They laugh and have fun. + +One day, they play catch in the park. They see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. The dog likes the ball too. He runs after the ball and catches it in his mouth. He does not give it back. + +"Hey, that is our ball!" Tom says. He tries to get the ball from the dog. But the dog is faster and stronger. He runs away with the ball. + +"Come back, dog!" Sam says. He chases the dog. But the dog is too fast. He runs to the other side of the park. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They want their ball back. They are also tired and sleepy. They sit on a bench and rest. + +A lady comes to the park. She has a leash in her hand. She sees the dog with the ball. She calls the dog. + +"Rex, come here! Drop the ball!" she says. The dog hears her voice. He knows she is his owner. He drops the ball and runs to her. He wags his tail. + +The lady sees Tom and Sam. She smiles and walks to them. She gives them the ball. + +"I'm sorry, boys. Rex loves to play with balls. He did not mean to take your ball. He just wanted to play with you," she says. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They get their ball back. They thank the lady and Rex. They pet the dog. He licks their faces. + +"Can we play catch with Rex?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, if you want. Rex likes to make new friends," the lady says. + +Tom and Sam smile. They play catch with Rex. They have more fun. They are not sad or sleepy anymore. They are glad. +Anna and Ben were going to the park with Mom. They put on their coats and hats and gloves. Mom helped them with their zippers. "There, you are all warm and cozy," she said. + +But when they opened the door, they saw a lot of snow outside. It was white and fluffy and covered everything. "Wow, look at the snow!" Anna said. "It's so pretty!" + +Ben wanted to play in the snow. He picked up some and made a snowball. He threw it at Anna. "Hey, that's not fair!" Anna said. She made a snowball too and threw it back at Ben. They laughed and chased each other in the snow. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She liked to see them happy. But she also knew they had to go to the park soon. She called them. "Anna, Ben, come on, we have to go. The park will close soon." + +Anna and Ben did not want to go. They wanted to stay in the snow. They said, "Please, Mom, can we play a little more? Just a little more?" + +Mom looked at the clock. She saw they had some time left. She said, "Okay, you can play a little more. But only for five minutes. Then we have to go. No more delays." + +Anna and Ben were happy. They thanked Mom and hugged her. They said, "You are the best, Mom. Thank you for letting us play." + +Mom hugged them back. She said, "You are welcome, my loves. But remember, five minutes only. Then we have to zip up and go." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They ran back to the snow. They made a big snowman. They gave him a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very proud of their snowman. They thought he was impressive. They showed him to Mom. Mom agreed. She said, "He is very impressive. You did a great job." + +Then she looked at the clock again. She said, "Time's up. We have to go now. Come on, let's go to the park." + +Anna and Ben said goodbye to their snowman. They said, "We will see you later, Mr. Snowman. Have fun in the snow." + +They followed Mom to the car. They zipped up their coats and got in. They buckled their seat belts. They drove to the park. They had a lot of fun there too. They played on the swings and the slide and the seesaw. They met some friends and shared their snacks. They had a wonderful day. They were happy and grateful. They loved Mom and each other. They loved the snow and the park. They loved life. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Lily saw the freezer and opened it. She saw a big tub of ice cream. She wanted some. + +"Ben, look! Ice cream!" she yelled. + +Ben ran over and saw the ice cream too. He wanted some as well. + +"Can we have some, please?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. She grabbed a spoon and scooped some ice cream. She put it in her mouth. It was very cold and bitter. She made a face and spat it out. + +"Yuck! This is not ice cream!" she cried. + +Ben looked at the tub. It said "Lemon Sorbet". He did not know what that meant. He thought it was ice cream too. He took a spoonful and tried it. He also felt the cold and bitter taste. He spit it out too. + +"Yuck! This is not ice cream!" he agreed. + +They threw the spoons in the sink and ran away from the freezer. They did not like lemon sorbet. They wanted real ice cream. They decided to play with something else. They hoped their mom would come home soon and give them some real ice cream. They liked sweet and creamy ice cream. Not cold and bitter ice cream. +Lily and Ben wanted to go camping in the garden. They had a big tent that their dad gave them. They put the tent on the grass and tried to fill it with air. But the air pump was broken. It made a loud noise and no air came out. + +"Oh no, what do we do now?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe we can blow into it with our mouths," Ben said. + +They took turns blowing into the tent, but it was very hard. They got tired and dizzy. The tent was still flat and floppy. + +"This is no fun," Lily said. "I want to go inside and watch TV." + +"No, we can't give up," Ben said. "We have to be patient. Maybe dad can fix the pump." + +They waited for their dad to come home from work. They sat on the grass and looked at the sky. They saw some clouds that looked like animals. They played a game of guessing what they were. + +"Look, that one is a rabbit," Lily said. + +"And that one is a dragon," Ben said. + +They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the tent for a while. + +Soon, they heard their dad's car in the driveway. They ran to him and hugged him. + +"Dad, dad, can you help us?" Lily said. + +"What's wrong, kids?" dad asked. + +"Our tent is broken. The pump doesn't work. Can you fix it?" Ben said. + +Dad looked at the tent and the pump. He smiled and nodded. + +"Sure, I can fix it. It's just a loose wire. You two have been very patient. Let me get my tools and I'll have it ready in no time." + +Lily and Ben cheered. They thanked their dad and helped him carry the tools. They watched him fix the pump and fill the tent with air. The tent became big and round and cozy. + +"Wow, it's amazing," Lily said. + +"Thank you, dad. You're the best," Ben said. + +Dad hugged them and kissed them. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm proud of you. You didn't give up and you had fun. Now you can enjoy your camping adventure. Do you want me to join you?" + +"Yes, please," Lily and Ben said. + +They all went inside the tent and snuggled together. They told stories and sang songs. They had a wonderful time. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to eat cereal for breakfast. They had a big box of cereal with many colors and shapes. Sometimes they played with the cereal and made funny pictures on their plates. + +One morning, Ben had an idea. He wanted to make a surprise for Lily. He took some cereal and hid it under his napkin. He smiled and waited for Lily to come. + +Lily came and sat next to Ben. She poured some cereal on her plate and started to eat. She did not see the cereal under Ben's napkin. + +"Look, Lily," Ben said. He lifted his napkin and pointed at the cereal. "I made a face for you!" + +Lily looked and saw the cereal. It was a face with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. But the mouth was not smiling. It was frowning and had two sharp teeth. + +Lily screamed and jumped back. She was scared of the face. She thought it was a monster. + +Ben laughed and laughed. He thought it was funny. He was playful and liked to make jokes. + +Lily was not happy. She was angry and sad. She did not like Ben's joke. She did not think it was funny. + +She grabbed some cereal and threw it at Ben. It hit him on the head and made a mess. + +Ben stopped laughing and looked at Lily. He saw that she was crying. He felt sorry and bad. He did not mean to make her cry. + +He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. I love you." + +He hugged Lily and gave her a kiss. He said, "Do you want to share my cereal?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "I love you too, Ben. But don't scare me again." + +They ate their cereal and made happy faces on their plates. They were twins who liked to eat cereal for breakfast. +Sara and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise outside. It was a hurricane. The wind was blowing hard and the rain was falling fast. + +"Mommy, what is that?" Sara asked, feeling scared. + +"That is a hurricane, Sara. It is a big storm that can make things fly and break. We have to stay inside and be safe," Mommy said, hugging Sara and Tom. + +"Can we play with our toys?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, you can, but you have to be careful and share. Don't fight or break anything," Mommy said. + +Sara and Tom nodded and went back to their toys. Sara wanted to play with the doll, but Tom grabbed it first. + +"Give me the doll, Tom. It is mine," Sara said, pulling the doll. + +"No, it is mine. I saw it first," Tom said, pulling back. + +They both pulled and pulled until the doll ripped. The stuffing came out and the head fell off. Sara and Tom gasped. + +"Look what you did! You broke the doll!" Sara cried. + +"It is your fault! You squeezed it too hard!" Tom yelled. + +Mommy heard them and came to see what happened. She saw the broken doll and the angry children. + +"What is going on here? Why did you break the doll?" Mommy asked. + +Sara and Tom blamed each other and started to cry. + +Mommy sighed and said, "Sara, Tom, listen to me. Fighting and squeezing are not good. They can hurt people and things. You have to be patient and kind. You have to share and take turns. That is how you can be good friends and have fun. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Tom nodded and said, "We are sorry, Mommy. We are sorry, doll." + +Mommy smiled and said, "It is okay. I forgive you. And I think the doll can be fixed. Let's go and find some thread and a needle. And maybe we can find some other toys to play with, too." + +Sara and Tom hugged Mommy and said, "Thank you, Mommy. We love you." + +They followed Mommy to the sewing room and helped her fix the doll. Then they found some cars and blocks and books to play with. They shared and took turns and said nice words. They forgot about the hurricane and had fun. They learned to be patient and kind. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy dinosaurs in the garden. They liked to make them roar and stomp and fight. Lily had a big green dinosaur with sharp teeth and a long tail. Ben had a small yellow dinosaur with a horn and a hard scale on its back. + +"Rawr! My dinosaur is stronger than yours!" Lily said, making her dinosaur bite Ben's dinosaur. + +"No, mine is faster and smarter!" Ben said, making his dinosaur dodge and ram Lily's dinosaur. + +They played like this for a while, until they heard a loud noise from the shed. It sounded like something was moving and scratching inside. + +"What's that?" Lily asked, feeling scared. + +"Let's go and see!" Ben said, feeling curious. + +They left their toy dinosaurs on the grass and walked slowly towards the shed. They opened the door and peeked inside. They saw a big box with holes in it. The noise was coming from the box. + +"Maybe it's a present!" Ben said, reaching for the box. + +"Wait, don't touch it!" Lily said, pulling him back. + +But it was too late. The box shook and burst open. Out came a real dinosaur! It was bigger than Lily and Ben, and had red scales, a long neck, and a small head. It looked at them with big eyes and made a soft sound. + +Lily and Ben trembled with fear. They thought the dinosaur was going to eat them. They ran back to the garden, screaming for help. + +But the dinosaur did not follow them. It did not want to hurt them. It was lonely and hungry. It saw the toy dinosaurs on the grass and thought they were its friends. It picked them up gently and played with them. It also saw some apples and carrots in a basket and ate them. It was happy and full. + +Lily and Ben's mom heard their screams and came out of the house. She saw the dinosaur in the garden and gasped. She recognized it from a book she had read. It was a brontosaurus, a plant-eating dinosaur that lived a long time ago. She wondered how it got here. + +She called Lily and Ben and told them not to be afraid. She explained that the dinosaur was not dangerous and that it needed their help. She said that someone had sent it to them by mistake and that they had to find a way to send it back to where it belonged. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for the dinosaur. They decided to be brave and generous. They went back to the garden and gave the dinosaur some more food and water. They also gave it their toy dinosaurs as a gift. They petted it and talked to it. The dinosaur liked them and made happy sounds. + +They called the number on the box and told them what happened. They said they wanted to keep the dinosaur, but they knew it was not fair. They asked them to come and get the dinosaur and take it to a safe place. + +Soon, a big truck arrived. The people inside were very sorry and thanked Lily and Ben for taking care of the dinosaur. They said they had a special farm where they kept dinosaurs and other animals that came from the past. They said they would take good care of the dinosaur and let it live with other dinosaurs like it. + +They put the dinosaur in a big cage and loaded it on the truck. The dinosaur looked sad and scared. Lily and Ben hugged it and said goodbye. They told it they would miss it and that they hoped it would be happy. + +The dinosaur nodded and made a soft sound. It remembered Lily and Ben and their toy dinosaurs. It was grateful and sad. It hoped it would see them again. + +The truck drove away. Lily and Ben waved and cried. They went back to the house and looked at the book about dinosaurs. They learned more about the brontosaurus and other dinosaurs. They wondered if they would ever meet another dinosaur. + +They kept the toy dinosaurs as a memory of their adventure. They played with them every day and told them stories about their real dinosaur friend. They never forgot the day they met a dinosaur. +Anna loved to play the piano. She liked to press the keys and make sounds. Some sounds were high and some were low. She learned how to make songs with her fingers. + +One day, Anna saw a big piano in the hall. It was shiny and black. It had many more keys than her small piano. She wanted to try it. She looked around and saw no one. She ran to the big piano and climbed on the stool. + +She reached for the keys and pressed them. They made deep sounds that filled the hall. She felt happy and excited. She played faster and louder. She did not hear the footsteps behind her. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" It was her mom. She sounded angry and scared. Anna turned around and saw her mom's face. She looked mad and sad. Anna felt bad and scared. She did not mean to make trouble. + +She jumped off the stool and ran to her mom. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to play the big piano. It was so pretty and fun. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I'm not mad at you, Anna. I'm glad you love music. But you can't play the big piano without permission. It belongs to someone else. It is very expensive and delicate. You could break it or hurt yourself. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I won't do it again. I'm sorry." + +Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. But you have to be careful and respectful. Come on, let's go home. I have a surprise for you." + +They walked to the car. Anna wondered what the surprise was. She hoped it was something good. She felt sorry for playing the big piano. She rubbed her eyes and sniffed. + +When they got home, Anna saw a big box in the living room. It had a bow and a card. Her mom said, "This is for you, Anna. Happy birthday. I hope you like it." + +Anna opened the box and gasped. It was a new piano. It was bigger than her old one, but smaller than the big one. It was white and shiny. It had many keys and buttons. It looked beautiful and fun. + +Anna hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love it. It's the best gift ever. Can I play it?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, you can. It's your piano. You can play it anytime you want. But remember to be careful and respectful. And practice every day. Maybe one day, you can play the big piano in the hall. But only with permission." + +Anna smiled and said, "Okay, mom. I will. I love you." + +She climbed on the stool and pressed the keys. They made high and low sounds that filled the living room. She felt happy and excited. She played a song with her fingers. It was her favorite song. It was the song her mom taught her. It was the song of the piano. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They had a group of toys that they shared. One day, they found a new toy in the grass. It was a star that could shine in different colors. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara said. "It is so pretty and bright. Can I have it?" + +Tom looked at the star and liked it too. He wanted to play with it too. But he saw that Sara was very happy. He was a humble boy who did not like to fight. + +"Okay, you can have it," he said. "But can we take turns?" + +Sara smiled and hugged Tom. She was a kind girl who liked to share. + +"Of course, we can take turns," she said. "You are a good friend. Thank you." + +They played with the star for a long time. They made it shine in different colors and shapes. They had a lot of fun. They put the star in their group of toys and promised to play with it again. They were happy and grateful. +Tom and Lily like to eat yogurt. They have a big bowl of yogurt with fruit and honey. They eat with spoons and make happy sounds. + +But one day, a fierce dog comes to their house. The dog is big and black and has sharp teeth. He barks and growls and jumps on the fence. Tom and Lily are scared. They drop their spoons and run inside. + +The dog sees the yogurt. He likes yogurt too. He jumps over the fence and runs to the bowl. He licks the yogurt with his tongue and makes messy sounds. + +Tom and Lily peek from the window. They see the dog eating their yogurt. They are sad and angry. They want their yogurt back. They think of a plan. + +They find a big stick and a loud horn. They go outside and sneak behind the dog. They shout and wave the stick and blow the horn. The dog is surprised and scared. He drops the bowl and runs away. + +Tom and Lily pick up the bowl. The yogurt is still there. They are happy and brave. They eat the yogurt with spoons and make happy sounds. They share with their cat, who likes yogurt too. The end. +Lily loves to swing. She likes to go high and fast. She likes to feel the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She likes to see the trees and the sky and the birds. + +Daddy pushes her on the swing. He is strong and kind. He makes her laugh and sing. He says, "Hold on tight, Lily. I will push you higher and higher." + +Lily says, "Yes, Daddy. Push me higher and higher. I want to touch the sky." She holds on tight and smiles. She feels happy and free. + +But then, something happens. Lily feels funny. She feels her tummy go up and down. She feels her head go round and round. She feels dizzy. She says, "Daddy, stop. I feel dizzy. I want to get off the swing." + +Daddy hears her and stops. He says, "Okay, Lily. I will stop. I will help you get off the swing." He holds her hand and lifts her off the swing. He hugs her and kisses her. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to make you dizzy. Are you okay?" + +Lily nods and says, "I'm okay, Daddy. Thank you for pushing me on the swing. It was fun. But I don't want to swing anymore. I want to sit with you and drink some water." + +Daddy says, "That's a good idea, Lily. Let's sit with you and drink some water. And maybe eat a cookie. And maybe read a book. And maybe cuddle. I love you, Lily." + +Lily says, "I love you, Daddy." She snuggles with him and feels better. She thinks, "Swinging is fun, but dizzy is not. Daddy is the best." +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long yellow hair that Sara liked to comb. Sara had a pink comb that she used only for Lily. + +One day, Sara's mom said, "Sara, we are going to visit grandma today. Do you want to bring Lily with you?" Sara nodded and smiled. She ran to her room and picked up Lily and her comb. She wanted to make Lily look pretty for grandma. + +On the way to grandma's house, Sara sat in the back seat with Lily. She combed Lily's hair and talked to her. "Lily, you are going to meet my grandma. She is very nice and she likes dolls. She will be happy to see you." Sara said. + +When they arrived at grandma's house, Sara jumped out of the car and ran to the door. She rang the bell and waited. Grandma opened the door and smiled. She saw Sara and Lily and said, "Hello, Sara! Hello, Lily! You are both so cheerful and beautiful! Come in, come in!" + +Sara hugged grandma and said, "Hi, grandma! I brought Lily to see you. She is my best doll. Look, I combed her hair with my pink comb." Sara raised Lily and showed her to grandma. + +Grandma took Lily and said, "Oh, Sara, Lily is lovely. And your pink comb is very pretty. You know, I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the living room." Grandma led Sara and Lily to the living room. There, on the couch, was a big box with a bow. Grandma said, "This is for you, Sara. Open it and see what's inside." + +Sara was curious and excited. She opened the box and gasped. Inside was a new doll. She had long brown hair and a blue dress. She looked like Sara. Sara took the doll and said, "Wow, grandma, thank you! She is amazing! What is her name?" + +Grandma smiled and said, "Her name is Rose. She is your new friend. And look, she has a comb too. A blue comb that matches her dress. You can comb her hair and Lily's hair together." + +Sara was very happy. She hugged grandma and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you, grandma! And I love Rose and Lily! They are my best dolls ever!" Sara combed Rose's hair and Lily's hair with their combs. She played with them and talked to them. She was cheerful and grateful. Grandma watched her and smiled. She was glad to see Sara so happy. She thought, "This is the best day ever." +Ben and Mia liked to play hide and seek in the park. They took turns to count and hide. One day, they saw a big boat on the lake. It was unique. It had many colors and shapes on it. It looked like a toy. + +"Wow, look at that boat!" Mia said. "It is so pretty and fun!" + +"Let's go see it!" Ben said. "Maybe we can hide on it!" + +They ran to the boat and climbed on board. They saw many rooms and things on the boat. They decided to hide in different places. Mia hid under a table with a cloth. Ben hid in a closet with some coats. + +"Ready or not, here I come!" Mia shouted. She got out of her hiding spot and looked for Ben. She searched the boat, but she could not find him. She called his name, but he did not answer. + +"Ben, where are you?" Mia said. "This is not fun anymore!" + +She started to feel scared and lonely. She wished she had not left the park. She wanted to go back to her mom and dad. + +Meanwhile, Ben heard Mia's voice. He wanted to surprise her, so he stayed quiet in his hiding spot. He thought she would find him soon. He did not know she was scared and lonely. He did not know the boat was about to move. + +Suddenly, the boat started to make a loud noise. It began to move on the lake. Ben and Mia felt the boat shake and sway. They both got out of their hiding spots and ran to the deck. They saw the water and the shore. They saw their mom and dad waving and shouting. + +"Help! Help!" Ben and Mia cried. "We are on the boat! We want to go back!" + +The boat's driver heard their cries. He saw the two children on his boat. He was surprised and angry. He did not know they had sneaked on his boat. He turned the boat around and brought them back to the shore. He scolded them for being naughty and dangerous. + +Ben and Mia were sorry and scared. They hugged their mom and dad. They said they were sorry and they would never do it again. They learned their lesson. They decided to play hide and seek in the park, not on the boat. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with shapes. They have a box of shapes. They have circles, squares, triangles and more. They take turns to pick a shape and show it to each other. + +Sam picks a triangle. He says, "Look, Ben, I have a triangle. It has three sides and three points. Do you like it?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, Sam, I like it. It is a nice shape. Can I see it?" + +Sam gives the triangle to Ben. Ben holds it and looks at it. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You share your shapes with me." + +Sam smiles. He says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are kind and polite." + +They hug each other. They are happy. They hear a sound. It is a whistle. They look around. They see a bird. The bird is on a branch. The bird is whistling. The bird is friendly. The bird says, "Hello, Sam and Ben. You are nice children. You play well together. You share your shapes. You are good friends." + +Sam and Ben wave to the bird. They say, "Hello, bird. You are a nice bird. You whistle well. You are friendly." + +The bird whistles again. It says, "Thank you, Sam and Ben. You are welcome. I like to see you happy. Happiness is good. Friendship is good. Sharing is good. Be happy, be friends, and share always." + +Sam and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, bird. We agree. Happiness is good. Friendship is good. Sharing is good. We will be happy, be friends, and share always." + +The bird flies away. Sam and Ben go back to their box of shapes. They pick another shape and show it to each other. They are happy, they are friends, and they share. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that sharing, friendship and happiness are good values to have and practice. +Sara and Ben are twins who like to play in their room. They have many toys, books and games, but they do not like to put them away. Their room is always messy and their mom is always angry. + +One day, their mom gave them a radio as a gift. She said, "This is a special radio. It can play songs and stories for you. But you have to keep it clean and safe. Do not leave it on the floor or near water. And do not turn it too loud or too soft. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. Thank you for the radio. We will take good care of it." They were very happy and excited. They took the radio to their room and turned it on. They heard a nice song and started to dance and sing. + +But soon, they got bored of the song and wanted to hear a story. They turned the knob on the radio, but they could not find a story. They only heard noises and voices that they did not understand. They turned the knob more and more, but they still could not find a story. They got frustrated and angry. They started to argue and blame each other. + +"Why did you turn it so loud? Now it is broken!" Sara said. + +"No, you turned it too soft! Now it is lost!" Ben said. + +They pushed and pulled the radio, but it did not work. They heard a loud crack and saw sparks and smoke. The radio was broken. They were scared and sad. They cried and hugged each other. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the broken radio and the messy room. She was very disappointed and sad. She said, "What happened here? I gave you a nice radio, but you did not take care of it. You did not listen to me or to the radio. You did not respect your gift or each other. You made a big mistake." + +Sara and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were not careful. We did not follow your rules. We did not cooperate. We made a big mistake. Can you fix the radio?" + +Their mom shook her head and said, "No, I cannot fix the radio. It is too damaged. You have to learn from your mistake. You have to be more organized and responsible. You have to listen and follow instructions. You have to share and be kind. You have to guess what the radio would say if it could talk. What do you think it would say?" + +Sara and Ben thought hard and said, "We think the radio would say, 'Please keep me clean and safe. Please do not leave me on the floor or near water. Please do not turn me too loud or too soft. Please enjoy my songs and stories. Please be happy and friendly.'" + +Their mom smiled and said, "That is a good guess. I think the radio would say that too. And I think you would be happier and friendlier if you did that too. Do you want to try?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We want to try. We want to be more organized and responsible. We want to listen and follow instructions. We want to share and be kind. We want to enjoy our toys, books and games. We want to be happy and friendly." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "That is good. I am proud of you. I love you. Maybe one day, I will get you another radio. But for now, you have to clean up your room and say sorry to each other. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We can do that. We love you too." They started to clean up their room and say sorry to each other. They felt better and learned a lesson. They guessed what the radio would say and they said it too. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were spies and use the radio to talk to each other. They had a secret code and a secret mission. They had to find the hidden treasure in the house. + +But they were naughty. They did not listen to Mom when she told them to stay away from the radio. She said it was not a toy and it was very important. She said it was for emergencies only. She said she would be very angry if they touched it. + +Lily and Tom did not care. They thought Mom was boring and they wanted to have fun. They took the radio and hid under the table. They whispered and giggled and made funny noises. They did not notice that they pressed a button on the radio. They did not know that they were sending a signal to the police. + +The police heard the radio and thought there was a problem. They thought someone was in trouble and needed help. They got in their cars and drove very fast to the house. They turned on their sirens and their lights.

