The store owner tasted it and said that it was ok.

From that day onwards, she was never seen wearing an ordinary dress again. +Once upon a time there was a wealthy wolf who had lots of steel. He kept it all in a big safe. One day, a little fox came along. He said he was hungry and asked the wolf if he could have some of his steel. The wolf thought for a moment and said "No, you cannot have my steel!" + +The little fox was sad. He said "But, why not? All I want is a little bit of steel." The wolf answered "Well, I am wealthy and the steel belongs to me. It's not yours, so you cannot have it." The little fox was very sad and he said he was sorry for asking. + +The wolf felt bad for being so selfish. So he decided that he would share some of his steel with the little fox. The wolf gave him some of his steel to eat and they both shared a meal. + +From that day on, the wolf shared his steel with anyone who was in need and was always kind and generous. The moral of the story is that sharing is better than being selfish. Even if you have lots of steel, it's ok to share it with others. +Jill was a small girl who taught her little brother to pray each morning. She liked to teach him about being dependable and taking care of his responsibilities. + +One morning, she asked him, “Are you ready to pray?†+ +He nodded and they bowed their heads. He repeated after Jill as she said, “Dear Lord, thank you for this dependable morning. Help us to be kind, to help others and to stay strong in You. Amen.†+ +They opened their eyes and smiled. “We did it!†Jill said. + +Being dependable and praying each morning was their special way to start the day. +One day, the sky was looking very pale. Suddenly, there was a rumble in the sky, and it started to rain. It rained and rained and rained. + +The puddles on the ground grew and grew, until some of them turned into rivers. Jenny and her family wanted to play in the water, so they took a long tube and floated it on the river. + +They floated down the river, passing lots of interesting things. They saw trees, birds, and other animals. They laughed and played for a long time. + +When the sun came out, the puddles dried up, but the fun memories of their tube adventure stayed with them forever. +One day, there was a little girl walking in the forest. She was graceful and beautiful, like a fairy. She waved her arms around and danced to the chorus birds. She skipped and hopped in joy. But then, suddenly, she heard a loud yell. + +She stopped and looked around. She saw a small crack on the ground. The crack was small but very deep. Suddenly, a rabbit popped out of it, yelling frantically. The little girl was both scared and surprised. She asked the rabbit what was wrong. + +The rabbit said that it was scared of the fox. The fox had been chasing it. The little girl was very brave. She held out her hand, and shouted at the fox to go away. The fox was so surprised that it ran away very quickly. + +The rabbit was very thankful. It thanked the little girl and ran away. The little girl felt proud of herself. With one brave yell, she had managed to solve the conflict and protect the rabbit. She was so graceful and brave. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lucy. She was three years old and she had a very special question: what is a market? + +One day she asked her mom, "What is a market?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Let's go for a walk, and I will show you." + +So they went outside and started walking. They Passed by a smelly fish market. The smell made Lucy scrunch up her nose. She asked, "Is that a market?" + +Mom smiled. "Yes, it is," she said. + +They kept walking until they reached a vegetable market. There were many people shopping. Mom said, "This is also a market." Lucy said, "Oh! I see!" + +Then they kept walking until they came to a busy intersection. Cars and buses were going everywhere. + +"Stop!" Mom said. She pointed at all of the vehicles. "This is a market too - it's a busy traffic market. People buy and sell their services here, like a motorbike taxi." + +Lucy nodded. "OK," she said, "I understand now. Markets are smelly, and busy, and everywhere!" +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Sue. Sue was feeling very miserable and wanted something to make her happy again. One day while Sue was looking around, she spotted a ladder in her neighbor's backyard. She decided she would climb the ladder and see what she could find! + +Sue bravely stood on the ladder and climbed all the way to the top. When she reached the top, Sue was surprised to see a bunch of toys! She was so happy and quickly put all of them in her basket. + +As she was about to go back home, Sue heard a voice behind her. It was her neighbor! The neighbor said to her, “Sue, taking things that are not yours is wrong. It will make you feel even more miserable.†+ +Sue realized the truth of her neighbor's words. She apologized, returned the toys and promised herself she would not do it again. + +Moral: Respect the things that belong to others and never take them without permission. +Once upon a time there was a small boy who lived in a big city. He wanted to find out what a crane was so he asked his father. His father told him it was a tall machine that could lift heavy things high into the air. The boy was eager to learn more. He went outside to have a closer look. He spotted one down the street and wondered what it was doing. +He toddled closer and saw the crane was holding up a large rock. He saw a few men on the ground pushing and pulling the rock into the right place. The boy was surprised to see the crane working hard. + +He ran back to his dad to share his surprise. His father said, "That crane is doing the work of many men. It is taking the place of their hard work and helping them to finish their job quicker." The little boy thought this was so special and thanked his dad for the lesson. + +The little boy learned that everyone needs help sometimes to get something done. He was thankful for the crane and the men who were working together. He was glad that he had asked his father about the crane and was eager to learn more. +Once upon a time, there were two boys, Joe and Bob. Joe was playing on the playground and he noticed something very round. He shouted to Bob saying. "Look! I can see something round!" +Bob hopped off the swing to come look. "Let's go see, Joe!" +When they got close to the round thing they couldn't believe it, it was a big red ball! Joe said, "Let's play!" +But Bob said, "No, that's a stupid thing to do." +Joe was so surprised at what Bob said, he replied, "Why is it stupid?" +Bob said, "Because if we play with it, it could roll away and we won't be able to find it." +Joe thought about it, and he agreed that it was a good idea to observe the ball and not play with it. +So they both sat back and observed the round ball from a distance, until eventually it got dark and they had to go home. +Once upon a time there was a sailor. He went out alone in his boat every day. +One day, he saw a young boy struggling in the water. He quickly jumped in and pulled him to safety. +The sailor asked the boy, "What were you doing in the water?" +The little boy told the sailor, "I was trying to swim, but I didn't know how." +The sailor was glad he was able to teach the boy something. He said, "It is very bad to be in the water without knowing how to swim. I will teach you how to be a good swimmer." +The sailor spent the rest of the day teaching the little boy how to swim. The little boy was very thankful and promised to never be in the water without knowing how to swim. + +From that day on, the sailor went out with his boat and taught any child he found how to swim. The sailor became known as the kind fisherman who taught all the boys and girls how to be safe in the water. + +The moral of the story is that it’s always important to teach others how to do something the right way. Doing bad things can lead to serious consequences. +Once there was a young girl called Anna. She was full of curiosity and loved to dream. She had a big, comfortable chair that she used to sit in near the window when it was sunny. One day, Anna looked out the window and saw a calendar hanging on the other side of the street. She wanted to take it. + +That evening, Anna talked to her mom about it. "Mom, can I go get the calendar?", Anna asked. "No, it's too dangerous", her mom said. But Anna refused to listen. She was determined to get the calendar so she snuck away quietly. + +When Anna got to the street, she saw a small car coming. Frightened, she ran. But it was too late. The car hit her, and she blacked out. When she woke up a few hours later, she was in the hospital. She didn't get the calendar. Her dream had ended in a horrible way. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Amy. She was three years old, and very gentle. One day, she decided to start an adventure in the woods. She started walking through and explored the different plants and animals. + +She came across a meadow that was filled with delicate flowers. She wanted to pick one of them and take it home.

She asked the little girl what she was doing but she just looked up at her and smiled. + +"Do you understand mommy?" the mother asked in a mild tone. + +The little girl shook her head and said, "No." + +Her mother smiled and took a piece of the chalk. She then drew a big circle on the ground and said, "This is a circle. Do you understand?" + +The little girl nodded and smiled. She was starting to understand what her mother was showing her. The mother continued to draw a few more shapes and asked her daughter if she understood them. The little girl nodded and the mother was happy. + +From that day, the little girl kept playing with her chalk and she started to understand more and more of the shapes her mother was teaching her. +Once upon a time there was a cute little puppy called Bob.

Bob couldn't wait to eat the treat, so he gobbled it up all in one go. + +Just then Bob's owner, mommy, came outside. She was very angry with Bob for eating the treat so quickly and she said "Bob, you shouldn't have eaten that treat so quickly. Now you will be sick for sure." + +Then Bob started to feel very ill and he threw up all the treat he had eaten. Bob was very sad, he learned his lesson and from then on he was very careful with his mail. +Once there was a poor boy. He was picking up some round stones in his garden. Suddenly he heard someone call him: "Hello, little boy, what are you picking?" The little boy turned around and saw an old man standing there. The boy said, "I'm picking round stones." The old man nodded softly and said, "Do you want something else to pick?" + +The little boy frowned and said, "But I'm poor, I don't have any money." The old man chuckled and said, "That doesn't matter, it's my gift to you. Come with me.". + +The old man took him to his house and showed him a special room. In the room were piles and piles of bright, colorful stones just waiting to be picked. The little boy's eyes got wide and he quickly started picking and looking at the stones. The old man asked, "Do you like it?" The little boy smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, I like it. Thank you! This is the best picking ever!" +The sun shone brightly in Little John's backyard. He was so excited to play with his new toy, a powerful rubber ball. He took the ball and began running around and around in the grass. + +But then, Little John started to yell. He was so excited that the ball was bouncing all around him. His dad heard and came out to check on him. + +"What's the matter, Little John?" he asked. + +Little John huffed. "My rubber ball is so powerful, I can't catch it!" he said. + +His dad smiled and said, "If you want to catch it, you'll have to be patient and work hard to get it." He showed Little John how to steady his hands and keep still. After a few attempts, the ball was in his hands. + +Little John was so proud of himself. His dad gave him a big hug and said, "Sometimes, hard work pays off. Patience and practice can do amazing things." + +Little John knew that his dad was right and ran back outside to enjoy his rubber ball. +John was walking through the park one day, feeling very excited. He could see lots of interesting things, like ducks and otters swimming in the lake. He suddenly spotted an otter playing near the shore, and shouted out "I see an otter!". + +John's mom smiled, and said "That's great! Would you like to go closer, and watch it?". + +John eagerly nodded in agreement, so the two of them went closer. As they watched the little otter swim around, John noticed that it was getting bigger and bigger. His mom explained that the otter was increasing in size, but didn't explain why. + +As they watched, they noticed the otter swimming faster and faster, before suddenly it dived deep into the water. After a few moments, it rose up again and jumped out with a big splash, much bigger than before! +John and his mom realised that the otter had been eating lots of fish and was now too big to stay in the lake. It was a great sight to see, and the two of them grinned and laughed as the otter swam away, much bigger than before. +Once upon a time, there were two furry friends, a pink kitten and a brown puppy. Every day they would meet in the park and play together. But one day, the puppy was feeling grumpy and did not want to play. + +The pink kitten was sad, so he asked why the puppy was not in the mood. + +The puppy replied, "I'm tired of playing the same game. I think its time for me to quit." + +The pink kitten was so hurt by this statement that he ran away crying. + +The puppy could now see how hurtful his words had been. He ran after the pink kitten and apologized for wanting to quit. + +He explained that he wanted to quit because he was afraid of trying something different, but now he realized that he can try new things without quitting. + +The moral of the story is that it is okay to try something new, but it is never okay to quit on your friends. +Once upon a time, there was a big, furry dog. He was called Barko. Barko was a very happy dog. He wanted to go and play outside but it was raining. He was so confused! + +Barko looked outside and said "What should I do?" + +Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Barko ran to see who was there. He was very excited. + +At the door, there was a heavy blanket. It was very colourful and sparkly. Barko couldn't believe it. He thought to himself, "Who would leave such a special blanket at my door?" + +Barko was a bit confused, but he knew what to do. He grabbed the blanket and ran back inside. He found a nice spot, hugged the blanket and covered himself up. His day was suddenly so much better. + +The End. +Once there was a little bear who loved to explore. He lived in a forest at the edge of a mountain. One day, the bear wanted to try climbing the mountain. He scampered up to the top of the first hill and stopped to rest. He felt a weight on his back and wondered what it was. He slowly turned around and saw a clear bag right behind him. Inside the bag were some heavy stones. The bear was surprised and tried to take the stones out of the bag. He tried to carry them up the mountain, but it was too much for him. He tried to think of another plan. Then he had an idea. He started to roll the stones up the mountain. It was hard work but eventually he reached the top. The bear was so proud of himself and he scurried down to the bottom of the mountain. From then on, the bear always remembered to try his best! +Jim heard a strange noise outside his window. He opened his curtains and was surprised to see a big blue bird looking in. The bird bowed and said, "Hello Jim, can I come in please?". Jim was surprised but he said, "Yes, come in please." + +The bird flew in and perched on Jim's shoulder. It said, "Thank you! Now wait here while I explain my mission." Jim felt a little concerned but he waited. The bird flew up, picked up a single blue feather, and dropped the feather down the chimney. + +Suddenly, a loud rumbling noise echoed throughout the house. Jim asked, "What's happening?". The bird said, "I have released something very bad into your house, something that will harm you. Run as fast as you can Jim, you will be safe." + +Jim ran out of the house and he quickly banged on a neighbour's door. Nobody answered. Jim felt scared but he had to keep Bow. He counted to three and then he opened the door. But he was too late, the bad thing had already entered the house. + +Jim shivered in fear. He bowed his head in defeat and told himself, "This is all my fault." There was no way out and no one to help him. The bad ended with Jim never seeing his blue bird friend again. +Max woke up early and was excited to go fishing with his dad. He put on his rubber boots and grabbed his fishing rod, and with his dad, headed to the lake. + +At the lake, Max watched as his dad set up the fishing pole by placing a hook in the bait. Max was so excited to cast his own line into the water, but then he remembered that he had forgotten to bring his own coaster. He was so ashamed. + +His dad noticed Max was feeling down, so he gently said, "It's ok, buddy, I have an extra, but you have to promise to be careful, so that we don't have to quit fishing too soon." + +Max quickly agreed and his dad put an extra hook on his line. Max happily cast his line into the water and they waited, and waited, until finally, Max felt a tug on his line! He was so excited he let out a big yell. His dad smiled and said to him, "Good job Max! You've got something on your line!" + +Max reeled in his catch and was so proud of himself. He couldn't quit smiling for the rest of the morning. +Once upon a time there was brave little girl, who lived in a village. Every morning the little girl would walk through the village and pass a big hedge. One day, the little girl noticed a fluffy white bird had been caught in between the branches of the hedge. The bird was scared and trying to fly away, but couldn't. + +The little girl was determined to help the fluffy white bird, and bravely reached in to grab it. Slowly, she freed the bird and held it in her hands. The little girl noticed the bird was wearing a pretty golden tag with the word "Home" written on it. She was so happy to have rescued the bird that she wanted to find it the home it belonged to. + +So, the little girl gently set the bird free. The bird flew away, and the little girl waved goodbye with a smile. She was very proud of herself for being brave and helping the bird find it's way home. + +The moral of this story is that it is always important to help those who need it. Everyone needs help sometimes, including animals, and if we have a chance to lend a helping hand we should take it. +One day, Terry was at the park. He was playing on the slide when he noticed a big box in the corner. He ran over and saw that it said "New Prize." He was eager to open it. + +He asked his mom, "Can I open it? Please, please?" His mom said, "I don't know, why don't you give it a try?" + +So, Terry carefully stepped closer to the box and pulled on it. Suddenly, something inside made a loud noise. He stepped back, scared. He said, "What was that? Is something going to break?" + +His mom smiled and said, "I'm not sure, but it could be. Why don't you try opening it again and see what's inside?" + +Terry felt a bit nervous but was excited for the surprise. He slowly tore off the wrapping and opened the box.

Porter said to Bob, "Let's see who can get to the top first!" But it was so high and looked so difficult! + +Bob said to Porter, "It looks too hard, let's just stick to racing on the ground." But Porter was more competitive and he decided to take on the challenge. He started to crawl up the vine. + +Bob shouted up at Porter, "Go on, I know you can do it!" + +Porter kept going, slowly but surely, until he finally reached the top. He shouted down to Bob, "I made it!" + +Bob clapped and cheered. Porter had won the race! +Once there was a rich man named Bob. Bob was very happy because he had golden shoes and a shiny hat. He went to the park one day and saw a little girl playing by herself. + +Bob walked up to the little girl and said, "Hello there! What's your name?" + +The girl looked up at Bob and said, "My name is Jenny. What's yours?" + +Bob said, "My name is Bob. Do you want to have some fun?" + +Jenny smiled and nodded. So the two of them started playing tag. Bob chased Jenny around and she laughed and ran away. + +Eventually, Bob caught Jenny and touched her leg. Jenny giggled and said, "That tickles!" + +Bob laughed and said, "Let's go play something else!" He took Jenny's hand and they ran off to find a new game. + +The rich man and the little girl had lots of fun together that day. And they became good friends. +Once upon a time there was a grumpy old bear who lived in a big deep pitch. Every day he laid down in the pitch and never wanted to move. One day a small rabbit hopped by and asked the bear why he was so grumpy and why he never moved. The bear roared in response, "Why should I move? There's no reason for me to do so!" The rabbit, feeling brave, said "Why don't you come play with me? That way you won't be so grumpy!" The bear was still not sure, but reluctantly agreed. They spent the day hopping and playing in the pitch, and when the sun set, the bear told the rabbit, "Your idea was really fun!" From that day on, the bear and rabbit were the best of friends. They even started playing together in the pitch every day! +Once upon a time, there was a man who lived by himself in a house. He was very lonely, so he went outside to talk to his neighbor. + +The neighbor was paler than usual, and the man asked, "What's wrong?". + +The neighbor replied, "I need help loading this wheelbarrow. Can you help me?". + +The man gladly agreed, and the two loaded the wheelbarrow together. After they finished, the neighbor thanked the man, and the man was no longer so lonely. +Once, there was a team of two best friends. One was called Ben and the other was called Jo. They loved playing together and had lots of fun. + +One day, they were running and playing a game. Ben tripped and fell and Jo saw that he was hurt. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" asked Jo. + +"Yes, I'm okay," Ben said, shaking his head. + +But then something happened that split the team apart. Jo had thought Ben was running too fast and said something hurtful to him. Ben was so upset that he ran away. + +Jo was so sorry for what she had said. She went looking for Ben everywhere for days, and finally found him hiding in a tree. + +Jo was glad and hugged Ben tight. "I'm sorry for saying something hurtful," she said. + +Ben said, "It's okay.

Lucy had found a special place underwater and was excited to explore it again soon. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Mary. Mary loved playing in the garden. One day, she decided to make a maze. She carefully placed lots of twigs to make a path that twisted and turned like a winding river. + +Mary enjoyed running around the paths and solving the maze. Suddenly, it started to rain. Raindrops started to soak into the twigs and the maze was gradually being destroyed. Mary was so upset. She looked up to the sky and said, "Please don't soak my maze!". + +But the rain kept on falling. Mary ran inside the house, closed her eyes and said a little prayer. + +Suddenly, Mary heard a voice. "Just when you thought it had gone wrong, try looking on the bright side and the sun will soon come along. So don't worry Mary, your maze will dry soon enough!". + +Mary opened her eyes and saw that the rain had stopped pouring. Sure enough, when the sun came out, the twigs dried up. Mary was so pleased. She went back to running around the paths of the maze, with a big smile on her face. +Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit called Tim. He was very happy and liked to play around the garden hopping from one place to the other. One day Tim was playing and ran into an exit. He had never seen one before and he was very curious. He wanted to explore it and see where it would take him. + +Tim stepped into the exit and started walking. The path was smooth and Tim was very excited. Suddenly he turned a corner and lost his way. He was very scared and started to cry. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice. It was his Mommy. She said, "Tim, come here I can help you". Tim followed his Mommy's voice and soon found her.

She opened it and peered inside, but just as she was about to turn the page, her mom and dad shouted at her to stop. She started to feel a bit uncomfortable, so she reluctantly closed the diary and put it back. + +The next day, Lucy was back in the park with her family, but when she looked for the purple diary again, it wasn't there. She searched the park, but it was nowhere to be seen. In its place was a note with an unkind message that said, "Stay out of other people's affairs. It's not nice to snoop!" + +Lucy felt embarrassed, but she learnt an important lesson that day. From then on, whenever she felt curious about something, she remembered the note and did her best to stop herself from snooping. Doing the right thing is always the best choice, even if it's uncomfortable. +Once upon a time, there was a lovely mama who dearly loved her three children. She was a very kind mama and never forgot to give them a big hug every morning. + +One day, mama came home from the store with some yummy meat for dinner. As she opened the door, the three kids jumped in to give her a big hug!

Meat can be so yummy, if you just know how to cook it like I do!" + +The kids all looked at each other, not sure if they should believe mama.

She had a toy car that she liked to push around her house. One day, Sarah decided to take her car outdoors. Sarah's mother warned her that it was getting late and that after sunset, it gets noisy outside. Sarah replied, "I want to take it out and cut the grass with it." + +Sarah took her little car outside and started cutting the grass. The car made loud noises and created a big mess!

