She looked everywhere, but she couldn't find it. + +Lily asked her mom, "Mommy, where is my toy?" + +Her mom replied, "Did you check your toy box?" + +Lily said, "Yes, but it's not there." + +Her mom said, "Hmm, that's difficult. Let's call Daddy and ask if he saw it." + +Lily's mom took out her phone and dialed Daddy's number. Daddy answered and Lily's mom asked, "Did you see Lily's toy?" + +Daddy replied, "Yes, I saw it. I put it in your room. I'll enter the room and bring it to Lily." + +Soon, Daddy entered the room with Lily's toy and Lily was very happy. She hugged her toy tightly and said, "Thank you, Daddy!" +Lily and Ben were playing in the pool with their mom. They liked to splash water at each other and make big waves. They also liked to swim and dive and float. They had a lot of fun in the water. + +But then they saw a big motion in the deep end of the pool. It was a shark! It had a long tail and sharp teeth and it looked very hungry. Lily and Ben were very anxious. They did not want to be near the shark. They screamed and swam to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is a shark in the pool!" they cried. + +Mom looked at the deep end and saw the motion. But she was not anxious. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, kids, that is not a shark. That is a dolphin. It is a friendly animal that likes to play. It will not hurt you." + +Lily and Ben looked again and saw that the motion was indeed a dolphin. It had a round nose and a fin and it made a funny sound. It jumped out of the water and splashed them. Lily and Ben were not anxious anymore. They were curious and happy. They wanted to play with the dolphin. + +"Can we play with the dolphin, mom?" they asked. + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can, but be gentle and careful. The dolphin is a guest in our pool. We have to be nice to it." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom." They swam to the dolphin and touched its skin. It felt smooth and wet. The dolphin smiled and made a sound. It splashed them again and swam with them. Lily and Ben had a lot of fun with the dolphin. They forgot about the shark. They were glad that the motion was a dolphin and not a shark. +Lily was very sleepy. She did not want to wake up. She wanted to stay in her bed with her teddy bear. But her mom came to her room and said, "Lily, it's time to get up. You have to go to school today." + +Lily hid under her blanket and said, "No, mom. I don't want to go to school. I want to sleep more." + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, sweetie. But you have to learn new things and play with your friends. And guess what? Today is a special day. You will have a surprise at school." + +Lily was curious. She liked surprises. She asked, "What surprise, mom?" + +Mom said, "You will see. But you have to get up and get ready. Come on, I will help you." + +Mom pulled the blanket and lifted Lily out of her bed. Lily was still sleepy, but she let mom help her. She put on her clothes, brushed her teeth, and ate her breakfast. Then she took her backpack and her teddy bear and went to the car with mom. + +Mom drove Lily to school. Lily was excited to see what the surprise was. She hoped it was something fun. She said goodbye to mom and went to her classroom. She saw her teacher and her friends. They all smiled and said, "Happy birthday, Lily!" + +Lily was surprised and happy. She had forgotten that today was her birthday. She saw a big cake, balloons, and presents on a table. Her teacher and friends sang a song for her and gave her hugs. Lily felt very special. She thanked them and said, "This is the best surprise ever!" + +She opened her presents and saw many nice things. She got a book, a doll, a puzzle, and a hat. But the last present was the most special. It was from mom. Lily opened it and saw a new teddy bear. It was bigger and softer than her old one. It had a pink bow and a tag that said, "To Lily, from mom. I love you." + +Lily hugged the new teddy bear and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love my surprise. Thank you for waking me up today." +One day, Lily found a caterpillar on a leaf. She liked the caterpillar very much. She wanted to raise it as her pet. She took it home and put it in a jar with some leaves and a stick. + +She named the caterpillar Bob. She talked to Bob every day. She said, "Hello, Bob. You are my original pet. You are not like a dog or a cat. You are special. I love you, Bob." + +But Bob did not like the jar. He wanted to be free. He wanted to eat other leaves and make a cocoon. He tried to tell Lily, but she did not understand. She thought he was happy. + +One night, Bob saw a hole in the jar lid. He crawled out of the jar and went to the window. He saw the moon and the stars. He saw the trees and the flowers. He felt a breeze on his body. He was happy. + +He said, "Goodbye, Lily. Thank you for taking care of me, but I have to go. I have to become a butterfly." + +He flew away and never came back. Lily woke up the next morning and saw the empty jar. She cried and cried. She was sad. She lost her original pet. She never saw Bob again. +Sara likes to teach her doll how to do things. She teaches her doll how to brush her hair, how to say please and thank you, and how to count to ten. Sara is a good teacher and her doll is a good learner. + +One day, Sara decides to teach her doll how to ride a bike. She puts her doll on the bike seat and holds her tight. She tells her doll to pedal with her feet and steer with her hands. Sara walks by her doll's side and helps her balance. Sara is a helpful friend and her doll is a brave rider. + +But then, Sara sees a big dog running towards them. Sara is scared of the big dog and lets go of her doll. Her doll falls off the bike and cries. Sara runs to her doll and hugs her. She says she is sorry and asks if she is hurt. Her doll says she is okay, but she is sad. Sara is sad too. + +Sara looks at the big dog and sees that he is not mean. He is wagging his tail and licking his lips. He wants to play with them. Sara smiles and says hello to the big dog. She asks him his name and he barks. Sara says his name is Spot and he is a nice dog. She asks her doll if she wants to play with Spot. Her doll nods and smiles. + +Sara picks up her doll and the bike and walks with Spot. She teaches her doll how to pet Spot and how to throw a ball for him. She teaches Spot how to sit and how to fetch. Sara, her doll, and Spot have fun together. Sara is a good teacher, her doll is a good learner, and Spot is a good dog. They are all happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They were very jolly and laughed a lot. But there was a big raven on a tree. The raven did not like the noise. He wanted to sleep. + +The raven flew down and landed on the swing. He looked at Lily and Ben with his black eyes. He opened his beak and said, "Shoo, shoo, go away! You are too loud and bother me. I need quiet and peace. Shoo, shoo, go away!" + +Lily and Ben were scared of the raven. They stopped playing and ran to their mom. They told her what the raven said. Their mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. The raven is just grumpy and rude. He has no right to complain and chase you away. This is a park for everyone. You can play and have fun. The raven can find another tree." + +Lily and Ben felt better. They went back to the swing. They saw the raven was gone. He had flown away to another place. Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Bye, bye, raven. We are jolly and happy. We don't care what you say. Bye, bye, raven. Have a nice day." +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a lovely garden with many flowers and trees and a small pond. They also had a sandbox where they could make castles and shapes with the sand. + +One day, Sara had a new idea. She wanted to mix the sand with the water from the pond and make mud pies. She thought they would look yummy and fun. She asked Ben to help her. + +"Let's mix the sand and the water and make mud pies!" she said. + +Ben was not sure. He liked the sand and the water, but he did not like the mud. He thought it was dirty and sticky and smelly. He did not want to make mud pies. + +"No, thank you. I don't want to mix the sand and the water. I want to play with the sand and make a big castle," he said. + +Sara was sad. She wanted to play with Ben and share her idea. She tried to convince him. + +"Please, Ben. It will be fun. We can make many mud pies and pretend they are cakes and cookies. We can decorate them with flowers and leaves and stones. We can have a tea party with the mud pies," she said. + +Ben still did not want to. He liked his castle and did not want to ruin it with the mud. He thought Sara's idea was silly and messy. He did not want to have a tea party with the mud pies. + +"No, Sara. I don't want to play with the mud. I want to play with the sand and make a big castle. You can make mud pies by yourself. I don't care," he said. + +Sara was angry. She thought Ben was mean and selfish. He did not want to try something new and have fun with her. He did not care about her feelings. She decided to make mud pies by herself and show him. + +"Fine, Ben. I will make mud pies by myself. You will see. They will be the best mud pies ever. You will be sorry," she said. + +She took a bucket and a shovel and went to the pond. She filled the bucket with water and poured it on the sand. She mixed the sand and the water with the shovel and made a big pile of mud. She took some of the mud and shaped it into a round pie. She put it on a plate and looked for something to decorate it with. + +She saw a beautiful flower in the garden. It was red and yellow and smelled sweet. She thought it would be perfect for her mud pie. She picked the flower and stuck it on the mud pie. She smiled and admired her work. + +She did not know that the flower was special. It was a flower that their mother had planted for their father's birthday. It was his favorite flower and he was looking forward to seeing it bloom. Their mother had told them not to touch the flower and to be careful around it. She had said it was a surprise for their father and a way to show him their love. + +Sara had forgotten about that. She only thought about her mud pie and how pretty it looked. She made more mud pies and decorated them with more flowers and leaves and stones. She arranged them on a tray and carried them to the sandbox. She wanted to show Ben her mud pies and make him jealous. + +She did not see their mother coming from the house. She did not hear her gasp when she saw the flowerless stem in the garden. She did not notice her frown when she saw the mud pies on the tray. She only saw Ben's face when she reached the sandbox. + +"Look, Ben. Look at my mud pies. Aren't they lovely? Don't you wish you had made them with me?" she said. + +Ben looked at the mud pies. He saw the flower on one of them. He recognized it as the flower that their mother had planted for their father. He remembered what their mother had said about the flower. He felt a pang of guilt and fear. + +"Sara, what have you done? That's the flower that mom planted for dad. You picked it and put it on your mud pie. You ruined the surprise and the gift. Mom will be so mad and sad. Dad will be so disappointed and hurt. How could you do that?" he said. + +Sara looked at the flower. She realized what she had done. She felt a surge of shame and regret. She had not meant to hurt anyone. She had only wanted to make mud pies and have fun. She had not thought about the consequences of her actions. She had not listened to her brother or her mother. She had been foolish and careless. + +She saw her mother standing behind her. She saw her eyes filled with tears and anger. She heard her voice trembling with sorrow and disbelief. + +"Sara, Ben, what is this? What have you done to the garden +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy farm. They had many animals, but their favorite was the pig. The pig was pink and soft and made funny noises. They liked to feed the pig and brush its hair. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She wanted to make the pig more fancy. She found some ribbons and stickers and put them on the pig. She also gave the pig a hat and a necklace. She showed Ben her work and said, "Look, Ben, our pig is so fancy now!" + +Ben looked at the pig and frowned. He did not like the ribbons and stickers. He thought they were silly and messy. He said, "No, Lily, our pig is not fancy. Our pig is silly. I liked our pig better before." + +Lily was sad. She liked the pig with the ribbons and stickers. She thought they were pretty and fun. She said, "But, Ben, our pig is happy. Look, it is smiling and wagging its tail. It likes to be fancy." + +Ben looked at the pig again. He saw that the pig was smiling and wagging its tail. He also saw that Lily was sad. He did not want to make Lily sad. He said, "Okay, Lily, our pig can be fancy. But can we also play with the other animals? They are not fancy, but they are nice." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Ben, we can play with the other animals. They are nice, too. And we can share our pig. Sometimes it can be fancy, and sometimes it can be simple. As long as it is happy, we are happy." + +They hugged and played with their toy farm. They fed and brushed the pig and the other animals. They had fun and were happy. The pig was happy, too. It did not mind being fancy or simple. It liked to be loved. +Lily liked to travel with her mom and dad. They went to many places in their big car. Lily always brought her favorite jacket. It was pink and soft and had a flower on it. Lily thought it was very pretty. + +One day, they traveled to a big park. There were many trees and flowers and animals. Lily saw a squirrel, a bird, and a rabbit. She wanted to say hello to them, but they ran away. Lily was sad. She wanted to make friends. + +She saw a big pond with ducks and geese. She ran to the edge and threw some bread. The ducks and geese came closer and ate the bread. Lily smiled. She liked the ducks and geese. They made funny noises. + +But then, a big goose grabbed Lily's jacket with its beak. It pulled and pulled. Lily screamed. She did not want to lose her jacket. Her mom and dad came and scared the goose away. They hugged Lily and checked her jacket. It had a small hole, but it was still pretty. + +Lily was happy. She still had her jacket and her mom and dad. She said goodbye to the ducks and geese. She learned that some animals are nice and some are not. She still liked to travel, but she was careful with her jacket. +Tom and Lily were playing with water in the garden. They had a big tub of water and some cups and spoons. They poured water on the grass, on the flowers, and on each other. They laughed and splashed and had fun. + +But then the sun came out and it was very hot. The water in the tub got less and less. The grass and the flowers and their clothes got dry. Tom and Lily felt thirsty and tired. They wanted more water to play with and to drink. + +They looked around and saw a hose. The hose was blue and long and had a nozzle. Tom ran to the hose and turned it on. Water came out of the nozzle, but it was not gentle and soft. It was harsh and strong. It hurt Tom's hand and made him cry. + +Lily heard Tom cry and ran to him. She saw the hose and the water and the nozzle. She had an idea. She took the nozzle from Tom and pointed it at the sun. She said, "Go away, sun! You are too hot and you make our water dry. We want to play with water, not with you!" + +She squeezed the nozzle and water sprayed at the sun. The sun did not like that. It hid behind a cloud and made a loud noise. Tom and Lily were scared and dropped the hose. The water stopped and the noise stopped. The sun came out again, but it was not as hot as before. It smiled at Tom and Lily and said, "Sorry, kids. I did not mean to make your water dry. I just wanted to make you warm and happy. Here, have some more water to play with and to drink." The sun made a rain shower and filled the tub with water. Tom and Lily were happy and thanked the sun. They picked up the hose and the cups and the spoons and played with water again. They laughed and splashed and had fun. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would kick it, throw it, and roll it in the yard. One day, they saw a new boy in the house next door. He had a blue bike and a yellow hat. He looked fun. + +"Hi, I'm Sam," the boy said. "Can I play with you?" + +"Sure," Ben and Mia said. "We have a big red ball. Do you want to try?" + +Sam nodded and smiled. He came over and took the ball. He kicked it hard and far. Ben and Mia ran after it. + +"Wow, you're good," Ben said. + +"Thanks," Sam said. "But I can do better. Watch this." He threw the ball high in the air. It flew over the fence and landed in the street. + +"Oh no," Mia said. "That's our ball. We have to get it back." + +They ran to the fence and looked. The ball was in the middle of the street. A big truck was coming fast. It hit the ball and popped it. The ball was flat and broken. + +"Sorry," Sam said. "I didn't mean to." + +Ben and Mia felt sad and angry. They liked their ball. It was their favorite toy. Now it was gone. + +"That was a bad thing to do," Ben said. "You spoiled our ball. You spoiled our fun. We don't want to play with you anymore." + +They turned away and went back to their house. They didn't say goodbye to Sam. They didn't want to be his friend. + +Sam felt sorry and lonely. He wished he had been more careful. He wished he had been more nice. He wanted to play with Ben and Mia. He wanted to be their friend. + +He went back to his house. He saw his blue bike and his yellow hat. He didn't feel like riding or wearing them. He felt like crying. + +He hoped Ben and Mia would forgive him. He hoped they would play with him again. He hoped they would share their lunch with him. He was hungry and he had no lunch. He had spoiled that too. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, they went to the shore with their moms. The shore had sand and water and shells and rocks. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big shell!" Max said. He showed Lily a shiny shell with stripes. "Do you want it?" + +Lily smiled. She liked the shell. But she saw another shell that was pink and round. She liked that one too. She had to choose. + +"Thank you, Max. Your shell is very pretty. But I like this one more." Lily said. She picked up the pink shell. "Can we trade?" + +Max nodded. He was a loyal friend. He did not mind. He gave Lily his shell and took hers. "OK, Lily. Let's trade. I like your shell too. It looks like a ball." + +Lily and Max were happy. They traded their shells and hugged. They put their shells in their buckets and ran to the water. They splashed and laughed and had fun. They were glad they had each other. They were the best friends on the shore. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big rose bush with many red flowers. Sara wanted to smell the roses, but they were too high for her. + +"Ben, can you help me?" Sara asked. "I want to smell the roses." + +"OK, Sara. I have an idea. You can stand on my shoulders and balance. Then you can reach the roses. But be careful, they have thorns," Ben said. + +Sara climbed on Ben's shoulders and tried to balance. She stretched her hand to touch a rose. It smelled sweet and nice. But she also saw something shiny and mysterious behind the rose. It looked like a necklace. + +"Ben, look! There is something behind the rose. It is shiny and pretty. Can I have it?" Sara said. + +"I don't know, Sara. Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe it is a magic necklace. Maybe it is a trap. We should be careful," Ben said. + +Sara was curious and wanted the necklace. She reached for it with her other hand. But she lost her balance and fell off Ben's shoulders. She landed on the grass with a thud. The necklace fell with her and landed on her chest. + +"Ouch! Sara, are you OK?" Ben asked. + +"I'm OK, Ben. But look, I have the necklace. It is so beautiful. It has a star and a moon and a heart. Do you think it is magic?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know, Sara. Maybe it is. Maybe it is not. Maybe we should ask Mom or Dad. Come on, let's go inside and show them," Ben said. + +Sara and Ben ran inside with the necklace. They wondered who left it behind the rose and what it could do. They felt excited and scared at the same time. They had found a mysterious and shiny thing in the garden. +Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play at the beach. One day, they wake up early and go to the beach with their moms. They see big waves and small waves. They hear the waves say "shhh" and "woosh". + +"Look, Lila, a big wave!" Sam says. He runs to the water and jumps over the wave. He laughs and splashes. + +"Wait for me, Sam!" Lila says. She runs after him and tries to jump over the wave too. But the wave is too big and it knocks her down. She feels wet and cold. + +"Are you okay, Lila?" Sam asks. He helps her stand up and hugs her. + +"I'm okay, Sam. But I'm hungry," Lila says. She rubs her tummy. + +"Me too, Lila. Let's go eat," Sam says. They hold hands and walk to their moms. Their moms have sandwiches and juice for them. They eat and drink and feel happy. + +"Thank you, mom," Lila and Sam say. + +"You're welcome, sweeties. Did you have fun at the beach?" their moms ask. + +"Yes, mom. We saw big waves and small waves. We played and laughed. We love the beach," Lila and Sam say. + +They smile and hug their moms. They are friends. They like to play at the beach. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big bean on the ground. It was green and shiny and had spots on it. + +"Wow, look at this bean!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. I want to keep it." + +"No, I want it!" Tom said. "It is mine. I saw it first." + +They both grabbed the bean and pulled hard. But the bean was too strong and it slipped from their hands. It rolled away and fell into a hole. + +"Oh no, we lost the bean!" Lily and Tom cried. They ran to the hole and looked inside. But it was too dark and deep. They could not see the bean. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. A wild animal came out of the hole. It had big teeth and claws and fur. It was angry and hungry. It saw Lily and Tom and growled. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Tom screamed. They were scared and sorry. They wished they had shared the bean. + +They ran away from the animal and hid behind a tree. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"I am sorry, Lily. I was greedy and mean. I should have let you have the bean." Tom said. + +"I am sorry, Tom. I was selfish and rude. I should have let you have the bean." Lily said. + +They learned their lesson. They decided to be kind and generous to each other and to other friends. They never fought over a bean again. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big flame in the sky. It was a hot air balloon. It was pink and had flowers on it. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "I want to go in the balloon." + +"Me too," Ben said. "But how can we get there?" + +They thought hard. They had a plan. They ran to the swings and pushed each other high. They hoped the balloon would see them and come down. + +But the balloon did not see them. It flew away to another place. Lily and Ben were sad. They stopped swinging and sat on the grass. + +"Maybe we can try again another day," Lily said. + +"Maybe," Ben said. "Or maybe we can make our own balloon." + +They smiled. They liked their new plan. They went to find some paper, string and crayons. They wanted to make a pink balloon with flowers on it. They wanted to fly in the sky. +True was a ball. He liked to roll and bounce and play. But he had no friends. He was lonely. He wished he could find someone to roll and bounce and play with. + +One day, he saw a big hill. He thought, maybe I can roll down the hill and find a friend. He rolled up the hill and looked around. He saw a lot of things. He saw trees and flowers and birds and bugs. But he did not see any balls. + +He felt sad. He said, "Where are the balls? Where are my friends?" He did not hear an answer. He decided to roll down the hill and look some more. + +He rolled down the hill very fast. He felt the wind and the sun and the grass. He felt happy for a moment. But then he saw something scary. He saw a big road. He saw cars and trucks and buses. They were loud and fast and angry. They did not see him. + +He tried to stop. He tried to turn. He tried to go back. But he could not. He rolled onto the road. He heard a horn. He heard a scream. He heard a crash. + +He felt a pain. He felt a tear. He felt nothing. + +True was a ball. He liked to roll and bounce and play. But he had no friends. He was lonely. He was gone. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many rocks. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lila!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find a king or a castle or a dragon!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lila said. "But be careful. The rocks are sharp and hard." + +They started to climb the hill. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the rocks. They went higher and higher. They felt brave and happy. + +But then, Tom slipped on a loose rock. He lost his balance and started to fall. He screamed, "Lila, help!" + +Lila heard Tom and turned around. She saw him stumble and roll down the hill. She was scared and worried. She ran after him and tried to catch him. + +"Tom, Tom, are you OK?" Lila shouted. + +She reached him at the bottom of the hill. He was lying on the grass. He had some scratches and bruises, but he was not badly hurt. He opened his eyes and saw Lila. + +"Lila, you saved me!" Tom said. "Thank you, thank you!" + +He hugged Lila and she hugged him back. They were both relieved and glad. + +They decided to go back to the playground and play on the swings. They did not want to climb the hill anymore. They did not care about the king or the castle or the dragon. They only cared about each other. They were best friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Sometimes they have meetings. They sit on the floor and talk about important things. + +One day, they have a meeting about snacks. Lily says, "I want cookies. Cookies are yummy and sweet." Ben says, "I want crackers. Crackers are crunchy and salty." They do not agree. + +They look at the snack box. There are many cookies and crackers. Lily says, "Let's order. You can have one cookie and I can have one cracker. Then we can share." Ben says, "OK. That sounds fair." + +They order their snacks. They take one cookie and one cracker each. They break them in half. They give each other a half. They say, "Thank you." + +They eat their snacks. They are happy. They say, "We are good friends. We have good meetings. We like cookies and crackers." They smile. They hug. They play some more. +Tim and Jen like to play with blocks. They make tall towers and bridges and houses. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they want to make the biggest tower ever. They use all the blocks they have and stack them high. They are very careful and try not to make the tower fall. + +They are almost done. They only need one more block to complete the tower. Tim reaches for the last block and puts it on top. He is very happy and proud. + +But then, a loud noise makes them jump. It is their dog, Rex. He runs into the room and barks. He sees the tower and thinks it is a toy. He jumps and tries to catch the top block. + +Oh no! The tower shakes and wobbles. Tim and Jen scream. The tower falls down and makes a big mess. Blocks fly everywhere and hit the floor. Rex runs away and hides. + +Tim and Jen are sad and angry. They worked hard to make the tower and now it is gone. They cry and hug each other. + +But then, they look at each other and smile. They are tough and brave. They can make another tower. They can make it even bigger and better. They pick up the blocks and start again. They have fun and laugh a lot. +Ben and Mia liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. One day, they found a big shell that was closed. Mia wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Maybe it is an oyster," she said. "Oysters have pearls. Pearls are shiny and pretty." + +Ben was not sure. He remembered what his mom had told him. "Mom said we should not touch oysters. They can be sharp and hurt us. And they can make us sick if we eat them." + +He tried to warn Mia, but she did not listen. She used a stick to pry the shell open. She was excited to see a pearl. But when she reached for it, the oyster snapped shut on her finger. Mia screamed in pain. + +Ben ran to get his mom. Mom came quickly and helped Mia. She took the oyster off her finger and cleaned the wound. She gave Mia a hug and a band-aid. + +"Mia, you should listen to Ben. He was trying to warn you. Oysters are not toys. They are animals that live in the water. They can be dangerous if you touch them or eat them. Next time, be careful and leave them alone." + +Mia nodded. She was sorry and scared. She said sorry to Ben and thanked him for getting mom. She learned her lesson. She did not want to play with oysters anymore. She wanted to play with Ben and look for other shells. Shells that were not sharp and did not bite. +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going on a safari with Mom and Dad. They saw many big animals, like lions, elephants and giraffes. They took many pictures and had a lot of fun. + +On the last day, they had to pack their bags and go back home. Anna was very thoughtful. She wanted to give a gift to the nice man who drove them around the safari. She had a small toy lion that she loved very much. She decided to put it in his bag as a surprise. + +She waited until he was not looking and quickly unpacked his bag. She put her toy lion inside and zipped it up. She smiled and ran back to her parents. + +The nice man did not see what Anna did. He did not know that she had unpacked his bag. He did not know that she had put her toy lion inside. He did not know that he had something else in his bag. + +He had a big gun in his bag. He was not a nice man. He was a bad man. He wanted to shoot the big animals and sell their skins. He was a poacher. + +When he got to his car, he opened his bag and saw the toy lion. He was very angry. He threw the toy lion on the ground and stomped on it. He broke it into pieces. He did not care that it was a gift from a little girl. He did not care that it was her favorite toy. He only cared about his gun and his money. + +Anna saw what he did. She was very sad. She cried and cried. She ran to her toy lion and tried to pick up the pieces. She wanted to hug it and make it better. But it was too late. Her toy lion was gone. She had lost her friend. She had made a big mistake. She wished she had never unpacked his bag. She wished she had never gone on the safari. She wished she had never met the bad man. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys because their parents were wealthy and bought them whatever they wanted. But they also liked to share their toys with other children who had less. + +One day, they decided to mail some of their toys to their cousin Ben, who lived far away. They asked their mom to help them pack the toys in a big tube. The tube was long and round and had a lid on both ends. + +"Mom, can we put a letter in the tube too?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. What do you want to write to Ben?" Mom said. + +"Dear Ben, we hope you like these toys. We miss you and love you. From Tom and Lily." Tom said. + +"That's very nice, Tom. Here, I'll help you write it on a piece of paper." Mom said. + +They put the letter and the toys in the tube and closed the lid. Then they went with Mom to the post office, where they gave the tube to a man who wore a blue shirt and a hat. + +"Thank you for mailing this tube. It's very heavy. Where is it going?" The man asked. + +"It's going to our cousin Ben. He lives far away and he doesn't have many toys. We want to make him happy." Lily said. + +"That's very kind of you, Lily. I'm sure Ben will be very happy when he gets this tube. It will take a few days, but it will get there safely." The man said. + +"Thank you, mister. Bye!" Tom and Lily said. + +They waved goodbye to the man and went back to their car with Mom. They felt good about mailing their toys to Ben. They still had many toys at home, but they knew that sharing was more fun. +Lily and Ben like to play with their boat in the pond. They make the boat go fast and slow, and pretend it is a pirate ship or a rescue boat. They have fun with their boat. + +One day, they see a big duck in the pond. The duck is not moving or quacking. It is floating on the water. Lily and Ben think the duck is dead. They feel sad for the duck. + +They want to help the duck. They take their boat and hurry to the duck. They try to push the duck with their boat. They hope the duck will wake up and swim. + +But the duck does not wake up. It is still dead. Lily and Ben are very sad. They do not want to play with their boat anymore. They leave the pond and go to their mom. + +Mom sees their sad faces and hugs them. She tells them that sometimes animals die and it is not their fault. She says they were kind and brave to try to help the duck. She says they can play with their boat another day. She makes them some cookies and milk. Lily and Ben feel a little better. They love their mom. +Tim and Sue are friends who like to play outside. One day, they find a big pile of leaves in the park. They decide to have fun and jump into the leaves. + +"Let's prepare a leaf fort!" Tim says. "We can hide inside and pretend we are soldiers." + +"Okay!" Sue agrees. "But we need to find the toughest leaves, so they don't break." + +They start to look for the tough leaves. They pick the ones that are green and thick, not the ones that are brown and dry. They stack them up and make a wall around them. + +"Look at our leaf fort!" Tim says proudly. "It is so strong and cozy. No one can see us or bother us." + +They crawl inside and giggle. They feel happy and safe. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is the park keeper. He is coming with a big rake. He wants to clean up the leaves. + +"Oh no!" Sue says. "He is going to ruin our leaf fort!" + +"Quick, let's get out!" Tim says. "Maybe he won't notice us." + +They try to sneak out, but it is too late. The park keeper sees them and frowns. + +"Hey, you kids!" he says. "What are you doing here? Don't you know these leaves are for the compost? You are making a mess and wasting resources." + +He starts to rake the leaves away, including their leaf fort. Tim and Sue feel sad and sorry. + +"We didn't know, mister," Tim says. "We just wanted to have fun." + +"Well, fun is good, but you also need to respect nature," the park keeper says. "These leaves are not toys. They are part of the cycle of life. They help the soil and the plants grow. You should learn to appreciate them, not destroy them." + +He shows them the compost bin, where he puts the leaves. He explains how the leaves decompose and become fertilizer. + +"Wow, that's amazing," Sue says. "We didn't know leaves could do that." + +"See, you can have fun and learn something new at the same time," the park keeper says. "Next time, why don't you help me rake the leaves, instead of making a fort? I could use some helpers." + +"Okay, mister, we will," Tim says. "We are sorry for the trouble. We will be more careful next time." + +They smile and shake hands with the park keeper. They learn a lesson and make a new friend. + +The moral of the story is: Respect nature and its resources, and you will discover its wonders and benefits. +Tim is a gifted boy. He likes to work with his dad. His dad is a cook. He makes meat and other food for people. Tim helps his dad by washing the dishes and setting the table. + +One day, Tim's dad has a big order. He has to make meat for a lot of people. He is very busy. He asks Tim to work with him. Tim is happy. He wants to help his dad. + +Tim works hard. He washes the dishes and sets the table. He also helps his dad by cutting the meat and putting it in the oven. He is careful not to hurt himself. He is a good helper. + +When the meat is ready, Tim's dad puts it on a big plate. He gives it to Tim. He says, "This is for you, Tim. You are a gifted boy. You worked very well with me. You deserve a treat. You can eat some of the meat if you want." + +Tim is very happy. He hugs his dad. He says, "Thank you, dad. You are the best cook. I love you. I love working with you. And I love meat." He takes a bite of the meat. It is delicious. He smiles. He is a gifted boy. +Tom had a drum. He liked to play his drum very loud. He made boom boom boom sounds with his drum. He did not care if other people did not like his drum. He thought he was lucky to have a drum. + +One day, Tom was playing his drum in his room. He was thirsty. He saw a bottle on his desk. He did not know what was in the bottle. He thought it was water. He opened the bottle and drank some. It was not water. It was something bad. It made him feel sick. He dropped his drum and fell on the floor. + +His mom heard the noise and ran to his room. She saw Tom on the floor and the bottle on his desk. She was scared. She called for help. She took Tom to the hospital. The doctors said Tom drank something poisonous. They said he might not get better. Tom's mom was very sad. She wished Tom did not drink the bad thing. She wished Tom did not play his drum so loud. She wished Tom was more careful. She wished Tom was lucky. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books and more. They have a big box to store their toys when they are done playing. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with their blocks. They build a tall tower with many colors. They are very proud of their tower. They want to show it to Mom and Dad. + +"Look, Mom and Dad, we made a tower!" they say. + +Mom and Dad come to see their tower. They smile and clap. + +"Wow, what a great tower!" Mom says. "You are very clever and creative!" + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Ben say. + +Dad takes a picture of their tower with his phone. He says, "This is a very special tower. We should keep it for a long time." + +"How can we keep it, Dad?" Lily asks. + +"Well, we can store it under your bed. That way, it will be safe and you can see it every day." Dad says. + +"Okay, Dad. But we have to be careful. We don't want to break it." Ben says. + +"Yes, you have to be careful. Let me help you move it." Dad says. + +Dad lifts the tower with his hands. He is very careful. He walks slowly to their bedroom. Lily and Ben follow him. They help him put the tower under their bed. + +"There, now your tower is stored under your bed. You can look at it anytime you want." Dad says. + +"Thank you, Dad. We love our tower." Lily and Ben say. + +They hug Dad and give him a kiss. They are very happy. They have a special tower and a special Dad. +Ben and Lily like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with different pictures. Sometimes they make the puzzles by themselves, and sometimes they help each other. + +One day, they find a new puzzle in a box. It has a picture of a big house with many windows and doors. The puzzle has many pieces, and some of them are very small. Ben and Lily want to solve the puzzle and see the whole picture. + +They start to put the pieces together on the floor. They look for the pieces that have the same colors or shapes. They find the pieces that have the edges of the house, and the pieces that have the sky and the trees. They work hard and have fun. + +But they cannot find the last piece. They look everywhere, but they cannot see it. They are sad and confused. Where is the last piece? + +They ask their mom for help. Mom comes and looks at the puzzle. She smiles and says, "I know where the last piece is. It is in the box." She shows them the box. The box is old and has a hole in the corner. The last piece fell out of the hole and is hiding in the box. + +Ben and Lily are happy and surprised. They take the last piece and put it in the puzzle. Now the puzzle is complete and they can see the whole picture. They hug their mom and thank her for helping them solve the puzzle. They are proud of their work and show it to their dad. Dad is proud of them too and says, "You are very smart and clever. You did a great job!" +Tom and Mia are eating soup for lunch. They like soup, but they do not like the carrots in it. They try to hide the carrots under their spoons, but Mom sees them. + +"Tom and Mia, you have to eat your carrots. They are good for you," Mom says. + +"But we do not like them, Mom. They are yucky," Tom and Mia say. + +Mom sighs. She knows they are picky eaters. She has an idea. She gives them each a small bowl and says, "Why don't you make a carrot soup for your teddy bears? They are hungry too, and they love carrots." + +Tom and Mia think this is fun. They take their spoons and throw some carrots into their bowls. They add some water and stir. They pretend to taste their soup and say, "Mmm, this is yummy. Teddy, do you want some?" + +They take their teddy bears and feed them the soup. They make slurping noises and say, "Teddy, you are a good eater. You eat all your carrots. You are helpful. You help us finish our soup." + +Mom smiles. She is happy that Tom and Mia are playing and eating. She says, "You are very clever, Tom and Mia. You made a nice soup for your teddy bears. And you ate your carrots too. You are helpful. You help me clean your plates." + +Tom and Mia are proud. They hug their teddy bears and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. And we love soup. And we love carrots. Well, maybe a little." +Tom likes to go to the gym with his dad. The gym has many things to play with. Tom likes to climb on the bars, swing on the ropes, and jump on the mats. He also likes to watch his dad lift heavy things and run fast on the machine. + +One day, Tom sees a new thing in the gym. It is a big bottle with a button. Tom is curious. He picks up the bottle and pushes the button. A fine mist comes out of the bottle. It is a spray bottle. Tom thinks it is fun. He sprays the air, the walls, and the floor. He laughs and runs around with the bottle. + +But then, Tom sprays his dad by mistake. His dad is sweaty and tired from running. He does not like to be sprayed. He gets angry and shouts at Tom. "Stop that, Tom! That is not a toy! That is for cleaning the gym! You are making a mess!" + +Tom feels scared and sad. He drops the bottle and runs to his dad. He says he is sorry. He hugs his dad and wipes his face with his shirt. His dad calms down and hugs him back. He says he is sorry too. He tells Tom that the spray bottle is not for playing. It is for making the gym light and fresh. He shows Tom how to use it properly. He lets Tom help him spray the mats and the bars. Tom learns something new. He is happy again. He and his dad finish cleaning the gym and go home. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big pool of water. It is shiny and wet. + +"Can we play in the water?" Lily asks Tom. + +Tom nods. "Yes, but we have to be careful. The water is deep and cold. We need to mind our feet and our clothes." + +They take off their shoes and socks. They roll up their pants and skirts. They hold hands and walk to the water. They feel the water on their toes. It is cold and ticklish. + +"Look, I can splash the water!" Lily says. She kicks the water with her foot. The water flies up and makes a sound. + +"Me too!" Tom says. He kicks the water with his foot. The water flies up and makes a sound. + +They laugh and splash the water. They have fun. They are ready to play in the water. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lila has a new toy. It is a big doll with a pink dress and long hair. Lila is very happy with her toy. She shows it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, this is my new toy. Her name is Anna. She is very pretty and nice. Do you want to play with her?" Lila asks. + +Tom looks at the doll. He thinks it is too big and too pink. He does not like dolls. He likes cars and trains. He has a small car with four wheels and a horn. He is modest with his toy. He does not show it to Lila. + +"No, thank you, Lila. I do not want to play with your doll. I have my car. It is very fast and fun. Do you want to play with my car?" Tom asks. + +Lila looks at the car. She thinks it is too small and too loud. She does not like cars. She likes dolls and books. She has a big book with many pictures and words. She is modest with her book. She does not show it to Tom. + +"No, thank you, Tom. I do not want to play with your car. I have my book. It is very interesting and smart. Do you want to read my book?" Lila asks. + +Tom and Lila do not want to play with each other's toys. They are sad and bored. They do not know what to do. Then, they see a big box in the corner. It has a wrap with many colors and a bow. It is a gift for someone. + +"Wow, what is that?" Tom asks. + +"I do not know. Maybe it is a surprise for us. Let us see what is inside." Lila says. + +They run to the box. They open the wrap. They see many things inside. There are balls and blocks and puzzles and crayons and stickers and hats and masks and more. They are very happy and excited. They clap their hands. + +"Look, Lila, there are so many toys for us. We can play with anything we want. This is the best gift ever." Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, you are right. We can share and have fun. This is the best day ever." Lila says. + +They hug each other. They smile. They play with the toys. They are friends. They are modest and grateful. They thank the person who gave them the gift. They have a good time. The end. +Lily loves to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes to look at the pictures and learn new words. Sometimes, she reads to her teddy bear and pretends to be a teacher. + +One day, Lily finds a new book on her bed. It is a gift from her grandma. The book is about animals. It has lively colors and sounds. Lily is very happy. She opens the book and sees a lion, a monkey, a zebra and more. + +She runs to her teddy bear and says, "Look, Teddy, I have a new book. It is very fun. Do you want me to teach you about animals?" Teddy nods and smiles. Lily sits next to him and turns the pages. + +"This is a lion," she says, pointing at the picture. "He is big and strong. He has a mane and a roar. Can you roar like a lion, Teddy?" Teddy tries to roar, but it sounds more like a squeak. Lily laughs and hugs him. "That's okay, Teddy. You are a good listener." + +She continues to teach him about the other animals. She makes the sounds and the movements of each one. Teddy watches and tries to copy her. They have a lot of fun. Lily feels proud and happy. She thinks, "I love books. And I love Teddy. And I love grandma. She gave me the best gift ever." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big fire in the woods. They wanted to go closer and see what it was. But their mom said, "No, fire is hot and can hurt you. Stay away from fire, it is not friendly." + +Tom and Lily did not listen to their mom. They waited until she was busy and ran to the woods. They saw the fire was very bright and made a loud noise. They thought it was fun and wanted to touch it. But then they heard a voice. + +"Hello, little ones. What are you doing here?" The voice came from a big bear who was sitting near the fire. He had a name tag that said, "Bob". He looked friendly, but Tom and Lily were scared. + +"We are sorry, Mr. Bear. We just wanted to see the fire. We did not know you were here," Tom said. + +"Fire is not for playing, little ones. Fire is for keeping warm and cooking food. Fire can also be dangerous and burn things. You should listen to your mom and stay away from fire," Bob said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They realized they had been wrong and foolish. They thanked Bob for his advice and ran back to their mom. They told her what happened and said they were sorry. Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are safe and learned your lesson. Fire is not friendly, but Bob is. He is a good bear who helped you. Maybe we can visit him again and bring him some honey." + +Tom and Lily agreed. They learned that fire is not friendly, but some animals are. They also learned to obey their mom and not go where they should not. They were happy and grateful for their new friend, Bob. +Anna and Ben are playing in the living room. They see a big box on the shelf. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's grab the box!" Ben says. "Maybe there are toys or candy!" + +Anna nods. She climbs on the couch and reaches for the box. Ben helps her pull it down. They open the box and find many photos. + +"Wow, look at these!" Anna says. "They are pictures of Mommy and Daddy and us!" + +Ben picks up a photo. He sees himself as a baby. He is smiling and holding a ball. + +"This is me!" he says. "I was so small and cute!" + +Anna finds a photo of herself as a baby. She is wearing a pink dress and a bow. She is sitting on a swing. + +"This is me!" she says. "I was so pretty and happy!" + +They show each other their photos. They laugh and hug. They are glad they have each other. + +Mommy comes into the living room. She sees the box and the photos on the floor. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" she asks. "Did you grab my box?" + +Anna and Ben look at Mommy. They feel a little scared. They think Mommy is angry. + +"Sorry, Mommy," Anna says. "We just wanted to see what was inside." + +Mommy smiles. She is not angry. She is happy to see them. + +"It's okay, sweeties," she says. "You can look at the photos. They are easy to see. They are memories of our family. I love you both very much." + +She sits down with them and tells them stories about the photos. They listen and ask questions. They have fun and learn new things. They are a happy family. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a rabbit named Fluffy. Fluffy is white and soft. Fluffy likes to eat carrots. + +One day, Tom and Lily find a big carrot in the garden. They want to give it to Fluffy. But they have a problem. They do not know how to spell carrot. They want to write a card for Fluffy. + +"Let's ask Mom," Tom says. "She knows how to write." + +"No, let's ask Dad," Lily says. "He is reliable. He always helps us." + +They run to the house. They find Mom and Dad in the kitchen. They show them the carrot. + +"Wow, what a big carrot!" Mom says. "Who is it for?" + +"It's for Fluffy," Tom says. "But we don't know how to write carrot. Can you help us?" + +"Sure, we can help you," Dad says. "But first, you have to tell us what sound each letter makes. Do you remember?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They have learned some sounds at school. + +"Okay, let's start with C," Dad says. "What sound does C make?" + +"Kuh, kuh, kuh," Tom and Lily say. + +"Good, that's right," Dad says. "Now, what letter comes after C?" + +"A," Lily says. + +"Very good," Mom says. "And what sound does A make?" + +"Ah, ah, ah," Tom and Lily say. + +They continue like this until they spell the whole word. Mom and Dad write it on a card. They also draw a picture of Fluffy and the carrot. + +"Here you go," Mom says. "Now you can give this to Fluffy. He will be very happy." + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad," Tom and Lily say. "You are the best." + +They hug their parents and run back to the garden. They find Fluffy in his cage. They give him the card and the carrot. + +"Look, Fluffy," Tom says. "We have a surprise for you. We wrote your name and your favorite food." + +Fluffy sniffs the card and the carrot. He wiggles his nose and ears. He nibbles the carrot. He looks at Tom and Lily.

