"This is a big mess! You have to clean it up right now!" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They knew they had to obey their mom. But they did not want to destroy their towers. + +"Can we keep them, mom?" Anna asked. "Please? They are incredible!" + +"No, you can't," mom said. "You have to wipe them away and put the blocks back in the box. You can build them again another day. But today, you have to tidy up." + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They liked their towers. They did not want to wipe them away. But they also loved their mom. And they knew she was right. + +"OK, mom," Ben said. "We will wipe them away. But can we take a picture of them first?" + +Mom smiled. She saw that Anna and Ben had worked hard on their towers. And she was proud of them too. + +"Sure, you can," she said. "But hurry up. You have to finish before dinner." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They took a picture of their towers with mom's phone. Then they started to wipe them away and put the blocks back in the box. They did it quickly and neatly. They hoped they could build them again soon. + +Mom hugged them and thanked them for cleaning up. She told them they had done a good job. And she said they could show their picture to dad when he came home. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They were happy. They had made incredible towers. And they had made mom happy too. They wondered what they would build tomorrow. Maybe a bridge. Or a castle. Or something else. They knew they could do anything with their blocks. And with their imagination. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big black bird with shiny feathers. It was a raven. The raven was sitting on a branch and holding a shiny ring in its beak. + +"Wow, look at that ring! It is so pretty!" Lily said. "I want it!" + +"Me too!" Tom said. "Let's try to get it from the raven!" + +They ran towards the raven, but the raven was not slow. It flew away to another tree, still holding the ring. + +"Come back, raven! Give us the ring!" Tom and Lily shouted. + +But the raven did not listen. It kept flying from tree to tree, teasing the twins. + +"Ha ha ha! You can't catch me! This is my ring! I found it first!" the raven said. + +Tom and Lily got tired and angry. They started to cry. + +"Why are you so mean, raven? Why don't you share the ring with us?" Lily asked. + +"Because sharing is for fools! I don't care about you! I only care about myself!" the raven said. + +Then, the raven made a mistake. It flew too close to a big nest, where a hawk lived. The hawk saw the raven and the ring, and wanted them both. It swooped down and attacked the raven. + +"Help! Help!" the raven cried. "The hawk is after me!" + +But Tom and Lily did not help. They watched as the hawk chased the raven away, and dropped the ring on the ground. + +"Look, the ring is ours now!" Tom said. + +"Let's take it and go home!" Lily said. + +But as they reached for the ring, they saw something. The ring was not real. It was made of plastic. It was not shiny. It was dull. + +"What a silly raven! It thought this was a real ring!" Tom said. + +"It was not worth fighting for!" Lily said. + +They left the ring on the ground, and went home. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that being greedy and selfish is not good. They learned that sharing and caring is better. They learned that some things are not what they seem. They learned that a raven is not a good friend. +Tim and Mia like to joke with each other. They are good friends. They play with their toys and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a big vehicle on the road. It is red and shiny. It has a loud horn and a long ladder. It is a fire truck. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tim says. "It is so big and fast!" + +"I want to ride on it!" Mia says. "It looks fun!" + +They run after the fire truck. They try to catch it. But it is too distant. It goes away very soon. + +They stop and feel sad. They wanted to see the fire truck more. + +Then, Tim has an idea. He jokes with Mia. He pretends to be a fire truck. He makes a loud horn sound and a siren sound. He raises his arms like a ladder. He says, "I am a fire truck! I am here to help!" + +Mia laughs. She jokes with Tim. She pretends to be a fire fighter. She puts on a hat and a coat. She says, "I am a fire fighter! I will climb on your ladder!" + +They play and joke together. They have fun. They forget about the distant fire truck. They are happy. +Tim and Sue like to play with dough. They have many colors of dough and they make shapes and animals with it. They think dough is fun and soft. + +One day, they see a big jar of dough in the kitchen. It is not their dough. It is mom's dough. Mom uses it to make bread and pies. Tim and Sue want to play with it. They think it is more dough for them. + +They take the jar and open it. The dough is sticky and smells funny. They try to make a ball with it, but it does not stay. They try to make a snake with it, but it breaks. They think the dough is bad. + +Mom comes into the kitchen and sees them. She is angry and scared. She says, "What are you doing with my dough? That is not for playing. That is for baking. It has yeast in it. Yeast makes the dough grow and bubble. It can be dangerous if you eat it or touch it too much. It can make you sick or hurt your skin. Put it back in the jar right now!" + +Tim and Sue are sorry and scared. They did not know the dough was different. They did not know it was dangerous. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to make trouble. We thought it was more dough for us. We will not touch it again." + +Mom hugs them and says, "It's okay. I know you were curious. But you have to ask me before you take something from the kitchen. Some things are not for playing. Some things are only for grown-ups. You have your own dough to play with. It is safe and fun. Come on, let's go wash your hands and play with your dough in the living room." + +Tim and Sue nod and say, "Okay, mom. We love you. We love our dough." They go with mom and play with their dough. They make shapes and animals and have fun. They think dough is fun and soft, but only their dough. +Anna liked to help her mom at the market. She helped her mom sell fruits and vegetables to the people who came by. She liked to say hello and smile and give them the right change. + +One day, Anna had a great idea. She asked her mom if she could sell some snacks too. She wanted to make some cookies and muffins and lemonade. Her mom said yes, but she had to do it by herself.

She also made a sign that said "Anna's Snacks". She was very proud of her work. + +She took her basket and her sign and went to the market with her mom. She set up a small table next to her mom's stall. She waited for the people to come and buy her snacks. She hoped they would like them. + +Soon, she had many customers.

Her mom hugged her back and said she was very proud of her too. +Lily and Ben were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys in their room. One day, their mom came home with a big box. She said it was a new toy for them to share. Lily and Ben were very happy and curious. + +They opened the box and saw a big train with many cars and tracks. They wanted to play with it right away. Mom said they had to be careful and gentle with the new toy, and they had to take turns. Lily and Ben nodded and said yes. + +Lily went first. She put the train on the tracks and pushed a button. The train started to move and make noises. Lily smiled and clapped. She said, "Look, Ben, it's so fun!" Ben looked and nodded. He waited for his turn. + +But Lily did not want to give Ben a turn. She liked the new toy too much. She said, "No, Ben, it's mine! You can play with something else!" Ben felt sad and angry. He said, "No, Lily, it's ours! Mom said we have to share!" Lily said, "No, no, no!" and pushed Ben away. + +Ben fell down and hit his head on the floor. He cried out loud. Mom heard him and ran to the room. She saw Ben bleeding and Lily holding the train. She was very upset and scared. She said, "Lily, what did you do? How could you hurt your brother?" Lily felt sorry and scared too. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry, Ben. I forgot to share. I forgot to be nice." + +Mom took Ben to the hospital. Lily stayed home with Dad. She cried and cried. She wished she could take back what she did. She wished she could play with Ben again. She wished she could remember to share and be nice. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Be nice to your brother or sister. Remember to follow the rules. +Ben and Lily like to watch films on the big TV. They have many films with animals, cars, and princesses. Sometimes they laugh, sometimes they cry, sometimes they learn new things. + +One day, they want to watch a film with a big blue fish. They put the film in the DVD player and press play.

Can you help me, Ben and Lily?" + +Ben and Lily nod and go to the table. Mom gives them each a wire and shows them where to put it. They are careful and follow her instructions. They connect the wires and parts. Mom closes the DVD player and puts it back to the TV. She puts the film in and presses play. + +The TV shows the film. Ben and Lily see the big blue fish. They are happy. They clap and cheer. Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "You did a great job, Ben and Lily. You helped me repair the DVD player. Now we can watch the film together." + +They sit on the couch and watch the film. They laugh, they cry, they learn new things. They enjoy the film with the big blue fish. They are not sad anymore. They are glad. +Tom and Lily were playing in the bathroom. They saw a shiny thing on the sink. It was a razor. Tom wanted to touch it. + +"Look, Lily, a shiny thing!" Tom said. + +"No, Tom, don't touch it! It is not for us. It is for Daddy. He uses it to make his face smooth," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He reached for the razor. He felt something sharp on his finger. He cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Tom said. + +Lily ran to him. She saw blood on his finger. She was scared. + +"Tom, you are bleeding! You cut your finger with the razor. It is a deep cut. We need to tell Mommy. She will help you," Lily said. + +She took Tom's hand and put a towel on it. She led him out of the bathroom. She called for Mommy. + +"Mommy, Mommy, come quick! Tom hurt himself with the razor. He has a deep cut on his finger. He needs a band-aid and a hug," Lily said. + +Mommy came and saw what happened. She was worried. She took Tom to the kitchen. She washed his finger and put a band-aid on it. She gave him a hug and a kiss. + +"Tom, you are a brave boy. But you should never touch the razor. It is very dangerous. It can hurt you very badly. You are lucky it was only a small cut. Next time, listen to Lily. She knows what is safe and what is not," Mommy said. + +Tom nodded. He was sorry. He said sorry to Mommy and Lily. He learned his lesson. He never touched the razor again. He played with his toys instead. +Lila and Tom are brother and sister. They like to play in the park. One day, they go to the park with their mom. Mom says, "Stay close to me and be nice to each other." + +But Lila and Tom do not listen. They run away from mom and fight over the swings. Lila says, "I want the swing. You are ugly and you smell bad." Tom says, "No, I want the swing. You are ugly and you have no friends." They push and pull and yell. + +Mom hears them and comes to stop them. She is angry and sad. She says, "Lila and Tom, you are very naughty. You hurt each other and you hurt my feelings. We are going home right now and you will have no dessert." + +Lila and Tom cry and say, "We are sorry, mom. We love you and we love each other." But mom does not believe them. She takes them by the hand and walks to the car. She does not smile or talk to them. + +Lila and Tom are quiet and sad. They wish they had been nice to each other and to mom. They miss the park and the swing. They have a bad day. +Sara and Ben love to ride their bikes in the park. They like to go fast and feel the wind on their faces. One day, they see a man with an enormous kite. The kite is red and blue and has a long tail. It flies high in the sky. + +"Wow, look at that kite!" Sara says. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Can we ride our bikes closer to it?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, let's go!" Sara says. + +They ride their bikes towards the man with the kite. They see that he has a string in his hand. He pulls and lets go of the string to make the kite move. + +"Hello, kids!" the man says. "Do you like my kite?" + +"Yes, we do!" Sara and Ben say. + +"Would you like to try flying it?" the man asks. + +"Really? Can we?" Sara and Ben say. + +"Of course, why not?" the man says. "Here, you can hold the string. But be careful, the kite is very strong. It can pull you up!" + +Sara and Ben take turns holding the string. They feel the kite tug and lift them. They laugh and shout with joy. They feel like they are flying too. + +They thank the man for letting them fly his kite. They ride their bikes back to their mom and dad.

"We love kites!" +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small bike. They take turns to kick the ball and ride the bike. + +One day, they see a new girl in the park. She has long hair and a white dress. She is holding a book. Anna and Ben want to be her friend. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Anna asks. + +"I am Lily. I like to read. This is my book. It is about angels. Do you know what angels are?" Lily says. + +Anna and Ben shake their heads. They do not know what angels are. + +"Angels are very nice. They have wings and they can fly. They help people and animals. They are smart and kind. Do you want to see a picture of an angel?" Lily says. + +She opens her book and shows them a picture of a girl with wings and a halo. + +"Wow, she is pretty. Can we be angels too?" Ben says. + +Lily laughs. "No, you cannot be angels. You are just kids. You do not have wings or halos. You cannot fly. You are not smart or kind. You are silly and mean." + +Anna and Ben feel sad and angry. They do not like what Lily says. They think she is rude and mean. + +"That is not nice. You do not know us. We are smart and kind. We can do many things. We can jump high and run fast. We can share and help. We are not silly and mean. You are the silly and mean one." Anna says. + +She grabs the ball and throws it at Lily. Ben takes the bike and rides towards Lily. They want to make her go away. + +Lily is scared and mad. She drops her book and runs away. She cries and shouts. + +"Stop it! Stop it! You are bad kids.

He thinks it is fun to make the yarn roll and twist. He does not see that the yarn is attached to a sweater that Mom is knitting. + +Mom is in the kitchen making a cake. She hears a noise and goes to the living room. She sees Tom and the yarn and the sweater. She is angry and says, "Tom, what have you done? You have ruined my sweater!

I did not know. I will not play with yarn again." Mom hugs him and says, "It is okay, Tom. I forgive you. I love you. Do you want some cake?" Tom nods and says, "Yes, please. I love you too, Mom." They go to the kitchen and share some cake. Tom is happy and ashamed no more. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big truck with many ice creams on it. The truck stopped near their park and a man came out. He said, "Hello, kids! Do you want some ice cream? I have many flavors and toppings. You can choose what you like." + +Ben and Lily were very excited. They ran to the truck and looked at all the ice creams. They saw chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and more. They also saw nuts, sprinkles, whipped cream, and more. They wanted to try everything. + +"Can we have one ice cream each, please?" Ben asked the man. + +"Sure, you can. What flavor do you want?" the man asked. + +"I want chocolate with nuts and whipped cream," Ben said. + +"I want strawberry with sprinkles and whipped cream," Lily said. + +The man smiled and made their ice creams.