We can play with the train without it." + +"How?" Sara asks. She takes her thumb out of her mouth. + +"Look," Ben says. He picks up the train. He makes sounds with his mouth. He makes the train go around the room. He makes the train stop and go. He makes the train say "choo-choo". + +Sara smiles. She thinks Ben is funny. She picks up another train.

They had not noticed them before. They were red and blue and purple. They smelled nice. + +They felt silly. They said to the man, "Thank you. We are sorry. We did not know the bee was harmless.

He wanted to blow in it too. He said, "No, Lily, it is my turn. You always find the best things. Give me the pipe." + +Lily did not want to give the pipe to Tom. She said, "No, Tom, it is mine. I found it first. You can blow in it later." + +Tom and Lily started to pull the pipe. They both wanted it. They did not see the big dog that came near them. The dog saw the pipe. He thought it was a bone. He barked and jumped on Tom and Lily. He took the pipe in his mouth and ran away. + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They lost the pipe. They looked at each other. They said, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom. We were silly. We should have shared the pipe. Maybe the dog will bring it back." + +They hugged and went to look for the dog.

It was a special pipe that made them friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. They have a task to do. They have to clean up their toys before lunch. + +Anna wants to play with the red car. Ben wants to play with the red car too. They both reach for the car. + +"Mine!" Anna says. + +"No, mine!"

Sometimes, he would let the twins ride on his back or pull them in a cart. + +One day, Ben and Jen's mom told them that they had to go to the city with their dad for a week. They had to visit their grandma, who was sick. The twins were sad, because they would miss Billy and the other animals. They hugged Billy and said goodbye. + +"Be good, Billy," Ben said. "We will come back soon." + +"Don't worry, Billy," Jen said. "We will bring you a present." + +Billy nodded and bleated. He watched them leave in the car. + +While the twins were gone, Billy was lonely. He missed his friends, and he had no one to play with. He became bored and angry. He started to chew on the fence, the clothesline, and the flowers. He knocked over the buckets, the barrels, and the chairs. He made a big mess on the farm. + +The farmer, who was Ben and Jen's uncle, was not happy. He scolded Billy and tied him to a tree.

They learned that love is the best present of all. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the store with Lily's mom. The store has many toys.

Why don't you give it back to me and I will give you a sticker?" + +Lily did not like the man. She did not want to share. She did not want a sticker. She wanted the teddy bear.

Do you want to play with me?" + +Max said, "Sure, but I don't have any clothes like yours. Can I borrow some from your box?" + +Lily said, "No, you can't. These are my clothes. You can't touch them. You have to play with your car." + +Max felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair. You have so many clothes and I have none. You are not a good friend. You are selfish." + +Lily said, "No, I am not. I am a princess. And princesses can do whatever they want. You have to do what I say. I demand that you play with me and my clothes." + +Max said, "No, I don't. You are not a princess. You are a bossy girl. I don't want to play with you anymore. I want to go home." + +He turned around and walked to the door. Lily felt confused and sorry. She realized that she had hurt Max's feelings. She remembered that Max was her friend and that he always shared his toys with her. She thought that she had been very mean and rude. She wanted to make up with Max and have fun with him.

She looked around her room and saw a spider on the wall. She was scared of spiders. She screamed and ran to her mommy. + +Her mommy was angry. She said Sara was being silly and loud. She said spiders were not bad. They were small and harmless and helped to catch flies. She said Sara should not be afraid of them.

He sees a big rock near the fence. He has an idea. + +"Let's weigh the rock!" he says. "We can use the wire as a scale!" + +He picks up the wire and wraps it around the rock. He holds the hook in his hand and lifts the rock. + +"Wow, it's heavy!" he says. "Can you guess how much it weighs?" + +Anna looks at the rock. She does not know how to weigh things. She does not know what a scale is. She does not know what a pound or a kilo is. She only knows big and small, light and heavy. + +"I don't know," she says. "Maybe it weighs... a lot?" + +Tom laughs. He thinks Anna is funny. He likes playing with her. + +"Maybe it does," he says. "But I have a better idea. Let's swing the rock!" + +He swings the rock with the wire.