They make a door and a window and a flag. They are very happy with their fort. They take turns to be the leader and the guard. They say, "No one can enter our fort without our permission!" + +But then, a big boy comes to the park. He sees the box and laughs. He says, "What a silly fort! It looks like garbage! I'm going to kick it down!" He runs towards the box and tries to kick it. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They don't want their fort to be destroyed. They want to protect it. They shout, "Stop! Go away! This is our fort!" But the big boy doesn't listen. He kicks harder and harder. + +Suddenly, a man comes to the park. He is the big boy's father. He sees what his son is doing and gets angry. He says, "What are you doing, son? That's not nice! You can't ruin other children's toys! Apologize to them right now!" + +The big boy is embarrassed. He knows he did something wrong. He says, "I'm sorry, Tom and Mia. I was mean to you and your fort. Can we be friends?" Tom and Mia are surprised. They are still a little scared, but they are also kind. They say, "OK, we can be friends. But you have to be nice to our fort. Do you want to play with us?" + +The big boy nods. He says, "Yes, I want to play with you. Your fort is actually cool. Can I be the leader?" Tom and Mia smile. They say, "Sure, you can be the leader. But you have to share and be fair." They all go inside the box and play together. They have fun and forget their fight. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, Lily had a new dress with a zipper on the back. She was very happy and showed it to Ben. + +"Wow, your dress is pretty!" Ben said. "Can I try it on?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked her dress, but she also liked Ben. She decided to lend it to him. + +"Okay, you can try it on. But be careful with the zipper. It can get stuck." + +Ben nodded and took the dress. He went to the bathroom and put it on. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled. He felt like a princess. + +He tried to zip up the back, but he did not know how. He pulled and pulled, but the zipper did not move. He pulled harder, but the zipper broke. He heard a rip and saw a hole in the dress. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. "I broke Lily's dress! She will be mad at me!" + +He took off the dress and ran back to Lily. He was very sorry and scared. + +"Lily, I'm so sorry! I broke your dress! I was foolish and did not listen to you!" + +Lily saw the dress and gasped. She was very sad and angry. She liked her dress, and now it was ruined. + +"Ben, why did you do that? You were not careful with the zipper! You were foolish and did not listen to me!" + +She took the dress and hugged it. She did not want to talk to Ben. She did not want to be his friend. + +Ben felt bad. He wanted to make Lily happy. He wanted to be her friend. + +"Lily, please don't be mad at me. I'm sorry. I will fix your dress. I will buy you a new one. I will do anything. Please be my friend." + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw his tears and heard his words. She remembered that he was her best friend. She remembered that he liked her dress. She remembered that he was only trying to have fun. + +She sighed and smiled. She was not so sad and angry. She liked Ben, and he was sorry. + +"Ben, it's okay. I'm not mad at you. I'm sorry too. You don't have to fix my dress. You don't have to buy me a new one. You just have to be my friend." + +She gave the dress to Ben and hugged him. He hugged her back. They were friends again. + +They decided to play with something else. They did not play with zippers anymore. They learned to be careful and listen to each other. They were not foolish anymore. They were happy. +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many colorful leaves. They want to touch the leaves, but they are too high. + +"Look, Tom, there is a bench. We can lean on it and reach the leaves," Mia says. + +They run to the bench and climb on it. They lean on the bench and stretch their arms. They touch the leaves and feel how soft they are. + +"Wow, they are so pretty. I like the red ones and the yellow ones," Tom says. + +"I like the orange ones and the green ones," Mia says. + +They pick some leaves and hold them in their palms. They show each other their leaves and smile. + +"Let's make a picture with the leaves. We can use the grass as the paper," Mia says. + +They jump off the bench and run to the grass. They lay the leaves on the grass and make a picture of a flower. + +"Look, we made a colorful flower. It is so nice," Tom says. + +They admire their picture and clap their hands. They are happy and proud. They like to play in the park. +Lily liked to play in the garden with her dog, Spot. She liked to dig holes, chase butterflies and smell the flowers. But she did not like the pepper plants that her mom grew. She thought they were spicy and yucky. + +One day, her mom came out with a basket of peppers. She smiled and said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. I made some pepper soup for lunch. It is very yummy and good for you. Do you want to try some?" + +Lily shook her head and made a face. She did not want to try the pepper soup. She said, "No, thank you, mom. I do not like peppers. They are spicy and yucky. Can I have something else?" + +Her mom frowned and said, "Lily, you should not be picky. You should accept what I make for you. Peppers are not spicy and yucky. They are sweet and tasty. And they have vitamins that make you strong and healthy. Please, give it a chance. You might like it." + +Lily looked at the pepper soup. It was red and hot and smelled funny. She did not think it was sweet and tasty. She thought it was filthy and gross. She said, "No, mom. I do not want to give it a chance. I do not want to eat filthy pepper soup. I want to play with Spot." + +Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, you are being stubborn and rude. You should not say that the soup is filthy. I worked hard to make it for you. And you should not play with Spot now. He is filthy too. He needs a bath. Come on, let's go inside and wash up. Maybe you will change your mind about the soup later." + +Lily did not want to go inside. She did not want to wash up. She did not want to change her mind. She wanted to stay in the garden with Spot. She said, "No, mom. I do not want to go inside. I do not want to wash up. I do not want to change my mind. I want to stay here with Spot. He is not filthy. He is my friend." + +Her mom shook her head and said, "Lily, you are being silly and naughty. You cannot stay here with Spot. You have to come inside and eat your lunch. And you have to try the pepper soup. It is not filthy. It is delicious. Trust me, you will like it." + +Lily did not trust her mom. She did not believe her mom. She did not listen to her mom. She ran away from her mom and hid behind a tree with Spot. She said, "No, mom. I do not have to come inside. I do not have to eat your lunch. I do not have to try the pepper soup. I do not trust you. I do not believe you. I do not listen to you. I stay here with Spot. He is my friend. He likes me. He does not make me eat filthy pepper soup." +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going to see Grandma and Grandpa. Mom and Dad put a big gift in the car. It was for Grandma's birthday. + +"Can I drive the car, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben, you are too little to drive. You can sit in your seat and look out the window," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben put on their seat belts. Mom and Dad got in the front. Dad started the car and drove away. + +They drove for a long time. They saw trees, houses, cows, and birds. Anna and Ben sang songs and played games. They were having fun. + +But then, something bad happened. A big truck came very fast behind them. It made a loud noise. It honked its horn. It tried to pass them. + +Anna and Ben were frightened. They held each other's hands. They closed their eyes. + +"Mom, Dad, what is that?" Anna cried. + +"Don't worry, kids, we are okay. The truck is just being rude. Dad will move to the side and let it go," Mom said. + +Dad slowed down and moved to the right. The truck zoomed past them. It was gone. + +Anna and Ben opened their eyes. They were relieved. They hugged Mom and Dad. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben, we are almost there. Look, there is Grandma and Grandpa's house. They are waiting for us. And they will love the gift we brought for them," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They were happy again. They could not wait to see Grandma and Grandpa. They loved them very much. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big puzzle in the toy box. The puzzle has many pieces. They want to make the picture on the box. + +They start to put the pieces together on the floor. They find the corners and the edges. They look for the colors and the shapes. They work hard and have fun. + +But then, a fat cat comes into the room. The cat sees the puzzle. The cat thinks the puzzle is a toy. The cat jumps on the puzzle and makes a mess. The pieces fly everywhere. Tim and Sam are sad and angry. + +"Bad cat! Go away!" Tim shouts. He picks up a toy gun and shoots at the cat. The toy gun makes a loud noise. "Bang! Bang!" + +The cat is scared. The cat runs away. Tim and Sam chase the cat. They want to make the cat say sorry. + +But the cat is fast. The cat hides under the bed. Tim and Sam cannot find the cat. They give up. They go back to the puzzle. They try to fix the puzzle. But some pieces are missing. They look for the pieces. They find some under the sofa, some on the table, some in the trash. They put the pieces back together. They finish the puzzle. They are happy. + +They look at the picture on the puzzle. It is a picture of a fat cat. They laugh. They forgive the cat. They say the cat is funny. They call the cat to come out. The cat comes out. The cat is sorry. The cat licks Tim and Sam. Tim and Sam pet the cat. They are friends. They play with the cat and the puzzle. They have fun. The end. +Lily and Sam love to camp with Mom and Dad. They have a big tent and a fire. They roast marshmallows and sing songs. They see stars and animals. + +One night, Lily and Sam hear a noise outside the tent. They are scared. They hug Mom and Dad. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +"Let's find out," Dad says. He opens the tent and shines a light. + +They see a big, pink pig. It is sniffing their food. It has a curly tail and floppy ears. + +"Oink, oink," the pig says. + +Lily and Sam laugh. They are not scared anymore. They think the pig is funny and cute. + +"Hello, pig," Sam says. "Do you want a marshmallow?" + +The pig nods and wags its tail. Sam gives it a marshmallow. The pig eats it and smiles. + +"Thank you, Sam," the pig says. + +"You're welcome, pig," Sam says. + +Lily and Sam make friends with the pig. They pet it and play with it. They share their food and their songs. They have fun. + +They love to camp with Mom and Dad and the pig. They have a pink, happy night. +Mia and Ben liked to play in the park. They had a game where they pretended to be ducks. They quacked and waddled and flapped their arms. Sometimes they chased the real ducks by the pond, but the ducks were faster and flew away. + +One day, it was very cold in the park. Mia and Ben saw some ice on the pond. They wanted to try to slide on it, like the ducks did. They held hands and walked carefully to the edge of the pond. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, Mia. Let's go!" Ben said. + +They stepped on the ice and started to slide. But the ice was slippery and thin. It cracked under their feet. Mia and Ben heard a loud noise and felt the water splash on their legs. + +"Freeze!" Mia shouted. "Don't move, Ben!" + +Mia and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do. They saw a man walking his dog near the pond. He saw them and ran to help them. He had a long stick. He reached out the stick to Mia and Ben. + +"Grab the stick, kids!" he said. "I'll pull you out!" + +Mia and Ben grabbed the stick. The man pulled them out of the pond. They were wet and cold and shivering. The man wrapped them in his coat and took them to his car. He drove them to their home and told their mom what happened. + +Mia and Ben's mom was very worried. She thanked the man and gave him a hug. She took Mia and Ben inside and gave them warm clothes and hot chocolate. She hugged them and kissed them and told them they were brave. + +"Mia and Ben, you are very lucky," she said. "You should never go on the ice without an adult. It is very dangerous. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom," Mia and Ben said. "We are sorry. We won't do it again." + +They learned their lesson. The next day, they went back to the park. But they did not play on the ice. They played on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They were more organized and careful. They still pretended to be ducks, but they stayed away from the pond. They had fun and stayed safe. +Mira and Sam are best friends. They like to play pretend in the park. Today, they are pretending to be superheroes. Mira has a red cape and Sam has a blue mask. + +"I am Super Mira!" Mira says. "I have the power of fire. I can make things hot and melt them." + +"I am Super Sam!" Sam says. "I have the power of ice. I can make things cold and freeze them." + +They run around the park, making fire and ice sounds. They see a big slide. They want to go on it. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Mira says. + +"OK, but I go first!" Sam says. + +"No, I go first!" Mira says. + +They both run to the slide. They push and pull each other. + +"Stop it!" Mira says. "You are not charming. You are mean." + +"Stop it!" Sam says. "You are not charming. You are bossy." + +They both insist on going first. They are not happy. They are not having fun. + +A lady sees them. She is a teacher. She works at the park. She smiles at them. + +"Hello, Super Mira and Super Sam!" she says. "What are you doing?" + +"We are playing superheroes!" Mira and Sam say. + +"That's wonderful!" the lady says. "But I see you are fighting over the slide. That's not very superhero-like. Superheroes are kind and share. They use their powers for good, not for bad. Do you want to be good superheroes?" + +Mira and Sam nod. They want to be good superheroes. + +"Then why don't you take turns on the slide?" the lady says. "You can both have fun and be friends. That's more charming than fighting, don't you think?" + +Mira and Sam think. They agree. They say sorry to each other. They hug. They take turns on the slide. They laugh and smile. They are happy. They are charming. They are good superheroes. +Lily and Sam love to play soccer. They are on the same team. The team has brown shirts and white shorts. Lily and Sam are good friends. They help each other on the field. + +One day, they have a big game. They play against another team. The other team has blue shirts and black shorts. Lily and Sam are excited. They want to win the game. They run and kick the ball. + +"Pass me the ball, Lily!" Sam shouts. + +"Here you go, Sam!" Lily says. She passes the ball to Sam. + +Sam dribbles the ball to the goal. He sees a gap. He shoots the ball. The ball goes in the net. Goal! + +Lily and Sam cheer. They hug each other. Their team mates join them. They are happy. They win the game. + +The other team is sad. They lose the game. But they are good sports. They shake hands with Lily and Sam and their team. They say "good game". + +Lily and Sam smile. They say "thank you". They are proud of their team. They are excited to play more soccer. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bike. Anna can ride the bike very well. She is intelligent. Ben wants to learn too. + +"Can you teach me how to ride the bike, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, Ben. I will help you. You have to sit on the seat and hold the handles. Then you have to push the pedals with your feet. That makes the bike go," Anna says. + +Ben tries to do what Anna says. He sits on the seat and holds the handles. He pushes the pedals with his feet. But he does not balance well. He falls off the bike. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" Ben says. + +Anna runs to him. She hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. You are brave. You can try again. But first, let me see your knee. Maybe you need a band-aid." + +She looks at his knee. It is bleeding. She sees something shiny in the wound. It is a piece of metal. It is from the tire. The tire has a hole. It is flat. + +"Oh, no! The tire is broken. It has a strike. That is why you fell. It is not your fault, Ben. It is the tire's fault," Anna says. + +She takes out the piece of metal. She throws it away. She gets a band-aid from her backpack. She puts it on Ben's knee. She kisses it. + +"There, there. It will be better soon. Do you want to play with the ball instead?" Anna asks. + +Ben nods. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You are kind. You are intelligent. You are the best." + +They play with the ball. They have fun. They forget about the bike and the tire. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to play with the leaves. + +"Let's scatter the leaves!" Lily said. "It will be fun!" + +They ran to the pile and kicked and threw the leaves. The leaves flew in the air. They made a lot of noise. They laughed and shouted. + +But they did not see the witch. The witch was hiding behind a tree. She did not like noise. She did not like children. She was angry. + +She came out of the tree and pointed her stick at Lily and Tom. She said a bad word. The word made Lily and Tom feel dizzy. They could not see well. They could not stand up. They fell on the ground. + +The witch smiled. She said, "That will teach you to scatter my leaves. Now you will sleep for a long time." + +She walked away. She left Lily and Tom on the ground. They did not wake up. They did not play. They did not have fun. +Tom and Lily liked to play on the porch. It was a big porch with a swing and a table and some chairs. They could see the garden and the street and the birds and the cars. + +One day, Tom and Lily found a hole in the swing. It was a big hole and they could not sit on it anymore. They were sad and they told their mom. + +Mom said, "Don't worry, I will replace the swing with a new one. It will be here tomorrow. You can play with something else today." + +Tom and Lily looked around the porch. They saw a box with some old toys. They opened the box and found a ball, a doll, a truck, and a puzzle. They decided to play with the toys and have fun. + +They threw the ball, they dressed the doll, they drove the truck, and they made the puzzle. They laughed and talked and sang. They made the porch lively and happy. + +Mom watched them from the window and smiled. She was glad they could have fun with anything. She thought they were very clever and creative. She loved them very much. +Lila and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lila was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran behind a big tree and waited for Lila to find him. He was very quiet and still. + +Lila looked around the park for Tom. She saw a swing, a slide, a bench, and a pond. But she did not see Tom. She wondered where he was. She called out, "Tom, where are you? I can't find you!" + +Tom heard Lila's voice and smiled. He thought he had a good hiding spot. He peeked out from behind the tree and saw Lila walking towards the pond. He decided to scare her. He waited until she was close to the water and then jumped out and shouted, "Boo!" + +Lila was so surprised and scared that she screamed and fell backwards. She landed on the edge of the pond and got wet. She saw Tom laughing and felt angry. She said, "Tom, that was not nice! You made me fall and get wet! You are a mean hider!" + +Tom stopped laughing and felt sorry. He saw that Lila was wet and sad. He said, "Lila, I'm sorry. I was just trying to have fun. I didn't mean to make you fall and get wet. You are a good seeker!" + +Lila looked at Tom and saw that he was sorry. She blinked and felt better. She said, "Tom, it's okay. I forgive you. But next time, don't scare me so much. You are a fearful hider!" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "Lila, thank you. I won't scare you so much next time. You are a brave seeker!" + +Lila and Tom hugged and made up. They decided to play another game. They saw a zigzag path that led to a hill. They said, "Let's race to the top of the hill!" + +They ran along the zigzag path, laughing and having fun. They were happy friends again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to watch the insects that crawled and flew around. They saw ants, bees, butterflies, and spiders. They were careful not to touch them, because some of them could bite or sting. + +One day, they saw a big insect that they had never seen before. It had a long body, six legs, and two wings. It was green and shiny, and it made a loud buzzing sound. Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to get closer. + +"Look, Lily, what is that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, Tom. It is very pretty, but also very noisy," Lily said. + +They followed the insect as it flew from one flower to another. They tried to be quiet, but the insect noticed them. It turned around and flew towards them. Tom and Lily were scared and ran away. + +"Help, help, it is coming after us!" Tom shouted. + +"Run, run, it is angry!" Lily cried. + +They ran back to the house and slammed the door behind them. They looked out of the window and saw the insect flying away. They were relieved and hugged each other. + +"That was a scary insect, Tom. I don't want to see it again," Lily said. + +"Me neither, Lily. I wonder what it was," Tom said. + +They asked their mom, who was in the kitchen. She looked at a book and showed them a picture. + +"That was a dragonfly, Tom and Lily. It is not a bad insect, but it can be very fast and loud. It was probably just curious about you, too. But it is better to watch it from a distance, and not to bother it," she said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned something new, but they also learned to be careful. They decided to watch the other insects that they knew and liked, and to leave the dragonfly alone. They were happy and not troubled anymore. +Lily and Tom are squirrels. They live in a big tree with their mom and dad. They like to play and find nuts in the forest. + +One day, they see a big sack on the ground. It is gray and has a hole in it. They are curious and go to look inside. + +"Wow, look at all these nuts!" Lily says. "They are big and shiny and yummy!" + +"Let's take some home!" Tom says. "Mom and dad will be happy!" + +They start to fill their cheeks with nuts. They do not see the man who owns the sack. He is hiding behind a bush. He is angry and wants his nuts back. + +He jumps out and grabs the sack. He shakes it hard and makes a loud noise. + +"Hey, you little thieves!" he yells. "Give me back my nuts!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They drop the nuts and run away. They hide in their tree and hug each other. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I'm okay," Tom says. "But that was scary!" + +They decide to never go near the gray sack again. They learn to find their own nuts in the forest. They are happy and safe. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their house. They have many toys and books and games. But they also like to explore. Sometimes they go to the attic. Sometimes they go to the basement. Sometimes they go to the garden. + +One day, they want to go to the attic. They know there are old things there. Maybe they can find something fun. They go to the stair that leads to the attic. The stair is wide and wooden. It has many steps. Anna and Ben start to climb. + +But when they are halfway up, they hear a loud noise. It is a bang. It comes from the attic. Anna and Ben are scared. They stop and look at each other. What is that noise? Is there someone in the attic? Is there a monster in the attic? + +They hear the noise again. It is louder and closer. Anna and Ben scream. They turn around and run down the stair. They are very fast. They do not want to meet the monster. They want to go to their mom and dad. + +But as they run, they trip and fall. They hit the stair hard. It hurts. They cry. They cry very loud. They cry for their mom and dad. + +Mom and dad hear them. They come to the stair. They see Anna and Ben on the floor. They are hurt and scared. They hug them and kiss them. They ask them what happened. + +Anna and Ben tell them about the noise. They say there is a monster in the attic. Mom and dad look at each other. They smile. They know what the noise is. It is not a monster. It is a bird. + +They tell Anna and Ben that there is a bird in the attic. It is a big bird. It is a crow. It likes to make noise. It likes to peck at things. It is not a bad bird. It is just a noisy bird. + +Anna and Ben are surprised. They are not scared anymore. They are curious. They want to see the bird. They ask mom and dad if they can go to the attic. Mom and dad say yes. They say they will go with them. They say they will be careful. + +They go to the attic. They see the bird. It is a big black bird. It has a shiny eye and a sharp beak. It makes a loud caw. Anna and Ben laugh. They think the bird is funny. They say hello to the bird. The bird says caw to them. They are friends. +Anna liked to help her mom bake cookies. She would mix the flour, the sugar, and the butter in a big bowl. Then she would roll the dough and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. She made stars, hearts, and circles. + +Mom put the cookies on a tray and put them in the oven. She told Anna to wait for the timer to beep. "Don't touch the oven, it's very hot," she said. Anna nodded and sat on a chair. She was humble and listened to her mom. + +But Anna was also curious. She wanted to see the cookies. She got up and walked to the oven. She opened the door a little bit and peeked inside. She saw the cookies getting brown and smelled the sweet aroma. She reached out her hand to touch one. + +"Anna, no!" Mom shouted. She ran to the oven and pulled Anna away. She closed the oven door and hugged Anna. "Are you okay, sweetie?" she asked. "That was very dangerous. You could have burned yourself." + +Anna felt sorry and scared. She started to cry. "I'm sorry, Mom," she said. "I just wanted to see the cookies. I won't do it again." Mom kissed her and wiped her tears. "It's okay, Anna," she said. "I know you were excited. But you have to be careful. The oven is not a toy. It's only for grown-ups." Anna nodded and hugged her mom. She learned her lesson. She was humble and listened to her mom. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy sail. They put it in the big tub and watch it go with the wind. Sometimes they make noises like a boat or a fish. They have fun with their sail. + +One day, the wind is very strong. It blows the sail out of the tub and into the air. Anna and Ben run after it, but they cannot catch it. They see it fly over the fence and into the street. They are worried. They want their sail back. + +"Mommy, mommy, our sail is gone!" they cry. Mommy comes out and sees what happened. She hugs them and says, "Don't worry, my loves. We will find your sail. Come, let's go and look for it." + +They go to the street and look around. They see cars and bikes and people, but no sail. They wonder where it went. They ask some people if they saw it, but no one did. They are sad. They miss their sail. + +Then, they hear a voice. "Hey, kids, is this yours?" They turn and see a man holding their sail. He smiles and says, "I found it on the roof of my car. It must have landed there when the wind blew it. It's a nice sail. Do you want it back?" + +Anna and Ben are happy. They run to the man and say, "Yes, yes, thank you, mister! That's our sail! We love it!" They take their sail and hug it. They thank the man again and again. He says, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad I could help. Have fun with your sail." + +They go back to their mommy and show her their sail. She is happy too. She says, "What a lucky day! You found your sail and made a new friend. Now, let's go home and play with it some more." They nod and smile. They hold their sail and their mommy's hand. They are happy. They love their sail. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new path in the park. It goes into the woods. They want to see where it goes. + +"Let's try the new path," Lily says. + +"OK, but be careful," Tom says. + +They hold hands and walk on the path. They see birds and flowers and bugs. They hear a stream and a squirrel. They are happy. + +But then, the path gets dark and twisty. They can't see the park anymore. They are lost. + +"I'm scared," Lily says. + +"Me too," Tom says. + +They hug each other and cry. They don't know what to do. + +Then, they hear a bark. It is a dog. It is brown and fluffy. It has a collar with a tag. It says "Rex". + +"Hello, dog," Lily says. + +"Maybe he can help us," Tom says. + +They pet the dog and talk to him. The dog wags his tail and licks their faces. He is friendly and helpful. He barks and runs ahead. He wants them to follow him. + +"Let's go with the dog," Lily says. + +"Maybe he knows the way back," Tom says. + +They follow the dog on the path. He leads them to a house. It is his house. His owner is there. She is a nice lady. She sees Lily and Tom and smiles. + +"Hello, children," she says. "Are you lost?" + +"Yes, we are," Lily says. + +"We tried the new path in the park, but we got lost," Tom says. + +"Don't worry, I can help you," she says. "Rex is a good dog. He found you and brought you here. He is very helpful." + +She gives them cookies and milk. She calls their parents. She tells them where they are. She waits with them until their parents come. They are happy and grateful. + +They hug the lady and the dog. They say thank you. They go back to the park with their parents. They don't try the new path again. They play on the swings and the slide. They are safe and happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their stuff in the garden. They had a big box of stuff with dolls, cars, balls and books. They shared their stuff and had fun. + +One day, Lily and Ben saw a new girl in the garden. She had long hair and a pink dress. She was holding a teddy bear. Lily and Ben wanted to say hello and play with her. + +"Hi, I'm Lily and this is Ben. What's your name?" Lily asked. + +"I'm Mia. I just moved here with my mom and dad. Can I play with you?" Mia said. + +"Sure, you can play with us. We have a lot of stuff. Do you like stuff?" Ben said. + +"I like stuff, but I miss my old stuff. I had to leave it behind when we moved. I had a dollhouse, a train set, a puzzle and a book of stories. I remember playing with them every day. They made me happy." Mia said. + +Lily and Ben felt sad for Mia. They knew how it felt to miss something. They wanted to make her feel better. + +"You can play with our stuff. We have dolls, cars, balls and books. Maybe you will like them too. And we can be your new friends. We will make you happy." Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very nice. Can I share my teddy bear with you? He is my only old stuff that I have. He is very soft and cuddly. He makes me feel peaceful." Mia said. + +"Of course, you can share your teddy bear with us. He looks very cute. We like soft and cuddly things. They make us feel peaceful too." Ben said. + +Lily, Ben and Mia played with their stuff and the teddy bear. They laughed and talked and had fun. They felt happy and peaceful. They forgot about their old stuff and their new stuff. They only remembered their new friendship. +Ben likes trucks. He has many trucks in his room. He plays with them every day. He makes them go vroom vroom and beep beep. He likes to pretend he is a truck driver. + +One day, he sees a big truck outside his window. It is red and shiny. It has a long trailer. It is a friendly truck. Ben wants to talk to it. He runs to the door and puts on his shoes. + +"Mommy, can I go outside?" he asks. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. Don't go too far," Mommy says. + +Ben goes outside. He sees the truck driver. He is a friendly man. He smiles at Ben. + +"Hi, little boy. Do you like my truck?" he asks. + +"Yes, I do. It is a nice truck. Can I call it?" Ben says. + +"Call it? What do you mean?" the truck driver says. + +"Like this," Ben says. He makes a loud noise with his mouth. "Beep beep! Beep beep!" + +The truck driver laughs. He likes Ben. He honks his horn. "Beep beep! Beep beep!" + +Ben is happy. He laughs too. He calls the truck again. "Beep beep! Beep beep!" + +The truck driver and Ben have fun. They call the truck together. The truck is happy too. It beeps back. It is a friendly truck. +Lisa and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But their favorite thing is to jump on the bed. They think it is fun and funny. + +One day, they decide to make a game. They want to see who can jump higher and farther. They prepare the bed for the game. They take off the pillows and the blanket. They move the bed away from the wall. They make sure the mattress is flexible and soft. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Lisa asks. + +"Yes, I am ready, Lisa," Ben answers. + +They take turns to jump on the bed. They count how many times they can bounce. They try to land on different parts of the mattress. They laugh and cheer each other. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is coming to their room. She is not happy. + +"Lisa and Ben, what are you doing?" she asks. "You are making too much noise. And you are ruining the bed. You are not supposed to jump on the mattress. It is for sleeping, not for playing." + +Lisa and Ben stop jumping. They feel sorry. They did not mean to make mom angry. They say sorry to mom. They help her fix the bed. They put back the pillows and the blanket. They move the bed to the wall. + +Mom hugs them and kisses them. She is not angry anymore. She loves them very much. She tells them to play quietly and nicely. She gives them some books and puzzles. She says she will come back later to read them a story. + +Lisa and Ben nod and smile. They love mom very much. They play with their books and puzzles. They do not jump on the bed anymore. They wait for mom to come back. They are happy and good. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom was a lion and Lily was a giraffe. They roared and stretched their necks and chased each other around the couch. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Lily said, laughing. "You can't catch me, lion!" + +"Yes, I can, giraffe!" Tom said, running after her. "You are too slow!" + +They ran and ran until Lily felt something in her tummy. She needed to go to the bathroom. She stopped and said to Tom, "Tom, I have to go to the bathroom. Can you wait for me?" + +Tom nodded and said, "OK, Lily. I will wait for you. Hurry up, OK?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very generous. I will be back soon." + +She ran to the bathroom and closed the door. Tom sat on the floor and waited for her. He looked at their toys and decided to share them with Lily when she came back. He was very generous too. He liked playing with Lily. She was his best friend. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to bounce on the big ball. It was red and shiny and made a funny sound when they jumped on it. + +"Look, Lily, there is a vine!" Tom said, pointing to a green rope that hung from a tree. "Let's swing on it!" + +Lily nodded and ran to the vine. She grabbed it with both hands and swung back and forth. She felt like a bird in the air. She laughed and shouted, "Whee!" + +Tom followed her and took the vine. He swung higher and higher. He saw a big house on the hill. It had many windows and a big gate. He wondered who lived there. + +"Who do you think lives in that house?" he asked Lily. + +Lily looked at the house. She saw a car and a dog and a pool. She thought it looked very nice. + +"Maybe a rich person lives there," she said. "Maybe they have many toys and books and candy." + +Tom nodded. He thought that too. He wished he could see the house up close. + +"Maybe we can go there someday," he said. + +Lily smiled. She liked that idea. But she also liked the park. She liked to bounce and swing and play with Tom. + +"Maybe," she said. "But I like it here too. This is fun." + +They let go of the vine and ran back to the ball. They bounced and bounced until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the park and to each other. They were happy. +Tom was a lonely boy. He had no friends to play with at school. He only liked to draw and read books. The other kids said he was weird and boring. They did not want to talk to him or share toys with him. + +One day, Tom found a bottle of lotion in his mom's bag. He was curious. He opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled nice, like flowers and honey. He put some lotion on his hands and rubbed them. They felt soft and smooth. He liked the lotion. + +He decided to take the bottle to school. He thought maybe the other kids would like the lotion too. Maybe they would want to be his friends. He put the bottle in his backpack and went to school. + +At recess, he took out the bottle and showed it to some kids. He said, "Look, I have lotion. It smells nice and makes your hands soft. Do you want to try some?" + +The kids looked at him and laughed. They said, "Lotion? That's for girls and babies. You are so silly and dumb. Why do you have lotion? Go away, we don't want to play with you." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He said, "No, you are mean and rude. Lotion is for everyone. It is good and fun. You don't know anything. I don't want to play with you either." + +He ran away with his bottle. He went to a corner of the playground and sat down. He quit trying to make friends. He thought no one liked him or his lotion. He felt very lonely. He wished he had someone to share his lotion with. He wished he had a friend. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their dad. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But their dad liked to jog around the park. He said it was good for his health. + +"Can we jog with you, dad?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, why not? But you have to keep up with me, okay?" dad said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran after their dad. They jogged on the grass, on the path and on the bridge. They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds and dogs. They also saw a big pitch where some boys were playing soccer. + +"Wow, look at them!" Lily said. "They are so fast and strong. Can we play with them, dad?" + +Dad shook his head. "No, Lily. They are too big and rough for you. And they might not want to share their ball. Let's jog some more, okay?" + +Tom and Lily agreed and jogged with their dad. They did not mind that they could not play soccer. They were happy to jog with their dad and see the park. They thought it was an ordinary but fun day. +Lila and Ben love to go to the lake with their grandma. Grandma is elderly, but she is very fun. She has a kayak that she lets Lila and Ben use. They take turns to paddle the kayak on the water. + +One day, Lila and Ben see a big duck on the lake. They want to get closer to the duck. They paddle the kayak towards the duck. The duck is not happy. It quacks loudly and flaps its wings. + +"Be careful!" grandma warns them from the shore. "The duck might bite you!" + +Lila and Ben do not listen. They think the duck is funny. They paddle closer and closer. The duck gets angry. It snaps its beak at the kayak. It makes a hole in the kayak. + +"Oh no!" Lila and Ben cry. "The kayak is leaking!" + +They paddle quickly back to the shore. Grandma helps them out of the kayak. She is not angry, but she is worried. + +"I told you to be careful," she says. "The duck was trying to protect its nest. You should not bother the duck." + +Lila and Ben are sorry. They hug grandma and say sorry. They promise to listen to her next time. Grandma smiles and hugs them back. She says she loves them. They love her too. They decide to play with the sand instead of the kayak. They make a castle for the duck. The duck is happy. It quacks softly and sits on its nest. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of cars, dolls, blocks and books. They like to make up stories and pretend they are different people. + +One day, they decide to play doctor and patient. Sara is the doctor and Ben is the patient. Sara has a white coat, a stethoscope and a clipboard. Ben has a bandage on his arm, a thermometer in his mouth and a teddy bear to hug. + +"Hello, patient," Sara says. "I am Doctor Sara. What is wrong with you?" + +"I have a boo-boo on my arm," Ben says. "It hurts a lot. And I have a fever. And I feel sad." + +"Oh, no," Sara says. "That is very bad. I need to fix you. Let me check your arm first." + +Sara looks at Ben's arm. She sees that the bandage is old and dirty. It has holes and stains. It is falling off. It is very ugly. + +"Yuck," Sara says. "This bandage is ugly. It is not good for your boo-boo. We need to change it. Where is the tape?" + +Ben looks around. He does not see the tape. He remembers that he used it to make a rocket with a cardboard box and some paper. He left the rocket in his room. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe in my room." + +Sara and Ben rush to Ben's room. They see the rocket on the floor. It has tape all over it. It looks very cool. + +"Wow," Sara says. "You made a rocket. That is awesome. But we need the tape for your arm. Can we take some?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes his rocket. He does not want to ruin it. But he also wants to get better. He knows that Sara is a good doctor. He trusts her. + +"Okay," Ben says. "You can take some. But be careful. Don't break my rocket." + +Sara nods. She takes some tape from the rocket. She is careful. She does not break it. She goes back to the living room with Ben. She puts a new bandage on his arm. She uses the tape to make it stick. It looks clean and nice. + +"There," Sara says. "Now your arm is better. How do you feel?" + +Ben feels his arm. It does not hurt anymore. He smiles. + +"I feel better," Ben says. "Thank you, Doctor Sara. You are the best." + +Sara smiles too. She hugs Ben. + +"You are welcome, patient Ben. You are very brave. And you have a great rocket." + +They laugh and play some more. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a thin smile. Lily took Anna everywhere with her. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring Anna, but mom said no. Mom said Anna might get lost or dirty at the store. Lily was sad, but she listened to mom. She put Anna on the shelf in her room, next to her other dolls. She gave Anna a hug and said, "I'll be back soon, Anna. Don't be lonely." + +At the store, Lily saw many things. She saw fruits, vegetables, bread, milk, eggs and cookies. She saw toys, books, clothes and shoes. She saw people, carts, baskets and bags. She saw a lot of things, but she missed Anna. + +When Lily and mom came back home, Lily ran to her room. She wanted to see Anna and play with her. But when she got to the shelf, Anna was not there. Lily looked around, but she could not find Anna. She felt scared and sad. She cried, "Anna, where are you? Anna, come back!" + +Then, she heard a voice. It was Anna's voice. It came from under the bed. Lily looked under the bed and saw Anna. Anna was dirty and had a tear in her dress. She looked sad, too. She said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I wanted to go with you to the store. I jumped off the shelf and hid in your backpack. But when you got to the store, I fell out of your backpack and rolled under a cart. I was scared and lost. I tried to find you, but I couldn't. Then, a nice lady found me and brought me back to your house. She said she knew you and gave me to your mom. Your mom put me under the bed and said she would wash me and fix me later. She said you would be happy to see me. Lily, are you happy to see me?" + +Lily was happy to see Anna. She was also sorry that Anna had a bad adventure. She said, "Anna, I'm happy to see you. I missed you a lot. I'm sorry you were scared and lost. I'm glad the nice lady brought you back. You are my best friend. I love you, Anna." She hugged Anna and kissed her. She said, "Welcome back, Anna. Welcome back to my room, to my shelf, to my heart." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car. They liked to take turns driving the car around the room and making noises. + +One day, their mom said, "I have to leave for a while. I need to go to the store and buy some food. You two stay here and play nicely. I will be back soon." + +Tom and Lily said, "Okay, mom. We will be good. Have fun at the store." + +Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, my loves. I am proud of you. Be careful and don't make a mess." She gave them a hug and a kiss and left. + +Tom and Lily decided to play with the car. But they both wanted to drive it at the same time. They started to fight and pull the car. + +"Give me the car! It's my turn!" Tom shouted. + +"No, it's mine! I want to drive it!" Lily yelled. + +They pulled and pushed and made a lot of noise. They knocked over some books and a lamp. They made a big mess. + +They did not hear mom come back. She opened the door and saw the chaos. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked in a loud voice. "Why are you fighting? Where is the peace?" + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked at mom. They felt bad. They knew they had done wrong. + +"We are sorry, mom," they said. "We wanted to play with the car, but we could not share. We forgot to be nice." + +Mom sighed and said, "You need to learn to share and take turns. The car is for both of you. You can have more fun if you play together. Fighting is not good. It makes you and me sad. Next time, I want you to be kind and quiet. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We can do that. We love you." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too. Now, let's clean up this mess and then we can have a snack. And maybe later, we can all play with the car." + +Tom and Lily hugged mom and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. You are the best." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "You are welcome. You are the best too. And I am proud of you for saying sorry and being honest. Now, let's have some peace and fun." +Sara was dull. She had no one to play with. Her toys were old and boring. She wanted to go outside, but it was raining. She looked out the window and sighed. + +Then she heard a voice. It was soft and sweet. It said, "Hello, Sara. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Sara turned around and saw a bright light. It was a spirit. It had no body, but it had a face and a smile. It floated in the air and sparkled. + +Sara was scared at first, but the spirit looked kind. She said, "Who are you? Where did you come from?" + +The spirit said, "I am a fairy. I come from the land of magic. I saw you were dull, so I came to tell you a story. Do you like stories?" + +Sara nodded. She loved stories. She said, "Yes, please. Tell me a story." + +The spirit smiled and said, "Okay. Come closer and listen. I will tell you a story about a princess, a dragon, and a brave knight. It is a very exciting story. Are you ready?" + +Sara nodded again. She forgot about the rain and the toys. She moved closer to the spirit and listened. The spirit told her a story that made her laugh and gasp and wonder. Sara was not dull anymore. She was happy. She had a new friend. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to watch films on the big TV. They have many films to choose from. They can watch films about animals, or cars, or princesses, or superheroes. + +One day, Tom and Lily want to watch a new film. It is a film about a rich man who has a big house and many toys. He is very happy, but he is also very mean. He does not share his toys with anyone. He does not have any friends. + +Tom and Lily prepare to watch the film. They get some popcorn and juice. They sit on the sofa and turn on the TV. They press play. + +The film starts. They see the rich man in his big house. He has a big car, a big plane, a big boat, and a big robot. He plays with his toys all day. He laughs and smiles. + +But then, something bad happens. The rich man's toys break. His car stops. His plane crashes. His boat sinks. His robot explodes. He is very sad and angry. He cries and shouts. + +Tom and Lily feel sorry for the rich man. They think he is lonely. They talk to each other. + +"Maybe he should share his toys with other people," Tom says. + +"Yes, maybe then he would have friends," Lily says. + +They watch the film. They hope the rich man will learn to share and be nice. They wonder what will happen next. They eat their popcorn and drink their juice. They enjoy the film. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. But sometimes they fought over who got to play with what. Tom liked cars and Lily liked dolls, but they both wanted the big red ball. + +One day, they saw a new kid in the park. His name was Ben and he had a lot of toys. He had cars and dolls and balls and more. Tom and Lily were jealous of Ben. They wanted to play with his toys, but he said no. He said they were his toys and he did not want to share. + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They did not like Ben. They wanted to make him go away. They had an idea. They decided to unite and play a trick on him. They pretended to be friends with him and asked him to play pass with the big red ball. Ben agreed and threw the ball to Tom. Tom caught the ball and ran away with it. He gave it to Lily and she ran away too. They laughed and said they had the ball now and Ben had nothing. + +Ben was shocked and hurt. He did not understand why Tom and Lily did that. He felt lonely and sad. He wished he had friends to play with. He did not care about his toys anymore. + +Tom and Lily soon got bored of the ball. They realized it was not fun to play with it alone. They also felt bad for Ben. They saw him sitting on a bench, looking sad. They felt sorry for him. They decided to give the ball back to him and say sorry. They walked up to him and said, "We are sorry, Ben. We were mean to you. We were jealous of your toys. Can we be friends?" + +Ben looked up and saw Tom and Lily holding the ball. He smiled and said, "Yes, I forgive you. I was lonely and I wanted friends too. Can we play together?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and handed him the ball. They said, "Yes, let's play together. We can share our toys and have fun." + +Ben, Tom and Lily became friends. They played pass with the ball and with the other toys. They learned to share and be kind. They were happy and had fun. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a bucket and a shovel each. Sara found a big worm and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, a worm!" she said. + +"Wow, it is long and wiggly!" Tom said. He touched it with his finger and it moved. + +"Can we keep it?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe we can ask Mom," Tom said. + +They put the worm in the bucket and went to find Mom. She was in the kitchen, making a cake. She smiled when she saw them. + +"Hi, kids. What do you have there?" she asked. + +"A worm, Mom. We found it in the garden. Can we keep it?" Sara said. + +Mom looked at the bucket and saw the worm. She made a face. + +"A worm? I don't think that's a good idea, kids. Worms need to live in the dirt, not in a bucket. They help the plants grow. And they might get sick or die if you keep them," she said. + +"But we like the worm, Mom. It is fun to watch it move," Tom said. + +"I know, kids, but it's not fair to the worm. Why don't you put it back in the garden and find something else to play with? Maybe you can draw a picture of the worm or make a clay worm," Mom said. + +She gave them some paper and crayons and some clay. Sara and Tom nodded and went back to the garden. They put the worm back in the dirt and said goodbye to it. + +"Bye, worm. Have a nice day," Sara said. + +"Bye, worm. Sorry we took you," Tom said. + +They drew a picture of the worm and made a clay worm. They were proud of their work and showed it to Mom. + +"Look, Mom, we made a worm!" Sara said. + +"That's very nice, kids. You are very creative," Mom said. + +She put their picture and clay worm on the fridge. She gave them a hug and a kiss. + +"I have some good news for you, kids. Your aunt is coming to visit us tomorrow. She is bringing a surprise for you. Do you want to know what it is?" she said. + +Sara and Tom loved their aunt. She was funny and kind and always brought them gifts. They were excited to see her. + +"Yes, Mom, what is it?" they said. + +Mom smiled and whispered in their ears. + +"It's a puppy!" she said. + +Sara and Tom gasped. They loved puppies. They wanted a puppy for a long time. + +"A puppy? Really, Mom? A real puppy?" they said. + +"Yes, a real puppy. Your aunt found a puppy that needed a home and she thought of you. She said it's very cute and friendly and loves to play. But you have to promise to take good care of it and follow some rules," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom nodded eagerly. They promised to take good care of the puppy and follow the rules. + +"Thank you, Mom. Thank you, aunt. We can't wait to meet the puppy," they said. + +They hugged Mom and ran to their room. They talked about the puppy and what they would name it and how they would play with it. They were very happy. + +The next day, their aunt arrived. She had a big box with holes in it. She put it on the floor and opened it. Out came a small, fluffy, brown puppy. It wagged its tail and licked their faces. Sara and Tom squealed with joy. They hugged the puppy and their aunt. + +"Hello, kids. Hello, puppy. I'm so glad to see you. This is your new friend. His name is Spot. He likes to run and jump and fetch. He also likes to cuddle and nap. He is very smart and sweet. Do you like him?" their aunt said. + +"We love him, aunt. He is the best puppy ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you," Sara and Tom said. + +They played with Spot for a long time. They threw a ball and he chased it. They gave him a bone and he chewed it. They brushed his fur and he purred. They put a collar and a leash on him and took him for a walk. He sniffed everything and made friends with other dogs. He was very happy. + +They came back home and gave Spot some water and food. He drank and ate and then curled up on a blanket. He was tired from all the fun. Sara and Tom cuddled with him and told him stories. They were tired too. + +Mom and aunt watched them and smiled. They were glad to see them so happy. + +"They are such good kids. And Spot is such a good puppy. He +Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play in the jungle. They liked to climb trees, swing on vines and look for animals. One day, they saw a wide river with many fish and frogs. They wanted to cross the river, but there was no bridge. + +"Let's make a raft with some logs and leaves," Sam said. He was good at making things. He found some logs and tied them together with vines. He put some leaves on top to make it soft. "Now we can cross the river," he said. + +Lila and Sam pushed the raft into the water and climbed on. They used sticks to paddle. They were having fun, but then they hit a big rock. The raft broke and they fell into the water. Lila and Sam swam to the shore, but they were wet and cold. Lila had a cut on her knee from the rock. It hurt and bled. + +"Are you okay, Lila?" Sam asked. He was worried about his friend. + +"I'm okay, Sam, but my knee hurts," Lila said. She looked at her wound and cried. + +"Don't cry, Lila. I'll help you heal your knee," Sam said. He was kind and brave. He looked around and saw some plants with yellow flowers. He remembered that his mom had told him that these plants were good for healing. He picked some of the flowers and squeezed them. They made a sticky juice. He put the juice on Lila's knee and wrapped it with a leaf. + +"There, that should help," he said. "The juice will make your knee feel better and stop the bleeding. The leaf will keep it clean and dry." + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend," Lila said. She smiled and hugged him. She felt better and less scared. + +They decided to go back to their homes and tell their moms what had happened. They walked along the river, holding hands. They saw a rainbow in the sky and felt happy. They had learned a lot from their adventure in the jungle. They had learned how to make a raft, how to swim, how to heal a wound and how to be good friends. +Lily and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed the ducks, but Ben wanted to splash in the water. + +"Can I splash, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Not too much, Ben. You might get wet and cold," mom said. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the edge of the pond and kicked the water with his feet. He made big splashes that reached the ducks and the fish. The ducks quacked and the fish swam away. + +Lily was angry. She liked the ducks and the fish. She wanted to watch them and talk to them. She did not like Ben's splashes. + +"Stop it, Ben! You are scaring the ducks and the fish!" Lily shouted. + +But Ben did not stop. He laughed and splashed more. He thought it was fun. + +Then, Lily had an idea. She saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and ran to Ben. She waved the stick in the air and made a fierce face. + +"Roar! I am a lion and you are a zebra! I will catch you and eat you!" Lily said. + +Ben was surprised. He saw Lily's stick and fierce face. He was scared. He stopped splashing and ran away. + +Lily chased him around the pond. She roared and waved her stick. Ben screamed and ran faster. + +Mom saw them and smiled. She knew they were playing. She was happy they were having fun. + +She called them and said, "Come on, kids. It's time to go home. You can splash and dance and be fierce another day." +Jazz is a cat.