They shared some of their toppings and talked about their favorite things. They had a lot of fun and felt very full. They decided to play some more after they finished their ice creams. They were very good friends. +Anna and Ben are playing with their cars on the floor. They make noises like vroom and beep as they move their cars around. Anna has a red car that is very fast. Ben has a blue car that is very slow. + +"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Anna says. She pushes her car hard and it zooms past Ben's car. + +"No, my car is better than yours!" Ben says. He pushes his car harder and it tries to catch up with Anna's car. + +They play like this for a long time, until they start to feel tired. Their eyes are heavy and their mouths are wide. They yawn and stretch their arms. + +"I'm sleepy," Anna says. "Are you sleepy too?" + +"Yes, I'm sleepy too," Ben says. "Let's go to bed." + +They put their cars away and walk to their bedroom. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They climb into their beds and hug their teddy bears. + +"Good night, Anna," Ben says. + +"Good night, Ben," Anna says. + +They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of cars and speed and fun. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big box under a tree. It had a picture of a laser on it. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's look," Ben said. + +They walked to the box and opened it. Inside, there was a shiny toy laser. It had a button and a light. + +"Wow! A laser!" Ben said. "Can I try it?" + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. + +Ben took the laser and pointed it at a flower. He pressed the button. The laser made a zapping sound and the flower turned smelly. + +"Yuck! What did you do?" Lily said. + +"I don't know. It's a magic laser," Ben said. + +He pointed it at a bird. He pressed the button. The laser made a zapping sound and the bird turned smelly. + +"Stop it! You're making everything smelly!" Lily said. + +She grabbed the laser from Ben. She pointed it at him. She pressed the button. The laser made a zapping sound and Ben turned smelly. + +"Ha ha! Now you're smelly!" Lily said. + +She ran away with the laser. Ben chased her. + +"Give it back! Give it back!" Ben said. + +They ran and ran until they saw their mom. + +"Mom! Mom! Look what we found!" Lily said. + +She showed her the laser. + +"Where did you get that?" Mom asked. + +"We found it in the park. It's a magic laser. It makes things smelly," Lily said. + +She pointed it at Mom. She pressed the button. The laser made a zapping sound and Mom turned smelly. + +"Oh no! You made me smelly!" Mom said. + +She took the laser from Lily. She looked at the box. It had a label that said: "Warning: Do not use. This is a prank laser. It makes things smelly." + +"Uh oh. This is not a toy. This is a bad joke. We have to return it," Mom said. + +She put the laser and the box in the car. She drove them back to the park. She left them under the tree. + +"Sorry, whoever left this here. We didn't mean to take it. We didn't know it was a prank," Mom said. + +She drove them home. She gave them a bath. She washed away the smell. + +"Next time, don't play with things you don't know. They might be dangerous or mean," Mom said. + +"OK, Mom. We're sorry," Ben and Lily said. + +They hugged Mom. They learned their lesson. They never played with lasers again. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. They have cars, trains, dolls, blocks and books. They make a lot of noise and mess. + +Mom comes in and says, "Lily and Tom, it is time to organize your toys. You have to put them in the right boxes. If you don't, you will lose them or break them." + +Lily and Tom do not want to organize their toys. They want to keep playing. They say, "No, Mom, we are having fun. We don't want to stop." + +Mom says, "You have to listen to me. Organizing your toys is serious. It is not a game. It is a good habit. It helps you find your toys easily and keep them safe. Look, this is how you do it. You put the cars and trains in the box with the motor. You put the dolls and clothes in the box with the dress. You put the blocks and shapes in the box with the puzzle. You put the books and papers in the box with the letter. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nod their heads. They see that Mom is serious. They do not want to make her angry or sad. They start to organize their toys. They follow Mom's instructions. They put the toys in the right boxes. They say, "Sorry, Mom, we will organize our toys from now on." + +Mom smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are very good children. I am proud of you. Now you can play with your toys again. But remember to organize them when you are done." +Sara and Tom were going on a safari with their dad. They were very happy to see lions, elephants and zebras. But first, they had to polish their shoes and make their beds. Dad said they had to be tidy and ready before they left. + +Sara took her pink shoes and rubbed them with a cloth. She made them shiny and clean. Tom took his blue shoes and did the same. He wanted to look nice for the animals. They both put their shoes on and ran to their beds. They pulled the covers and smoothed them. They fluffed their pillows and put their toys away. + +"Good job, Sara and Tom!" Dad said, coming into their room. "You are very tidy and polite. Are you ready for the safari?" + +"Yes, Dad!" Sara and Tom said, jumping up and down. "We are ready! We want to see the lions!" + +"Okay, then. Let's go!" Dad said, taking their hands. "But remember, we have to be quiet and respectful when we see the animals. They are not toys, they are living beings." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They followed Dad to the car. They buckled their seat belts and looked out the window. They were very excited to go on the safari. They hoped the animals would like their polished shoes. +Bee and Ant were friends. They liked to play and talk in the garden. One day, they saw a big hive on a tree. It was unusual. It was not round and brown like Bee's hive. It was long and green like a snake. + +"Who lives there?" Ant asked. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Bee said. + +They flew and crawled to the hive. They heard a loud buzz inside. They were curious. They tried to peek through a hole. But the hole was too small. They could not see anything. + +"Hello, is anyone there?" Bee called. + +"Go away, this is our home!" a voice answered. It was angry and scary. + +Bee and Ant were frightened. They wanted to run away. But they were stuck. The hole was sticky. It was honey. They could not move. + +"Help, help, we are trapped!" they shouted. + +They struggled to get free. They pulled and pushed. But they could not escape. + +Then they heard another voice. It was kind and gentle. + +"Don't worry, I'm here to help you," the voice said. + +They saw a face. It was a hummingbird. It had a long and thin beak. It used its beak to cut the honey. It freed Bee and Ant. + +"Thank you, thank you, you are very nice," Bee and Ant said. + +"You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm glad you're okay," the hummingbird said. + +"Who are those angry bees?" Bee asked. + +"They are not bees, they are wasps. They are mean and stingy. They took over this hive. It used to be mine. I made it with leaves and grass. But they chased me away. Now I have no home," the hummingbird said. + +"That's not fair, that's not right," Ant said. + +"Can we help you?" Bee asked. + +The hummingbird smiled. It had an idea. + +"Maybe you can. Follow me," the hummingbird said. + +It led Bee and Ant to another tree. There was a big and round hive. It was brown and sweet. It was Bee's hive. + +"Can we borrow some honey?" the hummingbird asked. + +"Of course, of course, we have plenty," Bee said. + +They took some honey. They flew and crawled back to the wasp hive. They poured the honey on the hole. They made it bigger and stickier. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" the wasp voice shouted. + +"Come and see," the hummingbird said. + +The wasps came out. They saw the honey. They were greedy. They wanted to eat it. They flew to the hole. But they got stuck. They could not move. + +"Help, help, we are trapped!" they shouted. + +They struggled to get free. But they could not escape. + +"Now, this is your home again," Bee said to the hummingbird. + +"Thank you, thank you, you are very smart," the hummingbird said. + +"You're welcome, you're welcome, you are very brave," Bee said. + +Bee and Ant and Hummingbird were happy. They became friends. They played and talked in the garden. They shared the honey and the hive. They were not afraid of the wasps. They were unusual. They were kind and friendly. +Anna and Ben are young friends. They like to play with their scooters in the park. They zoom and spin and laugh. They are happy. + +One day, a big dog runs after them. It barks and growls. It wants to bite their scooters. Anna and Ben are scared. They try to get away, but the dog is fast. + +"Help, help!" Anna cries. "The dog is bad!" + +Ben sees a big rock. He has an idea. He stops his scooter and picks up the rock. He throws it at the dog. The rock hits the dog's nose. The dog yelps and runs away. + +"Ben, you are brave!" Anna says. "You saved us!" + +She hugs Ben. Ben hugs her back. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. + +They get on their scooters and go to find their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms are proud of them. They hug them and give them cookies. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They see a big dog with a man. The dog is brown and furry. The man is old and kind. + +"Can we pet your dog?" Sara asks the man. + +"Yes, you can. His name is Rex. He is very friendly." The man answers. + +Sara and Ben go near the dog. They touch his ears, his nose and his tail. Rex wags his tail and licks their faces. He likes Sara and Ben. + +"Can we hug your dog?" Ben asks the man. + +"Yes, you can. He likes hugs. He is very peaceful." The man answers. + +Sara and Ben hug the dog. They feel his warm and soft fur. Rex snuggles with them. He is happy. + +"Can we ride your dog?" Sara asks the man. + +"No, you can't. He is too small for that. You might hurt his leg." The man answers. + +Sara and Ben understand. They do not want to hurt Rex. They say thank you to the man and the dog. They wave goodbye and go back to play. They have a new friend. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big box. They want to know what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Lily says. + +"Wait, maybe it is a surprise for us," Ben says. + +They hear Mom call them for lunch. They run to the house. + +"Can we open the box after lunch, Mom?" Lily asks. + +Mom smiles. "That is a good question, Lily. But you have to wait until tomorrow. It is a special gift for your birthday." + +Lily and Ben are sad. They want to open the box now. + +They finish their lunch. Mom gives them a sweet cookie. They say thank you. + +They go back to the garden. They look at the box. + +"I have an idea," Ben says. "Let's cover the box with a blanket. Then we can pretend it is something else." + +"OK, what can we pretend?" Lily says. + +They cover the box with a blanket. They make up stories. + +"Maybe it is a spaceship," Ben says. "We can fly to the moon." + +"Maybe it is a castle," Lily says. "We can be a princess and a prince." + +They have fun with the box. They forget about the gift. + +Mom watches them from the window. She is happy. She knows they will love the gift tomorrow. It is a big teddy bear. +Sam liked to sail his toy boat in the pond. He made it from a pipe and a cloth. He tied the cloth to the pipe with a string. He was proud of his boat. + +One day, he went to the pond with his mom. He put his boat in the water and blew on the cloth. The boat moved a little bit. Sam smiled. He wanted his boat to go faster. + +He saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the pond. He thought he could push his boat with the stick. He reached for his boat with the stick. But he missed. He hit the pipe instead. The pipe broke. The boat sank. + +Sam was frustrated. He cried. He threw the stick away. He looked at his mom. She hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Sam. We can make another boat. Maybe we can find a stronger pipe. Or we can use something else. Do you have any ideas?" + +Sam sniffed. He thought for a moment. He said, "Maybe we can use a can. Or a box. Or a shoe. Or a hat. Or a..." He smiled. He felt better. He and his mom went home to make a new boat. +Sam and Ben are brothers who like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to race them on the floor and make loud noises. One day, they find a big red car in the garage. It looks shiny and fast. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Sam says. "It is so big and red. I want to play with it." + +"No, I want to play with it!" Ben says. "It is mine. You have enough cars." + +They start to fight over the car. They pull and push and shout. They do not share or take turns. They do not listen to each other. + +Dad hears the noise and comes to the garage. He sees the boys fighting over the car. He is not happy. He says, "Stop, boys. This is not a toy car. This is a real car. It has fuel inside. Fuel is what makes the car go. But fuel can also be dangerous. If you play with the car, you can break it or hurt yourself. You have to be careful and respectful." + +He opens the car door and reveals the fuel tank. He shows the boys the fuel cap and the fuel gauge. He says, "See, this is where the fuel goes. And this is how much fuel the car has. The car needs fuel to run, but not too much or too little. If the fuel is too low, the car will stop. If the fuel is too high, the car will spill. You have to fill the car with the right amount of fuel." + +He points to the fuel gauge and says, "See, this is how you know how much fuel the car has. The needle moves from left to right. When the needle is on the left, it means the car has little fuel. When the needle is on the right, it means the car has a lot of fuel. When the needle is in the middle, it means the car has enough fuel. The car likes to have enough fuel. It makes the car happy and healthy." + +He closes the car door and says, "Now, do you understand why you cannot play with the car? The car is not a toy. It is a tool. It helps us go places and do things. We have to take care of the car and use it wisely. We have to respect the car and the fuel. We have to be grateful for the car and the fuel. We have to share the car and the fuel with others who need it." + +Sam and Ben look at the car and the fuel. They feel sorry for fighting over the car. They say, "We are sorry, Dad. We did not know the car was real. We did not know the car had fuel. We did not know the fuel was important. We will not play with the car anymore. We will be careful and respectful. We will be grateful and share." + +Dad smiles and hugs the boys. He says, "That's good, boys. I am proud of you. You have learned a valuable lesson today. You have learned that some things are not toys, but tools. You have learned that some things are not simple, but complex. You have learned that some things are not abundant, but scarce. You have learned that some things are not for fun, but for function. You have learned to appreciate and conserve the car and the fuel. You have learned to reveal and understand the car and the fuel. You have learned to be thin and wise with the car and the fuel. You have learned to be good and kind with the car and the fuel. You have learned to be good and kind with each other." + +The end. +Tommy was playing with his toy cars in his room. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He did not like to share his toys with anyone. He was very bossy. + +One day, he heard a squeak under his bed. He looked and saw a small mouse. The mouse had brown fur and a long tail. Tommy was not scared of the mouse. He wanted to play with it. + +"Hello, mouse," Tommy said. "Do you want to play with me? You can be my pet. But you have to do what I say. I am the boss." + +The mouse did not recognize Tommy's voice. It did not want to be his pet. It wanted to find some cheese. It tried to run away, but Tommy grabbed it by the tail. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" the mouse cried. "Let me go! You are hurting me!" + +"No, you are mine!" Tommy said. "You have to stay with me and play with my cars. They are fun. You will like them." + +The mouse did not like the cars. It did not like Tommy. It bit his finger hard. + +"Ouch!" Tommy screamed. "You are a bad mouse! You are mean! Go away!" + +He threw the mouse on the floor and ran to his mom. He showed her his finger and cried. + +"Mommy, mommy, a mouse bit me! It was under my bed. It was not nice. It did not want to play with me." + +Mommy looked at his finger and gave him a hug. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay, Tommy," she said. "The mouse was scared of you. It did not know you. It was not your pet. It was a wild animal. You should not touch wild animals. They can hurt you." + +Tommy sniffed and nodded. He learned his lesson. He did not want to play with the mouse anymore. He decided to play with his cars by himself. He was still bossy, but he was more careful. +Tom likes to write. He has a big book and a blue pen. He writes his name and some letters. He writes about his toys and his dog. He likes to write every day. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big tree. It has green needles and brown cones. Mom says it is a pine tree. Tom wants to write about it. He asks mom for his book and pen. + +Mom gives him his book and pen. Tom sits under the pine tree. He writes "pine" and draws the tree. He writes "green" and "brown" and "big". He is happy. + +But then, a strong wind blows. It shakes the pine tree. Some needles and cones fall down. One cone hits Tom's book. It makes a hole in the page. Tom is sad. + +"Mom, look!" Tom says. "The wind broke my book!" + +Mom hugs Tom. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. The wind was too strong. Your book was too weak. But don't worry. We can fix it. We can tape the hole. We can write on another page. Your book is still good." + +Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you, mom. You are right. My book is still good. I still like to write. And I still like the pine tree. It is beautiful." +Tom was a little boy who did not like to take medicine. He thought medicine was yucky and bitter and made him feel sick. He always hid under his bed or ran away when his mom tried to give him medicine. + +One day, Tom had a bad cough and a fever. His mom said he had to take medicine to get better. She showed him a bottle of medicine that was red and sweet. She said it was interesting medicine that would make him feel good and strong. + +Tom was curious about the interesting medicine. He asked his mom, "Can I try it?" His mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to take it every day until your cough and fever are gone." + +Tom opened his mouth and his mom gave him a spoonful of the interesting medicine. It tasted like candy and made him feel warm and happy. He said, "Mmm, this is good medicine. Can I have more?" His mom said, "No, you can only have one spoonful at a time. But you can have more tomorrow." + +Tom learned that medicine was not always yucky and bitter. He learned that some medicine was interesting and sweet. He learned that medicine could help him get better and feel good. He decided to take his medicine every day and listen to his mom. He was a good boy who liked to learn new things. +Lily was sick. She had a bad cough and a hot head. She did not want to play or eat. Mommy said they had to go to the doctor. + +Lily was scared of the doctor. She did not like the white coat and the big tools. She hid behind Mommy when they went inside the room. + +"Hello, Lily," the doctor said with a smile. "I'm here to help you feel better. Can I touch your head and listen to your chest?" + +Lily shook her head and clung to Mommy. She did not want the doctor to touch her. + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. The doctor is very nice and gentle. He won't hurt you. He just wants to check if you have a fever or a cold. Can you be brave and let him touch you?" + +Lily looked at Mommy and then at the doctor. She saw that he had a friendly face and a shiny badge. She nodded slowly and let go of Mommy. + +The doctor touched Lily's head with a small stick that beeped. He said, "Good girl, Lily. You have a little fever, but nothing to worry about. Now, can I listen to your chest with this amazing tool? It can hear your heart and your lungs." + +He showed Lily a round thing with a tube. He put it on his ears and then on Lily's chest. He asked Lily to breathe in and out. He said, "Wow, Lily, you have an amazing heart. It beats very fast and strong. And your lungs are very good too. They make a nice sound when you breathe. You just have a little cough, but I have some medicine for that." + +He gave Lily a spoon with some sweet syrup. He said, "This will help you stop coughing and feel better. You have to take it twice a day until you are well. Can you do that for me, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, doctor. You are very nice and amazing. You make me feel better." + +The doctor smiled and said, "You're very welcome, Lily. You are a very brave and amazing girl. I hope you get well soon and have fun again." + +Lily smiled and hugged Mommy. She said, "I like the doctor, Mommy. He is not scary. He is amazing." + +Mommy smiled and said, "I'm glad you like the doctor, Lily. He is amazing. And so are you." +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small shovel each. They wanted to make a sand castle with a moat and a bridge. But they could not agree on how to do it. + +"I want to make the bridge like this," Ben said, holding his shovel. "It will be strong and wide." + +"No, I want to make the bridge like this," Lily said, holding her shovel. "It will be pretty and curved." + +They began to quarrel. They shouted and pushed each other. They did not listen to each other. They were very stubborn. + +Nearby, there was a rock pool. It was full of water and seaweed and shells. And in the water, there was an octopus. It was hiding under a rock. It saw Ben and Lily quarreling. It did not like the noise. It was curious and angry. + +It decided to teach them a lesson. It crept out of the water and crawled towards them. It was very fast and quiet. Ben and Lily did not see it. They were too busy quarreling. + +The octopus reached them and grabbed their shovels with its tentacles. It pulled them away from them. Ben and Lily were surprised and scared. They tried to get their shovels back. But the octopus was stronger and smarter. It wrapped its tentacles around them and dragged them into the water. + +Ben and Lily screamed and struggled. They wished they had not quarreled. They wished they had worked together. But it was too late. The octopus took them to its home under the rock. And it ate them for lunch. +Anna loves books. She has many books in her bookcase. She likes to look at the pictures and listen to the stories. Sometimes she makes up her own stories with the books. + +One day, Anna sees a bright book on the top shelf of her bookcase. She has never seen it before. She wonders what it is about. She wants to read it. But she is too small to reach it. She tries to climb on a chair, but it is too wobbly. She tries to use a stool, but it is too short. She tries to ask her mom, but she is busy in the kitchen. + +Anna feels sad. She hopes she can read the bright book someday. She sits on the floor and looks at her other books. They are nice, but they are not new. She wishes she could have the bright book. + +Then she hears a knock on the door. She runs to see who it is. It is her grandma. She has a big smile and a big bag. She hugs Anna and says, "I have a surprise for you, my dear." + +She opens the bag and takes out the bright book. She says, "I found this book at the library. It is a special book. It is about a girl who loves books, just like you. Do you want to read it with me?" + +Anna is so happy. She can't believe it. She says, "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, grandma! You are the best!" + +She takes the bright book and runs to her bookcase. She puts it on the top shelf, where it belongs. She says, "Now I have the bright book. It is my favorite book. I hope I can read it every day." + +She and her grandma sit on the couch and read the bright book together. They laugh and learn and have fun. Anna feels very lucky. She loves her grandma and she loves books. She hopes they can read more books together soon. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toy kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make different dishes. Ben wanted to fix shrimp for Mia, because he knew she liked it. He took some plastic shrimp from the toy basket and put them in a toy pot. + +"Shrimp is ready!" he said, and brought the pot to the table. He poured some shrimp on Mia's plate and some on his own. He smiled and said, "Bon appetit!" + +Mia looked at her plate and frowned. She saw something that was not shrimp. It was a toy car. Ben had mixed up the shrimp and the car in the basket. Mia did not like cars. She liked shrimp. + +"Ben, this is not shrimp. This is car. I don't want car. I want shrimp." she said, and pushed her plate away. + +Ben looked at his plate and saw the car too. He felt embarrassed. He had made a mistake. He wanted to make Mia happy, not sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't see the car. I thought it was shrimp. I'll fix it. I'll get you more shrimp." + +He took the car from his plate and the car from Mia's plate and put them back in the basket. He took more shrimp from the basket and put them in the pot. He heated them up and brought them back to the table. He gave Mia more shrimp and said, "Here you go, Mia. More shrimp. No car. I hope you like it." + +Mia looked at her plate and saw the shrimp. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You fixed it. You are a good chef. I like shrimp. Shrimp is yummy." + +Ben smiled too and said, "You're welcome, Mia. You are a good friend. I like shrimp too. Shrimp is yummy." + +They ate their shrimp and enjoyed their pretend meal. They were happy. They liked to play with their toy kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs. They liked to fix shrimp. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big desk with many drawers and a lamp. They pretended the desk was a spaceship, a castle, a school, or anything they wanted. + +One day, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big fire truck with red lights and a siren. The fire truck stopped at their neighbor's house, where smoke was coming out of the roof. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "The fire truck is here to save the house!" + +"Maybe they need our help," Mia said. "We can use our desk as a fire truck too!" + +They put on their helmets and jackets and climbed on the desk. They turned on the lamp and made siren noises. They pretended to drive the desk to the neighbor's house and spray water with a hose. + +"Good job, team!" Ben said. "We are saving the house!" + +Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom, who had a big smile on her face. + +"Guess who's here to see you?" she said. "The fire chief and some firefighters! They saw you playing with your desk and they wanted to say hello. They think you are very brave and smart!" + +Ben and Mia jumped off the desk and ran to the door. They were so happy and excited. They met the fire chief and the firefighters, who gave them stickers and badges. They told them how they used their desk as a fire truck and how they saved the house. + +"You are amazing!" the fire chief said. "You have a lot of imagination and creativity. Maybe one day you will be famous firefighters too!" + +Ben and Mia hugged their mom and thanked the fire chief and the firefighters. They felt very proud and happy. They went back to their room and looked at their desk. It was not just a desk. It was a magic desk that could be anything they wanted. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Anna has a new glass. It is pink and shiny. She shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben! I have a new glass. It is very pretty. Do you want to see?" Anna says. + +"Yes, please. Can I hold it?" Ben says. + +Anna nods. She gives the glass to Ben. He holds it carefully. He likes the glass too. + +"Wow, Anna. Your new glass is very nice. Can I drink from it?" Ben says. + +Anna thinks. She likes to share, but she also likes her new glass. She does not want Ben to break it or spill it. + +"OK, Ben. You can drink from it. But you have to be very careful. And you have to seat on the floor. No running or jumping with the glass," Anna says. + +Ben agrees. He seats on the floor with Anna. He drinks some water from the glass. He says thank you to Anna. He gives the glass back to her. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They play with the glass and other toys. They are good friends. They share and care. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They saw a big oak tree with many branches and leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +"Can we climb the tree, please?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. The tree is very high and we might fall," Tom said. + +They held hands and walked to the tree. They found a low branch and pulled themselves up. They climbed higher and higher, until they reached a big hole in the trunk. They looked inside and saw a nest with three baby birds. + +"Wow, look at the birds! They are so cute and fluffy!" Lily said. + +"Shh, don't scare them. They are sleeping," Tom said. + +They watched the birds for a while, then they heard a loud noise. It was the mother bird, coming back with some worms for her babies. She saw Lily and Tom and was angry. She flapped her wings and squawked at them. + +"Uh-oh, we have to go. The bird is mad at us," Tom said. + +They quickly climbed down the tree and ran away. They felt sorry for disturbing the bird and her babies. + +"Maybe we should not climb the tree again. It is the bird's home, not ours," Lily said. + +"You are right. We should find another place to play. The bird is good. She takes care of her babies," Tom said. + +They hugged and said sorry to the bird. Then they went to the park and played on the swings. They had fun and were happy. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to explore. One day, they went to the beach with their mom and dad. They saw the big blue ocean and wanted to play in it. + +"Let's build a sand castle!" Lily said. She took a bucket and a shovel and started to dig. + +"No, let's find shells!" Max said. He ran along the shore and looked for shiny things. + +They disagreed. They did not want to do the same thing. + +"Come on, Lily, shells are fun!" Max said. + +"Come on, Max, castles are fun!" Lily said. + +They argued. They did not listen to each other. + +Their mom and dad saw them and smiled. They had an idea. + +"Why don't you both do something new?" their mom said. "Look, there is a boat over there. Maybe you can go on a ride and see the ocean up close." + +Lily and Max were curious. They had never been on a boat before. They agreed. They wanted to try something new. + +They followed their mom and dad to the boat. They put on life jackets and climbed on board. The boat started to move and they felt the wind and the waves. + +They saw fish and birds and dolphins. They saw the sun and the clouds and the sky. They saw the ocean from a different view. + +They were happy. They learned something new. + +They hugged their mom and dad and thanked them for the ride. + +They did not disagree anymore. They wanted to share their fun. +Tim and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to make up their own games. Tim had a big box that he pretended was a spaceship. Lily had a blanket that she wrapped around herself like a cape. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go to the moon!" Tim urged. He climbed into the box and made zooming noises. + +"No, Tim, I want to be a princess!" Lily said. She ran to the fireplace and sat on the rug. She pretended the fireplace was her castle. + +"But the moon is more fun!" Tim said. He got out of the box and tried to pull Lily's blanket. "You can be a moon princess!" + +"Stop it, Tim, you're ruining my cape!" Lily said. She held on to the blanket and frowned. + +They both pulled and tugged, but the blanket did not fit them both. It ripped in the middle, and they fell on the floor. + +"Uh-oh," Tim said. He looked at the torn blanket and felt sorry. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. She looked at the torn blanket and felt sad. + +They both looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to share the blanket and the box. They put the blanket over the box and made a cozy tent. + +"Let's pretend we're on the moon and in a castle!" Tim said. + +"OK, Tim, that sounds fun!" Lily said. + +They crawled into the tent and played happily. They forgot about the fireplace and the spaceship. They only needed each other. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But they also liked to eat steak. Steak was their favorite food. It was meat that was brown and juicy and yummy. Mom and Dad sometimes cooked steak for dinner, but not often. Steak was expensive. That meant it cost a lot of money. + +One day, Mom and Dad went to the store. They told Tom and Sam to stay at home and be good. They said they would be back soon. Tom and Sam nodded and said okay. They played with their toys and watched cartoons. But they also looked at the clock. They were hungry. They wanted steak. + +They went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. They saw a big steak wrapped in paper. It was for dinner. Mom and Dad had bought it as a treat. Tom and Sam smiled. They wanted to eat it now. They took the steak out of the fridge and unwrapped it. It smelled good. They found a knife and a fork. They cut a piece of steak and put it in their mouths. It was cold and raw and icky. They spat it out and made faces. + +"Yuck! This steak is bad!" Tom said. + +"No, it's not. It just needs to be cooked," Sam said. + +"How do we cook it?" Tom asked. + +Sam looked around and saw the stove. It was a big metal thing with knobs and burners. Mom and Dad used it to cook food. Sam had an idea. + +"Let's use the stove. It makes things hot," Sam said. + +"Okay. How do we use it?" Tom asked. + +Sam grabbed the steak and the knife and the fork. He went to the stove and turned a knob. He heard a click and saw a flame. He was scared. He dropped the steak on the burner. It sizzled and smoked. Sam screamed. + +"Help! Help! The steak is on fire!" Sam shouted. + +Tom ran to the stove and saw the steak burning. He was scared too. He grabbed a towel and tried to put out the fire. He threw the towel on the steak. But the towel caught fire too. Tom screamed. + +"Help! Help! The towel is on fire!" Tom shouted. + +They heard a siren and saw a red truck outside. It was a fire truck. It had a hose and a ladder and firefighters. The firefighters came into the house and saw the fire. They sprayed water on the stove and put out the fire. They were angry. + +"What were you doing? You could have burned down the house!" one firefighter said. + +Tom and Sam started to cry. They were sorry. They told the firefighter what they did. They said they were hungry and wanted steak. They said they tried to cook it. They said they didn't know it would catch fire. + +The firefighter shook his head. He said they were very naughty and very lucky. He said they should never play with the stove or the knife or the fork. He said they should always listen to Mom and Dad. He said they should wait for dinner. He said steak was expensive and not a toy. + +Tom and Sam nodded and said sorry. They said they would never do it again. They said they didn't like steak anymore. They said they wanted pizza. + +The firefighter smiled and said pizza was good. He said he would order some for them. He said he would stay with them until Mom and Dad came back. He said he would tell them what happened. He said he hoped they would not be too mad. + +Tom and Sam hugged the firefighter and said thank you. They said he was nice and brave. They said they wanted to be firefighters when they grew up. + +The firefighter laughed and said maybe they could. He said they just had to be good and smart and careful. He said they had to hold on to their dreams. He said he would help them. He said he was their friend. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the woods. They have a big tent and a small camera. They want to record the animals and the trees. + +One day, they see a big bear. The bear is hungry and angry. He growls and runs at them. Tom and Sam are scared. They run to their tent. They close the zipper. + +"Sam, what do we do?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe we can call for help," Sam says. + +They have a phone in their backpack. They try to call their mom and dad. But there is no signal. The bear is still outside. He scratches the tent. + +Tom and Sam remember they have an axe. Their dad gave it to them. He said it was for cutting wood. But maybe they can use it to scare the bear. + +"Sam, give me the axe. I will try to make the bear go away," Tom says. + +He takes the axe and opens the zipper. He sees the bear. He swings the axe and shouts. + +"Go away, bear! Go away!" + +The bear is surprised. He sees the axe and hears the shout. He thinks Tom is brave and strong. He decides to leave. He runs to the other side of the woods. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They hug each other. They are safe. + +They hear a car. It is their mom and dad. They came to pick them up. They see the tent and the axe. They see the camera. + +"Tom, Sam, what happened?" their mom asks. + +"We saw a bear, mom. He was hungry and angry. He wanted to eat us. But we had an axe. We scared him away. We recorded everything," Tom says. + +He shows them the camera. They watch the video. They see the bear and the axe. They are amazed. + +"Wow, Tom, you are very brave. And Sam, you are very smart. You are both very wise," their dad says. + +He hugs them and kisses them. He is proud of them. + +They pack their things and go to the car. They leave the woods. They are happy. They have a great story to tell. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They found a big box and some old clothes. They decided to act like a king and a queen. + +"I am the king and you are the queen," Tom said. He put a hat on his head and called it a crown. He also took a stick and pretended it was a scepter. + +"And I am the queen and you are my husband," Lily said. She put a scarf on her head and called it a veil. She also took a necklace and pretended it was a jewel. + +They walked around the garden and waved to the flowers and the birds. They acted very important and happy. + +But then they saw a pond. It was deep and shiny. They wanted to see what was in it. + +"Let's go and look at the pond," Tom said. He held Lily's hand and they walked to the edge. + +"Be careful, it is deep," Lily said. She leaned over and saw some fish and frogs. + +"Wow, look at them," Tom said. He leaned over too and tried to touch them. + +But he leaned too much and fell into the pond. He splashed and cried. + +"Help, help, I can't swim," he shouted. + +Lily was scared. She dropped her necklace and ran to get help. + +She saw their mom and dad and told them what happened. + +"Tom fell into the pond, he can't swim, he needs help," she said. + +Mom and dad ran to the pond and saw Tom. He was wet and cold and scared. + +They pulled him out and hugged him. They checked if he was okay. + +"Tom, you are silly, you should not go near the pond, it is deep and dangerous," mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom, I wanted to see the fish and frogs, I didn't mean to fall," Tom said. + +"It's okay, Tom, we are glad you are safe, but you have to be more careful next time," dad said. + +They took Tom and Lily inside and gave them some warm clothes and some juice. + +They also gave them a hug and a kiss. + +They told them they loved them and they were proud of them. + +They said they liked their act of being a king and a queen. + +But they said they should not act near the pond again. +Lily and Tom were playing with bricks in the garden. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the bricks. They had many bricks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look at my tower!" Lily said. "It is very tall and strong. I used all the red bricks." + +Tom looked at Lily's tower and felt angry. He wanted some red bricks too, but Lily had taken them all. He had only blue and yellow bricks left. He thought Lily was not fair. + +"I want some red bricks too!" Tom said. "Give me some of your bricks, Lily!" + +"No!" Lily said. "They are mine! I found them first. Go away, Tom!" + +Tom did not go away. He stepped closer to Lily's tower and pushed it with his hand. The tower fell down and the bricks made a noisy sound. Lily screamed and cried. + +"Tom, you are mean!" Lily said. "You broke my tower! I hate you!" + +Lily ran to her mom and told her what Tom had done. Tom felt sorry and sad. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He wanted to say sorry, but he did not know how. He picked up some of the red bricks and tried to fix Lily's tower. He hoped Lily would forgive him. +Tom and Mia are brother and sister. They like to play outside in the dirt. They make mud pies and castles. They get very dirty and messy. + +"Tom, Mia, time to bathe!" Mom calls from the house. "You are too dirty to go to the store with me." + +Tom and Mia groan. They do not like to bathe. They like to stay dirty. They run to the house and hide under the bed. + +"Come on, kids, don't be silly. You need to wash up and get ready. We are going to the store to buy a new toy for you. A powerful toy that can fly and make noises." Mom says. + +"A powerful toy?" Tom and Mia ask. They peek out from under the bed. They like powerful toys. They want to see the toy. + +"Yes, a powerful toy. But you have to bathe first. Come on, I have warm water and bubbles for you." Mom says. + +Tom and Mia get out from under the bed. They follow Mom to the bathroom. They bathe in the tub with bubbles and toys. They wash their hair and body. They rinse and dry. + +"Good job, kids. You are clean and shiny. Now let's go to the store and find your powerful toy." Mom says. + +Tom and Mia smile. They put on their clothes and shoes. They hold Mom's hand and go to the car. They are excited to go to the store and see the powerful toy. They hope it is a powerful toy that can fly and make noises. +Lily and Tom were playing with their crayons. They liked to draw pictures of their family, their pets and their toys. They had many colors to choose from. + +"Look, I made a mark of our dog, Spot," Lily said, showing Tom her paper. "He has a brown head and a black spot on his back." + +"That's very good, Lily," Tom said. "I made a mark of our cat, Fluffy. She has a white head and a pink nose." + +They smiled at each other and continued to draw. They were having fun. + +But then, Sam came along. Sam was older and bigger than Lily and Tom. He was not very nice. He liked to take things from other kids and make them cry. + +He saw Lily and Tom's crayons and wanted them. He grabbed them from their hands and ran away. + +"Hey, give them back!" Lily shouted. + +"Those are ours!" Tom cried. + +But Sam did not listen. He laughed and ran to the other side of the room. He started to mark on the wall with the crayons. He made ugly marks that looked like nothing. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They wanted their crayons back. They wanted to finish their pictures. They did not like Sam. + +They went to the teacher and told her what Sam did. The teacher was not happy. She went to Sam and scolded him. + +"Sam, that is not nice. You should not take things from others. You should not mark on the wall. You should say sorry to Lily and Tom and give them their crayons back." + +Sam felt ashamed. He knew he was wrong. He did not want to get in more trouble. He said sorry to Lily and Tom and gave them their crayons back. + +Lily and Tom forgave him. They were kind. They asked him if he wanted to join them and draw together. + +Sam nodded. He felt sorry for what he did. He wanted to be friends with Lily and Tom. He wanted to learn how to draw nice pictures. + +They went back to their table and shared their crayons. They drew marks of their family, their pets and their toys. They had many colors to choose from. + +They smiled at each other and talked. They were having fun. + +They felt peaceful. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play near the lake. One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It was white and shiny. It had a flag and a horn. + +"Wow, look at that boat!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. I wish we could go on it." + +"Me too," Tom said. "Maybe we can ask the people on the boat if they can take us for a ride." + +They ran to the shore and waved at the boat. They shouted, "Hello, hello, can we come on your boat?" + +But the people on the boat did not hear them. They were too far away. The boat moved faster and faster. It made a loud noise with its horn. Then it disappeared behind a hill. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to see the boat up close. They wanted to feel the wind and the waves. They sat on the grass and sighed. + +"Maybe we can make our own boat," Lily said. "We can use some sticks and leaves and string. We can pretend we are on the lake." + +"That sounds fun," Tom said. "Let's do it. Maybe we can surprise the people on the boat when they come back." + +They smiled and got up. They looked for things to make their boat. They worked hard and had fun. They made a small boat that looked like the big boat. They put it on the water and watched it float. + +They were happy. They had their own boat. They hoped the people on the boat would see it and be surprised. They hoped they would be friends. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with hats. She had many hats of different colors and shapes. She liked to try them on and look at herself in the mirror. She thought she looked very pretty and smart in her hats. + +One day, she found a big hat in her mom's closet. It was a black hat with a wide brim and a feather. Lily thought it was the most beautiful hat she had ever seen. She wanted to wear it and show it to her friends. She put it on her head and ran outside. + +But the hat was too big for Lily. It covered her eyes and ears. She could not see or hear anything. She bumped into a tree and fell down. She cried out, but no one heard her. She felt scared and alone. + +Then she heard a voice. It was her mom. She had followed Lily and saw what happened. She lifted the hat from Lily's head and hugged her. She said, "Lily, are you okay? Why did you take my hat? It does not fit you. It is too big and heavy for your little head. You could have hurt yourself or lost your way." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to wear your hat because it was so pretty and I thought it would make me look wise. But I was wrong. It only made me look silly and foolish. I should have asked you first." + +Mom smiled and kissed Lily. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you are safe. You don't need a big hat to look wise. You only need to use your head and listen to your mom. That is the best way to be wise and happy." + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can I try on your other hats later?" + +Mom laughed and said, "Sure, Lily. But only the ones that fit you." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a high fence. They want to look inside. + +"Let's climb the fence and see what is there," Tom says. + +"No, we should not do that," Lily says. "My mom warned me not to go near that house. She says it belongs to a rich man who is mean and does not like children." + +Tom does not listen to Lily. He thinks she is scared. He climbs the fence and jumps to the other side. Lily stays behind and watches. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He sees a big garden with many flowers and trees. He also sees a pond with fish and a fountain. He runs to the pond and tries to catch a fish. + +Suddenly, he hears a loud bark. He turns around and sees a big dog running towards him. The dog has sharp teeth and angry eyes. Tom is afraid. He screams and runs back to the fence. + +"Help me, Lily!" he cries. + +Lily hears Tom and tries to help him. She grabs his hand and pulls him up the fence. The dog jumps and bites Tom's ear. Tom feels pain and blood. He cries louder. + +Lily and Tom run away from the house. They go to Lily's mom and show her Tom's ear. Lily's mom is worried. She takes them to the doctor. The doctor cleans Tom's ear and puts a bandage on it. He says Tom will be okay, but he has to be careful. + +"Next time, listen to your friend and do not go to places where you are not welcome," the doctor says. + +Tom nods and says sorry to Lily. He learned his lesson. He says he will never climb the fence again. Lily hugs him and says she is glad he is okay. They are still friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big box with a lock on it. They wanted to know what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Ben said. He took a stick and tried to hit the lock. But the lock was too hard. + +"Maybe we can find a key," Lily said. She looked around and saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a spark from the fire that Dad made last night. She picked it up and ran to the box. + +"Look, I have a spark!" she said. She put the spark in the lock and turned it. The lock made a click sound and opened. + +"Wow, you did it!" Ben said. He lifted the lid and saw a lot of old clothes and toys. He grabbed a hat and a sword and put them on. "I'm a pirate!" he said. + +Lily smiled and took a dress and a necklace. "I'm a princess!" she said. They started to play with the things in the box. + +But they did not hear Mom calling them for lunch. They did not see Dad coming to the yard. They did not notice the smoke coming from the box. + +Dad saw the smoke and ran to the box. He saw the spark that Lily left in the lock. He saw the fire that started in the box. He saw Lily and Ben playing with the things in the box. + +He shouted, "Lily! Ben! Get away from the box! It's on fire!" + +Lily and Ben heard Dad and looked at the box. They saw the fire and the smoke. They dropped the things and ran to Dad. They were scared and sorry. + +Dad took a bucket of water and poured it on the box. He put out the fire. He looked at Lily and Ben. They were ashamed. + +"I'm sorry, Dad," Lily said. + +"Me too, Dad," Ben said. + +Dad hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're safe. But you should never play with fire or sparks. They are dangerous. And you should never open a box with a lock. It's not yours. It belongs to Grandma. She gave it to me before she went to heaven. It has her memories in it." + +Lily and Ben felt more ashamed. They did not know that the box was Grandma's. They loved Grandma. They missed her. + +"We're sorry, Dad," they said again. + +Dad smiled and said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to be more careful and respectful. Come on, let's go inside and have lunch. And then we can talk about Grandma and look at some pictures of her. She would want you to remember her and be happy." +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were the animals. They had a lion, a tiger, a bear, a zebra, and a leopard. The leopard was white with black spots, and it was very soft and cuddly. + +One day, Tim and Kim decided to organize their toys. They wanted to make them look nice and neat. They put the lion, the tiger, and the bear in one corner, and the zebra and the leopard in another corner. They said, "Now our toys are organized. They are happy and we are happy." + +But the leopard was not happy. It did not like to be in the same corner as the zebra. It wanted to be with the other big cats, like the lion and the tiger. It thought, "I am a big cat too. I can roar and run and hunt. I don't belong with the zebra. The zebra is boring and slow and eats grass. I want to be with my friends." + +So, when Tim and Kim were not looking, the leopard sneaked out of its corner and crawled to the other corner. It tried to squeeze in between the lion and the tiger, but there was not enough space. The lion and the tiger did not like the leopard. They said, "Go away, leopard. You are not one of us. You are white and spotty and weird. You don't fit in here. Go back to your corner." + +The leopard felt sad and angry. It said, "I am one of you. I am a big cat too. I am not white and spotty and weird. I am beautiful and strong and brave. You are mean and rude and wrong. I will show you." + +The leopard roared and jumped on the lion and the tiger. It scratched and bit and fought. The lion and the tiger roared and jumped on the leopard. They scratched and bit and fought. The bear joined the fight too. It growled and clawed and bit. The toys were not organized anymore. They were messy and noisy and hurt. + +Tim and Kim heard the noise and ran to their toys. They saw the fight and were shocked and scared. They said, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You are our toys. You are supposed to be nice and friendly and fun. You are making us sad and angry and scared." + +The leopard, the lion, the tiger, and the bear stopped fighting. They looked at Tim and Kim and felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, Tim and Kim. We are your toys. We are supposed to be nice and friendly and fun. We are not making you sad and angry and scared. We are making you happy and calm and safe." + +Tim and Kim hugged their toys and said, "We forgive you, leopard, lion, tiger, and bear. We love you, no matter what color or shape or size you are. You are our toys. You are our friends. You are our family." + +The leopard, the lion, the tiger, and the bear hugged Tim and Kim and said, "We love you too, Tim and Kim. You are our owners. You are our friends. You are our family." + +Then, Tim and Kim decided to organize their toys again. But this time, they did not put them in separate corners. They put them all together in one big pile. They said, "Now our toys are organized. They are happy and we are happy." + +And they were. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with sand. They have a big bucket and many cups. They fill the cups with sand and make a castle. + +"Look at our castle!" Lily says. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says. "But it needs a flag. I have a stick and a paper. I can make a flag." + +Tom runs to get the stick and the paper. Lily waits for him. She looks at the castle. She is happy. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is open. He sees the castle. He thinks it is fun. He runs to the castle. He jumps on it. He breaks it. + +Lily is sad. She cries. "No, no, no! Go away, dog! You are bad! You ruined our castle!" + +Tom comes back. He sees the dog and the castle. He is angry. He shouts. "Hey, dog! Stop that! Leave our castle alone!" + +The dog hears Tom. He is scared. He runs away. He barks. + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They hug. They are sad. But they are also brave. + +"It's okay, Lily," Tom says. "We can make another castle. We still have sand and cups and a bucket. And a flag." + +"Yes, Tom," Lily says. "We can make another castle. And we can find a better place. A place where no dogs can come." + +They smile. They take their things. They look for a new place. They are friends. They like to play with sand. +Anna liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She also had a belt that she used to tie her blanket around her like a cape. She felt like a superhero when she wore her belt. + +One day, Anna's friend Ben came to play with her. Ben saw Anna's belt and wanted to try it. He asked Anna, "Can I wear your belt, please?" + +Anna was polite and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful with it. It is my special belt." + +Ben thanked Anna and put on the belt. He ran around the room, pretending to fly. He had fun, but he did not notice that he knocked over Anna's boxes and books. He made a big mess. + +Anna was sad and angry. She said, "Ben, you are not being nice. You messed up my toys. You have to help me organize them again." + +Ben felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I did not mean to. I will help you organize them. Can we still be friends?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, we can. But next time, you have to be more careful with my things. And you have to ask me before you take them." + +Ben agreed and said, "OK, Anna. I will. Thank you for letting me wear your belt. It is very cool." + +Anna smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. It is cool, but it is also mine. Here, you can have this car instead. It is also cool." + +Ben was happy and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. I like your car. Can we play with it together?" + +Anna said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's organize my toys. Then we can play with the car." + +Ben and Anna worked together to organize Anna's toys. They put them back in their boxes and on their shelf. They made the room neat and tidy. Then they played with the car and had fun. They were good friends. +Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a rabbit in the grass. It was white and fluffy. Ben and Lily wanted to pet the rabbit. + +"Can we touch the rabbit?" Ben asked. + +"Let's ask mom first," Lily said. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. "Mom, can we pet the rabbit?" they said. + +"Sure, but be gentle and mind the rabbit. Don't scare it or hurt it," mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and went back to the rabbit. They reached out their hands slowly and softly. The rabbit sniffed their fingers and let them stroke its fur. It was very soft and warm. + +"Hello, rabbit. You are very nice," Ben said. + +"Yes, you are. Do you have a name?" Lily said. + +The rabbit twitched its nose and ears. It seemed to like Ben and Lily. They smiled and cuddled the rabbit. + +But then, a big dog came running. It barked loudly and chased the rabbit. The rabbit was scared and ran away. Ben and Lily were sad and angry. + +"Go away, dog! Leave the rabbit alone!" Ben shouted. + +"Bad dog! You are not nice!" Lily cried. + +The dog stopped and looked at them. It wagged its tail and licked their faces. It wanted to play with them. Ben and Lily were confused. + +"Maybe the dog didn't mean to scare the rabbit. Maybe it just wanted to say hello," Ben said. + +"Maybe, but the rabbit didn't like it. The rabbit was afraid," Lily said. + +They looked around and saw the rabbit hiding behind a tree. It was shaking and panting. Ben and Lily felt sorry for the rabbit. + +"Come on, let's go to the rabbit and say sorry. Maybe we can be friends again," Ben said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful and mind the rabbit. And the dog, too," Lily said. + +They walked slowly and quietly to the rabbit. They spoke softly and gently. The rabbit peeked out and saw them. It saw that they were nice and not scary. It came out and let them pet it again. The dog followed them and sat down. It looked at the rabbit and wagged its tail. It didn't bark or chase it. It wanted to be nice, too. + +"Hello, rabbit. We are sorry for the dog. He didn't know you were scared. He is nice, too," Ben said. + +"Yes, we are sorry. Can we be friends again?" Lily said. + +The rabbit nodded and snuggled with them. It forgave them and the dog. It was happy and not scared anymore. + +Ben, Lily, the rabbit, and the dog became friends. They played in the park and had fun. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. + +The moral of the story is: mind the feelings of others and be nice to them. You can make friends with different animals if you are gentle and respectful. +Sara and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket of strawberries on a bench. The strawberries were red and juicy. Sara and Ben wanted to eat them. + +"Can we have some strawberries?" Sara asked the lady who was sitting on the bench. + +"No, you can't. These are mine. Go away!" the lady said. She was mean and rude. She frowned at Sara and Ben. + +Sara and Ben felt sad and angry. They decided to take some strawberries when the lady was not looking. They waited for the lady to look at her phone. Then they ran to the basket and grabbed some strawberries. + +"Hey, stop! You little thieves!" the lady shouted. She saw Sara and Ben running away with her strawberries. She got up and chased them. + +Sara and Ben ran as fast as they could. They wanted to eat the strawberries. But they did not see the big hole in the ground. They fell into the hole and hurt themselves. The strawberries flew out of their hands and landed on the grass. + +The lady caught up with them. She was very angry. She took back her strawberries and scolded Sara and Ben. She said they were bad and naughty. She said they had to go home and tell their parents what they did. + +Sara and Ben cried. They were sorry and scared. They wished they had not taken the strawberries. They wished they had been nice and polite. They had a bad day. +Lily liked to read books with her mom. She liked books with pictures and words. She liked books with soft pages and hard pages. She liked books with different textures. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the library. They saw many books on the shelves. Lily wanted to read them all. She ran to a book with a big bear on the cover. She touched the bear. It was harsh. It hurt her hand. She did not like it. + +She ran to another book with a big flower on the cover. She touched the flower. It was smooth. It felt nice. She liked it. She opened the book. It had more flowers and words. She asked her mom to read it to her. + +Her mom smiled and sat down with her. She read the book to Lily. Lily listened and looked at the pictures. She learned the names of the flowers and their colors. She liked the book. She said thank you to her mom and the library. She wanted to read more books with different textures. +Lily and Max were sad. They had no home. They lived on the street with their dog, Spot. Sometimes they were cold and hungry. Sometimes people were mean to them. They wished they had a shelter, a place where they could be safe and warm. + +One day, they saw a big sign. It said: "Animal Shelter. We help dogs and cats find new families." Lily and Max loved animals. They wanted to see the dogs and cats. Maybe they could find a friend. They walked to the shelter with Spot. + +The lady at the shelter was kind. She smiled at them and said: "Hello, do you want to see the animals?" Lily and Max nodded. They followed her to a room with many cages. There were dogs and cats of different colors and sizes. Some were barking and meowing. Some were quiet and scared. + +Lily and Max looked at the animals. They felt sorry for them. They wanted to hug them and make them happy. They saw a small, black cat in a corner. She had a bandage on her leg. She looked sad and lonely. Lily and Max went to her cage. They opened the door and gently picked her up. They hugged her and stroked her fur. The cat purred and licked their faces. Spot wagged his tail and sniffed her. + +The lady saw them and smiled. She said: "You are very sweet. Do you like this cat? She was hurt by a car. She needs a lot of love and care. Do you want to adopt her?" Lily and Max looked at each other. They nodded. They wanted to adopt the cat. They wanted to give her a home. They wanted to be a family. + +The lady helped them fill out some papers. She gave them some food and toys for the cat. She said: "Thank you for giving this cat a chance. She is lucky to have you. What will you name her?" Lily and Max thought for a moment. They said: "We will name her Lucky. Because she is lucky to have us, and we are lucky to have her." The lady hugged them and said: "That is a perfect name. I hope you will be very happy together." Lily and Max hugged her back. They thanked her and said goodbye. They left the shelter with Spot and Lucky. They were not sad anymore. They had a home. They had a family. They had love. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dog, Spot. Spot was a big dog with black and white fur and a long tail. Lily and Spot liked to run and jump and fetch sticks in the park. + +One day, Lily and Spot met a new friend in the park. He was a boy named Ben, and he had a small dog with brown fur and a short tail. His dog was called Heel, because he always followed Ben everywhere. Ben said hello to Lily and Spot, and asked if they wanted to play. + +Lily and Spot said yes, and they all played together. They ran and jumped and fetched sticks, and had a lot of fun. Heel was very fast and smart, and Spot was very strong and friendly. Lily and Ben liked each other, and shared their snacks and toys. + +But then, Lily gave Heel a piece of her sandwich, and Heel made a funny face. He spat out the sandwich and started to cough. Lily asked him what was wrong, and Ben said that the sandwich was spicy. He said that Heel did not like spicy food, and that it made him feel bad. + +Lily felt sorry for Heel, and said she was sorry. She did not know that Heel did not like spicy food. She said that she liked spicy food, and that it made her feel good. Ben said that he did not like spicy food, and that it made him feel bad. He said that everyone was different, and that it was okay to like different things. + +Lily and Ben learned a lesson that day. They learned that they could be friends, even if they liked different things. They learned that they should ask before they share their food, and that they should respect each other's choices. They learned that being different was not bad, but good. And they learned that playing with new friends was fun. +Sam liked to play with his toy truck. He had a big truck that could load many things. He had a small club that he used to hit the things and make them fit in the truck. He liked to load rocks, sticks, leaves and balls. + +One day, he saw a big dog in the park. The dog was brown and furry. It had a long tail and big ears. Sam wanted to play with the dog. He ran to the dog and said, "Hi, dog! Do you want to play with me?" + +The dog wagged its tail and licked Sam's face. It was a friendly dog. It followed Sam to his truck. Sam said, "Dog, you can help me load my truck. You can use your mouth to pick up the things and put them in the truck. You are a good and obedient dog." + +The dog barked and nodded. It liked to help Sam.

