+Ben and Lily looked at Mom and smiled. They were not scared or sorry. They were proud of their adventure.
+
+"Mom, we were in a spaceship!" Ben said. "We went to a very cold planet and met some friendly aliens. They gave us ice cream and snowballs."
+
+"Mom, we were in a castle!" Lily said. "We were the king and the queen and we had a big party. We danced and sang and ate cake and candy."
+
+Mom shook her head and laughed. She was glad that Ben and Lily had such big imaginations. She helped them out of the box and took them to the kitchen.
+
+"Maybe you can tell me more about your adventure later," she said. "But now you have to eat your beef and vegetables. They are good for you and will make you strong and healthy."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and followed Mom. They shut the box and left it in the garage. They knew they would play with it again another day. They were adventurous kids and they loved to explore.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide. Tom wanted to go on the slide, but Lily was scared.
+
+"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" Tom said. "Don't be scared. I dare you to go on the slide with me."
+
+Lily looked at the slide. It was very high and steep. She felt a funny feeling in her stomach. She shook her head.
+
+"No, Tom, I don't want to. It's too high. I might fall and hurt myself."
+
+Tom frowned. He thought Lily was being silly. He wanted to show her that he was brave.
+
+"Fine, then I'll go by myself. Watch me, Lily. I'm not scared of anything."
+
+Tom ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He reached the top and sat on the edge. He looked down and smiled. He was ready to slide.
+
+But then he heard a loud roar. He turned his head and saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards the slide. It looked angry and hungry.
+
+Tom's smile turned into a scream. He was scared. He wished he had stayed with Lily. He wished he had not dared her to go on the slide.
+
+He slid down as fast as he could. He hoped the dog would not catch him.
+
+Lily saw Tom and the dog. She was scared too. She ran to Tom and hugged him.
+
+"Tom, are you okay? That was a scary dog. I'm sorry I didn't go on the slide with you."
+
+Tom hugged Lily back. He was glad she was there. He was sorry he had been mean to her.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. I was wrong. The slide was too high. And the dog was too scary. Let's go and play something else. Something safe and fun."
+
+Lily nodded. She agreed with Tom. They held hands and walked away from the slide. They decided to play on the swings instead. They were happy and not scared anymore.
+One day, a boy named Tom wanted to wear his dad's hat. His dad's hat was big and brown and had a feather on it. Tom thought it made him look strong and brave. He took the hat from the closet and put it on his head. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled.
+
+"Tom, where are you going?" his mom asked. She saw him with the hat and frowned.
+
+"I'm going to play with the goat," Tom said. "He is my friend and he likes my hat."
+
+"Tom, that is not your hat. That is your dad's hat. He needs it for work. And the goat might chew on it or pull it off. Please take it off and put it back," his mom said.
+
+"No, I want to wear it. It is my hat now. And the goat won't hurt it. He is nice," Tom said. He ran out of the door before his mom could stop him.
+
+He went to the barn where the goat was. The goat saw him and came closer. He looked at the hat and sniffed it. He liked the feather. He tried to nibble on it.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tom said. He pushed the goat away. "This is my hat. You can't have it."
+
+The goat was not happy. He wanted the feather. He jumped on Tom and knocked him down. He grabbed the hat with his mouth and ran away.
+
+"Give me back my hat!" Tom shouted. He got up and chased the goat. But the goat was faster and stronger. He ran around the barn and hid behind a haystack.
+
+Tom looked for the hat. He could not find it. He was sad and angry. He wished he had listened to his mom. He went back to the house.
+
+"Tom, what happened?" his mom asked. She saw him without the hat and with dirt on his clothes.
+
+"The goat took my hat. He ran away with it. I can't find it," Tom said. He started to cry.
+
+"Oh, Tom, I'm sorry. But you should have listened to me. That was not your hat. That was your dad's hat. He will be very upset if he can't find it. You should not take things that are not yours. You should respect other people's belongings. Do you understand?" his mom said.
+
+Tom nodded. He felt sorry. He hugged his mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I won't take things that are not mine again. Can you help me find the hat?"
+
+"Of course, Tom. I love you. Come on, let's go look for the hat. Maybe the goat will give it back if we ask nicely," his mom said.
+
+They went to the barn and looked for the goat. They found him behind the haystack. He still had the hat in his mouth. He saw them and bleated.
+
+"Hello, goat. We are sorry we disturbed you. We are looking for the hat. It belongs to Tom's dad. He needs it for work. Can you please give it back to us?" Tom's mom said.
+
+The goat looked at them and then at the hat. He liked the feather, but he also liked Tom. He was his friend. He decided to be nice. He dropped the hat and nudged it towards them.
+
+"Thank you, goat. You are very kind. We appreciate it. Here, have a carrot as a reward," Tom's mom said. She gave the goat a carrot from her pocket. The goat ate it happily.
+
+Tom picked up the hat and dusted it off. He looked at it and felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, goat. I was mean to you. You can have the feather if you want. It is pretty and you deserve it."
+
+The goat looked at Tom and smiled. He took the feather and put it on his ear. He looked very proud.
+
+Tom and his mom smiled too. They thanked the goat again and went back to the house. Tom gave the hat to his dad and apologized. His dad forgave him and hugged him. He said, "I'm glad you found the hat. And I'm proud of you for being honest and generous. You learned a valuable lesson today. You should always respect other people's things and be kind to your friends. That is what makes you strong and brave."
+
+Tom nodded. He learned his lesson. He was happy. He said, "I love you, dad. And I love you, mom. And I love you, goat. You are all my friends."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben like to make things with paper and glue. They have many colors of paper and a big bottle of glue. They cut the paper into shapes and spread glue on them. Then they stick the shapes together to make animals and houses and cars.
+
+One day, they want to make a big rocket. They find a long paper roll and some cardboard. They cut out a cone and four fins for the rocket. They spread glue on the paper roll and wrap it with red paper. They spread glue on the cone and the fins and stick them to the paper roll. They make a window and a door with black paper and glue them too.
+
+They are very happy with their rocket. They want to play with it. They pretend they are astronauts and go to the moon. They lift the rocket and try to fit it in their toy box. But the rocket is too big. It does not fit. They try to push it harder. But the glue is not dry. The cone and the fins fall off. The paper tears. The rocket is broken.
+
+Anna and Ben are very sad. They cry. They worked hard to make the rocket. They want to fix it. But they do not have more paper or glue. They do not know what to do.
+
+Mom hears them cry. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken rocket and the mess. She hugs Anna and Ben. She tells them not to be sad. She says they can make a new rocket. She says she has more paper and glue. She says she will help them. She says they can make the rocket smaller. Then it will fit in the toy box. She says they can wait for the glue to dry. Then the rocket will not fall apart.
+
+Anna and Ben stop crying. They smile. They thank Mom. They are happy. They go to get more paper and glue. They make a new rocket with Mom. They make it smaller and stronger. They wait for the glue to dry. They play with the rocket. They fit it in the toy box. They have fun. They love their rocket. They love Mom.
+Anna liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. She liked to pretend she was a fairy. She had a fairy dress and a fairy wand. She wished she could see a real fairy.
+
+One day, she heard a ring sound. It was not a bell or a phone. It was a tiny ring, like a drop of water. She followed the sound. She saw a shiny thing in the grass. It was a fairy ring. It was a circle of small mushrooms. Anna knew fairy rings were magic. She hoped a fairy would come out.
+
+She waited and waited. She was very quiet. She did not move. She heard the ring sound again. It was closer. She looked around. She saw a flash of light. It was a fairy. It was very small and very pretty. It had wings and a dress and a wand. It looked like Anna, but different.
+
+"Hello," the fairy said. "Who are you?"
+
+"I'm Anna," Anna said. "I'm a fairy too."
+
+The fairy smiled. "You are? You don't look like a fairy."
+
+"I am," Anna said. "I have a fairy dress and a fairy wand. See?"
+
+The fairy looked at Anna's dress and wand. They were not like hers. They were bigger and brighter and made of cloth and plastic. The fairy's dress and wand were made of petals and dew. They were different.
+
+The fairy was curious. She wanted to know more about Anna. She flew closer. She touched Anna's dress and wand. They felt different. She asked Anna many questions. Anna answered them. She asked the fairy many questions too. The fairy answered them. They talked and talked. They found out they had many things in common. They liked flowers and bugs and playing. They also had many things that were different. They liked different foods and songs and games. They learned from each other. They became friends. They played and laughed and had fun. They forgot about time.
+
+They did not see the sun go down. They did not hear Anna's mom call her name. They did not notice the fairy ring fade away. They were too happy. They were different, but they were the same. They were fairies.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the park. She had a big bow in her hair that was pink and shiny. One day, she saw a boy who was playing with a ball. He had a blue shirt and brown eyes. Lily wanted to play with him, so she walked over and said hello.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she asked.
+
+"Hi, I'm Max. Do you want to play with me?" he said.
+
+"Yes, please. Can I kick your ball?" she said.
+
+"Sure, but be gentle. It's my favorite ball," he said.
+
+Lily nodded and kicked the ball softly. It rolled to Max, who kicked it back. They took turns kicking the ball and laughing. They had fun playing together.
+
+"Your bow is very pretty," Max said.
+
+"Thank you. My mom gave it to me. It's my favorite bow," Lily said.
+
+"Can I touch it?" Max asked.
+
+"Okay, but be gentle. It's very delicate," Lily said.
+
+Max reached out and touched the bow gently. It felt soft and smooth. He smiled and said, "It's very nice."
+
+Lily smiled back and said, "You're very nice, too."
+
+They hugged and became friends. They decided to play in the park every day. They were happy to meet each other.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big pear on the ground. It was green and yellow and smelled sweet.
+
+"Look, a pear!" Lily said. "Let's share it!"
+
+"Okay!" Ben said. He took the pear and broke it in half. He gave one half to Lily and kept the other half for himself.
+
+They both took a big bite of the pear. But it was not good. It was soft and brown and had worms inside. It tasted disgusting.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. She spit out the pear and threw it away. "This pear is bad!"
+
+"Yuck!" Ben said. He did the same. "It has bugs!"
+
+They both made a face and rubbed their tongues. They did not like the pear at all.
+
+"Let's go get some water," Lily said. "And then we can play something else."
+
+"Okay," Ben said. He nodded. "But no more pears!"
+
+They both ran to the fountain and drank some water. Then they smiled at each other and went to play on the swings. They were still friends. They learned to share, but they also learned to check the fruit before they ate it.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy kitchen. They had pots and pans, spoons and forks, and some pretend food. They liked to make soup and cake and pizza for their dolls and teddies.
+
+"Let me stir the soup, Lily," Tom said. He reached for the spoon, but Lily held it tight.
+
+"No, I want to stir it. You can stir the cake," Lily said. She did not want to share the spoon. She liked to stir the soup and make bubbles.
+
+Tom was angry. He wanted to stir the soup too. He pulled the spoon from Lily's hand. Lily screamed and tried to get it back. They both tugged and tugged until the spoon broke in half. The soup spilled on the floor.
+
+"Oh no, look what you did!" Lily cried. She was sad and scared. The spoon was fragile and now it was broken. She loved that spoon. It was her favorite.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break it," Tom said. He felt bad and sorry. He liked that spoon too. It was shiny and smooth.
+
+They heard their mom coming. She saw the mess and the broken spoon. She was not happy. She was angry and cross.
+
+"Tom and Lily, what happened here? You made a big mess and you broke your spoon. That was not nice. You have to clean up and say sorry to each other. And then you have to go to jail," she said.
+
+"Jail?" Tom and Lily asked. They were scared and confused. They did not want to go to jail. Jail was bad and scary.
+
+"Yes, jail. Your room is your jail. You have to stay there until dinner time. And no more playing with your toy kitchen. You have to learn to share and be careful," mom said.
+
+She gave them a cloth and a bucket. They cleaned up the soup and the spoon. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They did not like to fight. They liked to play and have fun.
+
+They went to their room. It was their jail. They were sad and bored. They wished they had their toy kitchen. They wished they had not broken their spoon. They wished they had been nice.
+Tim and Sam like to play with their toys. They have a record that makes music when they put it on a box. They also have a rod that they use to pretend to fish. They take turns with the record and the rod.
+
+One day, Tim wants to play with the record and the rod at the same time. He says to Sam, "I want the record and the rod. They are mine."
+
+Sam says, "No, they are not. We share them. You can have the record or the rod, but not both."
+
+Tim gets angry. He grabs the record and the rod from Sam. He says, "They are both mine. Go away."
+
+Sam gets angry too. He tries to get the record and the rod back from Tim. They pull and push and shout.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tim and Sam fighting over the record and the rod. She says, "Stop it, both of you. You are not being nice. You have to share your toys. If you can't share, you can't play with them."
+
+She takes the record and the rod from Tim and Sam. She puts them on a shelf. She says, "You can have them back when you say sorry and play nicely."
+
+Tim and Sam feel sad. They don't like to fight. They don't like to lose their toys. They look at each other. They say, "Sorry."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That's better. Now you can have your toys back. But remember, you have to take turns and share."
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They take the record and the rod. They play with them together. They make music and fish. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were two youths who liked to play together. They were good friends and always shared their toys and snacks. One day, they found a big ball in the park. It was red and shiny and bounced very high. They both wanted to play with it.
+
+"Can I have the ball first?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, I saw it first. It's mine!" Lily said.
+
+They began to argue and pull the ball from each other. They did not speak nicely and they did not listen to each other. They were very angry and sad.
+
+A man who was walking his dog saw them and came over. He was kind and dependable. He smiled and said, "Hello, youths. Why are you fighting over the ball?"
+
+Tom and Lily stopped and looked at him. They felt ashamed and sorry.
+
+"We both want the ball, but there is only one," Tom said.
+
+"Can't you take turns and share the ball?" the man asked.
+
+Tom and Lily thought for a moment. They realized that they were being selfish and rude. They nodded and said, "Yes, we can. We are sorry for fighting. We are friends and we should speak nicely and listen to each other."
+
+The man was happy and said, "That's good. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Here, you can have this dog toy as a gift. It's also a ball, but it squeaks when you squeeze it. You can play with both balls and have more fun."
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the man and hugged each other. They apologized and forgave each other. They played with both balls and had a lot of fun. They were happy and friendly again.
+
+The moral of the story is: It is better to share and speak nicely than to fight and be selfish.
+Ben was sick. He had a fever and a cough. Mom wanted to check his temperature with a thermometer. She put it in his mouth and told him to hold it still.
+
+But Ben did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and tasted funny. He wanted to spit it out and play with his toys. He moved his tongue and tried to push the thermometer out of his mouth.
+
+Mom saw what Ben was doing and said, "No, Ben, you have to hold the thermometer. It will tell me how hot you are. If you are too hot, you need medicine. If you are not too hot, you can play later."
+
+Ben was frustrated. He did not want medicine. He did not want to hold the thermometer. He wanted to play now. He started to cry and wiggle his head.
+
+Mom was frustrated too. She wanted to help Ben feel better. She wanted to know his temperature. She took the thermometer out of his mouth and looked at it. It was not working. It did not show any numbers.
+
+Mom sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. The thermometer is broken. We have to try another one. Can you hold this one under your arm? It will be easier and faster."
+
+Ben nodded and wiped his tears. He hoped the new thermometer would work. He hoped he was not too hot. He hoped he could play soon. He held the thermometer under his arm and waited.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. One day, they see a big wire on the ground. It is shiny and long. They want to touch it.
+
+"Be careful," says Tom. "It may hurt you."
+
+But Sam does not listen. He runs to the wire and grabs it. He feels a shock. He lets go and falls down. He cries very loud.
+
+Tom runs to Sam and tries to help him. He is scared. He calls for Mom and Dad. They come out and see Sam. They are angry and sad.
+
+They take Sam to the car and drive to the doctor. The doctor says Sam is hurt bad. He needs to stay in the hospital. He may not play for a long time.
+
+Tom feels sorry. He wishes he had stopped Sam. He cries too. He does not like the wire. He does not like the hospital. He does not like the bad ending.
+Anna and Ben like to jog with Mom and Dad. They jog in the park and see many things. They see birds, flowers, dogs and people. They have fun and feel good.
+
+One day, they see a big sign in the park. The sign has many words and pictures. Mom and Dad stop to read the sign. Anna and Ben do not know what the sign says. They ask Mom and Dad.
+
+"What does the sign say, Mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"It says that there is a race in the park next week. A race is when many people jog together and try to be fast. Do you want to join the race, Anna?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, I want to join the race, Mom. I like to jog. Can I have a medal, Mom?" Anna says.
+
+"A medal is a shiny thing that you get when you do well in the race. Maybe you can have a medal, Anna, if you jog hard and have fun." Mom says.
+
+"What about me, Dad?" Ben asks.
+
+"Do you want to join the race, too, Ben?" Dad says.
+
+"No, I do not want to join the race, Dad. I do not like to jog. I like to play with my ball. Can I have a ball, Dad?" Ben says.
+
+"A ball is a round thing that you can kick and throw and catch. Maybe you can have a ball, Ben, if you cheer for Anna and have fun." Dad says.
+
+"OK, Dad. I will cheer for Anna and have fun. But can I have a heavy ball, Dad?" Ben says.
+
+"A heavy ball is a ball that is hard to lift and move. Why do you want a heavy ball, Ben?" Dad says.
+
+"Because I want to be strong, Dad. And I want to make a big noise when I drop the ball, Dad." Ben says.
+
+Mom and Dad laugh. They hug Anna and Ben. They say they love them very much. They say they are proud of them. They say they will jog and play and have fun together.
+Lily and Ben like to play with model cars. They have many model cars of different colors and sizes. They put them on the floor and make noises like vroom and beep.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a new model car in the garage. It is big and red and shiny. They want to add it to their collection.
+
+"Wow, look at this car!" Lily says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can we play with it?" Ben asks.
+
+They pick up the car and bring it to their room. But when they look at it closely, they see that it is filthy. It has dirt and dust and oil all over it. It smells bad too.
+
+"Yuck, this car is dirty!" Lily says. "We can't play with it like this!"
+
+"Maybe we can clean it," Ben says. "We can use water and soap and a cloth."
+
+They go to the bathroom and fill a bucket with water. They add some soap and stir it with their hands. They dip the cloth in the water and start to rub the car.
+
+They work hard and soon the car is clean and shiny again. They dry it with a towel and admire it.
+
+"Look, we did it!" Lily says. "The car is beautiful now!"
+
+"Let's go play with it!" Ben says.
+
+They run to their room and add the car to their collection. They make noises like vroom and beep and have fun. They are happy with their new model car.
+Anna loved to dream. Every night, she would close her eyes and imagine incredible things. She would dream of flying in the sky, swimming with dolphins, or visiting the moon. She would smile and giggle in her sleep.
+
+One night, she had a special dream. She dreamed that she was a princess in a big castle. She wore a beautiful dress and a shiny crown. She had many toys and books and sweets. She had a luxury room with a soft bed and a fluffy pillow. She felt very happy.
+
+She met a friendly prince who wanted to play with her. He took her hand and showed her his garden. There were many flowers and butterflies and birds. They ran and laughed and had fun.
+
+"Hello, princess," he said. "Do you like my garden?"
+
+"Yes, I do," she said. "It is very pretty. Thank you for sharing it with me."
+
+"You are welcome," he said. "You are very kind. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+"Yes, I do," she said. "You are very nice. I want to be your friend."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They decided to have a tea party with their stuffed animals. They poured water and pretended it was tea. They ate cookies and pretended they were cakes. They had a wonderful time.
+
+Anna woke up and opened her eyes. She saw her mom and dad standing by her bed. They looked at her with love.
+
+"Good morning, sweetie," her mom said. "Did you have a good sleep?"
+
+"Yes, I did," she said. "I had a dream. It was incredible."
+
+"What did you dream about?" her dad asked.
+
+"I dreamed that I was a princess," she said. "And I met a prince. And we played in his garden. And we had a tea party. And we were friends."
+
+"That sounds like a lovely dream," her mom said. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."
+
+"Me too," she said. "It was fun. But I'm happy to see you. You are my real friends."
+
+She hugged them and kissed them. They hugged her and kissed her back. They told her they loved her very much. She told them she loved them too. She felt very happy. She loved to dream. But she loved her family more.
+Lily wanted to play with her new toy. It was a big ball with many colors and shapes. She could twist it and make it change. She liked to twist it and see what happened.
+
+But mother said no. She said it was time for bed. Lily had to brush her teeth and put on her pajamas. She did not want to do that. She wanted to play with her ball.
+
+She was nervous. She thought mother would take her ball away. She did not want to lose her ball. She loved her ball. She hid it under her pillow. She hoped mother would not find it.
+
+Mother came to tuck her in. She kissed her and said good night. She did not see the ball. Lily was happy. She waited for mother to leave. Then she took out her ball and twisted it. She saw the colors and shapes change. She smiled and giggled.
+
+But then she heard a noise. It was mother. She was coming back. She forgot something. Lily was scared. She quickly put the ball back under her pillow. She pretended to sleep. She hoped mother would not see the ball. She hoped mother would not be angry. She closed her eyes and held her breath.
+Lily and Sam love to play sport. They like to run, jump, kick and throw. They have a big ball and a small net in their backyard. They pretend they are soccer stars and score many goals.
+
+One day, they see a new family move in next door. They have a boy who is the same age as Lily and Sam. His name is Ben. He has a big smile and a lot of toys. He also likes to play sport.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?" he asks Lily and Sam.
+
+"Yes, we do!" they say. "What sport do you like?"
+
+"I like basketball. Do you have a hoop?" he says.
+
+"No, we don't. But we have a soccer ball and a net. Do you want to try?" they say.
+
+"OK, I'll try. But I don't know how to play soccer. Can you teach me?" he says.
+
+"Sure, we can teach you. It's easy and fun. Come on, let's go!" they say.
+
+They run to the backyard and show Ben how to play soccer. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. They cheer and clap when someone makes a goal. They are very enthusiastic and have a lot of fun.
+
+Their parents watch them from the windows. They are happy to see their children make new friends. They wave to each other and say hello. They think they will get along well. They are glad they moved to this neighborhood.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They are very happy.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. He sees the snowman and runs to it. He wants to play with it. He bites the hat and pulls the scarf. He knocks the snowman down.
+
+"Stop!" Tom and Lily shout. "That is our snowman! Go away!"
+
+But the dog does not listen. He is having fun. He barks and wags his tail.
+
+Tom and Lily are very sad. They urge the dog to leave. They wave their arms and throw snowballs. But the dog is too fast and strong. He dodges the snowballs and jumps on them.
+
+They fall on the snow. They are cold and wet. They cry for help.
+
+Then, they see their dad. He is coming from the house. He sees the dog and the snowman. He sees Tom and Lily.
+
+He runs to them. He picks them up and hugs them. He tells the dog to go home. He is not angry, but firm.
+
+The dog hears him. He drops the hat and the scarf. He looks at them. He is sorry. He did not mean to hurt them. He just wanted to play.
+
+He whines and licks their faces. He tries to make friends.
+
+Tom and Lily are scared at first. But then, they see his sad eyes. They see he is not a bad dog. He is just a silly dog.
+
+They pat his head and say, "It's OK. We forgive you. But don't touch our snowman again."
+
+The dog wags his tail and nods. He understands.
+
+They all go to the house. Dad makes them hot chocolate. They drink it and warm up. They tell him about the snowman and the dog. They laugh and smile.
+
+They are happy again.
+Ben and Lily were playing by the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They saw a big bridge that crossed the river. It was made of wood and had many holes.
+
+"Let's go on the bridge!" Ben said. "It looks cool!"
+
+"OK!" Lily said. "But we have to hurry. Mom said we have to be home soon."
+
+They ran to the bridge and climbed on it. They looked down and saw the river flowing fast. They felt the wind on their faces. They heard the birds singing.
+
+"This is fun!" Lily said. "We can see everything from here!"
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a train coming on the tracks next to the bridge. The train was big and black and had a horn that went "toot toot!"
+
+"Uh-oh!" Ben said. "We have to get off the bridge! The train is too close!"
+
+They ran to the other side of the bridge, but it was too far. The train was getting closer and closer. They were scared.
+
+"Help!" Lily shouted. "We can't make it!"
+
+Then, they saw a man waving at them. He was on the other side of the bridge. He had a rope in his hand.
+
+"Grab the rope!" he shouted. "I'll pull you over!"
+
+Ben and Lily saw the rope and reached for it. The man threw it to them and they caught it. He pulled them over the bridge just in time. The train passed by and made a loud noise.
+
+"Thank you!" Ben and Lily said to the man. "You saved us!"
+
+"You're welcome!" the man said. "But you shouldn't play on the bridge. It's dangerous. You could fall or get hit by the train. Next time, stay away from the bridge."
+
+"OK, we will," Ben and Lily said. "We're sorry. We didn't know."
+
+They hugged the man and ran back to their mom. They told her what happened and she was glad they were safe. She thanked the man and took them home.
+
+They learned their lesson and never played on the bridge again. They found other cool places to play by the river.

+
+She waits until her mom is busy. She sneaks to the store. She sees the rare yarn on a high shelf. She tries to reach it. She can't. She sees a stool. She lifts the stool and puts it under the shelf. She climbs on the stool. She grabs the rare yarn. She is happy.

+
+"Look, we made a cake!" Lily said.
+
+"No, we made soup!" Ben said.
+
+They both wanted to taste their food. They took a big spoon and put it in their mouths. But it was not yummy. It was bad. It was very bad. It was salty and sweet and sticky and runny. They spat it out and made a face.
+
+"Yuck! This is not cake or soup! This is yucky!" Lily said.
+
+"This is the worst food ever! We are bad chefs!" Ben said.
+
+They felt sad and sorry. They wanted to make good food, not bad food. They wanted to have fun, not make a mess. They looked at the pan. It was dirty and sticky and full of yucky food. They did not know how to clean it. They did not want to get in trouble.

+
+Tom thinks it is a bad idea. He says, "No, Lisa. That is not fun. That is naughty. The dishwasher is not for hiding. It is for washing. Mom will be angry if we go in there."
+
+But Lisa does not listen. She says, "You are a chicken. You are afraid. I am not afraid. I am brave. Watch me." She climbs into the dishwasher. She tells Tom to join her. Tom feels scared.

+
+They close the door. It is dark and wet inside. They hear Mom coming back. They wait for her to open the door. They want to jump out and say, "Boo!" They think it will be funny.
+
+But Mom does not open the door. She pushes a button. The dishwasher starts to make noise. It starts to spray water. Lisa and Tom feel the water on their faces. They feel the soap on their clothes.

+
+Mom hears the noise. She runs to the kitchen. She sees the dishwasher is on. She opens the door. She sees Lisa and Tom inside. They are wet and soapy and hot. They look scared and sorry. Mom is shocked and angry. She says, "What are you doing in there? How did you get in there? Do you know how dangerous that is? You could have been hurt. You could have broken the machine. You are in big trouble."
+
+Lisa and Tom feel guilty. They know they did something wrong. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play. We wanted to scare you. We did not think. We did not know. Please forgive us."
+
+Mom is still angry. But she is also relieved. She is glad they are not hurt. She says, "You are very lucky. You are not hurt. But you are very naughty. You need to learn. You need to listen. You need to obey. You need to say sorry to the dishwasher. And you need to help me clean it. And you need to go to your room. And you need to think about what you did. And you need to promise me you will never do it again."
+
+Lisa and Tom say sorry to the dishwasher. They help Mom clean it. They go to their room. They think about what they did. They promise Mom they will never do it again. They hug Mom and say they love her. Mom hugs them and says she loves them too. But she also says they are grounded for a week. Lisa and Tom learn their lesson.

+
+Ben ran over to see. He was curious. He wanted to touch the mole. He reached out his hand, but the mole did not like that. It made a loud noise and sneezed. The sneeze made dirt fly everywhere.
+
+"Ah-choo!" the mole said. "Go away, go away! This is my home. You are too big and noisy. Leave me alone!"
+
+Mia and Ben were surprised and scared. They did not want to make the mole angry. They said, "Sorry, sorry, Mr. Mole. We did not mean to bother you. We will go play somewhere else."
+
+They picked up their shovels and ran to the other side of the garden. They found a big, open box. They decided to make a fort with the box. They forgot about the mole and had fun again. The mole was happy too. He went back to his hole and slept.
+Lena and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a silver train that could make noises and move on the tracks. They always shared the train and took turns to drive it.
+
+One day, Lena wanted to play with the train, but Tom was already playing with it. She asked him, "Can I have the train, please?" Tom said, "No, I want to play with it. It is my turn."

+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken train and the twins crying. She was very upset and disappointed. She said, "What have you done?

+
+Lena and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had shared the train and played nicely. They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry. I love you."

+
+"Look, Ben, the duck is dirty and sad. Why is he dirty and sad?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know, Anna. Maybe he is hurt. Maybe he needs a bath. Do you want to help him?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, I want to help him. Let's give him a bath. Maybe he will be happy then." Anna says.
+
+Anna and Ben go to the pond. They are careful not to scare the duck. They talk to him softly and gently. They splash some water on him. They rub his feathers with their hands. They wash away the dirt and the hurt. The duck quacks and flaps his wings. He looks clean and happy.
+
+"Look, Anna, the duck is clean and happy. He is not dirty and sad anymore. He likes us. We are his friends." Ben says.
+

+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big bottle of milk on the table. They are hungry and thirsty, so they want to drink some milk.
+
+"Let's get the milk, Ben," Lily says. "It looks yummy."
+
+"OK, Lily," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said the milk is cold and we have to warm it up first."
+
+They climb on the chairs and reach for the bottle. But as they pull it, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot. Spot is barking and running towards them. He wants the milk too.
+
+"Spot, no!" Lily shouts. "This is our milk. Go away!"
+
+But Spot does not listen. He jumps on the table and tries to grab the bottle with his mouth. Lily and Ben are scared. They hold the bottle tight and try to protect it from Spot.
+
+"Bad dog, Spot!" Ben says. "This is not your milk. This is for us. You have your own food."
+
+Spot growls and tugs at the bottle. He is strong and hungry. He does not care what Lily and Ben say. He wants the milk.
+
+Lily and Ben are in trouble. They need help. They call for their mommy.
+
+"Mommy, mommy!" they cry. "Spot is trying to take our milk. Help us, please!"
+
+Mommy hears their cries. She comes to the living room and sees what is happening. She is angry and worried.
+
+"Spot, stop that!" she says. "You are a naughty dog. You cannot have the milk. It is for the children. And it is cold. It will make you sick."
+
+She takes the bottle from Lily and Ben and puts it away. She scolds Spot and makes him go to his bed. She hugs Lily and Ben and kisses them.
+
+"I'm sorry, my darlings," she says. "Are you OK? Did Spot hurt you?"

+Lily and Ben shake their heads. They are OK. They are glad that mommy is here. She protects them from Spot.

+Lily was a child who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a car. She liked to make them talk and do things. She was happy when she played.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Lily, we have to go to the store. Can you raise your toys and put them in the box?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom." But she did not do it. She wanted to play more. She left her toys on the floor and ran to the door.
+
+When they came back from the store, Lily saw that her toys were not on the floor. She looked for them and found them in the trash. She was sad and angry. She said, "Mom, why did you throw away my toys? They are mine!"
+
+Mom said, "Lily, I told you to raise your toys and put them in the box. You did not do it. I thought you did not want them anymore. I am sorry, but they are gone now. You have to listen to me next time."
+
+Lily cried and said, "I am sorry, mom. I did not listen to you. I want my toys back. Please, can we get them back?" Mom hugged her and said, "I am sorry, too, Lily. But we cannot get them back. They are in the big truck now. You have to be more careful with your things. I love you, but you have to learn."
+
+Lily said, "I love you, too, mom. I will learn. I will raise my toys and put them in the box. Can I have a new toy, please?" Mom smiled and said, "Maybe, if you are good. Now, let's go and have some cookies." Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you." They went to the kitchen and had some cookies. Lily was still sad, but she felt better. She learned a lesson.
+Sara liked to play with her mom's makeup. She liked to put red on her lips and pink on her cheeks. She liked to look like a princess. But she did not like when her mom got angry at her for making a mess.
+
+One day, Sara saw her mom's makeup bag on the table. She wanted to play with it. She took it to her room and opened it. She saw many colors and brushes. She started to put them on her face and hair.
+
+But she did not know how to use them. She put too much on her eyes and nose. She made them look black and blue. She used a rough brush and it hurt her skin. She did not like it. She wanted to stop.
+
+She tried to close the bag, but it was too full. She pushed and pulled, but it did not work. She got frustrated and angry. She snapped at the bag. She said, "Close, close, close!"
+
+But the bag did not listen. It snapped back at her. It made a loud noise. It broke open and spilled all the makeup on the floor. Sara was scared and surprised. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and came to her room. She saw the mess and Sara's face. She was shocked and upset. She said, "Sara, what did you do? This is my makeup. You are not supposed to play with it. You ruined it. And you hurt yourself. Look at your face. It is all red and sore."
+
+Sara felt sorry and sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to look like a princess. But I did not know how. The makeup was bad. And the bag was mean. It snapped at me."
+
+Her mom sighed and hugged her. She said, "Sara, you don't need makeup to look like a princess. You are beautiful just the way you are. And the bag was not mean. It was just too full. You snapped at it first. You need to be gentle and careful with things. And you need to ask me before you use my things. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Sara. Now let's clean up this mess and put some cream on your face. And maybe later we can play dress up together. But with no makeup, okay?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you."
+Ben liked to go to the park with his mom. He liked to see the trees, the flowers, and the animals. He liked to feed the pigeons with bread crumbs. He liked to watch them fly and coo.
+
+One day, he saw a pigeon that did not move. It lay on the grass, with its eyes closed and its wings still. Ben felt sad. He wanted to help the pigeon. He urged his mom to come with him. He said, "Mom, look, a pigeon is sick. Can we make it better?"
+
+His mom came with him. She looked at the pigeon. She shook her head. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry, but the pigeon is not sick. It is dead. That means it cannot breathe, or fly, or eat anymore. It is gone."
+
+Ben did not understand. He asked, "Why is it dead? What happened to it? Can we not wake it up?"
+
+His mom hugged him. She said, "Sometimes, animals die. It can be because they are old, or sick, or hurt. We don't always know why. We cannot wake them up. They are not sleeping. They are in a different place now."
+
+Ben felt confused. He felt sorry for the pigeon. He said, "Can we say goodbye to it? Can we bury it?"
+
+His mom nodded. She said, "Yes, we can. That is a nice thing to do. We can find a spot in the dirt, and dig a hole, and put the pigeon in it. We can cover it with dirt, and put a stone on top. We can say a prayer, or a wish, or a thank you. We can remember the pigeon, and how it made us happy."
+
+Ben liked that idea. He helped his mom find a spot, and dig a hole, and put the pigeon in it. He covered it with dirt, and put a stone on top. He said, "Goodbye, pigeon. Thank you for being my friend. I hope you are happy in the different place. I will miss you."
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "That was very kind, Ben. You are a good boy. I'm proud of you."
+
+They held hands, and walked away. They saw other pigeons, flying and cooing. Ben felt a little better. He still liked to feed the pigeons with bread crumbs. He still liked to watch them fly and coo. He also liked to remember the pigeon that was dead, and how it made him happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big rocks and pretend they were ancient explorers. They found a network of cracks and holes in one of the rocks. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a shiny thing!" Lila said, holding a small metal coin. "Maybe it is treasure!"
+
+"Wow, let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the coin. But he slipped and fell off the rock. He scraped his knee and it started to bleed. He cried out in pain.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" Lila asked, jumping down to help him. She saw his wound and felt sorry for him. She remembered what her mom had told her. "Don't worry, Ben, I know how to heal you. You need a band-aid and a hug."
+
+She ran to her backpack and got a band-aid. She put it on Ben's knee and gave him a hug. "There, you are better now. The band-aid will stop the blood and the hug will make you happy."
+
+"Thank you, Lila, you are a good friend," Ben said, smiling. He felt better and hugged her back. "You are a good explorer, too. Can I see the shiny thing again?"
+
+"Sure, here you go," Lila said, handing him the coin. "Maybe it is from a long time ago, when the rocks were new."
+
+"Maybe," Ben said, looking at the coin. "Or maybe it is from a fairy, who left it for us to find."
+
+They laughed and continued to play, happy and curious. They did not know that the coin was indeed ancient, and that it had a secret power. But that is another story.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big mill. It has a wheel that turns and turns. Lily and Tom want to see it.

+"Yes, but you have to be patient. The mill is far away. We have to walk a lot," her mom says.
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They hold hands and follow their mom. They walk and walk. They see birds and flowers and trees. They are happy.
+
+But Tom gets tired. He wants to see the mill now. He lets go of Lily's hand. He runs and runs. He tries to speed to the mill.
+
+"Tom, wait!" Lily shouts. "It is not safe to run alone!"
+
+But Tom does not listen. He runs and runs. He does not see the road. He does not see the car. He hears a loud honk.
+
+Lily and her mom hear it too. They are scared. They run to Tom. They see him on the ground. He is hurt. He cries.
+
+The car stops. The driver gets out. He is sorry. He calls for help.
+
+Lily and her mom hug Tom. They are sad. They wait for the help. They do not see the mill. They do not care about the mill. They only care about Tom.
+Tim and his mom went to the zoo. They saw many animals. Tim liked the lions best. He asked his mom, "What do lions eat?"
+
+Mom said, "Lions eat meat. They hunt other animals and bite them."
+
+Tim said, "Do they cook the meat?"
+
+Mom said, "No, they eat it raw. That means they eat it when it is still red and bloody. That is rare meat."
+
+Tim made a face. He did not like rare meat. He liked his meat cooked and brown. He said, "I do not want to eat like a lion. I want to eat like a human."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Me too. Let's go and find a place to have our meal. We can have some bread and cheese and fruit. How does that sound?"
+
+Tim nodded. He was hungry. He said, "That sounds good. Can we also have some juice?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure. Come on, let's go." They held hands and walked away from the lion cage. Tim was happy. He liked the zoo, but he liked his mom more.

+
+Mommy comes to the window and smiles. She hugs Anna and says, "Yes, sweetheart, that is a rocket. It is going to the moon. Do you know what the moon is?"
+
+Anna nods and points to the big, round, white ball in the sky. She says, "The moon is a big rock that shines at night. It is very far away. Can I go to the moon, Mommy?"
+
+Mommy kisses Anna and says, "Maybe one day, when you are older, you can go to the moon. But for now, you can dream about it. You are my adorable little astronaut. Now, let's go to bed. It is late and you need to sleep."
+
+Anna agrees and follows Mommy to her room. She takes her toy rocket with her and puts it on her pillow. She says goodnight to the rocket and the moon and the stars. She closes her eyes and falls asleep. She dreams of flying to the moon in her rocket and seeing all the wonders of space. She is happy and curious and brave. She is Anna, the astronaut.

