of dad's anger. + +But Tim does not listen. He is impatient. He grabs the wallet and runs to his room. Sam follows him. + +"Tim, stop! Give it back!" Sam shouts. + +Tim opens the wallet. He sees cards and papers and money. He likes the money. It is green and has numbers. He takes some money and puts it in his pocket. + +"Wow, Tim, you can't do that! That is stealing! Dad needs the money!" Sam says. He is worried and sad. + +But Tim does not listen. He is greedy. He wants to buy candy and toys. He laughs and runs out of the room. Sam follows him. + +"Tim, come back! You are in trouble!" Sam cries. + +But Tim does not listen. He is foolish. He runs to the store and tries to buy candy and toys. But the store man sees the money and knows it is dad's. He is angry and calls dad. + +Dad comes to the store. He sees Tim and the money and the wallet. He is very angry and sad. He takes Tim and the money and the wallet. He scolds Tim and makes him say sorry. He takes him home and punishes him. + +Sam is at home. He is glad dad is back. He hugs dad and says sorry too. He listens to dad and does not touch the wallet. He is a good boy. +Lily was very happy today. She had a new dress with flowers and butterflies. She wanted to show it to her friends at school. She asked her mom to help her dress. + +"Mom, can you dress me? I want to look pretty for school," Lily said. + +"Of course, my sweetie. You look very pretty in your new dress. But you have to be careful, okay? Your dress is fragile. It can tear easily if you play too rough," Mom said. + +"I will be careful, Mom. I promise. I will not run or jump or slide. I will just walk and talk and smile," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and kissed Lily on the cheek. She helped her dress and put on her shoes and backpack. Then they went to the car and drove to school. + +Lily was excited to see her teacher and her friends. She ran to the classroom and opened the door. She saw many colorful pictures and toys and books. She also saw her teacher, Miss Rose, and her friends, Ben, Mia, and Sam. + +"Hi, Lily! You are here! We missed you yesterday. Are you feeling better?" Miss Rose said. + +"Yes, Miss Rose. I am feeling much better. Thank you. Look at my new dress. Do you like it?" Lily said. + +"Oh, Lily, your dress is beautiful. I love the flowers and butterflies. You look like a fairy princess," Miss Rose said. + +Lily smiled and twirled around. She felt very happy and proud. She wanted to show her dress to her friends too. She walked to the table where they were sitting and playing with blocks. + +"Hi, Ben, Mia, Sam. Look at my new dress. Do you like it?" Lily said. + +Ben, Mia, and Sam looked at Lily and her dress. They liked it too. They said nice things to Lily. + +"Wow, Lily, your dress is very pretty. I like the colors," Ben said. + +"Me too. Your dress is very shiny. I like the sparkles," Mia said. + +"Me too. Your dress is very soft. I like the fabric," Sam said. + +Lily felt very happy and proud. She thanked her friends and sat down with them. She played with the blocks and made a tower. She was careful not to tear her dress. She had a wonderful day at school. She loved her new dress and her friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cranes in the sandbox. They liked to pretend they were building a big tower with sand and stones. Lily had a yellow crane and Ben had a blue one. + +"Look, Lily, my tower is almost complete!" Ben said, lifting a stone with his crane and placing it on top of his sand pile. "How about yours?" + +Lily looked at her tower and felt worried. It was much smaller than Ben's and it looked wobbly. She tried to add more sand, but it kept falling off. She wanted her tower to be complete too, but she didn't know how. + +"Ben, can you help me?" Lily asked, looking at her friend with big eyes. "My tower is not complete and it is not strong. How do you make your tower so big and nice?" + +Ben smiled and drove his crane over to Lily's tower. He saw that she had used too many stones and not enough sand. He had an idea. + +"Lily, I can help you, but we have to work together. You can use your crane to take some stones from your tower and give them to me. I can use my crane to give you some sand from my tower. Then we can both have complete towers that are strong and pretty. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She liked Ben's idea and she liked working with him. They used their cranes to exchange stones and sand, and soon they both had complete towers that looked alike. They were very proud of their work and gave each other a high five. + +"Wow, Lily, your tower is complete and beautiful!" Ben said, admiring her tower. + +"Thank you, Ben, your tower is complete and wonderful too!" Lily said, admiring his tower. + +They hugged their cranes and decided to play something else. They were happy and not worried anymore. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to draw with crayons. They had a big box of crayons with many colors. Tom liked to draw cars and trucks, and Lily liked to draw flowers and butterflies. They shared the crayons and had fun. + +One day, they found a new crayon in the box. It was shiny and gold, and it looked very special. Tom and Lily both wanted to use it. They started to fight over the crayon. They pulled and tugged and yelled. "It's mine!" Tom said. "No, it's mine!" Lily said. They were very angry and sad. + +Dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw the twins fighting over the crayon. He was bald and had a big beard. He looked serious and kind. He took the crayon from them and asked them why they were fighting. Tom and Lily told him that they both wanted the crayon. Dad said, "This crayon does not belong to you. It belongs to me. I put it in the box by mistake. It is not for drawing. It is for writing checks and bills. It is not fun. It is boring." + +Tom and Lily looked at the crayon and saw that it was not shiny and gold anymore. It was dull and gray. They felt silly and sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Dad. We didn't know. We don't want the crayon anymore. We want to draw with the other crayons. Can we share them?" Dad said, "Of course you can. Sharing is good. Fighting is bad. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Here, take the crayons and have fun. But don't touch my crayon again." He gave them a hug and a smile. + +Tom and Lily took the crayons and went back to their drawing. They said, "Thank you, Dad. We love you." They drew cars and trucks, and flowers and butterflies. They used many colors and made beautiful pictures. They were happy and friendly. They learned to share and not to fight. They did not care about the crayon that did not belong to them. They had all the crayons they needed. +Tom and Sue like to play with words. They make poems with rhymes and sounds. They have a book of poems that they read together. The book is old and cheap, but they love it. + +One day, they find a new book of poems in the library. It is big and shiny, with many pictures. They want to read it, but it is not for them. It is for big kids who know many words. The librarian says they can look at it, but not take it home. + +Tom and Sue look at the new book. They see words they do not know. They try to guess what they mean. They make up their own poems with the new words. They think they are very clever and funny. + +They laugh and laugh, until they hear a voice behind them. It is a big kid who wants the book. He is angry and mean. He says they are stupid and silly. He says they are ruining his book with their bad poems. He grabs the book from them and pushes them away. + +Tom and Sue are sad and scared. They run to the librarian and tell her what happened. The librarian is sorry and kind. She says they can have their old book back. She says they can keep it, because it is cheap and nobody wants it. + +Tom and Sue take their old book and go home. They hug it and cry. They do not want to play with words anymore. They do not like poems. They do not like the new book. They do not like the big kid. They do not like the library. They do not like anything. +Lily and Tom wanted to bake a cake for Mom's birthday. They went to the kitchen and looked for the things they needed. They opened the cabinet and saw a big bag of flour, a box of eggs, a jar of sugar, and a bottle of milk. + +"Let's use these," Lily said, taking out the flour and the eggs. "We need a bowl and a spoon too." + +Tom nodded and climbed on a chair to reach the bowl and the spoon. He was careful not to drop them. He put them on the table and helped Lily pour the flour and crack the eggs. + +They mixed everything together and added some sugar and milk. The batter looked yummy and smooth. They poured it into a pan and put it in the oven. + +"Now we have to wait," Tom said, setting the timer. "What can we do?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She saw some sprinkles and frosting in the cabinet. She had an idea. + +"Let's make the cake pretty," she said, taking them out. "We can draw a heart and write 'Happy Birthday Mom' on it." + +Tom agreed and they waited for the cake to bake. They smelled the sweet aroma and heard the timer beep. They put on oven mitts and took out the cake. It was golden and fluffy. + +They let it cool down and then spread the frosting on top. They used the sprinkles to make a heart and wrote 'Happy Birthday Mom' with a squeeze bottle. + +They were very proud of their cake. They put it on a plate and carried it to the living room. They saw Mom sitting on the couch, reading a book. + +"Surprise!" they shouted, showing her the cake. "We made this for you!" + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She was very happy and touched. She thanked them and cut a slice for each of them. They ate the cake and enjoyed it. It was the best cake ever. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pond near their house. They wanted to see what was in the pond, so they ran to it. + +"Look, Lily, there are ducks!" Tom said, pointing to the water. "They are swimming and quacking. Can we feed them?" + +Lily nodded and took out some bread from her pocket. She broke it into small pieces and threw them to the ducks. The ducks came to the bread and ate it. They looked happy and made more quacks. + +"Hello, ducks!" Lily said. "We are Lily and Tom. Do you want to be our friends?" + +One of the ducks came closer to Lily and Tom. It was an old duck, with white feathers and a yellow beak. It looked at them with kind eyes and nodded. + +"Hello, Lily and Tom," the old duck said. "We are happy to see you. You are very nice to share your bread with us. We are the ducks of the pond. My name is Daisy, and these are my children and grandchildren." + +Lily and Tom were surprised and happy to hear the old duck talk. They smiled and asked her many questions. They learned that Daisy had lived in the pond for a long time, and that she knew many stories and secrets. She told them about the fish, the frogs, the turtles, and the other animals that lived in and around the pond. She also told them about the seasons, the stars, the moon, and the sun. + +Lily and Tom listened to Daisy with wonder and curiosity. They felt like they had made a new friend. They thanked her for her stories and promised to come back soon. They said goodbye to the ducks and ran back to their house. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They were very happy and excited. They could not wait to visit the pond and Daisy again. +Anna and Ben are going to visit their grandma. They have to pack their bags. Anna likes to pack her toys and books. Ben likes to pack his cars and balls. + +"Look, Anna, I have a green car. It is very fast and shiny," Ben says. He puts the car in his bag. + +Anna looks at her brother. She does not like his car. She thinks it is ugly. She has a green doll. It is very pretty and soft. She hugs her doll. + +"Your car is ugly, Ben. It is not green. It is brown and dirty. My doll is green. It is beautiful and clean," Anna says. She puts her doll in her bag. + +Ben feels sad. He likes his car. He thinks it is green. He does not like his sister's doll. He thinks it is ugly. He wants to make her sad too. + +"Your doll is ugly, Anna. It is not green. It is yellow and old. My car is green. It is new and cool," Ben says. He takes his car out of his bag. + +Anna feels angry. She likes her doll. She thinks it is green. She does not like her brother's car. She thinks it is ugly. She wants to make him angry too. + +"Your car is ugly, Ben. It is not green. It is black and broken. My doll is green. It is fresh and cute," Anna says. She takes her doll out of her bag. + +They start to fight. They pull and push each other. They shout and cry. They forget to pack their bags. + +Their mom comes in. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She stops them. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? You have to pack your bags. We have to go to grandma's soon. Stop being silly. Your car and your doll are both green. They are both nice. You can share them. Now, pack your bags and say sorry to each other," their mom says. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They stop fighting. They pack their bags. They say sorry to each other. They hug each other. + +They are ready to go to grandma's. They hope she has some cookies for them. They love their grandma. They love their car and their doll. They love each other. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used some real food from the fridge, like cheese and eggs and carrots. + +One day, Tom had a great idea. He said to Lily, "Let's make ice cream! We can use milk and sugar and vanilla. And we can put it in the freezer to make it cold and hard." Lily liked the idea. She said, "Yes, let's do that! Ice cream is my favorite. What flavor do you want?