One day, Lily found a shiny bracelet in her mom's drawer. It had many clear stones that sparkled in the light. Lily wanted to show it to Anna. + +"Look what I found!" Lily said, as she ran to Anna's house. She carried the bracelet in her hand. "It's so pretty!" + +Anna gasped when she saw the bracelet. She wanted to try it on. "Can I wear it?" she asked. + +"Okay, but only for a little while," Lily said. She put the bracelet on Anna's wrist. "Be careful, don't lose it. It's my mom's." + +Anna nodded. She felt very happy with the bracelet. She and Lily played with their dolls and pretended they were princesses. They forgot about the time. + +But then, Lily's mom called her. "Lily, it's time to go home!" she shouted. + +Lily remembered the bracelet. She looked at Anna. "Give it back, please," she said. + +Anna took off the bracelet and handed it to Lily. But as she did, the bracelet slipped from her fingers and fell on the ground. It broke into many pieces. The clear stones scattered everywhere. + +Lily and Anna stared at the broken bracelet. They felt very sad and scared. They didn't know what to do. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Anna said. "It was an accident." + +Lily started to cry. She picked up the pieces and tried to put them back together. But it was no use. The bracelet was ruined. + +"Lily, what's wrong?" Lily's mom asked, as she came to see what happened. + +Lily showed her mom the bracelet. She told her the truth. She was afraid her mom would be angry. + +But Lily's mom hugged her.

She always told her parent about her dreams in the morning. + +One day, Lily went to school and met a new friend, Max. Max also liked to dream, but he dreamed of different things. He dreamed of being a superhero, a pirate, and a king. He always told Lily about his dreams at recess. + +Lily and Max started to have a game. They would try to guess what the other dreamed of the night before. They would give each other clues and hints. It was fun at first, but soon it became competitive. Lily and Max wanted to be the best at guessing. They started to make up harder and harder clues. They started to argue and tease each other. They stopped being friends. + +One night, Lily had a sad dream. She dreamed that she was alone and had no one to talk to. She missed Max and his dreams. She wished they could be friends again. She woke up and felt sorry. + +The next day, Lily went to school and looked for Max. She found him sitting by himself. He looked sad too. Lily walked up to him and said, "I'm sorry, Max. I don't want to fight with you. I want to be your friend. Can we share our dreams again?" + +Max smiled and said, "I'm sorry too, Lily. I don't want to compete with you. I want to be your friend. Can we listen to our dreams again?" + +Lily and Max hugged and made up. They realized that their dreams were not better or worse than each other's. They were just different and interesting. They learned to respect and appreciate each other's dreams. They became the best of friends. +Anna and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys and clothes. Anna likes to dress up and Ben likes to joke. He sees a hanger on the floor. He has an idea. + +"Anna, look at me!" he says. He puts the hanger on his head like a hat. He makes a funny face. "I am a hanger-man!" + +Anna looks at him and laughs. She thinks he is silly. She picks up a bright scarf. She wraps it around her neck. She pretends to be a princess. + +"I am a princess!" she says. "You are my hanger-man. You have to do what I say." + +Ben nods. He likes to play with Anna. He follows her around the room. He says "yes, princess" and "no, princess". He does what she says.