+Lily and Ben were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut shapes and make pictures. Lily cut a big circle and said, "Look, this is the sun. It is bright and warm." Ben cut a small circle and said, "No, this is the sun. Mine is better."
+
+Lily and Ben started to argue. They both wanted to have the best sun. They tried to grab each other's paper and scissors. They did not share or say sorry.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the angry faces. She said, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? You are not being nice. You are hurting each other and the paper."
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They knew Mom was right. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were fighting over the sun. We both wanted to have the perfect sun."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "You don't need to fight over the sun. You can both have a perfect sun. Look, you can cut another circle and rub some yellow crayon on it. Then you can stick them together and make a big sun. It will be bright and warm and beautiful."

+
+"Look, there is a big firework!" Lily said, pointing at the sky. She saw a bright star that made a loud boom and then turned into many colors.
+
+Tom covered his ears and hid behind Mom. He did not like the noise and the light. He wanted to go home.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Mom asked, hugging him. "The fireworks are just for fun. They won't hurt you."
+
+Tom shook his head. He did not want to see the fireworks. He wanted to see his teddy bear.
+
+"Can we go home, Mom?" he asked in a small voice.
+
+Mom looked at Dad and Lily. Dad shrugged. He did not mind going home. Lily frowned. She wanted to see more fireworks.
+
+"Please, Mom, can we stay a little longer?" she begged. "The fireworks are so pretty."
+
+Mom thought for a moment. She wanted to make both Lily and Tom happy. She had an idea.
+
+"How about this?" she said. "We can stay for one more firework, and then we can go home. And Tom, you can hold your teddy bear in the car. I brought him for you."
+
+Tom smiled. He liked his teddy bear. He was soft and warm and heavy. He made Tom feel safe.
+
+"Okay, Mom," he said. "But only one more firework."
+
+Lily nodded. She was glad they could stay a little longer. She hoped the next firework would be the biggest and the best.
+
+They all watched the sky and waited for the last firework. When it came, it was a big firework. It made a loud boom and then turned into many colors. It looked like a rainbow.
+
+Lily clapped her hands and cheered. She thought it was the most beautiful firework ever.
+
+Tom squeezed his teddy bear and smiled. He thought it was not so bad after all.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled too. They were happy to see Lily and Tom happy.

+They all got in the car and drove home. They had a good night.
+Lily and Ben were eager to play with the big structure in the park. It had slides, swings, tunnels and ladders. They ran to it and climbed on it, laughing and shouting.
+
+But then they saw Max, the mean boy from their street. He was bigger and stronger than them, and he liked to take things from them. He came to the structure and said, "This is mine. Go away."
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to go away. They liked the structure and wanted to play. They said, "No, this is for everyone. You have to share."
+
+Max got angry and pushed them. He said, "No, this is mine. I don't care about you. You are stupid and small."
+
+Lily and Ben tried to push back, but Max was too strong. He hit them and kicked them and made them cry. He said, "Now go away and leave me alone."
+
+Lily and Ben ran away from the structure, hurt and scared. They looked for their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench nearby. They told them what Max did and how he was mean and did not care.
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We are sorry, Lily and Ben. Max is a bully and he does not know how to play nice. He needs to learn how to care and share. You did nothing wrong. You are brave and kind."
+
+Lily and Ben felt a little better, but they were still sad. They did not want to play with the structure anymore. They wanted to go home and play with their toys. They hoped that Max would not bother them again. They wished that the structure was a happy place, not a scary one.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in winter. They put on warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They go to the park with Mom and Dad.
+
+In the park, they see a big snowman. He has a carrot nose, a scarf, a hat and buttons. Lily and Ben want to say hello to him. They run to the snowman and give him a hug.
+
+But the snowman is not flexible. He is hard and cold. When Lily and Ben hug him, he starts to shake. His nose falls off, his scarf slides down, his hat flies away and his buttons pop off. Lily and Ben are scared. They let go of the snowman and run back to Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad laugh. They tell Lily and Ben that the snowman is not a real person. He is made of snow. Snow is not flexible. It can shake and break. They say it is better to hug real people, like Mom and Dad, or animals, like their dog Spot.
+
+Lily and Ben understand. They hug Mom and Dad and Spot. They are warm and soft. They are flexible. They do not shake or break. Lily and Ben are happy. They say goodbye to the snowman and go home. They have hot chocolate and cookies. They like winter, but they like hugs more.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big boat on the lake. They wanted to go on the boat and see what was there.
+
+They asked a man who was near the boat if they could go. The man said yes, but he had a mean look on his face. He said he would take them to a nice island where they could have fun. Tom and Lily were happy and got on the boat.
+
+But the man lied to them. He did not take them to a nice island. He took them to a gloomy island where it was always dark and cold. There were no trees, no flowers, no animals, no toys, no food, no water, nothing. The man said he would leave them there and never come back. He said he was a bad man who liked to make children sad.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had not gone on the boat. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished someone would come and save them. But no one came. They were alone on the gloomy island. The end.
+Tom was a humble boy who liked to help his mom. He did not show off or brag. He was kind and polite to everyone.
+
+One day, his mom made pizza for dinner. It smelled very good. Tom wanted to eat it right away, but his mom said they had to wait for dad. Dad was working late at the office.
+
+Tom had an idea. He asked his mom if he could carry the pizza to dad's office and surprise him. His mom thought that was a very sweet idea. She wrapped the pizza in foil and put it in a big bag. She gave Tom a map and a bus ticket.
+
+Tom took the bag and the map and went to the bus stop. He was careful not to drop the pizza. He asked the bus driver to tell him when to get off. He followed the map to dad's office. He knocked on the door and said, "Surprise, dad! I brought you pizza!"
+
+Dad was very happy to see Tom. He hugged him and thanked him. He said, "You are such a humble and helpful boy, Tom. I'm so proud of you. You made my day. Let's share this pizza together."

+Tommy was hungry. He wanted toast for breakfast. He asked his mom to make toast for him.
+
+"Okay, Tommy, I will make toast for you. But you have to eat some fruit too. Fruit is good for you," his mom said.
+
+She put some bread in the toaster and some bananas and apples on a plate. She gave the plate to Tommy and told him to sit at the table.
+
+Tommy looked at the fruit. He did not like fruit. He only liked toast. He pushed the plate away and said, "No, thank you. I want toast."
+
+His mom heard the toaster pop. She took out the toast and put some butter and jam on it. She brought the toast to Tommy and said, "Here is your toast, Tommy. But you have to eat some fruit too. If you don't eat some fruit, you can't have toast."
+
+Tommy refused to eat the fruit. He grabbed the toast and tried to bite it. But his mom was faster. She took the toast away from him and said, "No, Tommy, you can't have toast if you don't eat some fruit. That's the rule. You have to eat something healthy before you eat something sweet."
+
+Tommy was angry. He started to cry and scream. He wanted his toast. He did not care about the rule. He did not care about the fruit. He kicked his legs and threw his arms.
+
+His mom was sad. She did not like to see Tommy cry and scream. She wanted him to be happy and healthy. She said, "Tommy, please calm down. You are making a lot of noise. You are not being a good boy. You have to listen to me. I know what is best for you. If you eat some fruit, I will give you your toast. It's not that hard. Just try one bite."
+
+Tommy was quiet. He looked at his mom. He looked at the fruit. He looked at the toast. He was still hungry. He wanted his toast. But he also wanted his mom to be happy. He did not want to make her sad. He thought for a moment. Then he reached for the plate and picked up a banana. He peeled it and took a small bite. He chewed it and swallowed it. It was not so bad. He took another bite. He smiled at his mom.
+
+His mom smiled back. She was proud of Tommy. She said, "Good job, Tommy. You ate some fruit. You are a good boy. You listened to me. Now you can have your toast. Here you go."
+
+She gave the toast to Tommy. He took it and bit it. It was warm and sweet. He liked it. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."

+
+"Who are you?" Tom asks.
+
+"I am Mr. Sour. I hate sweet things. I want to make everything sour with my sugar," the bald man says.
+
+"Why?" Jen asks.
+
+"Because I am bitter. I have no friends. No one likes me," the bald man says.
+
+Tom and Jen feel sorry for him. They have an idea.

+Tom and Lily were very excited. Today was the festival day. They put on their best clothes and went with their mom and dad to the park. There were many people, colors, sounds and smells. Tom and Lily wanted to see everything.
+
+Mom and dad told them to stay close and follow them. They said it was very crowded and they could get lost. Tom and Lily nodded. They were obedient children. They held their mom and dad's hands and followed them.
+
+They saw balloons, clowns, games, animals and music. They ate popcorn, cotton candy, ice cream and hot dogs. They had a lot of fun. They followed their mom and dad to every booth and ride.
+
+But then, Tom saw something shiny. It was a big wheel with lights and prizes. He wanted to play. He let go of his dad's hand and ran to the wheel. He did not follow his dad. He did not see that his dad did not see him.
+
+Lily saw Tom run away. She was scared. She did not want to lose her brother. She called his name and followed him. She did not follow her mom. She did not see that her mom did not see her.
+
+Mom and dad turned around and saw that Tom and Lily were gone. They were worried. They looked everywhere for them. They asked other people if they saw them. They did not find them.
+
+Tom and Lily played at the wheel. They did not win anything. They did not have any money. They did not have any fun. They looked around and saw that they were alone. They did not see their mom and dad. They were sad. They wanted to go back.
+
+They tried to remember the way they came. They walked and walked. They saw many strangers. They did not see their mom and dad. They were scared. They cried.
+
+Mom and dad heard their cries. They ran to them. They hugged them. They were happy. They were angry. They scolded them. They said they should have followed them. They said they should have been obedient. They said they loved them.
+
+Tom and Lily said they were sorry. They said they were foolish. They said they loved them. They promised to follow them. They promised to be obedient.
+
+Mom and dad forgave them. They said they were glad they were safe. They said they still had time to enjoy the festival. They said they would stay together.
+
+They held their hands and followed them. They smiled. They were happy. They were obedient. They were a family.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the big building where they live. They know how to use the elevator. It is easy. You push the button and the door opens. You go inside and push another button. The elevator takes you up or down.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily want to go to the roof. They think it will be fun to see the sky and the birds. They push the button for the elevator. The door opens. They go inside and push the button for the roof. The elevator starts to move.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The elevator makes a loud noise and stops. The lights go off. Tom and Lily are scared. They cry and shout for help. But no one hears them. They are stuck in the elevator.
+
+They wait and wait, but no one comes. They are hungry and thirsty and cold. They hug each other and hope someone will find them. But no one does. The elevator never moves again. Tom and Lily never see the roof or their mom and dad again.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play on the farm. They liked to see the cows, the pigs, and the chickens. They also liked to run in the fields of corn. The corn was tall and green and made a nice sound when the wind blew.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben decided to play hide and seek in the corn. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She walked and walked, but she could not find him. She called his name, but he did not answer. She started to feel scared. Where was Ben?
+
+Ben was hiding in a good spot. He found a hole in the corn where he could see the sky. He was happy and quiet. He did not hear Lily calling him. He did not know she was scared. He waited for her to find him.
+
+Lily walked and walked, but she could not find the way out of the corn. She felt lost and alone. She started to cry. She wanted to see Ben. She wanted to see Mom and Dad. She wanted to go home. She started to panic.
+
+Mom and Dad were busy in the barn. They heard Lily crying. They ran to the corn. They called Lily and Ben. They heard Lily answer. They followed her voice. They found her in the corn. They hugged her and kissed her. They asked her what happened. She told them she could not find Ben. She was sorry.
+
+Mom and Dad told Lily not to worry. They said they would find Ben. They called Ben. They heard him answer. They followed his voice. They found him in the corn. He was smiling and waving. He said he was hiding. He was proud.
+
+Mom and Dad hugged Ben and kissed him. They told him he was a good hider. They also told him he should answer when Lily called him. They said he should not make her scared. He said he was sorry.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other. They said they were sorry. They said they loved each other. They said they would not play hide and seek in the corn again. Mom and Dad smiled. They said they loved them too. They said they would go home and have some corn for dinner. Lily and Ben agreed. They liked corn. They held hands and walked out of the corn. They were happy.
+Mia and Sam are friends. They like to play in the snow. Mia has a red mitten and Sam has a blue mitten. They make a snowman and a snow fort.
+
+"Let's walk to the park and slide on the ice," Mia says. She is bossy. She always tells Sam what to do.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful. The ice is slippery," Sam says. He is not bossy. He likes to listen and follow.
+
+They walk to the park. They hold hands. They see other kids sliding on the ice. They look happy and fast.
+
+"Come on, Sam. Let's slide too," Mia says. She pulls Sam to the ice. She does not wait for him.
+
+"Wait, Mia. I need to tie my shoe," Sam says. He bends down. He lets go of Mia's hand.
+
+Mia does not hear Sam. She runs to the ice. She slides. She laughs. She does not see the big rock. She hits the rock. She falls. She cries.
+
+Sam hears Mia. He runs to the ice. He slides. He stops. He helps Mia. He hugs her.
+
+"Are you OK, Mia?" Sam asks. He is worried.
+
+"My mitten is gone. And my hand hurts," Mia says. She is sad.

+
+Mia takes the mitten. She puts it on her hand. She smiles.

+
+They slide together. They have fun. They are friends.
+Tommy liked to eat potatoes. He liked them mashed, fried, or baked. But he did not like them boiled. Boiled potatoes were soft and wet and had no taste. Tommy always complained when his mom made boiled potatoes for dinner.
+
+One day, his mom said, "Tommy, I have a surprise for you. I made something original with the potatoes. You will love it, I promise." Tommy was curious. He hoped it was not boiled potatoes again.
+
+When his mom brought the plates to the table, Tommy saw something round and brown on his plate. It looked like a ball. His mom said, "This is a potato ball. I mixed the boiled potatoes with cheese and bread crumbs and baked them in the oven. They are crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside. Try one, Tommy."
+
+Tommy was doubtful. He poked the potato ball with his fork. It made a crunchy sound. He cut a small piece and put it in his mouth. It was warm and gooey and delicious. He smiled and said, "Mmm, this is good, mom. I like potato balls. They are original and yummy. Can I have another one, please?"
+
+His mom was happy. She said, "Of course, Tommy. I'm glad you like them. You see, sometimes you have to try new things. You might discover something you love." Tommy nodded and ate another potato ball. He did not complain anymore. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that boiled potatoes can be original and yummy, too.
+Sam was a poor boy who lived in a small house with his mom and dad. He liked to help his mom with the chores, but he did not like to polish the old shoes. He thought they were dirty and smelly, and he wished he had new shoes like his friends.
+
+One day, as he was polishing a shoe, he saw a tiny ant crawling on the floor. He stopped and watched the ant. It was carrying a crumb bigger than itself. Sam wondered where the ant was going and what it was doing.
+
+"Hello, ant," he said softly. "Are you hungry? Do you want some of my bread?"
+
+The ant did not answer. It kept walking with the crumb. Sam followed it with his eyes. He saw that the ant was heading to a small hole in the wall. He guessed that the ant had a family there, and that it was bringing food to them.
+
+"Wow, you are very brave and strong, ant," he said. "You work hard for your family. You are not poor, you are rich in love."
+
+The ant stopped for a moment and looked at Sam. It seemed to nod and smile. Then it went into the hole with the crumb.
+
+Sam felt a warm feeling in his heart. He realized that he was not poor either. He had a family that loved him, and he could help them with the chores. He picked up the shoe and polished it with a smile. He thought that maybe the ant was his friend.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and make mud pies. But sometimes Tom liked to tease Lily. He would take her mud pies and throw them away. He would say, "Your mud pies are ugly and yucky. Mine are better."
+
+Lily would get sad and angry. She would cry and say, "Stop it, Tom. That's not nice. Give me back my mud pies."
+
+One day, Tom threw Lily's mud pies so hard that they hit a big rock. The rock broke and a cloud of dust came out. The dust made Tom and Lily cough and sneeze. They could not see anything. They felt scared and lost.
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted. "Where are you, Lily? Where are you, Tom?"
+
+They heard a voice. It was their mom. She came to the garden and saw them covered in dust. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. What happened?"
+
+Tom and Lily told her what happened. Tom felt sorry for teasing Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. I won't tease you anymore. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily was compassionate. She forgave Tom. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you're sorry. We can be friends. But don't throw my mud pies again."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, Lily. And that's very good of you, Tom. Now let's go inside and wash the dust off. Then we can have some cookies and milk."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and followed Mom. They held hands and said, "We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Tom and Lily."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big dog with a ball in his mouth. The dog was happy and wagged his tail.
+
+"Can we play with the dog?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"OK, but be careful. He might bite," Ben said.
+
+They went to the dog and said hello. The dog licked their faces and dropped the ball. Lily and Ben threw the ball and the dog ran to catch it. They had fun.
+
+But then a mean boy came. He had a stick and a rag. He wanted the ball. He hit the dog with the stick and took the ball. He threw the rag at the dog and laughed.
+
+"Hey, stop that! That's not nice!" Lily shouted.
+
+The dog was scared and hurt. He barked and growled. The mean boy ran away with the ball. He was spoiled and rude.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the dog. They hugged him and said sorry. They gave him the rag to play with. The dog liked the rag. He wagged his tail again.
+
+"You are a good dog. We will save you from the mean boy," Ben said.
+
+The dog licked their faces and followed them. They went to find their mom and dad. They told them what happened. Their mom and dad were proud of them. They said they could keep the dog if they wanted.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They named the dog Rag. They loved him and he loved them. They were a family.
+Lily was a naughty dog. She liked to run away from her home and chase cats and birds. She did not listen to her owner, Sam, who always called her name and tried to catch her. Lily wore a red collar with a tag that had her name and Sam's phone number on it, but she did not care.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big, fluffy cat sitting on a fence. She barked and ran towards it, hoping to catch it and play with it. The cat hissed and jumped off the fence, but Lily followed it. She did not see the car that was coming fast on the road. The car hit Lily and made a loud noise. Lily felt a lot of pain and fell to the ground. The cat ran away.
+
+Sam heard the noise and ran out of his house. He saw Lily lying on the road, not moving. He cried and ran to her. He picked her up and hugged her. He saw blood on her fur and on her collar. He felt her heart and it was not beating. He said, "Lily, Lily, wake up! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I love you!" But Lily did not wake up. She was gone.
+
+The driver of the car got out and saw what happened. He felt very guilty and sorry. He said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't see her, I tried to stop, I'm so sorry!" He wanted to help, but he did not know what to do. He called the police and waited for them to come.
+
+Sam did not say anything to the driver. He just held Lily and cried. He wished he had kept her on a leash. He wished he had taught her to stay. He wished he had twisted her collar and made her look at him. He wished he had said goodbye. He wished he had a different story.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today, Mom says they have to do some work. She gives them a big basket of socks. She says they have to match the socks and make pairs.
+
+Lily and Tom do not like this work. They think it is boring and difficult. They start to complain.
+
+"Mom, why do we have to do this work?" Lily asks.
+
+"Because it is good to help with the chores," Mom says.
+
+"But it is hard to find the same socks," Tom says.
+
+"Look at the colors and the patterns," Mom says. "You can do it."
+
+Lily and Tom try to do the work. But they still complain. They say the socks are too many, too small, too big, too dirty, too fuzzy, too slippery, too tight, too loose, or too ugly.
+
+Mom hears them complain. She is not happy. She says they have to finish the work before they can play. She says they have to be grateful for what they have. She says some children do not have any socks at all.
+
+Lily and Tom feel sorry. They do not want to make Mom sad. They stop complaining. They start to match the socks. They find some socks that are pretty, soft, warm, and cozy. They make pairs and put them in the basket. They finish the work.
+
+Mom sees them finish the work. She is proud of them. She says they did a good job. She says they can play now. She gives them a hug and a kiss.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They thank Mom. They take their toys and books. They go to play. They do not complain anymore. They think the work was not so difficult after all.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but sometimes they got bored. One day, they saw a big window in their room that they had never opened before. They wondered what was outside.
+
+"Let's open the window and see!" Ben said. He was curious and brave.
+
+"No, we can't do that!" Lily said. She was careful and bossy. "Mom and Dad said we should never open the window. It is not safe. We could fall or get lost."
+
+But Ben did not listen to Lily. He climbed on a chair and pushed the window. It opened with a creak. He saw a big tree and a bird and a cloud. He smiled and reached out his hand.
+
+"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" Ben said. He wanted to share his discovery.
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She did not want to go near the window. She wanted to close it and play with her toys. She pulled Ben's leg and shouted.
+
+"Stop, Ben, stop! You are being naughty and silly! Come down now!"
+
+But Ben did not listen to Lily. He wanted to touch the bird and the cloud. He leaned out of the window and lost his balance. He fell with a thud.
+
+Lily screamed and ran to Ben. He was lying on the ground and crying. He had a bump on his head and a scratch on his arm. Lily felt sorry and scared. She hugged Ben and said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry! Are you okay? Please don't cry!"
+
+Ben stopped crying and hugged Lily back. He said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry! I should have listened to you. You were right. The window was not safe. I was being naughty and silly."
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. They saw Ben and Lily on the ground and the window open. They were shocked and worried. They picked up Ben and Lily and took them inside. They checked their injuries and gave them a hug and a kiss. They said.
+
+"We're glad you're okay, Ben and Lily. But you should never open the window without us. It is very dangerous. You could have been hurt more or worse. You have to follow the rules and listen to each other. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said.
+
+"Yes, Mom and Dad, we understand. We're sorry. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and said.
+
+"We love you, Ben and Lily. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk. And then you can play with your toys and books. But no more window adventures, okay?"
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and said.
+
+"Okay, Mom and Dad. We love you too."
+
+The moral of the story is: You should follow the rules and listen to each other for your own safety and happiness.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to go to the zoo and see the animals. Lily's favorite animal is the hippo. She thinks it is cute and funny. Ben likes the hippo too, but he also likes the monkeys and the lions.
+
+One day, they go to the zoo with their moms. They see the monkeys swing from the trees and the lions roar. They have fun and learn new things. Then they go to see the hippo. The hippo is in the water, splashing and playing. Lily and Ben wave at the hippo and say hello.
+
+The hippo sees them and comes closer. It opens its big mouth and shows its teeth. Lily and Ben are not scared. They know the hippo is friendly and just wants to say hello too. They laugh and clap their hands. The hippo makes a loud noise and sprays water from its nose. Lily and Ben get wet and laugh even more. Their moms laugh too and take pictures of them.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They love the hippo and the zoo. They hug each other and say thank you to their moms. They say goodbye to the hippo and promise to come back soon. The hippo waves back and smiles. It is happy too. It likes Lily and Ben and their laughter.
+Lily and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be a king and a queen. Lily wears a crown and a dress. Ben wears a cape and a hat.
+
+They sit on the sofa and pretend it is a throne. Lily says, "I am the queen. You are the king. We need someone to serve us." Ben says, "Yes, we do. Who can serve us?" They look around the room. They see their dog, Max. Max is hairy and friendly. He likes to play, too.
+
+Lily and Ben call Max. They say, "Max, come here. You can be our servant. You can bring us food and toys." Max wags his tail and runs to them. He is happy to join the game. He picks up a ball in his mouth and brings it to Lily. He drops it on her lap. Lily says, "Thank you, Max. You are a good servant. This is a nice ball." She throws the ball and Max chases it.
+
+Max comes back with the ball and brings it to Ben. He drops it on his lap. Ben says, "Thank you, Max. You are a good servant. This is a nice ball." He throws the ball and Max chases it.
+

+Lily was a brave sheep. She liked to run and play with her friends in the green field. She had soft white wool that kept her warm and cozy.
+
+One day, a big bad wolf came to the field. He wanted to eat the sheep for his lunch. He saw Lily and licked his lips. He ran towards her, showing his sharp teeth and growling.
+
+Lily was scared, but she did not run away. She had an idea. She quickly found a big bush and hid behind it. She used her wool to cover the bush and make it look like a big sheep.
+
+The wolf saw the bush and thought it was Lily. He jumped on it and bit it hard. But he only got a mouthful of leaves and twigs. He spat them out and howled in pain.
+
+Lily came out from behind the bush and baaed loudly. The other sheep heard her and came to help. They all ran at the wolf and chased him away. The wolf ran as fast as he could and never came back.
+
+Lily was very happy and proud. She had tricked the wolf and saved herself and her friends. The other sheep cheered for her and thanked her. They all hugged her and said she was the bravest sheep in the field.

+
+"Mom, can I have this?" Lily asked. She pointed to a pretty doll. The doll had a pink dress and yellow hair.
+
+Mom looked at the doll. She smiled. "That is a nice doll, Lily. But we have to pay for it. Do you have any money?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not have any money. She felt sad.
+
+Mom saw Lily's face. She whispered in her ear. "Don't worry, Lily. I have a surprise for you. Wait here for a minute. I will be right back."
+
+Lily waited. She wondered what the surprise was. She hoped it was something good.
+
+Mom came back. She had a bag in her hand. She gave it to Lily. "Here you go, Lily. This is for you. Open it and see."

+Lily and Mom left the market. They walked home. Lily held the doll. She whispered to it. "You are my new friend. I will call you Daisy. I will take good care of you."
+Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They run and jump and swing and slide. One day, they see a big hole in the fence. They want to see what is on the other side.
+
+They crawl through the hole and find a wild place. There are many trees and flowers and bugs and birds. They hear a loud roar. They look and see a big, ugly animal. It has sharp teeth and claws and fur. It is a bear!
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They run back to the hole. But the bear is faster. It chases them and growls. They think they are in trouble.
+
+But then, they see a man. He has a hat and a gun and a badge. He is a ranger. He sees the bear and the children. He shouts and shoots in the air. The bear is scared too. It runs away.
+
+The ranger helps Tom and Mia through the hole. He tells them they are brave, but they should not go to the wild place. It is not safe. There are many ugly animals there. He takes them to their mom and dad. They hug them and thank the ranger.

+Lily nods and says, "Yes, I like cars too. Can I see your book?" Tom says, "Yes, you can see it. But you have to be careful. It is my new book. Do not rip it or spill juice on it." Lily says, "OK, I will be careful. Can I lend your book for one day? I want to show it to my mom and dad. They like cars too."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He likes Lily, but he also likes his book. He says, "OK, you can lend my book for one day. But you have to give it back to me tomorrow. Tomorrow is my birthday. I will have a party. You can come to my party and bring my book back. Do you want to come to my party?"

+
+"Boo!" Lily said, as she jumped out from behind a tree. Ben screamed and ran away. He laughed and said, "You are a scary ghost, Lily!"
+
+"Your turn, Ben!" Lily said, as she gave him the sheet. Ben put on the sheet and looked for a good hiding spot. He saw a dark shed in the backyard. He thought it would be a good place to scare Lily.
+
+He went inside the shed and waited for Lily. He heard her footsteps coming closer. He got ready to say "Boo!" But before he could, he heard a loud noise. It was a real ghost! It was big and black and had red eyes. It said, "Who are you? This is my shed!"
+
+Ben was very scared. He dropped the sheet and ran out of the shed. He shouted, "Lily, Lily, help! There is a real ghost in the shed!"
+
+Lily heard Ben and ran to him. She saw the real ghost coming out of the shed. She was scared too. She grabbed Ben's hand and said, "Let's go, Ben! Let's go to the house! It is safe there!"
+
+They ran to the house and locked the door. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry, ghost. We did not mean to bother you. We were just playing."
+
+The real ghost heard them and felt sorry too. He said, "I am sorry, kids. I did not mean to scare you. I was just lonely. I have no friends to play with."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the ghost too. They said, "Do you want to play with us, ghost? We can be your friends."
+
+The ghost smiled and said, "Yes, I would like that. Thank you, kids. You are very kind."
+
+They opened the door and invited the ghost in. They played ghost together and had fun. They learned that even ghosts can be friendly and that playing is more fun when you share.

+
+The girl said, "My name is Lily. Thank you, Sam." Sam smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I like your name. It is a pretty flower." He took the bike to his workbench and started to fix it. He tightened the chain and pumped the tire. He also cleaned the bike and put a sticker on it.
+
+He gave the bike back to Lily and said, "Here you go, Lily. Your bike is fixed and shiny. Now you can ride it again." Lily was very happy and said, "Thank you, Sam.

+Sam waved back and said, "Goodbye, Lily. Have a nice day." He felt happy and proud. He liked to help people and make them smile. He was a wise and good mechanic.
+Lila was a princess who lived in a big palace. She liked to play with her dolls and her dog, but she was lonely. She wanted a friend who could talk to her and make her laugh.
+
+One day, a prince came to visit the palace. His name was Ben and he had a big smile. He brought Lila a gift: a book with pictures and stories. Lila was happy and thanked him. They decided to read the book together in the garden.
+
+As they read, they saw a picture of a fierce dragon. It had sharp teeth and claws and fire in its mouth. Lila was scared and hugged Ben. Ben said, "Don't worry, Lila. I will protect you from the dragon. I am brave and strong." He kissed her on the cheek and made her giggle.
+
+Lila and Ben became good friends. They read more books, played games, and explored the palace. They also kissed each other a lot, because they liked each other very much. They were happy and not lonely anymore. They lived in the palace and had many adventures.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy yacht in the pond. They made it sail and splash and pretend to be pirates. One day, a big boy came and saw their yacht. He wanted to play with it too, but he did not ask. He just took it from Ben and ran away.
+
+Ben and Mia were sad and angry. They ran after the big boy and shouted, "Give it back! That is our yacht!" But the big boy was faster and he did not listen. He went to the river and threw the yacht in the water. He laughed and said, "Now it is mine!"
+
+But the river was not like the pond. It was deep and fast and scary. The yacht was too small and it sank. The big boy tried to get it back, but he could not. He got wet and cold and scared. He cried and said, "Help! Help!"
+
+Ben and Mia saw what happened. They felt sorry for the big boy, even though he was mean. They ran to get help from a grown-up. The grown-up came and pulled the big boy out of the river. He was safe, but he was sorry. He said, "I am sorry. I should not have taken your yacht. It was wrong and mean. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They forgave the big boy, but they were still sad about their yacht. The grown-up said, "Don't worry. I will buy you a new yacht. And maybe you can teach the big boy how to play nicely and share." Ben and Mia smiled. They learned that it is not good to take things that are not yours, and that it is good to help others who are in trouble.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the living room. They saw a big envelope on the table. It had a red stamp and a lot of writing on it.
+
+"What is this?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a letter for Mom and Dad," Tom said.
+
+"Can we open it?" Sara wondered.
+
+"No, we can't. That's not honest. We have to wait for them to come home," Tom said.
+
+But Sara was curious. She wanted to see what was inside the envelope. She took it from the table and ran to the kitchen. Tom followed her.
+
+"Stop, Sara! Give it back!" Tom shouted.
+
+Sara ignored him. She found a pair of scissors and cut the envelope. She pulled out a piece of paper. It had a picture of a house and some numbers on it.
+
+"Look, Tom! It's a house! Maybe Mom and Dad want to buy it!" Sara said.
+
+Tom looked at the paper. He saw a word he knew. It said "burn".
+
+"Sara, this is not a house. This is a bill. Mom and Dad have to pay money for the fire. Remember the fire? It burned our old house. We have to live here now," Tom said.
+
+Sara felt sad. She remembered the fire. It was scary and loud. She dropped the paper and the envelope. She hugged Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't know. I was not honest. I was bad," Sara said.
+
+Tom hugged her back.
+
+"It's okay, Sara. I forgive you. But we have to tell Mom and Dad what we did. Maybe they can fix it," Tom said.
+
+They heard the door open. Mom and Dad came home. They saw the envelope and the paper on the floor. They looked at Sara and Tom.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+Lily was a young girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a book. She liked to make up stories with her toys and pretend they were her friends.
+
+One day, she saw a big box in the living room. She was curious and wanted to see what was inside. She climbed on the sofa and reached for the box. But the box was too heavy and it fell on the floor with a loud bang. Lily was scared and started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the box and the toys on the floor. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, you are in trouble. You should not touch things that are not yours. You could have hurt yourself or broken something. Go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She picked up her toys and went to her room. She hugged her doll and said, "I did not mean to be bad. I just wanted to see the box. I wonder what was inside."
+
+Her doll said, "Don't worry, Lily. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You can say sorry to your mom and ask her to show you the box. Maybe it is a surprise for you. You are a good girl and you can learn from your trouble."
+
+Lily smiled and felt better. She liked her doll. Her doll was kind and smart. Her doll encouraged her to be brave and honest. She said, "Thank you, doll. You are a good friend. I will do what you say. I hope mom is not too mad at me."
+
+She got up and went to the living room. She saw her mom sitting on the sofa. She said, "Mom, I am sorry I touched the box. I was curious and I did not think. I will not do it again. Can you please show me what is inside the box?"
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I am glad you are sorry, Lily. I forgive you. You are a young girl and you are still learning. I love you very much. The box is a gift for you. It is a new dress for your doll. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Lily was surprised and happy. She said, "Yes, please. Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can I try it on my doll?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course. Let's go to your room and have some fun. You and your doll can have a fashion show."
+
+Lily and her mom went to her room. They opened the box and took out the dress. It was pink and sparkly. Lily loved it. She put it on her doll and said, "Wow, you look beautiful, doll. You are the star of the show."
+
+Her doll said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very sweet. I love you and I love my new dress. You are the best friend I ever had."
+
+Lily and her mom played with the doll and the other toys. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the trouble and enjoyed the surprise. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But they also liked to skip around the big fence that surrounded the park. They wanted to see what was on the other side.
+
+One day, they saw a big house with a lot of windows and a shiny car. They wondered who lived there and what they had inside. They decided to skip over the fence and take a look. They thought it would be a fun escape from the park.
+
+They ran across the lawn and peeked through a window. They saw a lot of toys, books and clothes. They also saw a big cake on a table. They thought the people who lived there were very wealthy and lucky. They wished they could have some of the cake.
+
+"Hey, you two, what are you doing here?" a voice shouted. They turned around and saw a man with a angry face. He was wearing a suit and holding a phone. He looked like he owned the house. He was not happy to see them.
+
+"Sorry, mister, we were just looking," Anna said. She was scared and wanted to leave.
+
+"Looking? You were trespassing on my property! You are naughty children! Go away or I'll call the police!" the man yelled. He waved his phone at them.
+
+Anna and Ben did not wait for him to call the police. They ran back to the fence and skipped over it. They ran all the way to the park and did not look back. They decided they did not want to escape from the park anymore. They liked the park better than the big house. They had each other and that was enough.
+Lily liked to polish her shoes. She wanted them to shine like the sun. She used a soft cloth and some water to make them clean. She was very proud of her shoes.
+
+One day, she saw a sweater in the shop window. It was red and blue and had a big star on it. Lily thought it was the most beautiful sweater ever. She wanted to have it. She asked her mom to buy it for her.
+
+But her mom said no. She said they had no money for a new sweater. She said Lily had many sweaters at home. She said Lily should be happy with what she had. Lily was very sad and angry. She did not listen to her mom.
+
+She decided to take the sweater by herself. She waited until the shopkeeper was busy. Then she ran inside and grabbed the sweater. She put it on and ran out of the shop. She thought she was very clever.
+
+But she was not. The shopkeeper saw her and shouted. He ran after her and caught her. He was very mad. He took the sweater off her and called the police. Lily was very scared. She cried and said she was sorry. But it was too late. The police came and took her away. She had to go to a bad place where they punished her.
+
+Lily learned a hard lesson. She learned that stealing was wrong. She learned that she should be grateful for what she had. She learned that polishing her shoes was not enough to make her happy. She wished she had listened to her mom.
+Lily loved to fold paper. She learned how to make animals, flowers, and stars from her big sister. She liked to show her paper creations to her mom and dad, who always gave her a hug and a smile as a reward.
+
+One day, Lily found a big sheet of paper on the table. It was shiny and colorful, and had many words and pictures on it. Lily thought it was a perfect paper to fold. She did not know that it was a map that her dad needed for his work.
+
+She took the paper and started to fold it into a big bird. She was so happy and proud of her bird that she did not hear her dad coming into the room.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" her dad asked in a loud voice. He saw the paper bird and the torn map on the table. He was very angry and sad. He had to use the map for an important meeting, and now it was ruined.
+
+Lily felt guilty. She did not mean to make her dad upset. She wanted to make him happy with her bird. She started to cry and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to fold paper. I like to fold paper. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Her dad sighed and hugged her. He was still angry, but he loved his daughter. He said, "I know you like to fold paper, Lily, but you have to be careful. You can't fold any paper you find. Some papers are important and have a purpose. You have to ask before you fold them. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, dad. I understand. I won't fold any paper without asking. I'm sorry I broke your map. Can I still fold paper?"
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "Yes, you can still fold paper, but only with your own paper. Here, I have some paper for you. You can fold it as much as you want. And maybe you can teach me how to make a bird like yours. It's very beautiful."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, dad. I love you. I will teach you how to fold a bird. It's easy and fun."
+
+They hugged and started to fold paper together. Lily learned her lesson and never folded paper without asking again. She also learned how to make her dad happy with her paper creations.
+Tom and Lily liked to bake with Mom. They helped her mix flour, eggs, butter and sugar in a big bowl. Mom said sugar was sweet and made cakes yummy. Tom and Lily wanted to taste some sugar, so they took a spoon and dipped it in the bowl.
+
+But Mom saw them and said, "No, no, sugar is not for eating now. It is for baking. If you eat too much sugar, you will get a tummy ache. And you will spoil your dinner. Put the spoon back in the bowl, please."
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They wanted to eat some sugar. They waited until Mom was busy putting the cake in the oven. Then they sneaked to the bowl and took another spoon of sugar. They put it in their mouths and smiled. It was so sweet and jolly!
+
+But then they felt something hot and ouchy on their tongues. They spit out the sugar and cried. Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the sugar on the floor and on their faces. She said, "Oh, no, you ate some sugar that was burned. It was on the bottom of the bowl, where the mixer was. It was not sweet and jolly, it was bitter and ouchy. I'm sorry, my loves. Let me get you some water and a hug."
+
+Tom and Lily drank some water and hugged Mom. They said they were sorry for eating the sugar. Mom said it was okay, but they should listen to her next time. She said the cake was ready and it smelled good. She said they could have a small piece after dinner, if they ate their veggies. Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They did not want to eat burned sugar ever again.
+Tommy likes to play in the garden. He likes to dig and look for bugs. One day, he finds a big hole in the ground. He wonders what is inside. He puts his hand in the hole and feels something soft and furry.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" Tommy asks. He hears a squeak and pulls out a chubby bunny. The bunny has long ears and a twitchy nose. He is holding a carrot in his mouth. Tommy thinks he is very cute.
+
+"I am Fluffy," the bunny says. "I live in this hole. I like to eat carrots. They are yummy and crunchy. Do you like carrots?"
+
+"I like carrots too," Tommy says. "They are good for your eyes. My mom says so. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+"Yes, I want to be your friend," Fluffy says. "You are nice and gentle. Can I play with you?"
+
+"Of course you can," Tommy says. "We can play in the garden. I have a ball and a truck and a shovel. We can have fun together."
+
+Tommy and Fluffy are very happy. They have met a new friend. They share the carrot and play in the sun. They laugh and hop and roll. They are the best of friends.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big stand with many toys. The man at the stand said, "You can borrow any toy you want, but you have to return it in one hour."
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They picked a doll and a car. They played with them for a long time. They forgot to look at the clock.
+
+The man at the stand was angry. He came to find them. He said, "You did not return the toys. You are bad children. You have to pay me a lot of money."
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They did not have any money. They said, "We are sorry. We did not mean to be bad. Please let us go."
+
+The man at the stand did not listen. He grabbed their hands and dragged them to his van. He said, "You are coming with me. You will work for me until you pay me back."
+
+Lily and Tom cried. They wished they had been wise and returned the toys on time. They learned a hard lesson. They never saw their parents or the park again.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a long nose and a fluffy tail. Tim and Sam want to pet the dog.
+
+"Can we touch the dog?" Tim asks Sam.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Sam says.
+
+They look around and see a lady sitting on a bench. She has a book and a cup. She does not watch the dog.
+
+"Let's go and ask her," Sam says.
+
+They run to the lady and say hello. The lady smiles and says hello back.
+
+"Can we pet your dog?" Tim asks.
+
+"Sure, you can. His name is Max. He is very friendly and warm. But be careful, he likes to lick your nose," the lady says.
+
+Tim and Sam thank the lady and go to Max. They stroke his fur and scratch his ears. Max wags his tail and licks their noses. Tim and Sam giggle and hug Max.
+
+They have fun with Max until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the lady and Max. They learn that dogs are nice and that they should always ask before touching them. They are happy and proud of themselves.
+Lily and Tom went to the big water with Mom and Dad. They saw many fish and birds and boats. They also saw a dolphin. The dolphin was gray and smooth and had a big smile. It jumped out of the water and made a loud sound.
+
+"Wow, look at the dolphin!" Lily said. "It is so happy and funny!"
+
+"Do you want to touch the dolphin?" Mom asked. She took Lily and Tom to a place where they could feed and pet the dolphins.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Tom said. They were very excited.
+
+They gave the dolphin some fish and stroked its skin. It felt wet and slippery. The dolphin liked the fish and the touch. It made more sounds and nodded its head.
+
+"Hello, dolphin!" Tom said. "You are very nice. What is your name?"
+
+The dolphin made a sound that sounded like "Eee-ee-ee". Lily and Tom laughed.
+
+"Your name is Eee-ee-ee?" Lily asked. "That is a funny name. We like you, Eee-ee-ee."
+
+The dolphin nodded again and splashed some water on them. Lily and Tom squealed and splashed back.
+
+They had a lot of fun with the dolphin. They did not want to leave. But Mom and Dad said it was time to go.
+
+"Bye, Eee-ee-ee!" Lily and Tom said. "We will remember you. You are our friend."
+
+The dolphin waved its tail and made a sound that sounded like "Bye-bye". Lily and Tom waved back and smiled.
+
+They left the big water and went back to the car. They were happy and tired. They talked about the dolphin all the way home.
+
+They dreamed of the dolphin that night. They hoped to see it again someday. They never forgot Eee-ee-ee, the gray and smooth and happy dolphin.
+Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Their room is modern. It has a big bed, a blue rug, a white desk and a yellow lamp.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the hall. It has a sticker that says "Fragile". Sam and Mia are curious. They want to see what is inside the box.
+
+"Let's open it!" Sam says.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Mia says.
+
+They drag the box to their room. They use scissors to cut the tape. They lift the lid. Inside the box, they see a shiny vase. It has flowers and birds on it. It is very pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sam says.
+
+"It's so nice!" Mia says.
+
+They take the vase out of the box. They put it on the floor. They admire it.
+
+"Can I hold it?" Sam asks.
+
+"Me too!" Mia says.
+
+They both reach for the vase. They pull it from each other. The vase slips from their hands. It falls to the floor. It breaks into many pieces. It makes a loud noise.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Sam and Mia say.
+
+They hear footsteps. Their mom comes to their room. She sees the broken vase. She sees the box. She sees the sticker. She is angry.
+
+"Sam! Mia! What have you done?" she asks.
+
+"We're sorry, mom!" Sam and Mia say.
+
+They start to cry. They hug each other.
+
+Mom sighs. She picks up the pieces. She puts them in the box. She takes the box away. She tells Sam and Mia to stay in their room.
+
+She says, "That vase was a gift from grandma. It was very old and very special. You should not have touched it. You should not have split it. You should have asked me first."
+
+Sam and Mia feel bad. They say sorry again. They promise to be good. They hope mom will forgive them. They hope grandma will not be sad. They learn a lesson. They do not touch things that are not theirs. They do not split things that are fragile. They do not put things on the floor that can break.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many boxes. The truck driver says he is going to deliver the boxes to a camp. Tom and Jen want to see the camp.
+
+They ask the truck driver if they can go with him. The truck driver says yes, but they have to be quiet and sit still. Tom and Jen are happy. They get in the truck and buckle up. The truck driver starts the engine and drives away.
+
+The truck goes on a long road. Tom and Jen look out the window. They see trees and hills and cows and horses. They think the road is fun. They wonder what the camp will be like. They hope it will have swings and slides and tents and fires.
+
+But when the truck arrives at the camp, Tom and Jen are disappointed. The camp is not a fun camp. It is a dull camp. It has no swings or slides or tents or fires. It only has more boxes and more trucks and more people in uniforms. The truck driver says this is a camp for soldiers. He says they have to work hard and train hard and be ready for war.
+
+Tom and Jen do not like the camp. They think it is scary and boring. They want to go back to the park. They ask the truck driver if he can take them back. The truck driver says he is sorry, but he has to deliver more boxes to another camp. He says they have to wait for another truck to come and pick them up. He says it will take a long time.
+
+Tom and Jen are sad. They wish they never got in the truck. They wish they stayed in the park. They wish they never saw the dull camp. They learn a lesson. They learn that not all camps are fun. They learn that sometimes it is better to play with what you have than to look for something else. They learn that they should be careful what they wish for.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big pile of black rocks. Sam said, "Let's play with the rocks. They look fun."
+
+Lily said, "No, Sam. Those are not rocks. Those are coal. Coal is for the fire. We should not touch it. It is dirty and hot."
+
+Sam did not listen. He picked up a piece of coal and threw it in the air. He tried to catch it, but it fell on his hand. He cried, "Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurts!"
+
+Lily ran to him and said, "Sam, are you okay? Let me see your hand." She saw a red mark on his hand. She said, "You have a burn. We need to remove the coal from your hand. Come on, let's go to Mommy. She will help you."
+
+Sam nodded. He was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I should have listened to you. Coal is not for playing. Coal is for the fire."
+
+Lily hugged him and said, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. But next time, be careful. Coal can hurt you. Let's go to Mommy now." They held hands and walked to the house. Mommy saw them and said, "What happened, my loves?" She took Sam's hand and put some cream on it. She said, "Don't worry, Sam. It will heal soon. But you have to be more careful. Coal is not a toy. It is for the fire. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, Mommy. I understand. I'm sorry. I won't play with coal again. I love you, Mommy."
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "I love you too, Sam. And I love you, Lily. You are a good sister. You helped Sam. You are very smart."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you too. Can we have a cookie now?"
+
+Mommy laughed and said, "Of course, you can. You deserve a treat. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." She hugged them and led them to the kitchen. They had a cookie and a glass of milk. They were happy. They learned a lesson. Coal is not for playing. Coal is for the fire.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big puddle of mud. Sara wanted to splash in it. Tom did not.
+
+"Come on, Tom, it is fun!" Sara said. She ran to the puddle and jumped in. She made a big splash. Mud went on her dress and her hair and her face. She laughed.
+
+"No, Sara, it is not fun. It is dirty. Mama will be angry," Tom said. He stayed away from the puddle. He wore his new boots. They were shiny and tidy. He liked them.
+
+Sara did not listen to Tom. She jumped in the puddle again and again. She got more and more muddy. She did not care. She thought it was fun.
+
+Then, Mama came to the park. She saw Sara and Tom. She was not happy. She scolded Sara for being so messy. She said she had to wash her dress and her hair and her face. She said she had to go home right away.
+
+Sara looked at Mama. She looked at Tom. He was clean and tidy. He did not get scolded. He smiled at her. Sara felt bad. She wished she had not jumped in the puddle. She wished she had listened to Tom. She wished she had kept her dress and her hair and her face clean. She regretted being so naughty. She said sorry to Mama. She said sorry to Tom. She learned her lesson. She hoped Mama would forgive her. She hoped Tom would still play with her. She hoped she could still have fun. But not in the mud.