Tom tries to answer. + +"What is this?" Lily shows Tom a picture of a fat cat. + +"That is a cat. A fat cat." Tom says. + +"Good. You are smart. Next question. What is this?" Lily shows Tom a picture of a red ball. + +"That is a ball. A red ball." Tom says. + +"Good. You are smart. Last question. What is this?" Lily shows Tom a picture of a cake. + +"That is a cake. A yummy cake." Tom says. + +"Good. You are smart. You win the quiz. You get a prize." Lily says. + +"What is the prize?" Tom asks. + +Lily gives Tom a big hug. "The prize is a hug. And a piece of cake. We can share the cake." Lily says. + +Tom smiles. "Thank you. You are a good friend. I like to play quiz with you." Tom says. + +They eat the cake and hug again. They are happy. They like to play together. The end. +Mia and Leo were playing with their drums. They liked to make loud noises and feel the rhythm in their hands and feet. They tried to copy the sounds they heard on the radio or from their parents. + +"Boom, boom, boom!" Mia said, hitting her drum with a stick. "This is how you play rock music!" + +"No, no, no!" Leo said, shaking his head. "This is how you play rock music!" He hit his drum faster and harder, making a lot of noise. + +They both laughed and played, but soon they got tired and bored. They wanted to play something else. + +"Let's play animals!" Mia said. "I want to be a lion!" + +"OK, I want to be a monkey!" Leo said. "But how do we play animals?" + +Mia thought for a moment. She remembered what her teacher had told her at school. She had a good idea. + +"We can mention the sounds they make!" Mia said. "Like this: roar, roar, roar! I am a lion!" + +Leo nodded. He liked Mia's idea. He tried to mention the sound of a monkey. He opened his mouth and said: "Ooh, ooh, aah, aah! I am a monkey!" + +They both smiled and started to mention the sounds of different animals. They had fun and learned new words. + +But then, they heard a strange sound from outside. It was not like any animal they knew. It was loud and high-pitched, like a whistle. + +"What is that?" Mia asked, feeling confused. + +"I don't know," Leo said, feeling confused too. + +They ran to the window and looked outside. They saw a big truck with a shiny hose. It was spraying water on a house that had smoke coming out of it. + +"It's a fire truck!" Mia said, recognizing the truck from her books. + +"It's a fire truck!" Leo repeated, amazed by the truck. + +They watched the fire truck and the firefighters work. They forgot about their drums and their animals. They wanted to learn more about the fire truck and the fire. They hoped everyone was safe. They decided to ask their parents to tell them more about the fire truck and the fire. They liked to learn new things. +Timmy likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. Sometimes he pretends they are racing or flying or going on adventures. + +One day, Timmy finds a big scale in the bathroom. He wonders what it is for. He steps on it and sees a number. He does not know what the number means. He thinks it is a score for his game. He tries to make the number bigger by jumping and stomping on the scale. + +Daddy comes in and sees Timmy playing with the scale. He laughs and says, "What are you doing, Timmy? That is not a toy. That is a scale. It tells you how much you weigh." + +Timmy looks at Daddy and asks, "What is weigh?" + +Daddy explains, "Weigh means how heavy you are. Everything has a weight. You have a weight, I have a weight, your cars have a weight. The scale shows you your weight in pounds. Pounds are a way to measure weight." + +Timmy thinks this is weird. He says, "Why do we need to know how heavy we are? Does it matter?" + +Daddy says, "Well, sometimes it matters. For example, if you want to ride a bike or a roller coaster, you need to be a certain weight. Or if you want to be healthy and strong, you need to eat good food and not too much or too little. But most of the time, it does not matter. What matters is that you are happy and kind and curious." + +Timmy nods and says, "I see. Can I try to weigh my cars?" + +Daddy smiles and says, "Sure, why not? But be careful not to break the scale. And don't forget to put it back when you are done." + +Timmy says, "Okay, Daddy. Thank you. This is fun." + +He picks up his cars and puts them on the scale one by one. He sees the numbers change and tries to guess which car is the heaviest and which is the lightest. He makes up stories about why his cars have different weights. He has a lot of fun with his new game. +Anna and Ben were playing with scissors and paper. They wanted to make some creative shapes and animals. Anna cut a circle and said, "Look, this is a sun!" Ben cut a triangle and said, "This is a hat!" + +But then, Ben cut his finger by mistake. He cried out loud and showed Anna his cut. It was red and hurt a lot. Anna felt sorry for him and said, "Don't cry, Ben. I know how to heal your cut." + +She ran to the kitchen and got a band-aid and some water. She washed Ben's finger gently and put the band-aid on it. She said, "There, now it will get better soon. The band-aid will keep the cut clean and help it heal." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind and smart. Can we still play with scissors and paper?" + +Anna said, "Yes, but we have to be careful. Scissors are sharp and can cut us. We have to hold them the right way and not cut too fast." + +They agreed and went back to their creative game. They made more shapes and animals and had fun. They also learned to be safe and helpful. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with their eyes. They try to blink a lot and see who can blink more. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lila says. She and Tom start to blink fast. They blink and blink and blink. They count their blinks in their heads. One, two, three, four, five... + +Tom stops blinking. He rubs his eyes. They feel tired and dry. He looks at Lila. She is still blinking. She blinks and blinks and blinks. She does not stop. + +"Lila, stop!" Tom says. "You win! You blink more than me. You are good at this game." + +Lila stops blinking. She smiles. She is happy. She likes to win. She likes to play with Tom. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are good too. You blink a lot. Do you want to play another game?" + +Tom nods. He says, "Yes, please. What game do you want to play?" + +Lila thinks. She says, "How about we play hide and seek? I will hide and you will seek. OK?" + +Tom says, "OK. I will count to ten and then I will find you. No peeking!" + +Lila runs to find a good hiding spot. She does not want Tom to find her. She wants to win again. She finds a big box. She gets inside the box. She closes the lid. She waits for Tom. + +Tom counts to ten. He says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks for Lila. He looks under the bed. He looks behind the curtain. He looks in the closet. He does not see Lila. He wonders where she is. + +Lila hears Tom looking for her. She is quiet. She does not make a sound. She hopes Tom will not find her. She wants to win again. She waits and waits and waits. + +Tom looks everywhere. He does not find Lila. He is confused. He is sad. He does not like this game. He does not like to lose. He does not like to be alone. He says, "Lila, where are you? I give up. You win. Please come out." + +Lila hears Tom. She is surprised. She is proud. She wins again. She is good at this game. She opens the lid. She gets out of the box. She says, "Here I am, Tom. I was in the box. You did not find me. I win." + +Tom sees Lila. He is relieved. He is happy. He is not alone. He says, "Lila, you are very good at hiding. You win. But I do not like this game. It is not fun. It is lonely. Can we play a different game? A game where we can be together?" + +Lila sees Tom. She is sorry. She is kind. She is not lonely. She says, "Tom, I am sorry. I did not mean to make you sad. I like to win, but I like you more. You are my friend. We can play a different game. A game where we can be together. How about we play tag? You are it!" + +Tom smiles. He says, "OK, Lila. I like tag. You are not it. I am it. I will catch you. Run!" + +Lila laughs. She says, "OK, Tom. I will run. But you will not catch me. I am fast. Try to catch me!" + +They run and chase and laugh. They have fun. They are not lonely. They are friends. They blink and blink and blink. They blink with joy. +Tom and Sam like to play baseball in the park. They have a bat, a ball and a glove. They take turns to hit and catch. Tom is older than Sam and he is very bossy. He tells Sam what to do and how to play. Sam does not like that. + +One day, they go to the park and see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a collar and a tag. The dog looks friendly, but Tom is scared. He says to Sam, "Let's go away. The dog is big and mean. It might bite us." + +Sam says, "No, the dog is nice. Look, it is wagging its tail. It wants to play with us. Maybe it likes baseball too. Let's throw the ball and see." + +Tom says, "No, no, no. You are silly. The dog is not nice. It is bad. Give me the ball. I will throw it far away. Then the dog will go away too." + +Sam says, "No, Tom. That is not fair. The ball is mine. You are not the boss of me. Let me have the ball." + +Tom and Sam start to fight. They pull and tug on the ball. They yell and cry. The dog hears them and runs to them. It thinks they are playing too. It jumps on them and tries to get the ball. It barks and licks them. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They let go of the ball and try to run away. But the dog is faster. It chases them and bites them. It bites Tom on his leg and Sam on his arm. It hurts a lot. They scream and cry. + +A man hears them and comes to help. He is the owner of the dog. He says, "Bad dog, bad dog. Stop that. Let go of the boys. I am sorry. Are you OK?" + +Tom and Sam are not OK. They are bleeding and crying. They lay on the ground and hold their wounds. They are very sad and angry. They wish they did not fight. They wish they did not see the dog. They wish they played baseball nicely. But it is too late. The end. +Anna liked to play in the garden. She enjoyed looking at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a big spider on a web. The spider was black and shiny, with eight legs and many eyes. Anna was not afraid of the spider. She wanted to say hello. + +"Hi, spider!" Anna said. "You are very strong. You can make a web and catch flies. Can I be your friend?" + +The spider did not answer. It was busy spinning more silk. Anna watched the spider for a while. She wondered what it would feel like to touch the spider. She reached out her hand slowly. + +"Anna, no!" her mother shouted. She ran to the garden and grabbed Anna's hand. "Don't touch the spider! It might bite you. It is not a friendly bug. Come inside, I will make you a snack." + +Anna was sad. She did not understand why her mother was angry. She liked the spider. She thought it was beautiful and strong. She wanted to play with it. She looked back at the web. The spider was still there, but it seemed to be smiling. It had a secret. It had a surprise for Anna. + +The next day, Anna went to the garden again. She looked for the spider, but she could not find it. She saw the web, but it was empty. She felt disappointed. She missed the spider. She walked around the garden, hoping to see it somewhere. + +Then, she saw something amazing. The spider had made a new web. But this web was not like the other one. This web had a word on it. A word that Anna could read. A word that made her happy. + +The word was "FRIEND". +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big tree with red fruits. Lily wants to try one. She says to Tom, "Look, yummy fruits! Let's get some." + +Tom nods and follows Lily. They run to the tree and try to reach the fruits. But they are too high. Lily and Tom jump and stretch, but they cannot touch them. + +They see a big stick on the ground. Lily has an idea. She says to Tom, "Let's use the stick. Maybe we can knock down some fruits." + +Tom agrees and picks up the stick. He gives it to Lily. Lily holds the stick and swings it at the tree. She hits a fruit and it falls down. Lily and Tom cheer. + +They run to the fruit and pick it up. It is hot from the sun. Lily and Tom blow on it to cool it down. Then they take a bite. It is sweet and juicy. They smile and say, "Mmm, this is good. This is life." +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look for bugs and flowers. One day, she found a cute caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy and had many legs. Lily wanted to keep it as a pet. + +She ran to the house and got a jar. She put the caterpillar in the jar and gave it some leaves to eat. She was very happy with her new friend. She named it Catty. + +But Catty was not happy in the jar. He wanted to be free and explore the garden. He wanted to find a place to make a cocoon and become a butterfly. He tried to climb out of the jar, but it was too high and slippery. + +Lily did not know that Catty was unhappy. She thought he was just sleepy. She decided to wash him with some water and soap. She thought he would like to be clean and shiny. + +She poured some water and soap into the jar and shook it. Catty was scared and wet. He did not like to be washed. He felt sick and dizzy. He wished he could escape. + +Lily saw that Catty was not moving. She thought he was dead. She started to cry. She was very sad and sorry. She did not mean to hurt him. She loved him. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the jar. Her mom saw that Catty was still alive, but very weak. She told Lily that caterpillars do not need to be washed. They need to be free and natural. She helped Lily to take Catty out of the jar and put him back on a leaf in the garden. + +Lily said sorry to Catty and gave him a gentle kiss. She hoped he would forgive her and get better. She watched him crawl away and hoped he would become a beautiful butterfly. She learned to respect and care for the bugs and flowers in the garden. She was still happy, but also wiser. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many green leaves. They want to climb the tree. + +"Can you count how many leaves are on the tree?" Tim asks Sam. + +Sam looks up and tries to count. He says, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty, forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, forty-four, forty-five, forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty-seven, fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty, sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty-three, sixty-four, sixty-five, sixty-six, sixty-seven, sixty-eight, sixty-nine, seventy, seventy-one, seventy-two, seventy-three, seventy-four, seventy-five, seventy-six, seventy-seven, seventy-eight, seventy-nine, eighty, eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three, eighty-four, eighty-five, eighty-six, eighty-seven, eighty-eight, eighty-nine, ninety, ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!" + +Tim claps his hands and says, "Wow, Sam, you are very good at counting! You counted one hundred leaves!" + +Sam smiles and says, "Thank you, Tim. But I think there are more leaves than one hundred. I cannot see all of them. They are too high and too many." + +Tim says, "That's okay, Sam. We don't have to count all of them. We can just enjoy the tree. It is very pretty and lively. It gives us shade and fresh air. And it makes us happy." + +Sam nods and says, "You are right, Tim. The tree is our friend. Let's climb it and have fun." + +Tim and Sam hold each other's palms and start to climb the tree. They laugh and sing and play. They love the tree and the park. They are happy brothers. +Sara liked to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw many things. She saw big animals, like lions and bears. She saw pretty flowers, like roses and daisies. She saw funny people, like clowns and pirates. She liked to dream. + +One night, she had a bad dream. She saw a big bird, like an eagle. The bird had sharp claws and a mean beak. The bird flew down and tried to catch Sara. Sara was scared. She ran and ran, but the bird was faster. She cried and cried, but no one heard her. She did not like the bad dream. + +She woke up and saw her mom. Her mom was holding her and saying, "Shh, shh, it's okay. It was just a dream. You are safe. I am here." Sara hugged her mom and felt better. She told her mom about the bad dream. Her mom said, "I'm sorry you had a bad dream. Sometimes, dreams are not nice. But they are not real. They can't hurt you. You are brave and strong. You can chase away the bad dreams." + +Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." Her mom said, "I love you too, Sara. Now, go back to sleep. Maybe you will have a good dream. Maybe you will see a nice bird, like a robin. The robin will sing to you and make you happy." Sara nodded and closed her eyes. She hoped to see a nice bird. She hoped to have a good dream. She liked to dream. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys and make noise. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They wanted to fit inside the box and pretend it was a spaceship. + +"Let's go to the moon!" Tim said. + +"OK, but I get to be the captain!" Sam said. + +They climbed into the box and closed the lid. They made sounds like rockets and stars. They had fun. + +But then, they heard their mom call them. It was time for dinner. + +"Boys, come out of the box! Dinner is ready!" Mom said. + +Tim and Sam opened the lid and jumped out of the box. They ran to the kitchen. They smelled something good. + +"What is it, Mom?" Tim asked. + +"It's your favorite, spaghetti and meatballs!" Mom said. + +"Yummy!" Sam said. + +They ate their dinner and cleaned their plates. They were happy. + +"Can we have dessert, Mom?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, but only if you behave. Dessert is a surprise!" Mom said. + +Tim and Sam wondered what the surprise was. They hoped it was something sweet and yummy. + +Mom came back with a big cake. It had candles and frosting. It was a birthday cake! + +"Happy birthday, Tim and Sam!" Mom said. + +Tim and Sam were surprised and happy. They did not know it was their birthday. They blew out the candles and made a wish. + +"Thank you, Mom! This is the best dessert ever!" Tim said. + +"Yes, thank you, Mom! We love you!" Sam said. + +They hugged Mom and ate the cake. It was delicious. + +They had a wild and fun birthday. They were happy. +Sam did not like salad. He liked pizza and cake and ice cream. But Mom said he had to eat salad for dinner. She put a big bowl of green leaves and red tomatoes and orange carrots on the table. Sam made a face. + +"Sam, you have to eat some salad. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy," Mom said. + +"No, I don't want salad. I want pizza!" Sam said. He pushed the bowl away. + +Mom was angry. She said, "Sam, you are being rude. You have to eat what I make for you. If you don't eat salad, you can't have dessert." + +Sam did not care. He did not want salad. He wanted dessert. He saw a chocolate cake on the counter. He had a plan. He waited until Mom was not looking. Then he got up from his chair and ran to the counter. He reached for the cake. + +But Mom saw him. She said, "Sam, stop! That is not for you. That is for later. You have to eat salad first." + +Sam did not listen. He grabbed the cake. He tried to take a big bite. But he did not know that the cake was not real. It was a fake cake. Mom had made it for a joke. It was made of cardboard and paint. It did not taste good. It tasted bad. + +Sam spat out the cake. He was surprised. He was sad. He was angry. He cried. + +Mom said, "Sam, I told you. You have to eat salad first. That cake was not real. It was a trick. Maybe next time you will listen to me." + +Sam learned his lesson. He did not like salad. But he did not like fake cake either. He decided to eat some salad. He hoped that Mom would make a real cake for dessert. He did not want to resist anymore. +Lily likes to collect pretty things. She has a box full of shiny stones, colorful feathers, and sparkly beads. She likes to look at them and make necklaces and bracelets. She thinks they are attractive. + +One day, she finds a new thing in the park. It is small and round and has a hole in the middle. It is green and yellow and has a pattern like a flower. Lily thinks it is very attractive. She picks it up and puts it on her thumb. It fits perfectly. + +"Look, Mommy, look what I found!" she says, running to her mother. "It is a ring for my thumb!" + +Her mother smiles and bends down to see. "That is a very pretty ring, Lily. Where did you find it?" + +"I found it on the grass, Mommy. It was hiding under a leaf. Can I keep it, Mommy? Can I put it in my box?" + +Her mother nods and hugs her. "Of course you can, Lily. It is a very special ring. Do you know what it is?" + +Lily shakes her head. She does not know what it is. She only knows that it is attractive. + +"It is a button, Lily. A button from someone's coat or shirt. Maybe they lost it or dropped it. But now it is yours, and you can use it as a ring." + +Lily claps her hands and giggles. She likes buttons. She likes rings. She likes to collect pretty things. She is very happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build a big tower with the blocks. They are happy. + +But then, Ben comes. Ben is rough. He does not like to share. He wants to play with the blocks too. He pushes Tom and Mia. He takes some blocks from the tower. The tower falls down. It breaks. Tom and Mia are sad. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" Tom asks. "That was our tower. We worked hard to make it." + +"I don't care. I want the blocks. They are mine now." Ben says. He laughs. He is mean. + +Tom and Mia are angry. They do not like Ben. They do not want to play with him. They pick up the blocks. They go to another place. They build a new tower. They do not let Ben come near. They are friends. They are happy. +Sara and Tom were twins who lived in a small village. They liked to play games with each other and their friends. One day, they decided to play a game of match. They had a big box of cards with pictures of animals, fruits, and toys. They mixed up the cards and put them face down on the ground. + +"Let's see who can find the most pairs of cards that match," Sara said. + +"OK, I'll go first," Tom said. He picked up a card and turned it over. It had a picture of a red apple. He looked for another card with the same picture. He found one and smiled. "I have a match!" he said. + +"Good job, Tom. Now it's my turn," Sara said. She picked up a card and turned it over. It had a picture of a yellow duck. She looked for another card with the same picture. She found one and clapped. "I have a match too!" she said. + +They took turns picking up cards and looking for matches. They had fun and laughed a lot. They found matches of cats, dogs, bananas, cars, and more. They counted their matches and saw that they had the same number. + +"We are both good at this game," Tom said. + +"Yes, we are. We are a match too," Sara said. + +They hugged each other and put the cards back in the box. They felt dizzy from playing so much. They decided to rest for a while and then play another game. They loved each other and their village. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a toy gun that could shoot water. They had fun shooting water at the flowers, the bugs and each other. But they were lazy and did not help their moms with the chores. + +One day, they saw a big squash growing in the garden. It was orange and round and looked yummy. They wanted to eat it, but they did not ask their moms. They decided to shoot water at the squash to make it fall. They shot and shot and shot, but the squash did not fall. It only got wet and dirty. + +Then, their moms came out and saw what they were doing. They were angry and sad. They told Lily and Ben that they were naughty and wasteful. They said that the squash was not theirs to take. It belonged to Mr. Lee, the old man who lived next door. He had planted the squash and watered it every day. He was going to share it with them for Thanksgiving, but now it was ruined. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized that they had been selfish and mean. They apologized to their moms and to Mr. Lee. They promised to be more helpful and respectful. They learned that shooting water at things was not a good way to play. They learned that they should not take what was not theirs. They learned that they should be thankful for what they had. +Sam and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the sand near the sea. One day, they saw a big fish in the water. It had a long tail and sharp teeth. It was a shark! + +"Look, a shark!" Sam shouted. "Let's run away!" + +Ben thought it was funny to joke with Sam. He said, "No, it's not a shark. It's a dolphin. Dolphins are nice. They like to play with people. Let's go and say hello." + +Sam was scared, but he trusted Ben. He followed him to the water. The shark saw them and swam closer. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. + +"Help!" Sam cried. "It is a shark! Ben, you lied to me!" + +Ben realized he made a bad joke. He was sorry and scared too. He grabbed Sam's hand and ran back to the sand. The shark did not catch them, but it was very close. + +"Sam, I'm sorry. I was joking. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me." Ben said. + +Sam was angry and sad. He said, "Ben, you are not a good friend. You should not joke about dangerous things. You could have made us both shark food. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Ben felt ashamed and lonely. He learned his lesson. He said, "Sam, you are right. I was wrong. I will never joke like that again. Please be my friend again. I promise to be nice and honest." + +Sam looked at Ben. He saw that he was sincere and regretful. He decided to give him another chance. He said, "OK, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to be careful with your jokes. They can hurt people and animals. And you have to respect the sea and its creatures. They are not toys. They are living beings." + +Ben nodded and hugged Sam. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. I respect you and the sea. I will be more careful with my jokes. I will only joke about funny and harmless things. Like this: Why did the chicken cross the road?" + +Sam smiled and said, "Why?" + +Ben said, "To get to the other side!" + +Sam laughed and said, "That's a good joke, Ben. I like it. Let's play some more in the sand. But stay away from the water. The shark might still be there." + +Ben agreed and said, "OK, Sam. Let's play some more in the sand. But don't worry. The shark is not available. He has a dentist appointment." + +Sam laughed again and said, "That's another good joke, Ben. You are funny and smart. I'm glad we are friends again." + +The end. + +Moral value: Don't joke about dangerous things. They can hurt you and others. Be honest and respectful with your friends and the environment. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw some snow on the ground. It was cold and white and soft. + +"Let's make snowballs!" Ben said. He picked up some snow and squeezed it in his hand. He made a round ball. + +"Good idea!" Lily said. She did the same. She made a ball too. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They were ready to have fun. + +"Throw!" Ben shouted. He threw his snowball at Lily. It flew in the air and landed on her coat. + +"Hey!" Lily said. She laughed. She threw her snowball at Ben. It hit his hat. + +They threw more snowballs at each other. They dodged and ducked and giggled. They had a snowball fight. + +Soon they were tired and cold. They stopped throwing snowballs. They hugged each other. + +"That was fun!" Ben said. + +"Yes, it was!" Lily said. + +They saw a bench nearby. They walked to it. They sat down and snuggled. + +They felt a gentle breeze on their faces. They looked at the sky. It was blue and bright. + +They felt happy and warm. They were friends. +Sara loved to play with her tea set. She had a pink pot, four cups, and a big cake. She liked to pour water from the pot into the cups and pretend it was tea. She invited her teddy bear, her doll, and her bunny to have tea with her. She gave them each a slice of cake and a cup of tea. + +But Sara forgot to ask her mom if she could use the water. Her mom was busy in the kitchen, making dinner. She did not see Sara take the water from the sink. She did not know Sara was having a tea party in her room. + +Sara was having a lot of fun with her friends. She poured more and more water into the cups. She did not notice that some of the water spilled on the floor. She did not see that the floor was wet and slippery. + +Then, her mom called her for dinner. Sara jumped up and ran to the door. She wanted to show her mom her tea set. But as she ran, she slipped on the wet floor. She fell down and dropped the pot. The water splashed everywhere. The pot broke into pieces. Sara's friends fell off the table. The cake smashed on the floor. + +Sara started to cry. She was hurt and scared. She was also embarrassed. She knew she had made a big mess. She knew she had been naughty. She wished she had asked her mom for the water. She wished she had been more careful. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw Sara on the floor, surrounded by water, cake, and broken pot. She saw Sara's friends on the floor, too. She felt sorry for Sara. She hugged her and kissed her. She told her it was okay. She told her she was not angry. She told her she loved her. + +She helped Sara clean up the mess. She threw away the broken pot and the cake. She dried the floor and the friends. She put the cups back in the box. She took Sara to the bathroom and washed her face and hands. She gave her a band-aid for her knee. + +She told Sara that she was proud of her for playing nicely with her friends. She told her that she was sorry for her pot and her cake. She told her that she could have water for her tea set, but she had to ask first. She told her that she had to be careful not to spill the water. She told her that she had to watch where she was going. + +Sara nodded and said sorry. She said thank you. She said she loved her mom. She said she learned her lesson. She said she would be more careful next time. She said she still liked her tea set. She said she hoped her friends were not mad at her. + +Her mom smiled and said they were not mad. She said they were happy to have tea with her. She said they were waiting for her in her room. She said she had a surprise for her. She said she had a new cake for her tea party. She said it was chocolate. She said it was Sara's favorite. + +Sara's eyes lit up. She hugged her mom and said thank you. She said she was happy. She said she was hungry. She said she wanted to have tea with her mom and her friends. She said she wanted to share her cake. + +Her mom said yes. She said she wanted to have tea with Sara and her friends, too. She said she wanted to try her cake. She said she was proud of her. She said she was her sweet girl. + +They went to Sara's room. They sat on the floor. They took out the cups and the cake. They poured water from a new pot. They pretended it was tea. They had a lovely tea party. They laughed and talked and ate. They forgot about the mess and the spill and the fall. They had a good time. +Mia liked to observe butterflies in the garden. She had a book with pictures of different butterflies and their names. She wanted to find them all and learn more about them. She had a net and a jar to catch them, but she always let them go after looking at them. + +One day, she saw a big, blue butterfly on a flower. It was the most beautiful butterfly she had ever seen. She ran to get her net and jar, and tried to catch it. But the butterfly was fast and flew away. Mia chased it across the garden, but it always escaped. + +She did not see where she was going, and bumped into a vase. The vase fell and broke into pieces. Mia heard her mom shout from the house. + +"Mia, what did you do? Come here right now!" + +Mia felt guilty. She knew she had done something bad. She dropped her net and jar, and ran to her mom. She hoped her mom would not be too angry. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was trying to catch a butterfly. It was so pretty. I wanted to observe it. But it flew away, and I broke the vase. I didn't mean to. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mom looked at her with a stern face, but also a soft smile. She hugged her and said. + +"I'm not mad at you, Mia. I know you love butterflies. But you have to be careful and watch where you are going. The vase was very old and precious. It belonged to your grandma. She gave it to me before she went to heaven. It was very special to me." + +Mia felt more guilty. She did not know the vase was so important. She wished she could fix it. She said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. Can we glue it back together?" + +Her mom shook her head and said. + +"No, Mia. It's too broken. We can't fix it. But maybe we can do something else. Come with me." + +Her mom took her to the garden, where the broken pieces of the vase were. She picked up some of the pieces and said. + +"Look, Mia. The vase had a pattern of butterflies on it. See? They are still there. Maybe we can use them to make something new. Something to remember your grandma and your love of butterflies. What do you think?" + +Mia looked at the pieces and saw the butterflies. They were still pretty. She smiled and said. + +"I think that's a good idea, mom. Can we make a picture with them? Or a necklace? Or a bookmark?" + +Her mom smiled and said. + +"Sure, Mia. We can make anything you want. Let's go inside and get some glue and paper and scissors. And maybe we can find that blue butterfly again later. But this time, we'll just observe it, okay?" + +Mia nodded and said. + +"Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you." + +Her mom said. + +"I love you too, Mia. And I'm sure your grandma would love you too. And your butterflies." +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explorers. They used the sofa as a ship and the curtain as a sail. + +"Look, Tom, we are sailing to a new island!" Lily said, holding the curtain in her hand. + +"Wow, Lily, what do you think we will find there?" Tom asked, looking out of the window. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their cat, Fluffy, who had jumped on the curtain and pulled it down. The curtain fell on Lily and Tom and covered them. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Tom shouted. "We are trapped by the curtain!" + +Fluffy thought it was a game. He ran around the curtain and tried to catch the ends. He made the curtain move and shake. + +"Stop, Fluffy, stop!" Lily and Tom said. "You are crazy! You are ruining our adventure!" + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the curtain on the floor and Fluffy playing with it. She also saw Lily and Tom's feet sticking out of the curtain. + +"What is going on here?" she asked, lifting the curtain. + +"Mom, Fluffy attacked our sail and trapped us!" Lily explained. + +"Mom, Fluffy is crazy and spoiled our fun!" Tom added. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "I'm sorry, Fluffy was just curious. He didn't mean to hurt you. Why don't you help me fix the curtain and then we can have a snack?" + +Lily and Tom agreed. They helped mom put the curtain back on the rod. They also gave Fluffy a pat and a treat. They learned that sometimes things go wrong, but they can always fix them with some help and love. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She made pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She liked to use many colors and make her pictures bright and happy. + +One day, she found a new thing to draw with. It was a pen with black ink. She thought it looked fun and different. She took the pen and started to draw on a big sheet of paper. She made circles, lines, and squiggles. She liked how the ink made dark marks on the paper. + +But then, she saw that the ink also made marks on her hands, her clothes, and the table. She tried to wipe them off, but they did not go away. She started to worry. What if her mom saw the mess? What if she got angry? What if she took away her crayons? + +She ran to her room and hid under her bed. She hoped that her mom would not find her. She felt sad and scared. + +"Lily, where are you?" she heard her mom call. She did not answer. She heard her mom come closer and closer. She held her breath. + +"Lily, are you under the bed?" her mom asked. She lifted the blanket and saw Lily's face. She saw the ink on her hands, her clothes, and the table. She did not look angry. She looked surprised and amused. + +"Lily, what have you been doing?" she asked. + +"I was drawing with the pen," Lily said in a small voice. "But the ink made a mess. I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad at you. I know you like to draw and try new things. But next time, please ask me before you use the pen. The ink is hard to clean and it can stain. You can use your crayons or your washable markers instead. They are safer and easier to use." + +"Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I love you," Lily said. + +"I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go and clean up the mess together. And then, you can show me your drawings. I'm sure they are very beautiful and different," her mom said. + +Lily felt happy and relieved. She followed her mom and helped her wipe the ink. She showed her mom her pictures and explained what they were. Her mom praised her and said she was very creative and talented. Lily smiled and thanked her. She decided that she liked her crayons better than the pen. She put the pen away and never used it again. +Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, Sara wanted to teach Tom how to fly a kite. She had a new kite that was very expensive. Her mom gave it to her for her birthday. + +They went to the park and found a big hill. Sara showed Tom how to hold the string and run with the kite. The kite went up in the sky and made Sara happy. Tom wanted to try too. He asked Sara if he could hold the string. + +"OK, but be careful," Sara said. "This kite is very expensive. Don't let it go." + +Tom took the string and ran with the kite. He felt the wind pull the kite. He liked it. He wanted to make the kite go higher and higher. He did not see the dark clouds in the sky. He did not hear the thunder. + +Suddenly, a big storm came. The wind blew harder and harder. The kite snapped and flew away. Tom tried to catch it, but it was too fast. He saw the kite disappear in the rain. + +Sara was very angry and sad. She cried and yelled at Tom. + +"You are a bad friend! You lost my expensive kite! You did not listen to me! I will never play with you again!" + +Tom was very sorry and scared. He cried and said he was sorry. He wanted to find the kite and give it back to Sara. But he could not. The storm was too strong. He ran to his mom and hugged her. He wished he never tried to fly the kite. He wished he never made Sara mad. He wished he could be Sara's friend again. But he could not. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big gray sack on the grass. They ran to the sack and opened it. Inside, they found many toys and books. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Lily said. "Who left them here?" + +"I don't know, maybe someone forgot them," Ben said. "Can we play with them?" + +Lily nodded. She picked up a doll and a book. Ben took a car and a ball. They had fun with the toys and books. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. It was a man with a red hat and a blue coat. He was looking for his sack. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing with my sack?" he shouted. "That's mine, give it back!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the toys and books and ran away. They did not want to make the man angry. + +"Sorry, mister, we didn't know," Lily said. + +"Yeah, sorry, we just wanted to play," Ben said. + +The man picked up his sack and checked his things. He was not happy. He shook his head and walked away. + +Lily and Ben went back to their mom. They told her what happened. She hugged them and said: + +"It's not nice to take things that are not yours, even if they look fun. You should always ask first, or leave them alone. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their own toys and books instead. +Lily and Max were playing in the bath. They had many toys: a duck, a boat, a frog and a fish. They made big splashes and bubbles with the water. They were having fun. + +But then Max saw the shampoo bottle. He wanted to play with it. He reached for it, but Lily grabbed it first. She said, "No, Max, this is mine. You can't have it." + +Max was angry. He wanted the shampoo. He tried to take it from Lily, but she held it tight. They pulled and pulled, but neither of them let go. They started to yell and cry. + +Mom heard the noise. She came to the bathroom. She saw Lily and Max fighting over the shampoo. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You have to share. Shampoo is not a toy. It is for washing your hair." + +She took the shampoo from them and put it on the shelf. She gave them each a towel and helped them get out of the bath. She dried them and hugged them. She said, "I love you, Lily and Max. But you have to be nice to each other. Fighting is not good. Can you say sorry?" + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt bad. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Max." They gave each other a friendly slap on the back. They smiled and laughed. They were friends again. +Lily was feeling sick. She had a sore throat and a fever. She did not want to play or eat. Her mom said they had to go see the doctor. + +Lily was scared of the doctor. She did not like the white coat and the stethoscope. She did not like the needles and the medicine. She clung to her mom's hand as they walked into the clinic. + +"Hello, Lily," the doctor said with a smile. "I'm Dr. Lee. I'm here to help you feel better. Can I introduce you to my friend?" + +The doctor held up a stuffed bear with a red scarf. "This is Benny. He is very brave and kind. He likes to hug and listen. Do you want to hold him?" + +Lily nodded shyly. She took the bear from the doctor and hugged him. He was soft and warm. He made her feel more comfortable. + +"Good," the doctor said. "Now, let me check your ears and your throat. Benny will stay with you. It won't hurt, I promise." + +The doctor gently looked into Lily's ears and mouth. He used his stethoscope to listen to her heart and lungs. He gave her a sticker and a lollipop. He told her mom what to do to make Lily feel better. + +"Thank you, Dr. Lee," Lily said. "And thank you, Benny. You are very nice." + +"You're welcome, Lily," the doctor said. "You are very brave and sweet. I hope you get well soon. And you can keep Benny. He likes you very much." + +Lily smiled. She felt less sick and more happy. She waved goodbye to the doctor and left with her mom and her new friend. +Tom and Lily liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made noises like vroom and beep as they moved the cars on the floor. Sometimes they pretended to fix the cars like a mechanic. + +One day, Tom saw a big car in the garage. It was red and shiny, but it had a dent on the door. Tom wanted to play with the big car. He climbed inside and turned the wheel. He felt like a real driver. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Lily asked. She followed him to the garage and saw him in the big car. "That's not your car. That's Daddy's car. You can't play with it." + +"Yes, I can. It's a car. I like cars. I want to be a mechanic and fix the dent," Tom said. He reached for a tool on the shelf. It was dirty and heavy. + +"No, you can't. That's a dangerous tool. You can hurt yourself or the car. Daddy will be angry if you touch his car. His car doesn't belong to you. It belongs to him. Come on, let's go back to our cars. They belong to us," Lily said. She tried to pull Tom out of the car. + +Tom didn't want to listen. He wanted to stay in the big car. He pushed Lily away and held the tool. He hit the door with the tool. He made a loud noise and a big scratch. + +"Tom, stop it! You're ruining the car!" Lily shouted. She was scared and sad. + +Just then, Daddy came home. He heard the noise and saw the scratch. He was very angry and shocked. He took the tool from Tom and lifted him out of the car. He scolded Tom and told him to go to his room. He hugged Lily and told her he was sorry. + +Tom felt bad. He knew he did something wrong. He wished he listened to Lily. He wished he played with his own cars. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that some things don't belong to him. He learned that he should respect other people's things. He learned that he should be careful with tools. He learned that he should be a good brother to Lily. He learned that he should say sorry to Daddy. He hoped Daddy would forgive him. He hoped Lily would still play with him. He hoped he could be a good mechanic someday. But not with Daddy's car. +Mia and Ben were friends. They liked to play at the pond. They saw many animals there. One day, they saw a new animal. It was an otter. The otter was brown and furry. It had a long tail and a bright nose. + +"Hello, otter!" Mia said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The otter looked at Mia and Ben. It nodded and smiled. It swam to them. It was very fast and graceful. Mia and Ben laughed. They threw sticks and stones in the water. The otter chased them and brought them back. + +The otter was fun and friendly. Mia and Ben liked the otter. They played with it for a long time. They gave it a name. They called it Ollie. + +"Ollie, you are our new friend," Ben said. "We will come back tomorrow and play with you again." + +Ollie nodded and smiled. It was happy. It liked Mia and Ben. It wanted to see them again. + +But the next day, Mia and Ben did not come. They were sick. They had a fever and a cough. They had to stay in bed. They could not go to the pond. They missed Ollie. + +Ollie waited for Mia and Ben. It swam to the edge of the pond. It looked for them. It did not see them. It was sad. It wondered where they were. It hoped they were okay. + +The next day, Mia and Ben did not come either. They were still sick. They had to take medicine and drink soup. They could not go to the pond. They missed Ollie more. + +Ollie waited for Mia and Ben. It swam to the edge of the pond. It looked for them. It did not see them. It was lonely. It wanted to play with them. It wished they would come. + +The next day, Mia and Ben felt better. They were not sick anymore. They could go to the pond. They were happy. They wanted to see Ollie again. + +They ran to the pond. They looked for Ollie. They did not see Ollie. They were sad. They wondered where Ollie was. They called Ollie's name. + +"Ollie, Ollie, where are you?" Mia said. + +"Ollie, Ollie, we are here!" Ben said. + +They heard a splash. They saw a brown and furry head. It was Ollie. Ollie heard Mia and Ben. Ollie saw Mia and Ben. Ollie was happy. Ollie swam to Mia and Ben. + +"Ollie, Ollie, we missed you!" Mia said. + +"Ollie, Ollie, we are sorry!" Ben said. + +They hugged Ollie. Ollie hugged them back. Ollie's nose was bright. Mia and Ben's eyes were bright. They were happy. They played with Ollie again. They were friends. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play together. One day, they decided to decorate their snowman with hats, scarves, and buttons. They worked hard and had fun, making their snowman look nice and cozy. + +"Look, our snowman is so pretty!" Lily said, smiling. + +"Yes, he is! But he looks a bit sad. Maybe he needs a friend," Sam said, looking around. + +They saw a lady doing yoga on a mat in her yard. She was bending and stretching in different ways. She looked happy and calm. + +"Maybe we can make a snow-lady for our snowman. She can do yoga with him and make him happy," Lily suggested. + +"That's a good idea! Let's go ask the lady if we can borrow some of her things," Sam agreed. + +They ran over to the lady and said hello. They told her about their plan and asked her if they could use some of her things to make a snow-lady. + +The lady smiled and said yes. She gave them a yoga mat, a headband, and some earrings. She also taught them some yoga poses that they could make with the snow. + +Lily and Sam thanked the lady and went back to their snowman. They rolled another big ball of snow and put it on top of the yoga mat. They gave the snow-lady a headband, earrings, and a smile. They also made her arms and legs bend and stretch like the lady. + +They stood back and admired their work. The snow-lady looked beautiful and happy. The snowman looked happier too. He seemed to like his new friend. + +Lily and Sam felt proud and happy. They had learned something new and made someone else happy. They hugged each other and said, "We are good friends. We like to share and help. We like to decorate and do yoga. We like to have fun, even when it's icy." +Tom is a clever cat. He likes to play with his toys and catch mice. He lives with a nice lady who gives him food and milk. But sometimes, Tom wants to see what is outside. + +One day, Tom sees a big hole in the window. He thinks it is a good chance to leave the house and have some fun. He jumps through the hole and lands on the grass. He feels the sun on his fur and the wind in his ears. He is happy. + +Tom runs around the garden and chases a butterfly. He climbs a tree and sees a bird. He tries to catch the bird, but it flies away. He hears a sound from the fence. It is another cat. The cat is black and white and has a bell on his neck. He looks at Tom and says, "Who are you?" + +Tom says, "I am Tom. I live in this house. Who are you?" + +The cat says, "I am Max. I live in the next house. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom says, "Yes, I do. What do you like to play?" + +Max says, "I like to play hide and seek. You count to ten and I hide. Then you find me." + +Tom says, "OK, let's play. One, two, three..." + +Max runs away and hides behind a bush. Tom counts to ten and looks for Max. He smells his scent and follows it. He finds Max behind the bush and says, "I found you!" + +Max says, "You are clever, Tom. You are good at finding. Now it is my turn to count and your turn to hide." + +Tom says, "OK, let's play again. But hurry, I have to go back soon. The nice lady will miss me." + +Max says, "OK, OK. One, two, three..." +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a navy ball that they threw to each other. One day, they saw a big slide that looked fun. They wanted to try it, but they had to leave their ball on the grass. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "The slide is so high and fast!" + +"OK, Tom, but we have to come back for our ball," Lily said. "It is our favorite ball." + +They ran to the slide and waited in line. They took turns to slide down and laughed. They felt restless and wanted to slide more and more. + +But while they were sliding, a mean boy saw their ball. He liked the color and wanted to have it. He looked around and saw no one. He grabbed the ball and ran away. He did not care that it was not his. + +When Lily and Tom finished sliding, they went back to the grass. But they could not find their ball. They looked everywhere, but it was gone. It had vanished. + +"Where is our ball?" Lily cried. "We left it right here!" + +"Maybe someone took it," Tom said. "That is not fair!" + +They felt sad and angry. They had lost their favorite ball. They wished they had not left it alone. They learned a hard lesson: they should always watch their things and not trust strangers. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make a big palace with blocks. The palace is colorful. It has red, blue, yellow and green blocks. + +"Look at our palace!" Anna says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "We are the king and the queen of the palace!" + +They put crowns on their heads. They hold hands and walk around the palace. They feel happy. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is black and furry. The dog likes to play too. The dog runs to the palace. The dog knocks down the blocks. The palace falls down. + +"Oh no!" Anna and Ben say. "Our palace is gone!" + +They feel sad. They cry. + +The dog feels sorry. The dog licks their faces. The dog wags its tail. + +"Sorry, sorry!" the dog says. "I did not mean to break your palace. I just wanted to play with you." + +Anna and Ben stop crying. They look at the dog. The dog looks cute. + +"It's okay, dog," Anna says. "We forgive you. You can play with us." + +"Really?" the dog says. "Thank you! You are nice!" + +They hug the dog. They smile. + +They pick up the blocks. They make a new palace. The new palace is bigger and more colorful. They make a room for the dog. The dog is happy. + +They play together. They are friends. They have fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big yellow dish that they filled with different things. They put in some bread, some cheese, some apples, some carrots and some juice. They stirred and stirred with a big spoon. + +"Look, Lily, we made a soup!" Tom said proudly. + +"That's not a soup, Tom, that's a mess!" Lily said. She did not like the smell of the yellow dish. She wanted to make a cake instead. She grabbed the dish and tried to take it away from Tom. + +"Hey, give it back, Lily, that's mine!" Tom said. He pulled the dish from Lily. They both tugged and tugged on the dish. + +"Stop, stop, you two!" Mom said. She came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She was not happy. She took the dish from Tom and Lily and put it in the sink. "You need to share and be nice to each other. And you need to clean up this kitchen. No more playing with food, okay?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for making Mom angry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They helped Mom clean up the kitchen. Then they asked Mom if they could help her make a real cake. Mom smiled and said yes. She gave them each a small bowl and a spoon. They mixed some flour, some sugar, some eggs and some butter. They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. They waited and waited until the cake was done. They took it out and decorated it with some frosting and some sprinkles. They cut a big slice for Mom and a small slice for each of them. They ate the cake and it was delicious. They thanked Mom for letting them help. They were happy and Mom was happy too. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a large cooler under a tree. They ran to the cooler and opened it. Inside, they found many yummy things to eat and drink. + +"Wow, look at all this!" Sara said. "We can have a part with this cooler!" + +"Yay, let's have a part!" Ben said. "I want a juice and a cookie!" + +They took out some juice and cookies and sat on the grass. They ate and drank and laughed. They did not see the man who owned the cooler. He was sleeping on a bench nearby. + +The man woke up and saw Sara and Ben. He was very angry. He ran to the cooler and shouted at them. + +"Hey, you little thieves! That's my cooler! You can't have a part with my cooler! Give me back my things!" + +He grabbed the cooler and the juice and the cookies. He pushed Sara and Ben away. He called them bad names. He walked away with the cooler. + +Sara and Ben were scared and sad. They cried and hugged each other. They had no more things to eat and drink. They had no more part. They wished they had not opened the cooler. They wished they had played with something else. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Sara and Ben like to play with cubes. They have many cubes of different colors and sizes. They can build towers, houses, trains and more with their cubes. Sometimes they also like to knock down their cubes and make a loud noise. + +One day, they are playing with their cubes in the living room. They make a big tower with all their cubes. They are very proud of their tower. They want to show it to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, look at our tower!" Sara calls. + +Mom comes from the kitchen. She smiles and says, "Wow, what a great tower! You are very clever, Sara and Ben." + +She walks closer to see their tower. But she does not see the cube on the floor. It is a small cube and it is the same color as the carpet. She steps on the cube and slips. She falls down and hurts her knee. + +"Ouch!" Mom cries. + +Sara and Ben are fearful. They run to their mom and hug her. They are sorry for their cube on the floor. + +"Mom, are you okay?" Ben asks. + +Mom rubs her knee and says, "I'm okay, sweeties. It was just an accident. But we have to be careful with our cubes. We don't want anyone to slip and get hurt, right?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Right, mom. We are sorry. We will pick up our cubes and put them away." + +They help their mom get up and give her a kiss. Then they pick up their cubes and put them in a box. They are still proud of their tower, but they are more careful with their cubes. They love their mom and they don't want her to slip again. +Ben was a stubborn baby. He did not like to sleep in his crib. He wanted to sleep with Mom and Dad. Every night, he cried and kicked his crib. He tried to climb out of his crib. But the crib was too high and he could not reach the floor. + +One night, Ben had a plan. He saw a big toy truck in his room. He pushed the truck to his crib. He stood on the truck and grabbed the crib rail. He pulled hard and tried to break the rail. He wanted to make a hole in his crib. Then he could crawl out and go to Mom and Dad. + +But Ben's plan did not work. The rail did not break. Instead, the truck slipped and Ben fell. He hit his head on the floor. He cried very loud. Mom and Dad heard him and ran to his room. They saw Ben on the floor and the truck by his crib. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Mom asked. She picked him up and hugged him. She checked his head for bumps. + +"I wanted to break my crib," Ben said. He rubbed his head and sniffed. + +"Why did you want to break your crib?" Dad asked. He moved the truck away from the crib. + +"I don't like my crib. I want to sleep with you," Ben said. He looked at Mom and Dad with big eyes. + +Mom and Dad smiled. They understood how Ben felt. They loved him very much. But they also knew that Ben needed to sleep in his crib. It was safer and more comfortable for him. + +"Ben, we know you want to sleep with us. But your crib is your bed. It is where you can rest and dream. You can't break your crib. It is not nice and it is dangerous. You could hurt yourself or your crib. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Ben nodded. He understood. He was sorry for trying to break his crib. He said sorry to Mom and Dad. + +"It's okay, Ben. We forgive you. But you have to promise us that you won't try to break your crib again. Can you do that?" Dad said. + +Ben nodded again. He promised. He gave Mom and Dad a kiss and a hug. They tucked him in his crib and gave him his teddy bear. They sang him a lullaby and kissed him good night. They turned off the light and left the room. + +Ben felt sleepy. He cuddled his teddy bear and closed his eyes. He did not cry or kick his crib. He did not try to break his crib. He slept in his crib. He was a good baby. +Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with leaves, flowers and dirt. They had a big pot and a wooden spoon. + +"Look, I found a lime!" Lily said, holding a green fruit. "It smells good. Can we use it for our soup?" + +"Yes, let's cut it and squeeze it," Sam said. He took a knife from the toy box and sliced the lime in half. He gave one half to Lily and kept the other. + +They squeezed the lime juice into the pot and stirred it with the spoon. They tasted it and made faces. + +"Yuck, it's sour!" Sam said, spitting out the juice. + +"I don't like it either," Lily said, wiping her mouth. "It hurts my tongue." + +They threw the lime halves into the trash and looked for something else to add to their soup. + +"Maybe we need some sugar," Sam said. "Or some honey. Or some chocolate." + +"Or some ice cream," Lily said. "Ice cream is sweet and cold and yummy." + +They ran to the kitchen and asked their mom for some ice cream. + +"Sorry, kids, no ice cream today," their mom said. "You have to eat your lunch first. And what are you doing with that lime? It's not a toy, you know." + +"We were making soup," Sam said. + +"With lime?" their mom asked. + +"Yes, but it was bad," Lily said. + +Their mom laughed and shook her head. "Well, I'm glad you stopped. Lime is not good for soup. It's better for drinks or salads or pies. Maybe next time you can try something else." + +She gave them each a sandwich and a glass of milk and told them to eat. Then she took the pot and the spoon and washed them. + +Sam and Lily ate their lunch and drank their milk. They felt better and smiled at each other. + +"We are successful chefs," Sam said. + +"Yes, we are," Lily said. "But next time, no lime." +Lily was playing with her doll in the garden. She liked her doll very much. It had a pink dress and long hair. She pretended the doll was her baby and she was the mother. + +"Hello, baby," she said. "Do you want some tea?" She poured some water from a cup into a saucer and gave it to the doll. + +"Thank you, mother," she said in a high voice. + +She was having fun until she saw Ben, her brother, coming out of the house. He had a big truck in his hands. It was red and shiny and made loud noises. He pushed it along the path and smiled. + +"Look at my truck!" he said. "It is new and fast and strong. It can go anywhere!" + +Lily felt envious. She wanted a truck like that. She thought it was better than her doll. She left her doll on the grass and ran to Ben. + +"Can I play with your truck?" she asked. + +"No, you can't," he said. "It is mine and you are too little. You have your doll. Go away!" + +He pushed her away and kept playing with his truck. Lily felt angry and sad. She wanted to cry. She looked for her mother. She wanted her to help her. + +She found her mother in the kitchen. She was making a cake. She smelled sweet and warm. + +"Mother, mother," Lily said. "Ben has a new truck and he won't let me play with it. He said I am too little and I have my doll. But I want his truck. It is better than my doll." + +Her mother hugged her and kissed her. She looked at her with kind eyes. + +"Lily, Lily," she said. "You don't need his truck. You have your doll and she loves you. She is your baby and you are her mother. You can play with her and have fun. Ben's truck is not better than your doll. It is just different. And you are not too little. You are big and smart and beautiful. Don't be envious of Ben. He is your brother and he loves you too. Maybe he will share his truck with you later. But now, why don't you help me with the cake? You can stir the batter and put some sprinkles on top. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled. She felt better. She loved her mother and her doll and her brother. She did not want his truck anymore. She wanted to help her mother with the cake. She took a spoon and stirred the batter. She put some sprinkles on top. She felt happy. She said: + +"Thank you, mother. You are the best." +Lily and Mia are best friends. They like to play dress-up with their dolls and clothes. One day, they find a pretty skirt in Lily's closet. It is pink and has flowers on it. + +"Can I wear it?" Mia asks. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. It is my favorite skirt," Lily says. + +Mia puts on the skirt and twirls around. She feels like a princess. She does not want to take it off. + +"Lily, can I keep it? Please?" Mia begs. + +"No, Mia. It is mine. You have to give it back," Lily says. + +They start to argue. They pull on the skirt. They make loud noises. They do not share. + +Lily's mom hears them. She comes to the room. She sees them fighting. + +"What is going on here?" she asks. + +"Lily won't let me have her skirt. It is not fair," Mia says. + +"Mia won't give me back my skirt. She is being mean," Lily says. + +Lily's mom sighs. She is tired of their fighting. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you both take off the skirt and trade something else? Maybe you can find something you both like," she says. + +Lily and Mia think about it. They realize they are being silly. They do not want to lose their friendship over a skirt. They say sorry to each other. They hug. + +They take off the skirt and look for other clothes. They find a hat and a scarf. They trade them and try them on. They laugh and smile. They are happy again. They play dress-up with their dolls and clothes. They are best friends. +Mia and Leo were playing in the backyard. They had a big box that they used as a house. They liked to imagine that they were different animals living in the box. + +"Let's be rats today," Mia said. "We can find food and hide from the cat." + +"OK," Leo agreed. "But we have to be careful. The cat is very fast and mean." + +They crawled into the box and pretended to be rats. They made squeaky noises and nibbled on some crackers. They had fun being rats. + +But then they heard a loud meow. The cat had found them. He jumped on the box and tried to scratch it open. + +"Help!" Mia and Leo shouted. "The cat is here!" + +They ran out of the box and into the house. They slammed the door behind them. The cat could not get in. + +They were safe, but they were also sad. They had left their box and their crackers outside. + +"Maybe we can get them back later," Mia said. + +"Maybe," Leo said. "But I don't want to be a rat anymore. It's too scary." + +"Me neither," Mia said. "Let's be something else. Something that the cat can't catch." + +"Like what?" Leo asked. + +"Like birds," Mia said. "We can fly and sing and see everything." + +"OK," Leo said. "Let's be birds. But we need wings." + +They looked around the house and found some old clothes and some paper. They cut and taped them together to make wings. They put them on and flapped them. + +"Now we are birds," Mia said. "We can imagine that we are in the sky." + +They ran around the house and made chirping noises. They had fun being birds. + +But then they heard a loud knock. Their mom had come home. She opened the door and saw them. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You made a mess. And you spoiled your clothes." + +"Sorry, mom," Mia and Leo said. "We were just playing. We were rats and then we were birds." + +"Rats and birds?" their mom said. "That's very creative. But you have to clean up. And you have to wear your good clothes. We are going to grandma's house." + +"OK, mom," Mia and Leo said. "But can we still imagine?" + +"Of course you can," their mom said. "But only in your heads. And only when it's appropriate." + +Mia and Leo nodded. They cleaned up their mess and changed their clothes. They were ready to go to grandma's house. + +But they still imagined. They imagined that they were rats and birds and many other things. They imagined that they had adventures and fun. They imagined that they were happy. And they were. +Tom and Lily were playing with their snowman in the garden. They had made him with a big ball of snow for his body, a smaller ball for his head, a carrot for his nose, and two buttons for his eyes. They gave him a hat and a scarf to keep him warm. + +"Look at our snowman, he is so nice and happy!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is the best snowman ever!" Tom agreed. + +But then they heard a squeak and saw a rat running towards their snowman. The rat was hungry and wanted to eat the carrot nose. + +"Go away, rat! That is our snowman's nose, not your food!" Tom shouted. + +But the rat did not listen. He jumped on the snowman's head and bit the carrot nose. The snowman's head wobbled and fell off. + +"Hey, stop that, rat! You are ruining our snowman!" Lily cried. + +But the rat did not care. He ate the carrot nose and then went for the buttons. He pulled them off with his teeth and ran away with them. + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They tried to fix their snowman, but it was too late. The sun was shining and the snow was melting. Their snowman was getting smaller and smaller. + +"Bye bye, snowman, we will miss you!" Lily said. + +"Maybe we can make another one tomorrow, if there is more snow available," Tom said. + +But there was no more snow available. The next day, the garden was green and dry. There was no sign of their snowman, only a puddle of water and a hat and a scarf. + +The rat had taken their snowman's nose and eyes, and the sun had taken his body. Tom and Lily had nothing left of their snowman. They were very unhappy. They wished they had never seen that rat. +Lily and Lila are twins. They look the same, but they like different things. Lily likes pink and Lila likes blue. Lily likes dolls and Lila likes cars. Lily likes cake and Lila likes fruit. + +One day, Mommy takes them to the park. She says they can choose one thing to play with. Lily runs to the swings. She likes to go high and feel the wind. Lila runs to the slide. She likes to go fast and feel the thrill. + +They play for a while, then they see a small dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar and a tag. The tag says "Rex". Rex is friendly and wagging his tail. He wants to play with the twins. + +Lily and Lila both love dogs. They want to pet Rex and play with him. But they only have one hand each. They need the other hand to hold on to the swing or the slide. They look at each other. They have to choose. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She loves the swing, but she loves Rex more. She lets go of the swing and runs to Rex. She pets his head and rubs his belly. Rex licks her face and makes her giggle. + +Lila thinks for a moment. She loves the slide, but she loves Rex more. She lets go of the slide and runs to Rex. She pets his ears and throws his ball. Rex chases the ball and brings it back to her. + +Lily and Lila are happy. They chose Rex. Rex is happy. He chose the twins. Mommy is happy. She chose to take them to the park. They all have fun together. The end. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the garden, where there were many flowers and trees. One day, they saw a big vine that grew on the wall. It had green leaves and purple berries. + +"Look, Ben, a vine!" Lily said. "Can we climb it?" + +Ben nodded. "Yes, let's climb it. But we have to be careful. The vine is old and may break." + +They held hands and walked to the vine. They looked for a strong part to grab. They started to climb, slowly and gently. They felt happy and excited. + +"Wow, we are so high!" Lily said. "We can see the whole garden from here!" + +Ben smiled. "Yes, it's beautiful. And look, there are more berries on the top. Do you want some?" + +Lily nodded. "Yes, please. But we have to share. Promise?" + +Ben held out his pinky finger. "Promise. Pinky promise." + +They hooked their pinky fingers and smiled. They reached for the berries and ate them. They were sweet and juicy. They felt like they were in a fairy tale. + +They climbed down the vine and hugged each other. They thanked the vine for the fun and the berries. They ran back to the house, where their mums were waiting for them. They told them about their adventure and showed them their purple mouths. Their mums laughed and hugged them. They were proud of their brave and kind children. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the woods behind their house. They have a big wagon that they can load with things they find. One day, they see a big pile of wood by a tree. They think it is good wood for their wagon. + +"Look, Ben, wood!" Sam says. He runs to the pile and picks up a piece. He puts it in the wagon. + +"Good, Sam, good!" Ben says. He follows Sam and picks up another piece. He puts it in the wagon too. + +They keep loading the wagon with wood until it is full. They are happy. They want to take the wood to their house and make a fort. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is a man with an axe. He is chopping the tree. He is angry. He sees Ben and Sam with his wood. + +"Hey, you kids, stop!" he yells. "That is my wood! Give it back!" + +Ben and Sam are scared. They do not want to give back the wood. They worked hard to load it. They want to make a fort. + +"Run, Sam, run!" Ben says. He grabs the handle of the wagon and pulls it. Sam runs after him. + +They run as fast as they can. The man with the axe chases them. He is big and mean. He wants his wood. + +But Ben and Sam are smart and brave. They know the woods well. They find a path that leads to their house. They follow the path and leave the man behind. + +They reach their house and tell their mom what happened. She hugs them and says they are good boys. She says they can keep the wood and make a fort. She says she will talk to the man and make him go away. + +Ben and Sam are happy. They thank their mom and go to the backyard. They unload the wood and start to make a fort. They have fun. They are good brothers. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They see a big jar of sauce on the shelf. The sauce is red and smells good. + +"Let's make pizza!" Lily says. She takes the jar and climbs on a chair. Ben follows her. They open the jar and pour sauce on a plate. + +They see cheese, ham, and olives in the fridge. They take them and put them on the sauce. They smile. They have made a pizza. + +But they forget to close the fridge. The fridge is cold and makes a noise. They do not hear it. + +They see a fat cat on the window. The cat is hungry and smells the pizza. The cat jumps on the table and runs to the plate. Lily and Ben scream. + +"Go away, cat!" Ben says. He throws a spoon at the cat. The cat dodges the spoon and knocks over the jar. The sauce spills on the floor. + +Lily and Ben cry. They have made a mess. They hear their mom coming. They are in trouble. +Ben and Lily liked to play with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower with all the blocks they had. They took turns to put one block on top of another. They were careful not to make the tower fall. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Ben said. + +"Yes, it is!" Lily agreed. "But we still have more blocks. Let's make it higher!" + +They added more blocks to the tower. It was taller than them. They were proud of their work. + +But then, their dog Spot came into the room. Spot was curious and playful. He saw the tower and wanted to join the fun. He ran towards the tower and barked. + +"Spot, no!" Ben and Lily shouted. "Don't touch our tower!" + +But Spot did not listen. He was persistent. He jumped and nudged the tower with his nose. The tower wobbled and shook. Some blocks fell to the floor. + +"Spot, stop!" Ben and Lily cried. "You are ruining our tower!" + +But Spot did not stop. He was having too much fun. He jumped and nudged the tower again. The tower wobbled and shook more. More blocks fell to the floor. + +"Spot, please!" Ben and Lily begged. "We worked hard on our tower!" + +But Spot did not care. He jumped and nudged the tower one more time. The tower could not stand anymore. It collapsed and crashed to the floor. All the blocks were scattered. Ben and Lily were sad and angry. + +"Spot, bad dog!" Ben and Lily scolded. "You broke our tower!" + +Spot looked at them with his big eyes. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He thought they were playing with him. He did not understand why they were upset. + +Ben and Lily sighed. They loved Spot, but they did not like what he did. They decided to settle their feelings and forgive him. They hugged him and said, "Spot, we love you, but you have to be careful. Next time, don't touch our tower, okay?" + +Spot barked and nodded. He was sorry and happy. He wanted to be a good dog. He helped them pick up the blocks and put them back in the box. Then, they all went outside to play fetch. They had a new game and a new fun. +Tom and Ann liked to play in the big house. The big house had many rooms and many furniture. Some furniture was old and some was new. Tom and Ann liked to jump on the furniture and make noise. + +One day, their mom said, "Do not play in the big house today. The big house is not safe. Some furniture is dead and can fall on you. Stay in the small house and play with your toys." + +But Tom and Ann did not listen to their mom. They said, "We want to play in the big house. The big house is more fun. The furniture is not dead. It is just old." + +So they ran to the big house when their mom was not looking. They jumped on the furniture and made noise. They did not see the sign that said, "Do not permit. Danger." + +Then they heard a loud crack. The furniture they were jumping on was dead. It broke and fell on them. They screamed and cried. They were hurt and scared. + +Their mom heard them and ran to the big house. She saw the furniture on them and was very sad. She said, "Why did you not listen to me? I told you not to play in the big house. The big house is not safe. The furniture is dead and can fall on you. Now you are hurt and I am sad." + +Tom and Ann said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not listen to you. We were bad. We will not play in the big house again." + +Their mom said, "I hope you learned your lesson. You should always listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. She loves you and wants you to be safe." + +The end. + +Moral value: Listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. She loves you and wants you to be safe. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big jug of water and some cups. They wanted to make tea for their toys. + +"Here you go, teddy. Some nice tea for you," Lily said, pouring some water into a cup. "And some for you, bunny. And some for you, dolly." + +Tom watched Lily and frowned. He wanted to pour some water too, but Lily had the jug. He tried to grab the jug from Lily, but she held it tight. + +"No, Tom! It's my turn! You had the jug before!" Lily said, pulling the jug away from Tom. + +Tom got angry and pushed Lily. Lily fell down and spilled the water. The jug broke into pieces. Lily and Tom both started to cry. + +Mama heard the noise and came to the garden. She saw Lily and Tom crying and the broken jug. She was not happy. + +"What happened here?" Mama asked, looking at the mess. + +"Lily and Tom were playing with the jug and they fought over it and it broke," a voice said. It was Sam, Lily and Tom's big brother. He had seen everything from the window. + +Mama sighed and picked up Lily and Tom. She hugged them and wiped their tears. + +"I'm sorry, Mama," Lily and Tom said. + +"It's okay, my loves. But you have to learn to share and be nice to each other. Fighting is not good. It makes you and others sad. And it can break things," Mama said. + +She took them inside and gave them some cookies and milk. She also gave them a new jug and some cups. They were plastic and colorful. + +"Look, Lily and Tom. A new jug and cups for you. You can play with them again, but this time, you have to take turns and say please and thank you. And be careful not to spill the water, okay?" Mama said. + +Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They were happy again. + +"Thank you, Mama. You are the best. We are lucky to have you," Lily and Tom said. + +Mama smiled and kissed them. She was glad they made up. + +"You are welcome, my loves. And I am lucky to have you too," Mama said. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they see a big cloud in the sky. It is dark and scary. It makes a loud noise. + +"Look, Tom, look!" Sue says. "What is that?" + +Tom looks at the cloud. He sees a long tail coming out of it. It is spinning very fast. It is a tornado. + +"I don't know, Sue," Tom says. "But it is coming this way. We have to go inside." + +But Sue does not want to go inside. She likes to play with her toys. She has a new doll. It is modern. It can talk and sing. + +"No, Tom, no," Sue says. "I want to play with my doll. She is fun. She is my friend." + +Sue ignores Tom. She ignores the tornado. She holds her doll and makes her talk and sing. + +"Hello, Sue," the doll says. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, yes," Sue says. "You are the best doll ever." + +Tom is scared. He does not want to play with his toys. He wants to be safe. He runs to the house. He knocks on the door. He calls for his mom. + +"Mom, mom," Tom says. "There is a tornado. We have to hide." + +Tom's mom opens the door. She sees the tornado. She is shocked. She grabs Tom and pulls him inside. + +"Where is Sue?" she asks. "Is she with you?" + +Tom shakes his head. He points to the garden. He sees Sue and her doll. They are still playing. They are not hiding. + +"Sue, Sue," Tom yells. "Come inside. The tornado is coming. It is dangerous." + +But Sue does not hear him. She does not see the tornado. She only sees her doll. She only hears her doll. + +"Sing with me, Sue," the doll says. "We are happy. We are friends." + +Sue sings with her doll. She smiles. She does not know what is going to happen. +Sara likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls and they are all her friends. She gives them names and dresses and hugs. Sara is popular at school. Many kids want to play with her and her dolls. + +One day, Sara comes home from school and smells something bad.