"You have to clean up your room. And why are you wearing a hanger and a scarf? Those are not toys. They are for clothes." + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They did not mean to make mom angry. They take off the hanger and the scarf. They say "sorry, mom". They start to pick up their toys and clothes. They promise to be good. They hope mom will joke with them later. +Sara was a curious girl who liked to explore. She saw a big, wide door in the hall that was always closed. She wondered what was behind it. She decided to open it and peek inside. + +She turned the knob and pushed the door. It made a loud noise. She saw a dark room with many things. There were books, toys, clothes, and boxes. She wanted to touch them and see what they were. + +But then she heard a voice. It was her brother, Tom. He was angry. He said, "Sara, what are you doing? You disturb me! This is my room! Go away!" + +Sara was scared. She did not know Tom had a room here. She said, "Sorry, Tom. I did not know. I was curious. I wanted to see." + +Tom said, "Well, you should not be curious. You should not open doors that are not yours. You should not disturb me. I am busy. I am studying. Now leave me alone!" + +Sara felt sad. She closed the door and ran away. She did not want to disturb Tom. She did not want to make him mad. She wished he would play with her. She wondered why he was so busy. She wondered what he was studying. She was still curious. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big brown dog with a ball. They wanted to pet the dog and play with the ball. + +"Hello, doggy! Can we be your friends?" Ben asked. + +The dog wagged his tail and licked Ben's face. He dropped the ball and let Lily take it. They threw the ball and the dog ran to catch it. They had fun. + +Then a man came and called the dog. "Rex, come here! It's time to go home!" + +The dog barked and ran to the man. He looked at Ben and Lily and gave them a smile. + +"Bye, doggy! Thank you for playing with us!" Lily said. + +The man smiled too. "You're welcome. Rex likes to make new friends. He is a good dog. He is my angel." + +Ben and Lily waved goodbye. They were happy. They had made a new friend. They went back to their slide and swing. They played until the sun went down. Then they went home with their mom and dad. The end. +Anna and Ben were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They had to run after it and bring it back. + +One day, they saw something very pretty in the sky. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It looked like a big smile in the sky. They stopped playing and looked at it. + +"What is that?" Anna asked. + +"It is a rainbow," Ben said. He had learned about rainbows at school. "Rainbows happen when the sun and the rain make friends. The sun shines on the rain and makes the colors." + +"Wow, that is cool," Anna said. "Can we touch the rainbow?" + +"No, we can't," Ben said. "The rainbow is very far away. It is not a thing we can hold. It is like a picture in the sky." + +"Oh, I see," Anna said. She was a little sad. She wanted to touch the rainbow. She thought it would feel soft and warm. + +They went back to playing with their ball. They had fun, but they also looked at the rainbow. They hoped it would stay for a long time. + +After a while, their mom called them for lunch. They ran inside and washed their hands. Mom had made them sandwiches and soup. They sat at the table and ate. + +"Did you see the rainbow outside?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we did," Anna and Ben said. "It was very pretty." + +"Ben explained to me how rainbows happen," Anna said. "He is very smart." + +Mom smiled. She was proud of Ben. She was also proud of Anna for listening and learning. + +"That's great," Mom said. "Do you want to learn more about rainbows?" + +"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. + +Mom got a book from the shelf. It had pictures and words about rainbows. She read to them and showed them the pictures. They learned that rainbows have seven colors and that each color has a name. They also learned that rainbows are part of nature and that they can see them when it rains and the sun comes out. + +They liked the book. They asked Mom many questions. Mom answered them as best as she could. She explained to them that rainbows are a sign of hope and beauty. + +They finished their lunch and thanked Mom. They asked if they could go outside again and see the rainbow. + +"Sure, you can," Mom said. "But first, do you want some dessert?" + +"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. + +Mom gave them each a slice of cake. It had chocolate and nuts and frosting. It looked yummy. + +They took a bite and made a funny face. The cake was very spicy. It burned their tongue and made them cough. + +"Mom, what is this?" Anna asked. + +"It is a spicy cake," Mom said. "I made it for Dad. He likes spicy food. I forgot to tell you. I'm sorry." + +Anna and Ben did not like the spicy cake. They drank some water and ate some bread. They felt better. + +"Can we have some ice cream instead?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, you can," Mom said. "I have some vanilla ice cream in the freezer. It is not spicy. It is sweet and cold." + +She got the ice cream and gave them each a scoop. They liked the ice cream. It made their mouth happy. + +They ate the ice cream and thanked Mom. They asked if they could go outside again and see the rainbow. + +"Sure, you can," Mom said. "But remember to wear your jackets. It might get cold." + +They put on their jackets and ran outside. They looked for the rainbow in the sky. They saw it. It was still there. It was still very pretty. + +They smiled and waved at the rainbow. They hoped the rainbow would wave back. They played with their ball and enjoyed the day. They were happy. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a red car, a blue ball, a yellow duck and a green frog. He liked to make them talk and have fun. But yesterday, he was troubled. He could not find his green frog anywhere. He looked under his bed, in his closet, in his toy box, but he could not see it. He felt sad and angry. He asked his mom and dad if they knew where his frog was, but they did not know either. + +He thought maybe someone took his frog. He remembered that he played with his friend Lily at the park yesterday. He shared his toys with her, and she liked his frog a lot. He wondered if she took it home with her. He decided to call her and ask. He picked up the phone and dialed her number. He heard her voice and said, "Hi, Lily. It's Tom. Do you have my frog?" + +Lily sounded surprised. She said, "No, Tom. I don't have your frog. Why do you think I have it?" Tom said, "Because you liked it a lot. And I can't find it anywhere. I looked everywhere. I'm very sad." Lily said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I liked your frog, but I did not take it. I have my own frog. It's pink and purple. Do you want to see it?" Tom said, "No, thank you. I want my green frog. It's my favorite toy. Please give it back to me." + +Lily said, "Tom, I'm telling you the truth. I don't have your frog. Maybe you left it at the park. Did you check there?" Tom said, "No, I did not. Maybe you're right. Maybe it's still there. Can you come with me and help me look?" Lily said, "Sure, Tom. I'll come with you. Maybe we'll find your frog. And maybe we'll find some other fun things to play with. Don't be sad, Tom. Let's go to the park and have some fun." + +Tom said, "Okay, Lily. Thank you for being my friend. Maybe you're not the one who took my frog. Maybe it's just lost. Let's go and find it." He hung up the phone and put on his shoes and coat. He grabbed his red car and his blue ball. He said goodbye to his mom and dad and went outside. He met Lily at the corner and they walked to the park together. They hoped to find his green frog and have a happy day. +Anna was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake and many presents. She wanted to open them all and see what was inside. She asked her mom if she could open them now. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful not to make a mess, okay?" her mom said. + +"Okay, mom, I will be careful," Anna said. She took the first present and tore the paper. It was a book with colorful pictures. She liked it very much. She said thank you to her grandma, who gave her the book. + +She took the second present and tore the paper. It was a doll with a pretty dress. She liked it very much. She said thank you to her aunt, who gave her the doll. + +She took the third present and tore the paper. It was a box of crayons and a coloring book. She liked it very much. She said thank you to her dad, who gave her the crayons and the book. + +She took the fourth present and tore the paper. It was a big jar of slime. She liked it very much. She said thank you to her friend, who gave her the slime. + +She opened the jar and took out some slime. It was sticky and gooey and fun. She stretched it and squished it and rolled it. She put some on her head and some on her face and some on her hands. She laughed and giggled and made funny noises. + +But then she saw her mom's face. Her mom looked angry and sad. She saw the mess she had made. There was slime on the table, on the floor, on the cake, on the presents, on the guests. Everyone was staring at her. She felt bad. She had embarrassed her mom and herself. She wanted to cry. + +"I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry, everyone," she said. "I didn't mean to make a mess. I just wanted to play with the slime. It was a nice present. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mom sighed and hugged her. "It's okay, Anna, I'm not mad at you. I know you were just having fun. But you have to be more careful next time, okay? Slime is not for putting on your head or on the cake. It's for playing with in a bowl or on a plate. And you have to clean up after yourself, okay?" + +"Okay, mom, I understand. I will be more careful next time. And I will help you clean up the mess. I love you, mom. And I love all my presents. Thank you, everyone, for coming to my birthday," Anna said. + +Everyone smiled and clapped and said happy birthday to Anna. They helped her and her mom clean up the mess. They ate some cake and played some games. Anna had a good birthday, even though it was a little messy. She learned a new word: embarrass. She hoped she would not embarrass herself or her mom again. +Lily liked to swim in the pool. She had a bucket and a shovel. She filled the bucket with water and poured it on her head. She laughed and splashed. + +But then she saw a frog. The frog was green and slimy. Lily wanted to catch the frog. She ran after it with her bucket. The frog jumped into the pool. Lily followed it. + +Mama saw Lily. She was angry. She shouted, "Lily, no! You are naughty! You cannot swim with the frog! You can get sick!" She took Lily out of the pool. She dried her with a towel. She put her in time out. + +Lily was sad. She liked the frog. She did not want to be naughty. She said, "Sorry, Mama. I love you." Mama hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to listen to me. Frogs are not for swimming. They are for looking." She gave Lily a book about frogs. Lily smiled. She learned about frogs. She did not swim with them anymore. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But they were afraid of the loop. The loop was a big metal ring that you could climb on or hang from. It looked like a giant hoop. Some older kids liked to do tricks on the loop, but Sara and Ben thought it was too high and too hard. + +One day, a new kid came to the park. His name was Max. He was very tall and had a loud voice. He saw Sara and Ben playing on the swings and said, "Hey, you two. Do you want to try the loop? It's fun and easy. I can show you how to do it." + +Sara and Ben shook their heads. They did not want to try the loop. They were happy on the swings. But Max did not listen. He grabbed Sara's hand and pulled her off the swing. He said, "Come on, don't be a baby. The loop is not scary. It's fun. Watch me." + +Max ran to the loop and jumped on it. He swung around and around, faster and faster. He looked like a blur. He shouted, "See? This is how you do it. Now you try." + +Sara was scared. She did not want to go on the loop. She wanted to go back to the swing. She said, "No, thank you. I don't like the loop. Please let me go." + +But Max did not let her go. He said, "Don't be silly. You'll like it once you try it. Come on, it's your turn." + +He pushed Sara towards the loop. Sara felt a big push on her back. She lost her balance and fell on the loop. She screamed. She felt the loop spinning and spinning. She felt dizzy and sick. She wanted to get off, but she could not. She was stuck on the loop. + +Ben saw Sara on the loop. He was scared too. He wanted to help Sara, but he did not know how. He ran to the loop and tried to grab Sara's hand. But he missed. He tried again and again, but he could not reach her. He cried, "Sara, Sara, hold on. I'll get you off. Don't be scared." + +But Sara was scared. She was scared of the loop. She was scared of Max. She was scared of falling. She wished Ben could save her. She wished she never met Max. She wished she never left the swing. She wished the loop would stop. +Tom and Lily went to the grocery with Mom. They liked to watch all the things in the store. They saw fruits, vegetables, bread, milk, eggs, and many more. Mom put some things in the cart, but not everything. + +"Mom, can we have cookies?" Tom asked. He saw a big bag of cookies on the shelf. + +"No, Tom, we have cookies at home. We don't need more cookies," Mom said. + +"But I want cookies!" Tom said. He was persistent. He tried to grab the bag of cookies. + +"Tom, stop that. You have to listen to Mom. Cookies are not good for you all the time," Lily said. She was older than Tom and knew better. + +"But I want cookies!" Tom said again. He cried and kicked his legs. + +Mom was not happy. She took Tom out of the cart and held him in her arms. She said, "Tom, you are being very naughty. You have to calm down and behave. If you don't, we will go home and you will have no cookies and no toys." + +Tom did not like that. He did not want to go home without cookies and toys. He stopped crying and said, "Sorry, Mom. I will be good." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better, Tom. Thank you for saying sorry. Now, let's finish our grocery and go home. Maybe you can have one cookie after dinner, if you eat your vegetables." + +Tom nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I will eat my vegetables." + +Lily smiled too and said, "Good job, Tom. I'm proud of you." + +They finished their grocery and went home. Tom and Lily helped Mom put the things away. Then they played with their toys and waited for dinner. They were happy. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was yellow. She liked to draw suns, stars, flowers and birds with yellow. She wanted to be a famous artist when she grew up. + +One day, she found a big white paper on the table. She was very happy. She took her yellow crayon and started to draw a big sun in the middle. Then she drew some stars around it. She thought it looked very pretty. + +But then she had an idea. She wanted to make her picture more colorful. She looked at her other crayons and picked a blue one. She added some blue sky above the sun and stars. Then she picked a green one. She added some green grass below the sun and stars. Then she picked a red one. She added some red flowers on the grass. She smiled. She liked her picture very much. + +She showed her picture to her mom and dad. They were very proud of her. They said she was a very good artist. They hung her picture on the wall. Lily felt very happy. She thought she was a famous artist. She hugged her mom and dad and said thank you. They hugged her back and said they loved her. +Sam was a young cat who liked to play outside. He liked to chase birds and bugs and climb trees. He also liked to eat tuna, but his mom only gave him tuna once a week. She said tuna was a special treat and he had to eat other food too. + +One day, Sam saw a big can of tuna on the porch. He was very hungry and curious. He thought maybe his mom left it for him as a surprise. He jumped on the can and tried to open it with his paws. He could smell the tuna inside and it made his mouth water. + +But the can was not easy to open. Sam scratched and bit and pushed, but the can did not move. He got tired and frustrated. He decided to leave the can and go play somewhere else. He thought maybe he could come back later and try again. + +But he did not know that the can was not his mom's. It was his neighbor's, who liked to fish and make tuna salad. He also did not know that the sun was very hot that day. The sun shone on the can and made it very warm. The tuna inside the can got warm too. It started to smell bad and spoil. + +When Sam came back to the can, he was surprised. The can was not shiny anymore. It was rusty and dented. The tuna inside the can was not wet anymore. It was dry and brown. It smelled very bad and made Sam sick. He did not want to eat it anymore. He wished he had listened to his mom and eaten other food. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that tuna was not always a good treat. He learned that some things are better when they are fresh and cold. He learned that he should not take things that are not his. He learned that he should be careful what he wished for. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. They wanted to see the beach and the zoo and the park. + +"Are we there yet?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, honey, soon," Mom said. + +But on the way, they saw a big truck. The truck was very nosy. It made loud noises and blew smoke. It got too close to their car and bumped it. Their car went off the road and hit a tree. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Ben cried. + +Mom and Dad were hurt too. They called for help. A nice man came and took them to the hospital.

She liked to see their faces and remember the fun times they had together. + +One day, Lily was feeling lonely. She missed her grandma, who lived far away. She wanted to talk to her and hear her voice. She asked her mom if she could call her grandma. + +"Of course, sweetie. You can choose a photo of grandma and show it to her on the phone. She will be happy to see you," mom said. + +Lily opened the book and looked for a photo of grandma. She saw many photos, but she liked one the best. It was a photo of Lily and grandma at the park. They were smiling and holding hands. Lily remembered how grandma pushed her on the swing and gave her a hug. + +Lily picked up the photo and ran to the phone. She dialed grandma's number and waited. She heard a ring and then grandma's voice. + +"Hello, who is this?" grandma asked. + +"Hi, grandma, it's me, Lily. I have a photo of you and me. Do you want to see it?" Lily said. + +"Oh, Lily, I'm so happy to hear from you. Yes, I want to see the photo. Can you show it to me on the phone?" grandma said. + +Lily held the photo close to the phone and pressed a button. She saw grandma's face on the screen. Grandma saw the photo and smiled. + +"That's a beautiful photo, Lily. I remember that day. We had so much fun at the park. I love you, Lily. You are my precious granddaughter," grandma said. + +"I love you too, grandma. You are my best grandma. I miss you," Lily said. + +They talked for a while and told each other stories. Lily felt happy and not lonely anymore. She was glad she chose that photo. She knew grandma was glad too. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars. They have many cars, big and small, red and blue, fast and slow. But their favorite car is the old car. The old car is in the backyard. It does not work. It is dirty and rusty. It has a hole in the roof. It is rot. + +"Let's play with the old car!" Ben says to Sam one day. + +"Okay!" Sam says. They run to the backyard. They climb into the old car. They pretend to drive. They make noises with their mouths. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +"Where are we going?" Sam asks Ben. + +"We are going to the zoo!" Ben says. "We will see lions and monkeys and elephants!" + +"Wow, that sounds fun!" Sam says. "But how will we get there? The old car is rot. It can not go." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He smiles. + +"The old car is rot, but it is also original!" he says. "It is special. It has magic. If we close our eyes and wish hard, it will take us anywhere we want!" + +"Really?" Sam says. He is not sure. + +"Really!" Ben says. "Let's try it!" + +They close their eyes. They wish hard. They say, "Old car, old car, take us to the zoo!" + +They wait. They feel a bump. They hear a roar. They open their eyes. They see lions and monkeys and elephants! + +They are at the zoo! + +They are happy. + +They hug the old car. + +They say, "Thank you, old car, thank you!" +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big statue of a bird. The statue is smooth and shiny. Anna likes the statue. She wants to touch it. + +"Look, Ben, a bird statue!" Anna says. "Can we go and see it?" + +"OK, Anna, let's go," Ben says. They run to the statue. Anna reaches out her hand to touch the bird's wing. + +"Wow, it's so smooth!" Anna says. "Do you think it can fly?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, Anna, it can't fly. It's just a statue. Statues don't fly." + +Anna frowns. She wants the statue to fly. She thinks it would be fun to see it in the sky. She has an idea. + +"Maybe we can help it fly," Anna says. "We can pretend to be birds too. We can flap our arms and make bird sounds. Maybe the statue will hear us and want to join us." + +Ben smiles. He likes Anna's idea. He thinks it would be fun to pretend to be birds. He nods. + +"OK, Anna, let's try," Ben says. They stand next to the statue. They flap their arms and make bird sounds. They pretend to fly around the park. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet!" Anna says. + +"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" Ben says. + +They have a lot of fun. They don't notice that the statue is watching them. The statue likes their game. The statue wishes it could fly too.

They wanted to eat some, but they knew they had to ask their mom first. + +They ran to their mom, who was reading a book in the living room. "Mom, can we have some peanuts?" they asked together. + +Mom looked at them and smiled. "Yes, you can have some peanuts, but only a few. Too many peanuts can make your tummy hurt. And you have to share them with your friends, okay?" + +Tim and Kim nodded. They knew that sharing was good and that mom knew best. They took the jar of peanuts and went to the backyard, where their friends were playing. + +They opened the jar and poured some peanuts into a bowl.

The zebra had black and white stripes all over its body. It looked like a big horse with a funny coat. + +"Mom, can we feed the zebra?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, honey. We can buy some carrots at the kiosk. Zebras love carrots," mom said. + +They went to the kiosk and bought a bunch of carrots. Then they walked to the zebra enclosure. There were many zebras there, but one of them came close to the fence. It had a friendly face and a long mane. + +"Hello, zebra. We have some carrots for you. Do you want some?" Tom said. + +The zebra nodded its head and made a soft sound. It stretched its neck and took a carrot from Tom's hand. It chewed it happily and licked Tom's fingers. + +"Wow, you are so nice, zebra. Can I pet you?" Lila said. + +The zebra nodded again and let Lila stroke its fur. It felt warm and comfortable. Lila smiled and gave the zebra another carrot. + +"Thank you, zebra.

We have to go, kids," mom said. + +"OK, mom. But can we say goodbye to the zebra?" Tom said. + +"Of course. But hurry up, please," mom said. + +They turned to the zebra, but they could not see it anymore. It had vanished behind a big tree. + +"Zebra, where are you? We want to say goodbye," Lila called. + +But the zebra did not come out. It was hiding from the storm. + +"Maybe the zebra is scared of the thunder and lightning. Maybe it wants to be alone," Tom said. + +"I understand. But I hope the zebra is OK. I hope it comes back when the rain stops," Lila said. + +They waved to the tree and hoped the zebra could see them. Then they followed their mom to the exit.

He felt proud of himself for being kind. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the park. One day, she was wearing her favorite sweater.