+They went to a big store with many dresses. Anna saw a pink dress with flowers. She loved it. She asked her mom if she could try it on. Her mom said yes. They went to a small room with a mirror. Anna put on the dress. She looked at herself. She felt like a princess.
+
+She came out of the room to show her mom. Her mom smiled and said she looked beautiful. Anna wanted to keep the dress. Her mom said they had to pay for it first.

+
+Anna and her mom left the store. They walked to the car. Anna held the bag with the dress. She was very happy. She thanked her mom for the new dress. Her mom said she was welcome. She said they would go home and have cake. Anna said she liked cake. She said she liked the mall. She said she liked the lady who served them. She said she liked her mom. Her mom said she liked her too. They hugged and got in the car. They drove home. Anna was very happy.
+Poppy was a clumsy cat. She liked to play with balls of yarn, but she often got tangled in them. One day, she saw a big red ball on the floor. She thought it was a new toy for her. She ran to the ball and tried to strike it with her paw.
+
+But the ball was not a toy. It was a balloon. When Poppy struck it, it made a loud bang and burst. Poppy was scared and jumped back. She hid under the sofa and meowed.
+
+"Poppy, what did you do?" asked her owner, who came to see what the noise was. He saw the pieces of the balloon and the yarn on the floor. He was not happy. He picked up the mess and looked for Poppy.
+
+He found her under the sofa and pulled her out. He held her in his arms and said, "Poppy, you are a clumsy cat. You need to be careful with things. That balloon was for my birthday. Now it is gone."
+
+Poppy felt sorry. She licked her owner's face and purred. She did not mean to ruin his birthday. She just wanted to have fun. Her owner smiled and said, "It's okay, Poppy. I still love you. But next time, please leave the balloons alone. They are not for you."
+
+He gave her a new ball of yarn and a hug. Poppy was happy. She played with the yarn and forgot about the balloon. She was still a clumsy cat, but she was a loved cat.
+Sara and Ben were very happy. They were going to the theater with Mom and Dad. They had never been to the theater before. They wanted to see a show with funny animals and songs.
+
+They got in the car and drove for a long time. Sara and Ben looked out the window and saw many things. They saw houses, trees, shops, and cars. They asked Mom and Dad many questions. "What is that?" "How far is it?" "When will we arrive?"
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and answered their questions. They said they would arrive soon. They said the theater was a big building with a stage and seats. They said the show would start when it was dark.
+
+Sara and Ben were very excited. They could not wait to see the show. They sang songs and played games in the car. They did not feel sleepy at all.

+
+They got up and walked to the car. Sara and Ben leaned on Mom and Dad. They closed their eyes. They dreamed of the theater. They were very happy.
+Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big pole with a flag on top. Lily says, "Let's mark the pole with our names. Then it will be ours." Ben says, "OK, but we have to be fast. Mom will call us soon."
+
+They run to the pole and take out their crayons. Lily writes "Lily" on the pole in red. Ben writes "Ben" on the pole in blue. They are happy and proud. They look at their names and smile.
+
+But then they hear a loud voice. It is the park keeper. He is angry. He says, "Hey, you two! What are you doing? You can't mark the pole with crayons. That is bad. You have to clean it up now."
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They drop their crayons and try to run away. But the park keeper is fast. He catches them and holds them. He says, "You are in trouble. I will call your mom and tell her what you did. You will be sorry."
+
+Lily and Ben cry. They wish they did not mark the pole. They wish they listened to mom. They are very sad. They have a bad ending.
+Ben likes toast. He likes it with jam and butter. He eats it every morning with his mom and dad. But today, he sees something new on the table. It is a jar with a picture of a bear. It says "honey".
+
+Ben loves honey. He wants to try it on his toast. He asks his mom, "Can I have honey, please?" His mom smiles and says, "Sure, Ben. But be careful. Honey is sticky and sweet. And bears like honey too."
+
+Ben does not care. He takes the jar and opens it. He puts some honey on his toast. He takes a big bite. It is yummy. He wants more. He puts more honey on his toast. He does not see the honey dripping on the floor.
+
+Suddenly, he hears a loud roar. He looks up and sees a big, brown bear. It is fierce. It has sharp teeth and claws. It smells the honey. It wants the honey. It wants Ben's toast.
+
+Ben is scared. He drops his toast and runs. He runs to his mom and dad. He hugs them tight. He says, "Help! There is a bear in the kitchen!"
+
+His mom and dad look at the bear. They are not scared. They laugh. They say, "Ben, that is not a real bear. That is your toy bear. You left it on the floor. It has a button that makes it roar. See?"
+
+They show Ben the button. They press it. The bear roars again. Ben sees that it is his toy bear. He feels silly. He says, "Oh. It is my toy bear. I forgot. I'm sorry."
+
+His mom and dad hug him. They say, "It's okay, Ben. You were brave. You ran away from the fierce bear. But next time, be careful with the honey. And don't leave your toys on the floor. Okay?"
+
+Ben nods. He says, "Okay. I'm sorry. Can I have some more toast, please?"
+
+His mom and dad smile. They say, "Sure, Ben. But no more honey. How about some jam?"
+
+Ben says, "Okay. I like jam too. Thank you."
+
+They all sit down and eat their toast. They are happy. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Lily gets a new doll. It is big and pretty. It has long hair and a pink dress. Lily is happy.
+
+Ben sees the new doll. He wants to play with it. He asks Lily, "Can I hold your doll?"
+
+Lily says, "No, it is mine. You have your cars."
+
+Ben is jealous. He thinks Lily is mean. He waits for Lily to go to the bathroom. Then he enters her room. He takes the doll. He runs away.
+
+Lily comes back. She sees her doll is gone. She is sad. She cries. She looks for Ben. She finds him in the park. He is playing with the doll. He has cut its hair and ripped its dress. He is laughing.
+
+Lily is angry. She shouts, "Give me back my doll! You are a bad friend!"
+
+Ben says, "No, it is mine now. You are a bad friend!"
+
+They fight. They pull the doll. The doll breaks. They both cry. They have no doll and no friend. They have no smile.
+Lila was walking with her mom in the park. She liked to see the birds and the flowers and the trees. She also liked to see the dogs that people had. Some dogs were big and some dogs were small. Some dogs were loud and some dogs were quiet.
+
+Lila saw a dog that was very big and very loud. It was barking and pulling on its leash. Lila was scared of the big dog. She hid behind her mom and held her hand.
+
+"Mom, I don't like that dog. It is scary," Lila said.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lila. That dog is harmless. It is just excited to be in the park. It won't hurt you."
+
+Lila was not sure. She looked at the big dog again. It had a black and brown fur and a long tail. It also had a red collar with a shiny tag. Lila saw that the tag said "Heel".
+
+"Mom, what does 'heel' mean?" Lila asked.
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Heel means that the dog has to stay close to its owner and not run away. It is a command that the owner says to the dog. Sometimes the dog listens and sometimes it doesn't."
+
+Lila nodded. She understood. She wanted to learn more about the big dog. She asked her mom, "Can we go and meet the dog?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sure, if you want to. But we have to ask the owner first. And we have to be gentle and polite with the dog."
+
+Lila agreed. She and her mom walked towards the big dog and its owner. The owner was a man with a hat and a beard. He smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Tom and this is Rex. He is a German shepherd. He is very friendly, but he is also very energetic. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Lila said, "Yes, please. I'm Lila and this is my mom. We like dogs."
+
+Tom said, "That's nice. Rex likes people too. But you have to be careful. He might lick you or jump on you. He doesn't mean any harm. He just wants to play."
+
+Lila said, "OK. I don't mind. Can I touch his fur?"
+
+Tom said, "Sure, you can. But first, let him sniff your hand. That's how he says hello."
+
+Lila did as Tom said. She held out her hand and let Rex sniff it. Rex wagged his tail and licked her hand. Lila giggled and stroked his fur. She felt his ears and his nose and his paws. She said, "He is soft and warm and wet. He is a good dog."
+
+Tom said, "He is. He is my best friend. I'm glad you like him."
+
+Lila said, "I do. Thank you for letting me meet him."
+
+Tom said, "You're welcome. Thank you for being nice to him."
+
+Lila and Rex became friends. They played and ran and had fun. Lila was not scared of the big dog anymore. She learned that he was harmless and kind. She was happy that she met him.
+Lily and Tom were playing with sand at the park. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They made a sand castle with a door and a flag. They were happy.
+
+"Look at our castle, it is so nice!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is. Can I put a flower on the flag?" Tom asked.
+
+"OK, but be polite and ask the flower first," Lily said.
+
+Tom nodded and went to find a flower. He saw a yellow one near a tree. He walked to the flower and said, "Hello, flower. You are very pretty. Can I have you for my flag?"
+
+The flower did not answer. Tom waited for a while, but the flower was still quiet. He thought the flower was shy. He said, "Please, flower. I will be gentle and careful. I will not hurt you. You will make my flag look more nice."
+
+The flower still did not answer. Tom felt sad. He did not want to take the flower without asking. He was polite. He said, "OK, flower. I understand. You want to stay here. I will find another flower. Goodbye, flower."
+
+He turned around and walked away. But as he did, he heard a soft voice behind him.
+
+"Wait, little boy. I am sorry. I was not rude. I was asleep. You woke me up with your words. You are very polite and kind. You can have me for your flag. I will be happy to go with you."
+
+Tom was surprised and happy. He looked back and saw the flower smiling at him. He said, "Thank you, flower. You are very nice. I will be your friend."
+
+He gently picked the flower and ran back to Lily. He showed her the flower and said, "Look, Lily. I found a flower for our flag. And the flower talked to me. It said yes."
+
+Lily was amazed and happy. She said, "Wow, Tom. You are lucky. You found a magic flower. It is very pretty. Let's put it on our flag."
+
+They did. They stuck the flower on the flag and admired their sand castle. They were very proud. They played with their castle and their flower until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to their castle and their flower. They promised to come back and visit them. They hoped their castle and their flower would not change. They liked them just the way they were.
+Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to make shadows with their hands. They could make a bird, a dog, a rabbit and more.
+
+One day, they saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a monster. It had horns, teeth and claws. Lila and Ben were scared. They ran to each other and held hands. They did not want the monster to get them.
+
+But then, they looked closer. They saw that the shadow was not a monster. It was a man with a hat, a coat and a bag. He was walking by the wall. He did not see Lila and Ben. He did not know he made a scary shadow.
+
+Lila and Ben laughed. They were not scared anymore. They were brave. They decided to make their own shadow monster. They put their hands together and moved them. They made a big shadow with four horns, six teeth and eight claws. It was impressive. They had fun.
+
+They learned that shadows can be scary or funny. They learned that they can unite their hands to make new shadows. They learned that they are stronger together. They were happy. They were best friends.
+Tom and Sam liked to play in the woods. They had a blue tent and a blue ball. They pretended they were explorers and looked for animals and plants. One day, they saw a big bear in the trees. The bear was brown and furry and had sharp teeth. Tom and Sam were scared and ran to their tent.
+
+The bear followed them and sniffed their tent. He smelled the blue ball and wanted to play with it. He poked his nose inside the tent and grabbed the ball. Tom and Sam screamed and crawled out of the other side of the tent. They ran to their bike and pedaled away as fast as they could.
+
+The bear was confused and sad. He liked the blue ball and wanted to play with Tom and Sam. He rolled the ball on the ground and chased it. He did not see the hole in the ground and fell in. He was stuck and could not get out. He roared and cried for help.
+
+Tom and Sam heard the bear and felt sorry for him. They turned back and saw him in the hole. They found a big branch and threw it to the bear. The bear grabbed the branch and pulled himself out. He was happy and thanked Tom and Sam. He gave them back their blue ball and waved goodbye. Tom and Sam waved back and smiled. They learned that the bear was not mean, but lonely. They decided to visit him again and bring him some honey.
+Sara liked to question everything. She always asked why, how, and what. She wanted to learn about the world. But sometimes her questions made her mom and dad tired.
+
+One day, Sara saw a bunch of celery in the fridge. She had never seen it before. She took one out and asked, "What is this?"
+
+Mom said, "That is celery. It is a vegetable. You can eat it raw or cooked. It is good for you."
+
+Sara asked, "Why is it good for you?"
+
+Mom said, "It has vitamins and fiber. They help your body stay healthy."
+
+Sara asked, "What are vitamins and fiber?"
+
+Mom said, "They are things that your body needs. They are in many foods. But not in candy or cake."
+
+Sara asked, "Can I have candy or cake?"
+
+Mom said, "No, not now. Maybe later, as a treat. But first, you have to eat your lunch."
+
+Sara asked, "What is for lunch?"
+
+Mom said, "Soup and bread. And some celery, if you want to try it."
+
+Sara asked, "Can I have soup and bread and candy and cake and celery?"
+
+Mom said, "No, that is too much. You have to choose. Soup and bread and celery, or soup and bread and candy or cake. But not both."
+
+Sara thought for a while. She wanted to try the celery, but she also wanted the candy or cake. She asked, "Can I have half of the celery and half of the candy or cake?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "That is a good compromise. You are a smart girl. OK, you can have half of the celery and half of the candy or cake. But you have to eat the soup and bread first."
+
+Sara nodded. She was happy. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Sara. Now, let's go to the table. And please, no more questions for a while. My ears need a break."
+
+Sara said, "OK, mom. I will be quiet. But can I ask you one more thing?"
+
+Mom said, "What is it, Sara?"
+
+Sara asked, "What is deaf?"
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "Deaf is when you cannot hear. Like grandpa. He wears a hearing aid to help him hear. But sometimes he still misses what we say. That is why we have to speak loudly and clearly to him."
+
+Sara said, "Oh, I see. I don't want to be deaf. I like to hear. I like to hear your voice, and dad's voice, and the birds, and the music, and everything."
+
+Mom said, "Me too, Sara. Me too. Hearing is a gift. We should be grateful for it. And we should also be kind to those who cannot hear. They are not different from us. They just need a little more help."
+
+Sara said, "I understand, mom. I will be kind to grandpa. And to everyone. And I will also be grateful for my ears. And for my mouth, and my eyes, and my nose, and my hands, and my feet, and my heart, and my brain, and everything."
+
+Mom hugged Sara. She said, "You are a wonderful girl, Sara. You make me proud. Now, let's eat our lunch. And enjoy our celery and our candy or cake."
+Sara loves to draw with pastels. She has many colors of pastels, like pink, blue, yellow and green. She likes to make pictures of flowers, animals and rainbows on paper.
+
+One day, her big brother Tom comes to see her drawings. He says, "Sara, your drawings are nice, but you can improve them. Do you want me to show you how?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Yes, please. How can I improve them?"
+
+Tom says, "You can use clear lines to make your shapes. Look, this is how you draw a circle. You start from one point and go around until you meet the same point. Then you have a clear circle. You can do the same with other shapes, like squares, triangles and hearts."
+
+Sara tries to follow Tom's advice. She picks a blue pastel and draws a circle on a new paper. Then she picks a pink pastel and draws a heart inside the circle. She smiles and says, "Look, Tom, I made a clear circle and a clear heart. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom smiles back and says, "Yes, Sara, I like it. You did a good job. You improved your drawing. Do you want to try more shapes?"
+
+Sara says, "Yes, I want to try more shapes. Thank you, Tom, for helping me improve my drawings. You are a good brother."
+
+Tom says, "You are welcome, Sara. You are a good sister. And you are a good artist. Let's draw more with pastels."
+Lily was sick and had to go to the hospital. She did not like the hospital. It was big and noisy and smelled funny. She missed her mom and dad and her toys. She felt scared and sad.
+
+A nurse came to see Lily. She had a kind smile and a white coat. She said, "Hello, Lily. I'm Nurse Anna. I'm here to help you feel better. Do you want to play a game with me?" Lily nodded. She liked games.
+
+Nurse Anna took out a book from her bag. It was a book about animals. She showed Lily the pictures and asked her to name them. Lily knew some of the animals, like cat, dog, and bird. But some of the animals were new to her, like zebra, giraffe, and hippo.
+
+When Nurse Anna showed Lily a picture of a monkey, Lily laughed. The monkey was hairy and funny. It had a long tail and big ears. It was making a silly face. Lily said, "Monkey!" and pointed at the picture.
+
+Nurse Anna laughed too. She said, "That's right, Lily. That's a monkey. Do you like monkeys?" Lily nodded. She liked monkeys. They made her happy. She said, "Thank you, Nurse Anna. You are nice."
+
+Nurse Anna hugged Lily. She said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are brave. I'm glad you're feeling better. Do you want to see more animals?" Lily nodded. She wanted to see more animals. She and Nurse Anna looked at the book and laughed at the hairy and funny animals.
+Tom and Sue are going on a big trip. They are very happy. They pack their bags and put them in the car. They have to go to the airport to fly on a plane.
+
+"Did you get the passports?" Sue asks Tom.
+
+"Yes, they are in my bag. They are very important. We need them to go on the plane," Tom says.
+
+They drive to the airport and park the car. They take their bags and go to the big building. They see many people and signs. They look for their plane.
+
+"Tom, where are the passports?" Sue asks again.
+
+Tom opens his bag and looks inside. He does not see the passports. He feels scared.
+
+"Oh no, I forgot the passports at home!" Tom says.
+
+Sue feels angry and sad. She starts to cry.
+
+"How could you forget the passports? They are very important! Now we cannot go on the plane. We cannot go on our trip. We have to go back home," Sue says.
+
+Tom feels sorry and bad. He does not know what to say. He hugs Sue and says he is sorry.
+
+They take their bags and go back to the car. They drive back home. They miss their plane. They do not go on their trip. They have a bad day.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to take pictures with her camera. She liked to snap photos of her toys, her pets, and her family. She always smiled when she looked at her camera and said, "Cheese!"
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her camera with her, hoping to find something new and fun to photograph. She saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She was about to slide down when she saw a butterfly on a flower. She quickly grabbed her camera and aimed it at the butterfly.
+
+"Look, Mommy, a butterfly!" she shouted. "I want to take a picture of it!"
+
+But as she pressed the button, she lost her balance and slid down the slide. She bumped her head on the ground and dropped her camera. She heard a loud crack and saw her camera break into pieces. She started to cry and scream.
+
+"Oh, no, Lily, are you okay?" her mom asked, running to her side.
+
+"My camera, my camera!" Lily sobbed. "It's broken, it's broken!"
+
+"I'm sorry, sweetie, your camera is broken," her dad said, picking up the pieces. "But you are more important than your camera. Let me see your head. Does it hurt?"
+
+Lily nodded and touched her head. It had a big bump and a scratch. She felt pain and sadness. She suffered a lot because of her fall and her camera.
+
+"Let's go home and put some ice on your head, okay?" her mom said, hugging her. "Maybe we can get you a new camera later. But for now, you need to rest and feel better."
+
+Lily sniffled and nodded. She let her mom carry her to the car. She looked at her broken camera and wished she had not tried to take a picture of the butterfly. She learned a hard lesson that day. She learned to be careful and not to lose her focus. She also learned to appreciate what she had and not to take it for granted. She hoped that one day, she would get a new camera and take many more pictures. But she also hoped that she would never suffer like that again.
+Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to walk in the park and look at the birds and flowers. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. It had a red collar and a leash.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Tom said. He wanted to pet the dog. He liked dogs.
+
+"Wait, Tom!" Mia said. She was thoughtful. She knew some dogs were not friendly. "We should ask the owner first. Maybe the dog does not like strangers."
+
+She looked around and saw a lady sitting on a bench. She had a book and a hat. She was the owner of the dog.
+
+"Excuse me, lady," Mia said. "Can we pet your dog? He is very cute."
+
+The lady smiled and nodded. She put down her book and called the dog. The dog came to her and wagged his tail.
+
+"Sure, you can pet him," the lady said. "His name is Max. He is very gentle and loves children. Just be careful not to pull his fur or ears."
+
+Tom and Mia thanked the lady and walked to the dog. They gently stroked his fur and scratched his ears. The dog licked their faces and made happy noises.
+
+Tom and Mia were happy. They made a new friend. They played with Max for a while and then said goodbye to him and the lady.
+
+They walked back to their parents, who were waiting for them at the gate. They told them about Max and how nice he was.
+
+Their parents were proud of them. They said they were very polite and thoughtful. They gave them a hug and a kiss.
+
+Tom and Mia smiled. They had a good day. They hoped to see Max again soon.
+Sam and Mia like to play on the beach. They dig in the sand and splash in the water. One day, they see a crab on a rock. The crab has big claws and a hard shell.
+
+"Look, a crab!" Sam says. "Let's catch it!"
+
+"No, don't!" Mia says. "It might pinch you!"
+
+Sam does not listen. He runs to the rock and tries to grab the crab. But the crab is too fast and too tough. It turns around and snaps its claws at Sam. Sam yelps and jumps back.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cries. "The crab bit me!"
+
+Mia runs to Sam and hugs him. She sees a red mark on his finger.
+
+"I told you so!" Mia says. "The crab is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It needs its space."
+
+Sam nods and sniffles. He is sorry he did not listen to Mia. He is also sorry he scared the crab.
+
+"Can we say sorry to the crab?" Sam asks.
+
+Mia smiles and nods. They walk to the rock and wave to the crab.
+
+"Sorry, crab!" they say. "We won't bother you again. You are very tough and very cool."
+
+The crab turns its eyes and waves its claws. It seems to say thank you and goodbye. Sam and Mia smile and wave back. Then they go back to their sandcastle and play some more. They have learned a lesson about the crab and the beach.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the garden with their toy plane. They liked to make it fly in the air and land on the grass. They pretended they were pilots and passengers.
+
+"Where are we going today, Lily?" Sam asked.
+
+"We are going to the beach, Sam. We will see the big water and the sand and the shells," Lily said.
+
+They flew the plane over the fence and towards the street. They ran after it, but they did not see the big puddle on the road. They stepped into it and got very wet. The water soaked their shoes and socks and pants and shirts.
+
+"Oh no, our plane!" Lily cried. She saw the plane floating in the puddle. She reached for it, but it was too far.
+
+"Help, help!" Sam shouted. He saw a car coming towards them. He was scared. He pulled Lily back to the sidewalk.
+
+The car stopped and the driver got out. He was a man with a serious face and a uniform. He was a police officer. He picked up the plane from the puddle and gave it to Lily and Sam.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" he asked. "What are you doing here?"
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Lily said. "We were playing with our plane and it flew over the fence and we ran after it and we got soaked."
+
+"You should be more careful, kids," the officer said. "This is a busy road. You could have been hurt. Where are your parents?"
+
+"They are in the house, sir," Sam said. "We will go back now."
+
+"Good," the officer said. "And next time, play in a safer place. And dry your clothes. You don't want to catch a cold."
+
+He smiled and got back in his car. He drove away.
+
+Lily and Sam hugged their plane. They were happy they got it back. They ran to the house and told their parents what happened. Their parents were not happy, but they were glad they were safe. They gave them dry clothes and hot chocolate. They said they could play with their plane again, but only in the garden. Lily and Sam agreed. They learned their lesson. They still liked to fly their plane, but they stayed away from the puddles.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving cars and trucks. Sometimes they shared their toys, but sometimes they fought over them.
+
+"Look, an aeroplane!" Ben shouted, pointing at the sky. He dropped his toy car and ran to the fence. He stared at the aeroplane with his big eyes. It was enormous and shiny and made a loud sound.
+
+Anna followed him and stared too. She wanted to see the aeroplane better. She tried to climb on the fence, but Ben pushed her away.
+
+"No, this is my spot!" he said. "You can't see the aeroplane from here. Go away!"
+
+Anna felt angry and sad. She wanted to see the aeroplane too. She didn't like Ben being mean to her. She pushed him back and said, "No, you go away! I want to see the aeroplane too. It's not fair!"
+
+They both started to cry and yell. They forgot about the aeroplane and their toys. They only cared about the fence and who could see better.
+
+A lady who was walking her dog saw them and came over. She smiled and said, "Hello, children. Why are you fighting? Don't you know that the aeroplane is big enough for everyone to see? You don't need to push and shout. You can share the fence and enjoy the view together."
+
+Anna and Ben stopped crying and looked at the lady. They felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they were being silly and selfish. They said, "Sorry, lady. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Anna."
+
+They hugged and made up. They climbed on the fence together and stared at the aeroplane. It was still enormous and shiny and made a loud sound. They smiled and said, "Wow, look at the aeroplane! It's so cool!"
+
+They thanked the lady and went back to their toys. They played nicely and shared their toys. They had fun and learned a lesson. They never fought over the aeroplane again.
+Lily was a young girl who liked to solve puzzles. She had many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. She was very good at finding the right pieces and putting them together. One day, she saw a new puzzle in the store. It was a big puzzle with a colorful parrot. Lily wanted to have it, so she asked her mom to buy it for her.
+
+"Please, mom, can I have the parrot puzzle?" Lily said.
+
+"Okay, Lily, but only if you promise to be careful with it. It is a very hard puzzle and it has many small pieces. You don't want to lose them or break them, do you?" her mom said.
+
+"No, mom, I will be very careful. I will solve the parrot puzzle and show you how smart I am," Lily said.
+
+Her mom bought the puzzle and they went home. Lily was very excited to open the box and start the puzzle. She spread the pieces on the floor and looked for the edges. She found some pieces that matched and began to form the border. She was having fun and did not notice that her cat, Fluffy, was watching her from the couch.
+
+Fluffy was a naughty cat who liked to play with anything that moved. He saw the shiny pieces on the floor and thought they were toys. He jumped down from the couch and ran towards the puzzle. He pounced on the pieces and scattered them all over the room. He bit some pieces and scratched others. He made a big mess and ruined the puzzle.
+
+Lily heard the noise and turned around. She saw Fluffy and the puzzle. She was very angry and sad. She yelled at Fluffy and tried to save the puzzle. But it was too late. The puzzle was broken and some pieces were missing. She could not solve the parrot puzzle anymore. She cried and cried.
+
+"Mom, mom, look what Fluffy did! He destroyed my parrot puzzle! I can't solve it now! It's not fair!" Lily said.
+
+Her mom came and saw the disaster. She hugged Lily and tried to comfort her. She scolded Fluffy and put him in another room. She said she was sorry and that she would buy another puzzle for Lily. But Lily did not want another puzzle. She wanted the parrot puzzle. She loved the parrot puzzle. She felt like she lost a friend. She cried and cried. The end.
+Sam and Tim were brothers who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, but their favorite was the big pig. The pig was pink and fat and liked to roll in the mud. Sam and Tim would give him apples and carrots and scratch his ears.
+
+One day, Sam and Tim saw a man with a truck come to the farm. The man talked to their dad and pointed at the pig. Sam and Tim ran to the pig and hugged him. They did not want the man to take him away.
+
+"Please, dad, don't let him go!" Sam cried.
+
+"Sorry, boys, but we need the money. The pig is going to the market," their dad said.
+
+The man grabbed the pig by a rope and dragged him to the truck. The pig squealed and kicked, but he could not get free. Sam and Tim followed him and begged the man to stop.
+
+"Please, mister, he is our friend! He is a good pig! He likes us!" Tim said.
+
+The man did not reply. He threw the pig into the truck and slammed the door. He got into the driver's seat and started the engine. He drove away, leaving Sam and Tim behind.
+
+Sam and Tim watched the truck disappear down the road. They felt very sad and angry. They wished they could save the pig. They wondered if the pig was scared and lonely. They hoped he would be grateful for the time they spent with him. They did not know that the pig was going to be killed and eaten.
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to ride bikes. They had bikes with two wheels and pedals. They could go fast and have fun.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Ben. He had a bike with three wheels and no pedals. He used his feet to push it. Sara and Tom saw him and laughed.
+
+"Look at his bike! It is different and silly!" Sara said.
+
+"Yeah, he can't ride like us! He is slow and boring!" Tom said.
+
+Ben heard them and felt sad. He wanted to play with them, but they were mean. He stopped his bike and said, "Why are you laughing at me? My bike is good. It is easy and safe. I like it."
+
+Sara and Tom stopped laughing and looked at him. They saw that he was not happy. They felt sorry for him.
+
+"Sorry, Ben. We were not nice. We should not laugh at your bike. It is different, but it is not silly. It is your bike and you like it. That is good." Sara said.
+
+"Yeah, sorry, Ben. We were wrong. We should not be mean. We should be friends. Do you want to play with us? We can ride together and have fun." Tom said.
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you for being nice. You are good friends. You are welcome to try my bike if you want. It is fun too."
+
+Sara and Tom said, "Thank you, Ben. We would like to try your bike. It looks fun too. You are welcome to try our bikes if you want. They are fun too."
+
+They all tried each other's bikes and had fun. They learned that different bikes are good and that different people are good too. They became good friends and played together every day.
+Mia was a big girl who liked to learn new things. She went to a school where she had a kind teacher and many friends. Every day, she did fun activities like drawing, singing, and playing with blocks. Sometimes, she also had to do an exam, which was a paper with questions that she had to answer.
+
+One day, Mia had an exam about animals. She liked animals very much, and she knew their names and sounds. She was not afraid of the exam, but she wanted to do well. She looked at the paper and saw pictures of a dog, a cat, a cow, and a lion. She wrote the names under the pictures and made the sounds with her mouth.
+
+When she finished, she gave the paper to her teacher and smiled. The teacher looked at her paper and smiled back. She said, "Mia, you did a great job! You know all the animals and their sounds. You are very smart and hard-working. I am proud of you."
+
+Mia felt happy and proud. She said, "Thank you, teacher. You are very kind and compassionate. You help me learn new things and have fun." She bowed to her teacher, which was a way of showing respect and gratitude. The teacher bowed back and gave her a hug.
+
+Mia went back to her seat and waited for her friends to finish their exams. She felt good about herself and her teacher. She thought, "I love school and I love learning. I wonder what we will do next."
+Lily and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They see a big jar of salt on the shelf. They want to taste it. They climb on a chair and reach for the jar. But the jar is too heavy and it falls down. It makes a loud noise and breaks on the floor. Salt goes everywhere.
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They think Mom will be angry. They hear Mom coming. They run and hide under the table. They hope Mom will not see them.
+
+Mom comes in the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She looks for Lily and Tom. She sees their feet under the table. She says, "Lily, Tom, what did you do?"
+
+Lily and Tom come out. They are sorry. They say, "We wanted to taste the salt. But the jar was too heavy. It fell down and broke. We were scared. We are sorry, Mom."
+
+Mom is not angry anymore. She hugs them. She says, "It's okay. I'm glad you are not hurt. But salt is not for tasting. It is for cooking. And you should not climb on the chair. It is dangerous. Next time, ask me first."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They help Mom clean up the salt. They learn their lesson. They do not play with the salt again.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They also went to the same school, where they learned new things every day. One day, their teacher said they would have a quiz to see what they remembered. Lily was happy, because she liked quizzes. Ben was not happy, because he did not like quizzes.
+
+The teacher gave them a paper with questions and pictures. Lily read the questions and looked at the pictures. She knew the answers and wrote them down. Ben did not read the questions and did not look at the pictures. He did not know the answers and wrote nothing. He was bored and impatient. He wanted to play, not to do a quiz.
+
+Lily finished her paper and gave it to the teacher. The teacher smiled and said, "Well done, Lily! You did a great job!" She gave Lily a sticker and a clap. Lily was proud and happy. Ben finished his paper and gave it to the teacher. The teacher looked at his paper and said, "Ben, you did not do a good job. You did not answer any questions. You need to pay attention and try harder." She did not give Ben a sticker or a clap. Ben was sad and ashamed.
+
+Lily saw Ben and said, "Ben, why did you not do the quiz? It was fun and easy. You are smart and you can do it." Ben said, "I did not do the quiz because I did not want to. I wanted to play, not to do a quiz. Quizzes are boring and hard." Lily said, "But Ben, quizzes are not boring and hard. They are fun and easy. They help us learn and remember. If you do the quiz, you can get a sticker and a clap. And you can play after the quiz. Don't you want a sticker and a clap?" Ben said, "Yes, I want a sticker and a clap. But I don't want to do the quiz."
+
+Lily said, "Ben, you need to do the quiz. It is important. If you don't do the quiz, you will not learn and remember. And you will not get a sticker and a clap. And you will make the teacher sad. And you will make me sad. And you will make yourself sad. Do you want to be sad?" Ben said, "No, I don't want to be sad. I want to be happy. And I want to make the teacher happy. And I want to make you happy. And I want to make myself happy." Lily said, "Then you need to do the quiz. It is not hard. I can help you. We can do it together. And then we can play together. And we can be happy together. Will you do the quiz?" Ben said, "Yes, I will do the quiz. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend."
+
+The teacher heard Lily and Ben and said, "Lily and Ben, you are good friends. You help each other and you learn together. I am proud of you both. You can do the quiz again and I will give you both a sticker and a clap. And then you can play together. Are you ready?" Lily and Ben said, "Yes, we are ready." They did the quiz again and they answered all the questions. The teacher gave them both a sticker and a clap. And then they played together. And they were happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Quizzes are not boring and hard, they are fun and easy. They help us learn and remember. We should do them and not be impatient. We should help each other and learn together. We should make ourselves and others happy.