They run and jump and slide and swing. They see other kids and other cats. They say hello and play. + +But then, Jazz sees a bird. The bird is on a tree. It is brown and small and sings. Jazz likes birds. He wants to catch the bird. He runs to the tree. He climbs the tree. He tries to catch the bird. + +"Jazz, come back!" Sam calls. He runs to the tree. He looks up. He sees Jazz on the tree. He sees the bird on the tree. He is scared. He does not want Jazz to fall. He does not want the bird to be hurt. He says, "Jazz, please come down. Please be nice to the bird. Please be quiet." + +Jazz hears Sam. He looks down. He sees Sam. He sees his face. He is sad and scared. Jazz loves Sam. He does not want to make him sad and scared. He stops trying to catch the bird. He says, "Meow, meow, meow." He means, "I am sorry, Sam. I will come down. I will be nice to the bird. I will be quiet." + +Jazz comes down from the tree. He jumps to the ground. He runs to Sam. He rubs his head on Sam's leg. He purrs. He says, "Meow, meow, meow." He means, "I love you, Sam. You are my friend.

Mommy and Daddy said she could sleep there by herself. Lila was proud of her bed. It had pink sheets and a soft blanket. + +But Lila was also a little scared. She missed Mommy and Daddy in the night. She heard noises outside and in the dark. She wanted to cuddle with them and feel safe. + +One night, Lila got out of her bed and tiptoed to Mommy and Daddy's room. She opened the door and saw them sleeping. She whispered, "Mommy, Daddy, can I sleep with you?" + +Mommy and Daddy woke up and saw Lila. They smiled and hugged her.

The octopus was in a big tank of water. It had eight long arms and a round head. It was funny and smart. + +The octopus liked to play with the children. It would come close to the glass and make faces at them. It would also bounce a ball with its arms. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped. They wanted to bounce the ball with the octopus too. + +"Can we play with the octopus, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry, honey, we can't go inside the tank. The octopus needs water to breathe, and we need air. But we can wave and talk to it," Mom said. + +"Hi, octopus! You are so funny and cool! Can you bounce the ball again?" Ben said. + +The octopus heard Ben and smiled. It bounced the ball high and low, fast and slow. It even bounced it on its head. Lily and Ben cheered and waved. They had so much fun with the octopus.

It is my favorite car," Sam said. + +Tom took the car and played with it. He made it zoom and beep and crash. He had so much fun that he forgot to give it back to Sam. + +The next day, Sam came to Tom's house to play. He looked for his car in Tom's toy box, but he could not find it. + +"Where is my car, Tom?" Sam asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe you left it at home," Tom lied. + +"No, I did not. I remember you borrowed it yesterday. You are a thief, Tom! You stole my car!" Sam shouted. + +Tom felt uncomfortable. He knew he did something bad. He did not want to lose his friend. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I did not mean to steal your car. I just liked it so much. Here, you can have it back," Tom said. He took the car from under his bed and gave it to Sam. + +Sam was still angry, but he also felt sorry for Tom. He knew Tom liked the car too. + +"Thank you, Tom. But you should not lie or take things that are not yours. That is not nice. Next time, you can ask me to share, and I will let you play with my car sometimes. But you have to give it back when I ask you. Do you understand?" Sam said. + +"Yes, I understand. I'm sorry, Sam. Can we still be friends?" Tom said. + +Sam nodded. He hugged Tom and smiled. + +"Yes, we can still be friends. But don't be a thief again, okay?" Sam said. + +"Okay, I won't. I promise," Tom said. + +They put the car in the toy box and played with other toys. They were happy again. They learned to be honest and kind. +Anna and Ben are friends.

Do you want to see how it zooms?" + +Ben looks at Lila's car and feels envious. He wants a car like that too. He says, "Yes, let me see." He takes Lila's car and zooms it on the floor.

She is very sad and angry. + +Ben says, "I'm sorry, Lila. I didn't mean to break it. I just wanted to try it. It was so shiny and red and fast. I was envious of your car." + +Lila says, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you should not be envious of my car. You have many cars too. They are also shiny and fast and cool. And you are my friend. We can share our cars and play together." + +Ben says, "You are right, Lila. I have many cars and you are my friend. I'm sorry I was envious of your car. Can we still play together?" + +Lila says, "Yes, we can still play together. But let's be careful with our cars. And let's go to the kitchen and have some sauce. Mom made some sauce for us. It is yummy and sweet. Do you like sauce?" + +Ben says, "I love sauce! Let's go and have some sauce. And then we can zoom our cars again. But gently this time. Vroom, vroom, vroom!" +Anna liked to mark on things with her crayons. She marked on paper, on the wall, on her toys. She thought it was fun to make colors and shapes.

She called for Anna. "Anna, where are you? What did you do to the mirror?" She looked around the house and found Anna under the bed. She pulled her out and took her to the bathroom. "Look what you did, Anna. You marked on the mirror. That is not good. You have to say sorry and help me clean it." + +Anna felt sorry. She did not mean to make her mom mad. She said sorry and hugged her mom. Her mom hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Anna. I love you. But you have to be careful with your crayons. You can only mark on paper, not on the mirror or the wall or your toys. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will be careful with my crayons. Can I help you clean the mirror?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Let's get some soap and water and a cloth. We can make the mirror shiny again." + +They worked together to clean the mirror. Anna learned her lesson. She did not mark on the mirror again. She only marked on paper and showed her mom her drawings. Her mom was proud of her and gave her a sticker. Anna was happy. She loved her mom and her crayons. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, it rains a lot. The water goes up and up. It makes a flood. + +Anna and Ben observe the flood from the window. They see many things in the water. They see a car, a bike, a ball, and a duck. The duck is pink. It is not a real duck. It is a toy duck. + +"Look, Ben! A pink duck!" Anna says. She likes the duck. She wants to have it. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He likes the duck too. He wants to share it with Anna. + +They run to the door. They want to go outside and get the duck. But their mom stops them. + +"Stop, Anna and Ben! It is not safe to go outside. The flood is dangerous. You can get hurt. You have to stay inside until the water goes down." Mom says. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They look at the pink duck.

And you love the bird. But the dish was not a real bird. The dish could not sing with you. The dish was only a dish. You have to be careful with dishes. They can break easily.

Do you want some?" + +Ben nodded and reached for the basket. But he did not take one toy or one snack. He took all of them and ran away. + +Lily and Tom were shocked and sad. They chased after Ben and shouted, "Hey, stop! That's not nice! That's selfish! Give us back our basket!" + +Ben did not listen. He kept running until he tripped on a rock and fell. The basket flew out of his hands and the toys and snacks spilled on the ground. + +Lily and Tom caught up with him. They saw him crying and holding his knee. They felt sorry for him. They said, "Are you okay? That must have hurt." + +Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry. I was selfish. I wanted to play with you, but I took all your things. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other and nodded. They said, "We forgive you. But you have to learn to share and be nice. Do you want to play with us now?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, please. Can I have a snack?" + +Lily and Tom smiled and said, "Sure, you can have a snack. But only one. And you have to share the toys with us." + +Ben agreed and said, "Okay, I will share. Thank you for being kind to me." + +They picked up the basket and the toys and snacks. They sat on the grass and ate and played together. They became friends and had a lot of fun. +Sara loves gum. She likes to chew it and blow big bubbles. But one day, she made a big mistake. She put too much gum in her mouth and it got stuck in her hair. + +"Mommy, help me!" Sara cried. "The gum is in my hair and it hurts!" + +Mommy came and saw the mess. She was angry. She had told Sara many times not to chew too much gum. + +"Sara, you are very naughty. You did not listen to me. Now you have to suffer. I have to cut your hair to get the gum out. It will look very bad." + +Mommy took scissors and cut Sara's hair. Sara felt sad and scared. She did not want to lose her hair. She liked her long hair. + +"Mommy, please don't cut my hair. I'm sorry. I won't chew gum again. Please, please, please." + +But it was too late. Mommy had cut all the gum out of Sara's hair. Sara looked in the mirror and saw her hair. It was very short and uneven. She did not like it at all. + +She started to cry. She wished she had listened to Mommy. She learned a hard lesson. Gum is not always fun. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They went to the same school and wore the same uniform: a blue shirt, a red skirt or pants, and black shoes. They had many friends at school, but they also had a secret plan. + +They wanted to go to the zoo and see the animals. They loved animals, especially the lions, the monkeys, and the penguins. They had a book with pictures of animals that they looked at every night before bed. They asked their mom and dad to take them to the zoo, but they always said no. They said it was too far, too expensive, or too crowded. + +One day, Tom and Lily decided to go to the zoo by themselves. They woke up early, put on their uniform, and packed their backpacks with snacks, water, and the book of animals. They told their mom and dad they were going to school, but they sneaked out of the house and took the bus to the zoo. + +They were very excited when they arrived at the zoo. They saw the lions roaring, the monkeys swinging, and the penguins sliding. They ate their snacks, drank their water, and read their book. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a big mistake. + +They forgot to check the time. They stayed at the zoo for too long, and they missed their bus back home. They started to feel scared and sorry. They did not know what to do. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. + +They saw a lady who worked at the zoo. She wore a green uniform and a hat. She looked kind and friendly. They went to her and told her their problem. She said, "Don't worry, I will help you. What are your names and where do you live?" + +They told her their names and their address. She said, "You are very brave, but also very naughty. You should not have come to the zoo without your parents. They must be very worried about you. I will call them and tell them where you are. Then I will take you to the gate and wait for them to pick you up." + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed and grateful. They said, "Thank you, miss. We are sorry for our plan. We will never do it again. We love the zoo, but we love our mom and dad more." + +The lady smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tom and Lily. I love the zoo too, but I also love my family. I am glad you like the animals, but you should always be careful and follow the rules. The zoo is a wonderful place, but it can also be dangerous. And you know what? I am a little envious of you. You have a twin who shares your dreams and adventures. That is very special. You should always be kind and loyal to each other." + +Tom and Lily hugged each other and said, "We will, miss. We are lucky to have a twin. And we are lucky to have you. You are very nice and helpful. Thank you for saving us." + +The lady hugged them back and said, "You are very welcome, Tom and Lily. You are very sweet and smart. I hope you learned your lesson. And I hope you will come back to the zoo someday, but with your mom and dad. They will be happy to see the animals with you. And I will be happy to see you again." + +The end. +Lily liked ponies very much. She had a toy pony that she played with every day. She named it Pinky, because it was pink and had a pink mane and tail. She brushed its hair and pretended to ride it in her room. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a real pony there, with a man who let kids ride it for some money. Lily wanted to ride the pony, so she asked her mom and dad. They said yes, and gave the man some money. Lily was very happy. + +She climbed on the pony's back, and the man held the pony's rope. The pony walked around the park, and Lily felt like a princess. She smiled and waved at the other kids and parents. She liked the pony's soft fur and warm breath. + +But then, something weird happened. The pony stopped walking, and turned its head to look at Lily. It opened its mouth, and pinched Lily's arm with its teeth. Lily felt a sharp pain, and screamed. "Ow! Ow! Ow! The pony bit me!" she cried. + +The man quickly pulled the pony away, and apologized to Lily and her parents. He said the pony was usually nice, but sometimes got grumpy. He gave them their money back, and said he was sorry. Lily's mom and dad hugged her, and checked her arm. It was red and sore, but not bleeding. They said they would put some ice on it when they got home. + +Lily was sad and scared. She didn't like the pony anymore. She wanted her toy pony, Pinky. She asked her mom and dad if they could go home. They said yes, and took her to the car. Lily held Pinky in her arms, and felt better. She decided she would only ride toy ponies from now on. They were nicer and safer than real ponies. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play and laugh together. But they do not like to eat broccoli. Broccoli is green and hard and smells funny. + +One day, Mom makes broccoli for dinner. She says, "You have to eat your broccoli, Lila and Ben. It is good for you. It makes you strong and smart." + +Lila and Ben make faces. They do not want to eat their broccoli. They want to eat cake and ice cream. They think cake and ice cream are good for them. They make them happy and sweet. + +Mom says, "No, you cannot have cake and ice cream until you eat your broccoli. You have to part your lips and put some broccoli in your mouth. Then you have to chew and swallow. It is not hard. You can do it." + +Lila and Ben look at each other. They have an idea. They say, "Mom, can we share our broccoli? We can part it in half and give each other some. Then we can eat it faster and have cake and ice cream sooner." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is a good idea, Lila and Ben. You are very smart and kind. You can share your broccoli. But you have to eat all of it. No hiding or throwing it away." + +Lila and Ben nod. They part their broccoli in half and give each other some. They close their eyes and eat their broccoli. They do not like it, but they do not say anything. They want to make Mom happy and have cake and ice cream. + +When they finish their broccoli, Mom says, "Good job, Lila and Ben. You ate your broccoli. You are very brave and good. Now you can have cake and ice cream. You can choose your favorite flavor. You are very rich today." + +Lila and Ben cheer. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We love cake and ice cream. We are very rich today." They hug Mom and run to the kitchen. They choose their favorite flavor and eat their cake and ice cream. They are very happy and sweet. They do not think about broccoli anymore. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man with a big cart. The cart had many ice-creams. Lily and Ben wanted ice-creams. + +"Can we have ice-creams, please?" they asked the man. + +"Sure, you can," the man said. "But you have to pay me one coin for each ice-cream." + +Lily and Ben had some coins in their pockets. They gave the man two coins and took two ice-creams. Lily chose a pink one and Ben chose a blue one. They were very happy. + +They walked to a bench and sat down. They licked their ice-creams. They were very yummy. But then, a big dog came. The dog was hungry. He saw the ice-creams. He ran to the bench and jumped on Lily and Ben. + +"Hey, stop!" Lily and Ben shouted. "These are our ice-creams!" + +But the dog did not listen. He was careless. He bit Lily's ice-cream and ran away with it. Then he bit Ben's ice-cream and ran away with it too. Lily and Ben were very sad. They had no ice-creams left. + +The man saw what happened. He felt sorry for Lily and Ben. He walked to them and said, "I'm sorry, kids. That was a bad dog. He should not take your ice-creams. Here, have two more ice-creams. They are on me." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They thanked the man. They took two more ice-creams. Lily chose a yellow one and Ben chose a green one. They were very happy again. + +They ate their ice-creams. They were very careful. They did not want to lose them again. They enjoyed their ice-creams. They were very yummy. They were glad they had a nice man and each other. They were good friends. +Lily and Tom like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a sail. A sail is a big cloth that can catch the wind and make a boat go fast. They have a small boat that they can put in the water and attach the sail to it. They pretend they are sailors and go on adventures. + +One day, they take their boat and sail to the park. They find a big pond with ducks and fish. They put their boat in the pond and watch it glide on the water. They are very happy and proud of their sail. + +"Look, Lily, our sail is the best!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it is. We own this sail. It is ours and no one else's." Lily says. + +But then, they see another boat in the pond. It is bigger and has a different sail. It is red and blue and has a picture of a dragon on it. It looks very cool and fast. They do not know who owns this sail. It is unknown to them. + +"Wow, Lily, look at that sail! It is so pretty and big! Who owns it?" Tom says. + +"I don't know, Tom. It is unknown. Maybe it belongs to someone else who likes to play with sails. Do you want to say hello to them?" Lily says. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes his sail, but he is curious about the other sail. He wants to see it closer and maybe make a new friend. + +"Okay, Lily, let's go and say hello. Maybe they will let us play with their sail too." Tom says. + +Lily agrees. She likes to meet new people and share her toys. She thinks that playing with sails is more fun when you have friends. They take their boat and sail towards the unknown sail. They hope they will have a good time. +Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play with toys and watch videos. One day, they find a video of a mighty lion in the library. They want to watch it at home. + +"Can we keep this video?" Tim asks the librarian. + +"No, you can only borrow it for one week. Then you have to bring it back," the librarian says. + +"OK, thank you," Sam says. They take the video and go to Tim's house. + +They watch the video on the TV. They see the mighty lion roar and run and hunt. They are very happy and excited. + +"This is the best video ever!" Tim says. + +"I wish we could keep it forever," Sam says. + +"Me too," Tim says. "But we have to be good and bring it back." + +They watch the video again and again. They pretend to be mighty lions too. They have a lot of fun. They do not want the week to end. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to study different things. Lily liked to study animals and plants. Tom liked to study cars and planes. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. + +Lily saw a big tree with many flowers. She ran to the tree and looked at the flowers. She saw a bee, a butterfly, and a mosquito. She wanted to study them. She said, "Mom, look at the bee! It makes honey. Look at the butterfly! It is pretty. Look at the mosquito! It is bad. It bites people." + +Tom saw a pond with many boats. He ran to the pond and looked at the boats. He saw a sailboat, a motorboat, and a canoe. He wanted to study them. He said, "Dad, look at the sailboat! It has a big cloth. Look at the motorboat! It has a loud noise. Look at the canoe! It has a stick." + +Lily and Tom were happy to study the things they liked. But then, they saw a big ice cream truck. They both wanted ice cream. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream. The truck man said, "I have chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. What do you want?" + +Lily said, "I want chocolate. It is yummy." Tom said, "I want chocolate too. It is yummy." The truck man said, "Sorry, I only have one chocolate left. You have to share it or choose another flavor." + +Lily and Tom did not want to share. They did not want another flavor. They both wanted the chocolate. They started to cry and scream. They said, "I want the chocolate! It is mine! You are spoiled!" + +Their mom and dad were not happy. They said, "Lily and Tom, stop crying and screaming. You are being spoiled. You have to share or choose another flavor. You can't have everything you want. You have to be nice to each other." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, mom and dad. Sorry, truck man. Sorry, each other. We will share the chocolate. We will be nice to each other. We will not be spoiled." + +The truck man smiled and gave them the chocolate. They said, "Thank you, truck man." They ate the chocolate and shared it. They were happy again. They went back to study the things they liked. They had a fun day at the park. +Tom and Anna liked to play pretend. They had a big box full of clothes and hats and toys. They would dress up as different people and act out stories. Sometimes they would use the sofa as a stage and pretend they were in a show. + +One day, they decided to play a story about a wealthy king and a poor girl. Tom put on a shiny crown and a cape. Anna wore a ragged dress and a scarf. They used a broom as a horse and a pillow as a bag of gold. + +"Hello, poor girl," said Tom in a loud voice. "I am the king of this land. I have a lot of money and a big castle. What do you have?" + +Anna looked at him and smiled. She had a question for him. "Hello, king," she said. "You have a lot of things, but are you happy? I have no money and no castle, but I have a lot of friends and fun. Do you have friends and fun?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He realized he did not have many friends or fun. He only had things. He felt sad. He wanted to have friends and fun too. He had an idea. + +"Would you like to be my friend, poor girl?" he asked. "We can share my money and my castle, and we can have fun together. We can play pretend and act out stories. What do you say?" + +Anna nodded. She liked the idea. She wanted to be his friend. She did not care about his money or his castle. She only cared about him. + +"Yes, I would like to be your friend, king," she said. "We can have fun together. We can play pretend and act out stories. And we can use the sofa as a stage." + +They hugged and smiled. They were happy. They had friends and fun. And they had a stage. +Tom and Mia were very excited. Today was the big day. They were going to see the fireworks in the park. They put on their warm coats and hats and followed Mom and Dad to the car. + +On the way, they saw an ancient building. It was very old and had many cracks and holes. Tom asked, "What is that, Mom?" + +Mom said, "That is a castle, Tom. It was built a long time ago, when there were kings and queens and knights and dragons." + +Mia said, "Wow, I want to see the dragons!" + +Mom said, "Sorry, Mia, there are no dragons anymore. They are only in stories and pictures. But maybe we can see some dragons in the fireworks." + +They arrived at the park and found a good spot on the grass. They waited for the sun to go down and the sky to get dark. Then they heard a loud boom and saw a bright flash. The fireworks had started! + +Tom and Mia clapped and cheered as they watched the colorful sparks fly in the air. They saw red and blue and green and yellow and purple. They saw shapes like stars and flowers and hearts and circles. And they saw some fireworks that looked like dragons, with long tails and fiery breath. + +Tom said, "Look, Mia, there are the dragons!" + +Mia said, "They are so pretty and scary!" + +They hugged each other and smiled. They loved the fireworks. They wished they could last forever. +Tom and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big green hippo. The hippo can make funny sounds and move its mouth and legs. Tom and Mia pretend the hippo is their friend and take it everywhere. + +One day, they are playing with the hippo in the garden. They make the hippo eat grass and drink water from a bucket. They laugh and have fun. But then, the hippo stops making sounds and moving. Tom and Mia are sad. They try to make the hippo work, but it does not. They think the hippo is broken. + +They run to their mom and show her the hippo. Mom looks at the hippo and sees a small hole in its belly. She says, "Don't worry, I can repair the hippo. I just need some tape and a needle. You can help me, too." + +Tom and Mia are happy. They follow mom to the house and get the tape and the needle. Mom puts some tape over the hole and sews it with the needle. She says, "There, the hippo is fixed. Now we just need to put some new batteries inside." + +Tom and Mia help mom open the hippo's back and put some new batteries inside. They close the hippo's back and press a button. The hippo starts making sounds and moving again. Tom and Mia are very happy. They hug the hippo and say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. We love you and we love our green hippo." +Tommy loved yogurt. He ate it every morning with his mom and dad. He liked the white yogurt with the red fruit on top. It was sweet and creamy and made him happy. + +One day, Tommy woke up and went to the kitchen. He looked for his yogurt in the fridge, but he could not find it. He asked his mom, "Where is my yogurt?" + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, Tommy. We ran out of yogurt. We have to go to the store and buy some more." + +Tommy felt sad. He missed his yogurt. He did not want to eat anything else. He said, "But I want my yogurt now!" + +Mom hugged him and said, "I know, Tommy. I miss it too. But we can't have it right now. We have to wait until we go to the store. How about we have some toast and jam instead? It's also yummy and good for you." + +Tommy thought for a moment. He liked toast and jam, but he liked yogurt more. He said, "Can we go to the store soon?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, we can go after breakfast. And you know what? You can help me pick the yogurt. You can choose your favorite flavor. How does that sound?" + +Tommy smiled and said, "Okay, Mom. That sounds fun. You are very dependable. You always take care of me." + +Mom smiled back and said, "Thank you, Tommy. You are very sweet. You always make me proud." + +They ate their toast and jam and drank their milk.