Sara and her parents go inside. They see many things are burned and broken. They see ash and dust and smoke. Sara feels sad and angry. She looks for her dolls. + +She finds some of her dolls. They are dirty and melted and torn. They are not pretty and happy anymore. Sara feels like crying. She hugs her dolls and says sorry. She thinks no one will want to play with her and her dolls anymore. She thinks she is not popular anymore. + +Her mom sees her and comes to her. She hugs her and tells her she loves her.

They see a big log on the ground. Anna wants to walk on the log. She thinks it is fun. + +"Look, Ben, I can balance on the log!" Anna says. She puts one foot on the log and then the other. She holds her arms out to keep steady. + +Ben watches Anna. He thinks she is brave and strong. He wants to try too. He goes to the log and puts one foot on it. But the log is wobbly and he feels scared. + +"Anna, help me!" Ben says. He tries to grab Anna's hand, but he loses his balance and falls off the log. He lands on the grass and hurts his knee. + +Anna jumps off the log and runs to Ben. She sees his knee is red and wet. She feels sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Anna asks. She hugs him and wipes his tears. + +Ben nods. He is still sad, but he is glad Anna is with him. He looks at the log and sighs. + +"I can't balance on the log like you, Anna. You have better sight and you are stronger than me," Ben says. + +Anna smiles and shakes her head. + +"No, Ben, you are strong too. You just need to practice more. And you have good sight too. You can see many things that I can't. Like the birds and the flowers and the clouds," Anna says. + +She points to the sky and shows Ben a cloud that looks like a bunny. Ben smiles and sees it too. He forgets his pain and feels happy. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. Can we play something else now?" Ben asks. + +Anna nods and takes his hand. + +"Sure, Ben. Let's go to the swings. They are fun and easy. And we can balance on them together," Anna says. + +They run to the swings and laugh and play. They are happy and they are friends. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a furry cat under a tree. The cat is hungry and cold. + +"Look, a cat!" Lila says. "Can we feed it?" + +"Yes, let's feed it," Tom says. "I have some bread in my bag." + +They break the bread into small pieces and put them on the ground. The cat comes closer and eats the bread. It purrs and rubs its head on Lila's leg. + +"Can we pet it?" Lila asks. + +"Be careful, it might scratch you," Tom says. + +Lila takes off her glove and reaches out her hand. The cat sniffs her hand and licks it. Lila smiles and strokes the cat's fur. + +"It likes me," Lila says. "Can we keep it?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe we should ask our moms." + +They decide to take the cat home and show it to their moms. They wrap the cat in Lila's scarf and put it in Tom's bag. They hope their moms will let them keep the cat. They think the cat is very cute and furry. They want to give it a name and a home. +Lily and Max were having lunch with their mom. Mom made some pasta with sauce and cheese. She also put some olives on a plate for them to try. + +"Olives are good for you," Mom said. "They have healthy oil and vitamins. Do you want to taste one?" + +Lily was curious. She picked up a black olive and bit into it. She liked the salty and soft flavor. She smiled and said, "Yum, I like olives, Mom. Can I have more?" + +Max was not so sure. He looked at the green olives and thought they looked weird. He wrinkled his nose and said, "No, thank you, Mom. I don't want olives. They are yucky." + +Mom said, "Don't say that, Max. You should try new things. You might like them. Here, have a green olive. They are a little spicy, but not too much." + +Max did not want to make Mom sad. He took a green olive and put it in his mouth. But as soon as he tasted it, he felt a burning sensation on his tongue. He did not like the spicy and bitter flavor. He spit out the olive and yelled, "Ow, ow, ow! Mom, this olive is too spicy! It hurts my mouth!" + +Mom quickly gave him a glass of water and a napkin. She said, "I'm sorry, Max. I didn't know you were so sensitive to spicy food. Are you okay?" + +Max drank the water and wiped his mouth. He said, "I'm okay, Mom. But I don't like green olives. They are too spicy for me." + +Mom said, "That's okay, Max. You don't have to like everything. But I'm proud of you for trying something new. Maybe next time, you can try a different kind of olive. Or maybe you can try something else that is new and healthy. There are many foods to explore and enjoy." + +Lily said, "Can I have Max's olives, Mom? I like them. They are spicy and fun." + +Mom said, "Sure, Lily. You can have Max's olives. But don't eat too many. You don't want to get a tummy ache." + +Lily and Max smiled and hugged Mom. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. And we love pasta with sauce and cheese." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I love you too. And I love making lunch for you." + +The moral of the story is: It is good to try new things, but it is also okay to have different tastes and preferences. We should respect and appreciate each other's choices and feelings. And we should always be thankful for the food and the love we have. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a furry teddy bear and Ben had a plastic tray with some blocks. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what the other had. + +"Can I see your bear?" Ben asked Lily. + +"OK, but be gentle. He is very soft and nice," Lily said, and handed him the bear. + +Ben felt the bear's fur and smiled. He liked how it tickled his fingers. He wanted to make the bear laugh, so he poked its nose. + +"Boop!" he said. + +The bear did not laugh. It did not make any sound at all. Ben was confused. He poked the bear's nose again. + +"Boop! Boop!" he said. + +Still nothing. Ben frowned. He poked the bear's nose harder. + +"Boop! Boop! Boop!" he said. + +"Ow! Stop it!" Lily cried. She snatched the bear from Ben's hands. "You are hurting him! He is not a toy, he is my friend!" + +Ben was surprised. He did not mean to hurt the bear or Lily. He just wanted to play. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not know he was your friend. I thought he was a toy, like my tray," he said. + +Lily looked at Ben's tray. She saw the blocks and the shapes. They looked fun, too. She felt sorry for Ben. + +"Do you want to play with my tray?" she asked. + +Ben nodded. He smiled. He gave Lily back the bear and took the tray. + +"Thank you, Lily. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. She smiled. She hugged the bear and sat next to Ben. + +"Yes, Ben. Let's play together," she said. + +They played with the tray and the bear.