+
+"Bang! Bang! You are dead, shadow!" Tim shouts.
+
+"Pow! Pow! I got you, shadow!" Sam yells.
+
+They have a lot of fun. They do not see their mom coming. She opens the box and looks inside. She sees her sons playing with their toy guns. She smiles and shakes her head.

+
+"You will see," she says. "But first, put away your toy guns and wash your hands. Then come to the kitchen."
+
+Tim and Sam do what their mom says. They are curious about the fancy surprise. They hope it is something yummy. They run to the kitchen and see a big cake on the table. It has candles and frosting and sprinkles. It is for their dad's birthday.
+

+Anna was very happy to go to school today. She had a new dress that her mom bought for her. It was pink and had flowers on it. She thought it was very pretty and she wanted to show it to her friends.
+
+She ran to the classroom and saw her teacher, Miss Lee. Miss Lee smiled and said, "Good morning, Anna. You look very nice today. What a lovely dress you have."
+
+Anna beamed and said, "Thank you, Miss Lee. My mom got it for me. It was very cheap. She said it was a good deal."
+
+Miss Lee nodded and said, "That's wonderful, Anna. But remember, it's not how much something costs that makes it valuable. It's how much you love it and take care of it."
+
+Anna did not understand what Miss Lee meant, but she nodded anyway. She went to her seat and put her backpack on the floor. She gazed at her dress and felt very proud.
+
+But then, she saw Billy. Billy was a mean boy who liked to tease and bully other kids. He saw Anna's dress and snickered. He walked over to her and said, "Hey, Anna. What a ugly dress you have. It looks like a rag. Did you get it from the trash?"
+
+Anna felt very hurt and angry. She said, "No, Billy. My mom got it for me. It's very pretty and I love it. You're just jealous."
+
+Billy laughed and said, "Jealous? Of what? Your cheap dress? I bet it will fall apart soon. Here, let me help you." He grabbed the hem of her dress and pulled hard.
+
+Anna screamed and tried to stop him, but it was too late. Her dress ripped and a big hole appeared. She saw the flowers fall off and the pink fabric tear. She felt tears in her eyes and sobbed.
+
+Miss Lee heard the noise and came over. She saw what Billy had done and was very angry. She said, "Billy, how dare you do that? That was very mean and rude. You have to apologize to Anna and pay for her dress. And you have to go to the principal's office right now."
+
+Billy looked scared and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to. I was just joking."
+
+Anna did not believe him. She said, "You're not sorry. You're just a bully. You ruined my dress and my day. I hate you."
+
+Miss Lee hugged Anna and said, "It's okay, Anna. I'm sorry this happened to you. Your dress was very pretty and I know you loved it. But don't worry, we can fix it. And you have other things that make you special and beautiful. Like your smile, your kindness, and your courage. Those things are more valuable than any dress. And they can never be ripped or ruined by anyone."
+
+Anna felt a little better and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Miss Lee. You're very nice and wise. I'm glad you're my teacher."
+
+Miss Lee smiled and said, "You're welcome, Anna. You're a very sweet and smart girl. I'm glad you're my student."
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to travel with Mom and Dad. They have a big bag with clothes and toys. They also have a furry friend. His name is Max. He is a brown dog.

+
+"No, you can't have my doll!" Mia shouted. "She is mine, and you are a boy!"
+
+"No, you can't have my truck!" Ben yelled back. "It is mine, and you are a girl!"
+
+They pulled and tugged at each other's toys, until they both fell down and started to cry. Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over your toys?"
+
+"Ben took my doll!" Mia sobbed.
+
+"Mia took my truck!" Ben wailed.
+
+Mom looked at them and shook her head. "You two should share your toys, not fight over them. You are twins, and you should love each other. How would you feel if you had no toys at all?"
+
+Ben and Mia thought about it. They did not like the idea of having no toys at all. They looked at each other and felt sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia," Ben said. "You can have your doll back. I don't need it."
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Mia said. "You can have your truck back. I don't need it."
+
+They hugged each other and gave back their toys. They felt better and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. Thank you, Mia," Mom said. "That was very nice of you. Why don't you play together with your toys? You can have more fun that way."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Ben and Mia said. They took their toys to the table and started to play together. They made up stories and laughed. They realized that even though they were different, they could still be friends. They did not regret sharing their toys. They were happy.
+Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play with horses. They lived near a big farm with many horses in a stable. Sometimes, the farmer let them help him feed and brush the horses. They were very happy.
+
+One day, a harsh storm came. The wind was loud and the rain was heavy. The farmer told Tom and Anna to go inside the house and stay safe. He said he would take care of the horses. Tom and Anna were scared and sad. They wanted to see the horses.
+
+They waited for a long time, but the storm did not end. They heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big tree fall on the stable. The stable was broken and some horses ran away. Tom and Anna cried.
+
+The farmer came back to the house. He was wet and tired. He saw Tom and Anna and hugged them. He said, "Don't worry, kids. The horses are fine. I got them out of the stable before the tree fell. They are in another barn now. They are safe and warm."
+
+Tom and Anna were glad. They thanked the farmer and said they were sorry for the stable. The farmer said, "It's okay. The stable can be fixed. The important thing is that you and the horses are okay. You are brave and kind. I'm proud of you."
+
+The storm ended and the sun came out. Tom and Anna smiled and asked the farmer if they could see the horses. The farmer said yes and took them to the other barn. They saw the horses and petted them. They were happy again.

+Sara was very excited to go to school for the first time. She wanted to make new friends and learn new things. She put on her pink dress and her backpack and hugged her mom goodbye.
+
+At school, she met her teacher, Miss Lee. Miss Lee was very nice and smiled a lot. She introduced Sara to the other kids in the class. "This is Sara, everyone. She is new here. Can you say hello to Sara?" Miss Lee said. The other kids said hello and some of them waved. Sara felt happy and waved back.
+
+Miss Lee showed Sara the classroom. There were many toys, books, and colors. There was also a big blackboard on the wall. Miss Lee said they would use the blackboard to write and draw. Sara liked to write and draw. She wanted to try the blackboard.
+
+But before she could, Miss Lee said it was time for a story. She asked the kids to sit on the floor and listen. Sara sat next to a boy with curly hair and glasses. His name was Ben. He smiled at Sara and whispered, "Do you like stories?" Sara nodded and whispered, "Yes, I do. Do you?" Ben nodded and whispered, "Yes, I do. But I like the blackboard more. It's fun to make a mess on it."
+
+Sara was curious. She wondered what kind of mess Ben liked to make on the blackboard. She decided to ask him later. She listened to Miss Lee's story. It was about a lion and a mouse. Sara liked the story. She liked the lion and the mouse. She thought they were brave and kind.
+
+After the story, Miss Lee said it was time for a snack. She asked the kids to line up and follow her to the cafeteria. Sara got up and followed Miss Lee. But Ben stayed behind. He had a plan. He grabbed a piece of chalk and ran to the blackboard. He started to write and draw on it. He wrote his name, Sara's name, and some words he knew. He drew a lion, a mouse, and some stars. He also drew some lines, circles, and squiggles. He made a big mess on the blackboard. He laughed and said, "This is fun!"
+
+But he did not see Miss Lee coming back. She had forgotten her keys in the classroom. She saw Ben and the blackboard. She was not happy. She said, "Ben, what are you doing? You made a big mess on the blackboard. That's not nice. You have to clean it up. And you have to say sorry to me and to Sara. You used her name without asking. That's not polite."
+
+Ben felt scared and sorry. He did not mean to be bad. He just wanted to have fun. He said, "I'm sorry, Miss Lee. I'm sorry, Sara. I won't do it again. Please don't be mad at me." He took a cloth and started to wipe the blackboard.
+
+Sara saw Ben and the blackboard. She was surprised and sad. She did not like the mess. She did not like that Ben used her name. She did not want to be friends with him. She said, "Ben, why did you do that? You made a big mess on the blackboard. You used my name without asking. That's not nice. You hurt my feelings."
+
+Ben looked at Sara. He felt more sorry. He liked Sara. He wanted to be friends with her. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I did not mean to hurt your feelings. I just wanted to have fun. I like you. I like your name. I wanted to write it on the blackboard. I thought you would like it too."
+
+Sara looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She saw that he liked her. She saw that he wanted to have fun. She felt a little better. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, you have to ask me first. And you have to be careful with the blackboard. It's not for making a mess. It's for learning and sharing."
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "Okay, Sara. I understand. Thank you for forgiving me. Can we still be friends?" Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, Ben. We can still be friends. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria. I'm hungry. Are you?" Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I am. Let's go." They held hands and followed Miss Lee to the cafeteria. They had a snack and talked. They became friends. They learned and shared. They had fun.
+Lily woke up and saw the light in her window. She felt happy and warm. She stretched her arms and legs and yawned. She wanted to play with her toys and see her mommy and daddy.
+
+She got out of her bed and put on her slippers. She opened her door and walked to the kitchen. She smelled something nice. It was pancakes! She loved pancakes with syrup and butter.
+
+She saw her mommy and daddy sitting at the table. They smiled at her and said, "Good morning, Lily. Did you sleep well?"
+
+"Yes, I did. I had a nice dream. I dreamed I was a princess and I had a big castle and a horse and a crown," Lily said.
+
+"That sounds like a wonderful dream, Lily. Do you want some pancakes?" her daddy asked.
+
+"Yes, please. Can I have two?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, you can. Here you go. Enjoy your breakfast, Lily," her mommy said.
+
+Lily sat down and ate her pancakes. She felt happy and full. She thanked her mommy and daddy and gave them a hug and a kiss. She said, "I love you, mommy and daddy. You are the best."
+
+"We love you too, Lily. You are our sweet girl," they said.
+
+Lily finished her breakfast and went to play with her toys. She had a nice day.
+Lily liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang songs about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the flowers. She sang songs that made her happy, sad, angry, or silly.
+
+One day, she found a pair of pants in her closet. They were not her pants. They were big and black and had many pockets. They looked mysterious. Lily wondered who they belonged to and what was inside them. She put them on and felt very funny. They were too long and too loose for her.
+
+She decided to sing a song about the pants. She sang, "Who are you, pants? Where do you come from? What do you hide in your pockets? Are you a spy, a pirate, a clown, or a king?" She sang louder and louder, hoping the pants would answer her.
+
+But the pants did not answer. They only made a noise. It was a beep-beep-beep noise. Lily was scared. She ran to her mom and showed her the pants. She said, "Mom, these are not my pants. They are mysterious pants. They make a beep-beep-beep noise. What is it?"
+
+Mom looked at the pants and smiled. She said, "Lily, these are not mysterious pants. They are dad's pants. He left them here by mistake. He is a doctor and he has a pager in his pocket. It beeps when someone needs his help. He must have forgotten to turn it off."
+
+Lily was surprised. She said, "Oh, I see. Dad is a doctor and he helps people. That is very nice. But why does he need so many pockets?"
+
+Mom said, "He needs them to carry his tools, his keys, his phone, and his snacks. He likes to be prepared."
+
+Lily said, "I like to be prepared too. Can I keep the pants?"
+
+Mom said, "No, you can't. They are too big for you and they belong to dad. But you can borrow them for a little while and sing more songs about them. Just remember to turn off the pager."
+
+Lily said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you and I love dad and I love his pants. They are not mysterious anymore. They are fun and useful."
+
+She hugged mom and went back to her room. She put on the pants again and sang a new song. She sang, "You are dad's pants. You are big and black and have many pockets. You beep when someone needs dad's help. You are fun and useful pants. I like you, pants. You are my friends."
+Ben and Tom were brothers who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big box of paper in the garage. They decided to make paper planes and throw them in the air. They had a lot of fun with the paper planes.
+
+But then, Ben saw a lighter on the shelf. He wanted to see what it could do. He took the lighter and lit one of the paper planes on fire. He threw the fire plane in the air and watched it burn. He thought it was cool and funny.
+
+Tom saw what Ben did and was scared. He said, "Ben, stop! Fire is bad! Fire can hurt us and the house! Fire can make things dead!"
+
+But Ben did not listen. He lit another paper plane on fire and threw it in the air. He did not see that the fire plane landed on a pile of paper and made a big fire. The fire grew and grew and made a lot of smoke and heat.
+
+Tom ran to the door and shouted, "Help! Help! Fire! Fire!" He hoped that someone would hear him and come to help. He was very sad and angry at Ben for being so silly and naughty.
+
+Soon, the firemen came and put out the fire. They also found Ben and Tom and took them out of the garage. They were both coughing and crying. The firemen checked them and said they were lucky to be alive. They also said that the fire had destroyed the garage and some of the toys.
+
+Ben and Tom's parents came and hugged them. They were very happy that they were safe, but also very upset that they had played with fire. They said, "Ben, Tom, you have been very bad boys. You should never play with fire. Fire is dangerous and can hurt you and others. Fire can make things dead. You have to be careful and responsible with fire. You have to say sorry and learn from your mistake."
+
+Ben and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We are sorry, firemen. We are sorry, toys. We were wrong to play with fire. We will never do it again. We will be good boys and listen to you. We will be kind and respectful to fire."
+
+The firemen and the parents smiled and said, "That's good, Ben and Tom. We are glad that you understand. We hope that you will remember this lesson and be careful and responsible with fire. We love you and we are proud of you."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big poster on the wall. It has an image of a castle and a princess. The poster says: "Come and see the rich and beautiful fairy tale show!"
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna says. "I want to see the show. Do you want to see it, Ben?"
+
+"Yes, I do!" Ben says. "But we have no money. How can we see the show?"
+
+"Maybe we can sneak in," Anna says. "Look, there is a door behind the poster. Let's go and see."
+
+Anna and Ben run to the door. They push the poster aside. They open the door and go inside. They see a dark and narrow hallway. They hear music and voices from the other end.
+
+"Shh, be quiet," Anna says. "We have to be careful. Maybe someone will see us."
+
+They walk along the hallway. They see a bright light at the end. They think it is the stage. They are excited. They run to the light.
+
+But they do not see the stage. They see a big hole in the floor. They do not stop in time. They slip and fall into the hole. They scream.
+
+"Help, help!" Anna and Ben cry. "We are stuck in the hole!"
+
+They hear footsteps and voices above them. They look up. They see a man and a woman. They are wearing costumes and makeup. They are the actors from the show.
+
+"What are you doing here?" the man asks. "How did you get in?"
+
+"We saw the poster," Anna says. "We wanted to see the show. We are sorry."
+
+The woman looks at them. She smiles. She says: "Don't be sorry. You are brave and curious. You are like the heroes of the fairy tales. Come, we will help you out. And then you can watch the show with us. You are our guests."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They thank the woman. They climb out of the hole. They follow the actors to the stage. They see the castle and the princess. They see the rich and beautiful fairy tale show. They clap and cheer. They have fun. They make new friends. They are glad they slipped into the hole.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they do not like to share. On Wednesday, Mom said they had to share the big box of crayons. Ben wanted all the blue crayons. Mia wanted all the pink crayons. They both grabbed the box and pulled hard.
+
+"Let go, Ben!" Mia said. "I want the pink ones!"
+
+"No, let go, Mia!" Ben said. "I want the blue ones!"
+
+Mom heard them and came to the room. She saw the box of crayons on the floor. Some crayons were broken. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben and Mia, stop fighting!" Mom said. "You have to share the crayons. They are useful for making pictures. You can both use different colors. Why don't you draw something together?"
+
+Ben and Mia looked at Mom. They knew she was right. They felt sorry for breaking the crayons. They did not want to resist Mom. They wanted to make her happy.
+
+"Okay, Mom," Ben said. "We will share the crayons. I will use some blue and some green."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Mia said. "I will use some pink and some purple."
+
+They picked up the crayons and the paper. They sat on the table and started to draw. They made a picture of their family and their dog. They used many colors. They showed Mom their picture. Mom smiled and hugged them.
+
+"That's a beautiful picture, Ben and Mia," Mom said. "I'm proud of you for sharing and being kind. You are good twins."
+
+Ben and Mia smiled and hugged Mom. They were happy. They liked to share and make pictures. They liked to make Mom proud. They liked Wednesday.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big bird on a tree. The bird had red and yellow feathers and a long tail. It was singing a pretty song.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It is so beautiful and bright. I want to touch it."
+
+"No, Lily, you can't touch the bird," Tom said. "The bird is wild. It might bite you or fly away. You have to be gentle and quiet."
+
+But Lily did not listen to Tom. She had a strong urge to touch the bird. She ran to the tree and reached out her hand. The bird saw Lily and got scared. It flapped its wings and flew away.
+
+"Come back, bird, come back!" Lily cried. She was sad and sorry. She had scared the bird away.
+
+Tom came to Lily and hugged her. He was a good friend. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. The bird is not gone forever. Maybe it will come back another day. We can watch it from far away and listen to its song. That is how we can show the bird we like it."
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "You are right, Tom. I was wrong to try to touch the bird. I will be gentle and quiet next time. Thank you for being my friend."
+
+They smiled and held hands. They walked to the bench and sat down. They saw the bird flying in the sky. It was still singing a pretty song. They felt happy and mild. They learned a lesson that day.
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a blue rabbit hopping near the fence. They ran after it and caught it in their arms.
+
+"Wow, look at this rabbit! It is so soft and blue!" Tom said.
+
+"Can we keep it, please?" Anna asked.
+
+They took the rabbit to their house and showed it to their mom. She smiled and said, "It is a very pretty rabbit, but it is not yours. It belongs to Mr. Lee, our neighbor. He has a farm with many animals. He must be looking for his rabbit. You should return it to him."
+
+"But we like the rabbit, mom. Can we not keep it for a while?" Tom and Anna begged.
+
+"No, you cannot. It is not fair to Mr. Lee or the rabbit. The rabbit needs its home and its friends. How would you feel if someone took your toys or your pets away from you?" Mom said.
+
+Tom and Anna thought about it and realized that mom was right. They did not want to make Mr. Lee or the rabbit sad. They decided to return the rabbit to Mr. Lee. They put the rabbit in a basket and walked to his farm. They knocked on his door and said, "Hello, Mr. Lee. We found your blue rabbit in our garden. We are sorry for taking it. We wanted to play with it, but we know it is yours. Here it is."
+
+Mr. Lee was very happy to see his rabbit. He thanked Tom and Anna for bringing it back. He said, "You are very kind and honest children. I appreciate your honesty. You can come and visit my farm anytime and play with my animals. They will like you too."
+
+Tom and Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lee. We would love to visit your farm. We are sorry for taking your rabbit. We learned that we should not take things that are not ours. We should respect other people's things and feelings."
+
+They hugged the rabbit goodbye and waved to Mr. Lee. They walked back to their house with their mom. They felt good about returning the rabbit. They learned a valuable lesson that day.
+Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They had a kite to fly. The kite was red and blue and had a long tail. Mom helped them to hold the kite and run with it. The wind was strong and made the kite go high in the sky.
+
+"Look, Mom, look!" Lily shouted. "Our kite is so high!"
+
+"It is, sweetie, it is!" Mom said. "You are doing a great job!"
+
+Ben smiled and held the kite string. He liked to feel the kite pull and tug. He felt like he was flying too. He wanted to talk to the kite.
+
+"Hello, kite, hello!" he said. "Do you like the wind? Do you like the sky?"
+
+The kite did not answer, but it danced and spun in the air. It seemed to like the wind and the sky very much.
+
+Lily and Ben laughed and watched the kite. They were happy. They did not see the big cloud that was coming. The cloud was dark and thick. It had rain and thunder in it. It was not a friendly cloud.
+
+The cloud came over the park and covered the sun. It made the wind stronger and colder. It started to rain and thunder. The rain was wet and heavy. The thunder was loud and scary.
+
+Lily and Ben did not like the rain and the thunder. They wanted to go home. They wanted to be warm and dry.
+
+"Mom, Mom, can we go home?" they asked. "We don't like the rain and the thunder!"
+
+"Of course, my loves, of course!" Mom said. "Let's go home!"
+
+Mom took the kite string from Ben and tried to pull the kite down. But the kite did not want to come down. The wind was too strong and the kite was too high. The kite string was thin and slippery. It slipped from Mom's hand and flew away with the kite.
+
+"Mom, Mom, our kite!" Lily and Ben cried. "Our kite is gone!"
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves, I'm sorry!" Mom said. "The wind took our kite. Maybe we can find it later. Or maybe we can make a new one. But now we have to go home. Come on, hold my hand!"
+
+Lily and Ben held Mom's hand and ran to the car. They were sad and wet and cold. They missed their kite. They hoped the kite was okay. They hoped the kite would find a nice place to land. They hoped they would see the kite again.
+Lily was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy gave her some juice and a pill. She put a thermometer in Lily's mouth to see how hot she was. Lily did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made her tongue feel funny.
+
+Mommy looked at the thermometer and frowned. She said Lily had a fever and needed to rest. She took Lily to her bed and tucked her in. She gave her a teddy bear and a book. She said she would come back soon to check on her. Lily felt sad and lonely. She wanted Mommy to stay with her.
+
+Lily hugged her teddy bear and opened the book. It was her favorite book. It was about a girl who had a brilliant adventure in a magic land. She met a lion, a witch, and a wardrobe. She helped her friends fight the bad witch and save the land. She became a queen and had a crown and a sword. Lily wished she could go to the magic land too. She wished she could be brave and strong like the girl in the book.
+
+As Lily read the book, she felt her eyes get heavy. She started to fall asleep. She dreamed that she was in the magic land. She saw the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. She heard the lion roar and the witch laugh. She felt the cold snow and the warm sun. She smelled the flowers and the fire. She tasted the candy and the tea. She touched the crown and the sword.
+
+Lily woke up and saw Mommy sitting by her bed. Mommy smiled and said Lily's fever was gone. She said Lily was better and could get up. She said she was proud of Lily for being so brave and strong. She said she loved Lily very much. She hugged Lily and kissed her forehead. Lily felt happy and warm. She told Mommy about her dream. She said she had a brilliant adventure in a magic land. She said she met a lion, a witch, and a wardrobe. She said she helped her friends fight the bad witch and save the land. She said she became a queen and had a crown and a sword. Mommy listened and nodded. She said it was a wonderful dream. She said it was a comfort to know that Lily had such a big imagination. She said it was a gift to have such a good book. She said it was a joy to have such a sweet daughter. She said she loved Lily very much. She hugged Lily and kissed her forehead again. Lily felt happy and warm. She loved Mommy very much. She hugged Mommy and kissed her cheek. She said thank you for the juice, the pill, the teddy bear, and the book. She said thank you for the comfort, the brilliant adventure, and the love.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall towers and knock them down with their cars. Sara was very good at making towers, but Ben always struggled to balance the blocks. He wanted to make a tower as high as Sara's, but his blocks kept falling.
+
+"Look, Sara, I did it!" Ben shouted, as he finally put the last block on his tower. He was very proud of his work.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's a great tower!" Sara said, smiling. She was happy for her brother. "But be careful, don't touch it or it will fall."
+
+Just then, they felt a big shake under their feet. The floor, the walls, and the ceiling started to move. It was an earthquake! Sara and Ben were scared. They dropped their toys and ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, what's happening?" they cried, as they hugged her.
+
+"It's okay, my loves, it's just an earthquake. It will be over soon. We have to stay calm and safe," their mom said, as she held them tight.
+
+They heard a loud crash from the living room. They looked and saw that their towers of blocks had collapsed. The blocks were everywhere, some broken, some rolling, some under the sofa.
+
+"Oh no, our towers!" Sara and Ben said, sadly.
+
+Their mom kissed them and said, "Don't worry, we can build them again later. The most important thing is that we are all okay. We are very lucky and grateful that nothing bad happened to us."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They realized that their mom was right. They were lucky and grateful to have each other. They hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mommy."
+
+They waited until the earthquake stopped. Then they helped their mom clean up the mess. They decided to make a new game with the blocks. They pretended that they were rescuing people and animals from the rubble. They had fun and learned to be brave. They were happy.
+Tim and Anna were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. But Tim was not very good at sharing. He wanted to have all the cars for himself.
+
+"Give me that car!" he said to Anna, and snatched a red car from her hand.
+
+"No, Tim, that's mine!" Anna said, and tried to get it back.
+
+They pulled and tugged on the car, until it broke in two. Tim and Anna both looked at the broken car and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and the miserable children.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked.
+
+"Tim took my car and broke it!" Anna said.
+
+"I wanted to play with it!" Tim said.
+
+Mom shook her head and sighed. She picked up the pieces of the car and looked at them.
+
+"Maybe I can fix it," she said. "But you two need to learn how to share and be nice to each other. Why don't you try to play with something else while I work on the car?"
+
+She gave them each a different toy and went to the kitchen. Tim and Anna looked at their new toys and felt bored. They missed their car.
+
+"Maybe we can play with the window," Tim said.
+
+"The window?" Anna said.
+
+"Yeah, look, it can go up and down, and we can see outside," Tim said.
+
+He went to the window and pushed the button. The window went down and showed the garden. He pushed the button again and the window went up and closed.
+
+"That's fun," Anna said, and joined him. They took turns pushing the button and making the window go up and down.
+
+But then they pushed the button too hard and the window got stuck. It would not go up or down anymore. Tim and Anna tried to push and pull the window, but it did not move.
+
+"Oh no, we broke the window!" Tim said.
+
+"We're in trouble!" Anna said.
+
+They heard Mom coming back from the kitchen. She had the car in her hand. She had fixed it with some glue and tape.
+
+"Look, I fixed your car!" she said. "Do you want to play with it again?"
+
+But then she saw the window and gasped.
+
+"What did you do to the window?" she asked.
+
+Tim and Anna looked at each other and felt very sorry.
+
+"We were playing with it and it got stuck," Tim said.
+
+"We didn't mean to break it," Anna said.
+
+Mom put the car on the table and went to the window. She tried to reverse it, but it did not work.
+
+"Oh, dear, this is a big problem," she said. "We need to call Dad and ask him to help us. He knows how to fix windows."
+
+She took her phone and called Dad. Tim and Anna sat on the couch and waited. They did not feel like playing anymore. They wished they had shared the car and been nice to each other. They learned their lesson.
+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a huge cart that they could push and pull. They liked to fill the cart with their dolls, cars, books and balls, and pretend they were going on a trip.
+
+One day, they decided to take their cart to the park. They put on their hats and coats, and asked their mom if they could go. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay close to her. Sam and Lily agreed, and they took their cart outside.
+
+At the park, they saw many other children playing. Some were on the swings, some were on the slide, some were on the seesaw. Sam and Lily wanted to try them all, but they did not want to leave their cart alone. They looked for a place where they could park their cart and watch it.
+
+They found a bench near a big tree, and they put their cart next to it. They told their cart to stay there, and they ran to the swings. They had fun swinging high and low, and they waved to their mom who was sitting on another bench.
+
+But when they came back to their cart, they saw a boy and a girl taking their toys out of it. The boy had Sam's car, and the girl had Lily's doll. Sam and Lily were angry and sad. They ran to the boy and the girl, and shouted:
+
+"Hey, those are our toys! They belong to us! Give them back!"
+
+The boy and the girl looked surprised and scared. They did not know that the cart and the toys had owners. They thought they were just lying there for anyone to play with. They quickly dropped the toys and ran away.
+
+Sam and Lily picked up their toys and put them back in their cart. They hugged their cart and each other. They were happy to have their toys back. They decided to stay with their cart and not leave it again. They played with their toys on the bench, and shared them with each other. They thanked their cart for being their best friend.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, climb and swing. One day, they saw a big house near the park. It had a tall chimney on the roof. Tom and Lily wanted to see the chimney up close.
+
+They ran to the house and climbed the fence. They saw a ladder leaning on the wall. They thought it was fun to climb the ladder. They did not see the sign that said "Keep out". They did not hear the dog barking inside the house.
+
+They reached the roof and saw the chimney. It was unique. It had many colors and shapes on it. Tom and Lily wanted to touch it. They walked to the edge of the roof. They did not see the hole in the roof. They did not feel the roof breaking under their feet.
+
+They fell through the hole and landed in the fireplace. They were covered in soot and ash. They were scared and hurt. They cried for help. They did not know the fire was on. They did not see the flames coming up the chimney.
+
+They burned in the fire. They did not play in the park anymore. They did not swing anymore. They did not see the unique chimney anymore. They were gone.
+Tim and Mia like to ride their bikes in the park. They have red bikes with shiny pedals and bells. They wear helmets and gloves to be safe.
+
+One day, the sky is gloomy and gray. It looks like it will rain soon. Tim and Mia are sad. They want to go to the park, but their mom says no.
+
+"Can we please go, mom?" Tim asks. "We will be back soon."
+
+"Sorry, sweetie, but it is too wet and cold outside. You might get sick or slip on the road. Why don't you play inside instead?" mom says.
+
+Tim and Mia sigh. They do not like to play inside. They want to feel the wind and the sun on their faces. They want to hear the birds and the leaves. They want to pedal fast and ring their bells.
+
+They go to their room and look at their bikes. They are lonely and dusty. Tim and Mia have an idea. They take their bikes to the living room. They put them on the carpet and pretend they are in the park.
+
+They stretch their legs and arms and pedal hard. They ring their bells and laugh. They make sounds of animals and cars. They imagine they are on a big adventure.
+
+Mom hears them and smiles. She is happy they are having fun. She brings them some cookies and milk. She tells them stories of when she was a little girl and rode her bike in the park.
+
+Tim and Mia listen and eat. They feel warm and cozy. They thank mom and hug her. They still like to ride their bikes in the park, but they also like to ride them in the living room. They know they can have fun anywhere, even on a gloomy day.
+Anna was a wealthy girl who lived in a big house with many toys. She liked to play with her dolls and dress them in pretty clothes. She had a nanny who took care of her and cooked her yummy food. But Anna was not happy. She wanted to have a friend to play with and talk to.
+
+One day, Anna saw a mail truck stop in front of her house. She ran to the window and watched the mailman take out a big box. She wondered what was inside. Maybe it was a gift for her. Maybe it was a new toy. She hoped it was something fun.
+
+She heard the doorbell ring and ran to the door. She opened it and saw the mailman holding the box. He smiled and said, "Hello, little lady. I have a special delivery for you. Can you sign here?"
+
+Anna took the pen and scribbled her name on the paper. She was so excited. She grabbed the box and thanked the mailman. She closed the door and dragged the box to her room. She opened it and gasped. Inside was a big, fluffy, white puppy. It had a red bow around its neck and a tag that said, "To Anna, from Grandma. Happy birthday, sweetie. I hope you like your new friend."
+
+Anna was overjoyed. She hugged the puppy and kissed its nose. The puppy licked her face and wagged its tail. It was so cute and soft. Anna named it Snowy and put it on her bed. She said, "Hello, Snowy. I'm Anna. I'm your new mommy. We're going to have so much fun together. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Snowy barked and jumped off the bed. It ran around the room and sniffed everything. It found Anna's dolls and started to chew on them. Anna was not happy. She said, "No, Snowy. Those are my dolls. You can't bite them. They're not for you."
+
+Snowy did not listen. It kept biting the dolls and tearing their clothes. Anna tried to stop it, but it was too fast and strong. It ran under the bed and hid. Anna was angry. She said, "Snowy, come out. You're a bad puppy. You ruined my dolls. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+Snowy whimpered and crawled out from under the bed. It looked at Anna with sad eyes and wagged its tail. It wanted to say sorry. It wanted to be friends. It crawled to Anna and nudged her hand. It licked her fingers and looked at her with love.
+
+Anna felt sorry too. She realized that Snowy was just a baby and did not know better. She realized that Snowy was lonely and bored. She realized that Snowy was her friend and needed her. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Snowy. I forgive you. You're a good puppy. You just need to learn some rules. Come on, let's go outside and play. I'll show you my garden and my swing. We'll have fun together. I love you, Snowy."
+
+Snowy barked and jumped on Anna. It licked her face and wagged its tail. It was happy and grateful. It loved Anna too. They went outside and played. They ran and chased and rolled and laughed. They were the best friends ever. And they lived happily ever after.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making things with blocks, cars, dolls and animals. Sara wanted to make a big house for her dolls, so she asked Ben to help her.
+
+"Ben, can you give me some glue?" Sara said. "I want to stick these blocks together."
+
+"OK, Sara," Ben said. He looked for the glue in the toy box, but he could not find it. He saw a bottle on the table, but it was not glue. It was juice. He did not know that.
+
+"Here, Sara," Ben said. He gave her the bottle. "This is glue."
+
+Sara opened the bottle and tried to squeeze some glue on the blocks. But nothing came out. She shook the bottle hard, and then juice splashed everywhere. It got on the blocks, on the toys, on the carpet, on Sara and on Ben.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara said. "This is not glue! This is juice! We made a big mess!"
+
+Ben and Sara were very surprised and scared. They did not want to get in trouble. They tried to clean up the juice with some paper, but it did not work. The juice was sticky and wet.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a noise. It was their mom. She was coming back from the store. She appeared in the door and saw the mess.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom said. She was not happy.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They were very sorry. They learned a lesson. They should not use things without asking. And they should not confuse juice with glue.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a vest in a box. The vest is red and shiny. It has a button on it.
+
+"Look, a vest!" Tom says. "Can I try it on?"
+
+"OK, but be careful," Sue says. "Maybe it is not ours."
+
+Tom puts on the vest. He feels warm and happy. He presses the button. The vest starts to glow. It makes bright colors in the air.
+
+"Wow, you glow!" Sue says. "You look like a star!"
+
+Tom laughs. He runs around the yard. He makes shapes with the vest. He makes a circle, a triangle, and a heart.
+
+Sue claps her hands. She likes the show. She wants to try the vest too.
+
+"Can I have a turn?" she asks.
+
+"Sure, it is easy," Tom says. He takes off the vest. He gives it to Sue. She puts it on. She presses the button. She glows too.
+
+They take turns with the vest. They have fun. They glow and giggle. They do not see the man who is watching them. He is the owner of the vest. He is not happy. He wants his vest back. He walks towards them. He looks angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" he shouts. "Give me my vest! It is not a toy! It is a magic vest!"
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. They ran up the hill and looked at the sky.
+
+"Wow, look at the stars!" Lily said. "They are so shiny and pretty."
+
+"I like stars," Ben said. "They make shapes and stories. Do you know any star stories?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not know any star stories. She thought stars were boring. She wanted to play something else.
+
+"Let's go down the hill and play tag," she said. "Star stories are boring. Tag is fun."
+
+Ben frowned. He liked star stories. He wanted to tell Lily a star story. He thought tag was boring. Tag was always the same.
+
+"Please, Lily, listen to my star story," he said. "It is not boring. It is about a brave star who stopped a bad star from hurting the other stars."
+
+Lily sighed. She did not want to hurt Ben's feelings. She decided to listen to his star story. Maybe it was not so boring after all.
+
+"Okay, Ben, tell me your star story," she said. "But make it quick. I still want to play tag."
+
+Ben smiled. He was happy that Lily agreed to listen to his star story. He pointed at the sky and began to tell his story. He hoped that Lily would like it. He hoped that they could still be friends. He hoped that they could play tag later.
+Tom and Lily liked to play on the beach. They liked to design castles with sand and shells. They used buckets and spades and sticks. They made big walls and towers and flags.
+
+One day, they saw a big wave coming. It was the tide. The tide made the water go up and down. Tom and Lily ran away from the water. They did not want to get wet. But they forgot their castles.
+
+When they came back, they saw that the tide had washed away their castles. They felt sad and angry. They looked for their buckets and spades and sticks. They could not find them.
+
+"Where are our things?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe someone took them," Lily said.
+
+They saw a boy and a girl playing with their buckets and spades and sticks. They were making their own castles. Tom and Lily felt more angry.
+
+"Hey, those are ours!" Tom shouted.
+
+"No, they are not. We found them here," the boy said.
+
+"You did not. You stole them from us," Lily said.
+
+The boy and the girl looked guilty. They knew they had done something bad. They did not want to fight. They gave back the buckets and spades and sticks.
+
+"Sorry, we did not know they were yours," the girl said.
+
+"Next time, ask before you take," Tom said.
+
+"Or better, share and play together," Lily said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. The boy and the girl smiled. They decided to be friends. They helped each other to design new castles. They had fun on the beach. They watched the tide go up and down. They did not forget their things.
+Tom and Sue wanted to buy a toy car. They saw a big, red car in the shop. It had four wheels, a horn and a door. The car looked very fun.
+
+"How much is the car?" Tom asked the shop man.
+
+"The car is ten coins," the shop man said. "That is the price."
+
+Tom and Sue had only five coins. They felt sad. They could not buy the car.
+
+"Maybe we can find more coins," Sue said. "Let's look around."
+
+They looked around the shop. They saw many things. They saw books, dolls, balls and trains. They also saw a big sack. The sack was near the door. It was fat and heavy.
+
+"What is in the sack?" Tom wondered.
+
+"Maybe it is full of coins," Sue said. "Let's open it and see."
+
+They went to the sack. They pulled the string. The sack opened. Out came many coins. They rolled on the floor. Tom and Sue were happy. They had found more coins.
+
+"Look, we have enough coins to buy the car!" Tom said.
+
+"Let's go and pay the shop man," Sue said.
+
+They picked up the coins. They ran to the shop man. They gave him the coins. They took the car.
+
+"Thank you for the car," Tom and Sue said.
+
+"You're welcome," the shop man said. "But where did you get the coins?"
+
+Tom and Sue looked at each other. They did not know what to say.
+
+The shop man looked at the sack. He saw it was empty. He saw the coins on the floor. He knew what had happened.
+
+"Hey, those are my coins!" the shop man shouted. "You took them from my sack!"
+
+He was angry. He ran after Tom and Sue. He wanted his coins back.
+
+Tom and Sue were scared. They had done a bad thing. They had taken the shop man's coins. They had not asked him.
+
+They ran out of the shop. They got in the car. They drove away.
+
+The shop man could not catch them. He was too fat and slow.
+
+Tom and Sue escaped. They had the car. But they did not feel happy. They felt sorry. They had made the shop man sad. They had been naughty.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned that taking things without asking is wrong. They learned that the price of the car was too high. They learned that the sack was not a gift. It was a trap.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find some chalk on the ground. They pick up the chalk and draw on the wall.
+
+"Look, I draw a cat!" Lily says. She makes a big circle for the body and a small circle for the head. She adds two ears, a tail and four legs.
+
+"That is a good cat!" Sam says. He draws a dog next to the cat. He makes a big oval for the body and a small oval for the head. He adds two ears, a tail and four legs.
+
+"Can the cat and the dog talk?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, they can!" Sam says. He writes some words with the chalk under the animals. He writes "woof" under the dog and "meow" under the cat.
+
+Lily and Sam are happy. They read the words and make the sounds. They pretend the cat and the dog are their pets. They are very creative. They have fun with the chalk.
+Lila and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lila has a potato that she pretends is a baby. She puts a hat and a scarf on the potato and hugs it. Ben has a car that he zooms around the floor. He likes to make loud noises with his mouth.
+
+"Look at my baby potato," Lila says to Ben. "She is so cute and warm."
+
+"Your potato is not a baby," Ben says. "It is a food. You can eat it."
+
+"No, I can't eat my baby potato," Lila says. "She is my friend. I love her."
+
+Ben shrugs and keeps playing with his car. He drives it under the sofa and behind the table. He has fun making turns and jumps.
+
+Lila puts her baby potato on the couch and goes to get a blanket. She wants to make a bed for her baby potato. She thinks her baby potato is sleepy.
+
+But when she comes back, she can't find her baby potato. She looks on the couch, on the floor, on the table. She can't see her baby potato anywhere.
+
+"Ben, where is my baby potato?" Lila asks. "Did you take her?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He is still playing with his car. He doesn't care about the potato.
+
+"I don't know where your potato is," Ben says. "Maybe it rolled away."
+
+Lila feels sad and scared. She thinks she lost her baby potato. She starts to cry.
+

+
+Mommy hears Lila and comes to the living room. She sees Lila crying and Ben playing.
+

+
+"I lost my baby potato, mommy," Lila says. "She was on the couch and then she was gone. I can't find her."