She likes swinging the rock. + +"Yay, this is fun!" she says. "Let's swing it higher!" + +They swing the rock higher and higher. They do not see the unknown man who is watching them from the other side of the fence. He is angry. He does not like children. He does not like noise. He does not like his wire being used as a toy. + +He shouts at them. He tells them to stop. He tells them to give him back his wire. He tells them to go away. + +Tom and Anna are scared. They do not know the man. They do not know why he is mad. They do not know what to do. + +They drop the wire and the rock. They run to the house. They tell their mom what happened. + +Their mom hugs them. She tells them they are safe. She tells them they did nothing wrong. She tells them the wire belongs to the electric company. She tells them the man is a worker who is fixing the power lines. She tells them he should not have yelled at them. She tells them he should have been nicer. + +Tom and Anna feel better. They understand now. They are not afraid anymore. + +They go back to the backyard. They find a new toy to play with. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of toys and clothes because their parents were wealthy. They did not like to share with other kids. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a red jacket with a zipper. Tom and Mia wanted the jacket. They ran to the boy and tried to pull the zipper. + +"Hey, stop that!" the boy said. "This is my jacket. Go away!" + +"No, we want it!" Tom and Mia said. "We have more toys and clothes than you. You have to give it to us!" + +The boy did not want to give his jacket. He zipped it up and ran away. Tom and Mia chased him. They were angry and mean. + +A lady saw them and came to help. She was the boy's mom. She hugged the boy and said, "Are you okay, Ben? What happened?" + +"Those kids tried to take my jacket," Ben said. "They said they were wealthy and I had to give it to them." + +"That's not nice," the lady said. "You don't have to give your jacket to anyone. It's yours. And being wealthy doesn't make you better than others. It's how you treat people that matters." + +She looked at Tom and Mia and said, "You should be ashamed of yourselves. You should apologize to Ben and learn to share and be kind." + +Tom and Mia felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They said sorry to Ben and asked if they could play with him. Ben said yes. They became friends and played in the park. They learned to share and be kind. They also learned that zippers are fun to zip and unzip. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They wear warm hats and coats and boots. They make a big snowman with a carrot nose and a scarf. + +"Look at our snowman!" Tom says. "He is very big and nice." + +"Yes, he is!" Mia says. "But he looks cold. Let's give him a hug." + +They run to the snowman and hug him. But the snowman is very cold and wet. They feel cold too. + +"Brrr!" Tom says. "The snowman is too cold. Let's go inside and have some hot cocoa." + +"OK!" Mia says. "But first, let's say goodbye to the snowman." + +They step back from the snowman and wave to him. + +"Bye, snowman!" Tom says. "You are a fair friend. We will come back and play with you tomorrow." + +"Bye, snowman!" Mia says. "You are a fair friend. We hope you stay warm and happy." + +They hold hands and walk to the house. They are happy and warm inside. They drink hot cocoa and eat cookies. They talk about their snowman and their fun day. They are fair friends too. +Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat her pasta with cheese. She looked for a fork in the kitchen, but she could not find one. All the forks were dirty in the sink. Mom was busy on the phone. She did not hear Lily. + +Lily saw a big spoon on the table. She thought maybe she could use it to eat her pasta. She reached for the spoon, but it was too high for her. She tried to climb on the chair, but she slipped and fell. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +Mom heard Lily cry and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor with a red knee. She put down the phone and hugged Lily. She said, "Oh, Lily, what happened? Are you okay?" + +Lily sobbed and said, "I want pasta. I need fork. No fork. Spoon too high. I fall. Ouch." + +Mom kissed Lily's knee and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was busy on the phone. I didn't know you were hungry. Let me get you a fork and a plate. You can eat your pasta with cheese. It's yummy." + +Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. Please, can I have some water too?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. I love you too. You are a good girl. Here is your fork and your water. Enjoy your pasta." + +Lily took the fork and the water and went to the couch. She ate her pasta with cheese and felt better. She said, "Mmm, pasta good. Mom good. Fork good. Spoon bad." + +Mom laughed and said, "Spoon is not bad, Lily. Spoon is for soup. Fork is for pasta. Next time, ask me for a fork, okay?" + +Lily said, "Okay, Mom. I will ask you. I'm sorry I made a mess." + +Mom said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad. I'm glad you are happy. Now, finish your pasta and we can read a story together." + +Lily said, "Yay, story! I love story. Can we read the one with the bear and the honey?" + +Mom said, "Sure, Lily. We can read that one. It's your favorite. Come on, let's go to your room." + +Lily and Mom went to Lily's room. They read the story with the bear and the honey. Lily laughed and clapped. She hugged Mom and said, "You are the best, Mom. I love you so much." + +Mom said, "You are the best, Lily. I love you so much too." + +They kissed and cuddled. They fell asleep together. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben liked to play with sand. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They went to the park with Mom and Dad. There was a lot of sand in the park. Lily and Ben wanted to make a castle. + +They filled the bucket with sand and turned it over. They made a big tower. They used the shovel to make windows and doors. They found some shells and stones to decorate the castle. They were very happy with their castle. + +"Look at our castle, Mom and Dad!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and strong!" + +"Yes, it is, sweetie," Mom said. "You did a great job." + +"Can we play with it?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, you can," Dad said. "But be careful not to break it." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were playful and curious. They wanted to see what was inside the castle. They used the shovel to dig a hole in the tower. They found more sand and some worms. + +"Wow, look at these!" Ben said. "They are so wiggly and funny!" + +"Let me see!" Lily said. She reached for the shovel. But Ben did not want to share. He pulled the shovel away from Lily. Lily pulled it back. They both pulled hard. The shovel split in two. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said. They looked at the broken shovel. They felt sad and sorry. They looked at the castle. The hole was bigger and bigger. The tower fell down. The castle was ruined. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said. They looked at the broken castle. They felt sad and sorry. They looked at Mom and Dad. They saw their faces. They were not angry. They were smiling. + +"It's okay, kids," Mom said. "You can make another castle. Or you can play with something else. The park has many things to play with." + +"Yes, and you can share them," Dad said. "Sharing is more fun than fighting. And it makes things last longer." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They hugged Mom and Dad. They said sorry for breaking the shovel and the castle. They said thank you for being nice. They went to play with something else. They shared and had fun. They learned a lesson. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy boats in the bathtub. They pretended they were sailors and went on adventures. They made waves with their hands and splashed water. + +One day, Ben had a new idea. He said to Lily, "Let's sail to the faucet. Maybe there is a treasure there." Lily nodded and followed him. They pushed their boats towards the shiny metal thing. + +But when they got close, they heard a loud noise. The faucet turned on and water gushed out. Ben and Lily were scared. They tried to turn back, but the water was too strong. Their boats flipped over and sank. + +"Help, help!" they cried. "We are going to drown!" + +Mom heard their screams and ran to the bathroom. She saw the mess and quickly turned off the faucet. She lifted Ben and Lily out of the tub and wrapped them in towels. + +"Are you okay, my darlings?" she asked. "What were you doing?" + +"We were sailing to the faucet, Mom," Ben said. "But it was a trap. It tried to eat us." + +Mom hugged them and kissed their heads. "Oh, you silly sailors. The faucet is not a treasure. It is just for water. And it is not a trap. It is just a switch. You have to be careful with it. It can be dangerous." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily said. "We won't do it again." + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you are safe. Next time, let's sail to the sink. It is more fun and less wet." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, please?" Tom asks his mom. + +"OK, but be careful. The slide is wet. You might slip," his mom says. + +Tom and Sam run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun. They laugh and shout. + +Then, they see a man. The man has a big hat and a long coat. He has a bag with him. He walks to the slide. He puts his bag on the ground. He climbs the ladder. + +"What is he doing?" Sam asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe he likes the slide too," Tom says. + +The man reaches the top of the slide. He sits down. He smiles. He pushes himself down. + +But the slide is too wet. The man slips. He slides very fast. He can't stop. He screams. + +Tom and Sam watch. They are scared. They hope the man is OK. + +The man reaches the end of the slide. He flies off. He lands on his bag. His hat and coat fall off. + +Tom and Sam see what is in his bag. It is amazing. It is full of toys. There are cars, dolls, balls, books, and more. + +The man gets up. He is not hurt. He is angry. He sees his bag is open. He sees his toys are out. He sees Tom and Sam are looking. + +"Hey, those are mine! Give them back!" he yells. + +He runs to his bag. He tries to grab his toys. But Tom and Sam are faster. They pick up some toys. They run to their mom. + +"Mom, look what we found! This man has toys! Can we have some?" they ask. + +Their mom looks at the man. She sees his hat and coat. She sees his bag. She knows who he is. He is a bad man. He is a thief. He stole the toys from a store. + +She calls the police. She tells them what happened. She gives them the toys. She tells Tom and Sam they did a good thing. + +The police come. They catch the thief. They take him away. They thank Tom and Sam and their mom. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They are proud. They are brave. They hug their mom. + +They don't need the toys. They have each other. They have fun. They are friends. +Jill and Ben were jolly twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big red ball, a yellow kite and a blue bike. They ran, jumped and laughed all day long. + +One day, they saw a new animal in the park. It was big and brown, with long ears and a fluffy tail. It was a wild rabbit. Jill and Ben wanted to be friends with it. They ran after it, calling, "Hello, rabbit! Come and play with us!" + +But the rabbit was scared of the twins. It ran away, hiding behind a bush. Jill and Ben followed it, but they could not catch it. They tried to give it some carrots, but it did not come out. They tried to sing to it, but it did not listen. They tried to be quiet, but it did not trust them. + +The twins were sad. They wanted the rabbit to like them. They sat on the grass, looking at the bush. They waited and waited, but the rabbit did not show up. + +"Maybe the rabbit is sleepy," Jill said. "Maybe it needs a nap." + +"Maybe we should sleep too," Ben said. "We are tired from playing." + +They lay down on the grass, next to each other. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of the rabbit and the park. + +The rabbit peeked out from the bush. It saw the twins sleeping. It was curious. It hopped out and sniffed them. They smelled nice. They looked nice. They were not scary. They were jolly. + +The rabbit decided to be brave. It nudged Jill's hand with its nose. Jill opened her eyes and smiled. She petted the rabbit gently. The rabbit liked it. It licked Jill's face. Jill giggled. + +Ben woke up and saw the rabbit. He was happy. He reached out and stroked the rabbit softly. The rabbit wagged its tail. It nuzzled Ben's cheek. Ben laughed. + +The twins and the rabbit became friends. They played and cuddled and shared carrots. They were jolly and wild and sleepy. They had a lot of fun. +Lily liked to splash in the pool. She had a big pool in her backyard. She had a yellow duck and a blue ball to play with. She was happy. + +But her neighbor Tom was lazy. He did not like to splash. He liked to sit on a chair and read a book. He had a small pool in his backyard. He had no toys to play with. He was bored. + +One day, Lily saw Tom sitting on his chair. She wanted to make him happy. She said, "Tom, come and splash with me! It is fun!" + +Tom looked at Lily. He said, "No, thank you. I like to read. Splashing is too noisy and wet." + +Lily was sad. She said, "But splashing is fun! You can play with my duck and my ball. Please, Tom, come and splash with me!" + +Tom shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I like to read. Splashing is not fun for me." + +Lily was angry. She said, "Fine, then. I will splash you!" She picked up her ball and threw it at Tom. The ball hit Tom and made a big splash. Tom got wet and dropped his book. + +Tom was surprised. He said, "Hey, stop that! You splashed me!" + +Lily laughed. She said, "See, splashing is fun! Come and splash with me, Tom!" + +Tom looked at his wet book. He looked at Lily's smile. He thought for a moment. He said, "Okay, okay. I will splash with you. But only for a little while." + +Lily was happy. She said, "Yay, Tom! Come and splash with me!" She gave him her duck and they splashed together. They had fun. +Lily likes to chew. She chews her food, her toys, her clothes, and sometimes her hair. She thinks chewing is fun and makes her teeth strong. But chewing can also get her in trouble. + +One day, Lily found a teaspoon in the kitchen. She thought it was shiny and pretty. She wanted to chew it. She put it in her mouth and bit hard. But the teaspoon was not soft like food or toys. It was hard and metal. It hurt Lily's teeth and tongue. She cried out loud. + +Mom heard Lily cry and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily with the teaspoon in her mouth. She was worried and angry. She took the teaspoon out and checked Lily's mouth. She said, "Lily, why did you chew the teaspoon? You could have broken your teeth or cut your tongue. Teaspoons are not for chewing. They are for measuring and stirring. You are lucky you are not hurt. Don't ever chew teaspoons again." + +Lily felt sorry and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to chew something shiny. I won't chew teaspoons again. Can I chew something else?" + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I know you like to chew, but you have to be careful. You can chew your food, your toys, or your gum. But don't chew anything that is hard, sharp, or dirty. And don't chew too much or too fast. You might choke or get a tummy ache. Chewing is good, but only in moderation." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I understand. I will chew only good things and not too much. Can I have a cookie?