They want to make a house with the box. + +"Let's cut a door and a window," says Ben. + +"OK, and we can draw flowers and stars on the walls," says Mia. + +They use scissors and markers to make the house. They are happy with their work. They go inside the house and pretend to cook and read. + +"Look, the sun is shining," says Mia. "We need a roof for our house." + +"How can we make a roof?" asks Ben. + +They think hard. They see a blanket on the sofa. They have an idea. + +"Let's use the blanket as a roof," says Mia. + +They take the blanket and put it over the box. They make sure it covers the whole house. + +"Now we have a roof," says Ben. + +They go back inside the house. They feel cozy and warm. + +"Let's test our roof," says Mia. "Let's make rain sounds with our mouths." + +They start to make rain sounds. They pretend it is raining outside. They laugh and giggle. + +"Our roof is good," says Ben. "It keeps us dry." + +"Our house is good," says Mia. "It makes us happy." + +They hug each other and smile. They love their house and their roof. They love their friend. They are happy. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their kayak in the lake. They took turns to paddle and steer. Sometimes they raced with other kids who had boats. Tom and Mia were very good at kayaking. + +One day, they saw a big yellow kayak with two seats and a flag. It belonged to Sam and Zoe, who were older and bigger than Tom and Mia. Sam and Zoe laughed and waved at them. They said their kayak was faster and stronger than Tom and Mia's kayak. They challenged them to a race. + +Tom and Mia agreed to race. They wanted to show Sam and Zoe that their kayak was good too. They paddled hard and fast. They tried to catch up with the big yellow kayak. But Sam and Zoe were too fast. They reached the finish line first. They cheered and shouted. They said they were the best kayakers in the lake. + +Tom and Mia felt sad and angry. They wished they had a big yellow kayak too. They were envious of Sam and Zoe. They thought it was not fair. They wanted to win. They did not want to surrender. + +But then they looked at each other. They saw that they still had fun. They saw that they still had their kayak. They saw that they still had each other. They smiled and hugged. They realized that they did not need a big yellow kayak to be happy. They were happy with what they had. They decided to surrender. They paddled to Sam and Zoe and said congratulations. They said they were good kayakers too. They asked if they could try their big yellow kayak sometime. Sam and Zoe said yes. They said they were sorry for being mean. They said they liked Tom and Mia's kayak too. They invited them to play with them. Tom and Mia agreed. They all became friends. They all shared their kayaks. They all had fun. +Lily loved to perform. She liked to sing and dance and make people happy. She had a big show today at her preschool. She practiced a lot with her friends. She wore a pretty dress and a shiny crown. + +But when she got to the stage, she saw something that made her angry. Jake, the boy who always teased her, had an ice-cream cone. He licked it and smiled at her. He said, "You can't have any, Lily. You are too silly to perform. You will mess up and everyone will laugh at you." + +Lily felt sad and mad. She wanted to cry and run away. But then she remembered that she was independent. She did not need Jake or his ice-cream. She had her own talent and her own friends. She said, "No, Jake. You are wrong. I am not silly. I am smart and brave and fun. I can perform and make everyone happy. And I don't want your ice-cream. It looks yucky and melty." + +Then she turned to the audience and smiled. She sang and danced and made everyone happy. Jake's ice-cream dripped on his shirt and he looked silly. Lily's friends cheered for her and gave her hugs. Lily felt proud and happy. She performed and she did great. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise outside. They ran to the window and saw that it was raining hard. The rain was pouring from the sky and making puddles on the ground. + +"Wow, look at the rain!" Lily said. "It's so wet and noisy!" + +"I like the rain," Tom said. "It makes the plants and flowers grow. And it makes rainbows!" + +They watched the rain for a while. Then they saw a bird on the fence. The bird was wet and shivering. It looked sad and cold. + +"Look, Lily, a bird!" Tom said. "It needs help!" + +Lily nodded. She ran to the kitchen and got a towel and a bowl of seeds. She came back to the window and opened it a little bit. She threw the towel over the bird and gently picked it up. She brought it inside and wrapped it in the towel. She put the bowl of seeds next to it. + +"Here you go, bird," Lily said. "You can stay here until the rain stops. You can eat some seeds if you are hungry." + +The bird looked at Lily and Tom with its bright eyes. It chirped softly and nibbled on some seeds. It felt warm and safe. + +"Thank you, Lily and Tom," the bird said. "You are very kind and brave. I am grateful for your help." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They were happy to help the bird. They played with it until the rain stopped. Then they opened the window and let the bird fly away. The bird waved its wings and sang a beautiful song. + +"Goodbye, bird," Lily and Tom said. "We hope to see you again!" + +The bird flew away and joined its friends in the sky. It saw a rainbow and felt happy. It was grateful for Lily and Tom. +Lily and Ben were playing cops and robbers in the park. Lily was the cop and Ben was the robber. Lily chased Ben around the trees and the swings, trying to catch him. Ben ran fast and hid behind a bench. + +"Stop, robber! You are under arrest!" Lily shouted. "Give back the money you stole from the bank!" + +"No, never!" Ben said. "You can't catch me, cop!" + +Lily saw Ben's foot sticking out from behind the bench. She ran towards him and grabbed his foot. She pulled him out and put him on the ground. + +"Ha, I got you!" Lily said. "Now you have to go to jail!" + +Ben was sad. He didn't want to go to jail. He wanted to keep playing. He looked at Lily and said, "Please, cop, don't take me to jail. I'm sorry I stole the money. I'll give it back to the bank. Please, let me go." + +Lily thought for a moment. She saw that Ben was sorry and wanted to be good. She decided to be generous and let him go. She said, "Okay, robber, I'll let you go. But you have to surrender the money and promise not to steal again. Deal?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Deal. Thank you, cop. You are very generous." + +Lily and Ben hugged and smiled. They returned the money to the bank and continued to play. They learned that stealing is bad and forgiving is good. They were happy and good friends. +Lily liked to play with her dad's computer. She liked to press the buttons and watch the pictures on the screen. Sometimes, she saw animals or people or colors. She liked to make noises like the animals or say hello to the people. + +One day, she saw a picture of a big, green dragon. It had sharp teeth and wings and fire. Lily was scared. She did not like the dragon. She wanted it to go away. She tried to press the buttons, but the dragon did not go away. It seemed to look at her and roar. + +Lily ran to her dad and told him about the dragon. He smiled and hugged her. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. The dragon is not real. It is fake. It is just a picture on the computer. It cannot hurt you or me. Do you want to see how I can make it go away?" + +Lily nodded. She was curious. She followed her dad to the computer. He showed her a button that said "close". He said, "This button makes the picture go away. Watch." He pressed the button and the dragon disappeared. Lily was happy. She clapped her hands and said, "Bye-bye, dragon!" + +Her dad said, "See, Lily? The computer is fun. You can see many things on it. But you have to remember that they are not real. They are fake. They are just pictures. You can play with them, but you don't have to be afraid of them. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK, dad. I understand. The computer is fun. But you are real. And I love you." She hugged her dad and gave him a kiss. He kissed her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my real, sweet girl." +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big ant hill. They want to look closer. + +"Wow, look at all the ants!" Lily says. "They are so busy and fast." + +"Yes, they are. They work hard to make their home and find food," Ben says. + +They watch the ants for a while. They see some ants carrying crumbs, some ants digging tunnels, and some ants guarding the entrance. + +"Can we touch them?" Lily asks. + +"No, we can't. They might bite us. And we might hurt them. They are very small and we are very big," Ben says. + +"Oh, okay. I don't want to hurt them. They are nice," Lily says. + +They decide to leave the ants alone. They go to find some flowers and rocks to play with. + +"Bye, ants. Thank you for letting us watch you," Lily says. + +"Bye, ants. You are amazing," Ben says. + +The ants hear them and feel grateful. They are happy that the children are kind and respectful. They wave their antennae and go back to their work. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and books. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. + +"Me first!" Tim shouted. He pushed Sam and climbed up the ladder. + +"That's not nice!" Sam said. He felt sad and angry. + +"Too bad!" Tim said. He slid down and laughed. + +Sam's mom saw what happened. She walked over to Tim and his mom. + +"Tim, you need to say sorry to Sam. You broke the law of sharing. You have to pay for your mistake," she said. + +"What law? What pay?" Tim asked. He did not understand. + +"The law is a rule that everyone must follow. It helps us be good and kind. If you break the law, you have to pay. That means you have to do something to make it right. Like saying sorry, or giving a hug, or letting Sam go first next time," she explained. + +Tim's mom nodded. She was humble. She knew Tim did something wrong. + +"Tim, you heard what Sam's mom said. Do you want to pay for your mistake?" she asked. + +Tim thought for a moment. He did not like to say sorry. But he also did not like to lose his friend. He looked at Sam. Sam looked sad. + +"Okay, I will pay. I'm sorry, Sam. I was mean. Can we still be friends?" he said. + +Sam smiled. He was happy. He liked to forgive. + +"Sure, we can still be friends. Thank you, Tim. Do you want to play with me?" he said. + +Tim nodded. He was glad. He liked to play. + +"Yes, I want to play with you. Let's go to the swings. We can take turns," he said. + +They ran to the swings. They had fun. They learned to follow the law and pay for their mistakes. They were humble and good friends. +Anna and Ben love to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They make pictures of flowers, animals, and houses. Sometimes they paint on paper, and sometimes they paint on the wall. + +One day, Anna has a new idea. She sees a big white box in the garage. She urges Ben to help her. She says, "Let's paint the box. It will be fun. We can make it a castle or a spaceship or a boat." + +Ben agrees. He likes Anna's idea. They take the box and some paints to the backyard. They start to paint the box with different colors and shapes. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Mom comes out. She sees the box and the paints. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? You made a big mess. You can't paint the box. It belongs to Dad. He needs it for his work." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They did not know the box was important. They only wanted to paint. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to make you angry. We thought the box was empty. We wanted to make a brilliant picture." + +Mom sighs. She sees the result of their painting. She sees the colors and the shapes. She sees their faces. She says, "I know you were trying to be creative. But you have to ask before you use something that is not yours. And you have to clean up after you paint. Come on, let's go inside. We will find a way to fix the box. And maybe we can find something else for you to paint on." +Tom and Mia liked to swim in the pool. They were very competitive. They always wanted to be the fastest and the best. They did not like to share or help each other. + +One day, they had a big race. They swam as fast as they could. They pushed and splashed each other. They did not care about the rules or the other swimmers. They only wanted to win. + +But they swam too hard and too long. They got tired and sore. They could not finish the race. They felt sad and angry. They blamed each other for losing. They did not want to be friends anymore. + +The next day, they saw a new swimmer in the pool. He was very friendly and kind. He smiled and waved at them. He asked them if they wanted to swim with him. He said he liked to swim for fun and to learn new things. He said he did not care about winning or losing. He said he wanted to make new friends. + +Tom and Mia felt curious and shy. They decided to swim with him. They had a lot of fun. They learned new tricks and games. They laughed and cheered for each other. They did not push or splash each other. They cared about the rules and the other swimmers. They did not want to win or lose. They wanted to have fun and be friends. + +They realized that swimming was not only about being competitive. It was also about being happy and kind. They thanked the new swimmer for showing them a new way to swim. They apologized to each other for being mean and rude. They hugged and made up. They restored their friendship. + +The moral of the story is: Being competitive is not always good. It can make you tired and angry. It can make you lose your friends. Being happy and kind is better. It can make you healthy and joyful. It can make you gain new friends. +Lily and Tom were bored. They wanted to play something fun. They looked around the room and saw a big mattress. They had an idea. + +"Let's build a fort with the mattress!" Lily said. + +"OK, how do we do that?" Tom asked. + +Lily and Tom dragged the mattress to the corner. They leaned it against the wall and the couch. They found some pillows and blankets and put them under and over the mattress. They made a door with a sheet. + +"Look, we made a fort!" Lily said. "Let's go inside and pretend we are knights and princesses." + +They crawled inside the fort. They had some toys and books. They played and read and had fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. The mattress fell down. It was too weak to stand up. It crashed on the floor and made a mess. + +"Oh no, our fort is broken!" Tom said. + +"Mommy and Daddy will be mad!" Lily said. + +They ran out of the fort. They saw Mommy and Daddy in the doorway. They looked angry. + +"What did you do?" Mommy asked. + +"We were just playing," Lily said. + +"We wanted to build a fort," Tom said. + +Mommy and Daddy sighed. They were not happy. They told Lily and Tom to clean up the mess. They helped them put the mattress back on the bed. They told them not to play with the mattress again. + +"Next time, use something else to build a fort," Daddy said. + +"Like what?" Lily asked. + +"Like cardboard boxes, or chairs, or cushions," Mommy said. + +"OK, we will try that," Tom said. + +Lily and Tom learned their lesson. They did not play with the mattress anymore. They found other things to build forts with. They still had fun. +One day, a lazy rabbit was lying on the grass, looking at the sky. He saw a bird fly by and said, "I wish I could fly like that. It must be fun and easy." + +A squirrel heard him and said, "You are silly, rabbit. You have long ears, not wings. You can hop and run, not fly. Flying is hard and dangerous. You should be happy with what you have." + +The rabbit said, "But I am bored of hopping and running. I want to see new things and go to new places. Maybe there is a way I can fly." + +The squirrel said, "There is no way, rabbit. You are a rabbit, not a bird. Stop dreaming and be realistic." + +The rabbit did not listen to the squirrel. He looked around and saw a big balloon tied to a tree. It was red and shiny and had air inside. The rabbit had an idea. He said, "Maybe I can fly with that balloon. It looks light and strong. I will try it." + +The squirrel said, "Don't do it, rabbit. It is dangerous. You don't know how to control the balloon. You might get lost or hurt. Stay on the ground, where you belong." + +The rabbit did not listen to the squirrel. He hopped to the tree and bit the rope that tied the balloon. The balloon flew up in the air, taking the rabbit with it. The rabbit was happy and excited. He said, "Look at me, squirrel. I am flying. I am flying like a bird. I can see everything from here. It is amazing." + +The squirrel said, "Come back, rabbit. Come back. You are flying too high. You are flying too far. You don't know where you are going. You are in trouble." + +The rabbit did not listen to the squirrel. He was too busy enjoying the view. He saw the mountains, the rivers, the fields, and the towns. He saw other birds and animals. He said, "This is the best thing ever. I love flying. I don't want to stop." + +But soon, the rabbit realized that he had a problem. The balloon was losing air. It was getting smaller and smaller. It was going down and down. The rabbit was scared. He said, "Help, help. I am falling. I am falling. I don't know how to land. I don't know what to do." + +The squirrel said, "I told you, rabbit. I told you. You should have listened to me. You should have stayed on the ground. Now you are in trouble. I hope you are okay." + +The rabbit said, "I am sorry, squirrel. I am sorry. You were right. I was wrong. I was silly. I was lazy. I should have been happy with what I had. I should have been realistic. Please help me. Please save me." + +The squirrel said, "I will try, rabbit. I will try. But I don't know if I can. You are too far away. You are too high up. You are too fast. You are too heavy. You are a rabbit, not a bird. You can't fly. You can only fall." +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play outside with their wagon. They fill the wagon with toys and books and snacks. They pull the wagon to the park. They find a nice spot under a big tree. + +"Look, Lily, I have a banana for you," Sam says. He takes out a yellow fruit from the wagon and peels it. He gives half to Lily and keeps half for himself. + +"Thank you, Sam. I like bananas. They are sweet and soft," Lily says. She bites the banana and smiles. She tastes the fruit in her mouth. + +"I like bananas, too. They are good for you. They make you strong and smart," Sam says. He eats his banana and wipes his mouth. He tastes the fruit on his tongue. + +They finish their bananas and put the peels in the wagon. They look at the other snacks they have. They have crackers, cheese, grapes, and juice. They decide to share everything and have a picnic. + +They are happy. They have a wagon full of yummy things. They have each other. They have a sunny day. They taste the joy of friendship. +Sara and her mom went to visit grandma in the big building. Sara liked the big building, but she did not like the elevator. The elevator was old and made loud noises. Sara was scared of the elevator. + +"Mom, can we take the stairs?" Sara asked. + +"No, sweetie, the stairs are too many and too hard. The elevator is faster and easier. Don't be afraid, I'm here with you," mom said. + +They got in the elevator and pushed the button. The elevator started to move, but then it stopped. The lights went off and the door did not open. Sara and mom were stuck in the elevator. + +"Mom, what's happening?" Sara cried. + +"I don't know, honey, maybe the elevator is broken. Don't worry, someone will come and help us soon. We just have to wait and be calm," mom said. + +Sara and mom hugged each other and tried to be brave. They heard some noises outside the elevator. They hoped it was someone who could fix the elevator and let them out. + +"Hello, is anyone in there?" a voice said. + +"Yes, yes, we're in here! Please help us!" mom shouted. + +"OK, I'm the repairman. I'm sorry, the elevator is very old and sometimes it stops working. I'm going to fix it and get you out. Just hang on a little longer," the voice said. + +Sara and mom felt relieved and thanked the voice. They waited patiently until they heard a click and saw the lights come back on. The door opened and they saw the repairman. He was a kind man with a toolbox and a smile. + +"Are you OK?" he asked. + +"Yes, we're OK, thank you so much!" mom said. + +"You're welcome. I'm sorry for the trouble. The elevator is very old and needs to be replaced. Maybe next time you can take the stairs," he said. + +Sara and mom nodded and smiled. They got out of the elevator and went to see grandma. Sara learned that sometimes old things can break and cause problems. She also learned that it is important to stay calm and trust that someone will help. She decided that next time she would take the stairs. She was not scared of the stairs anymore. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and the furniture was their ship. They used pillows, blankets and chairs to make a sail, a mast and a wheel. + +"Arr, matey, we are the fiercest pirates in the sea!" Ben said, holding a wooden spoon as a sword. + +"Arr, yes, we are! And we have a lot of treasure!" Anna said, pointing to a box of toys. + +But then they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom, who was baking a cake. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing? You made a big mess with the furniture! And you twisted the knob of the oven! The cake is ruined!" Mom said, sounding angry. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to make mom mad. They just wanted to have fun. + +"Sorry, mom. We were playing pirates. We did not know we twisted the oven," Anna said. + +"Sorry, mom. We will help you clean up the furniture. And we will make you a new cake," Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She was not happy, but she saw that Anna and Ben were sorry. She hugged them and said, "Thank you, my little pirates. I love you, but you have to be careful with the furniture and the oven. They are not toys. They can be dangerous. And you have to ask me before you use them." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They helped mom clean up the living room and make a new cake. They still liked to play pirates, but they did not twist the oven or mess up the furniture anymore. They played with their toys and their imagination instead. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they find a big red scarf in the snow. They think it is original and pretty. They decide to put it on their snowman. They wrap it around his neck and make him look cozy. + +They are happy with their snowman. They think he is the best snowman ever. They want to give him a name. Sara thinks of a name. She says, "Let's call him Fred." + +Ben likes the name. He says, "OK, Fred is a good name. He is our friend." He hugs the snowman. Sara hugs the snowman too. They are proud of their work. + +They look at each other and smile. They feel warm and fuzzy inside. They lean closer and kiss each other on the cheek. They blush and giggle. They say, "We like you, Fred. And we like each other too." They hold hands and run back to their houses. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had some bread, cheese, jam and butter on the table. + +"Let's make a sandwich!" said Tom. "I want cheese and jam on mine." + +"Me too!" said Lily. "But I also want butter. Butter is good." + +Tom nodded. He took a knife and cut some cheese. He put it on a slice of bread. Then he took a spoon and scooped some jam. He put it on another slice of bread. He put the two slices together and smiled. He had a cheese and jam sandwich. + +Lily did the same. But she also took the knife and spread some butter on her bread. She put the cheese and jam on top of the butter. She put the two slices together and smiled. She had a cheese, jam and butter sandwich. + +They were about to eat their sandwiches when they heard a knock on the door. They looked at each other and wondered who it was. + +"Who is it?" asked Tom. + +"It's me, Grandma!" said a voice. "I came to visit you and bring you some cookies." + +Tom and Lily loved Grandma. They loved her cookies too. They ran to the door and opened it. They saw Grandma standing there with a big smile and a basket of cookies. + +"Grandma!" they shouted. They hugged her and kissed her. They were very happy to see her. + +"Hello, my darlings!" said Grandma. "How are you? What are you doing?" + +"We are playing chefs!" said Tom. "We made sandwiches!" + +"Wow, that sounds fun!" said Grandma. "Can I see your sandwiches?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They took Grandma to the kitchen and showed her their sandwiches. Grandma looked at them and smiled. + +"They look delicious!" she said. "But what is this?" She pointed at Lily's sandwich. "Why do you have butter on your bread?" + +Lily looked at her sandwich and shrugged. "I like butter," she said. "Butter is good." + +Grandma shook her head. She looked at Tom and said, "Do you know what happens when you put butter on your bread and then put jam on top of it?" + +Tom shook his head. He didn't know. + +Grandma said, "The jam makes the butter melt. The butter makes the jam slide. The sandwich becomes messy and sticky. It is not good to eat. It is foolish to put butter and jam on the same bread." + +Tom and Lily looked at their sandwiches. They saw that Grandma was right. Lily's sandwich was messy and sticky. The butter had melted and the jam had slid. It looked gross. Tom's sandwich was neat and tidy. The cheese and jam stayed on the bread. It looked yummy. + +Lily felt silly. She had made a foolish sandwich. She wished she had not put butter on her bread. She wished she had made a sandwich like Tom's. + +She looked at Grandma and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma. I made a foolish sandwich. I don't want to eat it." + +Grandma smiled and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. You can learn from your mistake. Next time, you can make a better sandwich. Or you can try something else. There are many ways to make yummy food. You are still a good chef." + +Lily smiled and hugged her back. She said, "Thank you, Grandma. You are very kind. Can I have a cookie instead?" + +Grandma laughed and said, "Of course, you can. And so can Tom. You both deserve a treat. Come on, let's enter the living room and enjoy some cookies." +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a big box that she liked to pretend was a house. Ben had a small car that he liked to zoom around the floor. They were having fun until Ben saw Anna's box and wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have your box, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"No, it's mine. Go away!" Anna said. + +"But I want it. It's a nice box. Please, Anna!" Ben begged. + +"No, no, no! It's my house. You have your car. Leave me alone!" Anna shouted. + +Ben felt frustrated. He wanted the box so much. He had an idea. He grabbed a marker and ran to the box. He started to sign his name on the box with big letters. He thought that would make the box his. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Anna screamed. She saw Ben signing on her box. She was very angry. She ran to Ben and pushed him away. She tried to erase his name with her hand, but it was too late. The marker was permanent. + +"Look what you did! You ruined my box! You are so mean!" Anna cried. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I just wanted the box. I thought if I signed it, you would share it with me." Ben said. + +"Well, you thought wrong. You can't just sign things and take them. That's not fair. Now my box is ugly and I don't want it anymore. You can have it. I don't want to play with you ever again." Anna said. + +She threw the box at Ben and ran to her room. Ben felt sad and guilty. He didn't mean to make Anna so mad. He looked at the box and felt sorry. He wished he could take back what he did. He wished he could make Anna happy again. But he didn't know how. He sat on the floor and cried. The end. +Lily and Max love to play with their dinosaur toys. They have big ones and small ones, green ones and brown ones, ones that roar and ones that fly. They like to make them run and fight and eat in the garden. + +One day, Lily and Max find a new dinosaur toy in the shop. It is very big and shiny and has spikes on its back. They ask their mum if they can have it and she says yes. They are very happy and take it home. + +They play with the new dinosaur toy in the garden. They make it chase the other dinosaurs and knock them over. They make it roar and stomp and bite. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happens. The new dinosaur toy falls from the slide and lands on a rock. It makes a loud crack and breaks in two. Lily and Max are very sad. They try to fix it with tape and glue, but it does not work. The new dinosaur toy is broken. + +They do not know what to do. They do not want to throw it away, but they do not want to see it broken. They have an idea. They decide to bury it in the garden. They dig a big hole and put the broken dinosaur toy inside. They cover it with dirt and leaves and flowers. They say goodbye to the new dinosaur toy and thank it for the fun. + +They feel a little better. They think that maybe, one day, someone will find the buried dinosaur toy and fix it. They hope that it will have fun again. They go back to play with their other dinosaur toys. They are still sad, but they are also happy. They have each other and they have their dinosaurs. They are friends. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and plant seeds. They hoped to grow flowers and fruits. One day, they found a big bean in the dirt. It was shiny and green. + +"Wow, look at this bean!" Ben said. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Maybe it is a magic bean!" Lily said. "Let's plant it and see what happens!" + +They dug a hole and put the bean in it. They covered it with dirt and watered it. Then they waited. + +The next day, they ran to the garden. They wanted to see if the bean had grown. They were surprised by what they saw. The bean had sprouted a huge stem. It was taller than the house. It had leaves and flowers and pods. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "The bean is so powerful! It grew so fast and so high!" + +"Maybe it leads to a magic land!" Lily said. "Let's climb it and find out!" + +They grabbed the stem and started to climb. They were curious and brave. They wanted to see what was at the top. They did not recognize the danger. They did not know that a giant lived there. They did not hear his roar. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today, they hear music from the street. They run to see what is happening. + +They see many people and things. They see balloons, flowers, toys, and food. They see a big sign that says "Fair". They are happy. They want to join the fair. + +They see a stage with a band. The band plays loud and fun music. They see people dance on the stage. They see people dance in front of the stage. They see people dance all around. They want to dance too. + +They hold hands and go to the stage. They wait for their turn. They see a man with a microphone. He talks to the people. He says, "Who wants to dance with us? Come on, don't be shy!" + +Lily and Tom raise their hands. They shout, "We do! We do!" The man sees them. He smiles. He says, "OK, come on up, little ones! You are our next dancers!" + +Lily and Tom are excited. They climb on the stage. They see the band and the people. They hear the music and the cheers. They feel happy and brave. They start to dance. They dance with their feet, their arms, their heads, and their hearts. They dance like stars. They make everyone smile. They have fun. They are the best dancers of the fair. +Lily was having a picnic with her mom and dad in the park. She liked to eat the sandwiches and the fruit and the cookies. They were delicious. She also liked to watch the birds and the flowers and the bugs. + +One day, she saw a big ant on the grass. It was black and shiny and had six legs. Lily was curious. She wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand slowly and gently. + +But the ant did not like that. It felt scared. It bit Lily's finger with its tiny mouth. Lily felt a sharp pain. She cried out loud. She dropped the ant and shook her hand. She ran to her mom and dad. She was panicking. + +Mom and dad saw what happened. They hugged Lily and comforted her. They looked at her finger. It was red and swollen. They put some ice and some cream on it. They told Lily it was okay. They said the ant was just defending itself. They said Lily should not touch bugs without asking. + +Lily calmed down. She said she was sorry. She said she learned her lesson. She said she would not touch ants again. She said she still liked bugs, but only from far away. Mom and dad smiled. They kissed her finger and gave her a cookie. They said they loved her. Lily felt better. She ate the cookie. It was delicious. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a ball and a bucket. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. They fill the bucket with earth and make a hill. + +"Look at my hill!" Anna says. "It is big and brown." + +"I can make a bigger hill!" Tom says. He takes the bucket and puts more earth in it. He throws the earth on Anna's hill and makes it flat. + +"Hey, that is not nice!" Anna says. "You ruined my hill!" + +"I don't care!" Tom says. He laughs and throws more earth at Anna. He hits her face and her hair. Anna feels hurt and angry. She cries and runs away. + +Tom is alone. He feels bored and sorry. He wants to say sorry to Anna, but he does not know where she is. He looks for her, but he cannot find her. He sees a big dog. The dog is hungry and angry. It sees Tom and his ball. It wants to eat the ball and Tom. It runs to Tom and barks. Tom is scared. He tries to run away, but he is too slow. The dog catches him and bites him. Tom screams and bleeds. He wishes he was nice to Anna. He wishes he was healthy and happy. But it is too late. The dog is stronger than him. The dog eats him and his ball. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hedge. The hedge is green and thick. It has many holes. + +"Let's go inside the hedge!" Ben says. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +Lily is scared. She does not like dark places. She thinks the hedge is lonely and spooky. + +"No, Ben, I don't want to go inside the hedge," Lily says. "It is too dark and scary. Let's play somewhere else." + +Ben is not scared. He is curious and brave. He wants to see what is inside the hedge. + +"Come on, Lily, don't be a baby," Ben says. "It is not scary. It is just a hedge. Maybe there are animals or flowers or toys inside. Let's go and see." + +Ben runs to the hedge. He finds a hole and crawls inside. Lily stays behind. She cries and calls for Ben. + +"Ben, Ben, come back! I don't like the hedge. I want to play with you. Please come back!" + +But Ben does not hear Lily. He is too busy exploring the hedge. He sees many things. He sees a bird nest, a spider web, a snail shell, a broken ball. He thinks the hedge is fun and cool. + +He does not see the big dog. The big dog is angry and hungry. It lives in the hedge. It does not like visitors. It sees Ben. It growls and barks. It chases Ben. + +Ben is scared. He screams and runs. He tries to find a way out of the hedge. He does not know where to go. He is lost and alone. + +He wishes he had listened to Lily. He wishes he had not gone inside the hedge. He wishes he could play with Lily again. He is sorry and sad. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Anna has a yellow ball. Ben has a red car. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, a new boy comes to play. His name is Leo. He sees Anna's yellow ball and wants it. He runs to Anna and grabs the ball from her hand. Anna is sad and angry. She says, "No, Leo, that is my ball. Give it back!" + +Leo does not listen. He says, "I want the ball. It is yellow and shiny. It is mine now." He runs away with the ball. Ben sees what Leo does and follows him. He says, "Leo, that is not nice. You have to share. Anna is your friend. You have to give her the ball back." + +Leo does not care. He says, "No, I do not have to share. I do not have to be friends. I do what I want." He throws the ball in the air and catches it. He laughs. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not like Leo. They go to the teacher and tell her what Leo did. The teacher is not happy. She says, "Leo, that is very bad. You have to say sorry to Anna and give her the ball back. You cannot take things that are not yours. You have to ask first. You have to be kind and respectful. If you do not, I will not allow you to play with the other children." + +Leo is scared. He does not want to be alone. He says, "Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Ben. I was wrong. I will give you the ball back. Can we be friends?" + +Anna and Ben are happy. They say, "Yes, Leo, we can be friends. But you have to share and be nice. Can we play with your red car?" + +Leo says, "Yes, you can. I will share and be nice. Can we play with your yellow ball?" + +Anna says, "Yes, we can. We can play with both toys. We can have fun together." + +They all smile and hug. They play with the ball and the car. They are friends. The teacher is proud of them. She says, "Well done, children. You have learned a good lesson. Sharing is caring." +Anna was a tidy girl who liked to keep her toys and books in order. She had a big box where she put all her things when she was done playing. She also liked to eat healthy food, like carrots and apples, and drink water. + +One day, Anna went to visit her cousin Ben, who was not very tidy. He had toys and clothes all over his room, and he did not like to eat vegetables. He only wanted to eat candy and soda. Anna did not think that was good for him. + +"Ben, can I introduce you to my friend?" Anna asked, holding a stuffed bunny. + +"Who is your friend?" Ben asked, looking at the bunny. + +"This is Fluffy. He is a very tidy bunny. He always puts his toys away and he loves to eat carrots. Do you want to try a carrot?" Anna offered, taking a carrot out of her bag. + +"Yuck, no! I don't like carrots. They are gross and hard. I like candy. They are sweet and soft. Do you want some candy?" Ben offered, taking a candy out of his pocket. + +"No, thank you. I don't like candy. They are bad for your teeth and your tummy. I like carrots. They are good for your eyes and your skin. Do you want to see how Fluffy eats a carrot?" Anna asked, breaking a piece of carrot and giving it to the bunny. + +Anna made a crunching sound with her mouth as she pretended that Fluffy was eating the carrot. Ben watched with curiosity. He had never seen a bunny eat a carrot before. He wondered how it tasted. + +"Can I try a bite?" Ben asked, reaching for the carrot. + +"Sure, here you go. But be careful, it might be a bit hard for you. You have to chew it well." Anna said, handing him the carrot. + +Ben took a small bite of the carrot. He felt the crunch and the sweetness in his mouth. He liked it. He took another bite, and another. He finished the carrot and smiled. + +"That was good. Can I have another one?" Ben asked, looking at Anna. + +"Of course. I have more in my bag. Do you want to share them with Fluffy?" Anna asked, taking out another carrot. + +"Yes, please. And can you show me how to put my toys away? I want to be a tidy boy like Fluffy." Ben said, picking up his toys and putting them in a basket. + +Anna smiled and hugged him. She was happy that Ben liked her friend and her food. She helped him tidy his room and then they played with Fluffy and the other toys. They had a lot of fun. + +The moral of the story is: Being tidy and eating healthy food can make you happy and friendly. +Sara and her mom moved to a new house. Sara was sad to leave her old friends and her old room. She did not like the new house. It was big and cold and strange. + +"Come on, Sara, let's unpack your things. Maybe you'll feel better when you see your toys and books and clothes," mom said. + +Sara shook her head. She did not want to unpack. She wanted to go back to her old house. She hugged her teddy bear. Her teddy bear was her best friend. He was loyal and soft and always with her. + +Mom saw Sara's face. She looked unhappy and scared. Mom smiled and hugged Sara and her teddy bear. + +"I know it's hard to move, Sara. I miss our old house too. But we'll make this house our home. We'll decorate your room and make it cozy and fun. And you'll make new friends here. I promise," mom said. + +Sara looked at mom. She saw mom's face. She looked kind and brave. Sara nodded. She decided to give the new house a chance. She let go of her teddy bear and took a box. She opened it and saw her dolls and puzzles and crayons. She smiled a little. Maybe the new house was not so bad after all. She started to unpack. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park. They see a big mat on the grass. There are people on the mat. They are doing yoga. + +"Look, Ben, they are bending and stretching. Let's try it too!" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, it looks fun!" Ben says. + +They run to the mat. They copy what the people are doing. They make funny shapes with their bodies. They laugh and giggle. + +But one of the people is not happy. He is fat and grumpy. He does not like Lily and Ben. He thinks they are noisy and rude. He gets up and walks to them. + +"Hey, you two, get off my mat! You are ruining my yoga! Go away!" he says in a loud voice. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They do not like the fat man. They do not want to make him angry. They say sorry and run away. + +They find another place to play. They decide to do their own yoga. They make up their own shapes and names. They have more fun than before. + +They are happy. They do not care about the fat man. They are good friends. They end their yoga with a hug. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Lily found a big root that was brown and hard. She pulled it out of the ground and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I found a root. What is it for?" Lily asked. + +Ben looked at the root and scratched his head. He remembered what his mom had told him once. + +"I think it is for healing. Mom said some roots can make you feel better when you are sick or hurt. She said they have magic inside them," Ben said. + +Lily was curious. She wanted to see the magic. She broke the root in half and sniffed it. It smelled funny. She gave one piece to Ben and kept the other. + +"Let's try it. Maybe it will make us strong and fast," Lily said. + +They both bit the root and chewed it. It tasted bitter and made their mouths dry. They spit it out and made faces. + +"Yuck, this is not good. This is not magic. This is gross," Lily said. + +Ben agreed. He felt a tingle in his tongue and a pain in his stomach. He threw the root away and ran to the house. + +"Mom, mom, we ate a root and it was bad. It hurt us. Can you heal us?" Ben cried. + +Mom heard Ben and came out of the kitchen. She saw Lily and Ben looking pale and tired. She took them inside and gave them some water and a hug. + +"Don't worry, my loves. You will be fine. The root was not for eating. It was for making tea or medicine. Next time, ask me before you try something new. I will heal you with my love and care," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and thanked Mom. They learned their lesson and never ate roots again. They rested on the couch and watched a cartoon. They felt better soon and smiled at each other. They still liked to play in the garden, but they only looked for bugs and worms. +Lila and Ben are friends. They live on a farm with their families. They like to play in the fields and watch the animals. Today is a special day. It is harvest day. The farmers are cutting the wheat and putting it in big trucks. The wheat is yellow and soft. It is good for making bread and cakes. + +Lila and Ben run to the barn. They see a big cake on a table. It has candles and frosting. It is for the harvest party. The farmers will celebrate after they finish their work. Lila and Ben are happy. They love cake. + +"Can we have some cake now?" Ben asks. + +"No, we have to wait for the others," Lila says. "But we can sing a song." + +"Okay, what song?" Ben says. + +Lila thinks for a moment. Then she starts to sing: + +"Harvest, harvest, we are glad +We thank the sun and rain +For giving us the wheat we need +To make our bread and cake." + +Ben joins in. They sing loud and proud. They clap their hands and dance. They are having fun. + +The farmers hear them. They smile and laugh. They are proud of their children. They finish their work and join them in the barn. They light the candles and cut the cake. They share it with Lila and Ben. They hug and kiss them. They say: + +"Happy harvest day, Lila and Ben! You are our joy and pride. We love you very much." + +Lila and Ben are happy. They love their families. They love the farm. They love the harvest. They celebrate together. It is a special day. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hole in the hill. They wanted to see what was inside. They said to each other, "Let's go in the hole. Maybe we will find something fun." + +They walked into the hole. It was dark and cold. They used a flashlight to see. They saw rocks and dirt and bugs. They did not see anything fun. They said to each other, "This is not a hole. This is a cave. Maybe we should go back." + +But they did not know how to go back. They had walked too far. They were lost. They were scared. They said to each other, "Help! Help! We want to go home." + +But no one heard them. No one knew they were in the cave. They had not told anyone where they were going. They had not been clever. They had been silly. + +They spent a long time in the cave. They were hungry and thirsty and cold. They cried and hugged each other. They hoped someone would find them. But no one did. They did not come out of the cave. They did not see their families again. They did not play outside again. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. But today they have a fight. Tom wants to play with the red car. Sam wants to play with the red car too. They both say "It is mine!" + +They pull and push the red car. They yell and cry. They are not happy. They are not friends. + +Then they see a big dog. The dog is smelly. The dog is hungry. The dog wants to play with the red car too. The dog runs to Tom and Sam. The dog barks and jumps. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They forget the red car. They run away from the dog. They run to their mom. They hug their mom. They say "Sorry, mom." + +Mom is kind. She says "It is okay. You are safe. You can share the red car. You can be friends again." + +Tom and Sam say "Yes, mom." They go back to the red car. They give the dog a bone. They play together. They guess the dog's name. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were very happy to go to the zoo with their mom. They wanted to see the amazing animals, like the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. They ran to the elephant house, where they saw a big gray elephant with a long nose and big ears. + +"Look, mom, the elephant is splashing water with his nose!" Lily said, pointing at the elephant. + +"Yes, he is, Lily. He is very clever and likes to play with water," mom said, smiling. + +"Can we splash water with him, mom?" Ben asked, tugging at mom's hand. + +"No, Ben, we can't. The water is for the elephant, not for us. And we might get wet and cold," mom said, shaking her head. + +"But I want to splash water with the elephant!" Ben said, stamping his foot. He did not listen to mom. He ran to the fence and climbed over it. He ran to the water pool where the elephant was splashing. + +"Ben, no, come back!" mom shouted, scared. Lily shouted too. The elephant saw Ben and got angry. He did not like Ben in his pool. He lifted his nose and sprayed water at Ben. Ben screamed and fell down. The water was very strong and hurt Ben. The elephant lifted his foot and stepped on Ben. Ben did not scream anymore. He was very still and quiet. + +Mom and Lily cried. The zoo people came and took Ben away. They said Ben was very bad and did a very silly thing. They said Ben was gone and would not come back. Mom and Lily were very sad. They did not like the zoo anymore. They did not like the elephant anymore. They went home and hugged each other. They wished Ben was with them. They missed Ben very much. +Lily wanted to perform a dance for her mom and dad. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She turned on the music and started to spin and jump. + +But then she tripped on a toy and fell down. She felt a sharp pain in her toe. She looked at it and saw blood. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My toe hurts!" she wailed. + +Mom and dad heard her and ran to her. They picked her up and hugged her. + +"What happened, sweetie?" mom asked. + +"I was performing a dance and I hurt my toe!" Lily sobbed. + +"Oh, no, I'm sorry. Let me see your toe. We'll clean it and put a band-aid on it," dad said. + +He took her to the bathroom and washed her toe. He put a band-aid with a star on it. + +"There, all better. Does it still hurt?" he asked. + +"A little bit," Lily said. + +"You're very brave, Lily. How about we watch your dance later, when your toe feels better?" mom suggested. + +"Okay," Lily said. She smiled and hugged her mom and dad. + +"Thank you for taking care of me. I love you," she said. + +"We love you too, Lily. You're our star," they said. +Lily was fearful of the big chair in the dentist's office. She did not like the bright light and the loud noises. She did not want the dentist to look at her teeth. She held her mother's hand and sighed. + +"Hello, Lily, I'm Dr. Lee. I'm here to help you keep your teeth healthy and strong. Do you know how many teeth you have?" the dentist asked with a smile. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to talk. + +"Let me show you. You have twenty teeth, ten on the top and ten on the bottom. Can you count them with me?" the dentist said, holding a mirror and a small brush. + +Lily opened her mouth a little and whispered, "One, two, three..." + +"Very good, Lily. You are a smart girl. Now, let me see if you have any cavities. Cavities are small holes in your teeth that can hurt and make your teeth sick. I will use this gentle tool to check your teeth. It will not hurt, I promise. Can you be brave for me?" the dentist said, holding a small probe. + +Lily nodded. She wanted to be brave. She closed her eyes and felt the dentist touch her teeth with the tool. She did not feel any pain, only a tickle. + +"You are doing great, Lily. Guess what? You have no cavities. Your teeth are very healthy and clean. You must brush them every day and eat good food. Do you want a sticker for being such a good patient?" the dentist said, putting away the tool and the mirror. + +Lily opened her eyes and smiled. She was not fearful anymore. She liked the dentist. She said, "Yes, please. Can I have a pink one?" + +"Of course, you can. Here you go. You can put it on your shirt or your hand. You are a star, Lily. I'm proud of you. See you next time, okay?" the dentist said, giving her a pink sticker and a high five. + +Lily put the sticker on her hand and gave the dentist a hug. She said, "Thank you, Dr. Lee. You are nice. See you next time." + +She took her mother's hand and walked out of the office. She was happy and proud. She showed her sticker to everyone she met. She had no fear of the big chair anymore. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big hill with many leaves. They wanted to roll down the hill. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Anna said. "It looks fun!" + +"OK, Anna!" Tom said. "But be careful. The hill is steep." + +They ran to the hill and started to roll. They felt the wind and the leaves on their faces. They laughed and shouted. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they saw a boy at the bottom of the hill. He was holding a stick. He looked angry. He did not like Tom and Anna. He was rude. + +"Hey, you!" the boy said. "Stop rolling on my hill! This is my hill! Go away!" + +He waved his stick at Tom and Anna. He tried to hit them. Tom and Anna were scared. They tried to stop rolling. But they could not. They were going too fast. + +They realized they were in trouble. They realized they could not avoid the boy. They realized they were going to fall. + +They closed their eyes and waited for the fall. They hoped the boy would not hurt them. They hoped someone would help them. They hoped the fall would not be too bad. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Me first!" says Anna. She runs to the slide. + +"No, me first!" says Ben. He runs after Anna. + +They get to the slide at the same time. They both try to climb up. They push and pull each other. + +"Stop!" says a voice. It is Mom. She comes to the slide. "You have to share. That is fair." + +She helps Anna and Ben to balance on the slide. They sit next to each other. They hold hands. + +"Ready?" says Mom. "One, two, three, go!" + +Anna and Ben slide down. They laugh and scream. They feel the wind in their hair. They see the trees and the sky. They have fun. + +They get to the bottom of the slide. They hug Mom. + +"Thank you, Mom!" they say. + +"You're welcome, my loves!" says Mom. "Do you want to go again?" + +"Yes, please!" say Anna and Ben. + +They run to the slide again. They take turns. They are fair. They are happy. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were going on a big trip with their mom and dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and toys and got in the car. Mom and dad told them they needed something very important to go on the plane. It was called a passport. A passport was a small book with their names and pictures in it. It showed where they came from and where they could go. + +"Can I see my passport, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, sweetie, here you go. But be very careful with it. It is very valuable. That means it is very special and we need it to travel. If we lose it, we can't go on the plane," mom said. + +"I will be very careful, mom. I will hold it tight and not let go," Lily said. She looked at her passport and smiled. She liked her picture and the stamps on it. + +Ben wanted to see his passport too. He asked dad for it. Dad gave it to him and told him the same thing as mom. Ben looked at his passport and frowned. He didn't like his picture. He thought he looked funny. + +"I don't like my passport, dad. Can I have a new one?" Ben asked. + +"No, buddy, you can't. This is your passport and you have to keep it. It is valuable too. It doesn't matter if you don't like your picture. What matters is that it shows who you are and where you can go," dad said. + +"But I want a new one. A better one. A bigger one. An enormous one," Ben said. He threw his passport on the floor and started to cry. + +Lily saw what Ben did and gasped. She ran to pick up his passport and gave it back to dad. She was scared that someone would take it or step on it. + +"Ben, you can't do that. You can't throw your passport away. It is valuable. Mom and dad said so. If you don't have it, you can't go on the big trip with us. You don't want to miss the big trip, do you?" Lily said. + +Ben stopped crying and looked at Lily. He saw that she was right. He didn't want to miss the big trip. He wanted to go on the plane and see new things and have fun. He took his passport from dad and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I will keep my passport and be careful with it. It is valuable. I want to go on the big trip with you," Ben said. + +Mom and dad smiled and hugged Lily and Ben. They were proud of them for learning a new word and a new lesson. They told them they loved them and they were ready to go. They got out of the car and walked to the airport. They showed their passports to the people there and got on the plane. They were happy and excited. They were going on a big trip. +Lila and Ben are playing with cars on the floor. Lila has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They make loud noises as they zoom their cars around. + +"Let's race!" Ben says. He puts his car at one end of the rug and Lila puts hers at the other end. "Ready, set, go!" + +They push their cars as fast as they can. Ben's car goes straight, but Lila's car goes zigzag. It bumps into a chair, a book, and a toy box. + +"Hey, stop!" Ben says. "You're cheating! You have to go straight!" + +"No, I'm not!" Lila says. "I like zigzag. It's more fun!" + +They argue and shout. They both want to win the race. They both insist that they are right. + +Mom hears the loud noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the cars and the mess on the floor. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "Why are you fighting?" + +Lila and Ben tell her their problem. Mom listens and smiles. + +"I have an idea," she says. "Why don't you take turns? One time, you can race straight, and the next time, you can race zigzag. That way, you can both have fun and be fair." + +Lila and Ben think about it. They agree to try Mom's idea. They say sorry to each other and hug. They pick up their cars and start a new race. + +"Ready, set, go!" they say together. They make loud noises as they zoom their cars around. They are happy and they are friends. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to watch television with their mom and dad. They have a big television in the living room. It has many colors and sounds. + +One day, Sara and Ben see a jolly man on the television. He has a red suit and a white beard. He laughs a lot and says "Ho ho ho". He has a big bag of toys. Sara and Ben want to see what toys he has. + +They point to the television and say "Mom, dad, look! It's Santa! He has toys for us! Can we have some?" + +Mom and dad smile and hug Sara and Ben. They say "Yes, sweeties, it's Santa. He is very kind and generous. He brings toys to good children on Christmas. But you have to wait until Christmas to open them. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben nod and say "Yes, mom, dad, we can wait. We are good children. We love Santa. And we love you too!" + +They watch the television together and see Santa fly away with his reindeer. They clap and cheer. They are very happy and excited. They can't wait for Christmas. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, but their favorite was the chicken coop. They loved to watch the chickens peck and cluck and flap their wings. + +One day, they decided to be adventurous and go inside the coop. They opened the door and stepped in, but they did not see the big rooster who was guarding the hens. The rooster saw them and got angry. He crowed loudly and ran towards them, ready to peck them with his sharp beak. + +Anna and Ben were scared and ran out of the coop, but the rooster followed them. They shouted for help, but no one heard them. They looked for a place to hide, but the rooster was faster. He was almost catching them, when they saw a big tree. They climbed the tree as fast as they could and remained there, hoping the rooster would go away. + +"Are you okay, Anna?" Ben asked, holding his sister's hand. + +"I'm okay, Ben. But I don't like the rooster. He is mean and scary." Anna said, trembling. + +"Me too. I wish mom or dad would come and save us." Ben said, looking around. + +They waited and waited, but no one came. The rooster was still under the tree, waiting for them to come down. He was not giving up. He kept crowing and scratching the ground. + +Anna and Ben felt hungry and thirsty and tired. They wished they had never gone inside the coop. They learned their lesson. They were not adventurous anymore. They just wanted to go home. +Sam and Mia were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving cars and trucks. Sometimes they saw big birds in the sky and tried to guess their names. + +"Look, look!" Mia shouted, pointing up. "Aeroplane!" + +Sam looked up and saw a shiny metal thing with wings and a tail. It made a loud noise as it flew over their heads. He wondered where it was going and who was inside. + +"Wow, aeroplane!" Sam said. "Do you think they can see us?" + +Mia nodded. "Maybe they can. Maybe they can wave to us. Wave, wave!" She waved her hand and smiled. + +Sam waved too, but he was not sure if the people in the aeroplane could see them. He wondered what it was like to be in an aeroplane. He wondered if it was fun or scary or boring. + +"Hey, kids!" A voice called from behind them. It was their dad, who had come to pick them up. He looked serious and had a big bag with him. + +"Hi, dad!" Sam and Mia said, running to him. They hugged him and showed him their toys. + +"Are you ready to go?" Dad asked. "We have a big surprise for you." + +"What is it, what is it?" Sam and Mia asked, curious and excited. + +Dad smiled and opened his bag. He took out two tickets and showed them to the kids. + +"We are going on an aeroplane!" He said. "We are going to visit grandma and grandpa in another place. They miss you a lot and want to see you." + +Sam and Mia gasped. They could not believe it. They were going on an aeroplane! They wondered what it would be like. They wondered if they would see the big birds and the clouds and the stars. They wondered if grandma and grandpa would have toys and cookies for them. + +They hugged dad again and thanked him. They packed their toys and followed him to the car. They were happy and nervous and eager. They were going on an aeroplane! +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They are happy. + +But then a big dog comes. He is bald and mean. He barks at Tom and Sam. He runs to the snowman. He bites the hat and the scarf. He pulls the carrot nose and the coal eyes. He makes the snowman fall. Tom and Sam are sad. + +They kneel by the snowman. They try to fix him. But he is too broken. They cry. The dog laughs. He is bad. + +Then a man comes. He is bald and nice. He sees the dog and the snowman. He sees Tom and Sam. He is angry. He shouts at the dog. He chases him away. He helps Tom and Sam. He gives them a new hat and a scarf. He gives them a new carrot and two new coals. He helps them make a new snowman. He is good. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They thank the man. They hug the snowman. They play in the snow. They are friends. +Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play in the river. One day, they see a kayak. It is big and red. They want to have the kayak. + +"Can we have the kayak?" Lila asks Sam. + +"I don't know. Maybe it belongs to someone," Sam says. + +"Let's ask the man over there. He has a boat," Lila says. + +They run to the man. He is fishing. He is kind. + +"Hello, children. What can I do for you?" he asks. + +"Hello, sir. Can we have the kayak?" Lila asks. + +"The kayak? No, you can't have the kayak. It is not mine. It is wild," he says. + +"Wild? What does that mean?" Sam asks. + +"It means that the kayak is not tame. It does not listen to anyone. It goes where it wants. It is dangerous," he says. + +"Dangerous? How?" Lila asks. + +"It can tip over. It can hit rocks. It can go too fast. It can hurt you," he says. + +"Oh, no. We don't want to get hurt. We don't want the kayak anymore," Sam says. + +"Good. That is wise. You should play with safe things. Like this ball. Do you want to play with the ball?" he asks. + +"Yes, please. Thank you, sir. You are nice," Lila says. + +They take the ball. They play with the ball. They have fun. They are happy. + +The moral of the story is: Don't take things that are not yours. Don't play with things that are dangerous. Listen to people who know better. Be grateful for what you have. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play at the beach. They made sand castles, dug holes and collected shells. One day, they found a big red crab on the shore. Tim wanted to keep it as a pet, but Sam wanted to eat it for lunch. They disagreed and started to fight. + +Tim said, "The crab is mine. I saw it first. It is cute and funny. I will name it Bob and give it a home in a bucket." + +Sam said, "The crab is mine. You are silly. It is not cute or funny. It is delicious and juicy. I will cook it in a pot and put some butter on it." + +They pulled and pushed the crab, but it was very strong and angry. It snapped its claws and bit their fingers. Tim and Sam screamed and let go of the crab. The crab ran away and hid under a rock. + +Tim and Sam were sad and hurt. They had no pet and no lunch. They had no fun and no friends. They wished they had not disagreed and shared the crab. But it was too late. The crab was gone and so was their happy day. +Ben and Lily liked to play near the river. They made boats from sticks and leaves and watched them float. Sometimes they crossed the bridge to the other side, where there were more flowers and birds. + +One day, they saw a big dog on the bridge. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It barked at them and made them scared. They wanted to go back to their side, but the dog was in the way. + +Ben had an idea. He picked up a stick and threw it far away. The dog ran after it, leaving the bridge empty. Ben and Lily ran across the bridge as fast as they could. They were safe. + +They hugged each other and thanked Ben for his smart plan. They decided to be more careful next time. They were compassionate and hoped the dog would find a good home. They also hoped it would not come back to the bridge. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big mirror on the wall. + +One day, Sara finds a jar of glitter in the closet. She opens it and sees many shiny bits. She thinks they are cool. She wants to make the mirror more cool. She takes the jar and goes to the mirror. + +"Look, Ben, I have glitter!" she says. "I can spread it on the mirror and make it sparkle!" + +Ben looks at the jar and the mirror. He does not think it is a good idea. He knows that mom and dad will be mad if they see the mess. + +"No, Sara, don't do that!" he says. "The glitter will stick to the mirror and the wall. It will be hard to clean. Mom and dad will be upset. Put the jar back in the closet." + +But Sara does not listen. She likes the glitter too much. She dips her hand in the jar and sprinkles the glitter on the mirror. She smiles and claps. She thinks the mirror is very cool now. + +"Wow, look how it shines!" she says. "It is like a fairy tale!" + +Ben shakes his head. He knows they are in trouble. He tries to stop Sara, but it is too late. The glitter is everywhere. It is on the mirror, the wall, the floor, the bed, and their clothes. It is even in their hair. + +They hear mom and dad coming up the stairs. They look at each other and gulp. They know they have to say sorry. They hope mom and dad will not be too angry. They wish they had not played with the glitter. +Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, Sara had a new pack of gum. She opened it and took out a piece. She smelled it and smiled. It was grape, her favorite. + +"Can I have some gum, please?" Tom asked. He liked gum too, but he did not have any. + +Sara looked at him and shrugged. "No, this is mine. You can't have any. Go find your own gum," she said. She put the gum in her mouth and chewed. + +Tom felt sad and angry. He thought Sara was not a good friend. He wanted to have some gum too. He looked around and saw a piece of gum on the ground. It was dirty and old, but he did not care. He picked it up and put it in his mouth. + +"Look, I have gum too," he said. He tried to chew, but the gum was hard and sticky. It tasted bad and made his teeth hurt. He spat it out and made a face. + +Sara saw him and laughed. "That's not gum, that's trash. You're silly, Tom. You should have asked me nicely. I would have given you some of my gum," she said. + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he made a mistake. He wished he had been more polite and patient. He looked at Sara and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. You're right. I was silly. Can we still be friends?" + +Sara smiled and nodded. She took out another piece of gum and gave it to Tom. "Of course we can. Here, have some of my gum. It's grape, it's great," she said. + +Tom took the gum and thanked Sara. He smelled it and smiled. It was grape, his favorite. He put the gum in his mouth and chewed. It was soft and sweet. He liked it a lot. + +Sara and Tom hugged and made up. They shared their gum and their toys. They were best friends again. +Sara and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a red wagon that they used to carry their toys and snacks. One day, they decided to go to the park and have a picnic. They put some bread, cheese, apples and water in the wagon and started to walk. + +On the way, they met a chubby cat who was sitting on a fence. The cat looked hungry and sad. Sara and Ben felt sorry for the cat and wanted to help. They stopped and said hello to the cat. + +"Hi, cat. What is your name?" Sara asked. + +"Meow. I am Tilly. I have no home and no food. I am very lonely," the cat said. + +"That is very sad, Tilly. We are going to the park for a picnic. Do you want to come with us? We have some bread and cheese and apples and water. You can share with us," Ben offered. + +"Really? You would do that for me? You are very kind, Sara and Ben. I would love to come with you. Thank you for your support," Tilly said. + +Sara and Ben smiled and helped Tilly get into the wagon. They continued to the park, chatting and laughing. They had a wonderful picnic and played with Tilly. They became good friends and decided to adopt Tilly as their pet. They took her home and gave her a warm bed and a collar. Tilly was very happy and grateful. She learned that sharing and caring are important values. She also learned that sometimes, a wagon can carry more than just things. It can carry love and friendship. +Tom and Lily are playing hide and seek in the park. Tom is the seeker and Lily is the hider. Lily runs to find a good space to hide. She sees a big bush with many leaves. She thinks it is a good space to hide. She goes inside the bush and waits for Tom to find her. + +Tom counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks around the park and tries to find Lily. He sees a swing, a slide, a bench, but no Lily. He wonders where she is. He walks towards the bush where Lily is hiding. He does not know she is there. + +Lily hears Tom coming closer. She is scared. She does not want him to find her. She thinks he will laugh at her or tag her. She covers her mouth with her hand and tries to be quiet. She hopes he will go away. + +Tom reaches the bush and hears a small noise. He thinks it is a bird or a bug. He is curious. He moves the leaves and sees Lily. He says, "Aha! I found you, Lily! You are not a good hider!" + +Lily feels helpless. She is caught. She does not like it. She cries and says, "No, Tom, no! You are not fair! You are too good at this game! I don't want to play anymore!" + +Tom feels sorry for Lily. He did not mean to make her cry. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. Don't be sad. You are a good hider. I just got lucky. Do you want to be the seeker now? I will hide and you can find me." + +Lily stops crying and nods. She says, "Okay, Tom. I will be the seeker. But you have to hide in a different space. Not in the bush. That is my space." + +Tom agrees and runs to find a new space to hide. Lily counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She smiles and looks around the park. She thinks she will find Tom soon. She likes playing hide and seek with Tom. He is her friend. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to gaze at the sky and look for shapes in the clouds. + +One day, they saw a big, fluffy cloud that looked like a bear. "Wow, look at that bear!" Lily said. "It's so big and soft. I wish I could hug it." + +"Maybe you can," Max said. "If you make a promise, maybe the bear will come down and hug you." + +"What kind of promise?" Lily asked. + +"A promise to be kind and generous to everyone," Max said. "Like sharing your toys and helping your mom and dad. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded. She closed her eyes and said, "I promise to be kind and generous to everyone. Please, Mr. Bear, come down and hug me." + +They opened their eyes and waited. Nothing happened. The cloud bear stayed in the sky. Lily felt sad. She thought the promise didn't work. + +"Don't be sad, Lily," Max said. "Maybe the bear is shy. Maybe he needs some time. Maybe he will come tomorrow. Or maybe he will send you a gift instead." + +Lily smiled. She hoped Max was right. She hugged Max and said, "Thank you, Max. You are a good friend. You are kind and generous to me." + +They went home and said goodbye. They looked forward to seeing each other and the cloud bear again. + +The next day, Lily and Max met at the park. They ran to the swings and looked at the sky. They saw the cloud bear again. But this time, he was not alone. He had a baby bear with him. The baby bear was smaller and cuter. He looked like he wanted to play. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Max said. "The bear came back. And he brought his baby. He heard your promise. He gave you a gift. He gave you a friend." + +Lily was amazed. She felt happy. She waved at the cloud bears and said, "Hello, Mr. Bear. Hello, baby bear. Thank you for your gift. You are kind and generous to me." + +The cloud bears waved back. They smiled and winked. They looked like they were happy too. + +Lily and Max gazed at the cloud bears and smiled. They felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in their hearts. They knew they had made a special connection. They knew they had kept their promise. +Lila and her mom went to the shop. Lila wanted to buy a new blouse. She saw a pink blouse with flowers. She liked it very much. + +"Mom, can I have this blouse?" Lila asked. + +"Let me see, honey," her mom said. She looked at the price tag. "Oh, this blouse is too expensive. We can't buy it today." + +Lila was sad. She really wanted the pink blouse. She saw a bald man holding a blue blouse. He smiled at her. + +"Hello, little girl. Do you like this blouse?" he asked. + +Lila nodded. She liked the blue blouse too. It had stars on it. + +"This blouse is very pretty. And it's on sale. Do you want to try it on?" the bald man said. + +Lila looked at her mom. Her mom nodded. She was happy. The bald man helped Lila put on the blue blouse. It fit her well. + +"You look lovely, Lila. Do you want to buy this blouse?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lila said. + +Her mom paid the bald man. He gave her a receipt and a bag. He thanked them and wished them a good day. + +Lila hugged her mom. She was very happy. She had a new blouse. She thanked the bald man too. She waved at him as they left the shop. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. But today, they are very tired. They want to nap. + +"Can we nap on your bed?" Mia asks Tom. + +"Yes, we can. But we need to zip the bag first," Tom says. + +They have a big bag with many toys. They put the toys inside the bag and zip it. Zip, zip, zip. The bag is closed. + +They go to Tom's bed. It is small, but cozy. They climb on the bed and lie down. They cover themselves with a soft blanket. + +"Good night, Tom," Mia says. + +"Good night, Mia," Tom says. + +They close their eyes and nap. They dream of more toys and books. They are happy. +Ben was a stubborn boy. He did not like to do what his mom and dad said. He liked to play outside and get dirty. One day, he saw a big hole in the ground. He wanted to see what was inside. He did not listen to his mom, who told him to stay away from the hole. + +He ran to the hole and looked down. It was very dark and deep. He could not see anything. He heard a loud growl. He felt something grab his leg. He was scared. He screamed for his mom. + +His mom heard him and ran to the hole. She saw a big furry animal with sharp teeth. It was a bear. The bear had Ben's leg in its mouth. She was brave. She grabbed a stick and hit the bear. The bear let go of Ben and ran away. + +She pulled Ben out of the hole. He was hurt and bleeding. He was also trembling. He was cold and sorry. He hugged his mom and said he was sorry. He said he would listen to her from now on. She hugged him back and said she loved him. She took him home and cleaned his wound. She gave him a band-aid and a cookie. She told him to be careful and not to be stubborn. He nodded and smiled. He learned his lesson. +Anna and Ben were going on a journey with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. Anna was very excited. She wanted to see the animals at the zoo. Ben was thoughtful. He brought his favorite book and a snack to share with Anna. + +The car drove for a long time. Anna and Ben looked out the window and saw trees, houses, and cows. They sang songs and played games. Mom and Dad smiled and said they were good kids. + +But then the car made a loud noise and stopped. Mom and Dad looked worried. They said the car was broken and they had to wait for help. Anna and Ben felt sad. They wanted to go to the zoo. They did not want to spoil their journey. + +Mom and Dad tried to cheer them up. They said they could have a picnic on the grass. They took out some sandwiches, apples, and cookies. They spread a blanket and sat down. Anna and Ben ate their food and drank some water. They felt a little better. + +Then they saw a big truck coming. It was the help. The truck driver was friendly. He said he could fix the car. He asked Anna and Ben if they liked animals. They said yes. He said he had a surprise for them. He opened the back of the truck and showed them a cage. Inside the cage was a monkey. The monkey was cute and funny. It made noises and faces. Anna and Ben laughed and clapped. They thanked the truck driver. He said he was glad to make them happy. + +The truck driver fixed the car. Mom and Dad thanked him too. They said they could still go to the zoo. They packed their things and got in the car. Anna and Ben were very happy. They said their journey was not spoiled. It was the best journey ever. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the sea. They saw a big whale who was jolly and kind. The whale let them ride on his back and splash in the water. Tom and Sam had a lot of fun with the whale. + +One day, Tom had an idea. He wanted to borrow the whale and take him home. He told Sam to help him. They found a big net and threw it over the whale. The whale was scared and sad. He tried to break free, but the net was too strong. + +Tom and Sam dragged the whale to the shore. They wanted to put him in a big truck and drive him away. But the whale was too heavy and too big. They could not lift him or move him. The whale could not breathe or swim. He started to cry and moan. + +Some people saw what Tom and Sam did. They were angry and shocked. They called the police and the animal helpers. They came and freed the whale from the net. They gave him water and medicine. They put him back in the sea. The whale was happy and grateful. He waved his tail and said goodbye. + +Tom and Sam were in trouble. The police and the people scolded them and punished them. They had to pay a lot of money and do a lot of work. They had to learn how to be kind and respectful to animals. They lost their friend, the whale. They were sorry and ashamed. They never borrowed anything again. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make pretend stories with their dolls and cars. Sometimes they made funny noises and laughed a lot. + +Mother was in the kitchen, making dinner. She was happy to see her children having fun, but she was also tired and hungry. She wanted to finish cooking and sit down with them. + +"Ben, Lily, dinner is ready!" she called. "Please put away your toys and come to the table." + +Ben and Lily heard Mother, but they did not want to stop playing. They had one more story to make. They pretended that their dolls and cars were going on a trip to the moon. + +"Vroom, vroom, we are going to the moon!" Ben said, making his car fly in the air. + +"Wow, the moon is so big and bright!" Lily said, making her doll look out the window. + +They did not hear Mother calling them again. They did not see Mother coming into the living room. They did not notice Mother's face getting angry. + +"Ben, Lily, I said dinner is ready!" Mother said, raising her voice. "How many times do I have to tell you? Put away your toys now!" + +Ben and Lily looked at Mother. They saw that she was not happy. They felt uncomfortable. They knew they had made a mistake. + +"Sorry, Mother," they said together. "We were just playing." + +They quickly put away their toys and followed Mother to the kitchen. They said sorry again and gave her a hug. They hoped that Mother would not be mad at them anymore. + +Mother sighed and smiled. She was not mad, but she was still tired and hungry. She hoped that Ben and Lily would listen to her better next time. She hugged them back and said, "It's okay, I love you. But please, next time, when I call you, come right away. Okay?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mother. We love you too." + +They sat down at the table and ate their dinner. They told Mother about their pretend stories and made her laugh. They made her happy again. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big well with a bucket and a rope. They want to look inside the well. + +"Can we see the water?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. + +They run to the well and pull the rope. The bucket comes up. It is empty. + +"Where is the water?" Ben wonders. + +"Maybe it is very deep. Let's drop a rock and listen." Anna suggests. + +She picks up a small rock and throws it into the well. They hear a splash. + +"Did you hear that?" Anna says. + +"Yes, I did. The water is there, but it is very dark." Ben says. + +They lean over the well and try to see the water. But it is too dark. They cannot see anything. + +"Be careful, don't fall!" Anna warns. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing? Come away from the well!" she shouts. + +She runs to them and grabs their hands. She pulls them away from the well. + +"That is dangerous! You could fall and hurt yourself! The well is not a toy!" she scolds. + +"Sorry, mom. We were curious." Anna says. + +"We wanted to see the water." Ben says. + +"I know, but the well is not safe. You can see the water in the pond or the tap. Come on, let's go inside and have a snack." mom says. + +She leads them to the house. They leave the well behind. They are still curious, but they know they have to listen to mom. +Lily did not like broccoli. She said it was yucky and green. She always tried to hide it under her plate or give it to her dog. But her mom knew her tricks and said she had to eat it if she wanted dessert. + +One day, mom made a big pot of soup for dinner. She said it was good for them and had many things inside. Lily smelled the soup and thought it smelled nice. She saw carrots and potatoes and chicken. She did not see any broccoli. + +She took a big spoon of soup and put it in her mouth. It was warm and tasty. She smiled and said, "Mmm, this is good, mom!" But then she felt something crunchy and bitter. She spit it out and saw a small piece of broccoli. She was upset and said, "Ew, mom, why did you put broccoli in the soup? I hate broccoli!" + +Mom looked at her and said, "Lily, I told you broccoli is good for you. It has vitamins and minerals that make you strong and healthy. You can't just eat what you like. You have to eat what is good for you. And you have to be polite and not spit out your food. That is rude and wasteful." + +Lily did not want to hear mom. She crossed her arms and pouted. She said, "No, I don't want to eat broccoli. I want dessert. I want ice cream." Mom shook her head and said, "No, Lily, you can't have dessert until you finish your soup. And you have to eat at least three pieces of broccoli. That is the rule." + +Lily did not like the rule. She thought it was unfair and mean. She said, "No, no, no!" and pushed her bowl away. She started to cry and scream. She said, "I hate broccoli! I hate soup! I hate you, mom!" + +Mom was sad and angry. She said, "Lily, stop it right now. You are being very naughty and rude. You have to calm down and settle. If you don't, you will go to your room and have no dessert and no TV and no toys. Do you understand?" + +Lily did not want to go to her room. She did not want to lose her dessert and her TV and her toys. She looked at mom and saw she was serious. She knew she had to do what mom said. She sniffed and wiped her tears. She said, "Sorry, mom. I will try to eat the broccoli. But I don't like it." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's okay, Lily. I know you don't like it. But I'm proud of you for trying. Maybe one day you will like it. But for now, just eat a little bit and then you can have dessert. And I love you, Lily. Even when you are upset." + +Lily nodded and said, "I love you too, mom. Even when you make broccoli." She picked up her spoon and ate a small piece of broccoli. She made a face and said, "Blech!" But she swallowed it and ate another one. She hoped dessert would be good. She hoped it would be ice cream. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. But they did not like to share. Lily wanted the big dish and Tom wanted the small dish. They both reached for the dish at the same time and pulled hard. + +"Let go, it's mine!" Lily shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom shouted back. + +They pulled and pulled until the dish broke in half. They heard a loud crash and saw the pieces on the floor. They felt scared and sad. They knew they had done something bad. + +Mom came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She was not happy. She asked them what happened. Lily and Tom told her the truth. They said they were sorry. + +Mom sighed and said, "I'm glad you are sorry, but you need to learn to share and be kind. The dish was not yours or mine, it was ours. We use it to eat together as a family. When you fight over things, you can break them and hurt each other. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They felt sorry for Mom and for the dish. They hugged Mom and said they would share and be kind from now on. Mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now let's clean up this mess and then we can have some cookies. But first, can you give me a calm kiss?" + +Lily and Tom gave Mom a calm kiss and helped her clean up. They learned their lesson and played nicely after that. They never fought over the dish again. +Tom and Lily are playing pirates. They have a big box that is their chest. They put their toys and books in the chest. They want to hide the chest from the bad pirates. + +They look for a good place to hide the chest. They see a big tree in the yard. They think the tree is a good place. They drag the chest to the tree. They dig a hole under the tree. They put the chest in the hole. They cover the chest with dirt and leaves. + +They are happy. They think the bad pirates will not find the chest. They go back to the house. They get some hats and swords. They are ready to fight the bad pirates. They run to the tree. They pretend to see the bad pirates. They shout and swing their swords. They have fun. They are brave pirates. +Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they wanted to play something new. They saw a big wardrobe in the corner. It had a door and a handle. + +"Let's try to open it," Anna said. "Maybe there is something fun inside." + +"OK," Ben said. He walked to the wardrobe and pulled the handle. The door opened a little bit. He saw some clothes and shoes. + +"Is there anything else?" Anna asked. She joined Ben and looked inside. + +"I don't know," Ben said. He pushed the clothes aside and saw a dark hole. "Look, there is a hole. Maybe it leads to another place." + +"Another place?" Anna said. She felt curious and scared. "Where do you think it goes?" + +"Let's find out," Ben said. He grabbed Anna's hand and stepped into the hole. The wardrobe door closed behind them. + +They walked in the dark for a long time. They felt cold and tired. They could not see anything. + +"Ben, I don't like this place," Anna said. "I want to go back." + +"Me too," Ben said. "But I don't know how. Maybe we are lost." + +They started to cry. They wished they had not tried to open the wardrobe. They wished they had stayed in their room and played with their toys. They wished someone would find them and help them. +Sara loved to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She liked to make everything neat and pretty. + +One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play. He saw Sara's boxes and shelf and thought they looked fun. He grabbed some dolls and cars and threw them on the floor. He mixed up the books and made a mess. + +Sara was very angry. She shouted at Tom, "Stop it! You are ruining my toys! Go away!" + +Tom did not listen. He laughed and said, "No, I want to play. Your toys are silly. You are silly." + +Sara felt miserable. She did not want to play with Tom. She wanted to organize her toys again. She started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the mess and the tears. She asked, "What is going on here?" + +Sara pointed at Tom and said, "He did it! He messed up my toys! He is mean!" + +Tom said, "She did it! She yelled at me! She is mean!" + +Mom sighed. She said, "Both of you are wrong. You need to share and be nice to each other. Sara, you can organize your toys later. Tom, you can play with some toys, but you have to ask first and put them back. How about we sing a song together to calm down?" + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They did not want to fight anymore. They nodded and said, "Okay." + +Mom smiled and said, "Good. Let's sing a song. How about 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'?" + +Sara and Tom liked that song. They joined Mom and sang along. They felt better and happier. They learned to respect each other's toys and feelings. They decided to organize and play together. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big hole in the fence. They want to see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go through the hole," says Tim. He is brave and curious. + +"No, we can't," says Sam. He is scared and careful. "Mum and Dad said we have to stay in the garden. The hole is not useful. It is bad." + +Tim refuses to listen to Sam. He crawls through the hole. He sees a big dog in the other garden. The dog is angry and loud. It barks and runs towards Tim. + +"Help, help!" Tim cries. He is afraid and sorry. He tries to go back through the hole, but the dog is faster. + +Sam hears Tim's cry. He loves his brother. He grabs a stick from the ground. He runs through the hole. He waves the stick at the dog. The dog is scared and quiet. It runs away. + +Sam helps Tim through the hole. They hug each other. They are happy and safe. + +"Thank you, Sam," says Tim. "You are brave and kind. You are useful. I am sorry I did not listen to you." + +"It's okay, Tim," says Sam. "I am glad you are okay. Let's go back to our garden. And let's never go through the hole again." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They had a network of roads and bridges made of blocks and cardboard. They liked to make their cars zoom and honk on the network. + +But then Ben got bored. He wanted to play something else. He was impatient. He said to Lily, "This is no fun. Let's play catch with the ball." + +Lily did not want to play catch. She liked the network. She said to Ben, "No, I want to play with the cars. You can play catch by yourself." + +Ben was angry. He did not like Lily's answer. He grabbed the ball and threw it at the network. He wanted to break it. He said, "Take that, stupid network!" + +The ball hit the network and knocked down some blocks and bridges. The network was ruined. Lily was sad. She cried. She said, "Ben, you are mean! You broke my network!" + +Ben felt sorry. He saw that he made Lily cry. He did not want to make her cry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have thrown the ball. Can we fix the network?" + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She said, "OK, Ben. We can fix the network. But next time, ask me nicely if you want to play something else." + +Ben nodded. He said, "OK, Lily. I will ask you nicely. And maybe we can play catch later." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Maybe we can. But first, let's fix the network." + +They hugged and started to fix the network. They were friends again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They share a room. They like to play with their toys and books in their room. But sometimes they fight and complain. + +One day, Lily wants to play with the doll house. Ben wants to play with the cars. They both want to play on the rug. They start to yell and pull the toys. + +"Stop it! That's my doll house!" Lily says. + +"No, it's mine! You have the dolls!" Ben says. + +They make a lot of noise. Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She has a serious face. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. + +"Lily and Ben are fighting and complaining!" they both say. + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "You need to learn to share and take turns. Fighting and complaining are not nice. You have a lot of toys and a big room. You should be grateful and kind to each other." + +She tells them to put away the toys they are not using. She tells them to say sorry to each other. She tells them to hug and make up. + +Lily and Ben feel bad. They know Mom is right. They say sorry and hug. They decide to play together. They take turns with the doll house and the cars. They have fun and laugh. + +Mom smiles and says, "That's better. I'm proud of you. Now you are being good twins." She gives them a kiss and leaves them to play. Lily and Ben are happy. They love their room and their toys. But they love each other more. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. Sara saw a big gate at the end of the garden. She wanted to see what was behind it. + +"Ben, come with me. Let's go to the gate," she said. + +"OK, Sara. But be careful. The gate is old and rusty," Ben said. + +They ran to the gate and pushed it open. Behind the gate, there was a pond with some ducks and frogs. Sara and Ben were happy. They wanted to feed the ducks and touch the frogs. + +They went closer to the pond and threw some bread to the ducks. The ducks quacked and ate the bread. Sara saw a green frog on a rock. She reached out her hand to touch it. + +But the frog was scared and jumped away. Sara lost her balance and fell into the pond. She got very wet and cold. She cried out loud. + +"Help, Ben! Help! I'm wet and cold!" + +Ben heard Sara and ran to the pond. He saw Sara in the water and pulled her out. He hugged her and said, + +"Don't cry, Sara. You're OK. I'm here. Let's go back to the house. Mom will dry you and heal you." + +Sara nodded and stopped crying. She was glad that Ben was her brother. He was kind and brave. They walked back to the house, holding hands. They left the gate open. The ducks and frogs were happy too. They had some bread and some peace. +Tim and Kim were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big bin near the bench. It was full of rubbish. Tim had an idea. + +"Let's play hide and seek. You hide behind the bin and I count to ten. Then I look for you," he said to Kim. + +Kim nodded. She ran behind the bin and crouched down. Tim closed his eyes and counted. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!" + +Tim opened his eyes and looked around. He saw the bin and smiled. He walked towards it and said, "I know where you are, Kim. You are behind the bin. I will find you." + +But when he reached the bin, he saw something else. It was a big, black, furry rat. It had red eyes and sharp teeth. It was eating a banana peel. It saw Tim and hissed. + +Tim was scared. He jumped back and shouted, "Aaaah! A rat! A rat! Help! Help!" + +Kim heard Tim shout. She peeked from behind the bin and saw the rat too. She was scared too. She screamed, "Aaaah! A rat! A rat! Help! Help!" + +The rat was scared too. It dropped the banana peel and ran away. It disappeared into a hole. + +Tim and Kim ran away too. They ran to the bench where their mum was sitting. They hugged her and told her what they saw. + +"It was a big, black, furry rat. It was disgusting. It was behind the bin. It hissed at us. We shouted and it ran away," they said. + +Their mum hugged them and said, "Oh, you poor things. That must have been scary. But you are safe now. The rat is gone. Let's go home and have some cookies. And next time, don't hide behind the bin. It is dirty and smelly and full of rubbish. And rats." +Lily and her mom went to the subway to go to the park. Lily liked the subway. It was fast and loud and had many colors. She saw a big map on the wall. It had many lines and dots and names. She wanted to look at it more. + +"Mom, can I see the map?" she asked. + +"Sure, honey, but stay close to me. The subway will come soon," her mom said. + +Lily ran to the map and pointed at the dots. She tried to say the names. She saw a red dot that said "Park". She smiled. She liked the park. She heard a beep and a voice. + +"Next stop, Park. Please stand clear of the doors." + +Lily turned around and saw the subway. It was shiny and clean. It had big doors and windows. She wanted to go inside. She ran to the subway. + +"Mom, mom, come on!" she shouted. + +But her mom was not there. Lily looked around. She saw many people, but not her mom. She felt scared. She forgot to stay close to her mom. She forgot to listen to her mom. She started to cry. + +"Mom, where are you?" she sobbed. + +A nice lady saw Lily crying. She came to her and knelt down. + +"Hi, sweetie, what's wrong?" she asked. + +"I can't find my mom. I forgot to stay with her. I want my mom," Lily said. + +"Don't worry, we'll find your mom. What's her name?" the lady asked. + +"Her name is Mom," Lily said. + +The lady smiled. She took Lily's hand and walked to a man in a blue uniform. He had a badge and a walkie-talkie. He was a subway worker. + +"Excuse me, sir, this little girl lost her mom. Can you help us?" the lady asked. + +"Of course, ma'am. What's your mom's name, sweetie?" the subway worker asked. + +"Her name is Mom," Lily repeated. + +The subway worker nodded. He spoke into his walkie-talkie. + +"Attention, all subway staff. We have a lost child at the Park station. She is wearing a pink dress and a yellow hat. Her mom's name is Mom. Please look for her and contact me. Thank you." + +He turned to Lily and the lady. + +"Don't worry, we'll find your mom soon. She must be looking for you too. Let's wait here until she comes. Do you want a sticker?" he asked. + +He gave Lily a sticker with a subway on it. Lily smiled a little. She liked stickers. She thanked the subway worker and the lady. She hoped her mom would come soon. She missed her mom. She was sorry she forgot to stay with her mom. She learned to listen to her mom. She hugged the lady's hand and waited. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with a ball in the park. The park is near the city. The city is big and loud. Tom and Sam do not like the city. + +One day, Tom and Sam see a new boy in the park. He has a red ball. He kicks the ball very hard. He kicks the ball to Tom and Sam. He says, "Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom and Sam are happy. They say, "Yes, we want to play with you. What is your name?" + +The new boy says, "My name is Ben. I live in the city. The city is harsh. There are many cars and people. They are noisy and mean. I do not like the city." + +Tom and Sam feel sorry for Ben. They say, "We do not like the city either. The park is nice. There are trees and flowers. They are green and pretty. We like the park." + +Ben smiles. He says, "I like the park too. Can we be friends?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, we can be friends. Let's play with the ball." + +They kick the ball to each other. They laugh and have fun. They forget about the city. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big yellow flower near the fence. Lily wanted to pick it for her mom. + +"Look, Tom, a yellow flower! It is so pretty!" Lily said. + +Tom nodded. He liked yellow too. He followed Lily to the fence. But when they got closer, they saw a big bee on the flower. It was buzzing and moving its wings. + +"Uh-oh, a bee!" Tom said. He was scared of bees. He ran away from the fence. + +Lily stopped. She was scared too. But she wanted the flower. She thought of her mom. She loved her mom. She wanted to make her mom happy. + +She took a deep breath. She was brave. She said to the bee, "Please, bee, can I have the flower? I want to give it to my mom. She is sick and needs a smile." + +The bee heard Lily. It looked at her. It saw that she was not mean. It saw that she was kind. It liked kind people. It decided to change. It flew away from the flower. It said to Lily, "Okay, you can have the flower. But be careful. Don't hurt it. It is alive too." + +Lily smiled. She thanked the bee. She gently picked the flower. She ran to Tom. She showed him the flower. She said, "Look, Tom, I got the flower! The bee was nice. It changed. It let me have it." + +Tom was amazed. He said, "Wow, Lily, you are so brave! You talked to the bee. You got the flower. You are awesome!" + +Lily and Tom hugged. They went back to the swings. They had fun. They were happy. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a red wagon that they took turns to pull. One day, they found a big hill near their house. They wanted to go down the hill with the wagon. + +"Let me go first," Lily said. "I am older than you." + +"No, I want to go first," Ben said. "You always go first." + +They both pulled the wagon and did not let go. They were selfish and did not share. + +A man was walking his dog near the hill. He saw Lily and Ben fighting over the wagon. He stopped and stared at them. He did not like what he saw. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" he asked. "Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Lily and Ben looked at the man. They felt ashamed. They knew they were wrong. + +"We are sorry, mister," Lily said. "We both wanted to go down the hill with the wagon." + +"Well, you can't go down the hill with the wagon if you don't share," the man said. "Why don't you take turns? One of you can pull the wagon up the hill, and the other can ride it down. Then you can switch. That way, you can both have fun and be fair." + +Lily and Ben thought that was a good idea. They agreed to take turns. They thanked the man and his dog. They smiled and hugged each other. They were not selfish anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with them. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Let's sort the blocks by color," Lily said. "I will take the red ones and you take the blue ones." + +"OK," Ben said. He liked to sort things. He thought it was fun. + +They started to sort the blocks into piles. Lily put all the red blocks on one side of the wall. Ben put all the blue blocks on the other side of the wall. They did not see each other. + +Soon, Lily ran out of red blocks. She looked around and saw a blue block on the floor. She wanted to have more blocks. She reached for the blue block. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Ben shouted. He saw Lily take his block. He was angry. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily shouted back. She did not want to give it back. She was greedy. + +They both pulled on the block. They did not let go. They started to fight. + +CRASH! + +The wall fell down. The blocks scattered everywhere. Lily and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at the mess. They felt guilty. + +They heard their mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. + +"Sorry, Ben," Lily said. + +"Sorry, Lily," Ben said. + +They hugged each other. They decided to share the blocks. They hoped their mom would not be too mad. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. They are popular in their class. Many children want to play with them. + +One day, it is Tom's birthday. He is very happy. He invites Mia and some other friends to his house. He has a big cake and balloons. He also has a gift from his mom and dad. + +Mia wants to give Tom a gift too. She gathers some flowers and leaves from the garden. She makes a crown with them. She thinks Tom will like it. + +She goes to Tom's house with her mom. She sees Tom and says, "Happy birthday, Tom! I have a gift for you." She gives him the crown. + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Mia! It is very pretty. I like it a lot." He puts the crown on his head. He looks like a king. + +Mia and Tom hug. They are happy. They play with the other children. They have a lot of fun. It is a good day. +Sam is a little boy who loves boats. He has many toy boats that he plays with in the bath and in the pool. He likes to pretend that he is a famous captain who sails to faraway lands and has many adventures. + +One day, Sam's dad takes him to the harbor to see the real boats. Sam is very excited and runs to the edge of the water. He sees big boats and small boats, boats with sails and boats with motors, boats with flags and boats with horns. He points to each one and asks his dad what they are called. + +"Look, dad, what is that?" Sam says, pointing to a metal object that hangs from a rope on the side of a boat. + +"That is an anchor, Sam," his dad says. "An anchor is used to keep the boat from moving when it stops in the water. It is very heavy and it sinks to the bottom of the water and holds the boat in place." + +"Wow, that is cool," Sam says. "Can I touch it?" + +"Sorry, Sam, you can't touch it. It is not safe. The anchor belongs to the boat and the boat belongs to someone else. We have to respect their property and stay away from it." + +Sam nods and looks for another boat to admire. He sees a boat that has a big sign that says "Famous Fisherman". He wonders what that means. + +"Dad, what is a famous fisherman?" Sam asks. + +"A famous fisherman is someone who catches a lot of fish and sells them to people who like to eat fish. He is famous because he is very good at his job and people know his name and his boat," his dad explains. + +"Does he use an anchor?" Sam asks. + +"Yes, he does, Sam. He uses an anchor when he finds a good spot to fish. He lowers the anchor into the water and waits for the fish to bite his hook. Then he pulls them up and puts them in a big basket. When he has enough fish, he raises the anchor and goes back to the harbor to sell them." + +"I want to be a famous fisherman, dad," Sam says. + +"Maybe you will be, Sam, when you grow up. But for now, you can be a famous captain of your toy boats. Come on, let's go home and play with them. I bet you have some great stories to tell me about your adventures." + +Sam smiles and takes his dad's hand. He is happy to have seen the real boats and learned about the anchor and the famous fisherman. He can't wait to wake up tomorrow and play with his toy boats again. He has a lot of fun with his dad and his imagination. +Tom and Lily liked to swim in the sea. They had a big boat with their dad and mom. They wore orange suits to keep warm and safe. They saw many fish and shells and plants under the water. They had fun. + +One day, Tom wanted to improve his swimming. He said to Lily, "I can swim faster and deeper than you. Watch me!" He swam away from the boat and Lily. He did not listen to his dad and mom who told him to stay close. + +Lily was scared. She said, "Tom, come back! It is not safe!" She saw a big shadow under the water. It was a shark. The shark had sharp teeth and a hungry mouth. It saw Tom and swam towards him. + +Tom saw the shark too. He was very afraid. He tried to swim back to the boat and Lily. But he was too slow. The shark caught him and bit him. Tom screamed and cried. Lily screamed and cried. Their dad and mom screamed and cried. + +The shark ate Tom and swam away. Lily, dad and mom were very sad. They wished they could have Tom back. They wished Tom had listened to them. They wished they had never gone to the sea. +Anna loved to play her violin. She liked the sound it made when she moved the stick on the strings. She felt happy and peaceful when she played. She wanted to show her mom and dad how well she could play. + +She waited for them to come home from work. She put her violin on the sofa and went to the kitchen to get a snack. She saw a big bowl of cookies on the table. She took one and ate it. It was yummy. She took another one and ate it. She did not hear the door open. + +"Anna, we're home!" her mom called. "Where are you?" + +Anna ran to the living room with a cookie in her hand. She wanted to hug her mom and dad and play her violin for them. But when she got there, she saw something terrible. Her little brother, Ben, had taken her violin and was hitting it on the floor. He was making loud noises and laughing. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna shouted. "That's my violin! You're breaking it!" + +She tried to grab it from him, but he was too strong. He pushed her away and kept hitting the violin. Anna started to cry. She was very sad and angry. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" her dad asked. He had heard the noise and came to see. He saw the broken violin and the crying Anna. He was very upset. He took the violin from Ben and scolded him. "You should not touch your sister's things without asking. You should not break them. You should be sorry." + +He made Ben apologize to Anna and put him in time out. He hugged Anna and tried to comfort her. He said he was sorry for her violin. He said he would try to fix it or buy her a new one. He said he was proud of her for playing so well. + +Anna stopped crying. She hugged her dad and thanked him. She said she loved him and her mom and her violin. She said she forgave Ben, but he had to learn to be nice. She said she still wanted to play for them. + +Her mom came and hugged her too. She said she loved her and her dad and her violin. She said she was sorry for Ben, but he had to learn to behave. She said she still wanted to hear her play. + +They all went to the kitchen and had some cookies. They talked and laughed and felt peaceful. Anna hoped her violin would be okay. She hoped Ben would be better. She hoped they would all be happy. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tim had a big board with letters and numbers on it. He liked to observe the board and learn new words. Lily had a doll and a tea set. She liked to pretend she was having a party with her doll. + +"Tim, come and play with me and my doll," Lily said. "We are having a tea party and you can be the guest." + +"No, thank you," Tim said. "I want to observe my board and learn more words. It is fun and smart." + +Lily was angry. She wanted Tim to play with her. She thought his board was boring and silly. She grabbed the board and threw it on the floor. The board broke into pieces. + +"Hey, what did you do?" Tim shouted. "You broke my board! That was terrible!" + +He ran to the board and tried to put it back together. But it was too broken. He started to cry. + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to break Tim's board. She just wanted him to play with her. She went to Tim and hugged him. + +"I'm sorry, Tim," she said. "I was wrong. Your board is not boring and silly. It is fun and smart. I should not have thrown it. Can you forgive me?" + +Tim looked at Lily. He was still sad, but he also loved his sister. He hugged her back. + +"I forgive you, Lily," he said. "But please don't break my things again. Can we share our toys and play together?" + +Lily nodded. She smiled and wiped his tears. + +"OK, Tim," she said. "We can share our toys and play together. Maybe we can find another board for you. Or we can make one with paper and crayons. What do you think?" + +Tim smiled too. He liked that idea. + +"I think that sounds great, Lily," he said. "Thank you for being my sister. I love you." + +They hugged again and went to find some paper and crayons. They decided to observe the board and the doll and have a tea party. They had fun and learned new words. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to make things with sticks and stones. Tom is very organized. He supplies Lily with the sticks and stones she needs. Lily is very creative. She makes a cross with two sticks and some string. + +"Look, Tom, I made a cross!" Lily says, holding up her work. + +"Wow, Lily, that is very good!" Tom says, smiling. "Can I make one too?" + +"Sure, Tom, here are some more sticks and string. You can make a cross too!" Lily says, sharing her supplies. + +Tom and Lily work together to make another cross. They are very happy and proud of their crosses. They put them on the ground and admire them. + +"Tom, Lily, it's time to go home!" their mom calls from the bench. + +"Okay, mom, we are coming!" Tom and Lily say, picking up their crosses. + +They run to their mom, holding their crosses. They show her what they made. + +"Wow, Tom and Lily, these are very nice crosses!" their mom says, hugging them. "You are very organized and creative!" + +Tom and Lily smile and hug their mom back. They are happy to have made something with their supplies. They are happy to have each other. +Jen and Ben liked to number things. They numbered their toys, their books, their clothes, and even their fingers and toes. They had fun counting and comparing their numbers. They were gifted at number games. + +One day, they saw a poster at school. It said: "Number Contest. Show your skills. Win a prize." Jen and Ben wanted to join. They asked their teacher, Miss Lee, how to sign up. + +"Very easy," Miss Lee said. "You just need to answer some number questions on this paper. The best ones will get a prize. But you have to hurry. The contest ends tomorrow." + +Jen and Ben took the paper and ran home. They worked hard on the questions. They used their fingers, their toes, and their toys to help them. They finished the paper and gave it to Miss Lee the next day. + +The next week, Miss Lee announced the winners. She said: "The first prize goes to...Jen and Ben! They answered all the questions right. They are very gifted at numbers. Come and get your prize!" + +Jen and Ben were so happy. They ran to the front and got their prize. It was a big box with a bow.