They have many toys, but their favorite is the big red automobile. They can sit inside and pretend to drive. + +One day, they find a strange bottle in the closet. It has a label that says "Shrink". They do not know what it means. They think it is a drink. They open the bottle and pour some on the automobile. + +"Oh no!" Anna says. "Look what happened!" + +The automobile is very small now. It is smaller than their hands. They cannot sit inside anymore. They are sad and scared. + +"Mommy! Mommy!" Ben cries. "We need help!" + +Mommy hears them and comes to the closet. She sees the small automobile and the bottle. She understands what they did. She is not angry, but she is worried. + +"Don't worry, my loves," she says. "We can fix this. We just need to find the other bottle. It says "Grow". It can make the automobile big again." + +She looks around the closet and finds the other bottle. She pours some on the automobile. It grows bigger and bigger, until it is the same size as before. + +"Yay!" Anna and Ben cheer. "Our automobile is back!" + +They hug the automobile and each other. They are happy and relieved. + +"Thank you, Mommy," they say. + +Mommy smiles and hugs them too. She is proud of them for telling the truth and being brave. + +She says, "You are very good children.

He does not see a rock at the end of the slide. He hits the rock with his leg. He falls down and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim says. "My leg hurts!" + +Sam slides down and runs to Tim. He sees Tim's leg is bent in a wrong way. He is scared. + +"Tim, are you okay?" Sam asks. "Do you need help?" + +Tim nods. He is in pain. He cannot move his leg. He thinks he broke a bone. + +"Sam, I'm sorry," Tim says. "I should have waited for you. I was not nice." + +Sam hugs Tim. He is not angry. He loves his brother. + +"It's okay, Tim," Sam says. "I'm sorry you are hurt. I will support you. I will get help." + +Sam runs to find their mom. He tells her what happened. Mom comes with Sam and sees Tim. She calls an ambulance.