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can have a cookie. But use a teaspoon to scoop some milk first. And don't chew the teaspoon." +Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big puddle on the grass. They ran to the puddle and jumped in it. They splashed and laughed and had fun. + +But then, a tall boy came to the puddle. He was mean and rude. He said, "This is my puddle. Go away, you little kids." He pushed Tom and Mia out of the puddle. He made them fall on the ground. He laughed at them. + +Tom and Mia were sad and angry. They wanted to play in the puddle. They did not like the tall boy. They said, "You are not nice. You are a bully. We don't like you." They tried to get up and go back to the puddle. + +But the tall boy was stronger and faster. He kicked the puddle and made a big wave. The water hit Tom and Mia and made them wet and cold. They cried and cried. They were very unhappy. + +But then, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the big dog. Rex was Tom's pet. He loved Tom and Mia. He saw the tall boy being mean to them. He did not like that. He ran to the tall boy and growled. He showed his teeth and his claws. He scared the tall boy. + +The tall boy was afraid of Rex. He said, "Sorry, sorry, please don't hurt me." He ran away from the puddle. He did not laugh anymore. + +Tom and Mia smiled and hugged Rex. They said, "Thank you, Rex. You are a good dog. You are our hero." They played with Rex in the puddle. They splashed and laughed and had fun. They were happy again. +Lily was sick. She had a fever and a cough. She did not want to play or eat. Mommy gave her some medicine to make her feel better. But Lily did not like the medicine. It was bitter and yucky. + +"Please, Lily, drink the medicine. It will help you get well," Mommy said. + +"No, Mommy, no! I don't want it!" Lily cried. + +Mommy looked sad. She wanted Lily to be healthy and happy. She hugged Lily and said, "I know you don't like it, but it is good for you. I love you, Lily, and I want to support you. Can you be brave and honest and try the medicine for me?" + +Lily looked at Mommy. She saw that Mommy was kind and caring. She did not want to make Mommy sad. She wanted to be brave and honest, like Mommy said. She nodded and said, "Okay, Mommy, I will try it." + +Mommy smiled and gave Lily a spoon of medicine. Lily made a face and swallowed it. It was still bitter and yucky, but she did not spit it out. She said, "I did it, Mommy! I drank the medicine!" + +Mommy clapped and said, "Good job, Lily! You are so brave and honest! I am proud of you!" She kissed Lily and said, "Now, let's cuddle and read a story. Maybe you will feel better soon." + +Lily smiled and cuddled with Mommy. She felt warm and loved. She said, "Thank you, Mommy, for supporting me. I love you, too." +Tom and Anna were playing in the garden. They had a big jug of water and some cups. They pretended to have a tea party with their toys. + +"Would you like some tea, Mr. Bear?" Anna asked, pouring water into a cup. + +"Yes, please, Anna. You are very kind," Tom said, making his bear talk. + +They smiled and drank their water. They liked to play together. + +But then, a big, ugly dog came into the garden. It had black fur and sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran towards them. + +Tom and Anna were scared. They dropped their cups and jug. The water spilled on the ground. + +"Go away, dog! Leave us alone!" Tom shouted, holding his bear. + +The dog did not listen. It jumped on their toys and tore them apart. It bit the bear's ear and the doll's dress. + +Tom and Anna cried. They ran to the house and called for their mom. + +Mom came out and saw the dog. She was angry. She picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. + +"Shoo, shoo, bad dog! Get out of here!" she yelled. + +The dog was afraid of mom. It whimpered and ran away. + +Mom hugged Tom and Anna. She checked their toys. Some were broken, some were not. + +"I'm sorry, my loves. That was a mean dog. It should not have come here," she said. + +"It's okay, mom. We still have some toys. And we have you," Anna said. + +Tom nodded. He smiled and gave his bear a kiss. + +Mom smiled too. She took them inside and gave them some cookies. + +They forgot about the ugly dog. They were happy again. +Sara likes to stare at the view from her window. She sees many things: trees, birds, cars, people. She likes to make up stories about them in her head. Sometimes she pretends she is a bird and flies with them. Sometimes she pretends she is a car and zooms with them. Sometimes she pretends she is a person and talks with them. + +One day, Sara sees something new in the view. It is a big, shiny, round thing. It is very bright and colorful. It looks like a ball, but bigger. Sara wonders what it is. She stares at it for a long time. She wants to touch it and play with it. She thinks it must be fun. + +She asks her mom what it is. Her mom looks at the view and smiles. She says it is a balloon. She says someone is having a party and they put up the balloon to decorate. She says the balloon is filled with air and it floats in the sky. She says the balloon is not real, it is fake. + +Sara feels sad. She does not like fake things. She likes real things. She likes trees, birds, cars, people. She does not like the balloon. She thinks it is boring and silly. She stops staring at it. She looks for something else in the view. She sees a cat. She likes cats. She pretends she is a cat and meows with it. She feels happy again. +Ben and his dad went to the farm to see the animals. Ben liked the cows, the pigs, and the chickens, but his favorite was the mule. The mule had big ears, a long nose, and a funny voice. Ben wanted to pet the mule and feed him some carrots. + +"Can I go to the mule, dad?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, son, but be careful. The mule can be stubborn and kick sometimes," dad said. + +Ben ran to the mule and held out a carrot. The mule sniffed the carrot and took a bite. Ben smiled and stroked the mule's fur. He felt happy and brave. + +"Hello, mule. You are my friend. Do you like carrots?" Ben said. + +The mule nodded and made a loud sound. He sounded like he was laughing. Ben laughed too. He gave the mule another carrot and hugged his neck. + +Suddenly, the mule sneezed. He sneezed so hard that he blew the carrot out of his mouth and onto Ben's face. Ben felt something wet and sticky on his cheek. He looked at the carrot and saw that it was covered with mule snot. + +"Yuck!" Ben cried. He dropped the carrot and wiped his face with his sleeve. He felt embarrassed and gross. + +The mule looked at Ben and made another loud sound. He sounded like he was teasing. Ben felt angry and sad. + +"Stop it, mule. That's not nice. You are not my friend. You are mean," Ben said. + +He ran away from the mule and back to his dad. He hugged his dad and told him what happened. + +"I'm sorry, son. The mule didn't mean to hurt you. He was just playing. He likes you," dad said. + +"Really?" Ben asked. + +"Really. He's just a silly mule. He doesn't know how to behave. He needs to learn some manners," dad said. + +"Can we leave now, dad? I don't want to see the mule anymore," Ben said. + +"Okay, son. Let's go home. We can come back another day and see the other animals. Maybe the mule will be nicer then," dad said. + +Ben nodded and held his dad's hand. They walked to the car and left the farm. Ben hoped the mule would say sorry next time. He still liked the mule, but he didn't like his snot. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a weird toy in the park. It is a big box with buttons and a screen. Lily and Tom are curious. They press the buttons and see what happens. + +"Look, Tom, the screen has words!" Lily says. "What do they say?" + +Tom tries to read the words. He knows some letters, but not all. He says, "It says...message...from...space. What is space?" + +Lily shrugs. She does not know what space is. She thinks it is a place far away. She says, "Maybe it is where the stars are. Do you think someone from the stars sent us a message?" + +Tom nods. He thinks that is cool. He says, "Maybe they want to be our friends. Maybe they have toys and books too." + +Lily and Tom smile. They press another button. The screen changes. It shows a picture of a green face with big eyes and a funny mouth. The face says, "Hello, earth kids. We are from space. We want to play with you. Can you clap your hands?" + +Lily and Tom are surprised. They see the face and hear the voice. They think it is a joke. They look around, but they do not see anyone. They wonder who is hiding and making the voice. + +They decide to play along. They clap their hands. The face on the screen claps too. It says, "Good, good. You are smart and fun. We like you. Do you want to see more of us?" + +Lily and Tom are curious. They want to see more of the space friends. They nod and say, "Yes, yes. Show us more." + +The face on the screen smiles. It says, "OK, OK. We will show you more. But first, you have to do something for us. You have to give us your toys and books. We need them for our space mission. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Tom are confused. They do not understand why the space friends need their toys and books. They like their toys and books. They do not want to give them away. They shake their heads and say, "No, no. We cannot do that. We need our toys and books too. They are ours." + +The face on the screen frowns. It says, "No, no. You have to do that. We are your space friends. You have to listen to us. We will not show you more if you do not give us your toys and books. We will be angry. We will go away. Do you want that?" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They do not want the space friends to be angry. They do not want them to go away. They do not know what to do. They look at each other. They do not like this game anymore. They think it is weird and mean. They want to stop. + +They say, "No, no. We do not want that. But we do not want to give you our toys and books either. We do not think you are our space friends. We think you are bad. We do not want to play with you. We want to go home." + +They turn off the box. They grab their toys and books. They run away from the park. They do not look back. They do not see the face on the screen change. It is not a green face anymore. It is a red face. It is angry. It says, "Bad, bad. You are not smart and fun. You are silly and rude. We do not like you. We will find other earth kids to play with. We will get their toys and books. We will not stop. We are from space. We are clever and strong. You will see." +Anna likes to go to the library with her mom. She likes to look at the books with many pictures and colors. She likes to listen to the stories that the librarian tells. She likes to sit on the big rug with the other kids. + +One day, Anna and her mom go to the library. Anna sees a book about animals. She wants to read it. She asks her mom to help her. Her mom says, "Okay, but we have to finish soon. We have to go home and make dinner." + +Anna and her mom sit on a chair and read the book. Anna learns about lions, elephants, monkeys, and more. She likes the sounds they make. She tries to make them too. She roars like a lion, trumpets like an elephant, and chatters like a monkey. + +The librarian hears Anna and smiles. She says, "You are very good at making animal sounds, Anna. Do you want to join me for the story time? I have a story about a zoo." + +Anna says, "Yes, please. I love zoos. Can I bring my book?" + +The librarian says, "Of course. Come on, let's go to the rug." + +Anna and her mom follow the librarian to the rug. Anna sits with the other kids. She holds her book. The librarian starts to tell the story. She shows the pictures. She makes the sounds. Anna listens and watches. She feels happy. + +But then, she feels something else. She feels dizzy. She feels her head spin. She feels her tummy hurt. She feels sick. She does not like it. + +She says, "Mom, I don't feel good. I want to go home." + +Her mom hears her and sees her face. She says, "Oh, no. You look pale. You have a fever. Let's go home, honey. We can come back to the library another day." + +Anna nods. She does not want to stay. She wants to go home. She wants to lie down. She wants to feel better. + +Her mom picks her up and hugs her. She says, "I'm sorry, Anna. You are sick. You need to rest. We will finish the book later. I love you." + +Anna says, "I love you too, Mom. Thank you for taking me to the library. It was fun. But I want to go home now." + +Her mom says, "Okay, let's go. Bye, librarian. Thank you for the story." + +The librarian says, "Bye, Anna. Bye, Mom. I hope you feel better soon, Anna. Come back when you are well. I have more stories for you." + +Anna and her mom leave the library. They go home. They finish the book. Anna feels better. She sleeps. She dreams of animals. She smiles. +Tim and Mia liked to play near the sea. They saw many boats and birds and shells. One day, they found a big metal thing on the sand. It had a pointy end and a round end with holes. + +"What is this?" Tim asked. + +"I think it is an anchor," Mia said. "It is for holding boats in one place." + +"Wow, it is enormous!" Tim said. "How did it get here?" + +"Maybe a big storm brought it," Mia said. "Or maybe a giant whale dropped it." + +They tried to lift the anchor, but it was too heavy. They decided to play around it instead. They pretended it was a castle, a rocket, and a dragon. They had a lot of fun. + +Then they heard a loud whistle. It was their mom, calling them for lunch. They ran to her, waving goodbye to the anchor. + +"Mom, look what we found!" Tim said. + +"An anchor? That's amazing!" Mom said. "Where did it come from?" + +"We don't know," Mia said. "But we had a great time with it!" + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She was happy they were curious and creative. She gave them sandwiches and juice, and they told her all about their adventure. +Lila was a good daughter. She liked to help her mom and dad with the house and the farm. She also liked to play with her doll, Anna. Anna had a pretty dress and long hair. Lila loved Anna very much. + +One day, a bad man came to the farm. He saw Lila playing with Anna. He wanted Anna for himself. He was ugly and mean. He had a big nose and a dirty beard. He sneaked behind Lila and grabbed Anna from her arms. + +"Hey, give me back my doll!" Lila cried. She ran after the bad man. She was brave and strong. + +The bad man laughed. He said, "No, this is my doll now. You can't have her. She is too pretty for you. You are ugly and small." + +Lila was very sad and angry. She said, "No, you are ugly and mean. You can't steal my doll. She is mine. I love her. You are a bad man." + +The bad man ran away with Anna. He thought he was smart and fast. But he did not see the big dog that was guarding the farm. The dog saw the bad man and heard Lila's cry. The dog barked and chased the bad man. He bit his leg and made him fall. + +Lila caught up with the bad man and the dog. She took Anna back from his hand. She hugged Anna and thanked the dog. She said, "You are a good dog. You helped me get my doll back. You are my friend." + +The bad man was scared and hurt. He said, "Please, don't hurt me. I'm sorry. I won't steal again." + +Lila said, "You should be sorry. You should not steal. Stealing is bad. You should be nice and share. You should go away and never come back." + +The bad man nodded and limped away. He learned his lesson. He never stole again. + +Lila went back to the house with Anna and the dog. She told her mom and dad what happened. They were proud of her. They said, "You are a good daughter. You are brave and strong. You are pretty and smart. We love you very much." + +Lila smiled and said, "I love you too. And I love Anna. And I love the dog. We are a happy family." +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. Ben wanted to try it, but Lily was scared. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go on the slide. It will be brilliant!" Ben said. + +"But it looks too high and too fast. And what if it is hot from the sun?" Lily said. + +"Don't worry, Lily. I will go first and show you. It is not hot, it is cool. And it is not scary, it is exciting. Trust me, I recommend it!" Ben said. + +He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He waved to Lily and slid down with a whoosh. He landed on the grass and laughed. + +"See, Lily, that was so much fun! Do you want to try it now?" Ben said. + +Lily watched Ben and saw that he was happy and safe. She felt a little brave and curious. She decided to give it a try. + +"Okay, Ben, I will try it. But you have to wait for me at the bottom and catch me if I fall." Lily said. + +"Of course, Lily, I will be right here. You can do it!" Ben said. + +Lily walked to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and felt a little nervous. But she also saw Ben smiling and cheering for her. She took a deep breath and slid down with a whoosh. She landed on the grass and laughed. + +"Wow, Lily, you did it! That was brilliant!" Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben, you were right. That was brilliant! And it was not hot, it was cool. And it was not scary, it was exciting. I'm glad you recommended it!" Lily said. + +They hugged and high-fived. Then they ran to the slide again and again. They had a lot of fun and felt very proud. They were best friends. +Lily wanted to wear her new dress to the park. It was pink and had flowers on it. She loved her dress very much. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled and twirled around. + +"Mommy, can I go to the park now?" she asked. + +"Yes, but be careful, Lily. Your dress is very clean and pretty. Don't get it dirty or wet, okay?" Mommy said. + +"Okay, Mommy. I will be careful. Bye!" Lily said and ran outside. + +At the park, Lily saw her friend Ben. He was playing with a water gun. He saw Lily and waved at her. + +"Hi, Lily! Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +"Hi, Ben! Sure, I want to play with you. But don't spray me with your water gun, okay? I have a new dress and I don't want to get it wet," Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily. I won't spray you. I promise," Ben said. + +But Ben did not keep his promise. He thought it would be funny to spray Lily with his water gun. He aimed at her and pulled the trigger. Water came out of the gun and hit Lily's dress. Lily screamed and cried. Her dress was wet and dirty. She was very sad and angry. + +"Ben, why did you do that? You broke your promise! You ruined my dress! I hate you!" she yelled. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was just joking. I didn't mean to make you cry. Please don't hate me," Ben said. + +But Lily did not listen to him. She ran away from him and went back home. She told Mommy what happened. Mommy was not happy. She scolded Ben and told him to go away. She hugged Lily and tried to comfort her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Your dress is ruined. Maybe we can wash it and make it clean again. But you have to learn a lesson, too. You have to be careful with your things. You can't wear your new dress to the park. You have to wear something else that you don't mind getting dirty or wet. Do you understand?" Mommy said. + +Lily nodded. She understood. She wished she had listened to Mommy. She wished she had been more careful. She wished Ben had not sprayed her. She learned her lesson the hard way. + +The end. +Tom likes to read books. He reads books about cars, animals, and space. He reads books in his room, in the garden, and in the car. He reads books every day. + +One day, Tom finds a new book in his room. It is a big book with a shiny cover. He opens the book and sees many pictures and words. He wants to read the book, but he does not know the words. He asks his mom for help. + +"Mom, can you read this book to me?" he says. + +"Sure, Tom. What book is it?" his mom says. + +She looks at the book and smiles. "This is not a book, Tom. This is a soap box. It has soap inside. You use soap to wash your hands and body." + +Tom is confused. He looks at the soap box again. He sees that it is flexible. He can bend it and squeeze it. He feels the soap inside. It is soft and slippery. + +"This is not a book. This is a toy!" he says. + +He runs to the bathroom and fills the sink with water. He puts the soap box in the water and plays with it. He makes bubbles and shapes with the soap. He has fun with the soap box. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" his mom says. + +"I am reading the soap box!" he says. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big brown rope hanging from a tree. Sara wants to use the rope to swing like a monkey. Tom wants to use the rope to make a trap for bugs. + +"Let me use the rope first!" Sara says. + +"No, I want to use the rope first!" Tom says. + +They both pull the rope hard. The rope breaks and falls to the ground. Sara and Tom are sad and angry. + +"Look what you did!" Sara says. + +"It's your fault!" Tom says. + +They start to cry and yell at each other. + +A nice lady sees them and comes over. She has a big smile and a basket of cookies. + +"Hello, children. Why are you crying?" she asks. + +"We broke the rope and we can't play with it anymore!" Sara says. + +"We wanted to use the rope for different things and we fought over it!" Tom says. + +The nice lady nods and says, "I see. That's not very nice of you. You should share and take turns. The rope is not yours, it belongs to the park. You should be careful and respectful of the things you find here. Maybe you can find another way to play together." + +She gives them each a cookie and says, "Here, have a cookie. It will make you feel better. And maybe you can say sorry to each other and be friends again." + +Sara and Tom look at each other and feel sorry. They say sorry and hug each other. They thank the nice lady and eat their cookies. They decide to play with the leaves and the sticks instead of the rope. They have fun and laugh together. They learn to share and take turns. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. Every Sunday, their mom took them there after lunch. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. + +One Sunday, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big red ball with a rope. It looked like a balloon, but it did not fly. It was tied to a pole. Lily and Ben wanted to play with it. + +"Can we try it, mom?" they asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. It is not a toy. It is for exercise. You have to pull the rope and the ball will bounce back. Do not hit your face or your brother or sister," mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They took turns to pull the rope and watch the ball bounce. It was fun, but hard. The ball was heavy and fast. Sometimes they missed it and it hit the ground. Sometimes they caught it and it pushed them back. + +Ben was clumsy. He did not pull the rope well. He pulled it too hard or too soft. He did not catch the ball well. He caught it with his hands or his chest. He did not dodge the ball well. He dodged too late or too early. + +"Ouch!" he said. The ball hit his nose. It hurt. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked. She was worried. + +"I am okay, Lily. It is just a little bump. Do not worry," Ben said. He was brave. + +Lily was good. She pulled the rope well. She pulled it just right. She caught the ball well. She caught it with her arms. She dodged the ball well. She dodged just in time. + +"Wow, Lily, you are good. You are strong and fast. You are better than me," Ben said. He was proud. + +"Thank you, Ben. But you are good too. You are funny and kind. You are my best friend," Lily said. She was happy. + +They hugged each other. They smiled. They played some more. + +Mom watched them. She was glad. She loved them. She urged them to have fun. + +"Come on, kids, play some more. It is still Sunday. We have time. Enjoy the park. Enjoy the ball. Enjoy each other," mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They did. They had a lot of fun. They had a good Sunday. +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. Lily and Ben liked the fountain. They wanted to play in the water. + +Mom said, "No, you cannot play in the fountain. The water is not clean. It has dirt and germs. You will get sick." + +Lily and Ben were sad. They complained to Mom. They said, "But we want to play in the fountain. It looks fun. It is hot today. We are thirsty." + +Mom said, "I have a better idea. Let's go to the ice cream truck. You can have a cold treat. Then we can find a clean fountain to drink from. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben smiled. They liked ice cream. They said, "OK, Mom. That sounds good. Thank you." + +They went to the ice cream truck and got their favorite flavors. Then they found a clean fountain to drink from. They were happy and refreshed. They thanked Mom for the ice cream and the water. They had a good day at the park. +Sara liked to play with lizards. She found them in the garden and put them in a box. She gave them water and grass and rocks. She thought they were her friends. + +One day, she saw a big lizard on the fence. It was green and shiny and had a long tail. Sara wanted to catch it and put it in her box. She ran to the fence and reached for the lizard. + +"Be careful, Sara!" her mom shouted. "That is not a lizard, that is a crocodile! It can bite you!" + +But Sara did not listen. She grabbed the crocodile by the tail and tried to remove it from the fence. The crocodile was angry and turned around. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth. It bit Sara's hand and made her scream. + +Sara dropped the crocodile and ran to her mom. Her mom hugged her and took her to the car. They drove to the hospital. Sara's hand was bleeding and hurting. She cried and wished she had listened to her mom. She learned that not all lizards are friendly and that some can be very dangerous. +Sara and Ben love to play outside in the sunshine. They run and jump and laugh and have fun. Sometimes they spin around and around until they feel dizzy. Then they fall down on the grass and look at the sky. + +One day, Sara and Ben see a big cloud in the sky. It is gray and dark and scary. It covers the sunshine and makes everything cold and sad. Sara and Ben do not like the cloud. They want the sunshine back. + +They have an idea. They decide to send a letter to the sunshine. They find some paper and crayons and write: "Dear sunshine, we miss you. Please come back soon. Love, Sara and Ben." They draw a picture of themselves smiling and holding hands. They fold the paper and put it in an envelope. + +They look for a way to send the letter. They see a bird on a tree. They ask the bird: "Can you please take this letter to the sunshine?" The bird nods and takes the envelope in its beak. It flies away, high and fast. + +Sara and Ben watch the bird until it disappears in the sky. They hope the sunshine will get their letter and come back. They wait and wait and wait. Then, they see something. The cloud starts to move. A bright ray of sunshine peeks through. Sara and Ben smile and clap. The sunshine got their letter! It came back to play with them. They run and jump and laugh and have fun again. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the sea, like fish and crabs and shells. + +One day, they saw something very big and gray in the water. It was a whale! The whale came close to the shore and made a loud noise. Ben and Mia were scared and ran to their mom and dad. + +"Mom, dad, look! A whale!" Ben shouted. + +"Don't worry, it's a friendly whale. It just wants to say hello," mom said. + +"Hello, whale!" Mia said. She waved her hand at the whale. + +The whale waved its tail back at Mia. It made another loud noise and sprayed water from its nose. Ben and Mia laughed. They thought the whale was silly and fun. + +They watched the whale for a long time, until it swam away. They said goodbye to the whale and thanked it for the show. + +"Can we see the whale again, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe, if we come back to the beach another day. But you can always remember the whale in your mind and in your heart," mom said. + +Ben and Mia nodded. They remembered the whale and how silly and fun it was. They smiled and hugged their mom and dad. They had a great day at the beach. +Mia and Leo were having spaghetti for dinner. They liked spaghetti a lot. It was long and red and yummy. They used their forks to twirl the spaghetti and put it in their mouths. + +"Look, Mia, I can make a funny face with spaghetti!" Leo said. He stuck some spaghetti on his nose and ears and smiled. Mia laughed and tried to do the same. + +"Leo, Mia, stop playing with your food!" Mom said. She came to the table with a napkin. "You are making a mess. You need to wipe your faces and hands." + +"But Mom, it's fun!" Leo said. "And interesting. We are making art with spaghetti." + +"Spaghetti is not for art, it's for eating." Mom said. "And you need to be clean and polite at the table. Wipe your face and hands, please." + +Mia and Leo sighed. They did not want to stop playing. But they knew Mom was right. They took the napkin and wiped their faces and hands. They said sorry to Mom. + +"Thank you, Mia and Leo. That's very good of you." Mom said. She smiled and gave them a hug. "Now you can finish your spaghetti and have some dessert. How does that sound?" + +Mia and Leo smiled back. They liked dessert a lot, too. They ate their spaghetti and waited for Mom to bring the dessert. They wondered what it would be. Maybe something long and red and yummy, too. +Lily liked to draw and write in her notebook. She had many colors and shapes in her notebook. She showed her notebook to her friends at school. They liked her notebook too. They said Lily was clever and good at drawing and writing. + +One day, Lily had a big test at school. She had to write and draw what she learned. She was nervous and scared. She did not know if she could do well. She looked at her notebook and saw her colors and shapes. She remembered what her friends said. She felt better and more confident. + +She wrote and drew her best on the test. She finished before the time was up. She gave her test to the teacher. The teacher looked at her test and smiled. She said Lily did very well. She said Lily was clever and good at drawing and writing. She gave Lily a gold star. + +Lily was happy and proud. She showed her gold star to her friends. They were happy and proud too. They applauded Lily and gave her hugs. They said Lily was clever and good at drawing and writing. They said Lily was their friend. + +The moral of the story is: Believe in yourself and your talents. Your friends will support you and cheer you on. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a big box in the corner. It has a picture of a cart on it. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see what is inside the box. + +They open the box and see a shiny red cart. It has four wheels and a handle. Sara and Ben are happy. They decide to take the cart outside and fill it with flowers and rocks. They think it will be fun. + +They put on their shoes and jackets and go to the backyard. They find many flowers and rocks. They put them in the cart. The cart is heavy, but they can pull it. They are proud of their cart. + +They see their mom coming out of the house. She has a smile on her face. She says, "What a beautiful cart you have! Where did you get it?" + +Sara and Ben say, "We found it in the box. It is ours. We filled it with flowers and rocks. Do you like it?" + +Mom says, "I do like it, but I have to tell you something. The cart is not yours. It is a gift for your cousin Lily. She is coming to visit tomorrow. The cart is fragile. It can break easily. You have to be careful with it." + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They did not know the cart was for Lily. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We thought it was ours. We like the cart. Can we keep it?" + +Mom says, "I know you like the cart, but it is not fair to keep it. Lily will be very happy to have it. She does not have many toys. You have many toys. You can share the cart with her when she comes. How about that?" + +Sara and Ben think for a moment. They decide to share the cart with Lily. They say, "Okay, mom. We will share the cart with Lily. We will be nice to her. We will be careful with the cart. We will put it back in the box." + +Mom says, "That's very kind of you. I'm proud of you. You are good twins. Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies." + +Sara and Ben smile. They hug their mom. They take the cart inside and put it back in the box. They are looking forward to meeting Lily. They hope she will like the cart. They hope they will have fun together. +Anna and Ben like to play in the tent. The tent is big and blue. They put the tent in the garden. They bring toys and books inside the tent. + +One day, they hear a noise outside the tent. It sounds like a big dog. Anna and Ben are scared. They hug each other and whisper. + +"What is that?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a monster," Ben says. + +They peek out of the tent. They see a big brown dog. The dog is slow and friendly. He wags his tail and sniffs the tent. He wants to play. + +"Hello, dog," Anna says. "Do you want to come in the tent?" + +The dog barks and nods. He crawls into the tent. He licks Anna and Ben. They laugh and pet him. + +"Look, we have a new friend," Ben says. + +They play with the dog in the tent. They share their toys and books. They are happy. Nothing bad happens. +Lily loved to imagine stories in her head. She would pretend to be a princess, a pirate, a fairy, or anything she liked. She would tell her stories to her toys, her mom, and her dad. They all liked to listen to her stories and praise her imagination. + +One day, Lily wanted to tell her story to her teacher, Miss Rose. She raised her hand and asked, "Miss Rose, can I tell you a story?" Miss Rose smiled and said, "Of course, Lily, but you have to wait until after we finish our lesson. Can you be obedient and listen to me first?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Rose, I can be obedient." + +Lily waited patiently while Miss Rose taught them about numbers, letters, and colors. She did not interrupt or talk to her friends. She paid attention and answered the questions. She was very obedient and respectful. Miss Rose was very proud of her and said, "Lily, you are a very good student. Now you can tell us your story. What is it about?" + +Lily stood up and said, "My story is about a mermaid who lives in the sea. She has a lot of friends, like a dolphin, a turtle, and a starfish. She likes to swim and play with them. But she also wants to see the land and the people. She is very curious and brave. She decides to go to the shore and explore. But she has to be careful, because some people are not nice to mermaids. They want to catch them and put them in cages. She has to be smart and fast to avoid them. Do you want to hear more?" + +The other children and Miss Rose nodded and said, "Yes, Lily, we want to hear more. Your story is very interesting and creative. We like your imagination."