She feels a sting in her mouth. + +Her mom and dad hear her and come to see what is wrong. They see the lemon and the microphone. + +"Oh, Lily, that is not a ball. That is a lemon. It is sour.

Tom said, pointing to a branch with some red leaves. "We have to save the birds!" + +Lily nodded and ran to the hose. She turned it on and aimed it at the tree. The water sprayed everywhere and made the leaves wet. + +"Good job, Lily!" Tom said. "You are a clever fireman!" + +"Thank you, Tom!" Lily said. "You are a clever fireman too!" + +They hugged and smiled. They were happy to be firemen and friends. + +Just then, they heard a real siren. They looked up and saw a big red truck coming down the street. It was a real fireman truck! + +"Wow!" Tom and Lily said. "Can we see the fireman truck?" + +They ran to the fence and waved at the firemen. The firemen waved back and stopped the truck. They got out and walked to the fence. + +"Hello, kids!" one of the firemen said. "Do you like firemen?" + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Lily said. "We are firemen too!" + +"Really?" the fireman said. "That's awesome! Do you want to see our truck?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. + +"OK, but you have to promise to be careful and listen to us, OK?" the fireman said. + +"OK, we promise!" Tom and Lily said. + +The fireman opened the gate and let them in. He showed them the truck and the tools and the hose. He let them sit in the driver's seat and wear a helmet. He told them stories about his job and how he helped people. + +Tom and Lily had so much fun. They thanked the fireman and gave him a hug. + +"Thank you for showing us your truck!"