+
+Mommy smiles and kisses Lila. She is glad Lila is happy again.
+
+"You're welcome, Lila," Mommy says. "But you know, potatoes are not really babies. They are food. You can't play with them forever. They will get old and bad."
+
+Lila nods. She knows Mommy is right. But she still loves her baby potato. She thinks her baby potato is fit. She thinks her baby potato is the best potato in the world.

+
+They walk to the cloth and pick it up. They wave it in the air. They make a tent with it. They hide under it and pretend to be animals.

+
+"Wow, you look cool," Ben says. "Can I see your face?" Lily shakes her head. She wants to keep the mystery. She runs out of the room. Ben follows her. They enter the living room, where Mom and Dad are reading.
+
+"Who are you?" Mom asks, pretending to be scared. "Are you a friend or a foe?" Lily giggles. She likes to make Mom and Dad guess. She does not say anything. She just points at Ben.
+
+"Is this your partner in crime?" Dad asks. "Or are you here to save us from him?" Ben laughs. He likes to play along. He says, "I don't know who she is. She is a mysterious stranger. Maybe she has a secret mission."

+
+One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry. It had a collar and a leash. The dog's owner was a man. He smiled at Lily and her parents.
+
+"Hello, this is Max. He is a friendly dog. Do you want to pet him?" the man asked.
+
+Lily nodded. She loved animals. She walked to the dog and reached out her hand. The dog sniffed her hand and licked it. Lily giggled.
+
+"Hi, Max. You are a nice dog. Can I give you a hug?" Lily said.
+
+The man nodded. "Sure, he likes hugs. But be gentle and quiet. He is a bit shy."
+
+Lily hugged the dog softly. She felt his warm fur and his heartbeat. The dog wagged his tail and nuzzled her cheek. Lily smiled.
+

+Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They had many toys and clothes and books, and they went to a nice school. They were wealthy, but they did not know what that meant. They just liked to play and learn and have fun.
+
+One day, they went to visit their grandma, who lived in a small apartment in the city. They had not seen her for a long time, and they were excited to hug her and show her their drawings. Grandma was happy to see them, and she gave them cookies and milk. She had a small sofa and a small TV and a small kitchen, and she shared her bedroom with her cat.
+
+Tom and Lily wanted to use the bathroom, so they asked Grandma where it was. She pointed to a door at the end of the hall. "It's right there, my dears. But be careful, it's a bit old and leaky. Sometimes the water doesn't come out, and sometimes it comes out too much. And the toilet makes a loud noise when you flush it. Don't be scared, it's just how it is."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and walked to the door. They opened it and saw a small bathroom with a cracked sink, a rusty tub, and a toilet with a chain. They had never seen a bathroom like this before. It seemed strange and scary to them. They looked at each other and whispered.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this bathroom. It's dirty and broken. Why does Grandma have this bathroom?"
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe she doesn't have enough money to fix it. Maybe she can't move to a better place. Maybe she likes it this way."
+
+"But we have a nice bathroom at home. It's big and clean and shiny. And we have a shower and a fan and a soft rug. Why can't Grandma have a nice bathroom too?"
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe we should ask her. Maybe we should help her. Maybe we should give her some of our toys and clothes and books. Maybe that would make her happy."
+
+Tom and Lily decided to do that. They went back to the living room and told Grandma that they wanted to share their things with her. Grandma smiled and hugged them. She thanked them for their kindness and generosity. She told them that she loved them very much, and that she was proud of them. She told them that they were wealthy, not because of what they had, but because of what they gave. She told them that they had big hearts, and that was the most important thing. Tom and Lily understood, and they felt happy too. They learned a new word that day: wealthy. And they learned a new way to be it.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. They found a big hole under a tree. They wanted to see what was inside.

+
+A small voice answered, "Yes, I am here. Who are you?"
+
+"We are Tim and Lily. We are children. We like to play. Who are you?" Lily asked.
+
+"I am Mole. I live in this hole. I am sad. I have no friends. Everyone is afraid of me. They say I am ugly and dirty. They run away from me." Mole said.
+
+Tim and Lily felt sorry for Mole. They did not think he was ugly or dirty. They thought he was cute and soft.
+
+"Mole, we are not afraid of you. We want to be your friends. You can play with us. We have a ball and a kite and a swing. Do you want to come out and play?" Tim said.
+
+Mole was surprised and happy. He had never been invited to play before. He wanted to try new things. He crawled out of his hole and met Tim and Lily. They smiled at him and gave him a hug.
+
+"Thank you for being my friends. You are very nice. What do you want to play first?" Mole asked.
+
+"How about we play with the kite? We can hang it in the sky and watch it fly. It is very fun." Lily said.
+
+"OK, let's play with the kite. I have never seen a kite before. It looks very pretty." Mole said.
+
+Tim, Lily and Mole ran to the field and played with the kite. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and talked and shared stories. Mole felt happy. He had found friends. He was not sad anymore.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys. Lily liked the dolls and Ben liked the cars. They shared their toys and had fun.
+
+"Look, I found a bell!" Ben said. He showed Lily a shiny red bell with a silver handle. "It makes a loud sound. Ding ding ding!"
+
+"Wow, that's a pretty bell!" Lily said. "Can I try it?"
+
+"Sure, you can try it. You are my friend and I am generous." Ben said. He gave the bell to Lily. She shook it and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very generous. Can we play a game with the bell?" Lily asked.
+
+"Okay, what game do you want to play?" Ben asked.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek with the bell. You hide the bell somewhere in the garden and I try to find it by listening to the sound. Then we switch." Lily said.
+
+"Okay, that sounds fun. You close your eyes and count to ten. I will hide the bell." Ben said.
+
+Lily closed her eyes and counted. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!"
+
+Ben ran to a corner of the garden and dug a hole with his hands. He buried the bell in the hole and covered it with dirt. He thought it was a good hiding place.
+
+Lily opened her eyes and looked around. She did not see the bell. She walked around the garden and listened carefully. She heard a faint ding ding ding from the corner. She followed the sound and found the hole.
+
+"Is the bell here?" She asked.
+
+"Yes, you found it! You are very smart!" Ben said. He came out of his hiding place and clapped his hands.
+
+Lily dug out the bell and shook it. "Ding ding ding! I found it! It was a good hiding place, Ben. But I heard the sound. Now it's my turn to hide the bell. You close your eyes and count to ten." She said.
+
+"Okay, I will close my eyes and count. You hide the bell well." Ben said.
+
+Lily took the bell and ran to another part of the garden. She looked for a good hiding place. She saw a big flower pot with a plant. She lifted the plant and put the bell under it. She put the plant back and smiled.
+
+"Ready!" She shouted.
+
+Ben opened his eyes and looked around. He did not see the bell. He walked around the garden and listened carefully. He heard a faint ding ding ding from the flower pot. He followed the sound and found the plant.
+
+"Is the bell here?" He asked.
+
+"Yes, you found it! You are very smart!" Lily said. She came out of her hiding place and clapped her hands.
+
+Ben lifted the plant and took the bell. "Ding ding ding! I found it! It was a good hiding place, Lily. But I heard the sound. You are very clever. Can we play again?" He asked.
+
+"Sure, we can play again. You are very generous. I like playing with you and the bell." Lily said.
+
+They hugged and laughed. They played hide and seek with the bell until it was time to go inside. They put the bell back in the box and said goodbye. They were happy and had a lot of fun.
+Lila and Tom were playing near the big cliff. They liked to throw rocks and watch them fall. They saw a thin rope hanging from the top of the cliff. Lila wanted to climb it.
+
+"Look, Tom, a rope! Let's go up and see what's there!" Lila said.
+
+"No, Lila, that's too dangerous. The rope might break. And we don't know what's up there. Maybe a big bear or a mean man," Tom said.
+
+But Lila did not listen. She ran to the rope and grabbed it. She started to pull herself up. Tom was scared. He followed her.
+
+"Lila, come back! Please!" Tom shouted.
+
+But Lila did not hear him. She was too excited. She climbed higher and higher. She reached the top of the cliff. She saw a big pile of leaves. She thought it was a soft bed. She jumped on it.
+
+But the leaves were not a bed. They were a cover. They covered a big hole. Lila fell into the hole. She screamed.
+
+Tom heard her scream. He climbed to the top of the cliff. He saw the hole. He saw the leaves. He was too late. He could not help Lila. He cried.
+Sara liked to grow flowers in her garden. She had many colors and shapes of flowers. She watered them every day and sang to them. She was very happy with her flowers.
+
+One day, a big truck came to her house. It had a big box for Sara. Sara was curious and excited. She opened the box and saw many seeds. They were a gift from her aunt. The seeds were for unusual flowers. They had strange names and pictures on the packets.
+
+Sara wanted to try the unusual seeds. She made a new spot in her garden for them. She planted the seeds and watered them. She waited for them to grow.
+
+But the unusual flowers did not grow like the other flowers. They grew very fast and very big. They had weird colors and smells. They took up a lot of space and blocked the sun. They made Sara's other flowers sad and sick.
+
+Sara did not like the unusual flowers. She wished she had not planted them. She wanted her old flowers back. She did not know what to do. She was very unhappy with her flowers.

+
+Dan takes the boat and runs to the pond. He throws the boat in the water and watches it float. He laughs and claps his hands. He does not see the duck that swims near the boat.

+Tom and Sue see what happens and run to the pond. They are angry and sad too. They shout at Dan and try to get their boat back. But it is too late. The boat is gone. Dan says he is sorry and cries. He did not mean to ruin their boat. He offers them his ball as a gift. But Tom and Sue do not want his ball. They want their boat.
+
+They go home and tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them and says she is sorry. She says she knows how much they value their boat. She says she will buy them a new boat soon. She says they should forgive Dan and be friends. She says Dan made a mistake and feels bad. She says they should value their friends too. Tom and Sue think about it and nod. They say they will try to be nice to Dan. They hope he will be nice to them too. They still miss their boat, but they feel a little better.

+
+"Spot, stop!" Sam and Max say. They run after Spot. They try to catch him.
+
+But Spot is too fast. He runs out of the park. He runs across the street. He runs into a yard. He sees a yellow house. He sees a yellow door. He sees a yellow sign. The sign says "Beware of the cat".
+
+Spot does not see the cat. He runs to the door. He drops the ball. He barks at the door.
+
+The cat sees Spot. The cat does not like Spot. The cat does not like dogs. The cat does not like barks. The cat is angry. The cat jumps out of the window. The cat lands on Spot's head. The cat scratches Spot's ears. The cat hisses at Spot.

+
+"Maybe we can find a stick," Tom says.
+
+"Or a ladder," Lily says.
+
+They look around. They do not see a stick or a ladder. They are sad. They want their ball back.
+
+"Maybe we can ask someone for help," Tom says.
+
+"Or maybe we can make a new ball," Lily says.
+
+They think. They have an idea. They smile. They run to the sandbox. They find some sand and some water. They make a new ball. It is not green. It is brown. But it is soft and round.

+
+Anna rubbed her eyes and looked at Tom. She saw the mosquito too. She was not scared or angry. She was humble and smart. She knew how to deal with mosquitoes.
+
+"Tom, don't worry," she said. "We have a cover. We can use it to protect ourselves. Watch me."
+
+She took the cover and wrapped it around her head and body. She left a small hole for her nose and mouth. She looked like a ghost. She smiled at Tom.
+
+"See, Tom? Now the mosquito can't bite me. It can't get through the cover. You do the same. Then we can sleep again."
+
+Tom nodded and did what Anna said. He took the cover and wrapped it around his head and body. He left a small hole for his nose and mouth. He looked like a ghost too. He smiled at Anna.
+
+"Thank you, Anna," he said. "You are very humble and smart. You know how to deal with mosquitoes. I'm sorry I woke you up."
+
+Anna hugged Tom and said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are very brave and kind. You don't have to be sorry. We are siblings. We help each other."

+Lily waited for Tim to find her. She smiled. She was good at hiding.
+
+But then, she heard a growl. She felt something furry and wet touch her leg. She screamed.
+
+"Help! Help! There's a dog in here!"
+
+Tim heard Lily's scream. He ran to the hole and looked inside. He saw a playful dog wagging its tail and licking Lily's face. He laughed.
+
+"Don't be scared, Lily. It's just a dog. He wants to play with you."
+
+Lily calmed down. She saw the dog's friendly eyes and soft ears. She petted the dog and laughed too.
+
+"Hi, dog. You're nice. What's your name?"
+
+The dog barked. He liked Tim and Lily. He wanted to be their friend.

+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass. They had many cars, but their favorite was a big red truck that was very dependable. It could go fast and carry a lot of things.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make the truck jump over this rock!" Ben said, as he pushed the truck with his hand.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily said, as she watched the truck fly in the air and land on the other side.
+
+But then, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, the neighbor's dog. He had escaped from his yard and ran towards them. He saw the truck and thought it was a toy for him. He grabbed it with his mouth and shook it hard.
+
+"Hey, Rex, stop it! That's our truck!" Ben shouted, as he ran after the dog.
+
+"Give it back, Rex! You're spoiling our game!" Lily cried, as she followed Ben.
+
+But Rex was too fast and too strong. He ran away with the truck and tore it apart. He left a trail of wreck behind him. The truck was broken and dirty. It was not dependable anymore.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad. They loved their truck and they had no other like it. They sat on the grass and looked at the wreck.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. It was my fault. I shouldn't have made the truck jump over the rock. Maybe Rex wouldn't have seen it then." Ben said, as he hugged his sister.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. It was not your fault. Rex was a bad dog. He shouldn't have taken our truck and spoiled it." Lily said, as she hugged him back.
+
+They decided to go inside and tell their mom what happened. Maybe she could help them fix the truck or get a new one. They hoped Rex would not come back and spoil their other toys. They learned to be more careful with their things and to watch out for Rex.

+
+"No, Mia, you cannot have it. It is my cube. It is important to me. I made it with four other blocks. See?" Tim says, showing Mia how he put the blocks together.
+
+"But I want a cube too, Tim. I only have triangles and circles and rectangles. They are not as good as cubes. Please, Tim, can I have one cube?" Mia says, making a sad face.
+
+Tim thinks for a moment. He likes his cube, but he also likes Mia. He does not want to make her sad. He remembers that he has another cube in his toy box. He recognizes it by its red color and smooth sides.
+
+"Okay, Mia, you can have a cube. But not this one. This one is mine. I will give you another one. Wait here, I will get it for you." Tim says, running to his toy box.
+
+"Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend. I will wait for you." Mia says, smiling.
+
+Tim comes back with the red cube and gives it to Mia. Mia hugs the cube and hugs Tim. They are both happy. They continue to play with the blocks, making more shapes and colors. They share their cubes and their other blocks. They have fun.

It had many colors and pictures of yummy treats. Sometimes, their mom would buy them ice cream, but not always.
+
+One day, they went to the park and saw the ice cream truck again. They were very hungry and wanted ice cream badly. They asked their mom, but she said no. She said they had to eat lunch first, and then maybe they could have ice cream later. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They did not want to wait. They wanted ice cream now.
+
+They saw a boy who had a big cone of ice cream. He looked happy and licked his ice cream. Tom and Lily had an idea. They ran to the boy and tried to grab his ice cream. The boy was surprised and scared. He shouted and dropped his ice cream. It fell on the ground and melted. The boy cried and ran to his mom. Tom and Lily were happy. They thought they could eat his ice cream.
+
+But their mom saw what they did. She was very mad and disappointed. She took them to the boy and his mom and made them say sorry. She said they were very naughty and rude. She said they had to learn to share and be patient. She said they could not have ice cream today or tomorrow. She said they had to go home and think about what they did.
+
+Tom and Lily felt very bad. They realized they had hurt the boy and wasted his ice cream. They wished they had listened to their mom and waited for lunch. They learned their lesson. They said sorry again and promised to be good. They hoped the boy would forgive them and be their friend. They hoped their mom would buy them ice cream another day.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. Lily has a doll with a pink dress and a zip on the back. Ben has a car with four wheels and a horn.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It runs towards them and barks. Lily and Ben are scared. They hold their toys and squeeze them tight.
+
+The dog stops and sniffs their toys. It likes the doll and the car. It picks up the doll with its mouth and shakes it. The zip breaks and the dress falls off. Lily cries. She loves her doll. It is beautiful.
+
+Ben is brave. He shouts at the dog and throws his car. The dog drops the doll and chases the car. Ben runs after the dog and gets his car back. He also picks up the doll and the dress.
+
+He gives the doll and the dress to Lily. He helps her put the zip back together. He says, "Don't cry, Lily. Your doll is still beautiful. And you are my best friend."
+
+Lily smiles and hugs Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are my best friend too. And your car is cool."
+
+They squeeze each other and laugh. The dog runs away. They play in the park with their toys again. They are happy.
+Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play with dolls. They had many dolls, but Lily's favorite was a big doll with long hair and a pink cloth dress. Sam's favorite was a small doll with short hair and a blue cloth shirt. They often shared their dolls, but sometimes they wanted to play with their own.
+
+One day, Lily saw Sam playing with his blue doll and felt envious. She wanted to play with it too, but Sam said no. He said it was his doll and he liked it very much. Lily got angry and tried to grab the doll from Sam, but Sam held it tight. They started to fight and pull the doll.
+
+The doll was not very strong and it broke in half. The head and the arms fell off and the cloth shirt ripped. Sam and Lily both cried and pointed at each other. They blamed each other for breaking the doll. They did not say sorry or hug. They stayed mad and sad.
+
+Their mom heard them crying and came to see what happened. She saw the broken doll and the ripped cloth. She was very upset and scolded them. She said they were naughty and selfish. She said they had to share and be kind. She said they had to go to their room and think about what they did. She took away their other dolls and left them alone.
+
+Lily and Sam felt sorry for breaking the doll, but they did not say it. They were still angry and envious. They did not talk or play. They just sat on their beds and looked at the wall. They wished they had their dolls back. They wished they had been nicer to each other. They had a bad day.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox where they made castles and roads. One day, they saw a hole in the sand. They wondered what made it.
+
+"Maybe it's a mole," Ben said. "Moles are animals that dig under the ground."
+
+"Let's catch it," Lily said. "We can make a trap with a bucket and a stick."
+
+They found a bucket and a stick and set the trap near the hole. They put some bread in the bucket and tied a string to the stick. They hid behind a bush and waited.
+
+Soon, they saw a small brown mole come out of the hole. It sniffed the air and saw the bread. It ran towards the bucket and climbed inside. Ben and Lily pulled the string and the stick fell. The bucket closed on the mole.
+
+"Yay, we caught it!" Ben and Lily cheered. They ran to the bucket and looked inside.
+
+But the mole was not there. It had dug another hole in the bottom of the bucket and escaped. It was a clever mole.
+
+"Aw, it got away," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe we can try again tomorrow," Lily said.
+
+They put the bucket and the stick back in the shed and went inside for lunch. They did not see the mole peek out of the hole and wink. It had tricked them. It was a very clever mole.
+Lily loves to eat beans. She likes them with cheese, with bread, with rice, or by themselves. She likes them hot or cold, green or red, big or small. She thinks beans are yummy and good for her.
+
+One day, Lily's mom makes a big pot of beans for lunch. She tells Lily to wash her hands and sit at the table. Lily is very happy and hungry. She rushes to the sink and turns on the water. She rubs her hands with soap and rinses them. She grabs a towel and dries them. She runs to the table and sits on her chair.
+
+She sees a big bowl of beans in front of her. She reaches for a spoon and scoops some beans onto her plate. She blows on them to cool them down and puts them in her mouth. She smiles and says, "Mmm, these beans are so good, Mom. Thank you!"
+
+Lily's mom smiles back and says, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like them. But don't eat too fast, or you might get a tummy ache."
+
+Lily nods and slows down a bit. She still wants to eat more beans, though. She sees that the bowl is almost empty. She worries that there won't be enough beans for her. She decides to take the last spoonful of beans before anyone else does.
+
+She stretches her arm and grabs the spoon. She dips it into the bowl and scoops up the last beans. She is about to put them in her mouth when she hears a loud noise. She looks up and sees her brother, Ben, standing at the door. He is holding a soccer ball and he looks angry.
+
+"Hey, Lily, that's not fair!" he shouts. "You took all the beans! I wanted some beans, too! You're so greedy and mean!"
+
+Lily feels scared and sad. She didn't know that Ben wanted some beans. She didn't mean to take them all. She just likes them a lot. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know. Here, you can have some of my beans. I'll share with you."
+
+She tries to give him some beans from her plate, but he doesn't want them. He is too frustrated and mad. He says, "No, I don't want your beans. They're cold and mushy. You ruined my lunch. You're a bad sister!"
+
+He throws his soccer ball at her. It hits her plate and knocks it over. The beans spill on the floor and make a mess. Lily cries and says, "Ow, that hurt! Why did you do that? You're a bad brother!"
+
+Lily's mom hears the commotion and comes to the kitchen. She sees the beans on the floor and the kids crying. She is very upset and disappointed. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over beans? Beans are not worth fighting over. You should be nice and kind to each other. You should apologize and hug and make up."
+
+She makes Ben and Lily say sorry to each other and hug. She makes them help her clean up the beans and the plate. She makes them eat something else for lunch. She tells them that beans are good, but love is better. She tells them that she loves them both very much and hopes they will love each other, too.
+Lily loved her pig very much. She named him Pinky and gave him a lot of food and hugs. She thought he was the most beautiful pig in the world. She did not let him play with other pigs or animals. She wanted him to be only hers.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, you spoil Pinky too much. He needs to exercise and make friends. He is getting too fat and lazy. He is not happy."
+
+Lily did not listen. She said, "No, mom. Pinky is perfect. He is my pig and I love him. He does not need anyone else."
+
+The next day, Lily took Pinky to the park. She saw some other kids with their pets. There were dogs, cats, rabbits, and even a duck. They were running, jumping, and having fun. Lily wanted to join them, but Pinky did not. He was too heavy and tired. He just lay on the grass and snorted.
+
+Lily felt sad. She realized that her mom was right. She had spoiled Pinky too much. She had not given him what he really needed. She had made him unhappy.
+
+She decided to change. She said, "Pinky, I'm sorry. I love you, but I was wrong. You need to exercise and make friends. You need to be a happy pig. Come on, let's go play with the other animals. They will like you. You are a beautiful pig."
+
+Pinky looked at Lily with his big eyes. He felt her love and kindness. He wagged his tail and got up. He followed Lily to the other animals. He was shy at first, but soon he made some friends. He ran, jumped, and had fun. He felt happy.
+
+Lily smiled. She was happy too. She learned a lesson. She learned that love is not about spoiling. Love is about caring and sharing. She learned that being beautiful is not about how you look. Being beautiful is about how you feel.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the trees and swing on the ropes. They were curious and wanted to see everything.
+
+But one day, Ben fell from a tree and hurt his arm. He cried and cried. Anna ran to him and saw blood on his arm.
+
+"Ben, Ben, are you okay?" Anna asked.
+
+"It hurts, it hurts!" Ben said.
+
+Anna looked around and saw a bandage in her backpack. She took it out and wrapped it around Ben's arm.
+
+"Here, this will help. It will protect your arm from dirt and germs," Anna said.
+
+"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend," Ben said.
+
+Anna smiled and hugged Ben. She was glad she could help him.
+
+They walked back to their mom, who was waiting for them. She saw the bandage and asked what happened.
+
+"Ben fell from a tree, but Anna helped me. She gave me a bandage and protected me," Ben said.
+
+Mom praised Anna and Ben for being brave and caring. She took them to the doctor, who checked Ben's arm and gave him a sticker. He said Ben would be fine, but he had to be careful.
+
+Anna and Ben learned a lesson. They still liked to play in the park, but they were more careful. They always looked after each other and protected each other. They were the best friends ever.
+Anna and Ben like to draw with pastels. Pastels are soft and colorful. They can make many shapes and pictures with them. Anna and Ben have a big box of pastels. They share them and use them on paper.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben want to draw a deep sea. A deep sea is very big and has many fish and plants. Anna and Ben use blue and green pastels to make the water. They use yellow and orange pastels to make the sun and the sand. They use red and purple pastels to make the coral and the starfish.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a shark!" Anna says. She shows Ben her paper. She used a gray pastel to make the shark. It has a big mouth and sharp teeth.
+
+"Wow, Anna, your shark is scary!" Ben says. He shows Anna his paper. He used a pink pastel to make a dolphin. It has a long nose and a smile.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, your dolphin is cute!" Anna says. She likes Ben's dolphin. She thinks it is friendly.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They like to draw with pastels. They like to make a deep sea. They like to share their pictures. They are good friends.
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to draw flowers. She had many colors of crayons and papers in her room. She also had a vase with pretty flowers that her mom gave her. She loved to look at the vase and smell the flowers.
+
+One day, a new boy came to her class. His name was Ben and he was very loud and playful. He liked to run and jump and make jokes. He saw Lily's drawings and said, "Wow, you are good at drawing flowers. Can I see your vase?"
+
+Lily felt nervous and scared. She did not want to share her vase with Ben. She thought he might break it or take it away. She said, "No, you can't see my vase. It is mine and I don't want to show you."
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He did not understand why Lily was so mean. He said, "Fine, I don't want to see your vase anyway. You are a bad friend and I don't like you."
+
+Lily felt bad too. She did not mean to hurt Ben's feelings. She just wanted to keep her vase safe. She thought, "Maybe I was too harsh. Maybe Ben is not so bad. Maybe he just wanted to be my friend."
+
+The next day, Lily decided to be brave and kind. She brought her vase to school and looked for Ben. She found him playing with a ball and said, "Hi, Ben. I'm sorry I was rude to you yesterday. I was shy and scared. Do you want to see my vase?"
+
+Ben was surprised and happy. He said, "Hi, Lily. I'm sorry I was mad at you yesterday. I was sad and hurt. Yes, I want to see your vase. It looks very pretty."
+
+Lily smiled and showed him her vase. She let him touch and smell the flowers. She said, "Thank you for liking my vase. Do you want to draw some flowers with me?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I want to draw some flowers with you. Thank you for sharing your vase. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. You are fun and nice."
+
+They went to Lily's room and drew many flowers with crayons and papers. They laughed and talked and had a good time. They learned that sharing and being kind is better than being shy and scared. They became good friends and played with the vase and the flowers every day.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers that were blooming in different colors. They smelled them and smiled.
+
+"Look, this one is pink and hairy!" Lily said, pointing to a flower.
+
+"I like it. Can I pick it?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, you can't. It belongs to the garden. If you pick it, it will die." Lily said.
+
+"But I want to have it. It is pretty." Ben said. He reached for the flower.
+
+Lily grabbed his hand and pulled it back. "No, Ben, stop! You are being bad!"
+
+Ben got angry and pushed Lily. "You are mean! Let me have the flower!"
+
+Lily fell down and started to cry. She was hurt and sad.
+
+The garden lady heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben and the flower.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked.
+
+"Lily won't let me pick the flower. She is mean!" Ben said.
+
+"Ben wanted to pick the flower. He is bad!" Lily said.
+
+The garden lady shook her head. "You are both wrong. The flower is not yours to pick. It is part of the garden. It needs the soil and the water and the sun to grow and bloom. If you pick it, you will make it unhappy and it will wither. You should respect the garden and enjoy its beauty, not destroy it."
+
+She pointed to the fence that surrounded the garden. "Do you see the fence? It is there to protect the garden from people who want to harm it. You should not cross the fence without permission. You should ask me first if you want to see the flowers."
+
+She helped Lily up and wiped her tears. She gave Ben a stern look. "You should say sorry to Lily. You hurt her and made her cry. You should also say sorry to the flower. You tried to take it away from its home."
+
+Ben felt ashamed and sorry. He looked at Lily and the flower. "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, flower. I was wrong. I won't do it again."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She forgave Ben. "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry too. I was mean. I won't do it again."
+
+The garden lady smiled too. She was glad they learned their lesson. She gave them each a hug. "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you come with me and I'll show you some more flowers that are blooming. But remember, no picking, only looking and smelling."
+
+Lily and Ben agreed and followed the garden lady. They saw many more flowers that were blooming in different colors. They smelled them and smiled. They were happy and friends again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many things in the garden: flowers, birds, bugs, and a big tree.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. Boom! Boom! Boom! It was a storm. The sky was dark and angry. The wind was strong and cold. The rain was fast and wet.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They ran to the house. They wanted to find Mom and Dad. They wanted to be safe and warm.
+
+Mom and Dad were in the kitchen. They saw Lily and Ben. They hugged them and smiled. They said, "Don't worry, the storm will go away soon. Let's have some hot chocolate and cookies."
+
+They sat on the couch and drank hot chocolate and ate cookies. They looked out the window and gazed at the storm. They saw the lightning flash and the thunder roar. They saw the rain pour and the wind blow.
+
+But then they saw something else. Something bright and beautiful. Something that made them happy. It was a rainbow. A big, colorful rainbow. It had red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. And it had pink. Lily's favorite color.
+
+Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. They said, "Look, Mom and Dad, a pink rainbow! How pretty! How wonderful!"
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and nodded. They said, "Yes, it is pretty and wonderful. Just like you, Lily and Ben. We love you very much."
+
+They hugged and kissed. They felt safe and warm. They forgot about the storm. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved candy. They always asked their mom for candy when they went to the store. But mom said candy was bad for their teeth and gave them only one piece each.
+
+One day, mom had to go to the dentist and left Lily and Ben with their aunt. Their aunt was very nice and gave them a big bowl of candy. She said they could eat as much as they wanted.
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy and started to eat the candy. They ate red candy, yellow candy, green candy, and blue candy. They ate candy with nuts, candy with chocolate, candy with caramel, and candy with mint. They ate candy until the bowl was empty.
+
+But then, they started to feel uncomfortable. Their tummies hurt and their mouths were sticky. They felt sick and wanted to drink water. They looked at each other and said:
+
+"Lily, I hate candy now. It makes me feel bad."
+
+"Me too, Ben. I hate candy too. Let's never eat candy again."
+
+They ran to the bathroom and brushed their teeth. They hoped mom would come back soon and hug them. They learned their lesson and decided to eat candy only sometimes, not always.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with many lollipops. The lollipops are different colors and shapes. They look yummy and pretty.
+
+"Can we have a lollipop, please?" Anna asks the man in the truck.
+
+"Sure, you can have one each. But you have to promise me something," the man says.
+
+"What do we have to promise?" Ben asks.
+
+"You have to promise to share your lollipops with someone who has none. Can you do that?" the man says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They think sharing is good. They say, "We promise!"
+
+The man smiles. He gives them each a lollipop. Anna picks a pink one with a heart. Ben picks a blue one with a star. They thank the man and run to the swings.
+
+They see a little boy sitting on a bench. He looks sad. He has no lollipop.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Anna asks the boy.
+
+"I'm Sam. I have no lollipop. My mom said we have no money for lollipops," the boy says.
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry for Sam. They remember their promise.
+
+"Here, you can have my lollipop. It is pink and pretty. I hope you like it," Anna says. She gives her lollipop to Sam.
+
+"Wow, thank you! You are very nice. I love pink," Sam says. He smiles and licks the lollipop.
+
+"And you can have my lollipop. It is blue and cool. I hope you like it," Ben says. He gives his lollipop to Sam.
+
+"Wow, thank you! You are very nice. I love blue," Sam says. He smiles and licks the other lollipop.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They have made a new friend. They have kept their promise. They have shared their lollipops. They play with Sam on the swings. They have a lot of fun.
+Tom and Jen were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big pile of coal near their house. They thought it was fun to make shapes and towers with the coal. They did not know that coal was dirty and could hurt their hands and clothes.
+
+"Look, Jen, I made a coal man!" Tom said, smiling. He put two small coals for eyes, a carrot for a nose, and a scarf around the coal man's neck.
+
+"That's nice, Tom, but I made a coal castle!" Jen said, smiling too. She stacked many coals to make walls and towers, and put a flag on top.
+
+They were so busy playing with the coal that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. When they finally came inside, they were covered in black dust and soot. Their mom was not happy.
+
+"Tom and Jen, what have you done? You are so dirty and messy! You ruined your clothes and your hands! And you missed your lunch! Coal is not a toy, it is rare and valuable. Some people use it to keep warm and cook food. You should not waste it or play with it. You should be sorry and respectful." Their mom said, frowning.
+
+Tom and Jen felt bad. They did not know that coal was rare and valuable. They did not mean to make their mom angry or miss their lunch. They said sorry to their mom and helped her clean their clothes and hands. They learned that they should not play with things that they do not understand or that belong to others. They also learned that they should listen to their mom and come when she calls them. They hugged their mom and promised to be more careful and responsible. Their mom smiled and forgave them. She gave them some soup and bread for lunch. They ate and thanked their mom. They still liked to play outside, but they never played with coal again.
+Anna and Ben like to print pictures with their crayons. They print flowers, cars, animals and stars. They have many papers with their prints. They are proud of their prints.
+
+One day, they see a big billboard on the street. It has a picture of a clown with a red nose and a funny hat. The clown is holding a balloon that says "Come to the circus!" Anna and Ben think the clown is silly and funny. They want to go to the circus.
+
+They run to their mom and show her the billboard. They say, "Mom, mom, look at the silly clown! Can we go to the circus, please?" Mom smiles and says, "Yes, we can go to the circus. But first, let's go home and get your prints. Maybe the clown will like them too."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They go home and get their prints. They put them in a big bag. They go to the circus with mom. They see the silly clown and give him their prints. The clown is happy. He says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. Your prints are very pretty and colorful. You are very good at printing. Do you want a balloon?" Anna and Ben say, "Yes, please!" The clown gives them each a balloon. They say, "Thank you, silly clown!" They have a lot of fun at the circus.
+Lily did not like soup. She did not like the red soup that Mom made for lunch. She did not like the green soup that Dad made for dinner. She did not like any soup at all.
+
+She complained every time she saw soup on her plate. She said, "Soup is yucky! I want pizza! I want cake! I want ice cream!" She made a face and pushed her bowl away.
+
+Mom and Dad were sad. They wanted Lily to eat soup. They said, "Soup is good for you. It has vegetables and meat and broth. It makes you strong and healthy. You need to try some soup, please."
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "No, no, no! I don't want soup! Soup is bad for me. It makes me sick and unhappy. I don't need to try some soup, no thank you."
+
+Mom and Dad did not know what to do. They tried to make soup more fun. They added noodles and cheese and crackers. They made shapes and faces and animals with the soup. They told stories and jokes and songs about the soup.
+
+But Lily still did not like soup. She still complained and made a face and pushed her bowl away. She said, "Soup is boring! I want something else! I want something new! I want something different!"
+
+Mom and Dad were tired. They said, "Lily, this is the last time we make soup for you. If you don't eat some soup today, you will not get any dessert. You will not get any pizza or cake or ice cream. You will only get soup, soup, soup."
+
+Lily did not like that. She did not want to miss dessert. She did not want to eat only soup. She looked at her bowl and saw the red soup. She thought, "Maybe I can try some soup. Maybe it is not so bad. Maybe I will like it a little bit."
+
+She picked up her spoon and took a small sip. She tasted the soup and was surprised. It was not yucky. It was not bad. It was not boring. It was warm and sweet and spicy. It had tomatoes and beans and corn. It was delicious!
+
+She smiled and said, "Mmm, this soup is good! I like this soup! I want more soup, please!"
+
+Mom and Dad were happy. They said, "We are glad you like the soup, Lily. You are a good girl. You can have some dessert, too. You can have some pizza or cake or ice cream. You can have anything you want."
+
+Lily was happy, too. She ate all her soup and asked for more. She said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. You make the best soup. I love you and I love soup!"
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a shiny card on the ground. It has a picture of a man and some letters.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asks.
+
+"I think it is a license," Ben says. "My dad has one. He needs it to drive the car."
+
+"Can we drive the car with this license?" Lily wonders.
+
+"No, we are too small. And this is not our license. It belongs to someone else," Ben says.
+
+They look around, but they do not see anyone who looks like the man on the card. They decide to keep the license as a treasure.
+
+They put it in Lily's pocket and run to the swings. They have fun swinging and laughing.
+
+Then, they see a lady walking towards them. She has a big hat and a long nose. She looks nosy.
+
+"Hello, children," she says. "What are you doing here?"
+
+"We are playing," Lily says.
+
+"Can I see what you have in your pocket?" the lady asks.
+
+Lily feels scared. She does not want to show the lady the license. She thinks the lady might take it away.
+
+She shakes her head. "No, thank you," she says.
+
+The lady frowns. She tries to grab Lily's pocket. Lily screams.
+
+Ben comes to help. He pushes the lady away. He hugs Lily.
+
+"Go away, you mean lady!" he shouts. "This is our treasure. You cannot have it!"
+
+The lady glares at them. She walks away, mumbling.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They kiss each other on the cheek.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Lily says. "You are a good friend."
+
+"You are welcome, Lily," Ben says. "You are a good friend, too."
+
+They smile and hold hands. They run to the slide. They forget about the license. They only care about each other.
+Lily and Tom were bored at home. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something new and fun.
+
+"Let's go outside and see nature," Lily suggested to Tom. "Maybe we can find some flowers or animals or rocks."
+
+Tom liked that idea. He put on his shoes and coat and followed Lily to the door. They asked their mom if they could go outside and she said yes, but to be careful and stay close.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the park near their house. They saw many things in nature. They saw green grass and yellow daisies and red ladybugs. They saw brown squirrels and gray pigeons and black ants. They saw white clouds and blue sky and orange sun.
+
+They picked some flowers and made a crown for Lily and a necklace for Tom. They fed some bread to the pigeons and watched them fly away. They collected some rocks and sorted them by size and color.
+
+They had a lot of fun in nature. They were glad they went outside. They smiled and hugged each other.
+
+"Nature is beautiful and amazing," Lily said to Tom. "I'm happy we saw it together."
+
+"Me too," Tom said to Lily. "You are a good sister and a good friend."
+
+They went back home and showed their mom what they had found. She was proud of them and gave them a hug and a cookie. They ate their cookie and told her their story. They were happy and tired. They went to bed and dreamed of nature.
+Lila and Sam were twins who loved to swim in the sea. They liked to see the fish and the shells and the coral. The coral was like a big, colorful wall under the water. They called it the reef.
+
+One day, they saw a big, shiny thing near the reef. It looked like a ball with a tail. Lila wanted to go closer and see what it was. Sam was scared. He said, "No, Lila, don't go. It might be a shark or a monster."