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He said, "I want chocolate. Do we have any chocolate?" Lily said, "I don't know. Let's look in the freezer. Maybe there is some there." They opened the freezer and looked inside. They saw some frozen peas, some ice cubes, and a big bag of something brown. + +Tom said, "Look, there is chocolate! Let's use that for our ice cream." He reached for the bag and pulled it out. He opened it and smelled it. He said, "Mmm, it smells good. Let's put some in our bowl." He poured some of the brown stuff into the bowl with the milk and sugar and vanilla. He stirred it with a spoon. + +Lily said, "Wait, Tom. That is not chocolate. That is coffee. Mommy and Daddy drink coffee in the morning. It is not for ice cream. It is bitter and hot." Tom said, "Oh, no. I made a mistake. I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know. I should have asked Mommy or Daddy first." Lily said, "It's okay, Tom. We can try again. But we have to clean the bowl and the spoon first. And we have to put the coffee back in the freezer. And we have to be careful not to make a mess." + +They cleaned the bowl and the spoon with a cloth. They put the coffee back in the freezer. They looked for some real chocolate in the cupboard. They found some and broke it into pieces. They put it in the microwave to melt it. They added it to the bowl with the milk and sugar and vanilla. They stirred it with a spoon. They put the bowl in the freezer. + +They waited for a long time. They played with their toys and read some books. They checked the freezer every now and then. Finally, the ice cream was ready. It was cold and hard and chocolatey. They scooped some into two cups. They ate it with spoons. They said, "Mmm, this is the best ice cream ever. We are good chefs. We made it ourselves." + +Mommy and Daddy came home from work. They saw Tom and Lily in the kitchen. They saw the ice cream cups and the bowl in the freezer. They said, "What did you do today, kids?" Tom and Lily said, "We made ice cream. Do you want some?" Mommy and Daddy said, "Sure, we would love some. How did you make it?" Tom and Lily told them the whole story. They mentioned the coffee and the chocolate and the freezer and the microwave. They also mentioned how they cleaned everything and didn't make a mess. Mommy and Daddy said, "Wow, you are very clever and creative and responsible. We are proud of you. And your ice cream is delicious. Thank you for sharing it with us." Tom and Lily smiled. They said, "You're welcome. We love you." They hugged Mommy and Daddy. They were happy. +Sara and Ben wanted to give Mom a gift for her birthday. They found a pretty scarf in the closet that Mom never wore. They decided to wrap it with some paper and a ribbon. + +They got some paper from the drawer and a ribbon from the box. They put the scarf on the paper and folded it over. They used tape to stick the paper together. Then they tied the ribbon around the paper in a bow. + +"Look, Ben, we did it!" Sara said. "Mom will love it!" + +"Yes, she will!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. We don't want her to see it before her birthday." + +They looked around for a good place to hide the gift. They saw a big basket under the table. They lifted the lid and put the gift inside. They closed the lid and smiled. + +"Shh, don't tell Mom!" Sara said. + +"OK, I won't!" Ben said. + +They ran to the living room and waited for Mom to come home. They were very excited to see her smile when she opened their gift. They loved Mom very much. +Lila was a little dog who lived in a big city. She liked to run and play with other dogs in the park, but she did not like the loud noises and the dirty smells of the cars and the trash. Sometimes she got lost and could not find her way back to her home. + +One day, Lila saw a human who looked kind and friendly. He had a big smile and a shiny thing around his neck. He called to Lila and said, "Come here, little dog. I have a treat for you." Lila was hungry and curious, so she ran to the human. She hoped he would give her some food and take her to a nice place. + +But the human was not kind and friendly. He was mean and greedy. He grabbed Lila by the collar and put her in a cage. He said, "You are a pretty dog. I can sell you for a lot of money." He put the cage in a truck and drove away. Lila was scared and sad. She barked and cried, but no one heard her. + +The truck stopped at a dark and dirty place. There were many other dogs in cages, and they all looked sick and sad. The human took Lila out of the cage and gave her to another human. He said, "This is the dog I told you about. She is very young and healthy. You can have her for a hundred dollars." The other human looked at Lila and said, "She is too small and skinny. I don't want her. Give me another one." + +The first human was angry and said, "Fine. I'll take her to the pound. They'll put her to sleep." He threw Lila back in the cage and drove away. Lila did not know what the pound was, but she knew it was not a good place. She wished she had never trusted the human. She wished she could go back to the park and play with her friends. She wished she could find her home. But she knew it was too late. She closed her eyes and waited for the end. +Tom likes to drive his toy car. He has a red car that makes noises and has lights. He drives it around the house and the yard.

Give me your car right now." + +Tom feels very embarrassed. He does not want to give his car to the teacher. He likes his car and he thinks his friends like it too. He thinks the teacher is mean and does not understand. He says, "No, this is my car. I want to drive it. Please let me keep it." + +The teacher is angry. She says, "Tom, you are being rude and naughty. You have to follow the rules. If you do not give me your car, you will have to go to the office and talk to the principal. Do you want that?" + +Tom is scared. He does not want to go to the office. He does not want to talk to the principal. He thinks the principal is scary and will be mad at him. He says, "No, I do not want that. I am sorry. Here is my car." + +The teacher takes Tom's car and puts it in a drawer. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You can have your car back at the end of the day. But you have to promise me you will not bring it to class again. Do you understand?" + +Tom nods. He says, "Yes, I understand. I promise. I am sorry." He feels very sad and embarrassed. He wishes he did not bring his car to class. He wishes he could drive it and play with his friends. He hopes the day will end soon. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big dog with a long tail. The dog was brown and white and had a red collar. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He was holding a book and a cup. He had pale skin and dark hair. He did not look at them. + +"Excuse me, sir. Is this your dog?" Lily called out. + +The man did not answer. He did not hear them. He was reading his book and drinking his cup. + +"Let's go closer. Maybe he can't hear us from here," Ben said. + +They walked towards the bench. The dog saw them and wagged its tail. It looked friendly and happy. It wanted to play. + +"Hi, doggy. You are very cute. Can we pet you?" Lily said. + +The dog barked and licked Lily's face. Lily giggled and stroked its fur. Ben joined her and scratched its ears. The dog liked them and nuzzled their arms. + +They did not notice that the man had put down his book and cup. He had seen them and was angry. He did not like strangers touching his dog. He got up and walked towards them. + +"Hey, you kids. Get away from my dog. He is not for you. He is mine," he shouted. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know the man was the owner. They did not mean to make him mad. They let go of the dog and backed away. + +"Sorry, sir. We did not know. We just wanted to say hello to your dog. He is very nice," Ben said. + +The man did not listen. He grabbed the dog's collar and pulled it away. He glared at them and muttered something. He walked away with the dog. + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They liked the dog. They wished the man was nicer. They decided to follow the dog and the man. Maybe they could make friends with them. Maybe they could pet the dog again. + +They ran after them. They kept a distance. They did not want the man to see them. They hoped the dog would see them and remember them. They followed them until they reached a big house. The man opened the gate and went inside with the dog. + +Lily and Ben stopped at the gate. They looked at the house. It was pale and old and had many windows. They wondered what was inside. They wondered if the dog was happy there. They wondered if they could ever see the dog again. +Lily likes to look at magazines. She likes the bright pictures of animals and toys and people.

It has a big bright picture of a cake on the front. Lily loves cake. She wants to look at the magazine and ask about the cake. But mom and dad are not home. They are at work. Lily is with her big sister, Anna. + +Lily goes to Anna and shows her the magazine. She says, "Can I look at this? Can you read to me?" Anna is busy. She is doing her homework on the computer. She says, "No, Lily. This is not for you. This is mom's magazine. She likes to bake cakes. You can't touch it. Go play with your toys." + +Lily is sad and angry. She wants to look at the magazine. She wants to learn about the cake. She thinks Anna is mean. She says, "But I like cake too. Why can't I look at it? It's not fair." She tries to grab the magazine from the table. + +Anna sees Lily and gets mad. She says, "Stop it, Lily. You are being naughty. You will rip the magazine. Mom will be upset. Leave it alone." She pushes Lily away from the table. + +Lily falls down and starts to cry. She says, "You are a bad sister. You don't share. You don't care." She runs to her room and slams the door. + +Anna feels sorry for Lily. She knows she was harsh. She knows Lily is curious and bored. She finishes her homework and goes to Lily's room.

I just wanted to see the magazine." Anna says, "It's okay. I understand. How about we look at the magazine together? I can read to you and we can learn how to make a cake. Maybe we can even bake one for mom and dad when they come home. What do you say?" + +Lily smiles and says, "Yes, please. That sounds fun. I love you, Anna." Anna says, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and get ready." They take the magazine and go to the kitchen. They have a good time looking at the pictures and reading the words. They make a bright and yummy cake for their family. +Tom loves to drive his toy car. He makes vroom-vroom sounds as he pushes it on the floor. He drives it fast and slow, left and right, up and down. He pretends he is a big driver on the road. + +One day, he sees his dad drive the real car. He wants to try it too. He asks his dad, "Can I drive the car, please?" His dad smiles and says, "OK, but only in the driveway. And you have to sit on my lap and hold the wheel." + +Tom is very happy. He climbs on his dad's lap and grabs the wheel. His dad starts the car and lets Tom steer it a little bit. Tom feels the car move and hears the engine sound. He makes vroom-vroom sounds again. He drives the car with his dad. + +Tom is very proud. He thinks he is a good driver. He says, "Look, mom, I can drive the car!" His mom watches from the window and claps her hands. She says, "Wow, Tom, you are a great driver! I am proud of you!" Tom smiles and hugs his dad. He loves to drive the car. +One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big bottle of oil on the shelf. Tom had an idea. + +"Let's do something fun with the oil," he said to Lily. "We can pour it on the floor and slide on it." + +Lily thought that sounded crazy, but she wanted to have fun too. She nodded and helped Tom get the bottle. They opened it and spilled the oil all over the floor. Then they took off their shoes and socks and started to slide. + +"Whee, this is so fun!" Tom shouted. + +"Yay, we are so fast!" Lily agreed. + +But they did not see their mom coming into the kitchen. She was carrying a tray of cookies for them. When she saw the mess, she was very angry and shocked. She slipped on the oil and dropped the tray. The cookies broke and the tray made a loud noise. + +"Tom! Lily! What did you do?" she yelled. + +Tom and Lily stopped sliding and looked at their mom. They saw the cookies and the tray and the oil. They felt very bad. + +"We are sorry, mom," they said. "We wanted to have fun with the oil, but we did not think of the mess." + +Mom sighed and helped them clean up the floor. She was not happy, but she was not mad anymore. She hugged them and said, + +"Next time, think before you do something crazy. Oil is not for playing, it is for cooking. And cookies are not for breaking, they are for eating. Fun is good, but not when it hurts someone or something. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, + +"Yes, mom, we understand. We will not do it again." + +Mom smiled and gave them each a cookie. They ate it and said, + +"Thank you, mom. We love you." + +They learned their lesson and never played with oil again. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the park. They ran and jumped and laughed. One day, they saw a big bush with red flowers. Sam said, "Let's go and look at the bush. Maybe there are bugs or birds inside." + +Lily nodded and followed Sam. They went behind the bush and peeked inside. They saw a big hole in the ground. Sam said, "Wow, what is this? Maybe it is a secret tunnel. Let's go inside and see." + +Lily felt worried. She said, "No, Sam, I don't want to go inside. It is dark and scary. Maybe there is something bad inside. Let's go back and play on the swings." + +Sam shook his head. He said, "Don't be silly, Lily. It is just a hole. Nothing bad can happen. I will go first and you can come after me. I will whistle so you can hear me." + +Sam crawled into the hole and disappeared. Lily waited and listened. She heard Sam whistle once, twice, three times. Then she heard a loud roar and a thud. She did not hear Sam whistle anymore. + +Lily screamed and ran away from the bush. She looked for a grown-up to help her. She saw a man with a hat and a gun. He said, "What is wrong, little girl? Why are you crying?" + +Lily said, "My friend Sam went into the hole in the bush and a big animal ate him. Please help him. Please save him." + +The man frowned and said, "What hole? What bush? What animal? I don't see anything. You are making things up. Go away and stop bothering me." + +Lily felt sad and scared. She did not know what to do. She wished Sam was with her. She wished they never went to the bush. She wished they played on the swings instead. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the living room. Sometimes they race each other from one end to the other. They run as fast as they can and laugh a lot. + +One day, they are racing again. They hear Mom say, "Be careful, don't break anything!" But they do not listen. They just want to win. Tom is ahead of Lily. He sees the couch near the finish line. He jumps on it and bounces off. He lands on the floor and says, "I win!" + +But he does not see the vase on the table. The vase falls and breaks. It makes a loud noise. Mom comes in and sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Who did this? Who broke the vase?" + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They feel guilty. They know they did something bad. They do not want to get in trouble. They do not say anything. They just point at each other. Mom shakes her head. She says, "You both did this. You both have to say sorry. And you both have to help me clean up. And no more racing in the living room!" + +Tom and Lily nod. They say sorry. They help Mom pick up the pieces. They hug Mom and say they love her. Mom hugs them back and says she loves them too. But she also says, "Next time, listen to me. And play nicely. And be careful. OK?" + +Tom and Lily say, "OK, Mom." They learn their lesson. They do not race in the living room anymore. They find other games to play. They still have fun. And they still laugh a lot. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have many toys to play with. Sara has a big dollhouse. Ben has a fast car. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, Sara and Ben go to the park. They see a girl and a boy playing. The girl and the boy have shiny clothes and fancy toys. They have a big bike and a small pony. They do not share their toys. They look wealthy. + +Sara and Ben want to play with them. They go near them and say hello. The girl and the boy look at them and laugh. They say, "You cannot play with us. You have old clothes and boring toys. You are not wealthy. Go away!" + +Sara and Ben feel sad and angry. They do not like the girl and the boy. They say, "You are not nice. You do not know how to share. You are not happy. We do not want to play with you. We have better friends and toys. We are happy!" + +Sara and Ben go back to their toys. They play with their dollhouse and their car. They smile and laugh. They are not wealthy, but they are happy. They have each other. They are friends. +Lily and Ben like to bake with Mom. They help Mom put flour, eggs, milk and sugar in a big bowl. They mix and mix with a spoon. Mom says they are good helpers. She puts the bowl in the oven and sets a timer. + +Lily and Ben want to play outside. They see a pool in the yard. It is full of water and toys. They ask Mom if they can go in the pool. Mom says yes, but they have to wear hats and sunscreen. She helps them put on their swimsuits and gives them towels. + +Lily and Ben run to the pool. They splash and laugh. They play with the toys. They have fun. They forget about the timer. + +Mom hears the timer beep. She goes to the oven. She opens the door. She sees smoke. She sees the bowl. The bowl is black and hard. The cake is burned. Mom is sad. She says oh no. + +Lily and Ben hear Mom say oh no. They stop playing. They run to the kitchen. They see the smoke. They see the bowl. They see the cake. They are sad too. They say sorry Mom. They hug Mom. Mom hugs them back. She says it is okay. She says they can bake another cake. She says she loves them. They say they love her too. They smile. They are happy. +One day, Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a loud horn. The truck was carrying many boxes of medicine for the hospital. Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to see what was inside the boxes. + +They ran after the truck and climbed on the back. They opened one of the boxes and found many bottles of different colors. They did not know what they were, but they looked fun. They took some bottles and shook them. They heard a funny sound. + +"Look, Tom, this one is blue and this one is red. Let's try them!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, we should not. They are not for us. They are for sick people. They might make us sick too." Tom said. + +But Lily did not listen. She opened a blue bottle and drank some. She made a face. It was bitter. She felt strange. She felt dizzy and sleepy. She fell on the floor. + +Tom was scared. He saw Lily was not moving. He did not know what to do. He looked for help. He saw the truck driver. He was angry. He saw the open box and the bottles. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing here? You are not supposed to touch these. These are medicine. They are dangerous. How did you get on my truck?" The truck driver shouted. + +He saw Lily on the floor. He realized she had drunk some medicine. He was worried. He called the hospital. He told them what happened. He said he needed help. + +He put Lily and Tom in the front seat of the truck. He drove fast to the hospital. He had to reverse many times to avoid the cars and the people. He honked his horn loudly. He hoped Lily would be okay. He hoped Tom would learn his lesson. He hoped he would not lose his job. He hoped the medicine would not be wasted. He hoped he would never see those curious kids again. +Mia and Leo like to play dress up. They have many hats and coats and shoes to try on. Mia likes to spin in front of the mirror and see her style. Leo likes to make funny faces and noises. + +One day, they find a big gray hat in the closet. It is soft and fuzzy and has a long feather. Mia wants to wear it and spin with it. Leo wants to wear it and make bird sounds with it. They both grab the hat and pull. + +"Let go! It is my hat!" Mia says. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Leo says. + +They pull harder and harder. The hat stretches and tears. The feather falls off. Mia and Leo stop and look at the hat. It is ruined. They feel sad and sorry. + +"I am sorry, Mia. I did not mean to break the hat." Leo says. + +"I am sorry, too, Leo. I should have shared the hat." Mia says. + +They hug and say they are still friends. They put the hat and the feather in a box. They find another hat to play with. It is red and shiny and has a bell. They take turns wearing it and spinning and making music. They have fun and laugh. They like their new style. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They see a big oven. The oven is red and shiny. They want to touch it. + +"Look, Ben, a red oven!" Anna says. + +"Let's crawl to it!" Ben says. + +They crawl on the floor. They get closer to the oven. They see a button. The button is round and black. + +"What does this button do?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Let's push it!" Ben says. + +They push the button. The oven makes a noise. It gets hot. Steam comes out. + +"Ouch! Hot!" Anna cries. + +"Ouch! Hot!" Ben cries. + +They crawl away from the oven. They are scared and sad. They have red spots on their hands. + +Mom comes in. She sees the oven and the twins. She is angry and worried. + +"What did you do?" Mom asks. + +"We pushed the button. The oven was hot. It hurt us." Anna says. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to see the red oven." Ben says. + +Mom hugs them. She puts cold water on their hands. She says: + +"Never touch the oven. The oven is not a toy. The oven can burn you. You have to be careful in the kitchen." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say: + +"We are sorry, Mom. We will be careful. We love you." + +Mom smiles. She says: + +"I love you too. Now let's have some cookies. But not from the oven. From the jar." +Sara and Ben were playing with cards on the floor. They liked to make piles and match the colors and shapes. But Sara was restless. She wanted to do something else. + +"Ben, can we play with water?" she asked. + +"No, Sara, we can't. Mom said no water in the house. Only in the bath or the sink," Ben said. + +"But I'm bored of cards. They are not fun anymore," Sara said. + +She looked around and saw a bottle of juice on the table. She had an idea. She got up and grabbed the bottle. + +"Look, Ben, I have juice. We can pour it on the cards and make them wet and sticky. That will be fun," she said. + +She opened the bottle and started to pour the juice on the cards. The cards got soaked and stained. The juice dripped on the floor and made a mess. + +"Stop, Sara, stop! You are ruining the cards. And Mom will be mad. She will see the juice and the cards and the floor. She will be very mad," Ben said. + +He tried to take the bottle from Sara, but she held it tight. They pulled and pushed and fought over the bottle. The juice spilled more and more. + +Then they heard a voice. + +"What are you doing, Sara and Ben? What is this mess?" Mom said. + +She came into the room and saw the juice and the cards and the floor. She was very mad. + +"Sara and Ben, you are in big trouble. You did not listen to me. You wasted the juice and ruined the cards. And you made a huge mess. You have to clean it up. And no more cards or juice for you today. You have to go to your room and think about what you did," Mom said. + +She took the bottle from Sara and Ben and gave them a cloth and a bucket. She made them wipe the juice and the cards and the floor. Then she sent them to their room. + +Sara and Ben were sad and sorry. They wished they had not poured the juice on the cards. They wished they had played nicely with the cards. They wished they had not been restless. +Lily and Tom are two cats who live in a big house with a nice family. They like to play with the toys, sleep on the sofa and eat the food that the family gives them. But sometimes they want to try something different. + +One day, they smell something very good from the kitchen. It is meat! The family is cooking meat for their dinner. Lily and Tom want to taste the meat, but they know they are not allowed to go in the kitchen. They wait until the family is busy in the living room, and then they sneak into the kitchen. + +They see the meat on the counter, and it looks very yummy. Lily jumps on the counter and grabs a piece of meat with her mouth. Tom follows her and does the same. They are very happy and run to the back door with the meat. + +But they are not very quiet. The family hears them and comes to the kitchen. They see the meat is gone and the cats are trying to escape. They are very angry and shout at the cats. + +"Hey, you naughty cats! You stole our meat! Come back here!" the father says. + +Lily and Tom are scared and drop the meat. They run away as fast as they can. They hide under the bed and hope the family will forgive them. They are very sorry and hungry. They learn that stealing is bad and they should not do it again. They decide to wait for their own food and be good cats. They are still alert and listen for the family's footsteps. They hope the family will still love them. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the yard. One day, they see their dad making food on the grill. It smells good. + +"Dad, what are you making?" Tom asks. + +"I'm making burgers and hot dogs for lunch. Do you want some?" Dad says. + +"Yes, please!" Sam says. + +Dad gives them each a plate with a burger and a hot dog. He tells them to be careful, because the grill is hot and the food is hot too. + +Tom and Sam sit on the grass and start to eat. They bite their burgers and hot dogs. They are yummy. + +"Can I have some ketchup?" Sam asks. + +"Sure, here you go," Tom says. He passes the bottle of ketchup to Sam. + +Sam squeezes the bottle, but nothing comes out. He squeezes harder, and harder, and harder. Then, ketchup comes out very fast. It splashes all over Tom's face and shirt. + +"Hey!" Tom says. He is angry and surprised. He wipes his face with his hand. + +"Sorry, sorry!" Sam says. He laughs a little. He thinks it is funny. + +Tom does not think it is funny. He is still angry. He picks up his hot dog and throws it at Sam. It hits Sam on the head. + +"Ow!" Sam says. He is hurt and sad. He drops his plate and starts to cry. + +Dad hears the noise and comes over. He sees the mess and the boys. He is not happy. + +"What happened here?" Dad asks. + +"Sam squirted ketchup on me!" Tom says. + +"Tom threw his hot dog at me!" Sam says. + +Dad shakes his head. He says, "That is not nice. You should not waste food or hurt each other. Food is important. Sharing is important. Being kind is important. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They feel sorry. They say, "Yes, Dad. We understand." + +Dad says, "Good. Now, go wash your faces and hands. Then, come back and finish your lunch. And say sorry to each other." + +Tom and Sam do what Dad says. They wash their faces and hands. They come back and finish their lunch. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. + +They learn their lesson. They do not bite, squirt, or throw food anymore. They share and be kind. They enjoy their food and their dad's grill. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made snowballs and threw them at each other. It was fun. + +But then, a weird dog came out of the woods. It was big and black and had yellow eyes. It barked loudly and ran towards them. Lily and Ben were scared. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted. He picked up a snowball and threw it at the dog. But the dog dodged it and kept running. + +Lily ran as fast as she could, but the dog was faster. It caught up with her and jumped on her. Lily fell down and dropped her snowball. The dog licked her face and wagged its tail. + +"Help, Ben, help!" Lily cried. She tried to push the dog away, but it was too heavy. + +Ben ran to help her. He saw that the dog was not mean, but friendly. He petted the dog and said, "Good dog, good dog. Don't hurt Lily. She is my sister." + +The dog stopped licking Lily and looked at Ben. It wagged its tail again and barked softly. It liked Ben and Lily. + +Lily got up and dusted off the snow. She was not scared anymore. She smiled and said, "Sorry, dog. I thought you were bad. You are nice." + +The dog licked her hand and nuzzled her. It wanted to play with them. + +"Can we keep him, Ben?" Lily asked. "He is so cute." + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily. He is not our dog. He belongs to someone else. Maybe he is lost. We have to find his home." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She hugged the dog and said, "Bye, dog. We will miss you. Thank you for playing with us." + +The dog barked and licked them again. It was happy. It followed them as they walked back to their house. They hoped to find his owner. + +They did not know that the dog was a special dog. He was a spy dog. He had a secret mission. He had to find out what Lily and Ben were doing in the snow. He had to report to his boss. He had to surrender his snowball. He was a weird dog. But he was also a good dog. He liked Lily and Ben. He wanted to see them again. Maybe he would. +Tommy liked to play in the garden with his toy mole. He named it Mimi and pretended it was his friend. He would dig holes with Mimi and imagine they were exploring a secret tunnel. Sometimes he would find worms and give them to Mimi as a snack. + +One day, Tommy saw a real mole in the garden. It was brown and furry and had a long nose. Tommy was curious and wanted to say hello. He ran towards the mole with Mimi in his hand. + +"Hi, mole! I'm Tommy and this is Mimi. She is a toy mole, but she is very nice. Do you want to play with us?" Tommy asked. + +The mole was scared and shy. It did not like the loud noise and the big boy. It wanted to hide in its hole and be alone. It did not know what a toy mole was and thought it was a strange animal. + +"Go away, boy! I don't want to play with you or your toy. This is my home and you are bothering me. Leave me alone!" The mole said. + +Tommy was sad and confused. He did not understand why the mole was so mean. He thought moles were friendly and liked to dig and eat worms. He wanted to be friends with the mole and share his toys. + +"But mole, why are you so angry? I just want to be nice to you. Mimi is not a real mole, but she is very healthy and fun. She can keep you company and make you happy. Please, don't be afraid of us." Tommy said. + +The mole did not listen to Tommy. It snorted and burrowed deeper into the ground. It did not want to see Tommy or Mimi ever again. It was happy in its own world and did not need anyone else. + +Tommy felt hurt and lonely. He hugged Mimi and walked away from the mole's hole. He decided to play somewhere else and imagine a new adventure. He hoped to find a friend who would like him and Mimi and be kind to them. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toy soldiers. He had many soldiers, but his favorite was the guard. The guard had a big hat and a shiny sword. He always put the guard on top of his castle, to watch over the other soldiers. + +One day, Tom's mom said they had to go to the store. She asked Tom to put away his toys and get ready. Tom did not want to go. He wanted to play more. He had an idea. He put all his toys in a box, except the guard. He hid the guard under his pillow. He thought his mom would not see it. + +He was wrong. His mom saw the lump under his pillow. She lifted it and found the guard. She was not happy. She said, "Tom, why did you hide this toy? You know you have to put away all your toys before we go. This is not nice. You have to share your toys with your sister, too. She likes to play with soldiers, too." + +Tom felt bad. He did not want to make his mom angry. He did not want to hurt his sister's feelings. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love the guard. He is my best toy. He is very wise. He tells me stories and helps me win battles. Can I please keep him with me? Please, mom, please?" + +His mom looked at him. She saw his sad eyes and his hopeful smile. She remembered when she was a little girl and had a favorite toy, too. She felt sorry for Tom. She said, "OK, Tom. You can keep the guard with you. But only for today. And you have to promise me two things. First, you have to be good at the store and listen to me. Second, you have to let your sister play with the guard when we get back. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He was very happy. He hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I promise I will be good and share. I love you." He took the guard and put him in his pocket. He felt the guard's sword poke him. He smiled. He thought the guard was happy, too. He did not know that the guard had a secret. A secret that would change everything. +Lily and Max were restless. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play outside. But it was raining hard. The sky was gray and the drops were big. + +"Can we go out, Mom?" Lily asked. "Please, please, please?" + +Mom shook her head. "No, sweetie. It's too wet. You will soak your clothes and catch a cold. Why don't you play with your toys or read a book?" + +Lily and Max pouted. They did not like toys or books. They liked to run and jump and splash. They looked out the window and saw a big puddle. It had a spot of red in it. It was a balloon. + +"Look, Max!" Lily said. "A balloon! Let's get it!" + +Max nodded. He liked balloons. They were round and bright and fun. He followed Lily to the door. They put on their boots and coats. They did not tell Mom. They ran outside. + +The puddle was bigger than they thought. It was deep and muddy. Lily and Max stepped in it. They felt the water soak their feet and legs. They did not care. They reached for the balloon. + +But the balloon was not a balloon. It was a tomato. Someone had thrown it away. It was soft and squishy. It burst in Lily's hand. She screamed. Max laughed. He threw another tomato at her. She threw one back. They had a tomato fight. + +Mom heard the noise. She looked out the window. She saw Lily and Max covered in red. They looked like they had blood on them. She gasped. She ran outside. + +"What are you doing?" Mom yelled. "You are soaking wet and dirty and messy! Come inside right now!" + +Lily and Max stopped. They saw Mom. They saw her face. She was angry. They felt sorry. They dropped the tomatoes. They walked to Mom. They hung their heads. + +"We're sorry, Mom," Lily said. "We just wanted to play." + +Mom sighed. She hugged them. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they were not hurt. She took them inside. She gave them a bath. She dried them. She gave them a snack. She read them a story. They snuggled with her. They were not restless anymore. They were sleepy. They closed their eyes. They dreamed of balloons. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Lily went first and slid down fast. She laughed and said, "That was fun!" + +Ben wanted to go next, but he saw a man with a camera near the slide. The man was taking pictures of the flowers and the birds. Ben liked cameras and wanted to see how they worked. He ran to the man and said, "Can I see your camera?" + +The man looked at Ben and smiled. He said, "Sure, you can see it, but you have to be careful. It is not a toy. It is a tool for making pictures." + +He showed Ben how to hold the camera and how to press the button. Ben was happy and said, "Thank you, mister. Can I make a picture too?" + +The man said, "Maybe later, but now I have to finish my work. You can go back to your mom and play with your sister." + +Ben did not like that. He wanted to make a picture now. He said, "No, I want the camera. Give me the camera!" + +He tried to grab the camera from the man's hand. The man said, "No, no, you can't do that. That is rude and wrong. You have to ask nicely and wait your turn." + +Ben did not listen. He shouted louder and louder. He said, "Give me the camera! Give me the camera! I demand the camera!" + +Lily heard Ben's voice and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben and the man fighting over the camera. She said, "Ben, stop it! You are being bad and mean. You have to say sorry to the man and share the camera." + +Ben did not want to say sorry or share. He said, "No, it is mine! I want it!" + +The man said, "Enough! You are a naughty boy and you don't deserve the camera. Go away and leave me alone." + +He pushed Ben away and took the camera back. He said, "Go on, go on, before I call your mom." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He ran to his mom and cried. He said, "Mom, mom, the man was mean to me. He did not let me have the camera. He was bitter and bad." + +His mom hugged him and said, "Ben, Ben, what did you do? Did you ask nicely or did you demand the camera?" + +Ben said, "I demanded the camera. I wanted it." + +His mom said, "Ben, that was not nice or polite. You have to respect other people and their things. You have to say please and thank you and wait your turn. You have to apologize to the man and say you are sorry." + +Ben said, "But I don't want to. He was bitter and bad." + +His mom said, "No, he was not. He was kind and generous. He let you see his camera and he tried to teach you how to use it. You were bitter and bad. You have to learn to be better and good." + +She took Ben by the hand and walked to the man. She said, "Excuse me, sir. I am sorry for my son's behavior. He was rude and wrong. He is still learning how to behave. Can you please forgive him?" + +The man said, "It's okay, ma'am. I understand. He is young and curious. He just needs some guidance and discipline. I forgive him." + +He looked at Ben and said, "Do you have something to say to me, young man?" + +Ben looked at the man and the camera. He felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I am sorry, mister. I was bad and mean. I should not have demanded the camera. I should have asked nicely and waited my turn. Can you please let me see the camera again?" + +The man said, "That's better. That's a good boy. Yes, you can see the camera again, but only if you promise to be careful and respectful." + +Ben said, "I promise, I promise. Thank you, mister. Thank you for letting me see the camera." + +The man said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Here, let me show you how to make a picture. Maybe you can make a picture of your sister and your mom. They are beautiful and they love you." + +Ben smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Let's make a picture. Lily, mom, come here. Let's make a picture." + +Lily and mom came to the man and Ben. They smiled and posed for the camera. The man said, "Ready, steady, smile!" + +He pressed the button and the camera flashed. He said, "There, you made a picture. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben said +Ben and Mia are in art class. They have paper, crayons, glue and scissors. They can make anything they want. Ben wants to make a dinosaur. Mia wants to make a butterfly. + +Ben draws a big green dinosaur with sharp teeth and a long tail. He cuts it out and glues it on another paper. He is proud of his dinosaur. He shows it to Mia. + +"Look at my dinosaur!" he says. "It can roar and bite!" + +Mia looks at Ben's dinosaur. She thinks it is scary. She does not like it. She draws a pretty butterfly with many colors. She cuts it out and glues it on another paper. She is proud of her butterfly. She shows it to Ben. + +"Look at my butterfly!" she says. "It can fly and sip nectar!" + +Ben looks at Mia's butterfly. He thinks it is boring. He does not like it. He wants to make fun of Mia. He takes his crayon and pokes Mia's butterfly. He makes a hole in its wing. + +"Ha ha!" he says. "Your butterfly is broken! It cannot fly anymore!" + +Mia feels sad and angry. She does not like Ben. She takes her scissors and pokes Ben's dinosaur. She makes a hole in its eye. + +"Ha ha!" she says. "Your dinosaur is blind! It cannot see anymore!" + +Ben feels sad and angry. He does not like Mia. He pokes Mia's butterfly again. Mia pokes Ben's dinosaur again. They poke and poke until their paper is torn and their teacher comes. + +"Stop!" the teacher says. "What are you doing? Why are you poking your art?" + +Ben and Mia look at their teacher. They look at their paper. They look at each other. They feel sorry and ashamed. They have ruined their art. They have hurt each other. + +"We are sorry, teacher," they say. "We were not creative. We were mean." + +The teacher nods. She gives them new paper, crayons, glue and scissors. She tells them to make something new. Something nice. Something they can share. + +Ben and Mia think. They decide to make a flower. A big, colorful flower. They draw, cut and glue together. They make a flower with a dinosaur head and a butterfly wing. They show it to their teacher and to each other. + +"Look at our flower!" they say. "It is creative and fun!" + +The teacher smiles. She likes their flower. She puts it on the wall. Ben and Mia smile. They like their flower. They like each other. They do not poke anymore. They hug. +Jenny was a modest girl who liked to play with her dolls and read books. She did not like to talk much or make a fuss. She was happy at home with her mom and dad and her cat Fluffy. + +But one day, mom and dad told her that she had to go to school. They said it was good for her to learn new things and make new friends. Jenny was scared. She did not want to leave her home and her cat. She did not want to meet new people who might be mean or loud. + +Mom and dad saw that Jenny was sad. They tried to cheer her up. They said that school was fun and that she would like her teacher and her classmates. They said that they would buy her a new backpack and a lunch box with her favorite stickers. They said that they would always pick her up and hug her after school. + +But Jenny was still scared. She did not say anything. She just hugged her cat and cried. + +The next day, mom and dad took Jenny to school. They walked with her to her classroom and introduced her to her teacher, Miss Lee. Miss Lee was a kind lady who smiled a lot. She welcomed Jenny and showed her where to sit and where to put her backpack and lunch box. She said that she was happy to have Jenny in her class. + +Jenny looked around. She saw many other kids who were her age. Some of them were playing with toys or drawing pictures. Some of them were talking or laughing. Some of them looked shy or nervous. Jenny felt shy and nervous too. + +Mom and dad kissed Jenny goodbye and told her to have a good day. They said that they would be back soon. Jenny nodded and tried to smile. She watched them leave and felt a lump in her throat. + +She wished she could go with them. She wished she could be at home with her cat. + +But then, something happened. A boy who was sitting next to Jenny turned to her and said hello. He said his name was Ben and that he liked cats too. He showed her a picture of his cat, Spot, that he had drawn. He asked her what her cat's name was and if she wanted to see his toys. + +Jenny was surprised. She did not expect anyone to talk to her.