She thinks Miss Lee will be angry with her. + +"Oh no, Sara, what happened?" Miss Lee asks. She sees the wet picture and the water on the table. + +"I'm sorry, Miss Lee, I'm sorry!" Sara cries. She hugs her picture and tries to hide it. + +Miss Lee is not angry. She is kind and gentle. She hugs Sara and says, "It's okay, Sara, it's okay. Accidents happen. We can dry your picture and make a new one. Don't be sorry, be proud. You are a good artist and a good learner." + +Miss Lee gets a towel and dries the table and the picture. She puts the picture on the wall and gives Sara a new paper and crayons. She smiles and says, "Let's draw again, Sara. What do you want to draw this time?" + +Sara smiles too. She feels better.

Lily asked. + +"It is a car," Tom said. "My dad has a car. He drives it to work." + +"Can we play with it?" Lily asked. + +Tom shook his head. "No, we can't. It is not our car. It belongs to someone else. We have to ask before we touch." + +Lily nodded. She did not want to be rude. She looked around for the owner of the car. She saw a man sitting on a bench. He was reading a book. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lily said. "Is that your car?" + +The man looked up. He smiled at Lily and Tom. + +"Yes, it is," he said. "Do you like it?" + +"Yes, we do," Lily said. "It is very big and pretty. Can we look at it?" + +The man nodded. "Sure, you can. But be careful. Don't touch anything inside. And don't go too far from me." + +"Thank you, sir," Lily said. She and Tom walked to the car. They looked at the windows, the doors, the lights, and the wheels. They were very curious. + +The man watched them. He was happy to see them enjoy his car. He mentioned to them some facts about his car. He told them how fast it could go, how much gas it used, and what color it was. + +Lily and Tom listened. They learned some new words.

They put them in a jar and watched them move. + +One day, they saw something green poking out of the dirt. They knelt down and pulled it gently. It was a carrot! They were very happy. They had never seen a carrot grow before. + +"Look, Lily, we found a vegetable!" Tom said. + +"A vegetable? What is that?" Lily asked. + +"It is something you can eat. It is good for you. Mommy puts them in soup and salad," Tom explained. + +"Can we eat this one?" Lily wondered. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask Mommy first," Tom said. + +They ran to the house with the carrot in their hands. They found Mommy in the kitchen. She was making lunch. + +"Mommy, Mommy, look what we found!" they shouted. + +Mommy smiled and took the carrot. She washed it and cut off the top. She gave them each a piece to try. + +"It is crunchy and sweet. I like it!" Lily said. + +"Me too! Can we have more?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, you can. You are very lucky to find such a graceful carrot in the garden. It must have grown from a seed that the birds dropped," Mommy said. + +"Wow, really? That is so cool!" Tom said. + +"Can we go back and look for more?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can. But don't forget to wash your hands and put on your hats. It is very sunny outside," Mommy said. + +Lily and Tom thanked Mommy and ran back to the garden. They hoped to find more vegetables and bugs. They loved playing in the garden. It was so much fun! +Anna liked to play with her frog. His name was Hoppy and he was green and wet. Anna and Hoppy liked to jump and splash in the pond. They had a lot of fun. + +But one day, Anna and Hoppy were very tired. They had played too much and they needed to sleep. Anna said to Hoppy, "Let's go to my bed. We can sleep there and have nice dreams." + +Hoppy said, "Ribbit, ribbit. I like your bed, but I need water. Can I have a bowl of water next to your bed?" + +Anna said, "Yes, of course. I will get you a bowl of water. You are my friend and I want you to be happy." + +Anna got a bowl of water and put it next to her bed. She lifted Hoppy and put him in the bowl. She said, "Good night, Hoppy. I love you." + +Hoppy said, "Ribbit, ribbit. Good night, Anna. I love you too." + +Anna and Hoppy closed their eyes and slept. They had nice dreams of jumping and splashing in the pond. They were happy. +Poppy was a dog who loved to run and play. She liked to chase balls, birds and cats. She also liked to eat tasty things, like bones, cheese and cookies. But sometimes, she ate things that were not good for her, like shoes, socks and books. + +One day, Poppy saw a big cake on the table. It smelled very tasty. She jumped on a chair and tried to reach the cake. But the chair was not strong enough. It broke and Poppy fell on the floor. The cake also fell and made a big mess. + +"Poppy, stop!" shouted Mommy, who came into the room. She was very angry. She picked up Poppy and put her in a basket. "You are a naughty dog. You can't eat cake. It will make you sick. And you can't break chairs. They are not toys. You have to stay in the basket until you learn to behave." + +Poppy felt sorry. She did not mean to make Mommy angry. She just wanted to taste the cake. She looked at Mommy with sad eyes and wagged her tail. She hoped Mommy would forgive her and let her out of the basket. + +Mommy saw Poppy's sad eyes and wagged tail. She felt sorry too. She knew Poppy was a good dog who loved her. She just needed to learn some rules. She went to the kitchen and got a small piece of cake. She came back to the basket and gave it to Poppy. "Here, Poppy. You can have a little bit of cake. But only a little bit. And only when I say so. OK?" + +Poppy licked Mommy's hand and ate the cake. It was very tasty. She thanked Mommy with a happy bark. She understood that Mommy loved her and wanted her to be safe and healthy. She decided to listen to Mommy and not eat things that were not good for her.

It was raining and windy and dark. She looked out the window and saw the clouds and the puddles and the trees shaking. + +"Mommy, can I go outside?" she asked. + +"No, Lily, it's not safe. The weather is too bad. You might get wet or cold or hurt. You have to stay inside until it stops," Mommy said. + +Lily was sad. She did not like to stay inside. She wanted to run and jump and explore. She wanted to see the flowers and the birds and the bugs. She wanted to have fun. + +She looked around the room and saw her toys. She had a lot of toys, but she was bored of them. She had played with them many times before. She wanted something new and exciting. + +She saw a door. It was a small door, near the floor. It was in the corner of the room, behind a chair. She had never seen it before. She was curious. + +She crawled to the door and pushed the chair away. She reached for the handle and pulled. The door was hard to open, but she was strong. She opened the door and peeked inside. + +She saw a tunnel. It was dark and narrow and long. It looked like a secret passage. She wondered where it led. She wanted to find out. + +She crawled into the tunnel and followed it. She did not know what she would see. She was anxious, but also brave. She wanted to have an adventure. +Anna and Ben like to play with water in the garden. They have a big tub and a small hose. They fill the tub with water and make bubbles with soap. They splash and laugh and have fun. + +One day, they want to see how much water they have. They have a scale that can weigh things. They put the scale next to the tub and try to lift the tub. But the tub is too heavy. They cannot lift it. They ask their mom for help. + +Mom comes and sees what they are doing. She smiles and says, "You are very curious, but you cannot weigh the tub like that. It is too big and too full. You need to empty the water first." + +She shows them how to use the drain. The drain is a hole at the bottom of the tub. She opens the drain and the water goes out. It makes a sound like glug-glug-glug. Anna and Ben watch the water go down the drain. They see the bubbles pop and disappear. + +When the tub is empty, they can lift it. They put it on the scale and see the number. Mom tells them what the number means. She says, "The tub weighs ten pounds. That is not very much. But when you fill it with water, it weighs much more. Water is heavy, too." + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Thank you, mom. You are very smart and very polite. You teach us new things." Mom hugs them and says, "You are very welcome, my sweeties. You are very smart and very polite, too. You learn new things." They all smile and go inside for a snack. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Anna has a brown dog. His name is Spot. Ben has a red ball. He likes to throw it for Spot. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with Spot. Anna puts a leash on Spot. She leads him to the grass. Ben has his ball in his pocket. He takes it out and says, "Ready, Spot? Fetch!" + +Ben throws the ball far away. Spot runs after it. He catches it in his mouth. He brings it back to Ben. Ben says, "Good boy, Spot! You are very fast!" + +Anna and Ben take turns throwing the ball for Spot. They have fun. Spot is happy. He wags his tail. + +But then, something bad happens. A big bird flies over the park. It sees the ball in Spot's mouth. It thinks it is food. It swoops down and tries to grab it. + +Spot is scared. He barks. He drops the ball. The bird takes it and flies away. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They say, "Oh no! Our ball! The bird took it!" + +Spot is sad too. He whines. He looks at Anna and Ben. + +Anna hugs Spot. She says, "It's okay, Spot. We still love you. You are a good dog." + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, Spot. You are a good dog. And we have another ball at home. We can play with it tomorrow." + +Anna and Ben smile. They lead Spot back to their house. They put the leash in their pocket. They say goodbye to each other. They say, "See you tomorrow, friend!" + +The end. +Lily liked purple. She had a purple dress, a purple hat, and a purple bike. She wanted a purple balloon, too. She saw a man with many balloons at the park. She ran to him and asked, "Can I have a purple balloon, please?" + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, little girl. Here you go." He gave her a purple balloon and tied it to her wrist. Lily was happy. She thanked the man and ran back to her mom. + +But the balloon was too big. It pulled Lily's arm up in the air. It made her uncomfortable. She tried to hold it down, but it was too strong. She felt like she was flying. She did not like it. She wanted to let go of the balloon, but she was afraid it would fly away. + +She cried and said, "Mom, I don't want the balloon anymore. It hurts my arm. Can you take it off?" + +Her mom heard her and came to her. She saw the balloon and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Lily. That balloon is too big for you. Let me help you." She untied the balloon from Lily's wrist and held it in her hand. She said, "Do you want to keep the balloon or give it back to the man?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked purple, but she did not like the balloon. She said, "I want to give it back to the man. Maybe he can give it to someone else who likes it." + +Her mom nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." They walked to the man and gave him the balloon. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. Do you want another balloon? I have smaller ones." + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I have enough purple things. I just want to play with my bike." + +The man said, "Alright, have fun, Lily. Bye-bye." He waved to her and she waved back. She ran to her bike and rode it around the park. She felt comfortable and happy. She did not need the balloon anymore. She had her mom and her bike. And they were purple, too. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside in summer. They had a big yard with a slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They also had a hose that they could use to make water games. + +One hot and dry day, they decided to play with the hose. Lily wanted to spray Ben with water, but Ben wanted to fill the sandbox with water and make mud pies. They both pulled the hose and tried to get it from each other. + +"Stop it, Lily! I want the hose!" Ben shouted. + +"No, Ben! I want the hose!" Lily yelled back. + +They fought over the hose and got wet and dirty. They also made a big mess in the yard. The water spilled on the grass, the mud splashed on the slide, and the swing got tangled with the hose. + +Their mom heard them fighting and came outside. She was not happy with what she saw. She turned off the water and took the hose away from them. + +"Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You are not being nice to each other. You are wasting water and making a mess. You need to share and take turns. And you need to clean up this yard right now!" she said. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They helped each other clean up the yard and put away their toys. They learned that fighting was not fun and that playing together was better. They hugged and smiled and went inside for a snack. +Lily and Max were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a doll, a car and a train. They liked to share and take turns. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, a big boy came and took their ball. He ran away and laughed. Lily and Max were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They ran after the big boy and shouted, "Give us our ball! That is not nice!" + +The big boy did not listen. He threw the ball over the fence and into the trash. He said, "I don't want your ball. It is old and dirty. I have a fancy ball at home. It is new and shiny. You can have this waste." + +Lily and Max were shocked and sad. They could not get their ball back. It was gone. It had vanished. They cried and hugged each other. They did not like the big boy. He was mean and rude. + +Then, a nice lady came and saw them. She asked, "What is wrong, children? Why are you crying?" + +Lily and Max told her what happened. They showed her the fence and the trash. They said, "The big boy took our ball and threw it away. He said it was waste. He said he had a fancy ball. He made our ball vanish." + +The nice lady felt sorry for them. She said, "That is not fair. That is not kind. Your ball is not waste. It is your toy. You love it and play with it. It is special to you. The big boy was wrong. He should say sorry. I have an idea. Come with me." + +She took them to her car and opened the trunk. She had a lot of toys inside. She said, "I work at a toy store. I have some extra toys that I can give you. You can choose one each. Maybe you will find a new ball that you like." + +Lily and Max smiled and thanked her. They looked at the toys and saw many colors and shapes. They saw a ball that was red and blue and had stars on it. They liked it very much. They said, "Can we have this ball, please?" + +The nice lady said, "Of course you can. It is a fancy ball, but not too fancy. It is just right for you. You can share it and play with it. I hope you enjoy it." + +Lily and Max hugged the nice lady and took the ball. They said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are very kind. You made us happy. You are our friend." + +They ran back to the park and played with their new ball. They forgot about the big boy and the old ball. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Lily liked to play with her mom's makeup. She found it in the bathroom and opened the big box. There were many colors and brushes and sticks. Lily wanted to look like her mom, so she took some makeup and put it on her face. + +She used a red stick for her lips, a blue stick for her eyes, and a brown powder for her cheeks. She did not know how to use them well, so she made a big mess. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She thought she was pretty. + +But then her mom came in and saw her. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You used my makeup without asking. That is bad. You made a big mess and you wasted my makeup. And you look like a clown." + +Lily felt sad. She did not want to make her mom angry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to look like you. I like your makeup. It is pretty." + +Her mom sighed. She said, "Lily, I love you, but you can't play with my makeup. It is not for you. It is for grown-ups. And you don't need makeup to look pretty. You are pretty just the way you are." + +She took a wet cloth and examined Lily's face. She wiped off the makeup gently. She said, "See? You have a beautiful face. You have bright eyes, a cute nose, and a sweet smile. You don't need to change anything. You are my lovely Lily." + +Lily hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. I'm sorry I used your makeup. I won't do it again." + +Her mom kissed her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But next time, if you want to play with makeup, ask me first. And maybe we can play together. I can show you how to use it properly. And we can have fun." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. That sounds good. Can we play now?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Sure, Lily. Let's go to your room and find some toys. And maybe later, we can have a tea party. How does that sound?" + +Lily clapped her hands. She said, "Yay! That sounds great. I love you, mom." + +They left the bathroom and went to Lily's room. They played and laughed and had a good time. They forgot about the makeup and the mess. They were happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill with grass and flowers. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +They run to the hill and start to climb. They use their hands and feet to go up. They see bugs and rocks and sticks. They laugh and talk as they climb. + +"Look, Sam, I see a bird!" Tom says. He points to a blue bird on a tree. + +"Wow, Tom, it is so pretty!" Sam says. He looks at the bird. + +They reach the top of the hill. They see a pond with ducks and frogs. They see a bridge and a slide. They see a bench and a trash can. + +"Let's go to the pond, Tom!" Sam says. He runs to the pond. + +"Wait for me, Sam!" Tom says. He runs after Sam. + +They get to the pond. They see a vest on the ground. It is filthy. It has dirt and stains and holes. It smells bad. + +"Yuck, Sam, look at this vest!" Tom says. He picks up the vest. + +"Who left this vest here, Tom?" Sam says. He makes a face. + +"I don't know, Sam. Maybe someone forgot it. Maybe someone threw it away." Tom says. + +"Let's jump over it, Tom!" Sam says. He jumps over the vest. + +"Okay, Sam, let's jump over it!" Tom says. He jumps over the vest too. + +They jump over the vest and go to the pond. They watch the ducks and frogs. They have fun. They forget about the filthy vest. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are young twins who like to help their mom in the kitchen. Today, mom is making pastry for a pie. She gives Sara and Ben some dough and a rolling pin to play with. + +"Let's sort the dough into shapes," Sara says. "I will make a star and a heart." + +"I will make a circle and a square," Ben says. They roll and cut the dough with cookie cutters. + +Mom smiles and says, "You are doing a great job, Sara and Ben. Do you want to put some jam on your pastry shapes?" + +"Yes, please!" Sara and Ben say. They choose their favorite jam from the jar. Sara likes strawberry and Ben likes blueberry. + +They spread the jam on their pastry shapes and put them on a baking sheet. Mom puts the sheet in the oven and sets the timer. + +"Your pastry will be ready soon," mom says. "You can have them for a snack after lunch." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They love to sort, make, and eat pastry with mom. +Anna likes to dress up as a princess. She has a pink dress, a shiny crown and a wand. She likes to pretend she is in a castle and has a lot of friends. + +One day, she invites her brother Tom to play with her. Tom likes to dress up as a pirate. He has a hat, a sword and a patch. He likes to pretend he is on a ship and has a lot of treasure. + +Anna and Tom decide to have a tea party. They set up a table with cups, plates and spoons. They use water for tea and ketchup for sauce. They pretend the ketchup is strawberry jam and the water is lemonade. + +They have a lot of fun. They talk and laugh and eat. They say things like "How do you do?" and "Thank you very much". They are very polite and nice. + +But then, Tom spills some ketchup on his shirt. He gets angry and shouts. He says "Oh no! My shirt is ruined! You are a bad princess! You did this on purpose!" He grabs his sword and points it at Anna. + +Anna gets scared and cries. She says "No, I didn't! It was an accident! You are a mean pirate! You are not my friend!" She grabs her wand and waves it at Tom. + +They start to fight. They make a lot of noise. They are very loud and rude. + +Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and the ketchup and the water. She sees Anna and Tom with their dress and hat and sword and wand. She is not happy. She says "Stop it right now! What are you doing? You are making a big mess and a big fuss! You are not playing nice! You are not being good!" + +Anna and Tom stop and look at their mom. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say "We are sorry, mom. We were just playing. We didn't mean to be loud and rude. We didn't mean to make a mess." + +Their mom says "I know you were just playing, but you have to be careful and respectful. You have to share and take turns. You have to say sorry and forgive. You have to be kind and gentle. You have to be good." + +Anna and Tom nod and hug their mom. They say "We will, mom. We will be good. We love you, mom." + +Their mom smiles and hugs them back. She says "I love you too, Anna and Tom. Now, let's clean up this mess and change your clothes. Then, we can have some real tea and sauce and cookies. How does that sound?" + +Anna and Tom say "That sounds great, mom. Thank you, mom." + +They all go to the kitchen and have a nice tea party. They are happy and good. The end. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big, round thing on the grass. It was gray and had some black stuff inside. + +"What is this?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a hat," Kim said. + +They put the thing on their heads and pretended to be pirates. They said "Arrr" and "Ahoy" and laughed. They had a lot of fun. + +Then, Mom came out and saw them. She looked angry and surprised. + +"Tim! Kim! What are you doing with that?" she shouted. + +She took the thing from their heads and threw it in the trash. + +"That is not a hat. That is an ashtray. It is for smoking. Smoking is bad and dirty. You should never touch it," she said. + +"Sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We thought it was funny," Tim and Kim said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I love you. But please, don't play with ashtrays again. They are not toys. They are dangerous." + +Tim and Kim nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We won't." + +They went inside and played with their blocks. They never mentioned the ashtray again. +Tom and Lily love to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to zoom them on the floor, on the sofa, and on the table. Sometimes they make noises like vroom, beep, and honk. + +One day, they see a new car in the toy store. It is big and shiny and red. It has four doors and a trunk. It looks like a real car. Tom and Lily want the car very much. They ask their mom if they can buy it. + +Mom says, "This car is very expensive. We don't have enough money to buy it. Maybe you can save some money and buy it later." + +Tom and Lily are sad. They go home and look at their old cars. They don't seem as fun as the new car. They wish they had the new car. + +The next day, they go to the park with their mom. They see their friend Ben. Ben has the new car. He is zooming it on the grass. He sees Tom and Lily and waves to them. + +"Hi, Tom and Lily! Do you want to play with my new car? It is very fast and cool. You can zoom it with me." + +Tom and Lily are surprised. They don't know how Ben got the new car. They are also happy. They want to play with the new car. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very generous. How did you get the new car?" Tom asks. + +"My dad bought it for me. He said it is a gift for the new season. He said it is spring now and everything is growing and changing. He said the new car is like a new flower. He said I can share it with my friends." Ben says. + +Tom and Lily smile. They think Ben's dad is very nice. They think spring is a good season. They think the new car is like a new flower. They zoom the car with Ben and have a lot of fun. They forget about their old cars. They are happy. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they found some sand and sticks. They decided to bake a cake with the sand and sticks. + +They made a big pile of sand and put some sticks on top. They pretended it was a delicate cake with candles. They sang a song for the cake. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear cake, happy birthday to you!" + +Then they saw a big building with a pointy roof. It was a temple. They wanted to see what was inside. They left their cake on the bench and ran to the temple. They opened the door and saw many statues and paintings. They were very pretty and shiny. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said, pointing to a statue of a lady with a crown. + +"It's so beautiful!" Sam said, touching the statue's face. + +But the statue was very old and delicate. When Sam touched it, it broke into pieces. The pieces fell on the floor with a loud noise. Lily and Sam were very scared. They heard someone coming. + +"Uh-oh, we're in trouble!" Lily said. + +"Let's run!" Sam said. + +They ran out of the temple and back to the park. They saw their cake on the bench. But it was not a cake anymore. It was a mess of sand and sticks. A dog had eaten it. + +"Oh no, our cake!" Lily said. + +"It's okay, we can bake another one," Sam said. + +They hugged each other and smiled. They were still best friends. They learned a lesson. They should not touch delicate things that are not theirs. And they should not leave their cake alone. +Lila and Ben like to polish their bikes. They use a cloth and some water to make them shiny and clean. They are proud of their bikes and want to ride them outside. + +But today the weather is bad. It is rainy and windy and cold. Lila and Ben are sad. They cannot go outside and play with their bikes. They look out the window and see the clouds and the puddles. + +"Can we play something else?" Lila asks Ben. + +"Like what?" Ben says. + +Lila thinks for a moment. She sees their stuffed animals on the bed. She has an idea. + +"Let's play zoo!" she says. "We can pretend our animals are in the zoo and we are the keepers. We can feed them and brush them and talk to them." + +Ben likes the idea. He smiles and nods. + +"OK, let's play zoo!" he says. + +They take their animals and put them on the floor.