Mom and dad said salad was good for them, but Lily and Ben thought it was yucky and bitter. + +"Please, try some salad, Lily," mom said. "It has carrots and cheese, and you like those." + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to try the salad. She pushed her plate away and crossed her arms. She felt uncomfortable and angry. + +Ben saw that Lily was unhappy. He wanted to make her smile. He had an idea. He took a napkin and folded it into a funny shape. It looked like a bunny with long ears. He held it up and made it hop on the table. + +"Look, Lily, a napkin bunny!" he said. "It can snap its ears like this." He snapped the napkin ears together and made a loud noise. + +Lily looked at the napkin bunny. She forgot about the salad. She thought the napkin bunny was funny and cute. She smiled and laughed. She reached out and took the napkin bunny from Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You are a good brother. Can I snap its ears too?" + +"Sure, Lily," Ben said. "But be careful, don't snap them too hard, or the napkin bunny will rip." + +Lily and Ben played with the napkin bunny. They made it hop and snap and talk. Mom and dad watched them and smiled. They were happy that Lily and Ben were having fun. They did not mind that they did not eat the salad. They knew that sometimes, a napkin bunny was more important. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big yellow slide. Sara wants to go on the slide, but Ben is anxious. He thinks the slide is too high and fast. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide!" Sara says. "It will be fun!" + +"I don't want to, Sara. I'm scared," Ben says. "What if I fall?" + +"You won't fall, Ben. I'll go first and show you. It's easy," Sara says. She runs to the slide and enters it. She slides down with a big smile. "See, Ben? It's not scary.

They were curious and wanted to look inside. + +"Maybe there is someone nice who lives here," Mia said. + +"Or maybe there is a witch who will eat us," Tom said. + +They knocked on the door, but no one answered. They pushed it open and walked in. The house was dark and messy. There were pots and pans, books and bottles, and a big black cat. + +"Hello?" Mia called out. + +"Who are you?" a voice said. It was a witch who was lying on a couch. She had a long nose, a pointy hat, and a green dress. She looked angry and tired. + +"We are sorry, we just wanted to see your house," Tom said. + +"See my house? How rude! This is my house, and you are not welcome here. Go away, or I will turn you into frogs!" the witch said. + +The twins were scared and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They tried to open it, but it did not move. + +"Please, let us go. We won't bother you again," Mia said. + +"No, you will stay here and learn. You will learn to clean my house, to cook my food, to feed my cat, and to do my spells. You will be my helpers, and I will be your teacher. You will work hard, and I will be lazy. That is the deal," the witch said. + +The twins did not like the deal. They did not want to be the witch's helpers. They wanted to go home and play. They looked around and saw a window. It was small and high, but maybe they could reach it. + +"Tom, I have an idea. Let's climb on that table and jump out of the window. Maybe we can escape," Mia whispered. + +"OK, let's try. But be careful, the witch might see us," Tom whispered back. + +They waited until the witch was snoring on the couch. Then they tiptoed to the table and climbed on it. They pushed the window open and jumped out. They landed on the grass and ran away. + +They ran until they reached their home. They hugged their mom and dad and told them what happened. Their parents were shocked and glad that they were safe. + +"Never go to that house again. That witch is mean and dangerous. You were lucky to get away," their mom said. + +"We know, mom. We learned our lesson. We will never be curious again," the twins said. + +But they did not really mean it. They still liked to play in the forest and explore new things. They just avoided the witch's house and hoped she would not find them. They were happy and brave, and the witch was lonely and lazy. That was the end. +Tom was an adventurous boy who liked to try new things. He wanted to have a haircut like his dad, who had short hair and a beard. He asked his mom if he could go to the barber with him. + +"Sure, Tom, you can go with dad to the barber.

Tom saw many people with different hair and beards. He was curious and excited. He wanted to look like his dad. + +When it was his turn, he climbed on the barber chair. The barber put a cape around him and asked him what he wanted. + +"I want to have short hair and a beard like dad," Tom said. + +The barber smiled and said, "Well, you are a very adventurous boy, Tom. But you are too young to have a beard. How about I give you a nice trim and a little gel to make your hair stand up?" + +Tom thought about it and said, "Okay, that sounds fun. But can you stretch my hair a little bit so I look taller?" + +The barber laughed and said, "Sure, Tom, I can stretch your hair a little bit. But not too much, or you will look like a giraffe." + +The barber cut and stretched Tom's hair. He put some gel on it and made it stand up. He showed Tom his reflection in the mirror. + +"Wow, I look cool!" Tom said. + +"You do, Tom, you do. You are a very adventurous boy," the barber said. + +Tom thanked the barber and got off the chair. He ran to his dad and hugged him. + +"Dad, look at my hair! Do I look like you?" Tom asked. + +"You do, Tom, you do. You look very handsome and adventurous," his dad said. + +Tom and his dad left the barber shop. Tom was happy and proud. He had a haircut like his dad.

They want to eat it right away. They do not wait for Mom and Dad. + +Tom grabs the box and tries to open it. But the box is tight. He pulls and pulls, but the box does not open. He gets angry and shouts. + +"Give me the box!" Lily says. She wants to try too. She thinks she can open it. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He does not want to share. He pushes Lily away. + +Lily falls on the floor and cries. She is hurt and sad. She does not like Tom. + +Tom does not care. He keeps pulling the box. He is very strong. He pulls so hard that the box breaks. The cereal flies out of the box and goes everywhere. It lands on the floor, on the table, on the chairs, on the walls, on the window. + +Tom and Lily are shocked. They look at the mess. They do not know what to do. They hear Mom and Dad coming. They are in trouble. + +Mom and Dad enter the kitchen and see the cereal all over the place. They are very angry. They look at Tom and Lily. They do not smile. They do not say good morning. They say bad words. + +"Tom, Lily, what have you done?" Mom says. "This is very naughty. You wasted the cereal. You made a big mess. You hurt each other. You did not listen to us. You did not bow your heads and say sorry. You are in big trouble." + +Mom and Dad take away the bowl and the spoon from Tom and Lily. They do not give them any cereal. They do not give them any milk. They do not give them any juice. They do not give them any toast. They do not give them any fruit. They do not give them any breakfast. + +Tom and Lily are very hungry. They are very sorry.

They love stories. They sit next to each other and listen. + +Miss Lily opens the book and shows them a picture of a lion. She says, "This is a lion. He is very big and strong. He lives in the jungle. He can roar very loud." The children nod and say, "Wow!" + +Miss Lily turns the page and shows them a picture of a mouse. She says, "This is a mouse. He is very small and fast. He lives in the house. He can squeak very soft." The children nod and say, "Aww!" + +Miss Lily turns the page and shows them a picture of a snake. She says, "This is a snake. He is very long and slimy. He lives in the grass. He can hiss very scary." The children nod and say, "Eek!" + +But Ben does not like snakes. He is afraid of snakes. He sees the snake and he screams. He screams very loud and very high. He jumps up and runs away. He bumps into a table and knocks over a vase. The vase breaks and makes a big mess. + +Miss Lily and the children are shocked. They look at Ben and the vase. Sara runs after Ben. She says, "Ben, Ben, are you okay? Don't be scared. It's just a picture. The snake can't hurt you." + +Ben stops and looks at Sara. He sees her kind eyes and her friendly smile. He feels a little better. He says, "Sara, I'm sorry. I don't like snakes. They make me scream." + +Sara hugs Ben and says, "It's okay, Ben. I don't like spiders. They make me scream. But we can be brave together. Come on, let's go back to the circle. Miss Lily will read us another story. Maybe it will be a funny story." + +Ben nods and says, "Okay, Sara. Thank you. You are a good friend." He takes Sara's hand and they walk back to the circle. Miss Lily smiles and says, "I'm glad you're back, Ben. Don't worry, the next story is not about snakes. It's about a puppy. He is very cute and fluffy. He lives in the farm. He can bark very happy." The children nod and say, "Yay!" +Sara was very sad. It was her birthday, but no one came to her party. She had a cake, balloons, and toys, but no friends. She felt very lonely and angry. + +"Why does no one like me?" she asked her mom. + +"Maybe because you are not very nice to them," her mom said. "You always slap them, call them bad names, and take their things. That is not how you make friends." + +Sara did not want to hear that. She thought her mom was wrong. She slapped her mom and ran to her room. She slammed the door and cried. + +After a while, she heard a knock on the door. It was her dad. He came to talk to her. + +"Sara, I know you are upset, but you can't slap your mom. That is very rude and hurtful. You have to say sorry to her," he said. + +"I don't want to say sorry. She is mean to me. She said no one likes me," Sara said. + +"She is not mean to you. She loves you. She only told you the truth. You have to be kind and respectful to others if you want them to be your friends. You have to share, listen, and help them. That is how you make friends," he said. + +Sara thought about what her dad said. She realized he was right. She had been mean to the other kids. She had slapped them, called them bad names, and taken their things. She felt sorry for what she had done. She wanted to have friends. + +She wiped her tears and opened the door. She hugged her dad and said, "Thank you, dad. You are smart. I will be nice to others. I will say sorry to mom." + +She went to the living room, where her mom was waiting. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. I will be nice to others. Can we still have cake?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, sweetie. I'm proud of you. I love you too. Happy birthday." + +They had cake, balloons, and toys together. Sara felt happy. She learned a lesson. She learned that being nice is better than being mean. She learned that slapping is wrong.

"It's very nice and we worked hard on it!" + +"I'm sure you did, dear, but you can't leave the blocks like this. You could trip and hurt yourself, or someone else could. You need to wipe the floor and put the blocks away in the box. Then you can have a snack and play something else." Grandma said, firmly. + +Sam and Lily sighed. They knew Grandma was right, but they were sad to say goodbye to their building. They looked at each other and nodded. They decided to take a picture of their building with Mom's phone, so they could remember it. Then they started to wipe the floor and put the blocks away in the box. They did it quickly and carefully, and Grandma helped them. When they were done, Grandma hugged them and praised them for being good and tidy. + +"Thank you, Sam and Lily, for cleaning up.