+Lila said, "Don't be silly, Sam. It's not a shark or a monster. It's a dolphin. Dolphins are friendly and smart. They like to play with people. I want to play with the dolphin. Come on, Sam, let's go."
+
+Lila swam towards the shiny thing. Sam followed her, but he was still scared. He hoped Lila was right. He hoped it was a dolphin and not a shark or a monster.
+
+When they got closer, they saw that Lila was right. It was a dolphin. It had a gray skin and a big smile. It made a funny noise like a whistle. It swam around them and nudged them with its nose. It was very nosy. It wanted to know who they were and what they were doing.
+
+Lila and Sam laughed and touched the dolphin. They felt its smooth skin and its strong tail. They played with the dolphin for a long time. They felt happy and brave. They believed the dolphin was their friend. They forgot about their fear of sharks and monsters. They only saw the beauty of the reef and the joy of the dolphin.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today is a hot day. The sun is bright and the grass is dry.
+
+"Let's hop like rabbits!" Sara says. She bends her legs and jumps high. Ben does the same. They hop and hop and hop.
+
+"Look at me!" Ben says. He hops on one leg. He thinks he is very fast. Sara tries to hop on one leg too. But she loses her balance and falls down.
+
+"Ouch!" Sara says. She hurts her leg. She feels a bump on her knee. She starts to cry.
+
+"Are you okay?" Ben asks. He stops hopping and runs to Sara. He sees her leg. He feels sorry for her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I didn't mean to make you fall. Does it hurt a lot?" Ben says.
+
+Sara nods. She wipes her tears. She looks at Ben. He is her friend. He cares about her.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. It hurts a little. But it will get better soon. Can you help me up?" Sara says.
+
+Ben nods. He holds Sara's hand and helps her up. He gives her a hug.
+
+"Let's go to the bench. We can sit and rest. Maybe we can have some water and a snack. And then we can play something else. Something that is not so hoppy." Ben says.
+
+Sara smiles. She agrees. She likes Ben. He is a good friend. They walk to the bench. They are happy. They are still friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him two buttons for eyes and a carrot for a nose. They were very happy with their snowman.
+
+"Let's spin around the snowman!" Lily said. She liked to spin and feel dizzy. She took Ben's hand and they started to spin. They spun faster and faster, laughing and shouting.
+
+But then, Lily's mitten flew off her hand. It landed on the snowman's head, covering his hat. Lily stopped spinning and looked at her mitten. She felt sad. She liked her mitten. It was pink and warm and had a flower on it.
+
+"Hey, that's my mitten!" Lily said. She ran to the snowman and tried to get her mitten back. But the snowman was too tall for her. She could not reach her mitten.
+
+"Please, help me, Ben!" Lily said. She looked at Ben with big eyes. She hoped he would help her.
+
+But Ben did not help her. He thought the snowman looked funny with the mitten on his head. He laughed and pointed at the snowman.
+
+"Ha ha, look at the snowman! He has a pink flower on his head!" Ben said. He thought it was a joke. He did not see that Lily was sad.
+
+Lily felt angry. She did not like Ben's laugh. She did not think it was a joke. She wanted her mitten back.
+
+"Stop laughing, Ben! It's not funny! Give me my mitten back!" Lily said. She stamped her foot and crossed her arms. She did not want to play with Ben anymore.
+
+Ben stopped laughing. He saw that Lily was angry. He did not want to make her angry. He wanted to play with her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to make you sad. Here, I'll help you get your mitten back." Ben said. He went to the snowman and reached for the mitten. He was taller than Lily. He could get the mitten.
+
+He gave the mitten to Lily. Lily smiled and put the mitten on her hand. She felt happy again. She liked her mitten. She liked Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." Lily said. She hugged Ben and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
+
+Ben blushed and smiled. He felt happy too. He liked Lily. He liked the snowman.
+
+"Let's play some more. Do you want to spin again?" Ben said.

+
+The duck quacks, the frog croaks and the boat honks. Tommy thinks they want to go to the ocean. He pours more water into the bath and makes waves with his hands.
+
+"Look out, there is a big fish!" he says. He grabs a blue sponge and holds it up. "It is a shark! It wants to eat us!"
+
+He makes the sponge chase the toys around the bath. He laughs and squeals as he dodges the shark. He has so much fun that he does not hear his mom calling him.
+
+"Tommy, time to get out of the bath!" his mom says. She opens the door and sees the water on the floor. She sighs and smiles. "You are having a good time, huh?"
+
+Tommy nods and smiles. He likes his mom. She helps him dry off with a towel and puts on his dress. It is a blue dress with white stars. He likes his dress. It makes him feel like a superhero.
+
+"Are you ready for bed, Tommy?" his mom asks. She hugs him and kisses his cheek.
+
+Tommy shakes his head. He wants to play more. He points to his toys in the bath. "Can I take them with me?" he asks.
+
+His mom shakes her head. She picks up the toys and puts them in a basket. "No, honey, they need to dry too. You can play with them tomorrow. Now, let's go to your room and read a story."
+
+Tommy pouts and follows his mom. He likes stories, but he likes his toys more. He hopes they will have more adventures in his dreams. He says good night to them and to his mom. He snuggles in his bed and closes his eyes. He dreams of the ocean and the shark and the stars. He is happy.

+Lily is not afraid. She likes dogs. She walks to the dog and says, "Hello, dog. What is your name?"
+
+The dog stops barking. He wags his tail. He says, "My name is Rex. I am a gifted dog. I can talk."
+
+Lily and Ben are surprised. They have never heard a dog talk before.
+
+"You can talk?" Lily asks. "How can you do that?"
+
+Rex says, "I learned from my owner. He is a scientist. He gave me a special chip in my ear. It helps me understand and speak human words."
+
+Lily and Ben think that is amazing. They want to learn more about Rex and his owner. They ask Rex if they can play with him.
+
+Rex says, "Sure, I like to play. But be careful of my spike. It is sharp. It is for protection."

+Sam and Ben liked to sail. They had a toy boat that they played with in the bathtub. They made waves with their hands and pretended to be pirates. They said "Arrr!" and "Yo-ho-ho!" and laughed a lot.
+
+One day, their mom said they could sail in the big pool outside. They were very happy and ran to get their boat. They put on their swimsuits and sun hats and followed their mom to the pool. They saw a lot of other kids playing in the water. They waved and said hello.

+They put their boat in the pool and started to sail. They had fun splashing and chasing their boat. But then, a big boy came and took their boat. He said it was his and he threw it in the air.

+
+"Me too!" Sue says. "Let's ask the shop man how much it is."
+
+They go to the shop man and point at the car. The shop man smiles and says, "That car is very nice, but it is also very expensive. It costs ten coins. Do you have ten coins?"
+
+Tom and Sue shake their heads. They only have two coins each. They feel sad. They cannot buy the car.
+
+"Maybe we can save more coins and come back later," Tom says.
+
+"Or maybe we can find another car that is cheaper," Sue says.
+
+They look around the shop. They see many toys, but none of them are as nice as the car. They see a small toy boat. It is blue and has a sail. It costs four coins.
+

+Lila was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with at school. She liked to draw and read, but no one wanted to join her. She wished she had a friend who liked the same things as she did.
+
+One day, she saw a big sign in the window of a pet shop. It said: "Buy a True friend here!" Lila was curious. She went inside the shop and looked around. She saw many animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. They all looked cute and fun, but none of them seemed like a True friend for Lila.
+
+Then, she heard a soft meow from a corner. She walked over and saw a small, gray kitten in a cage. The kitten looked sad and lonely, too. It had a tag on its collar that said: "My name is True. I need a home and a friend."
+
+Lila felt a warm feeling in her heart. She reached out her hand and gently stroked the kitten's fur. The kitten purred and rubbed its head against her fingers. Lila smiled and said: "Hello, True. I'm Lila. I need a home and a friend, too. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+The kitten nodded and licked her hand. Lila felt happy and excited. She ran to the counter and asked the shopkeeper: "How much is this kitten?"
+
+The shopkeeper smiled and said: "For you, my dear, this kitten is free. You have found a True friend, and that is priceless."
+
+Lila thanked the shopkeeper and hugged the kitten. She put it in a box and carried it out of the shop. She felt like she had found a treasure.

+
+"Mom, what does the billboard say?" Lily asks.
+
+"Dad, what is the bear doing?" Tom asks.
+
+Mom and Dad look at the billboard. They smile.
+
+"The billboard says 'Pick honey, not flowers'. The bear is picking honey from a hive. He likes honey. He does not like flowers," Mom says.
+
+"Why does he not like flowers?" Lily asks.
+
+"Because flowers are for bees, not bears. Bees make honey from flowers. If the bear picks flowers, he makes the bees angry. They can sting him," Dad says.
+
+"Oh, I see. The bear is smart. He picks honey, not flowers," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, he is. But he has to be fast. The bees can chase him. He has to run away," Mom says.
+
+Lily and Tom laugh. They imagine the bear running away from the bees. They think it is funny.
+
+They reach the park. They get out of the car. They run to the swings and the slide. They have fun. They do not pick flowers. They do not want to make the bees angry. They are smart, too.

+
+Lily and Sam are amazed. They laugh and clap their hands. They say "Yes, we want to play with you. You are a fun train. You are our new friend." They play with the new train and the old train for a long time. They have a lot of fun.

+
+Anna is not happy. She does not want to go to the store. She wants to go to the library. She says to her mom, "No, no, no! I want to read, not buy corn!"
+
+Her mom says, "Anna, we have to buy corn. It is good for you. You can read later. Please be a good girl and come with me."
+
+Anna does not listen. She cries and kicks and screams. She does not want to go with her mom. She wants to stay home and read.
+
+Her mom is tired and sad. She does not know what to do. She tries to calm Anna down. She says, "Anna, I understand you love to read. But you also have to eat and help me. How about this?

+Her mom smiles and says, "OK, Anna. You can have a big book. But you have to be a good girl and hold my hand. And you have to eat some corn for dinner. Deal?"

+One day, a little girl named Lily went to the farm with her mom. They wanted to gather some fresh vegetables for dinner. Lily liked to help her mom pick the carrots, the beans, and the tomatoes. But she did not like the cauliflower. She thought it looked like a white cloud with bumps.
+
+"Mom, why do we need cauliflower?" Lily asked. "It is not yummy. It is yucky."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Cauliflower is very good for you, Lily. It has many vitamins that make you strong and healthy. And it can be yummy if you cook it with cheese and butter. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to try the cauliflower. She wanted to eat something else. She saw a big pumpkin on the other side of the farm. She ran towards it, leaving her mom behind.
+
+"Wait, Lily, be careful!" Mom called. "The pumpkin is not ready yet. It belongs to the farmer. He is very wise and knows when to harvest it."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She wanted to see the pumpkin. She thought it looked like a big orange ball. She reached the pumpkin and touched it. It was hard and heavy. She tried to lift it, but it was too big for her. She pushed it, but it did not move. She kicked it, but it hurt her foot.
+
+Suddenly, she heard a loud voice behind her. It was the farmer. He was not happy to see Lily messing with his pumpkin.
+
+"Hey, little girl, what are you doing?" he asked. "This is my pumpkin. You cannot take it. It is not ripe yet. You have to wait until Halloween."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not know what Halloween was. She did not know the farmer. She wanted her mom. She started to cry.
+
+Mom heard Lily's cry and ran to her. She saw the farmer and the pumpkin. She apologized to the farmer and explained that Lily was curious and did not mean any harm.
+
+The farmer was kind. He understood that Lily was just a child. He said he was sorry for scaring her. He gave her a small pumpkin that was ripe and ready. He told her that she could carve it and make a lantern for Halloween. He also gave her a bunch of cauliflower and told her how to cook it with cheese and butter.
+
+Lily stopped crying. She thanked the farmer and took the pumpkin and the cauliflower. She hugged her mom and said she was sorry for running away. She said she wanted to learn more about Halloween and the farmer's vegetables.
+
+Mom was proud of Lily. She said she was brave and polite. She said she would teach her about Halloween and the farmer's vegetables. She said they would go home and make a delicious dinner with the cauliflower and the other vegetables they gathered.
+
+Lily was happy. She learned a lot that day. She learned that cauliflower was good for her, that the farmer was wise, and that Halloween was fun. She decided to try the cauliflower and the pumpkin. She thought they were yummy. She also decided to be more careful and listen to her mom. She thought that was wise, too.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red cherries. They want to pick some cherries and eat them.
+
+"Look, Ben, cherries!" Anna says. "Let's go and get some."
+
+"OK, Anna, but be careful. The tree is high and the cherries are small." Ben says.
+
+They run to the tree and try to reach the cherries. Anna is taller than Ben, so she can grab some cherries. She gives one to Ben and puts one in her mouth. The cherry is sweet and soft. She likes it.
+
+"Yum, yum, this cherry is good. Thank you, Anna." Ben says.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben. Do you want more?" Anna says.

+
+"OK, let's try. But be careful. Don't fall." Ben says.
+
+Anna bends down and lets Ben climb on her shoulders. Ben reaches up and picks some more cherries. He gives some to Anna and eats some. They are both happy.
+
+"Wow, we have so many cherries. They are all sweet and soft. We are lucky." Ben says.
+
+"Yes, we are. But we should share some with the other kids. They might like cherries too." Anna says.
+
+"OK, let's do that. They are our friends." Ben says.
+
+They get down from the tree and run to the other kids. They give some cherries to them and tell them about the tree. The other kids are happy and thank them. They all eat cherries and play together. They have a lot of fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But it was cold today. The wind was blowing and the sky was gray. They wore hats and coats and gloves.

+"I want to draw a car," Ben said. He picked a blue crayon and made a rectangle. Then he added wheels and a window.
+
+They took turns drawing on the envelope until it was full of colors and shapes. Then they added some stickers of stars and hearts.
+
+"Shh, we have to be quiet," Lily whispered. "Mom is in the kitchen. We don't want her to see our surprise."
+
+They folded their card and put it inside the envelope. They wrote "To Mom" on the front. Then they tiptoed to the living room and hid the envelope under a pillow.
+
+"Mom, come here!" they called. "We have something for you!"

+
+"But Mom, the robot is so cool. It can do things that my toys can't do. Please, please, please," Lily begs.
+
+"Lily, stop. You are being greedy and rude. You should be happy with what you have. Come on, let's go home," Mom says.
+
+Lily is very sad and angry. She does not want to go home. She wants the robot. She thinks her mom is mean and unfair. She tries to pull away from her mom's hand and run to the robot.
+
+"Lily, stop! You are being naughty. You can't run away from me. You have to listen to me. I am your mom and I know what is best for you," Mom says.
+
+Lily does not listen. She tries harder to get to the robot. She screams and cries and kicks. She makes a big scene in the store. Everyone looks at her and her mom. Some people shake their heads and frown. Some people smile and say, "Kids will be kids."
+
+Mom is very embarrassed and upset. She tries to calm Lily down and take her home. She does not know what to do. She wishes Lily would be a regular girl who likes to play with her toys.

+
+But the cloud is not rain. It is smoke. Tom hears a loud noise and sees fire. The fire is near his car. He is scared and runs to his house. He calls for help. He hopes his car will be okay.

+
+"Your hair is too long, Sam. Let me cut it for you," said Tim.
+
+"OK, Tim. But be careful. Don't cut too much," said Sam.
+
+Tim took the scissors and started to snip Sam's hair. He cut it very short and uneven. He made a big mess on the floor.
+
+"Look, Sam. You look like a barber now," said Tim.
+
+Sam looked in the mirror and saw his hair. He did not like it at all. He started to cry.
+
+"Tim, you ruined my hair. It looks awful. How will I go to school like this?" said Sam.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. I was just pretending. I didn't mean to hurt you," said Tim.
+
+But Sam was very angry and sad. He did not want to be friends with Tim anymore. He ran away from Tim and told his mom what happened.

+"Look, Sue, we can use this wire for our bridge!" Tom says. He picks up the wire and tries to bend it.
+
+"Be careful, Tom, that wire might be sharp!" Sue says. She is a dependable friend. She always looks out for Tom.
+
+Tom does not listen. He thinks he can make the wire do what he wants. He pulls and twists the wire. But the wire is stronger than Tom. It snaps and pokes Tom's finger. Tom cries out in pain.

+Sue finds a big stick and uses it to lift the wire. She carries it to the trash can and throws it away. She says, "There, the wire is gone. Now let's go inside and get a band-aid for your finger."
+
+Tom nods and follows Sue. He is glad Sue is his friend. She is dependable and kind. He says, "Thank you, Sue, you are the best. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. Next time, I will be more careful."
+
+Sue smiles and says, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm happy you are okay. Next time, we will find a better toy for our bridge."
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a goat near their house. The goat was eating grass and flowers. Lila and Ben wanted to pet the goat, so they ran towards it.
+
+"Wait!" their mom shouted. "That goat is not ours. It belongs to Mr. Lee. He is not fair. He does not like children. He may warn you to go away or he may chase you. Be careful!"
+
+But Lila and Ben did not listen. They thought the goat was cute and friendly. They reached the goat and tried to touch its fur. The goat did not like that. It bleated loudly and shook its head. It had horns that were sharp.
+
+"Ow!" Lila cried. The goat had poked her arm with its horn. It hurt a lot. Ben was scared. He grabbed Lila's hand and ran back to their mom.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Lila said. "We did not mean to make the goat angry. We just wanted to say hello."
+
+Mom hugged them and checked Lila's arm. It was not bad, but it was red and sore. She put some cream on it and gave her a kiss.
+
+"It's okay, Lila," mom said. "But next time, you should listen to me. I warn you because I love you and I want you to be safe. Mr. Lee's goat is not nice. It does not like to share. It is not fair. We have our own toys and animals to play with. Do you understand?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry and they hugged mom. They learned their lesson. They never bothered the goat again. They played with their dog and their cat instead. They were happy and fair.

+
+Dad looked at his laptop. He was busy. He had to supply many things to his work. He said, "Not now, Lily. I have to finish this. Yoga is dull. It is boring."
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not think yoga was dull. She thought yoga was fun. She said, "No, dad. Yoga is not dull. Yoga is good. It makes you happy and strong. Please, dad. Try it with me."
+
+Dad sighed. He saw Lily's big eyes and sweet smile. He loved Lily. He said, "Okay, Lily. I will try it with you. But only for a little bit. Then I have to go back to work."
+
+Lily was happy. She grabbed her mat and her ball. She said, "Come on, dad. Follow me. I will show you how to do yoga."
+
+Dad followed Lily. He put his laptop aside. He tried to do yoga with Lily. He stretched and bent and breathed. He felt silly and stiff. He did not like yoga. He thought it was hard and dull.
+
+But Lily liked yoga. She liked to see her dad do yoga with her. She smiled and clapped. She said, "Good job, dad. You are doing great. Yoga is fun. See?"
+
+Dad looked at Lily. He saw her smile and clap. He loved Lily. He said, "You are right, Lily. Yoga is fun. For you. And I love you. But I still have to go back to work. Can we do yoga another time?"
+
+Lily nodded. She hugged her dad. She said, "Yes, dad. We can do yoga another time. Thank you for trying it with me. I love you too."
+
+Dad hugged Lily back. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good girl. Now, let me go back to work. And you can play with your mat and your ball."
+
+Lily said, "Okay, dad. Have a good work. I will play with my mat and my ball."

+Lily loves to play with her hair. She has long, curly hair that she can make into different shapes. Sometimes she makes a ponytail, sometimes she makes a braid, sometimes she makes a bun. She likes to use clips and ribbons and flowers to decorate her hair.
+
+One day, she wants to show her hair to her friend Mia. She is very enthusiastic. She runs to her room and picks a pink ribbon and a yellow flower. She makes a ponytail and puts the ribbon and the flower on it. She looks in the mirror and smiles. She thinks she looks very pretty.
+
+She rushes to the door and calls for her mom. She wants to go to Mia's house. Her mom says they can go, but they have to be careful. It is raining outside and the road is wet. Lily puts on her coat and her boots. She holds her mom's hand and walks to the car.
+
+She is excited to see Mia. She hopes Mia will like her hair. She thinks maybe they can play with Mia's hair too. She likes to share her clips and ribbons and flowers. She thinks Mia is a good friend. She can't wait to get there.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Frosty.
+
+"Hello, Frosty!" Lila said. "Do you like the snow?"
+
+"Yes, I do!" Ben said in a funny voice, pretending to be Frosty. "But I don't like the sun. It makes me melt."
+
+Lila and Ben laughed. They wanted to play with Frosty for a long time. But then they saw something shiny near the gate. It was a key.
+
+"Look, Ben! A key!" Lila said. "I wonder what it opens."
+
+"Maybe it's a treasure!" Ben said. "Let's go and see."
+
+They ran to the gate and tried the key. It fit. They opened the gate and saw a path leading to a big house. The house looked old and mysterious.
+
+"Wow, what a house!" Lila said. "Do you think someone lives there?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it's empty. Maybe it's haunted. Do you want to go inside?"
+
+Lila and Ben looked at each other. They were curious, but also scared. They thought about Frosty, waiting for them in the snow.
+
+"Maybe we should go back," Lila said. "Frosty might miss us."
+
+"Yes, you're right," Ben said. "And maybe the sun will come out soon. We don't want Frosty to melt."
+
+They turned around and ran back to the snowman. They hugged him and said goodbye.
+
+"Bye, Frosty!" Lila said. "We'll come back tomorrow."
+
+"Bye, Lila and Ben!" Ben said in a funny voice, pretending to be Frosty. "Have fun!"
+
+They left the key in the gate and went home, wondering what was inside the mysterious house.
+Lila and Ben are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They see many fish and shells in the water. They want to swim to the reef, where the fish and shells are more colorful.
+
+"Can we go to the reef, Mom?" Lila asks.
+
+"Yes, but be careful. The reef is far and the water is deep. Stay close to Dad and me," Mom says.
+
+Lila and Ben put on their goggles and flippers. They follow Mom and Dad into the water. They swim and splash and laugh. They see blue fish, yellow fish, red fish. They see big shells, small shells, shiny shells.
+
+They reach the reef. It is like a garden under the water. There are many plants and rocks and animals. Lila sees a starfish on a rock. She wants to touch it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a starfish!" Lila says.
+
+"Wow, it is pretty!" Ben says.
+
+Lila reaches for the starfish. But it is too heavy. She cannot lift it. She tries again. She pulls and pulls. But the starfish does not move.
+
+"Help me, Ben!" Lila says.
+
+Ben swims to Lila. He tries to help her. But the starfish is too heavy for both of them. They cannot lift it.
+
+"Let it go, Lila. It is not a toy. It is a living thing. It belongs to the reef," Dad says.
+
+Lila and Ben let go of the starfish. They feel sorry. They did not mean to hurt it.
+
+"Sorry, starfish," Lila says.
+
+"Sorry, starfish," Ben says.
+
+The starfish stays on the rock. It does not mind. It is happy on the reef.
+
+Lila and Ben swim away. They see more fish and shells. They have fun on the reef. They learn to respect the reef. They are happy, too.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, it rains a lot. The water fills the park and makes a flood. Anna and Ben are scared. They run to their moms.
+
+"Mom, mom, the park is full of water!" Anna says.
+
+"I know, honey, it's a flood. We have to go home and be safe," her mom says.
+
+"What about our toys?" Ben asks.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, but we can't get them now. They are in the water. Maybe we can find them later," his mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They love their toys. Some of them are expensive. They got them for their birthdays. They don't want to lose them.

+
+"Wow, look at this mushroom!" Lily said. "It is so big and pretty. Can we pick it?"
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, we can't pick it. Mommy said some mushrooms are bad and can make us sick. We have to leave it alone."
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted to touch the mushroom. She thought it looked like a hat. She moved closer to the mushroom.
+
+"Hello, mushroom," she said. "Do you like living under the tree?"
+
+The mushroom did not reply. It was quiet and still.
+
+Tom laughed. "Lily, mushrooms can't talk. They are not like us. They are plants. They don't have mouths or ears."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not like Tom's laugh. She thought he was mean. She wanted the mushroom to be her friend.
+
+She leaned over and whispered to the mushroom. "Don't listen to Tom. He is silly. You are a nice mushroom. I like you."
+
+The mushroom did not reply. But Lily felt a warm and soft feeling in her heart. She thought the mushroom liked her too.
+
+She smiled and gave the mushroom a gentle hug. She was proud of her new friend. She did not care what Tom said. She and the mushroom were happy.

+She did not hear the man who came to the truck. He was busy. He had to move the things to a new house. He did not see Anna. He got in the driver's seat and started the engine.
+
+He drove the truck away from Anna's house. He did not know Anna was in the back. Anna did not know she was moving. She kept singing.
+
+She stopped singing when she heard a loud beep. She looked out the window and saw a red light. She saw cars and people. She saw a sign that said "Downtown". She did not see her house.

+She was scared. She cried. She shouted "Help, help, help". She used the microphone. She hoped someone would hear her.
+
+The man heard her. He was surprised. He looked in the mirror and saw Anna. He was shocked. He did not know how she got in the truck. He did not know what to do.
+
+He decided to reverse. He pushed a button and made the truck go back. He hoped he could find Anna's house. He hoped he could take her home. He hoped she would stop crying.
+
+He said "Don't worry, little girl. I'm sorry. I didn't see you. I'll take you home. Please stop crying". He used the microphone. He wanted to calm her down.

You can get hurt. You have to stay with your mom and dad. They love you. They miss you". He used the microphone. He wanted to teach her a lesson.
+
+Anna nodded. She said "I know, mister. I'm sorry. I love my mom and dad. I miss them too". She used the microphone. She wanted to show him she learned her lesson.
+
+The man drove the truck back to Anna's house. He saw Anna's mom and dad. They were worried. They were looking for Anna. They saw the truck. They saw Anna. They were happy. They were relieved.
+
+They ran to the truck and hugged Anna. They said "Anna, Anna, we're so glad you're safe. We were so scared. Where were you? What happened?". They used their voices. They wanted to know the truth.
+
+Anna told them what happened. She said "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I was curious. I wanted to see the truck. I found a microphone. I sang a song. I didn't hear the man. He drove me away. He heard me.

+
+Her mom and dad listened to her. They said "Anna, Anna, we're proud of you. You were brave. You used the microphone. You asked for help. You said sorry. You learned your lesson.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big box with a lock. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe there is a treat in the box," Lily said. "Let's try to unlock it."
+
+They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They tried to pull and push the lock, but it was too strong. They felt helpless.
+
+"Maybe we can ask Mom for help," Ben said. "She is in the kitchen."
+
+They ran to the kitchen and found Mom. They told her about the box and the lock.

+Tim and Mia liked to play pretend. They liked to pretend they were lions in the jungle. They put on orange scarves and ran around the yard. They hid behind trees and bushes and jumped out to scare each other. They made loud roars and showed their teeth.
+
+One day, they saw a big cardboard box in the corner of the yard. They wondered what was inside. They decided to pretend it was a cave and they were the king and queen of the lions. They crawled inside the box and made it cozy with pillows and blankets. They felt very happy and proud.
+
+But they did not know that their big brother Tom was watching them. He wanted to play a trick on them. He waited until they were quiet and then he sneaked up to the box. He pushed it hard and made it roll over. He laughed and said, "Gotcha!"

+Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had been mean and silly. He wanted to make up with them. He said, "I'm sorry, Tim and Mia. I was just joking. I didn't mean to scare you. Can we be friends again?" He picked up their scarves and followed them.
+
+He found them sitting on the porch, looking sad. He gave them their scarves and said, "Here, these are yours. You look great as lions. You make very good roars. Can I join your game? Can I be a lion too?"
+
+Tim and Mia looked at him. They saw he was sincere and kind. They forgave him and smiled. They said, "OK, Tom. You can be a lion too. But you have to be nice and gentle. And you have to roar softly."

+Anna was angry. She said, "No, that is my plane. Give it back. You have your own toys."
+
+Ben was bossy. He said, "No, I like this plane. It is better than yours. I can make it soar higher and faster. Watch me." He threw the plane in the air and ran after it.
+
+Anna ran after him too. She wanted her plane back. She shouted, "Stop, Ben. That is not fair. You are being mean."

+Sam liked to play with cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom on the floor and pretend they were racing. He was very good at making car noises.
+
+One day, he saw a new car in his friend Tom's room. It was shiny and red and had a big number 8 on it. Sam wanted to play with it very much. He asked Tom, "Can I borrow your car? It looks so fun!"
+
+Tom said, "No, this is my car. I got it for my birthday. You have your own cars. Go play with them."
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He thought Tom was not a nice friend. He waited until Tom was not looking and took the car. He ran to his room and closed the door. He made the car zoom on his bed and smiled.
+
+But Tom saw him and followed him. He knocked on the door and said, "Sam, give me back my car! You took it without asking. That is not nice. That is stealing!"
+
+Sam did not want to give back the car. He said, "No, this is my car now. I like it more than you. Go away!"

+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like what Max said. She wanted him to like her dress and play with her. She said, "You are mean, Max. You are a bad brother. I don't want to play with you. I will sing a song instead."
+
+She turned away from Max and started to sing a song. She sang very loud and very high. She sang about how she was a princess and how Max was a jerk. She sang until her mom came home.
+
+Mom heard Lily's song and saw her dress. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? Why are you wearing my clothes? Why are you singing so loud? You are making a lot of noise and trouble."
+
+Lily stopped singing and looked at her mom. She felt scared and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to dress up and have fun. I wanted Max to play with me, but he was mean. He said I was spoiled and annoying."
+
+Mom looked at Max and saw his cars. She said, "Max, is that true? Did you say those things to Lily? Why were you mean to her? She is your sister. You should be nice and share."

+Max looked at his mom and felt guilty and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was mean to Lily. I didn't want to play with her. I wanted to play with my cars. I said she was spoiled and annoying."
+
+Mom said, "That was not nice, Max. You hurt Lily's feelings. You should apologize to her and give her a hug. You should also let her play with your cars sometimes. She is your sister and she loves you."
+
+Max said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. You are not spoiled and annoying. You are my sister and I love you. Do you want to play with my cars?"
+
+Lily said, "I'm sorry, too, Max. I was loud and messy. You are not a jerk. You are my brother and I love you. Yes, I want to play with your cars."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They played with the cars and the dress. They sang a song together. Mom was happy. She said, "That's better. You are good kids. I love you both."
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a rope. The rope can hang from the tree. Sara and Tom want to swing on the rope.
+
+"Can I go first?" Sara asks.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Tom says.
+
+Sara runs to the rope and grabs it. She swings high in the air. She feels happy and free. She laughs and shouts.
+
+"Look at me, Tom! I am flying!"
+
+Tom claps and cheers. He waits for his turn.
+
+But then, the sky turns dark. It starts to rain. The rain is cold and wet. Sara and Tom get wet too. They stop swinging. They run to the bench. They sit under the umbrella.
+
+"I don't like the rain," Sara says.
+
+"Me neither," Tom says.
+
+They look at the rope. The rope is wet and slippery. They can't swing on it anymore.
+
+"Maybe we can come back tomorrow," Sara says.
+
+"Maybe," Tom says.
+
+They hope the rain will stop soon. They want to swing on the rope again. They want to have fun. They are friends.
+Tim and Jen like to play in the park. They see a big structure made of wood and metal. It has slides, swings, ladders and bridges. They want to climb on it and have fun.
+
+But Mom warns them, "Be careful, kids. The structure is dry and old. Some parts may be broken or sharp. Do not touch them or you may get hurt."
+
+Tim and Jen listen to Mom. They look for the safe parts of the structure. They find a slide that is smooth and shiny. They take turns sliding down and laughing. They find a swing that is strong and soft. They push each other and fly in the air. They find a ladder that is sturdy and wide. They climb up and down and pretend to be monkeys.
+
+They have a lot of fun on the structure. They thank Mom for warning them. They hug her and say, "We love you, Mom. You are the best." Mom smiles and says, "I love you too, kids. You are very smart and brave." They go home happy and tired.

+
+One day, he found a helmet in the garage. It was shiny and hard. He put it on his head and felt brave. He said to his mom, "Look, mom, I am a firefighter!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's a fine helmet, Sam. But it is not a firefighter helmet. It is a bike helmet. It helps you be safe when you ride your bike."
+
+Sam was confused. He said, "But I want to be a firefighter. I want to save people from fire and smoke."
+
+Mom hugged him and said, "You can be a firefighter in your dreams, Sam. And you can also be a bike rider in real life. Both are fun and good. You just need to wear the right helmet for each one."
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will wear the bike helmet when I ride my bike. And I will wear the firefighter helmet when I dream."
+
+Mom kissed him and said, "That's a good idea, Sam. Now, let's go for a bike ride. Maybe we will see some firefighters on the way."
+
+Sam smiled and said, "Yes, mom. Let's go!" He grabbed his bike and his helmet and followed mom outside. He was happy to dream and to ride. He was happy to be Sam.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the woods. They pretend to be animals and hunters. Lila is a fox and Tom is a hunter. They plan to have fun.
+

+
+But when he gets to the tree, he sees Lila. She jumps out and says, "Surprise! I am not a bird, I am a fox!" Tom laughs and says, "You are a clever fox, Lila. You fooled me." Lila smiles and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good hunter. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, I do. But this time, I will be a bear and you will be a hunter. Let's plan a new game." Lila agrees and they run to another spot. They are happy to play in the woods. They are good friends.

+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They want to see what is inside.
+
+They open the box and see a hairy thing. It has four legs and a long tail. It makes a loud sound. "Meow!" It is a cat.
+
+Tom likes the cat. He wants to pet it. He moves his hand to touch the cat. But Mia is scared of the cat. She thinks it will scratch her. She moves back and says, "No, Tom! Don't touch it!"
+
+Tom says, "Why not? It is a nice cat. It is soft and warm. Look, it moves its lip and licks its paw. It is not mean."
+
+Mia says, "But it has sharp teeth and claws. It can bite you or hurt you. It is not a toy. It is a wild animal. We should leave it alone."
+
+Tom and Mia start to argue. They both want their way. The cat hears them and gets angry. It jumps out of the box and runs away. Tom and Mia are sad. They lose the cat and their fun. They wish they had been nicer to each other and to the cat.
+Lily and Tom were going to have a picnic with their mom and dad. They packed some sandwiches, fruits, and cookies in a big basket. They also brought a blanket, a ball, and some books to play and read.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the park. On the way, they saw some cows, horses, and sheep on the farms. They said hello to the animals and counted them. Lily liked the cows best, and Tom liked the horses best.
+
+When they arrived at the park, they found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket and put the basket on it. Mom and dad said, "Let's hurry and eat before the ants come!" They all laughed and opened the basket. They shared the sandwiches, fruits, and cookies. They drank some juice and water. They said, "Yum, yum, this is a good picnic!"
+
+After they finished eating, they decided to play some games. Mom and dad said, "How about hide and seek?" Lily and Tom said, "Yes, yes, we love hide and seek!" Mom said, "OK, I will count to ten and you two go hide. Ready, set, go!"
+
+Lily and Tom ran to find a good hiding place. Lily saw a big bush and crawled behind it. She thought, "This is a perfect spot, mom will never find me here!" Tom saw a small bench and hid under it. He thought, "This is a clever spot, mom will never look here!"
+
+Mom finished counting and said, "Here I come, ready or not!" She started to look for Lily and Tom. She walked around the tree, the bench, and the bush. She pretended not to see them and said, "Hmm, where are they? I can't find them anywhere!"
+
+Lily and Tom giggled quietly in their hiding places. They felt happy and excited. They waited for mom to find them.
+
+But then, they heard a loud bark. A big dog came running towards them. It was brown and furry, and had a long tongue. It looked friendly, but it was very noisy. It sniffed the air and smelled the picnic. It ran to the blanket and started to eat the leftovers.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared of the dog. They did not like its bark and its teeth. They wanted mom and dad to help them. They came out of their hiding places and shouted, "Mom, dad, help, help, there is a big dog!"
+
+Mom and dad heard their cries and saw the dog. They ran to the blanket and shooed the dog away. They said, "Go away, dog, this is our picnic, not yours!" The dog whimpered and ran away.
+
+Mom and dad hugged Lily and Tom and said, "Are you OK, kids? Don't worry, the dog is gone now. It was just hungry and curious, it did not mean to scare you." Lily and Tom nodded and said, "We are OK, mom and dad. Thank you for saving us. We are sorry for the picnic." Mom and dad said, "It's OK, kids, we still have some cookies left. Let's eat them and then go home. We had a fun picnic, didn't we?" Lily and Tom said, "Yes, we did, mom and dad. We love you!" They all smiled and ate the cookies. They packed their things and went back to the car. They said goodbye to the park and the animals. They drove home, feeling happy and tired. They had a good day.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with toy cars and trucks. One day, they find a big red truck in the garage. It has a hose and a tank. Sam says, "This is a fire truck. We can be firemen and shoot water at the fire." Ben says, "Yes, let's play firemen. I will drive the truck and you can shoot the hose."
+
+They get in the truck and pretend to drive around the yard. They see a pile of leaves. Sam says, "Look, there is a fire. We have to shoot water at it." Ben says, "OK, I will stop the truck and you can shoot the hose." Sam grabs the hose and points it at the leaves. He squeezes the handle, but nothing comes out. He says, "Oh no, the hose is not working. Why is there no water?"
+
+Ben looks at the tank. He sees a sticker that says "Gas". He says, "Sam, this is not a water tank. This is a gas tank. Gas is not water. Gas is for cars and trucks. We cannot shoot gas at the fire. That is bad. Gas can make the fire bigger and louder." Sam says, "Oh, I did not know that. Gas is not water. Gas is bad for fire. We should not play with gas. That is dangerous." Ben says, "Yes, you are right. We should not play with gas. We should play with something else."
+
+They get out of the truck and look for something else to play with. They see a ball and a net. Sam says, "Look, there is a ball and a net. We can play soccer. We can kick the ball and score goals." Ben says, "Yes, let's play soccer. I will be the goalie and you can shoot the ball." Sam says, "OK, I will shoot the ball and you can catch it."
+
+They run to the ball and the net. They have fun kicking and catching the ball. They forget about the truck and the gas. They are happy playing soccer. They do not need to shoot water or gas. They only need to shoot the ball.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today they are bored. They want to do something new.