He is happy to see her. + +"Hi, Lily!" he says. "Do you want to play?" + +"Yes, Ben!" Lily says. "But first, I have a surprise for you. Look what I have!" + +She shows him the toy phone. Ben's eyes widen. He likes the toy phone. It looks fun and cool. + +"Wow, Lily!" he says. "That is a great phone! Where did you get it?" + +"My mom gave it to me for being a good girl," Lily says. "Do you want to try it?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. "Thank you, Lily! You are a very nice friend!" + +They take turns playing with the toy phone. They pretend to call each other and make silly voices. They laugh and have fun. They are happy and loyal friends. +Lily liked to look at small things with her microscope. She had a microscope that her dad gave her for her birthday. She could see bugs, leaves, and hairs with it. She thought it was fun and amazing. + +One day, she wanted to look at her cat's fur with her microscope. She asked her mom if she could do it. Her mom said, "OK, but you have to be gentle and careful. Don't hurt the cat or the microscope. And don't let the cat play with the microscope. It is not a toy." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I will be gentle and careful. I just want to see the cat's fur." She took her microscope and her cat to her room. She put the cat on her bed and stroked her softly. She said, "Don't worry, kitty. I won't hurt you. I just want to look at your fur. It is so soft and pretty." + +She took a small piece of fur from the cat's back and put it on a slide. She put the slide under the microscope and looked through the eyepiece. She saw many tiny hairs that looked like ropes. She saw different colors and shapes. She said, "Wow, kitty. Your fur is so cool. It has many small hairs. They look like ropes. They have different colors and shapes. You are a beautiful cat." + +The cat purred and licked her hand. She liked Lily and trusted her. She knew Lily was gentle and careful. She felt safe with her. She did not mind that Lily looked at her fur with the microscope. She thought Lily was curious and smart. She was happy to be her friend. +Anna and Ben are playing in the living room. They like to pretend they are pirates and look for treasure. They use a big rug as their ship and some pillows as their cannons. + +"Ahoy, matey! We are sailing to the island of gold!" Ben says, holding a wooden spoon as his sword. + +"Arrr, me too! But watch out for the sharks!" Anna says, pointing to the floor. + +They jump on the rug and make loud noises. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Mom comes in. She is not happy. She sees the mess they made. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing? You have to remove the rug from the sofa. It is not a toy. And put the pillows back on the bed. You are making a big mess!" Mom says. + +"But Mom, we are pirates! We are looking for treasure!" Ben says. + +"Pirates? Treasure? That sounds like a fun game. But you can't use the rug and the pillows. They are not harmless. You can hurt yourself or break something. Why don't you use these instead?" Mom says. + +She gives them some paper, crayons, and scissors. She helps them make a map, a flag, and some hats. + +"Now you can be pirates with these. And you can use the rug as a blanket. But you have to clean up when you are done, okay?" Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom. Thank you!" Anna and Ben say. + +They hug Mom and go back to their game. They use the paper and crayons to make their treasure. They are happy. They are pirates. +Lily liked to polish her shoes. She had a red brush and a black tin of polish. She rubbed the brush on the tin and then on her shoes.

She opened the window and called to the cat. + +"Hello, cat. Do you want to come in? I have some milk and fish for you. And I can polish your fur and make you pretty." + +The cat looked at Lily and meowed. It was hungry and cold. It jumped on the window sill and walked into Lily's room.

The man yelps and lets go of Ben. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Ben says, hugging his dog. "You saved me!" + +Spot barks and wags his tail. He is a loyal dog. He always protects Ben. + +The man runs away, holding his hand. He is a bad guy. He stole the ring from a real police officer.

They liked to see the cows, the pigs and the chickens. They liked to run in the grass and smell the flowers. But their favorite thing was to swing on the big rope that hung from the old tree. + +One day, they went to swing on the rope, but they saw something weird. There was a big pile of wheat under the tree. Wheat was what the farmer used to make bread. Why was it there? Ben and Lily wondered. + +"Maybe the farmer forgot it," Ben said. + +"Maybe he wants to make a big bread," Lily said. + +They decided to swing over the wheat and see how it felt. They took turns to hold the rope and jump from the tree. They felt the wheat tickle their feet and legs. They laughed and shouted. + +"Swing, swing, swing!" Ben said. + +"Wee, wee, wee!" Lily said. + +They had so much fun, they did not see the farmer coming. He was carrying a big basket. He looked angry. + +"Hey, you kids, get off my wheat!" he yelled. "You are ruining my harvest!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They let go of the rope and ran away. They did not want to make the farmer mad. They did not want to play with the wheat anymore.

Every day, she would take her folder to school with her. + +One day, Lily's friend Sarah came over to play. Sarah saw Lily's red folder and said, "I hate your folder. It's not pretty." + +Lily felt sad and upset. She loved her red folder and didn't want anyone to say mean things about it.

I want to take it home." + +Mia nods. "Me too. It is a mineral. My dad told me minerals are rocks that have special things inside. They are important." + +They try to lift the rock, but it is too heavy. They push and pull, but it does not move. They get tired and sad. + +A duck swims by and quacks. It notices the rock and the children. It swims closer and says, "Hello, children. Why are you sad?" + +Tom and Mia tell the duck about the rock. They say they want to take it home, but they cannot. + +The duck nods. "I see. But do you know that this rock is not yours? It belongs to the park. It is part of nature. It helps the plants, the animals and the water. If you take it away, you will hurt the park. And you will hurt yourselves. You will not be happy with something that is not yours." + +Tom and Mia look at the duck. They look at the rock. They look at the park. They think about what the duck said. They feel sorry. + +"You are right, duck," Tom says. "We are sorry. We did not think about the park. We only thought about ourselves. We will not take the rock. We will leave it here, where it belongs." + +Mia agrees. "Yes, duck. We are sorry. We will not be greedy. We will share the rock with the park. We will come and visit it, but we will not touch it." + +The duck smiles. "That is very good, children. You are very smart and kind. You have learned a lesson. The rock is a mineral, but it is also a friend. A friend of the park, and a friend of you. You can enjoy it, but you cannot own it. That is the way of nature." + +Tom and Mia smile too. They thank the duck and say goodbye. They run, swing, slide and climb. They are happy. They have learned a lesson. They have learned to respect nature and to be grateful for what they have. +Lily loved to read novels. She had many novels in her room.

You are very bad!" + +Max giggled. He did not understand why Lily was mad. He did not know what a novel was. He just liked to cut things. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I wanted to play with you. Do you want to cut more things?" + +Lily felt helpless. She could not fix her novel. She could not make Max stop. She could not read her story. She started to cry. + +Mom heard Lily crying. She came to her room. She saw the scissors, the holes, and the tears. She understood what had happened. She hugged Lily and took the scissors from Max. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Mom said. "Max did not mean to hurt you. He is too little to know better. He needs to learn to respect your things. And you need to keep your novels away from him. Let's go to the library and find a new novel for you. And Max, you need to say sorry to Lily and help her clean up this mess." +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room.

He touched his mouth and made a face. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he said. "My tooth hurts so much! I lost it this morning when I was eating a carrot. I put it in my pocket, but I can't find it now. I need to go to the dentist and get a new one." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt guilty. They knew where Uncle Jack's tooth was. They had hidden it in the flower pot.

She did not want to swim in the pool. She wanted to swim in the sea. + +Anna had an idea. She decided to sneak out of the house and go to the sea by herself. She packed her swimsuit and her towel and her toys. She waited until her mom and dad were busy. Then she ran out of the door and got on the bus. She did not tell her mom and dad where she was going. She was not honest. + +Anna got off the bus near the sea. She saw the water and the sand and the waves. She was happy. She put on her swimsuit and ran to the water.

They are not hurt, but they are sad. + +"Why is the branch broken?" Ben questions. He does not like broken things. He likes things that are whole and strong. + +"I don't know," Mia says. She looks at the tree. She sees more broken branches. She sees holes and scars. She sees bugs and birds. "Maybe the tree is old. Maybe the bugs and birds eat the tree. Maybe the wind and rain hurt the tree." + +Ben and Mia feel sorry for the tree. They want to help the tree. They pick up some pine cones and needles. They make a nest for the tree. They put it on a good branch. They hope the tree will like it. + +"Maybe the tree will be happy now," Ben says. He smiles at the tree.

Do you want to know a secret? This coin can make wishes come true. But you have to be careful what you wish for. Sometimes, wishes can be bad." + +The twins were curious and wanted to try the coin. The man said he would let them have one wish each, but they had to give him something in return.

They are like the stars in the night sky, or the grains of sand on the beach, or the drops of water in the ocean." + +Lila looked out the window. It was a gray day, and she could not see the stars, or the sand, or the ocean. She wondered what they looked like.

They wanted to touch the brush. + +They went to the brush and picked it up. It was heavy and rough. They tried to brush their hair with it, but it hurt. They tried to brush the grass with it, but it made a loud noise. They tried to brush the fence with it, but it scratched the wood. They did not like the brush. They wanted to throw it away. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was low and angry. It said, "Who took my brush? Give it back to me!" Tom and Lily were scared. They looked around, but they did not see anyone. The voice said again, "Who took my brush? Give it back to me!" It repeated the same words over and over. It sounded closer and closer. + +Tom and Lily dropped the brush and ran. They ran to the slide, but the voice followed them. They ran to the swing, but the voice followed them. They ran to the gate, but the voice followed them. They could not escape. They did not know what to do. + +The voice was behind them. It said, "I found you! You took my brush! Now you will pay!" Tom and Lily turned around and saw a big, scary man. He had a long beard and a dirty coat. He had a mean face and a big knife. He grabbed the brush and raised the knife. He said, "This is my brush! And this is your end!" He swung the knife at Tom and Lily. They screamed and closed their eyes. They never opened them again. +Anna likes to watch the birds in the park. She sees big birds and small birds, red birds and blue birds, loud birds and quiet birds. She likes to move close to them and say hello. + +One day, she sees a new bird. It is white and fluffy, with a long tail and a yellow beak. It is sitting on a branch, very still. Anna moves slowly to the branch and says, "Hello, bird. What is your name?" + +The bird does not answer. It does not move at all. Anna thinks it is shy. She says, "Don't be scared, bird. I am Anna. I want to be your friend." + +The bird still does not answer. It does not move at all. Anna thinks it is rude. She says, "Why don't you talk to me, bird? Do you not like me?" + +The bird still does not answer. It does not move at all. Anna thinks it is funny. She says, "Are you playing a game, bird? Are you pretending to be a statue?" + +The bird still does not answer. It does not move at all. Anna thinks it is strange. She says, "Are you a real bird, bird? Or are you a toy?" + +The bird still does not answer. It does not move at all. Anna thinks it is boring. She says, "You are a boring bird, bird. I will go and find another bird to play with." + +She turns around and sees a clear sky. She sees many birds flying and singing. She says, "Bye, bird. Have fun being a statue." + +She runs to the other birds and tries to catch them. She laughs and has fun. She forgets about the white and fluffy bird on the branch. She does not know that it is not a bird. It is a kite. +Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They saw a big box with a bow on it. It was for their mom's birthday. + +"Let's open it and see what's inside!" Max said. + +"No, we can't! It's a surprise!" Lily said. + +"But I want to know!" Max said. He tried to pull the bow. + +Lily grabbed the box and ran to the other side of the room. She put the box behind a chair. She hoped Max would not find it. + +Max chased after her. He looked under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the closet. He could not see the box. + +"Where did you hide it?" Max asked. + +"I won't tell you!" Lily said. She smiled. + +Max was angry. He stomped his feet. He wanted to see the gift. + +He saw a shiny paper on the floor. It was from the box. He followed the paper trail. He found the box behind the chair. + +"Ha! I found it!" Max said. He grabbed the box. + +Lily was sad. She ran to the box. She tried to take it back. + +"Stop! You'll ruin it!" Lily said. + +They both pulled the box. The paper tore. The bow fell off. The gift came out. + +It was a rare book. It had pictures of animals and plants. It was mom's favorite. + +They both gasped. They looked at the book. They looked at each other. They felt bad. + +They had broken mom's gift. + +They hugged each other. They said sorry. + +They tried to fix the gift. They put the book back in the box. They wrapped the paper around it. They tied the bow on it. + +They hoped mom would not notice. + +They put the box on the table. They wrote a card. They said they loved mom. + +They waited for mom to come home. + +They hoped she would like the gift. + +They hoped she would forgive them. +Ben and Mia love to play with their blocks. They build tall towers, long bridges, and colorful houses. They use their cars and dolls to make stories with their blocks. + +One day, they find a new toy in their room. It is a big green ball with a hole in it. It looks like an olive, but it is much bigger. Ben and Mia are curious. They roll the ball around and try to fit it on their blocks. + +But the ball is too heavy and too big. It knocks down their towers, bridges, and houses. It destroys their blocks. Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They cry and shout at the ball. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and the ball. She smiles and picks up the ball. She tells Ben and Mia that the ball is a gift from their uncle. He made it for them. He is very proud of his work. He is an artist. + +Ben and Mia are surprised. They look at the ball again. They see that it has patterns and colors on it. It is not just a big olive. It is a beautiful ball. They feel sorry for destroying their uncle's gift. They hug Mom and say sorry. + +Mom hugs them back and says it is okay. She says they can play with the ball outside, where it will not destroy anything. She says they can also rebuild their blocks and make new stories. She says she is proud of them for being kind and creative. Ben and Mia smile and say thank you. They take the ball and their blocks and go outside. They have fun and learn to play with their new toy. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with toys and games. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. They want to open their presents. + +"Can we open our presents now, Mommy?" Ben requests. + +"Not yet, sweeties. We have to wait for Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa. They are coming soon," Mommy says. + +Ben and Mia are not happy. They do not want to wait. They see a big box with a bow. They think it is a present for them. + +"Let's open this one. Maybe it is a fun toy," Mia says. + +"Okay. Mommy will not see us. She is in the kitchen," Ben says. + +They go to the big box. They rip the paper and the bow. They open the box. They scream. + +Inside the box is a big dog. The dog is not playful. The dog is angry. The dog bites Ben and Mia. They cry. They bleed. + +Mommy hears them. She runs to the living room. She sees the dog and the box. She sees Ben and Mia. She is shocked. + +"What have you done? This is not your present. This is Daddy's present. He wanted a dog. But this dog is not nice. This dog is bad. You should not have opened the box. You should have waited. Now you are hurt. And Daddy will be sad," Mommy says. + +She calls the doctor. She calls Daddy. She hugs Ben and Mia. They are sorry. They are scared. They are in pain. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big rock near the slide. They run to the rock and climb on it. They pretend it is a boat and they are sailors. + +"Look, there is a wire on the rock!" Ben says. He points to a thin wire that is wrapped around the rock. "Maybe it is a rope for the boat." + +Lily grabs the wire and pulls it. The wire is not a rope. It is a trap. The wire is connected to a big net that falls on Lily and Ben. They are caught in the net. + +"Help, help!" they shout. "We are stuck in the net!" + +A man comes out of the bushes. He is holding a big bag. He is a bad man. He wants to take Lily and Ben away and sell them. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" he laughs. "I got you, you little brats! You will make me a lot of money!" + +He walks to the net and tries to put Lily and Ben in his bag. But he does not see a big dog behind him. The dog is Lily and Ben's friend. His name is Rex. He is a good dog. He likes to play with Lily and Ben. + +Rex sees the bad man and the net. He barks loudly and runs to the bad man. He bites his leg and makes him fall. The bad man drops his bag and screams. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Get off me, you nasty dog!" + +Lily and Ben see Rex and smile. They are happy to see him. They wiggle out of the net and run to Rex. They hug him and thank him. + +"Good boy, Rex! You saved us!" Lily says. + +"You are our hero, Rex!" Ben says. + +Rex wags his tail and licks their faces. He is happy to see them too. He likes to be their hero. + +They see a sandwich in the bad man's bag. It looks tasty. They are hungry from playing. They share the sandwich with Rex. They eat it and enjoy it. + +"Yum, yum, yum! This is a tasty sandwich!" Lily says. + +"Yum, yum, yum! This is a tasty sandwich!" Ben says. + +"Yum, yum, yum! This is a tasty sandwich!" Rex says. + +They finish the sandwich and leave the bad man in the park. They go home with Rex. They tell their mom and dad what happened. They are proud of Rex. They give him a big bone and a hug. + +They are happy and safe. They love Rex. Rex loves them. They are a good team. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the attic. The attic is dark and cold. They have a flashlight and a switch. The switch makes a loud noise when they turn it on and off. + +One day, they find a big box in the attic. They open the box and see many old things. They see a hat, a doll, a book, and a smelly sock. They want to see more, so they dig deeper in the box. + +Suddenly, they hear a growl. They look up and see a big rat. The rat has sharp teeth and red eyes. It is angry and hungry. It runs towards them. + +Tim and Sam are scared. They drop the flashlight and the switch. The attic becomes dark and quiet. They shiver and hug each other. They wish they were downstairs with Mom and Dad. + +They hear the rat coming closer. They scream for help. They hope someone hears them. They hope the rat goes away. They hope they can get out of the attic. They hope they never play in the attic again. +Sara was very happy. She got an invitation to go to Lily's birthday party. Lily was her best friend. Lily's dad was famous. He made funny movies that Sara liked to watch. + +Sara wanted to give Lily a special gift. She thought hard. She decided to make a book for Lily. She took some paper and crayons. She drew pictures of Lily and her dad in the movies. She wrote words that she knew. She made a cover with Lily's name and a big star. + +She showed her mom the book. Her mom smiled and said, "That's a wonderful gift, Sara. Lily will love it. You are very creative. You can imagine many things." + +Sara felt proud. She put the book in a bag with a ribbon. She got ready for the party. She wore her favorite dress and shoes. She asked her mom, "Can we go now?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, let's go. I'm sure Lily and her dad are waiting for you. Maybe you can even watch one of his movies with them." + +Sara was very excited.