She put on her pink hat, her blue coat and her yellow boots. She ran to the door and waited for her mom. + +"Mom, mom, hurry up! Let's go to the park!" she shouted. + +"Okay, okay, Lily, calm down. We have to eat breakfast first. And don't forget your backpack. You need to bring some snacks and water," her mom said. + +Lily did not want to eat breakfast. She did not want to bring her backpack. She just wanted to go to the park. She was impatient and angry. She threw her spoon on the floor and kicked her backpack. + +"Mom, I don't want to eat! I don't want to bring my backpack! I want to go to the park now!" she screamed. + +"Lily, stop that! You are being very rude and naughty. You have to eat something and you have to carry your backpack. It's not that heavy. If you don't behave, we won't go to the park at all," her mom warned. + +Lily did not listen to her mom. She kept crying and throwing things. She made a big mess in the kitchen. Her mom was very upset and disappointed. She decided to cancel the trip to the park. + +"Lily, that's it. We are not going to the park today. You have to stay in your room and think about what you did. Maybe you will learn to be more polite and grateful next time," her mom said. + +She took Lily to her room and closed the door. Lily was very sad and angry. She regretted being so mean and stubborn. She wished she had listened to her mom and eaten her breakfast and brought her backpack. She missed the park and the fun. She lay on her bed and cried. She did not have a good day. She did not have a good wake. She had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. Lily had a big red boot that she brought from home. She liked to fill it with sand and make shapes. + +"Can I play with your boot, Lily?" Ben asked.