+
+"Not now, sweetie. I need to finish some work. Maybe later," Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are impatient. They do not like to wait. They look around the house for something fun.
+
+They see a big bowl of fruit on the table. It has apples, bananas, oranges and grapes. They look yummy.
+
+"Let's try them!" Ben says.
+
+"OK!" Anna says.
+
+They climb on the chairs and reach for the fruit. They each take one and bite.

+
+They help Mom clean up.
+
+They are happy and full.
+
+They do not need to go to the park anymore.
+
+They play with their toys and books again.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see a big barn. The barn has many animals inside.
+
+"Let's go to the barn," Tom says. "We can see the cows and the pigs and the chickens."
+
+"OK," Anna says. "But we have to be careful. The animals are big and loud. And we have to be quiet. We don't want to scare them."
+
+They walk to the barn. They hold hands. They see a door. The door is open. They peek inside.
+
+"Wow," Tom says. "Look at all the animals. They are so many and so different. They have fur and feathers and tails and horns."

+
+They see a chicken. The chicken is brown and white. The chicken has a red comb. The chicken says "cluck".
+
+"Hello, chicken," Tom and Anna say. "You are fast and noisy. Can we see your eggs?"
+
+The chicken nods. Tom and Anna follow the chicken. The chicken shows them a nest. The nest has some eggs. The eggs are white and smooth.
+
+"Wow," Tom and Anna say. "The eggs are so pretty. Can we hold them?"
+
+The chicken nods. Tom and Anna hold the eggs. The eggs are warm and heavy.
+
+They hear a voice. The voice is loud and friendly. The voice says "Hi, kids. Are you having fun?"
+
+They turn around. They see a man. The man is tall and kind. The man is the farmer.
+
+"Hello, farmer," Tom and Anna say. "We are having fun. We like your barn. We like your animals. They are nice to us."
+
+"I'm glad you like them," the farmer says. "They are nice to you because you are nice to them. You are good kids. Do you want to help me feed them?"
+
+"Yes, please," Tom and Anna say. "We want to help you. We are ready."

+
+"Wow, Ben, that is fun!" Lily says. She wants to try too. She pulls the zip down to Ben's tummy. She sees his red shirt. "Now I can see your shirt, Ben!"
+
+Ben laughs. He likes Lily's game. He pulls the zip up again. "Now you can't see my shirt, Lily!"

+
+Kim and Leo were sad and angry. They did not like the small red ball. It did not bounce high or make a loud sound. It was not flexible like their big orange ball. They tried to find the mean boy and get their ball back, but he had vanished. He had hidden behind a big tree and watched them cry.
+
+The mean boy was happy. He liked the big orange ball. It bounced high and made a loud sound. It was flexible like a snake. He threw the ball into the hoop and cheered.

+Jill wanted to wear her pink dress today. She liked the dress very much. It had flowers and ribbons on it. She put the dress on her bed and went to brush her teeth.

+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the ripped dress and the crying children. She was sad and mad. She said, "Look what you did! You were both selfish and foolish. Now you have no dress and no brother. Go to your rooms and think about what you did. You are in big trouble."
+Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a box for dolls, a box for cars, a box for books and a box for blocks. She did not like it when her brother Max messed up her boxes. She was very bossy and told him what to do.

+They started to fight over the blocks. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They did not hear their mom coming up the stairs. She opened the door and saw the mess and the noise. She was very mad.
+
+"Lily and Max, what are you doing? This is not how you play nicely! You are making a lot of noise and you are not sharing your toys! You are both in big trouble!" Mom said.
+
+She took away all their toys and put them in a big bag. She told them to sit on their beds and be quiet. She left the room and closed the door. Lily and Max were left in silence.

+Lily likes to test things. She likes to see what happens when she pushes, pulls, drops, or shakes them. She has a lot of toys to test, but sometimes she wants to test other things too.

+
+Suddenly, a loud sound fills the room. It is a siren. It goes beep-beep-beep. Lily is scared. She covers her ears and cries. She wishes she did not press the button.

+
+One day, Lily sees a big garage. She has never seen a garage before. She is curious. She wants to hop inside. She hops to the door, she hops to the window, she hops to the wall. She looks for a way in. She sees a small hole. She hops to the hole, she hops through the hole, she hops into the garage.
+
+Inside the garage, Lily sees many things. She sees a car, she sees a bike, she sees a box. She hops to the car, she hops to the bike, she hops to the box. She sees something black. She hops to the black thing, she hops on the black thing, she hops with the black thing. It is a cat.
+
+The cat is not happy. The cat does not like to hop. The cat does not like Lily. The cat hisses, the cat scratches, the cat chases. Lily is scared. She hops off the black thing, she hops away from the black thing, she hops out of the garage.
+
+Lily runs to her mom. She hugs her mom, she tells her mom, she cries to her mom. Mom is kind. Mom is gentle. Mom is wise. Mom says, "Lily, you are brave. You are curious. You are fun. But you must be careful. Not all things like to hop. Not all things are friendly. Not all things are safe. Next time, ask me before you hop into a garage."
+
+Lily nods. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I learned my lesson. I will not hop into a garage again. I will only hop in the grass, in the dirt, in the sun. I will only hop with you, with Dad, with my friends. Hop, hop, hop, I still love to hop. But I love you more."

+She went to Snowy's cage and opened the door. "Look, Snowy, look what I found!" she said. "Isn't it beautiful?" She held the necklace close to Snowy's nose. But Snowy did not like the necklace. He sniffed it and made a face. He thought it smelled disgusting. He turned his head away and hopped to the other side of the cage.
+
+Lila was surprised and sad. She did not understand why Snowy did not like her necklace. She thought he was being rude and mean. She said, "Fine, Snowy, if you don't like my necklace, I don't like you either. You are a bad rabbit. I don't want to play with you anymore." She slammed the cage door and ran away.
+
+Snowy felt very sorry and lonely. He did not mean to hurt Lila's feelings. He just did not like the smell of the necklace. He wished he could tell her that he still loved her and wanted to be her friend. He hoped she would come back soon.
+
+Lila went to her room and looked at herself in the mirror. She admired her necklace and thought she looked very pretty. But she also felt a little guilty and sad. She missed Snowy and wondered if he was angry with her. She decided to go back to the garden and apologize to him.
+
+She ran to Snowy's cage and opened the door. She saw that Snowy was sitting in a corner, looking sad and scared. She felt sorry for him and realized that she had been wrong. She said, "Snowy, I'm sorry. I was mean to you. I don't care about the necklace. I care about you. You are my best friend. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Snowy was very happy to hear Lila's words. He jumped to her arms and licked her face. He forgave her and showed her that he still loved her. Lila hugged him and smiled. She took off the necklace and threw it away. She said, "You are right, Snowy. The necklace is disgusting. It does not make me happy. You make me happy. You are the best thing I ever found."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and selfish. Don't judge others by their appearance. Don't let things come between you and your friends. Love is more precious than anything.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to find sticks and pretend they were swords or wands. Sara found a big stick that was brown and smooth. She waved it in the air and said, "Look, Ben, I have a magic wand!"
+
+Ben looked at her stick and smiled. He had a smaller stick that was green and rough. He said, "That's a nice wand, Sara, but mine is better. It's a dragon tooth!"
+
+Sara and Ben pretended to fight with their sticks. They made noises like magic and dragons. They had fun.
+
+But then, a dog came running towards them. It was a big dog with black fur and yellow eyes. It looked unusual and scary. It barked loudly and ran to Sara and Ben.
+
+Sara and Ben were afraid. They dropped their sticks and ran away. The dog picked up Sara's stick with its mouth. It liked to bite sticks. It thought Sara's stick was a bone.
+
+The dog ran away with Sara's stick. Sara and Ben watched from a safe distance. They were sad and angry. They wanted their sticks back.
+
+They went to find their mom and dad. They told them what happened. Mom and dad hugged them and said, "We're sorry, Sara and Ben. That was a bad dog. It shouldn't have taken your sticks. But don't worry, we can find you new sticks. There are many sticks in the park. And you can still play with your imagination."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They felt better. They thanked their mom and dad. They went to look for new sticks. They hoped they would find some that were unusual and fun.
+Tim and Lily were on a farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and horses. They wanted to pet them and feed them. Mom and dad said they could, but they had to be careful and gentle.
+
+One animal they did not see was a mule. A mule was like a horse, but with longer ears and a different tail. Mom and dad said there was a mule in the barn, but he was shy and did not like strangers. Tim and Lily were curious and wanted to see the mule.
+
+They sneaked into the barn when mom and dad were busy. They looked around and saw a big, brown mule in a corner. He had a smooth coat and a white nose. He looked sad and lonely. Tim and Lily walked slowly towards him, holding out their hands with some carrots.
+
+"Hello, mule," Tim said softly. "We are Tim and Lily. We want to be your friends. Do you want a carrot?"
+
+The mule lifted his head and looked at them with his big, dark eyes. He sniffed the carrots and took one from Tim's hand. He chewed it slowly and made a funny noise. Tim and Lily smiled and stroked his nose. He felt warm and soft.
+
+"You are a nice mule," Lily said. "What is your name?"
+
+The mule did not answer. He just nudged them with his nose and asked for more carrots. Tim and Lily gave him all they had. They hugged him and told him they liked him.
+
+Suddenly, they heard mom and dad calling them. They had to go. They said goodbye to the mule and thanked him for the carrots. They ran out of the barn and back to their parents.
+
+They told them they had met the mule and he was very friendly. Mom and dad were surprised and happy. They said they were proud of them for being brave and kind. They said they could visit the mule again tomorrow, if he wanted.

+Tim and Lily were excited and happy. They hoped the mule would remember them and be their friend. They shivered with joy and anticipation. They loved the farm and the animals, especially the mule.
+Tom likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He makes them zoom and crash on the floor. He pretends they are racing or chasing each other.
+
+One day, he finds a new car in his toy box. It is red and shiny and has a button on the side. He pushes the button and the car makes a loud noise. It sounds like a real car. Tom is happy. He thinks this car is very interesting.
+
+He takes the car to the living room and puts it on the rug. He pushes the button again and the car starts to move. It goes faster and faster. It goes around the sofa and the table and the chair. Tom runs after it and laughs. He thinks this car is very fun.
+
+But soon, the car slows down and stops. It makes a low noise and then it is quiet. Tom is sad. He pushes the button again and again, but the car does not move. He picks it up and looks at it. He sees a small hole on the bottom. He remembers that his dad told him that some cars need fuel to work. Fuel is a kind of water that makes cars go.
+
+Tom sighs. He does not have any fuel for his car. He wonders where he can get some. He thinks maybe his dad has some in the garage. He decides to ask him later. He puts the car back in his toy box and takes out another one. He hopes his dad can help him make his interesting car work again.

+
+The pigeon looks at Tom and Mia. It sees that they are kind. It nods its head. It trusts them.
+
+"Thank you, Tom and Mia. You are good. You are friends. Please help me. Please take off the ring. It is not mine. It is someone else's. It is a mistake. It is a trap. It is bad." the pigeon says.
+
+Tom and Mia carefully take off the ring. They are gentle. They do not hurt the pigeon's leg. They free the pigeon. The pigeon is happy. It flaps its wings. It coos.

+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. They also had some blocks that they used to make buildings for their cars.
+
+"Look, I made a big building!" Lily said, showing Tom her tower of blocks. "My car can go inside and park."
+
+"That's nice," Tom said, "but my car is faster and stronger. It can knock down your building!" He drove his car towards Lily's tower and hit it hard. The blocks fell down and made a loud noise.

+Lily was sad. She liked her building and did not want Tom to break it. She started to cry and said, "That's not fair, Tom! You are mean! You ruined my building!"
+
+Tom felt bad. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He wanted to play with her, not hurt her. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. I didn't know you liked your building so much. Can I help you make it again?"
+
+Lily stopped crying and looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry and wanted to be nice. She said, "Okay, Tom. You can help me. But you have to be careful and gentle with the blocks. And you can't knock down my building again."

+Tom nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. I will be careful and gentle. And I won't knock down your building again. Maybe we can make it bigger and better together."
+
+They smiled and hugged and started to pick up the blocks. They decided to make a new building that had a garage for both their cars. They also learned a new word: reverse. They used it to make their cars go backwards and forwards in the garage. They had fun and played nicely. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some old clothes. They want to make a house for their dolls.

+
+She sees a paper plate and a pair of scissors. She runs to get them.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have an idea," she says. She cuts a hole in the paper plate. "This can be the window. We can stick it on the box."
+
+"Wow, that's clever," Tom says. He takes the scissors and cuts another hole in the sheet. "This can be the door. We can open and close it."

+They both pushed different buttons. The elevator started to move.
+
+"Stop that! You can't push all the buttons!" Mom said. "That's selfish. You have to share and take turns."
+
+"But I want to go first!" Anna said.
+
+"Me too!" Ben said.
+
+They started to pull each other's hair and kick each other's legs. Mom tried to stop them, but they were too loud and angry.
+
+The elevator stopped at every floor. People got in and out. They looked at Anna and Ben and shook their heads. They were not happy. They thought Anna and Ben were rude and naughty.

+The dog is too fast for them. He runs to the other side of the park. He drops the ball and starts to dig a hole. He wants to hide the ball in the hole.
+
+Lily and Ben catch up with the dog. They see the ball in the dirt. They try to get the ball, but the dog growls at them. He does not want to share the ball.
+
+"Please, give us our ball," Ben says. He is scared of the dog. He does not want to make the dog angry.
+
+The dog looks at Ben and Lily. He sees that they are sad. He feels sorry for them. He decides to be nice. He picks up the ball and brings it to them. He wags his tail and licks their faces.

+They invite the dog to play with them. They kick the ball and race to get it. The dog joins them. He is happy to have new friends. They have fun in the park.
+Anna and Ben like to play outside in the sun. They have a big box of crayons and some paper. They sit on the grass and draw pictures of their family, their pets and their toys.
+
+"Look, I draw a cat!" Anna says, holding up her paper. "It is black and white and has green eyes."
+
+"That is a nice cat," Ben says. "I draw a car. It is red and fast and has four wheels."
+
+They show each other their pictures and smile. They are having fun.
+
+But then, the sun gets very hot and bright. Anna and Ben feel sweaty and thirsty. They squint their eyes and look for some shade.
+
+"Let's go under that tree," Anna says, pointing to a big tree nearby. "It has a lot of shade. We can be cool there."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But we have to take our crayons and paper. We don't want to lose them."
+
+They pick up their box of crayons and their paper and walk to the tree. They find a nice spot under the branches and sit down. They start to draw again.
+
+But then, a gust of wind blows. It makes the leaves rustle and the paper fly. Anna and Ben try to catch their paper, but it is too late. The wind takes their paper away.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna says. "Our pictures are gone!"
+
+"Look, they are in the air!" Ben says, pointing to the sky. "They are like birds!"
+
+They watch their paper fly away, until they can't see them anymore. They feel sad.
+
+They look at their box of crayons. It is open and messy. Some of the crayons are broken and some are missing.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben says. "Our crayons are messy!"
+
+"Look, they are on the grass!" Anna says, pointing to the ground. "They are like flowers!"
+
+They see their crayons scattered on the grass, in different colors. They feel curious.
+
+They start to pick up their crayons and make new pictures on the grass. They use the crayons to draw shapes, letters and numbers. They have fun.

+
+"That is a nice sun," Ben says. "I draw a tree. It is green and tall and has leaves."
+
+They show each other their pictures and smile. They are happy.
+Lily and Max were excited to see the fireworks. They had never seen them before. Mom and Dad took them to the park where many people were waiting for the show.
+
+"Look, Lily, there's a big wheel!" Max pointed to a huge round thing with lights. "Can we go on it?"
+
+"Maybe later, Max. We have to find a good spot to watch the fireworks first," Mom said.
+
+They walked around the park until they saw a grassy hill. "This is perfect!" Dad said. "We can see the whole sky from here."
+
+They spread a blanket on the ground and sat down. Lily and Max hugged their teddy bears and waited for the fireworks to start.
+
+Soon, they heard a loud boom and saw a bright flash in the sky. Then, another boom and another flash. The sky was filled with colorful sparks and shapes. Lily and Max clapped and cheered.
+
+"Wow, they're so pretty!" Lily said.
+
+"I like the red ones best!" Max said.
+
+They watched the fireworks for a long time, until they started to get smaller and smaller.
+
+"Hey, why are they shrinking?" Max asked.
+
+"They're not shrinking, Max. They're just going further away," Dad explained.
+
+"But I want them to stay big and close!" Max said. He started to cry.
+
+Lily felt sorry for her brother. She hugged him and said, "Don't be sad, Max. The fireworks are still there. They're just saying goodbye."
+
+"Goodbye, fireworks!" Max sniffed.
+
+"Goodbye, fireworks!" Lily echoed.
+
+They waved at the sky until the last spark faded. Then, they smiled and thanked Mom and Dad for taking them to the park.
+
+"Can we go on the big wheel now?" Max asked.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Dad said.

+They packed their blanket and teddy bears and headed to the big wheel. They had a fun night at the park.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big yellow ball. It was shiny and round. They both wanted to play with it.
+
+"Give me the ball!" Tom said. He tried to grab it from Lily.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said. She held the ball tight in her arms.
+
+They pulled and pushed. They did not share. They did not have fun.
+
+Then, a big dog came. It saw the yellow ball. It wanted to play with it too. It ran towards Lily and Tom. It barked loud.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the ball. The dog took it in its mouth. It ran away.
+
+Lily and Tom were sad. They lost the ball. They looked at each other.
+
+"I am sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I should have shared with you."
+
+"I am sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I should have been nice to you."
+
+They hugged. They were friends again.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned to share and be kind. They learned that playing together is more fun than fighting. They learned that a yellow ball is not worth losing a friend.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big scale in the kitchen. It was shiny and had numbers on it. They wanted to see how much they weighed.
+
+"Can we play with the scale?" Lily asked her mom.
+
+"Only if you are careful and don't break it," her mom said. "And don't forget to wash your hands before lunch."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and took turns stepping on the scale. They laughed when they saw the numbers change. They tried to make the numbers bigger by holding toys or books. They had fun with the scale.
+
+Soon, it was time for lunch. Lily's mom made them tasty sandwiches and fruit. She called them to the table.
+
+"Come on, let's eat," Lily said to Tom.
+
+"But I want to play more with the scale," Tom said. "It's so cool."
+
+"You can play later," Lily said. "We have to eat now. Mom said so."
+
+Tom shook his head. He did not listen to Lily. He ran back to the scale and jumped on it. He wanted to see how high the numbers could go.
+
+But he jumped too hard. The scale made a loud noise and cracked. The numbers stopped working. Tom broke the scale.
+
+Lily's mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the broken scale and was angry.
+
+"Tom, what did you do?" she asked. "You broke the scale. That was not nice. You did not follow the rules."
+
+Tom felt sorry. He looked at Lily. She was sad too. She liked the scale.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I'm sorry, mom. I was not careful. I was not a good friend."
+
+Lily's mom sighed. She was not happy, but she was kind. She said to Tom, "It's okay, Tom. I know you did not mean to break the scale. But you have to learn to listen and obey. And you have to respect other people's things. That is how you can be a good friend."
+
+Tom nodded. He learned his lesson. He said to Lily, "Can we still be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled. She was a good friend. She said to Tom, "Yes, we can. But next time, let's play with something else."
+
+They hugged and went to the table. They ate their tasty lunch and thanked Lily's mom. They were happy again. They learned to be careful, to listen and to respect.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to keep things. She kept toys, books, clothes, and even rocks in her room. She did not like to share or give away anything. Her room was very full and messy.
+
+One day, her mom told her that it was spring. Spring was a time when flowers grew, birds sang, and everything was new and fresh. Mom said that spring was also a time to clean and make space for new things. She asked Lily to help her sort out her things and give away some of them to other children who needed them.
+
+Lily did not want to do that. She said that all her things were hers and she loved them. She did not care about other children or new things. She wanted to keep everything. Mom was sad and said that Lily was being selfish and greedy. She said that keeping too many things was not good for her or for others.
+
+Lily did not listen to mom. She hid some of her things under her bed and in her closet. She thought that mom would not find them. She was wrong. Mom found them and was very angry. She said that Lily had to give away all her things, even the ones she liked the most. She said that Lily had to learn a lesson.
+
+Lily was very sad and scared. She did not want to lose all her things. She cried and begged mom to let her keep some of them. She said that she was sorry and that she would share and give away some of them. Mom saw that Lily was sorry and felt sorry for her too. She said that Lily could keep some of her things, but only the ones that she really needed and loved. She said that Lily had to give away the rest of them to other children who would be happy and grateful.
+
+Lily agreed and did what mom said. She gave away some of her toys, books, clothes, and rocks to other children. She saw that they were happy and thanked her. She felt good and happy too. She realized that keeping too many things was not fun or nice. She learned that sharing and giving away was better and kinder. She also learned that spring was a time to let go of old and unknown things and make room for new and wonderful things. She thanked mom for teaching her that. Mom hugged her and said that she was proud of her. Lily smiled and said that she loved mom and spring.

+She puts the cake on the table and goes to wash her hands.
+
+Ben and Anna look at the cake. They want to taste it. They are hungry.