They are brothers. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a shiny object on the grass. It is a ring with a big stone. The stone is red and sparkles in the sun. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the ring and puts it on his finger. "I am a king!" + +Mia wants the ring too. She thinks it is very attractive. She tries to take it from Tom, but he holds it tight. + +"No, it is mine!" Tom says. "I found it first!" + +"Please, can I have it?" Mia says. "Just for a little bit?" + +Tom shakes his head. He likes the ring too much. He does not want to share it. + +They start to pull and push. The ring slips from Tom's finger and flies in the air. It lands on a branch of a big tree. + +"Oh no!"

They hug and say sorry to each other. + +"Maybe we can find another shiny object to play with," Mia says. + +"Or maybe we can play something else," Tom says. + +They hold hands and walk away. The ring stays on the branch. It shines in the sun. +Anna likes to play with her dog, Max. Max is a big, brown dog with a black nose and a long tail. He likes to run, jump and bark.

Sara sees that Ben is scared and says, "It's okay, Ben. It's just a picture. The spider can't hurt you. You don't have to say the word if you don't want to." + +Ben nods and hugs Sara. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. You help me learn words, but you are also careful with my feelings. I like you, Sara." Sara hugs Ben back and says, "I like you too, Ben. You are a good friend. You try hard to learn words, but you are also honest with your feelings. We are good friends, Ben."

Mom said. She opened the truck and looked inside. She saw that the batteries were old and had leaked. "Oh no, this is not good. The batteries have made a mess inside the truck. It needs an operation." + +"An operation? What is that?" Mia asked. + +"An operation is when someone or something needs to be fixed with tools and parts. Sometimes people need operations when they are sick or hurt. Sometimes toys need operations when they are broken or damaged." Mom explained. + +"Can you do the operation, Mom?" Sam asked. + +"I can try, but I need to get some new batteries and some tape and some scissors. It might take a long time. Do you want to help me?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we want to help!" Sam and Mia said. + +"Okay, then. Let's go to the store and get what we need. Then we can come back and do the operation on the truck. Maybe we can make it work again and shine lights." Mom said. + +Sam and Mia were happy. They liked to learn new things and help their mom. They hoped their truck would be okay after the operation. They wanted to play with it again and have fun. +Sara and Tom were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see Grandma and Grandpa, who lived far away.