He reached in and pulled it out. He gave it to Lily. + +"Thank you, Ben!" Lily said. She was happy and sorry. She realized she was naughty. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I should have shared my boot with you. Do you want to play with it now?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, please. And I have a blue hat we can share too. Let's be friends!" Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged. They shared the boot and the hat and played together. They had fun and learned to share. +Tom and Mia liked to play pirate in the garden.

They grabbed the hose and aimed at the cat. + +But the cat was not afraid. He jumped off the fence and ran towards them. He hissed and spat and showed his sharp teeth. Tom and Mia were scared. They dropped the hose and ran back to their box. The cat followed them and jumped on the box. He scratched and bit the box and made a big hole. + +Tom and Mia crawled out of the hole and ran into the house. They slammed the door and locked it. They were safe. They looked out of the window and saw the cat sitting on the box. He looked very angry. He had water on his fur and his eyes were green. + +Tom and Mia learned a lesson. They decided not to spray the cat again. They said, "Sorry, cat, we won't bother you anymore. You are a very brave pirate. We are sorry we made you wet." The cat heard them and meowed. He seemed to forgive them. He jumped off the box and walked away. Tom and Mia smiled and hugged each other. They were happy. They said, "We are still pirates, but we are nice pirates. We don't spray anyone who doesn't want to be sprayed." They went back to their box and played pirate again. But they left the hose alone. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big green hill. They want to go up the hill. + +"Let's go, Anna!" Ben says. He runs to the hill. Anna follows him. They climb and climb. They are happy. + +They reach the top of the hill. They see the whole park. They see trees, flowers, birds, and people. They smile. They feel the soft grass under their feet. + +"Wow, Ben, look!" Anna says. She points to a rainbow.