Sara hoped that Lily would like her gift. She imagined how happy they would be. She imagined that they were famous too. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her glow sticks. She liked to make them bend and crack and see the bright colors. One night, she wanted to show her glow sticks to her friend Sam, who lived next door. + +She took her glow sticks and ran to Sam's house. She knocked on the door and waited. Sam's mom opened the door and smiled. "Hello, Lily. What do you have there?" she asked. + +Lily held up her glow sticks proudly. "They are glow sticks. They are very pretty. Can I play with Sam?" she said. + +Sam's mom nodded. "Sure, Sam is in his room. You can go upstairs." She let Lily in and closed the door. + +Lily ran up the stairs and found Sam's room. She opened the door and saw Sam sitting on his bed, reading a book. He looked up and saw Lily. "Hi, Lily. What are you doing here?" he asked. + +Lily smiled and showed him her glow sticks. "I came to play with you. Look, I have glow sticks. They are very fun. Do you want to try?" she said. + +Sam frowned and shook his head. "No, thank you. Glow sticks are for babies. I don't like them. They are silly and boring. I like books. They are smart and interesting. You should read books too." He said. + +Lily felt sad and embarrassed. She liked her glow sticks. She thought they were fun and pretty. She didn't think they were silly or boring. She liked books too, but she wanted to play with Sam. She didn't know what to say. + +She turned around and walked out of the room. She closed the door and ran down the stairs. She wanted to go home and cry. She felt like Sam didn't like her anymore. + +Sam's mom saw Lily leaving and asked her what was wrong. Lily told her what Sam said. Sam's mom frowned and called Sam downstairs. She asked him why he was rude to Lily. Sam shrugged and said he didn't like glow sticks. + +Sam's mom said, "Sam, that was not nice. You hurt Lily's feelings. Glow sticks are not for babies. They are for anyone who likes them. They are fun and creative. You don't have to like them, but you don't have to make fun of them. You should respect Lily's choices and be kind to her. She is your friend. How would you feel if she said your books were stupid and boring?" + +Sam thought for a moment. He realized he was wrong. He felt sorry and embarrassed. He said, "You're right, mom. I was mean. I like books, but I don't have to make fun of glow sticks. I should have been nice to Lily. She is my friend. I feel bad. Can I say sorry to her?" + +Sam's mom said, "Yes, you can. And you should. Go get your coat and we'll go to Lily's house. Maybe you can play with her and her glow sticks. You might like them too." + +Sam nodded and got his coat. He followed his mom to Lily's house. He knocked on the door and waited. Lily's mom opened the door and smiled. "Hello, Sam. What can I do for you?" she asked. + +Sam said, "Hi, Lily's mom. Can I talk to Lily? I want to say sorry to her. I was mean to her and I feel bad." + +Lily's mom said, "That's very nice of you, Sam. Lily is in her room. You can go upstairs." + +Sam went upstairs and found Lily's room. He opened the door and saw Lily sitting on her bed, holding her glow sticks. She looked up and saw Sam. She was surprised and scared. She didn't want to talk to him. + +Sam said, "Hi, Lily. I'm sorry. I was mean to you. I said your glow sticks were for babies. That was not true. They are for anyone who likes them. They are fun and creative. You don't have to like books. You can like whatever you want. I respect your choices and I want to be your friend. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Sam and saw he was sincere. She felt happy and relieved. She said, "Thank you, Sam. I forgive you. I was sad and embarrassed. I like my glow sticks. They are fun and pretty. I like books too, but I wanted to play with you. You are my friend. Do you want to play with me and my glow sticks?" + +Sam smiled and nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. I want to play with you and your glow sticks. Maybe I'll like them too. Can you show me how they work?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, +Tom and Mia liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. But they also liked to win. They were very competitive. + +One day, they found a big knife on the counter. It was shiny and sharp. Tom wanted to use it to cut the bread. Mia wanted to use it to cut the cheese. They both said, "The knife belongs to me!" + +They started to pull the knife from each other. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop. They did not see the cat, who jumped on the counter. The cat was scared of the knife. It knocked over a glass of water. + +The water spilled on the floor. Tom and Mia slipped on the water. They let go of the knife. The knife fell on the floor too. It made a loud noise. Tom and Mia cried. They hurt their knees and hands. + +Their mom came to help them. She was angry and sad. She said, "The knife does not belong to you. It is dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or the cat. You need to share and be careful. Playing is not fun if you only want to win." + +Tom and Mia said they were sorry. They hugged their mom and the cat. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. They found some spoons and bowls. They made a band and sang a song. They had fun and were not competitive. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a lovely bridge over a stream. It was red and shiny and had flowers on it. + +"Let's go over the bridge!" Lily said. She was excited. She loved bridges. + +"OK!" Ben said. He was excited too. He followed Lily to the bridge. + +But when they got to the bridge, they saw a big dog. The dog was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It was guarding the bridge. It growled at Lily and Ben. + +"Go away!" the dog said. "This is my bridge. You can't cross it." + +Lily and Ben were scared. They wanted to cross the bridge, but they didn't want to make the dog angry. + +"Please, let us cross the bridge," Lily said. "We just want to play." + +"No!" the dog said. "This is my bridge. If you try to cross it, I will bite you." + +Lily and Ben didn't know what to do. They looked at each other. They looked at the dog. They looked at the bridge. + +Then, they heard a loud noise. It was a car. The car was driving fast. It didn't see the bridge. It hit the bridge with a big crash. + +The bridge broke. It fell into the stream. The flowers flew away. The dog flew away. Lily and Ben flew away. + +They landed on the ground. They were hurt. They cried. + +The car stopped. The driver got out. He saw Lily and Ben. He saw the broken bridge. He saw the dog. + +He was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry. I didn't see the bridge. Are you OK?" + +But Lily and Ben were not OK. They were sad. They lost their lovely bridge. They lost their friend. They lost their fun. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They open the box and see many things inside. They see a hat, a ball, a doll, and a skull. + +"What is this?" Tom asks, holding the skull. + +"It is a head, but no skin or hair," Sam says. + +"Where did it come from?" Tom wonders. + +"Maybe from a pirate or a dinosaur," Sam guesses. + +They put the skull on the ground and look at it. It has two holes for eyes, one hole for a nose, and many teeth. + +"Can we play with it?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, why not?" Sam says. + +They try to put the hat on the skull, but it is too big. They try to roll the ball to the skull, but it is too hard. They try to make the doll talk to the skull, but it is too quiet. + +"This is no fun," Tom says. + +"Let's find something else to play with," Sam agrees. + +They leave the skull in the box and go to the swing. They push each other and laugh. They have a perfect day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big metal slide. It was shiny and fast. But today, there was a problem. A big dog was sitting on the slide. It was black and furry and had sharp teeth. It growled at Tom and Lily when they came near. + +Tom and Lily were worried. They wanted to slide, but they were scared of the dog. They did not know what to do. They looked around for help. They saw a man walking by. He had a leash in his hand. He was the dog's owner. + +"Excuse me, sir," Tom said. "Can you please move your dog? We want to slide, but he is blocking the way." + +The man looked at Tom and Lily. He saw that they were worried. He cared about them. He did not want them to be sad or scared. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, kids. I didn't know he liked the slide so much. Come on, boy, let's go. There are other things to play with." + +The man called his dog. The dog barked and jumped off the slide. He followed his owner to another part of the park. Tom and Lily were happy. They thanked the man and ran to the slide. They slid down together, laughing and having fun. They were not worried anymore. They were glad that the man cared. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to help their dad with his work. Their dad is a carpenter. He makes things with wood and nails. Sometimes he delivers the things he makes to other people. + +One day, their dad has to deliver a big table to Mrs. Lee. He asks Tim and Sam to come with him. They are happy to go. They put the table in the truck. The table is very heavy. They need to push hard. + +They get to Mrs. Lee's house. She is waiting for them. She says, "Hello, Mr. Smith. Hello, Tim and Sam. Thank you for bringing me the table. It is very nice." + +Their dad says, "You're welcome, Mrs. Lee. We made it with love. Tim and Sam helped me a lot. They are good helpers." + +Mrs. Lee says, "That's wonderful. Can you show me how you made it?" + +Their dad says, "Sure. Come with me. I'll show you my tools." + +They go to the truck. Their dad takes out his saw. He says, "This is my saw. I use it to cut the wood. It is sharp and loud. You have to be careful with it." + +Tim and Sam say, "We know. We saw you use the saw. We wore ear plugs. We did not touch the saw. We are safe." + +Mrs. Lee says, "That's good. You are smart and brave. I like your saw. Can I try it?" + +Their dad says, "Okay. But only with my help. Hold it like this. Don't let go. Ready? One, two, three, saw!" + +Mrs. Lee holds the saw with their dad. They saw a piece of wood. It makes a lot of noise. Mrs. Lee smiles. She says, "That's fun. I like your saw. Thank you for letting me try it." + +Their dad says, "You're welcome, Mrs. Lee. You did a good job. You are a good carpenter too." + +They all laugh. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben love to play in the snow. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They go outside and see a big hill of snow. They run to the hill and start to make snowballs. + +Anna and Ben throw snowballs at each other. They laugh and dodge. Sometimes they hit, sometimes they miss. They have a lot of fun. They are flexible. They can bend and twist and jump. + +Then they see a puddle of water. The sun has melted some of the snow. The puddle is shiny and cold. Anna and Ben run to the puddle and splash. They kick and stomp and splash. They make waves and bubbles. They get wet and cold. They have more fun. They are splashy. + +But then they hear their mom calling. She says it is time to go inside. Anna and Ben stop splashing. They say goodbye to the puddle and the hill. They follow their mom to the house. They take off their wet clothes and put on dry ones. They drink hot chocolate and eat cookies. They are warm and cozy. They are happy. They love winter. +Tom and Lily liked to play near the river. They liked to see the fish and the ducks and the stones. But their mom and dad told them to be careful. The river was dangerous. It could make them fall and hurt. + +One day, Tom and Lily saw a big red ball in the water. It looked fun and shiny. They wanted to get it. They ran to the edge of the river and kneeled down. They reached out their hands to grab the ball. + +But the water was fast and strong. It pulled Tom and Lily into the river. They screamed and splashed. They tried to swim, but they could not. The water was too deep and cold. They sank under the water and did not come up. + +Their mom and dad heard their screams and ran to the river. But they were too late. They could not see Tom and Lily. They only saw the big red ball floating away. They cried and cried. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play near the river. It is dangerous. Listen to your mom and dad. They know what is best for you. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were soldiers and had a big tank that could shoot and make noise. They had fun making the tank go around and knock over the blocks and the dolls. + +But then, their big sister Mia came in. She was angry and said they were making too much noise. She said they had to stop playing with the tank and give it to her. She said it was her tank and they were rude to take it. + +Lily and Tom did not want to give up the tank. They said they were playing nicely and it was their turn. They said Mia was rude to come and take their toy. They said she had many other toys and did not need the tank. + +Mia did not listen. She grabbed the tank and tried to pull it away from Lily and Tom. They held on tight and did not let go. They started to cry and shout. They said Mia was mean and not welcome. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Mia and Lily and Tom fighting over the tank. She was not happy. She said they all had to share and be kind. She said they had to say sorry and welcome each other. She said they had to take turns with the tank and play together. + +Mia, Lily and Tom felt bad. They said sorry and welcome to each other. They hugged and said they loved each other. They agreed to share the tank and play together.

They had many trucks of different colors and sizes. But Ben's favorite truck was an enormous red one. It had big wheels, a loud horn and a long trailer. + +One day, Ben and Sam were playing with their trucks in the sandbox. They made roads, bridges and hills with the sand. They pretended to be drivers and deliver things. Ben was very happy with his enormous red truck. He drove it all over the sandbox. + +"Look, Sam, look at my truck!" Ben said. "It is the biggest and the best truck ever!" + +Sam looked at Ben's truck. He liked it too. But he also liked his own truck. It was a small blue one. It had a siren, a ladder and a hose. It was a fire truck. + +"Your truck is nice, Ben, but so is mine," Sam said. "It is a fire truck. It can put out fires and save people." + +Ben and Sam started to argue about whose truck was better. They raised their voices and made angry faces. They did not want to share their trucks or play together. + +Then, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom calling them. "Ben, Sam, it's time to go inside. Come on, boys, put away your trucks and wash your hands." + +Ben and Sam stopped arguing. They did not want to upset their mom. They quickly lay their trucks on the ground and ran to the house. They forgot to say sorry to each other. + +Later, when they came back to the sandbox, they saw something strange. Their trucks were not where they left them. They were on the other side of the sandbox. And they were not alone. There was a big black cat lying next to them. The cat was playing with their trucks. It was pushing them, biting them and scratching them. + +Ben and Sam gasped. They did not like the cat. The cat was mean and dirty. It was ruining their trucks. + +"Hey, cat, stop that!" Ben shouted. "Those are our trucks. Go away!" + +The cat looked at Ben and Sam. It did not care. It hissed and continued to play with their trucks. + +Ben and Sam felt sad and angry. They wanted their trucks back. But they did not know how to get them. The cat was too big and scary. They needed help. + +They looked at each other. They remembered that they were best friends. They remembered that they liked to play with trucks. They remembered that they had different trucks, but they were both nice. + +They smiled and hugged. They said sorry to each other. They decided to work together. + +They picked up some sticks and stones. They threw them at the cat. They made loud noises and waved their arms. They scared the cat away. + +The cat ran away from the sandbox. It left their trucks behind. Ben and Sam cheered. They got their trucks back. They were happy. + +They looked at their trucks. They saw that they were dirty and scratched. But they did not mind. They still loved their trucks. They decided to share them and play together. + +They drove their trucks in the sandbox. They made roads, bridges and hills with the sand. They pretended to be drivers and deliver things. They had fun. + +They were best friends. And they had the best trucks ever. +Tom and Anna are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a big truck that makes noise and moves. Anna has a doll that can talk and sing. They are having fun, but they also want to buy more toys. + +"Look, Anna, I have money!" Tom says, showing her a shiny coin. "I found it in Mom's purse. We can go to the toy store and buy something new!" + +Anna's eyes grow wide. She wants money too. She looks around and sees Mom's phone on the table. She knows Mom uses it to talk and take pictures. Maybe it has money inside too. + +She grabs the phone and tries to open it. She pulls and twists and bends it, but it does not open. She hears a crack and sees the screen break. It has no money, only wires and glass. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" Tom asks, seeing the broken phone. "You broke Mom's phone! She will be very angry!" + +Anna feels scared and sad. She did not mean to break the phone. She just wanted money. She starts to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I'm sorry!" she says, holding the phone. "I wanted money like you. I thought the phone had money. I didn't know it would break." + +Tom feels sorry for Anna too. He knows she did not do it on purpose. He hugs her and tries to comfort her. + +"It's okay, Anna, it's okay," he says. "Maybe we can fix the phone. Maybe Mom won't be too mad. Maybe we can still buy toys with my money. Don't cry, Anna, don't cry." + +They hear the door open and Mom comes in. She sees them on the floor with the broken phone. She looks surprised and angry. + +"Tom, Anna, what happened here?" she asks. "Who broke my phone? Why did you touch it?" + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They don't know what to say. They are afraid of Mom. They wish they had not played with the phone. They wish they had not wanted money. They wish they had been happy with their toys. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. One day, they want to go to the farm with Mom and Dad. They have to pack their bags. + +Tom packs his cars and his ball. Sam packs his books and his hat. They are ready to go.