But it also had a poison that made the bee sick. She said the bee would die soon. She said Anna should not touch the trap either. She said Anna should listen to her mom and be careful in the garden. Anna nodded and said she was sorry. She said she learned her lesson. She said she would not touch the bee or the trap again. She said she loved her mom and her toys. She said she did not like the gray flower. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys and a shovel. They wanted to bury some toys and find them later. + +"Let's bury this car," Ben said, holding a red car. "It's my favorite." + +"OK," Anna said. "But we have to remember where we put it." + +They dug a hole under a tree and put the car inside. Then they covered it with dirt and leaves. + +"Now let's bury this doll," Anna said, holding a pink doll. "It's my favorite." + +"OK," Ben said. "But we have to remember where we put it." + +They dug another hole near a flower and put the doll inside. Then they covered it with dirt and petals. + +They buried more toys until the box was empty. Then they looked at each other and smiled. + +"Let's go and have a snack," Ben said. "And then we can come back and dig up our toys." + +"OK," Anna said. "But we have to hurry. I can't wait to see my doll again." + +They ran inside the house and asked their mom for some cookies and milk. Their mom smiled and gave them a plate. + +"Enjoy your snack," she said. "But don't forget to clean up your mess in the garden." + +"We won't," Anna and Ben said. They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They were very happy. + +But they were also very impatient. They wanted to go back to the garden and find their toys. They finished their snack and ran outside. + +They looked for the holes they had dug. But they couldn't find them. The garden was different. There were no leaves, no petals, no dirt. There were only holes. + +"What happened?" Anna asked, confused. + +"Look!" Ben said, pointing. "There's a dog!" + +They saw a big, brown dog. The dog was wagging its tail and barking. The dog had something in its mouth. It was a red car. + +The dog had found their toys. The dog had dug up their toys. The dog had made a mess. + +Anna and Ben were very sad. They had lost their favorite toys. They had wasted their time. + +They ran back to the house and told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and said she was sorry. + +"Maybe next time you can play with something else," she said. "Something that the dog won't like." + +"Like what?" Anna asked. + +"Like books," their mom said. "Books are fun and smart. And the dog can't bury them." + +Anna and Ben thought about it. They liked books. They liked stories. They liked words. + +"OK," they said. "Let's try books." + +They went to their room and picked some books. They sat on the floor and read them. They were very happy. + +They forgot about the dog. They forgot about the toys. They forgot about the garden. + +They had a new favorite thing. They had books. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy animals in the living room. They liked to pretend that they were vets and that the animals were sick or hurt. They had a small table where they did their operations. + +"Look, this lion has a bad paw. He needs an operation," Lily said, holding up a stuffed lion. + +"OK, I will help you. Let's set him on the table and get the tools," Ben said, grabbing a plastic knife and a band-aid. + +They carefully cut the lion's paw and put a band-aid on it. They were very gentle and quiet, because they wanted the lion to be peaceful and not scared. + +"Good job, Lily. The lion is all better now. He can go back to his family," Ben said, smiling. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good vet. Let's do another operation," Lily said, looking for another animal. + +But then they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their baby brother, Max, who had knocked over a chair and was crying. + +"Uh-oh, Max is in trouble. We have to go and see what happened," Ben said, dropping the knife. + +"No, we can't. We have to finish our operations. The animals need us," Lily said, holding on to the lion. + +"But Max is our brother. He might be hurt. We have to help him," Ben said, pulling the lion. + +"No, he is not. He is just noisy and naughty. He always ruins our games. The lion is mine," Lily said, pulling back. + +They started to fight over the lion, pulling and shouting. The lion's paw ripped and the stuffing came out. They both gasped and stopped. + +"Oh no, what have we done? We broke the lion. He is not peaceful anymore. He is sad," Lily said, tears in her eyes. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break him. I just wanted to help Max," Ben said, feeling sorry. + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. Then they picked up the lion and went to the kitchen, where their mom was comforting Max. + +"Mom, we broke our lion. Can you fix him?" Lily asked, showing the lion's paw. + +"Of course, sweetie. I can sew him up. He will be fine," Mom said, taking the lion. + +"Mom, we are sorry for fighting. We were playing vets and we wanted to do our operations. But then we heard Max and we didn't agree," Ben said, explaining. + +"It's OK, honey. I'm glad you were playing nicely before. But sometimes you have to stop and see what's going on. Max was just trying to get your attention. He wanted to play with you too," Mom said, smiling. + +"Can we play with him after you fix the lion?" Lily asked, looking at Max. + +"Sure, why not? Maybe you can teach him how to be a vet. He might like that," Mom said, nodding. + +They all smiled and hugged. They were peaceful and happy again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big box in the hall. It has a label that says "Test. Do not open." + +"What is this?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a gift for us," Ben says. + +They look at each other and smile. They drag the box to their room. They open it carefully. Inside, they see a lot of fancy clothes. There are dresses, hats, shoes, and coats. There are also some masks, wigs, and glasses. + +"Wow! Look at all these things!" Sara says. + +"Let's try them on!" Ben says. + +They take out the clothes and lay them on the bed. They start to dress up. Sara puts on a pink dress, a hat with feathers, and a pair of high heels. Ben puts on a suit, a tie, a hat with a flower, and a pair of glasses. They look at themselves in the mirror and laugh. + +"We look so funny!" Sara says. + +"We look so fancy!" Ben says. + +They pretend to be different people. They talk in funny voices and make up stories. They have a lot of fun. + +Meanwhile, Mom and Dad come home. They see the box in the hall. They see the label that says "Test. Do not open." + +"Oh no! That's the box from the costume shop. We were supposed to return it today. It was for a test for a play," Mom says. + +"Let's go and get it. Maybe they didn't open it," Dad says. + +They go to the twins' room. They open the door. They see Sara and Ben in their fancy clothes. They see the bed covered with clothes. They see the mirror with lipstick marks. They are shocked. + +"Sara! Ben! What have you done?" Mom says. + +"We were playing. We found the box. It had fancy clothes. We wanted to try them on," Sara says. + +"We didn't know it was a test. We thought it was a gift. We had fun," Ben says. + +Mom and Dad look at each other. They don't know whether to be angry or amused. They see the twins' innocent faces. They see the joy in their eyes. They decide to be kind. + +"Well, you did make a mess. But you also made us laugh. And you have a lot of imagination. So we won't be mad. But you have to help us clean up. And you have to say sorry to the costume shop. And you have to promise not to open any more boxes without asking," Mom says. + +"OK, Mom. OK, Dad. We're sorry. We promise. Can we keep one fancy thing each?" Sara says. + +"Please, please, please?" Ben says. + +Mom and Dad think for a moment. They nod. + +"OK, you can keep one fancy thing each. But only one. And only if you clean up. Now, let's go and put everything back in the box," Dad says. + +Sara and Ben hug Mom and Dad. They say thank you. They pick their favorite fancy thing. Sara picks the hat with feathers. Ben picks the glasses. They put the rest of the clothes in the box. They help Mom and Dad carry the box to the car. They go to the costume shop. They say sorry. They return the box. They go home. They put their fancy things in their closet. They play with their toys. They are happy. +Lila and Ben are playing with their toys in the garden. Lila has a big jet that can fly in the air. Ben has a small car that can drive on the ground. They are having fun making noises and pretending to go on adventures. + +"Look, my jet can go zoom, zoom, zoom!" Lila says, lifting her jet in the air. + +"My car can go vroom, vroom, vroom!" Ben says, pushing his car on the grass. + +They laugh and play together, until Lila sees a big rock near the fence. She has an idea. + +"Hey, Ben, do you want to mark the rock with our toys?" she asks. + +"What do you mean?" Ben asks. + +"Like this!" Lila says, and she rubs her jet on the rock. The jet leaves a red mark on the rock. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Ben says, and he rubs his car on the rock. The car leaves a blue mark on the rock. + +They take turns marking the rock with their toys, making different shapes and patterns. They are very happy with their art. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" It is Lila's mom. She is not happy. She sees the rock and the toys. + +"You have ruined your toys and the rock!" she says. "Those are not markers, those are toys! And that is not a paper, that is a rock! How could you do this?" + +Lila and Ben feel sad and scared. They did not know they were doing something bad. They just wanted to have fun. + +"We are sorry, mom," Lila says. + +"We did not mean to," Ben says. + +Lila's mom sighs. She is not angry anymore, but she is still upset. + +"Come on, let's go inside and clean your toys," she says. "And no more marking the rock, okay?" + +"Okay," Lila and Ben say. + +They follow Lila's mom inside. They hope their toys are not broken. They hope the rock is not sour. They hope they can still play together. +Anna was a princess who lived in a big castle. She liked to play with her toys and her friends, but she was very lonely. She wanted to talk to someone who loved her and understood her. + +One day, a prince came to visit the castle. He was very handsome and kind. He saw Anna and smiled at her. He said, "Hello, princess. What is your name?" + +Anna was shy, but she liked the prince. She said, "My name is Anna. Who are you?" + +The prince said, "I am Leo. I came from a faraway land to see your father, the king. But I also wanted to see you. You are very pretty and sweet." + +Anna and Leo talked for a long time. They found out that they had many things in common. They liked the same colors, animals, and stories. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, a bad man came to the castle. He was a wicked wizard who wanted to take over the kingdom. He used his magic to make everyone fall asleep, except for Anna and Leo. He said, "You are helpless, princess and prince. You cannot stop me. I will make you my slaves and take your castle and your crown." + +Anna and Leo were scared, but they did not give up. They said, "No, you are wrong. We are not helpless. We have each other. We are brave and smart. We will stop you." + +They worked together to find a way to break the wizard's spell. They used their toys, their friends, and their love to fight the bad man. They made him run away and never come back. + +Everyone woke up and was happy. The king and the queen thanked Anna and Leo for saving the kingdom. They said, "You are our heroes. You are very strong and clever. We are proud of you." + +Anna and Leo hugged and kissed. They said, "We love you, too. And we love each other. We want to stay together forever." + +They got married and lived happily ever after. They always talked and played and helped each other. They were the best princess and prince in the world. +Anna was restless. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to play with her toys and her dog. But Mommy said it was nap time and she had to lie down in her bed. + +Anna looked around her room. She saw her curtain. It was blue and had stars on it. She liked her curtain. She got out of her bed and walked to the window. She pulled the curtain and wrapped it around her. She pretended she was a princess with a long dress. + +She heard a noise. It was her dog, Spot. He came into her room and saw her with the curtain. He thought it was a toy. He ran to her and jumped on her. He grabbed the curtain with his teeth and started to chew it. + +"Spot, no!" Anna shouted. "That's not a toy! That's my curtain!" + +She tried to pull the curtain away from him, but he was stronger. He tugged and tore the curtain. He made a big hole in it. + +Mommy heard the noise and came into the room. She saw Anna and Spot and the curtain. She was angry. + +"Anna, what have you done?" Mommy asked. "Why did you get out of your bed? Why did you let Spot chew your curtain?" + +Anna felt sorry. She did not mean to ruin her curtain. She did not mean to make Mommy angry. She hugged Spot and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I was restless. I wanted to play. Spot wanted to play too. He thought the curtain was a toy." + +Mommy sighed. She was not happy, but she loved Anna and Spot. She said, "I understand, Anna. But you have to listen to me. Nap time is important. You need to rest. And you have to take care of your things. The curtain is not a toy. It is part of your room. Now you have to help me fix it." + +Anna nodded. She said, "OK, Mommy. I will help you. And I will nap after. And I will tell Spot to be good." + +Mommy smiled. She said, "Thank you, Anna. That's very nice of you. Come on, let's go get some scissors and tape and fix your curtain." + +Anna and Mommy went to get the scissors and tape. Spot followed them. He wagged his tail. He was sorry too. He did not want to chew the curtain anymore. He wanted to nap with Anna. He liked Anna. He liked Mommy. He liked his home. +Sam and Mia were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw different things, like animals, houses, and flowers. Sam was very good at drawing lines. He could make them straight, curved, or zigzag. Mia liked to use many colors and shapes. She wanted to make her drawings original. + +"Look, Mia, I drew a train!" Sam said, showing his paper. He had drawn a long line with some squares and circles on it. "It has a smoke and a whistle. Choo-choo!" + +"That's nice, Sam," Mia said, looking at his drawing. She was not very interested in trains. She liked to draw fairies and rainbows. She had drawn a fairy with big wings and a dress. She had used pink, purple, and glitter. "Look, Sam, I drew a fairy! She can fly and do magic. Twinkle-twinkle!" + +Sam looked at her drawing. He did not like fairies and rainbows. He thought they were silly and girly. He wanted to show Mia that his drawing was better. He took his crayon and drew a line over Mia's fairy. He made it look like a big scratch. + +"Hey, Sam, what are you doing?" Mia cried, seeing what he had done. She felt angry and sad. He had ruined her drawing. She loved her drawing. It was original. "That's not nice, Sam! You scratched my fairy!" + +Sam felt a little sorry, but he did not want to admit it. He thought Mia was overreacting. He tried to act cool and tough. He said, "So what? It's just a drawing. Your fairy is stupid. My train is better." + +Mia felt more angry and sad. She did not like Sam's words. She wanted to make him feel bad too. She took her crayon and drew a line over Sam's train. She made it look like a crack. + +"Hey, Mia, what are you doing?" Sam shouted, seeing what she had done. He felt angry and sad. He loved his drawing. It was good. He had worked hard on it. "That's not nice, Mia! You cracked my train!" + +Mia felt a little sorry, but she did not want to admit it. She thought Sam deserved it. She tried to act cool and tough. She said, "So what? It's just a drawing. Your train is stupid. My fairy is better." + +Sam and Mia glared at each other. They did not want to talk or play anymore. They felt hurt and mad. They held their papers and crayons tightly. They started to tremble. They did not know what to do. They wished they had not drawn lines over each other's drawings. They wished they had been nicer. They wished they had been friends. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big roll of tape in the closet. They think it is fun to stick the tape on things. + +They stick the tape on the wall, the door, the lamp, and the sofa. They laugh and make noises. They do not hear Mom call them for lunch. They do not hear Dad come home from work. They do not hear the fire alarm go off. + +The tape catches fire from the lamp. The fire grows big and hot. It makes smoke and flames. Tom and Lily are scared. They try to run out of the room, but the tape blocks the door. They scream and cry, but no one hears them. They are deaf from the tape on their ears. + +Mom and Dad see the fire and call for help. They try to break the door, but it is too late. The fire burns Tom and Lily. They are gone. Mom and Dad are sad. They wish they had seen the tape. They wish they had heard their children. They wish they had a good ending. +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and laugh. They see a big swing with a long rope. They want to try it. + +Tom goes first. He holds the rope and runs fast. He jumps on the swing and flies in the air.

She wants to twist and turn too. She asks Tom to stop and let her try. + +Tom stops the swing and gets off. He gives the rope to Mia. He helps her jump on the swing. He pushes her gently. She flies in the air too. She feels happy and free. She twists the rope and spins around. She likes to twist and turn. + +They take turns on the swing. They have a lot of fun. They see the sun and the sky and the trees. They see a green bird on a branch. The bird sings a song. They listen and smile. They love the park and the swing and the green bird. They are happy. +Tim and Lily went to the pond with their mom. They liked to see the fish and the ducks and the frogs. Mom told them to behave and not to go too close to the water. + +But Tim saw a big green frog on a rock. He wanted to catch it and play with it. He did not listen to mom. He ran to the rock and tried to grab the frog. But the frog was fast and jumped into the water. Tim slipped and fell into the pond. Splash! + +Lily and mom heard the splash and ran to Tim. They saw him wet and muddy and crying. The frog was gone. Mom was angry and worried. She pulled Tim out of the pond and wrapped him in a towel. + +"Tim, you were very bad!" mom said. "You did not behave. You could have hurt yourself or the frog. You scared Lily and me. You need a time out." + +Tim felt sorry and ashamed. He said sorry to mom and Lily and the frog.

Where are you going?" + +Tom thinks for a moment and says, "I am going to the park. There are many other drivers there who want to talk to me. They want to learn from me how to drive fast and safe." + +Mom nods and says, "That sounds like a good meeting. Be careful and come back soon." + +Tom says, "OK, Mom. I love you." He kisses Mom and drives his car out of the door. He makes vroom-vroom noises as he goes down the street. He is very happy and proud. He is a famous driver who has a meeting at the park. +Lily and Ben were happy to go to Grandma's house. They had a big bag with clothes and toys. When they got there, Grandma hugged them and said, "Welcome, my sweeties! Come inside and unpack your bag. Then we can have some cookies and milk." + +Lily and Ben followed Grandma to the guest room. They opened their bag and took out their things. Lily had a pink dress, a doll, and a comb. Ben had a blue shirt, a car, and a book.

The truck has many letters and boxes. + +"Look, Sam, the mail truck is here!" Ben says. "Maybe we have a letter from Grandma!" + +"Let's go see!" Sam says. They run to the truck. + +The mailman is very busy. He does not see Ben and Sam. He puts a big box on the ground. The box has a sticker that says "fragile". + +"Wow, what is in the box?" Ben wonders. He wants to open it. + +"Maybe it is a treasure!" Sam says. He helps Ben to lift the box. + +The box is very heavy. They can not carry it. They drop the box. The box breaks. Something shiny falls out. + +"It is a treasure!" Ben and Sam shout. They see a big silver bowl with jewels and coins. + +The mailman hears them. He turns around. He sees the broken box and the silver bowl. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he yells. "That is not your box! That is not your treasure! That is a very old and valuable bowl! It belongs to a museum!" + +Ben and Sam are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. They run back to their ship. They grab their anchor.

She runs to the stair and tries to reach the teddy bear. + +"Stop, Lily!" Ben shouts. "That is my teddy bear! You have your own teddy bear in your bed. Give it back to me!" + +Lily does not listen. She grabs the teddy bear and hugs it tight. She feels happy and warm. She does not want to share it with Ben. Ben feels envious and angry. He runs to Lily and tries to take the teddy bear from her. + +"Let go, Ben!" Lily cries. "This is my teddy bear now! You have many other toys. Go away!" + +Lily and Ben pull and tug on the teddy bear. They make a lot of noise. They do not see their mom coming up the stair. She hears them fighting and sees them hurting the teddy bear.

She feels angry and disappointed. She takes the journal from Tom and gives it to Anna. She hugs Anna and comforts her. + +"Tom, that was very wrong. You should not take Anna's journal. You should not laugh at her. You should not shake her journal. You should be kind and respectful. Anna's journal is her quiet place. She can write and draw whatever she wants. It is not for you to see or judge. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +Tom feels ashamed and sorry. He realizes he was mean and rude. He lowers his head and says sorry. + +"Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Mom. I was bored and curious. I did not mean to hurt you or your journal. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna looks at Tom and sees he is sincere.

He saw a crack on it. + +"Oh no, it's broken!" he said. + +"Broken? How?" Lily asked. + +Tom tried to bend the penny. It snapped in half. + +"See? It's broken. It's not good anymore." he said. + +Lily was sad. She liked the penny. She wanted to keep it. + +"But I found it. It's mine.

Why are you fighting?" she asked. + +They told her about the penny. They both wanted it. + +The lady smiled. She had an idea. + +"I have a solution. How about we share the penny? I have a necklace.

They liked the idea. + +"Okay, we can share." they said. + +The lady helped them. She put the penny halves on the necklace. She gave it to them. They put it on.

Tom said, putting a leaf on his head. + +"I have a leaf dress!" Lily said, wrapping some leaves around her. + +They pretended to be leaf people and danced in the field. They had so much fun that they did not see the farmer coming. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing with my leaves?" the farmer said, sounding angry. He had raked the leaves to make compost for his crops. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the leaves and ran away. They said sorry to the farmer, but he did not hear them. + +They ran back to their homes and told their moms what happened. Their moms were not happy. They told them to be more careful and respectful in the field. + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They decided to make a card for the farmer and say sorry again. They used some paper, crayons, and glue.

They did not hear them calling their names. They did not notice the sign that said "Happy Birthday, Lily and Ben!" + +Mom and dad were surprised and sad. They wanted to celebrate their twins' birthday, but they could not find them. They looked everywhere, but they only saw their toys and clothes scattered around. + +"Where are they?" mom asked, worried. + +"Maybe they went to the park or the store," dad suggested, trying to be calm. + +They decided to wait for them and hope they would come back soon. + +Meanwhile, Lily and Ben were still running and arguing. They were tired and angry. They did not have fun anymore. They wished they had something else to do. + +Suddenly, they saw a flash of light and heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw fireworks in the sky. They were red and blue and green and yellow. They made shapes like stars and hearts and flowers.

He is very sorry." + +Sara's mom took her to Ben's room, where they found him playing with his car. He saw Sara and her mom and he looked scared. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara.

We just wanted to have fun. We didn't know the leaves were yours." + +Mr. Brown looks at them. He sees their big eyes and their full cart. He thinks for a moment. He says, "Well, I guess you didn't mean any harm. But you have to be careful and respectful. The leaves are not toys. They are part of the park. They help the soil and the plants.

They put them on the ground and try to make a nest. + +"This is hard work," Tim says. "How do birds do it?" + +"They are smart," Lily says. "They use their beaks and feet to weave the twigs and leaves together." + +"Can we do that too?" Tim asks. + +"I don't think so," Lily says. "We don't have beaks and feet like birds. We have hands and fingers." + +"Maybe we can use our hands and fingers to make a nest," Tim says. + +They try to use their hands and fingers to make a nest.

He took the bread and threw it to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. + +"Can I feed them too?" Lily asked. She took some bread and threw it to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked louder. + +But the ducks were not friendly. They were hungry and angry. They bit Tim and Lily's fingers and toes. They chased Tim and Lily around the pond. Tim and Lily screamed and cried. + +"Help, help!" they shouted. But no one heard them. No one came to help them. They were alone and scared. + +They wished they had not escaped from school. They wished they had stayed in the clean and safe classroom. They wished they had listened to the teacher. They learned a hard lesson. Escaping from school was a bad idea. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to raise flowers and pick them for their mom. They have a big pot with many colors. Anna wants to pick a red flower. Ben wants to pick a yellow flower. + +But there is only one red flower and one yellow flower in the pot. Anna and Ben both reach for the flowers at the same time. They pull and tug and shout. The flowers break and fall on the ground. The pot tips over and the dirt spills. + +Anna and Ben stop and look at the mess. They feel sad and sorry. They have no flowers for their mom. And they have made the garden dirty. + +They hear their mom calling them for lunch. They run to the house. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them and says it is okay. She says they can clean the garden later and plant new flowers. She says she loves them more than any flower. + +Anna and Ben smile and say they love their mom too. They wash their hands and sit at the table. They eat their lunch and share their bread. They are happy again. They are friends. +Lily liked to play with her train. It was a big train with red and blue and yellow. It made a loud noise when she pushed it on the floor. She liked to make it go fast and slow and around and around. + +One day, a boy came to her house. His name was Max. He wanted to play with Lily, but he also wanted to play with her train. He tried to take it from her, but Lily said no. She wanted to protect her train. It was hers and she loved it. + +Max was angry. He pushed Lily and grabbed her train. He ran away with it to the other room. Lily was sad and scared. She cried and called for her mom. + +Mom heard Lily and came to see what was wrong. She saw Max with Lily's train and Lily with tears. She was not happy. She told Max to give back the train and say sorry. She told Lily to come with her and hug her. + +Lily felt better. She got her train back and hugged her mom. She did not want to play with Max anymore. He was not nice. He was not attractive. She liked her train more. It was nice and attractive. She smiled and played with it again. +Tom and Anna like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. Sometimes they fold their arms and say "no fair" when the other one scores. + +One day, they see a big dog running towards them. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. It barks loudly and chases the ball. Tom and Anna are frightened. They drop the ball and run away. + +"Help, help!" they shout. "The dog wants our ball!" + +A man hears them and comes to the park. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog and puts a leash on it. He walks to Tom and Anna and smiles. + +"I'm sorry, kids. My dog likes to play soccer too. He doesn't want to hurt you. He just wants to join the game. Do you want to play with him?" + +Tom and Anna look at the dog. The dog wags his tail and licks his lips. He looks friendly now. Tom and Anna nod. + +"Okay, we can play with him. But he has to be on our team. He is too good for the other goal." + +The man laughs and agrees. He gives them back their ball. Tom and Anna kick the ball to the dog. The dog runs after it and catches it with his mouth. He brings it back to them and drops it. He barks happily.