His finger was red and sore. He ran to his mom. She put some ice on his finger. She told him not to touch the bees. They were not toys. They were living things. They needed to be left alone. + +Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt the bee. He wanted to say sorry to the bee. He asked his mom how to do that. She said he could restore the bee's home. He could plant more flowers and water them. He could be gentle and kind to the bees and other bugs. He could watch them from a distance and learn from them. + +Tom liked that idea. He got some seeds and a watering can. He planted some flowers in a sunny spot. He watered them every day. He saw the bees come and go. They liked the flowers. They made more honey. Tom smiled. He was happy. He learned to respect the bees. He learned to restore what he broke. He learned to be gentle and kind. +Anna likes to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. Tom is very good at finding Anna, but Anna is also good at hiding. One day, they play hide and seek in the kitchen. Anna sees a big green avocado on the table. She has an idea. + +She picks up the avocado and runs to the cupboard. She opens the door and goes inside. She puts the avocado on her head and closes the door. She thinks Tom will not find her there. + +Tom counts to ten and then looks for Anna. He looks under the table, behind the sofa, in the closet, but he cannot find her. He wonders where she is. He goes to the kitchen and sees the avocado is gone. He thinks that is strange. + +He hears a giggle from the cupboard. He opens the door and sees Anna with the avocado on her head. He laughs and says, "I found you, Anna! You are very funny. But why did you take the avocado?" + +Anna takes the avocado off her head and says, "I wanted to hide with it. It is green like me. And it is helpful. It makes me healthy and strong." + +Tom smiles and says, "You are right, Anna. Avocado is very helpful. And you are very smart. But now it is my turn to hide. Can you find me?" + +Anna nods and says, "Yes, I can. You better hide well, Tom. I will count to ten. One, two, three..." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds. + +They went to the tree and tried to climb. But the tree was too high and the bark was too rough. They could not reach the branches. They felt sad and sat on the grass. + +"Look, Ben, I have gum!" Lily said. She took out a pink gum from her pocket. She liked to chew gum and make bubbles. "Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said. He took a piece of gum from Lily and put it in his mouth. He chewed and chewed. He tried to make a bubble, but it popped on his face. He laughed and wiped his face. + +"Let's use the gum to help us climb the tree!" Lily said. She had an idea. She took out more gum and gave some to Ben. They chewed and chewed. They made big balls of gum with their mouths. They stuck the gum on the tree trunk. They made steps with the gum. They climbed on the gum steps and reached the branches. They were happy and proud. + +They saw many birds on the tree. They saw a blue bird, a red bird, a yellow bird and a black bird. They sang with the birds and watched them fly. They felt like they were flying too. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was the park keeper. He saw the gum on the tree and was angry. He had a pale face and a big hat. He shouted at Ben and Lily. + +"Hey, you two, get down from there! What have you done to the tree? You have made a mess with your gum! That is not nice! You have to clean it up!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They climbed down from the tree. They said sorry to the park keeper. They tried to take off the gum from the tree, but it was hard and sticky. They needed more help. They asked their friends to help them. They all worked together and cleaned the tree. They learned a lesson. They decided to use their gum for bubbles, not for climbing.

She pets Spot and makes him sit. + +"Can we make another house?" Anna asks. She is hopeful. + +"Of course, you can. You did a great job. You had success. You can try again. But this time, let's use something else to tie the clothes. Something that Spot cannot break. How about some clips?" She says. She is helpful.