He looks angry. + +Tom wants to go near the bull. He thinks he is brave. Sam is scared. He tells Tom to stay away. He says the bull can hurt them. + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the bull. The bull sees Tom and snorts. He lowers his head and charges at Tom. Tom is in trouble. + +Sam is worried. He loves his brother. He does not want him to get hurt. He runs after Tom. He shouts at the bull. He throws his hat at the bull. The bull stops and looks at the hat. He is confused. + +Tom sees Sam. He is happy. He runs back to Sam. They hug each other. They are safe. They say sorry to the bull. They say thank you to Sam. + +Mom and Dad see what happened. They are proud of Sam. They say he is very brave. They hug him and Tom. They say they love them. They go back to the car. They have a good day at the farm. +Lila was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with at school. She only liked to read books and eat grapes. She did not talk to anyone or share her grapes. + +One day, a new boy came to her class. His name was Sam. He was shy and quiet. He sat next to Lila. He saw her reading a book and eating grapes. He liked books and grapes too. + +"Can I read with you?" he asked Lila. + +Lila looked at him. She did not know what to say. She had never talked to anyone before. + +"Please?" Sam said. "I like books. And grapes. Can I have one?" + +Lila thought for a moment. She liked her books and grapes. But she also felt lonely. Maybe Sam could be her friend. + +"Okay," she said. She gave him a book and a grape. "But you have to be quiet." + +Sam smiled. He took the book and the grape. He thanked Lila. He read with her and ate the grape. He was quiet and nice. + +Lila and Sam enjoyed reading and eating grapes together. They found out they had many things in common. They liked the same stories and colors and animals. They started to talk and laugh and play. + +Lila was not lonely anymore. She had a friend. She learned to share her books and grapes. She was happy. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing can make you happy and help you make friends. +Anna liked to sign with her hands. She learned from her teacher, who was deaf. She wanted to talk to her teacher and her friends who were deaf too. She knew how to sign many words, like hello, thank you, and sorry. + +One day, she saw a new boy in her class. He was deaf too, but he did not sign. He only looked at the pictures and the shapes on the wall. Anna wanted to be his friend, so she went to him and signed hello. But he did not look at her. He only looked away. + +Anna felt sad. She tried again and again, but he did not answer. She wondered why he did not sign. She asked her teacher, who was compassionate. She said, "He is new here. He does not know how to sign yet. He is shy and scared. He needs time and help." + +Anna thought about it. She remembered how she felt when she first came to the class. She was shy and scared too. She did not know how to sign either. She needed time and help too. She decided to be compassionate too. + +She went to the boy again. She smiled and gave him a shape. It was a star. She signed star. She pointed to the wall, where there were more shapes. She signed circle, square, and triangle. She pointed to him and signed friend. + +The boy looked at her. He looked at the shape. He looked at the wall. He looked at her again. He smiled and nodded. He signed friend. He signed thank you. He signed star. + +Anna was happy. She signed you're welcome. She signed hello.

Lila had a gray cat puppet and Tom had a brown dog puppet. They put on a show for their mom and dad. + +"Meow, meow, I am a cat. I like to nap and chase the rat," Lila said with her puppet. + +"Woof, woof, I am a dog. I like to run and fetch the log," Tom said with his puppet. + +They made their puppets talk and move. They made funny noises and faces. Their mom and dad watched and smiled. + +"Wow, you are very good at puppet show. You are very creative and clever," their mom said. + +"Yes, you are. We are very proud of you. You make us happy," their dad said. + +They clapped their hands and cheered. They applauded Lila and Tom. Lila and Tom felt happy too. They bowed and thanked their mom and dad. + +"Can we do another show?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, we would love to see more," their mom said. + +"OK, let's do it. This time, the cat and the dog are friends," Tom said. + +They picked up their puppets and started a new show. They had fun and made their mom and dad laugh. They enjoyed playing with their puppets and wool. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play and have fun. But sometimes they also like to scare each other. They think it is funny. + +One day, Tim has a plan. He finds a big shirt in his dad's closet. The shirt is weird. It has eyes and teeth and hair on it. It looks like a monster. Tim puts the shirt on and hides behind the sofa. + +Jen comes into the living room. She does not see Tim. She sees a book on the table. She likes books. She goes to the table and picks up the book. + +Tim waits for the right moment. He jumps out from behind the sofa and roars. He wants to scare Jen. + +But Jen is not scared. She is smart. She knows it is Tim. She sees his feet and his hands under the shirt. She laughs and says, "Nice try, Tim. But you are not a monster. You are just my brother. And you have a weird shirt." + +Tim feels silly. He takes off the shirt and says, "Sorry, Jen. I wanted to scare you. But you are too clever. Can we still play?" + +Jen smiles and says, "Of course we can play. But next time, find a better shirt." +Lila and Sam were very thirsty. They had been walking in the hot sand for a long time. They saw some green trees and a blue pond. They ran to the oasis. + +They drank some water and ate some dates. They felt happy and rested. They saw a big camel with a lot of bags on its back. The camel was sleeping near the pond. + +Lila had an idea. She whispered to Sam, "Let's steal some bags from the camel. Maybe there are toys or candy inside." Sam nodded. He liked toys and candy. + +They crept to the camel and took two bags. They ran away with the bags. They opened them and looked inside. They were confused. There were no toys or candy. There were only rocks and sand. + +They heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw the camel. The camel was awake and angry. It had seen them steal its bags. It chased them with its big teeth and long legs. + +Lila and Sam dropped the bags and ran. But the camel was faster. It caught them and bit them. It hurt them a lot. They cried and wished they had not stolen the bags. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily and Sam were making a cake with Mom. They liked to help Mom in the kitchen. Mom gave them a big bowl and a wooden spoon. She said, "You can stir the flour and the sugar and the eggs. Be careful not to spill." + +Lily and Sam took turns to stir the bowl. They stirred slowly and gently. They watched the flour and the sugar and the eggs become a smooth batter. They smiled at each other. They were good helpers. + +Mom poured some milk and some oil into the bowl. She said, "Now you can stir some more. Stir until there are no lumps. Then we can add some chocolate chips and some vanilla." + +Lily and Sam stirred some more. They stirred faster and harder. They wanted to make the batter perfect. They saw some lumps disappear. They smelled the vanilla. They saw the chocolate chips. They licked their lips. + +Mom said, "That's enough stirring. You did a great job. Now we can put the batter in the pan and bake the cake. But first, you can lick the spoon. It's a treat for good helpers." + +Lily and Sam licked the spoon. They tasted the batter. It was sweet and yummy. They thanked Mom. They gave her a hug. They said, "We love you, Mom. And we love cake." +Ben and Mia liked to bounce. They bounced on their beds, on the sofa, on the trampoline. They bounced everywhere they could. One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big hill with a cliff at the end. They wanted to bounce on the hill. + +"Can we bounce on the hill, mom?" Ben asked. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't go too close to the cliff. It's very high and steep. You could fall and get hurt," mom said. + +Ben and Mia nodded. They ran to the hill and started to bounce. They bounced up and down, higher and higher. They felt amazing. They laughed and shouted. They bounced so high they could see the sky and the birds. + +But they did not see the cliff. They bounced too far and too fast. They bounced over the edge of the cliff. They screamed and held each other. They felt scared and sorry. They wished they had listened to mom. + +Mom saw them bounce over the cliff. She ran to the edge and looked down. She was terrified. She thought they were gone. But then she saw something. She saw a big net. The net was under the cliff. It was for the circus. The circus was in town. The net caught Ben and Mia. They bounced on the net. They were safe. + +Mom was relieved. She ran down the hill and hugged them. She was angry and happy. She scolded them and kissed them. She said they were very lucky. She said they should never bounce on the cliff again. They agreed. They said they were sorry. They said they loved her. + +They went home. They did not bounce for a long time. They learned their lesson. They were more careful. They still liked to bounce. But they bounced in safer places. They bounced on their beds, on the sofa, on the trampoline. They bounced everywhere they could. Except on the cliff. +Lily liked to pretend. She had a big box of clothes and toys that she used for her games. One day, she found a long black skirt in the box. She put it on and wrapped it around her head like a cloak. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She was a scary witch! + +She ran to the living room, where her brother Max was playing with his cars. She jumped out from behind the sofa and shouted, "Boo! I am a scary witch and I will cast a spell on you!" Max looked up and saw Lily in her black skirt. He was not scared. He laughed and said, "You are not a scary witch, you are a silly Lily!" + +Lily was not happy. She wanted to scare Max. She thought of a new plan. She went back to the box and found a plastic spider. She hid it in her hand and ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making cookies. She said, "Mom, look what I found!" She opened her hand and showed the spider to her mom. + +Mom saw the spider and screamed. She dropped the cookies and jumped back. She was very scared. Lily laughed and said, "It is not a real spider, mom, it is a toy! I am a scary witch and I scared you!" Mom looked at Lily and saw her black skirt. She realized it was a joke. She smiled and said, "You are a very clever scary witch, Lily, but you are also a very naughty one. You made me drop the cookies!" + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to make mom drop the cookies. She said, "I am sorry, mom, I was just pretending. Can I help you pick up the cookies?" Mom said, "Yes, you can, Lily, and then you can have one as a treat. But no more scaring, okay?" Lily said, "Okay, mom, no more scaring. I love you, mom." Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a very sweet scary witch." They hugged and picked up the cookies together. +Sara and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But Sara's favorite animal was the hippo. She liked how big and round it was, and how it splashed in the water. + +"Can we go see the hippo again?" Sara asked Mom. + +"Sure, honey, we can go see the hippo again," Mom replied. "But first, let's have some lunch. We brought some sandwiches and juice for you." + +Sara and Ben nodded and followed Mom and Dad to a bench near the pond. They ate their sandwiches and drank their juice. Sara looked at the pond and saw something shiny in the water. She wondered what it was. + +"Mom, what is that?" Sara pointed to the shiny thing. + +Mom looked and smiled. "That's a coin, Sara. Someone threw it in the pond and made a wish." + +"A wish? What is a wish?" Sara asked. + +"A wish is something you want to happen, and you hope it will come true," Mom explained. "Some people believe that if you throw a coin in the pond and make a wish, the pond fairy will hear you and help you." + +Sara thought for a moment. She had something she wanted to happen. She wanted to be friends with the hippo. She liked the hippo very much. + +"Can I throw a coin in the pond and make a wish?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, honey, you can," Mom said. "But be careful not to fall in the water. It's deep and cold." + +Mom gave Sara a coin and helped her stand near the edge of the pond. Sara held the coin in her hand and closed her eyes. She made her wish. + +"I wish I could be friends with the hippo," she whispered. + +Then she opened her eyes and threw the coin in the water. She watched it sink and sparkle. She hoped the pond fairy heard her. + +She turned around and saw the hippo. It was looking at her with its big eyes. It opened its mouth and made a loud noise. + +"Hello, hippo," Sara said. "Do you want to be my friend?" + +The hippo nodded and made another noise. It sounded like a laugh. + +Sara smiled and clapped her hands. She felt warm and happy. Her wish came true. + +She ran to Mom and Dad and hugged them. "The hippo is my friend," she said. "He said hello to me." + +Mom and Dad smiled and hugged her back. "That's wonderful, Sara," they said. "You're very lucky." + +Ben looked at Sara and the hippo. He felt a little jealous. He wanted to make a wish too. He looked at the pond and saw another coin. He had an idea. + +He picked up the coin and ran to the pond. He threw it in the water and made his wish. + +"I wish I could ride the hippo," he said. + +He waited for the pond fairy to help him. He looked at the hippo and waved. + +"Hello, hippo," he said. "Can I ride you?" + +The hippo looked at Ben and shook its head. It made a loud noise. It sounded like a roar. + +Ben felt scared and ran back to Mom and Dad. He cried and hugged them. "The hippo is angry," he said. "He doesn't want me to ride him." + +Mom and Dad comforted him and explained. "The hippo is not angry, Ben. He's just saying no. You can't ride the hippo. He's not a toy. He's a wild animal. You have to respect him and his space." + +Ben nodded and wiped his tears. He understood. He was sorry for his wish. + +He looked at Sara and the hippo. They were still friends. They were playing and splashing in the water. + +He smiled and joined them. He said sorry to the hippo and asked if he could play with him. + +The hippo nodded and made a noise. It sounded like a snort. + +Ben laughed and thanked him. He felt warm and happy too. + +He learned a lesson. He learned that wishes are not always good. He learned that friendship is better than riding. He learned that hippos are cool. +Tom is a fat cat. He likes to sleep and eat. He does not like to play or run. He is lazy and grumpy. + +One day, Tom sees a mouse in the kitchen. The mouse is small and fast. It runs under the table and behind the fridge. Tom thinks the mouse looks tasty. He wants to bite it and eat it. + +Tom gets up and chases the mouse. He is slow and clumsy. He bumps into the chairs and the pots. He makes a lot of noise. The mouse is smart and sneaky. It dodges and hides. It makes fun of Tom. + +Tom gets angry and tired. He tries to catch the mouse with his paw. He misses and hits the knife. The knife is sharp and shiny. It makes a cut on Tom's paw. Tom feels pain and blood. He cries and runs away. + +The mouse is safe and happy. It laughs and cheers. It finds some cheese and nibbles it. It thinks Tom is a silly and fat cat. It does not want to bite him or eat him. It wants to play and run. It is lively and friendly. +Sara and Ben were excited to help Dad fix the bike. Dad had a big box of tools and screws. He showed them how to use a screwdriver and a wrench. Sara and Ben liked to turn the screws and make them tight. + +But one screw was very hard to turn. Ben pushed and pushed, but it did not move. He got angry and hit the screw with the wrench. The screw broke and flew out of the bike. It hit Sara in the face and made her cry. + +Dad was not happy. He told Ben to be careful and not hit things. He said screws are not toys and can hurt people. He hugged Sara and checked her face. He said she was brave and gave her a band-aid. He said he cared about her and Ben very much. + +He found another screw and fixed the bike. He asked Sara and Ben if they wanted to ride it. They said yes and smiled. They put on their helmets and gloves. They followed Dad to the park. They had fun riding the bike and forgot about the bad screw. They learned to be careful and care for each other. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sunflower that grew very tall and had a bright yellow face. They wanted to decorate the sunflower with some ribbons and beads that they found in their room. + +"Let's make the sunflower pretty," said Anna, as she tied a pink ribbon around the stem. + +"Yes, and shiny too," said Ben, as he hung some blue beads on the petals. + +They were having fun, but they did not see that their dog, Spot, was watching them. Spot was a naughty dog who liked to chew on things. He saw the ribbons and beads and thought they were toys. He ran to the sunflower and started to pull and bite on them. + +"Hey, stop that!" shouted Anna, as she saw Spot ruin their decoration. + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" yelled Ben, as he tried to chase Spot away. + +But Spot was faster and stronger than them. He ran away with the ribbons and beads in his mouth, leaving the sunflower bare and sad. + +Anna and Ben were very upset. They loved their sunflower and wanted to make it happy. They hugged the sunflower and said sorry. + +"We are sorry, sunflower. We wanted to decorate you, not hurt you," said Anna. + +"We will find some new ribbons and beads for you, sunflower. And we will keep Spot away from you," said Ben. + +The sunflower did not say anything, but it seemed to smile at them. It was still a big and bright sunflower, and it knew that Anna and Ben were its friends. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. One day, they find a big wheel in the garage. It is red and shiny and has a handle. + +"Let's play with the wheel!" Ben says. He grabs the handle and runs with the wheel. The wheel makes a loud noise on the ground. + +"Wait for me!" Lily says. She runs after Ben and tries to catch the wheel. But Ben is too fast and the wheel is too big. + +"Ben, share the wheel!" Lily says. She is angry and sad. She wants to play with the wheel too. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He is selfish and lazy. He does not want to share the wheel with Lily. He thinks the wheel is more fun than Lily. + +Lily stops running and decides to do something else. She sees a ball and a bat in the grass. She picks them up and starts to hit the ball with the bat. The ball flies high in the air and lands far away. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Ben says. He sees Lily playing with the ball and the bat. He thinks the ball and the bat are more fun than the wheel. He drops the wheel and runs to Lily. + +"Lily, share the ball and the bat!" Ben says. He wants to play with the ball and the bat too. + +"No, they are mine!" Lily says. She is smart and fair. She does not want to share the ball and the bat with Ben. She remembers how Ben did not share the wheel with her. + +"Please, Lily, please!" Ben says. He is sorry and sad. He wishes he shared the wheel with Lily. + +Lily thinks for a moment and decides to be nice. She knows how it feels to be left out. She smiles and gives the bat to Ben. + +"OK, Ben, you can play with me. But next time, you have to share the wheel too." Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I will share the wheel with you next time." Ben says. + +They hug and play with the ball and the bat. They have fun and learn to share. The wheel stays in the garage. It is lonely and bored. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They were very popular with the other kids. + +One day, they saw a big map on the wall of the park. It had many colors and shapes. Lily pointed to a red shape and said, "This is east. My grandma lives there. She sends me letters and cookies. I love her very much." + +Ben looked at the map and said, "No, this is not east. This is west. East is the other way. My dad told me. He knows everything. You are wrong." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "No, you are wrong. You are mean. You don't know anything. I don't want to be your friend anymore." She ran away and cried. + +Ben felt sorry and confused. He said, "But I was only trying to help. I don't want to lose my friend. What can I do?" + +He thought for a while and then he had an idea. He ran to the store and bought a big cookie. He wrote a note on it with a marker. It said, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. You are my best friend. Love, Ben." + +He ran back to the park and looked for Lily. He found her sitting on a bench, still crying. He gave her the cookie and the note. He said, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. You are my best friend. Love, Ben." + +Lily looked at the cookie and the note. She smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "I'm sorry too. I forgive you. You are my best friend. Love, Lily." + +They ate the cookie together and shared their stories about their grandma and their dad. They learned that east and west are different, but both are good. They played in the park again and were happy. They were still very popular with the other kids. +Once upon a time, there was a little bird. The bird woke up today and saw that the sun was rising. It was a beautiful day. The bird wanted to fly and play outside. But before going out, the bird looked at its feathers and saw that they were dirty. So, the bird went to take a bath. + +After the bath, the bird flew outside and played with its friends. They had so much fun! But then, a big, mean cat appeared. The cat chased the little bird and caught it. The bird tried to fly away, but it was too late. The cat took the little bird away and the other birds never saw it again. + +The end. +Once there was a girl named Lily. She loved to paint with her purple paint. One day, she went to the beach with her family. They saw a big boat with a sail. Lily wanted to go on the boat so she could paint a picture of it. Her parents said yes and they went on the boat. Lily saw the big sail and painted it purple in her picture. She was very happy and showed her parents her painting when they got off the boat. They were proud of her. +Once upon a time, there was a gray cat. The cat liked to play outside in the sun. One day, the cat met a girl who wanted to pet her. The cat sneezed and ran away because she didn't want to be petted. + +Later that day, the cat saw a bird in a tree. The cat wanted to catch the bird, but the girl was still there. The cat tried to ignore the girl and climbed up the tree. Suddenly, the branch broke and the cat fell down. The girl tried to help the cat, but it was too late. The cat didn't move anymore. + +The girl was very sad and cried a lot. She didn't know what to do without her new friend. From that day on, the girl always remembered the gray cat that she met and how she wished she could have helped her. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One day, she was walking in the park when she saw her friend, Timmy. Timmy asked Lily, "Will you marry me someday?" Lily replied, "I don't know, Timmy. I'm only three years old!" + +As they continued to walk, they saw a tree with beautiful leaves. Lily wanted to pick some, but Timmy warned her, "Be careful, Lily. You might fall!" Lily was grateful for Timmy's advice and they continued to play together. + +Later that day, Lily went home and told her mom about Timmy's proposal. Her mom chuckled and said, "You're too young to get married, but it's nice that Timmy likes you." Lily smiled and felt happy that she had a good friend like Timmy. +Once upon a time, there was a baby named Lily. Lily was very small and could not talk yet. She liked to sleep a lot and would wake up when she was hungry or needed a diaper change. + +One day, Lily's mommy woke her up and said, "Look Lily, you're standing up all by yourself!" Lily was so proud of herself and smiled a big smile. + +From that day on, Lily tried to stand up more and more. She would wake up from her naps and practice standing until she got better and better. Her mommy was always proud of her and would clap and cheer her on. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a new toy that she loved very much. One day, Lily's friend came over to play. Her friend saw the new toy and wanted to play with it too. Lily said, "Sure, I can lend it to you for a little while." + +After a while, Lily's friend wanted to keep the new toy. Lily said, "No, it's mine. I just lent it to you for a little while." Her friend got upset and said, "But I want it!" Lily explained, "It's important to share and be kind. I can lend it to you again another day, but for now, it's time to give it back." + +Lily's friend learned that it's not nice to take things that belong to others. They played with other toys and had fun together. From that day on, they both shared their toys and played together happily. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to draw and color with her crayons. One day, she was drawing a picture of a flower, but she made a mistake and wanted to erase it. She looked for her eraser but she couldn't find it. + +Lily's mom asked her, "Did you forget where you put your eraser?" Lily replied, "Yes, I forget." Her mom helped her look for it and they finally found it under the bed. + +Lily learned that it's important to keep things in a light and easy-to-remember place so she doesn't forget where she put them. She also learned that when she makes a mistake, it's okay to use an eraser and start again. The moral of the story is to always remember where you put your things and to not be afraid to make mistakes because you can always fix them. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One day, she went to the farm with her mommy and daddy. They saw a big field with tall plants. Lily ran to the field and saw something yellow. It was a corn! She picked it up and showed it to her parents. They examined it and saw that it was fresh and good to eat. + +Lily was happy and wanted to eat the corn, but it was still hot. She waited for a while, but she was so hungry that she took a bite. It hurt her mouth because it was still hot! She learned that she should wait for the corn to cool down before eating it.

He pulled the bowl of soup towards him and burned his tongue. + +"Ouch! Hot!" cried Timmy. + +His mom said, "I told you to wait for the soup to cool down. Now you learned that pulling things towards you can be dangerous. Always listen to grown-ups, they know what's best for you." + +From that day on, Timmy always waited for his food to cool down before eating it. He also learned that it's important to be patient and listen to others. +Once upon a time, there was a little white bunny. The bunny loved to play and hop around in the grass.