+"Let's have a little bite. Mom won't notice," Ben says. He reaches for the cake.
+
+"No, Ben, we can't. Mom said it is warm. We might burn our mouths. And it is not nice to take the cake without asking," Anna says. She pulls Ben's hand away.
+
+"But I want it now. It looks so good. And Mom is busy. She won't see us," Ben says. He tries to grab the cake again.
+
+"Stop it, Ben. You are being naughty. If you take the cake, Mom will be sad and angry. And we will be in trouble," Anna says. She pushes Ben away.
+
+Ben is mad. He pushes Anna back. They start to fight. They knock over the cake. It falls on the floor. It makes a big mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She returns to the kitchen. She sees the cake on the floor. She sees Ben and Anna fighting. She is shocked and upset.
+
+"What have you done? How could you ruin the cake? I worked hard to make it for you. And why are you fighting? You are supposed to be nice to each other," Mom says.
+
+She scolds Ben and Anna. She makes them clean up the mess. She sends them to their rooms. She says they can't have any cake today.
+
+Ben and Anna are sorry. They wish they had listened to Mom. They wish they had waited for the cake to cool down. They wish they had shared the cake with Mom. They wish they had been good.
+Tom and Mia liked to play with their robot. The robot was big and red and could talk and move. The robot was also very old. He had many scratches and dents on his metal body. Sometimes he made funny noises and stopped working.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia found a big box in the garage. The box had many wires and buttons and lights. They wondered what it was. They asked their robot to come and see.
+
+The robot looked at the box and smiled. He said, "This is a loader. It can help me fix myself. It can give me new energy and parts. It can make me young and strong again."
+
+Tom and Mia were happy for their robot. They wanted him to be happy and healthy. They helped him get inside the box. They pushed some buttons and turned some knobs. The box made a loud sound and a bright light.
+
+After a few minutes, the box opened. Out came the robot. He looked different. He was shiny and smooth and had new colors. He could talk and move faster and better. He thanked Tom and Mia for their help. He said, "You are my best friends. You made me a new robot. I feel great."
+
+Tom and Mia hugged their robot. They were glad he felt great. They said, "You are our best friend too. You are still our robot. We love you." They played with their robot all day. They had a lot of fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many feathers. The bird was red and blue and yellow. It was very attractive.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. I want a feather from it."
+
+She ran to the bird and tried to pull a feather. The bird did not like that. It squawked and pecked at Lily. Lily cried and ran back to Ben.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! The bird hurt me!" she said. "It was mean to me. I only wanted a feather."
+
+Ben hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. The bird did not want to give you a feather. It was its feather. You have to ask before you take something."
+
+"But I wanted a feather. It was so attractive. Can I have one of yours?" Lily said. She looked at Ben's hair. He had a feather in it. It was from his hat.
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. You can have my feather. It is not as pretty as the bird's, but it is still nice. Here you go." He took the feather from his hat and gave it to Lily.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I like your feather. It is very attractive too." She put the feather in her hair and hugged Ben.
+
+They went back to playing in the park. They were happy. They learned to accept what they had and to share with each other.
+Sara did not like cauliflower. She thought it was white and yucky. She always hid it under her plate or gave it to her dog. One day, her mom made a big pot of cauliflower soup for dinner. She said it was important to eat healthy food.
+
+Sara did not want to eat the soup. She made a face and said, "No, thank you, mom. I do not like cauliflower. Can I have something else?"
+
+Mom shook her head and said, "No, Sara. This is what we have for dinner. You have to try it. It is good for you."
+
+Sara was angry. She did not want to try it. She pushed her bowl away and said, "I do not care. I do not want it. It is gross."
+
+Mom was sad. She said, "Sara, you are being rude. You have to eat what I make for you. You do not know what you are missing. Cauliflower is delicious."
+
+Sara did not listen. She got up from the table and ran to her room. She slammed the door and said, "I hate cauliflower. I hate mom. I hate dinner."
+
+She did not know that mom had a surprise for her. She had made a chocolate cake for dessert. She wanted to celebrate Sara's good grades at school. She wanted to make Sara happy.
+
+But Sara did not come back to the table. She stayed in her room and cried. She did not hear mom calling her name. She did not smell the cake. She did not see the candles.
+
+She missed the surprise. She missed the cake. She missed the fun.
+
+She regretted being mean to mom. She regretted not trying the soup. She regretted running away.
+
+She wished she had been nice. She wished she had been brave. She wished she had been grateful.
+
+But it was too late. The cake was gone. The candles were out. The night was over.
+
+Sara had a bad ending.
+Ben and Lily were jolly twins who liked to play in the pool. They had a game where they would dive under the water and see who could stay longer. They also liked to splash each other and make bubbles.
+
+One day, they saw a big flame in the sky. It was a hot-air balloon that was flying over their house. They were amazed by the bright colors and the sound of the fire. They wanted to see it closer, so they ran out of the pool and followed it with their eyes.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "It's so big and pretty!"
+
+"I wish we could go in it!" Lily said. "It must be fun to fly in the air!"
+
+They ran across the yard, trying to keep up with the balloon. They did not see the fence that was in their way. They bumped into it and fell down. They hurt their knees and elbows and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard their cries and came out to see what happened. She saw them lying on the ground, bleeding and sobbing. She ran to them and hugged them. She cleaned their wounds and put band-aids on them.
+
+"What were you doing, my darlings?" she asked. "Why did you leave the pool?"
+
+"We saw a flame in the sky, Mom!" Ben said. "It was a balloon and we wanted to see it!"
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. "I know, my loves, it was a beautiful sight. But you should not run after things that are far away. You should stay where it is safe and watch them from a distance. You could have hurt yourselves more or got lost. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for being silly and reckless. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry. Mom forgave them and took them back to the pool. She told them to be careful and enjoy their game.
+
+They learned their lesson and never ran after flames again. They were happy and jolly in the pool, diving and splashing and making bubbles. They also watched the balloons in the sky, but only with their eyes. They knew that some things are better to admire than to chase.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys and a shovel. They liked to dig holes and bury their toys. Then they would pretend to be pirates and look for treasure.
+
+"Look, I buried my car here," Tom said, pointing to a mound of dirt. "Can you find it?"
+
+Lily nodded and took the shovel. She started to dig, but the dirt was very thick and hard. She had to use both hands and push hard. She dug and dug, but she could not find the car yet.
+
+"Where is it?" she asked. "Did you bury it too deep?"
+
+Tom shrugged. He did not remember how deep he buried it. He thought it was fun to make big holes. He looked around and saw another hole. He ran to it and started to dig.
+
+"Maybe it's here," he said. "Or maybe it's here," he said, running to another hole.
+
+Lily followed him, but she was getting tired. She did not like to dig so much. She wanted to play with the toys, not bury them. She saw a teddy bear sticking out of a hole. She pulled it out and hugged it.
+
+"I found a treasure!" she said. "It's soft and fuzzy and cute. I like it."
+
+Tom looked at her and frowned. He did not like teddy bears. He liked cars and trucks and planes. He wanted to find his car. He kept digging, but he could not find it yet.
+
+He started to cry. He was sad and angry. He wanted his car back.
+
+Lily heard him cry and felt sorry for him. She walked to him and gave him the teddy bear.
+
+"Here, you can have this," she said. "Maybe it will make you happy. I don't need it. I have other toys."
+
+Tom looked at her and the teddy bear. He wiped his tears and smiled. He took the teddy bear and hugged it.
+
+"Thank you," he said. "You are a good friend. I'm sorry I buried my car. Maybe we can find it later. Do you want to play something else?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She was glad he was happy. She did not mind sharing her toys. She liked to play with him.
+
+They put the shovel away and opened the box of toys. They found some balls and dolls and books. They played together and had fun. They forgot about the buried car. They were happy.
+Dan and Jen liked to play soccer. They had a big ball and two goals in their yard. They dreamed of playing in a stadium, where many people would watch them and cheer.
+
+One day, they saw a poster on the street. It said: "Soccer match in the stadium. Come and see the best teams. Free tickets for kids." Dan and Jen were very happy. They ran home and asked their mom if they could go.
+
+Their mom said no. She said there was a bad sickness that spread from person to person. She said the stadium was not safe. She said they had to stay home and wash their hands.
+
+But Dan and Jen did not listen. They were persistent. They wanted to see the soccer match. They waited until their mom was busy. Then they sneaked out of the house. They took their ball and ran to the stadium.
+
+When they got there, they saw many people. They saw the teams playing on the grass. They saw the goals and the flags. They felt excited. They found a seat and watched the game. They cheered and clapped.
+
+But they did not notice that some people were coughing and sneezing. They did not notice that some people had masks and gloves. They did not notice that the bad sickness was spreading in the stadium.
+
+Soon, they felt sick too. They had a fever and a sore throat. They felt tired and dizzy. They wanted to go home. But they could not find their mom. They could not find their way out. They were scared and alone.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big jar of honey on a bench. Tim said, "Look, honey! Let's take some and eat it. It will be yummy." Sam said, "No, Tim. That is not ours. Someone else left it there. It is not good to steal." But Tim did not listen. He ran to the bench and grabbed the jar.
+
+But he did not know that the jar belonged to a beekeeper, who was nearby. The beekeeper had many bees who made the honey. When the bees saw Tim take the jar, they got angry. They flew out of their boxes and chased Tim. They stung him all over his face and arms. Tim screamed and dropped the jar. The honey spilled on the ground.
+
+The beekeeper came and saw what happened. He was very mad. He said, "You are a bad boy! You tried to steal my honey. You hurt my bees. You made a mess. You should be ashamed of yourself." He called Tim's mom and told her what Tim did. Tim's mom was very sad and angry. She came and took Tim home. She said, "You are in big trouble, Tim. You have to say sorry to the beekeeper and his bees. You have to pay for the honey and the jar. You have to go to bed without dinner. You have to learn to be good and not steal."
+
+Tim felt very bad. He had a lot of pain from the stings. He had no honey to eat. He had no friend to play with. He had no mom to hug him. He wished he had listened to Sam. He wished he had not tried to steal the honey. He was very ashamed of himself. He cried and cried. He had a bad day.
+Jill and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the garden. They saw a flower that was very small and yellow. Jill said, "Let's water the flower. Maybe it will increase and become big and beautiful." Tom said, "OK, let's do that."
+
+They took a bucket and filled it with water. They poured some water on the flower. The flower looked happy. They poured more water on the flower. The flower looked happier. They poured even more water on the flower. The flower looked very happy.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The flower had too much water. It started to droop and wilt. Its petals fell off. Its stem broke. The flower was gone. Jill and Tom were sad. They cried.
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was Jill's mom. She said, "What did you do to my flower? That was my favorite flower. It was a rare and special flower. You ruined it. You are very naughty. You are not my loyal children. Go to your rooms. You are in big trouble."
+
+Jill and Tom felt very sorry. They did not mean to hurt the flower. They wanted to help it. But they did not know how. They ran to their rooms. They wished they could say sorry to the flower and to Jill's mom. But it was too late. The flower was dead. And Jill's mom was very angry. The end.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus. The bus is yellow and shiny. It has many windows and seats.
+
+"Wow, look at the bus!" Sara says. "It is so big and pretty. I want to ride on it."
+
+"Me too," Tom says. "Let's go and see if we can get on the bus."
+
+They run to the bus. They see a man. The man is the driver. He wears a blue hat and a shirt. He smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the driver says. "Do you want to ride on the bus?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Tom say.
+
+"OK, but you need to pay for the ticket," the driver says. "Do you have money?"
+
+Sara and Tom shake their heads. They do not have money. They only have toys and snacks.
+
+"Sorry, then you cannot ride on the bus," the driver says. "The bus is not free. You need to pay for the ticket."
+
+Sara and Tom feel sad. They want to ride on the bus. They look at their toys and snacks. They have an idea.
+
+"Can we give you our toys and snacks for the ticket?" Sara asks.
+
+The driver laughs. He shakes his head. He says, "No, thank you. Your toys and snacks are nice, but they are not money. You need to use money for the ticket. Maybe you can ask your parents for money. Or you can save your money for the bus."
+
+Sara and Tom realize that the driver is right. They cannot ride on the bus without money. They say sorry to the driver. They say thank you to the driver. They walk away from the bus.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn that some things are not free. They learn that they need to work and save for what they want. They decide to do chores and help their parents. They hope to ride on the bus someday.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they wanted more toys to play with.
+
+"Mom, can we have more toys?" Lila asked.
+
+"Sorry, sweetie, we don't have more toys right now. We have to supply food and clothes and other things first. Maybe you can make a wish for more toys on your birthday." Mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben felt frustrated. They did not want to wait for their birthday. They wanted more toys now.
+
+They looked around the room and saw a big box. The box had a label that said "donate". Mom had put some old clothes and books and toys in the box to give to other kids who needed them.
+
+Lila and Ben had an idea. They opened the box and took out some of the toys. They found a teddy bear, a ball, a puzzle, and a train. They were happy. They had more toys to play with.
+
+They started to play with the new toys. They did not notice that Mom came back to the living room. She saw the box was open and some of the toys were missing. She saw Lila and Ben playing with the toys.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "Those toys are not yours. They are for donating. You have to put them back in the box."
+
+Lila and Ben felt sad. They did not want to give back the toys. They liked the toys.
+
+"But Mom, we made a wish for more toys. And we found them in the box. Can we keep them?" Lila asked.
+
+"No, you can't keep them. Those toys belong to other kids who don't have any toys. You have to share. You have enough toys already. You have to be grateful for what you have." Mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They did not want to be selfish. They wanted to be kind.
+
+They put the toys back in the box. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry. They said they would wait for their birthday to make a wish for more toys.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she was proud of them. She said she loved them. She said she would supply them with a big hug and a kiss.
+Tom and Anna were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun.
+
+But then, a big dog came out of nowhere and ran towards them. It was barking loudly and showing its teeth. Tom and Anna were fearful. They did not like the dog. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Help!" Anna cried. "Go away, dog!"
+
+Tom grabbed Anna's hand and looked around. He saw a small house nearby. It had a door and a window. Maybe they could hide there.
+
+"Come on, Anna!" Tom said. "Let's go to the house!"
+
+They ran as fast as they could to the house. They opened the door and went inside. They shut the door behind them. They hoped the dog would not follow them.
+
+They looked around the house. It was dark and dusty. There were some old toys and books on the floor. There was a picture of a family on the wall. They wondered who lived there.
+
+"Hello?" a voice said. "Who are you?"
+
+Tom and Anna jumped. They turned around and saw a boy sitting on a bed. He had curly hair and glasses. He looked surprised and curious.
+
+"Hi," Tom said. "We are Tom and Anna. We were playing in the park. But a big dog chased us. We were scared. So we came here. What is your name?"
+Tom is a boy who likes to go to class. He likes to learn new things and play with his friends. He has a white shirt and a blue hat. He likes to wear his hat every day.
+
+One day, Tom goes to class with his hat. He sits on his chair and listens to his teacher. His teacher tells them about animals. Tom likes animals. He likes to make sounds like animals. He can roar like a lion and quack like a duck.
+
+But Tom's hat is too big for him. It falls over his eyes. He cannot see his teacher. He cannot see his friends. He cannot see the animals. He feels sad. He tries to fix his hat. He pulls it up. He pushes it down. He turns it around. But it still falls over his eyes.
+
+Then he has an idea. He leans his head to the side. He leans it very far. He leans it until his hat stays on his ear. He can see his teacher. He can see his friends. He can see the animals. He feels happy. He smiles and makes sounds like animals. He roars like a lion and quacks like a duck.
+
+His teacher and his friends see him. They see his hat on his ear. They think it is funny. They laugh and clap. They say, "Tom, you are so clever! You found a way to wear your hat and see the animals. You are a good learner and a good player. We like you and your hat."
+
+Tom feels proud. He likes his teacher. He likes his friends. He likes his hat. He likes his class. He leans his head to the side and says, "Thank you. I like you too. And I like animals. Can we learn more about animals?" His teacher nods and says, "Yes, Tom. We can learn more about animals. Let's lean and learn together."
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big vine. The vine is green and long. It hangs from a tall tree.
+
+"Look, a vine!" Tom says. "Let's swing on it!"
+
+"OK!" Lily says. "But be careful. The vine is wet. It rained last night."
+
+Tom and Lily take turns to swing on the vine. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and shout. They have fun.
+
+But then, something bad happens. Tom swings too high. He loses his grip. He falls off the vine. He lands on the ground. He hurts his knee. He cries.
+
+"Oh no, Tom!" Lily says. "Are you OK?"
+
+Lily runs to Tom. She hugs him. She helps him stand up. She sees his knee. It is red and bleeding.
+
+"Your knee is hurt," Lily says. "We need to get a band-aid."
+
+"OK," Tom says. "But can we swing on the vine again later?"
+
+Lily smiles. She nods. She holds Tom's hand. They walk to the bench. They see Tom's mom. She has a band-aid. She cleans Tom's knee. She puts the band-aid on it.
+
+"There, all better," Tom's mom says. "You are brave, Tom."
+
+"Thank you, mom," Tom says. "Can we play some more?"
+
+"Sure, but be careful," Tom's mom says. "And don't swing too high."
+
+"OK, mom," Tom says. "Come on, Lily. Let's swing on the vine again. But not too high."
+
+Tom and Lily run back to the vine. They swing on it. They are careful. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Ben, but she could not see him. She called out, "Ben, where are you?"
+
+Ben was hiding behind a big tree. He was very quiet and still. He did not want Lily to find him. He saw a black cat walking near the tree. The cat had shiny green eyes and a long tail. Ben liked cats, so he reached out his hand to pet the cat.
+
+But the cat did not like Ben. The cat hissed and scratched Ben's hand. Ben cried out, "Ow, ow, ow!" He let go of the cat and ran out from behind the tree. Lily heard Ben's cry and saw him running. She ran after him and caught him. She said, "I found you, Ben! You are the loser!"
+
+Ben showed Lily his hand. It had a red mark and some blood. He said, "The cat hurt me, Lily. It was a mean cat. It was a black cat."
+
+Lily looked at the cat. The cat was still near the tree. It looked at Lily and Ben with its green eyes. Then it disappeared into the dark bushes. Lily said, "Don't worry, Ben. The cat is gone now. It was a scary cat. It was a dark cat."
+Tom and Lily were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to pretend that they were the dolls' parents and take care of them. Tom had a blue doll and Lily had a pink doll.
+
+"Look, my doll is hungry. I will give her some milk," Lily said. She took a bottle from her toy bag and put it in her doll's mouth.
+
+"My doll is hungry too. Give me the bottle," Tom said. He tried to grab the bottle from Lily, but she held it tight.
+
+"No, it's mine. You have to wait your turn," Lily said. She pushed Tom away with her shoulder.
+
+Tom was angry. He did not like to wait. He thought Lily was ignorant. He did not know what that word meant, but he heard his dad say it sometimes. He wanted to change the game. He had an idea.
+
+He ran to the shed and got a bucket of water. He came back and poured the water over Lily and her doll.
+
+"Ha ha, now your doll is wet. How do you like that?" Tom said. He laughed and ran away.
+
+Lily was shocked. She felt cold and wet. She did not like that at all. She started to cry. She hugged her doll and looked for her mom.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, Tom was mean to me. He made me and my doll wet," Lily said. She ran to her mom, who was sitting on a bench.
+
+Her mom saw what happened. She was not happy. She called Tom and scolded him.
+
+"Tom, that was not nice. You should not pour water on your sister and her doll. You should apologize and play nicely," her mom said.
+
+Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He did not like to be scolded. He wanted to change his behavior. He had another idea.
+
+He went to his toy bag and got a towel. He came back and dried Lily and her doll.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Here, take this towel. Can we be friends again?" Tom said.
+
+Lily smiled. She forgave Tom. She liked his gesture. She wanted to change her mood. She had a final idea.
+
+She took the towel and wrapped it around Tom and her. She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I love you. Can we share the bottle?" Lily said.
+
+Tom nodded. He loved Lily too. He was happy. He gave her the bottle.
+
+They played with their dolls again. They were friends again. They learned a lesson. They changed for the better.
+Lily likes to play with her drum. She bangs it with her sticks and makes loud noises. She likes to make her own rhythm. She says, "Boom, boom, boom!"
+
+Her brother Max does not like her drum. He thinks it is too noisy and hard to listen to. He says, "Stop, stop, stop! You are hurting my ears!"
+
+Lily does not stop. She says, "No, no, no! I like my drum. It is fun and easy to play!"
+
+Max gets angry. He takes her drum and throws it away. He says, "Now you can't play your drum. It is gone and broken!"
+
+Lily gets sad. She cries and says, "Why did you do that? You are mean and bad! You broke my drum and my rhythm!"
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken drum and the crying Lily. She says, "What happened here? Who broke the drum?"
+
+Max says, "She did. She was playing it too loud and hard. I told her to stop, but she didn't listen."
+
+Lily says, "He did. He took my drum and threw it away. He didn't like my rhythm. He made me sad."
+
+Mom says, "You both did wrong. You should not play your drum so loud and hard, Lily. You should respect your brother's ears. And you should not take her drum and throw it away, Max. You should respect her things and feelings. You should say sorry to each other and share your toys."
+
+Lily and Max look at each other. They feel sorry for what they did. They say, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" They hug and make up. Mom gives them a new drum and says, "Now you can play your drum together. But please, play it softly and nicely. And find a good rhythm that you both like."
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and pictures on the wall. They also had a big box that they used as a spaceship. They pretended to fly to different planets and stars and see the whole universe.
+
+One day, they decided to go to the fancy planet, where everything was shiny and pretty and sparkly. They put on their hats and scarves and gloves and crawled into the box. They made noises like a rocket and counted down from ten.
+
+"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!" they shouted together and shook the box.
+
+They flew through the air and saw the sun and the moon and the clouds. They saw the earth and the other planets and the stars. They saw the fancy planet, where everything was shiny and pretty and sparkly.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It's so beautiful!"
+
+"Let's go there!" Max said. "Maybe we can find some treasure!"
+
+They landed the box on the fancy planet and opened the door. They crawled out and looked around. They saw flowers and trees and rocks and animals, all shiny and pretty and sparkly.
+
+"Look, a shiny flower!" Lily said and picked one.
+
+"Look, a sparkly rock!" Max said and picked one.
+
+They put their treasures in their pockets and kept looking. They saw a big house, all shiny and pretty and sparkly.
+
+"Maybe there's someone who lives here," Lily said. "Maybe they have more treasure!"
+
+"Let's go and see," Max said. "Maybe they're friendly!"
+
+They crawled to the house and knocked on the door. The door opened and a big, scary, hairy monster came out. It had big teeth and claws and eyes, all shiny and pretty and sparkly.
+
+"Who are you?" the monster roared. "What are you doing on my planet?"
+
+Lily and Max were very afraid. They dropped their treasures and ran back to the box. They crawled inside and closed the door. They made noises like a rocket and counted up from one.
+
+"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, blast off!" they shouted together and shook the box.
+
+They flew away from the fancy planet and the scary monster. They flew back to their room and their toys and books and pictures. They were happy to be home.
+
+"Maybe the fancy planet is not so nice after all," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe we should go to a different planet next time," Max said.
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. They still liked to play in their box and see the whole universe. But they also liked to be safe and cozy in their room.
+Tim was a little boy who liked to wander. He liked to see new things and have fun. One day, he wandered into his neighbor's yard. He saw a big hose on the grass. He wanted to play with it.
+
+He picked up the hose and turned the knob. Water came out of the hose. It was cold and wet. Tim laughed and sprayed the water in the air. He made a big rainbow. He felt happy.
+
+But then he heard a loud voice. It was his neighbor, Mr. Brown. He was angry. He saw Tim with his hose. He ran out of his house and shouted at Tim. "Hey, you! Stop that! That's my hose! You are wasting water and making a mess!"
+
+Tim felt scared and troubled. He dropped the hose and ran away. He did not want to make Mr. Brown mad. He did not know he was doing something bad. He just wanted to play.
+
+He ran back to his own yard and hugged his mom. She saw his wet clothes and his sad face. She asked him what happened. Tim told her everything. She was not mad at him. She said he was sorry and he did not mean to cause trouble. She said Mr. Brown was grumpy and he should not yell at little boys. She said she would talk to him and make him calm down.
+
+She gave Tim a towel and a hug. She said he was a good boy and she loved him. She said he could play with his own hose if he wanted to. But he had to ask first and be careful. Tim nodded and smiled. He learned his lesson. He did not wander into his neighbor's yard again. He played with his own hose and had fun. He made more rainbows and felt happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves and branches. They were curious and wanted to climb the tree.
+
+"Look, there is a twig we can use to reach the branch," Anna said. She picked up the twig and held it in her hand.
+
+"Be careful, Anna, the twig might break," Ben said. He was afraid of falling.
+
+"Don't worry, Ben, I can manage," Anna said. She jumped and tried to hook the twig on the branch. But the twig was too weak and snapped in half. Anna lost her balance and fell to the ground.
+
+"Anna, Anna, are you okay?" Ben shouted. He ran to Anna and saw that she was hurt. She had a big bump on her head and blood on her knee. She was crying and moaning.
+
+"Help, help, someone help us!" Ben screamed. He did not know what to do. He wished they had not climbed the tree. He wished they had listened to their mom and stayed on the swings. He was very sorry and scared.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. Sara likes her doll very much. She hugs it and talks to it. Ben likes his car very much. He makes it zoom and honk.
+
+"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asks Sara.
+
+"No, this is my doll. You have your car," Sara says.
+
+"But I want to play with your doll. It is pretty and soft," Ben says.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She has an idea.
+
+"OK, you can play with my doll. But you have to sell me your car," Sara says.
+
+"Sell you my car? What does that mean?" Ben asks.
+
+"It means you give me your car and I give you something else. Like a doctor," Sara says.
+
+"A doctor? Why do you want a doctor?" Ben asks.
+
+"Because doctors are good. They help people who are sick or hurt. And they have cool tools. Like a stethoscope and a band-aid," Sara says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He likes his car, but he also likes the doll. And he is curious about the doctor.
+
+"OK, I will sell you my car. But you have to give me the doctor and the doll," Ben says.
+
+"Deal!" Sara says. She gives Ben the doll and runs to her room. She comes back with a toy doctor kit. She gives it to Ben.
+
+"Here is your doctor. Now we can play," Sara says.
+
+Ben takes the doctor kit and looks at it. He sees a stethoscope, a band-aid, a syringe, and a flashlight.
+
+"Wow, this is cool. Thank you, Sara," Ben says.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben. Thank you for the car," Sara says.
+
+They start to play with their new toys. Sara makes the car zoom and honk. Ben makes the doll sick and then cures it with the doctor tools. They have fun until it is dark. Then they go to bed with their toys. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They saw a chicken in the corner. The chicken was brown and fluffy. It had a red thing on its head.
+
+"Look, a chicken!" Tom said. "Let's go and say hello."
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't scare it," Lily said.
+
+They walked slowly to the chicken. The chicken looked at them with its small eyes. It made a cluck sound.
+
+"Hello, chicken. What is your name?" Tom asked.
+
+The chicken did not answer. It pecked at the ground. It found a worm and ate it.
+
+"Wow, that is interesting. The chicken likes worms," Lily said.
+
+Tom nodded. He wanted to touch the chicken. He reached out his hand. But he did not see a stone on the ground. He stepped on it and slipped. He fell down with a thud.
+
+"Ouch!" Tom cried. "That hurt!"
+
+The chicken was startled. It flapped its wings and ran away.
+
+"Tom, are you OK?" Lily asked. She ran to him and helped him up.
+
+"I'm OK. Just a little scratch," Tom said. He rubbed his knee. He looked at the chicken. It was hiding behind a bush.
+
+"Sorry, chicken. I did not mean to scare you," Tom said.
+
+The chicken peeked out from the bush. It made a cluck sound again.
+
+"Maybe the chicken is saying sorry too," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe. Or maybe it is saying goodbye," Tom said.
+
+They waved at the chicken and went back to their game. They decided to play something else. They did not want to slip again.
+Sara was a new girl in the playground. She did not know anyone. She saw some kids playing with a big slide and a swing. She wanted to join them, but she was shy.
+
+"Hi, I am Sara. Can I play with you?" she asked a boy who was on the swing.
+
+The boy looked at her and said, "No, you can't. This is our equipment. You are not in our group. Go away."
+
+Sara felt sad and angry. She thought the boy was mean and ignorant. He did not want to share or make friends. She walked away and looked for another place to play.
+
+She saw a girl who was drawing with chalk on the ground. She had many colors and shapes. Sara liked drawing too. She went to the girl and said, "Hi, I am Sara. Can I draw with you?"
+
+The girl smiled and said, "Sure, you can. I am Lily. Here, you can use this chalk. What do you want to draw?"
+
+Sara was happy and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice. I want to draw a flower. What are you drawing?"
+
+Lily said, "I am drawing a rainbow. Do you like rainbows?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, I do. They are pretty and bright. Can I introduce you to my teddy bear? He likes rainbows too."
+
+Lily said, "Of course, you can. I love teddy bears. What is his name?"
+
+Sara said, "His name is Bobo. He is my best friend. Do you have a best friend?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I do. Her name is Sara. She is right here."
+
+Sara and Lily laughed and hugged. They became friends and played together. They shared their equipment and their ideas. They were not ignorant. They were kind and smart.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play hockey in the park. They have sticks and a ball. They hit the ball with the sticks and try to score goals.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is dirty and has long hair. It runs to their ball and picks it up with its mouth. Lily and Ben are scared. They stop playing and gaze at the dog.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouts. "Give it back, dog!"
+
+The dog does not listen. It runs away with the ball. Lily and Ben chase the dog. They want their ball back.
+
+The dog runs to a pond. It drops the ball in the water. It jumps in the pond and splashes. Lily and Ben stop at the edge of the pond. They gaze at the ball. The ball is wet and dirty.
+
+"Oh no, our ball is ruined!" Lily cries. "What can we do?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can find another ball," he says. "Or we can play something else. Do you want to play tag?"
+
+Lily nods. She smiles.
+
+"OK, let's play tag," she says. "You're it!"
+
+Ben laughs. He tags Lily. They run and giggle. They forget about the dog and the ball. They have fun.
+Tom and his dog Spot like to go for walks in the park. Spot is a loyal dog and always follows Tom wherever he goes. Tom likes to lead Spot by holding a rope that is tied to Spot's neck. Tom thinks he is a good leader and Spot is a good follower.
+
+One day, Tom and Spot see a big pond in the park. Tom wants to see the fish and the ducks in the water. He leads Spot to the edge of the pond and points at the animals. "Look, Spot, look! Fish and ducks!" Tom says. Spot looks and wags his tail. He likes fish and ducks too.
+
+But then, Tom slips on a wet rock and falls into the pond. He is scared and cold and wet. He cries for help. "Help, help! I can't swim!" Spot hears Tom and jumps into the pond too. He swims to Tom and grabs the rope with his mouth. He pulls Tom to the shore and licks his face. Tom hugs Spot and says, "Thank you, Spot, thank you! You are a brave and loyal dog. You saved me!" Spot barks and wags his tail. He is happy and proud. He loves Tom and Tom loves him. They are best friends.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They have a big bookcase with many colors.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben are bored. They do not want to play with their toys. They do not want to read their books. They want something new.
+
+They look at the bookcase. They see a shiny book on the top shelf. They want to see the book. They think it is a lovely book.
+
+They push a chair to the bookcase. They climb on the chair. They reach for the book. But the chair is wobbly. The bookcase is heavy. The bookcase falls down. The books fall down. The chair falls down. Lily and Ben fall down.
+
+They are scared. They are hurt. They cry. Mom and Dad hear them. They run to the room. They see the mess. They see Lily and Ben.
+
+Mom and Dad hug Lily and Ben. They check if they are okay. They are not badly hurt. But they have some bruises and scratches. Mom and Dad are angry. They are sad.
+
+They say to Lily and Ben: "Why did you do that? You could have been hurt more. You could have broken the bookcase. You could have ruined the books. You should not climb on the bookcase. You should ask us for help. You should be careful. You should be respectful."
+
+Lily and Ben are sorry. They say to Mom and Dad: "We are sorry. We were bored. We wanted to see the book. We thought it was a lovely book. We did not think. We did not ask. We did not care. We were wrong."
+
+Mom and Dad say to Lily and Ben: "We forgive you. We love you. But you have to learn. You have to think. You have to ask. You have to care. You have to be right. You have to enjoy what you have. You have many toys and books. You have a big bookcase. You have each other. You have us. You are lucky. You are blessed."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They hug Mom and Dad. They say: "We love you. We will learn. We will think. We will ask. We will care. We will be right. We will enjoy what we have. We are lucky. We are blessed."
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They help Lily and Ben clean up the mess. They put the books back on the bookcase. They put the chair back. They find the shiny book. They give it to Lily and Ben. They say: "This is a lovely book. It is a gift for you. It is a story about twins who learn to share and care. You can read it together. You can enjoy it together."
+
+Lily and Ben say: "Thank you. This is a lovely book. It is a gift for us. It is a story about us. We will read it together. We will enjoy it together."
+
+They sit on the bed. They open the book. They read the story. They smile. They hug. They enjoy.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily has a doll that can talk when you press a button. Ben has a car that can move when you pull it back.
+
+"Look, my doll can say hello!" Lily says, pressing the button. The doll says, "Hello, I'm Amy. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Ben says. "Can she say anything else?"
+
+Lily presses the button again. The doll says, "What is your name?"
+
+Ben smiles and says, "My name is Ben. What is your name?"
+
+Lily laughs and says, "You silly, she just told you. Her name is Amy."
+
+Ben says, "Oh, right. I forgot. Can I ask her a question?"
+
+Lily says, "Sure, go ahead."
+
+Ben thinks for a moment and then says, "How old are you, Amy?"
+
+Lily presses the button, but the doll does not answer. She presses it again and again, but nothing happens.
+
+"Oh no, what's wrong with her?" Lily says, worried.
+
+Ben looks at the doll and says, "Maybe her battery is old. Old things don't work well sometimes. They are hard to fix."
+
+Lily says, "But I love Amy. She is my favorite toy. I don't want her to be old and hard to fix."
+
+Ben says, "Don't be sad, Lily. Maybe we can find a new battery for her. Or maybe we can ask mom or dad to help us. They know how to fix things."
+
+Lily says, "Okay, let's do that. Maybe Amy can answer again soon."
+
+Ben says, "Yeah, maybe. Come on, let's go find mom or dad."
+
+They hold hands and walk to the kitchen, where mom and dad are making lunch. They hope they can make Amy talk again. They love their toys and their friends.

+One day, Tom has a big case. He has to go to court and talk to the judge. He tells Ben he will be back soon and gives him a hug. Ben is sad. He wants to play with his dad.
+
+Ben goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big slide. He wants to try it. He climbs up the ladder and sits on the top. He looks down. The slide is very high and steep. He is scared.
+
+"Are you okay?" a voice asks. Ben turns around. He sees a girl with curly hair and a mild smile. She is holding a teddy bear. "My name is Lily. Do you want to slide with me?"
+
+Ben nods. He holds Lily's hand and her teddy bear. They slide down together. Ben feels happy. He laughs. Lily laughs too. They land on the soft grass.

+
+"Hi, dad!" Ben says. He runs to Tom and gives him a hug. "This is Lily. She saved me from the scary slide. She is my new friend."
+
+"Hi, Lily," Tom says. He smiles and shakes her hand. "Thank you for saving my son. You are a wonderful girl."
+
+Lily smiles back. She gives Tom her teddy bear. "This is for you. You are a good lawyer. You help people too."

+Tom is touched. He takes the teddy bear and hugs Lily. He thanks her again. He looks at Ben and his mom. He feels happy. He learns a lesson. He decides to work less and play more with his son. He realizes that saving people is not only his job, but also his joy.
+Lily and Ben like to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places in their car. Sometimes they see big mountains, sometimes they see green fields, sometimes they see blue water.
+
+One day, they travel to a new place. They see a big bridge over a river. Mom says they can walk on the bridge and see the water. Lily and Ben are happy. They get out of the car and hold mom and dad's hands.
+
+They walk on the bridge and look down. They see the river. It is very wet and shiny. They see fish and ducks and boats. They hear the water make noise. They feel the wind blow their hair.
+
+Lily and Ben like the bridge. They say it is fun and pretty. They want to stay longer. But mom and dad say they have to go. They have to travel to another place. They say they will come back to the bridge another day.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They say bye to the bridge and the river. They get back in the car and buckle up. They travel to another place. They wonder what they will see next. They hope they will see another bridge.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. But today, the sky is gray and the wind is cold. They do not want to play outside.
+
+"Let's go to my house," Lily says. "We can play with my toys."
+
+"OK," Tom says. "But what if it rains?"
+
+They walk to Lily's house. On the way, they see a big cloud. It is dark and angry.
+
+"Look at that cloud," Lily says. "It is going to rain soon."
+
+"Maybe not," Tom says. "Maybe it will go away."
+
+They discuss the weather. They use words like sun, rain, cloud, wind, and storm. They wonder what will happen next.
+
+They reach Lily's house. Lily's mom is there. She smiles and gives them cookies.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Tom," she says. "How are you today?"
+
+"We are good," Lily says. "But the weather is not fair. It is gray and cold. We want to play outside."
+
+"I know," Lily's mom says. "But sometimes the weather is like that. We have to be patient and wait for the sun to come back."
+
+She hugs them and tells them a story. The story is about a rainbow. The rainbow comes after the rain. It has many colors and makes people happy.
+
+Lily and Tom listen to the story. They like the story. They hope to see a rainbow soon.
+
+They forget about the weather. They play with Lily's toys. They have fun. They are happy.
+Sam and Mia love to play soccer. They have a big ball and two goals in their backyard. Sometimes they pretend they are in a stadium with many people watching them. They cheer and clap when they score a goal.
+
+One day, a man came to their house. He had a big truck with many boxes. He knocked on the door and talked to their mom. He said he wanted to sell some books and toys. He asked if Sam and Mia wanted to see them.
+
+Sam and Mia ran to the truck. They saw many colorful books and toys. They liked them very much. They asked their mom if they could have some. Their mom said they could choose one thing each, but they had to pay with their own money.
+
+Sam and Mia looked at their piggy banks. They had some coins, but not enough for everything they wanted. They had an idea. They decided to sell tickets to their soccer game. They made some signs and put them on the fence. They said: "Come and watch Sam and Mia play soccer in the stadium. Only one coin per ticket. Very friendly players."
+
+Soon, some of their friends and neighbors came. They gave Sam and Mia a coin and got a ticket. They sat on the grass and watched the game. They cheered and clapped for both teams. Sam and Mia had a lot of fun. They scored many goals and shared the ball.
+
+After the game, Sam and Mia thanked their fans. They counted their coins. They had enough to buy the books and toys they wanted. They ran to the truck and gave the man their money. He gave them their books and toys. He said they were very smart and good at soccer. He said he hoped to see them again.
+
+Sam and Mia hugged their mom and their books and toys. They were very happy. They said they had the best day ever. They said they loved soccer and their stadium. They said they loved their fans and their new friend. They said they loved to sell tickets and to play.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom was making a cake and asked them to stir the batter. Lily and Tom took turns to hold the big spoon and stir the batter in the bowl. They had fun watching the batter change color and smell sweet.
+
+"Can we lick the spoon, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but only after you finish stirring, okay?" mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and stirred some more. They were excited to taste the cake later.
+
+Just then, dad came home from work. He had a big smile on his face and a paper in his hand.
+
+"Guess what, kids? I have some news for you!" he said.
+
+"What is it, dad?" Tom asked.
+
+Dad showed them the paper. It had a picture of a plane and some words.
+
+"We are going on a trip, kids! We are going to fly to the beach and stay there for a week!" he said.
+
+Lily and Tom gasped. They had never been on a plane or seen the beach before. They were very happy and hugged dad.
+
+"Wow, dad! That's awesome!" Lily said.
+
+"Can we make sand castles and swim in the water?" Tom asked.
+
+"Of course, you can! It will be a lot of fun!" dad said.
+
+Mom joined them and hugged dad. She was happy too.
+
+"I'm so proud of you, honey. You worked hard and got a bonus at your job. That's how we can afford this trip," she said.
+
+"Thank you, dear. You are the best mom and wife. I love you," dad said.
+
+They all smiled and hugged each other. They were a happy family.
+
+The next day, Lily and Tom told their friends at school about their trip. Their friends were amazed and envious. They wished they could go to the beach too.
+
+"Wow, Lily and Tom, you are so lucky!" Anna said.
+
+"I wish I could fly on a plane too!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe you can come with us next time," Lily said.
+
+"Yeah, that would be cool," Tom said.
+
+They shared their cake with their friends. The cake was delicious and everyone liked it.
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They had a good mom and dad, good friends, and a good trip to look forward to. They couldn't wait to see the beach and have fun. They thanked mom and dad for their news and their cake. They were the best.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box of seeds. They wanted to grow flowers and trees and fruits. They dug holes in the dirt and put the seeds in. Then they watered them with a hose.
+
+"Look, Ben, this seed is growing!" Lily said. She pointed to a tiny green sprout. "It is amazing!"
+
+Ben looked at his seeds. They were still brown and small. He felt sad. He wanted his seeds to grow too. He watered them more and more. He hoped they would grow in a minute.
+
+"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lily shouted. "You are giving them too much water. They will drown!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He thought Lily was wrong. He thought more water would make his seeds grow faster. He watered them until the dirt became mud. He watered them until the hose ran out of water.
+
+Then he looked at his seeds. They were not growing. They were gone. The water had washed them away. Ben started to cry. He had no seeds left.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She saw that he was sad. She had an idea. She took some of her seeds and gave them to Ben.
+
+"Here, Ben, you can have some of my seeds. We can share. We can grow them together. They will be amazing!"
+
+Ben smiled. He thanked Lily. He took the seeds and planted them in a new hole. He watered them a little bit. He hoped they would grow soon.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged. They were happy. They were friends. They waited for their seeds to grow. They knew they would be amazing.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play games. Sometimes they play nice, sometimes they play mean. They are very competitive.
+
+One day, they play hide and seek. Anna is the seeker, Ben is the hider. Anna counts to ten. "Ready or not, here I come!" she says. She looks for Ben in the house. She does not find him. She looks for Ben in the yard. She does not find him. She looks for Ben in the street. She does not find him. She starts to worry. Where is Ben?
+
+She hears a noise. It comes from the big tree. She sees a branch move. She runs to the tree. She sees Ben's foot. She pulls it. Ben falls down. He cries. "Ouch! That hurts!" he says. Anna says, "I found you! I win!" Ben says, "No, you cheated! You pulled my foot!" They start to argue.
+
+A car comes. It is their mom. She sees them on the ground. She hurries to them. She is angry. "What are you doing in the street? It is dangerous!" she says. She picks them up. She takes them to the house. She says, "You are in trouble. You have to stay in your room. No more games today." Anna and Ben are sad. They say, "Sorry, mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you, but you have to be careful. And you have to be nice to each other. You are twins. You are welcome in this family. You do not have to compete all the time." Anna and Ben hug mom. They hug each other. They say, "We love you, mom. We love each other. We will play nice next time." Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. Now go to your room and rest." Anna and Ben go to their room. They are still sad, but they are also happy. They have learned a lesson.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two coal eyes.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Jen says.
+
+"Yes, he is. But we need to hurry. It is getting dark and cold." Tom says.
+
+They run to their house. They take off their boots and coats. They forget their gloves on the snowman's hands.
+
+A bald man walks by. He sees the snowman. He is mean and greedy. He likes the hat and the scarf. He takes them from the snowman. He sees the gloves. He takes them too.
+
+"Ha ha, what a silly snowman. He has no hat, no scarf, no gloves. He will melt soon." The bald man says.
+
+He walks away with his new things. He does not care about Tom and Jen.
+
+The next day, Tom and Jen go to see their snowman. They are sad. Their snowman has no hat, no scarf, no gloves. He has no nose and no eyes. He is small and wet.
+
+"Who did this to our snowman?" Jen cries.
+
+"I don't know. But we will never see him again." Tom says.
+
+They hug each other. They wish they did not forget their gloves. They wish they did not hurry. They wish they did not make a snowman.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoom and honk and crash their cars.
+
+One day, Sara finds a new car in her toy box. It is black and shiny and has four big spikes on its wheels. Sara thinks it is cool and scary. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look at my new car! It has spikes! It can break anything!"
+
+Ben is curious and wants to try it. He asks Sara, "Can I play with your spike car? Please?" Sara says, "OK, but be careful. It is very strong and sharp. Do not break my other cars or the blocks."
+
+Ben takes the spike car and starts to drive it on the road. He likes how it makes noise and cuts through the blocks. He says, "Wow, this car is awesome! It can break everything!" He drives faster and faster, and does not see where he is going.
+
+Sara is alert and watches Ben. She sees that he is heading towards her favorite pink car. She shouts, "Ben, stop! You will break my pink car! It is very pretty and I love it!" But Ben does not hear her. He crashes into the pink car and breaks it. The spikes make a big hole in the pink car. Sara is very sad and angry. She cries, "Ben, you broke my pink car! You are very bad! Give me back my spike car!"
+
+Ben is sorry and scared. He did not mean to break Sara's pink car. He says, "I am sorry, Sara. I did not see your pink car. I was having fun with your spike car. It is very cool and scary. Here, take it back. I do not want it anymore."
+
+Sara takes back her spike car and hugs her broken pink car. She says, "Thank you, Ben. But you have to be more careful. You cannot break other people's things. It is not nice. Do you understand?" Ben nods and says, "I understand, Sara. I am sorry. Can we still be friends?" Sara smiles and says, "Yes, we can still be friends. But next time, let's play with something else. Maybe we can draw or read or sing." Ben agrees and says, "OK, let's do that. I like to draw and read and sing." They put away their cars and blocks and books and go to find some paper and crayons and books and songs. They are happy and forget about the spike car and the broken pink car.
+Lily and Ben like to act. They play with their toys and pretend to be different things. One day, they act like they are farmers. They have a big plant that they water and talk to.
+
+"Hello, plant. You are so big and green. We will take good care of you," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, plant. You are our friend. We will give you sun and food," Ben says.
+
+But then, a bad bug comes. The bug is hungry and wants to eat the plant. It crawls on the plant and bites the leaves.
+
+"Hey, bug. Stop that. You are bad. You are hurting our plant," Lily says.
+
+"Go away, bug. You are not welcome here. You are making our plant sad," Ben says.
+
+They try to shoo the bug away, but the bug does not listen. It keeps eating the plant. Lily and Ben are angry and scared. They do not want to lose their plant.
+
+They run to their mom and tell her what is happening. Mom listens and nods. She has an idea.
+
+"Come with me, kids. I have something that will help," she says.
+
+She takes them to the kitchen and gives them a spray bottle. She fills it with water and a little bit of soap.
+
+"This is a special spray. It will make the bug go away. But you have to be careful. Do not spray it on your eyes or mouth. And do not spray it on the plant too much. Just a little bit," she says.
+
+She shows them how to use the spray bottle. Then, she lets them go back to their plant. Lily and Ben are happy and brave. They act like they are heroes. They spray the bug with the special spray. The bug does not like it. It feels icky and wet. It stops eating the plant and runs away.
+
+"Yay, we did it. We saved our plant," Lily says.
+
+"Good job, kids. You are very smart and kind. I am proud of you," Mom says.
+
+She hugs them and smiles. She helps them clean the spray bottle and put it away. Then, she gives them a snack and a kiss. Lily and Ben are happy. They love their mom and their plant. They act like they are farmers again. They water and talk to their plant. They hope the bug will not come back. They hope their plant will grow more and more.
+Lily liked to visit the zoo with her mom. She loved to see the animals and learn their names. Her favorite animal was the parrot. The parrot had bright colors and could talk.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new parrot at the zoo. It was green and blue and had a red beak. Lily wanted to talk to it. She went close to the cage and said hello.
+
+"Hello, hello, hello!" the parrot said back.
+
+Lily was happy. She asked the parrot, "What is your name?"
+
+"Name, name, name!" the parrot said.
+
+Lily tried again. She asked, "Where are you from?"
+
+"From, from, from!" the parrot said.
+
+Lily was confused. She asked, "Do you like the zoo?"
+
+"Zoo, zoo, zoo!" the parrot said.
+
+Lily was frustrated. She asked, "Can you say anything else?"
+
+"Else, else, else!" the parrot said.
+
+Lily was annoyed. She said, "You are a silly parrot. You only repeat what I say."
+
+"Say, say, say!" the parrot said.
+
+Lily gave up. She said, "Bye, parrot. I'm going to see the lions."
+
+"Lions, lions, lions!" the parrot said.
+
+Lily walked away. The parrot was persistent. It kept saying, "Lily, Lily, Lily!"
+
+Lily ignored it. She thought, "Maybe next time I'll find a parrot that can answer my questions."
+It was a cold night and Anna wanted to see the reindeer. She put on her coat and boots and went outside. She saw many stars in the sky and some snow on the ground. She walked to the barn where the reindeer were.
+
+She opened the door and saw four reindeer. They had big horns and soft fur. They looked at her with their black eyes. One of them was bigger than the others and had a red nose. He was the leader of the reindeer. He was also very bossy.
+
+"Who are you?" he asked Anna. "What are you doing here?"
+
+"I am Anna," she said. "I live in the house. I want to see the reindeer. You are very pretty."
+
+The bossy reindeer snorted. "We are not pretty. We are strong and fast. We help Santa to fly his sleigh. We are very busy. You should not be here. Go away."
+
+Anna felt sad. She did not want to go away. She wanted to be friends with the reindeer. She saw a small reindeer in the corner. He was shy and quiet. He had a brown nose and a gentle face. He looked at Anna with a smile.
+
+"Hi," he said. "I am Rudy. I like you. You can stay with me. Do you want to lie down with me? It is warm and cozy here."
+
+Anna nodded. She liked Rudy. He was nice and kind. She went to him and lay down next to him. He nuzzled her with his nose. She hugged him with her arms. They felt happy and safe. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. The bossy reindeer watched them and felt a little jealous. He wished he had a friend like Anna.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they find a big box in the park. It has a picture of a robot on it.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. "It is a robot. It can zip and zap and talk and think. It has a mighty brain."
+
+"I want to play with it!" Sam says. "Let me see it."
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I saw it first. You can play with something else."
+
+Ben and Sam start to fight. They pull and push and shout. The box falls down and breaks. The robot falls out. It is not a real robot. It is a toy. It is broken. It does not zip or zap or talk or think. It has no brain.
+
+Ben and Sam feel sad. They look at the broken toy. They look at each other.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben," Sam says. "I should have asked you nicely. Can we share the toy?"
+
+"I am sorry, Sam," Ben says. "I should have let you see it. Can we fix the toy?"
+
+Ben and Sam hug. They are friends again. They try to fix the toy. They use tape and glue and string. They make the toy look like a robot again. It does not zip or zap or talk or think. But it has a smile.
+
+Ben and Sam play with the toy. They have fun. They learn to share and be kind. They have mighty brains.
+Tommy was playing with his cars on the floor when he heard a loud noise. He looked up and saw his baby sister Lily crying in her crib. She had a red nose and a wet face. Tommy ran to her and tried to make her stop crying.
+
+"Shh, Lily, it's okay. Don't cry. I will help you," he said. He took a soft cloth from the drawer and wiped her nose and face gently. "There, you are clean now. Do you feel better?"
+
+Lily sniffled and nodded. She reached for Tommy's car and smiled. Tommy smiled back and gave her the car. He liked to share with his sister. He hugged her and said, "You are a good sister. I love you."
+
+But Lily still looked sick. She had a hot forehead and a cough. Tommy was worried. He remembered that when he was sick, his mom took him to the doctor. The doctor was a nice man who checked his ears and throat and gave him a sticker. Tommy thought that maybe Lily needed to see the doctor too.
+
+He ran to his mom, who was in the kitchen, and said, "Mom, Lily is sick. She needs to see the doctor. Can we go now?"
+
+Mom looked at Tommy and Lily and nodded. She said, "You are a good brother, Tommy. You are right, Lily needs to see the doctor. Let's go now. Grab your coat and shoes."
+
+Tommy did as he was told. He put on his coat and shoes and helped his mom carry Lily to the car. He hoped that the doctor would make Lily feel better. He also hoped that the doctor would give him a cool sticker. He liked stickers.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many sheep in the field. The sheep are white and soft.
+
+"Look, Tom, the sheep are so cute!" Sam says.
+
+"Yes, they are. Do you want to part them?" Tom asks.
+
+"What does part mean?" Sam says.
+
+"Part means to make two groups. Like this." Tom shows Sam how to use a stick to move some sheep to one side and some sheep to the other side.
+
+"Oh, I see. That looks easy. Can I try?" Sam says.
+
+"Sure, you can. Here, take the stick." Tom gives Sam the stick.
+
+Sam tries to part the sheep. He moves the stick left and right. But the sheep do not listen. They run away from Sam. They make loud noises. Baa, baa, baa.
+
+"Hey, stop, sheep! Come back!" Sam says.
+
+But the sheep do not stop. They run to the fence. They jump over the fence. They run to the road.
+
+"Oh no, Tom, the sheep are gone!" Sam says.
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They do not know what to do. They see a big truck coming on the road. The truck is fast and loud. Honk, honk, honk.
+
+"Watch out, sheep!" Tom and Sam shout.
+
+But the sheep do not watch out. They are in the way of the truck. The truck cannot stop. The truck hits the sheep. The sheep fly in the air. They land on the ground. They do not move. They do not make noises.
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They cry. They hug each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I did not mean to part the sheep." Sam says.
+
+"It's okay, Sam. It was not your fault. The sheep were silly. They did not listen." Tom says.
+
+They hear a voice. It is the farmer. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, you two! What have you done to my sheep? You have to pay for them!" The farmer says.
+
+Tom and Sam are afraid. They run away from the farm. They do not play there again. They learn a lesson. Parting sheep is not easy. It is hard and dangerous.
+Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was red and white and looked like a hat.
+
+"Let's go and see the mushroom," Mia said. "Maybe we can find some fairies."
+
+"Okay," Leo said. He was Mia's brother and he was dependable. He always followed her and helped her.
+
+They ran to the mushroom and touched it. It was soft and wet. They heard a voice from inside.
+
+"Who are you?" the voice said. "Why are you touching my house?"
+
+Mia and Leo were surprised. They looked under the mushroom and saw a tiny person. He had wings and a green hat.
+
+"We are sorry," Mia said. "We didn't know you lived here. We are Mia and Leo. We are children."
+
+"I am Finn," the tiny person said. "I am a fairy. You are very big. How did you get so big?"
+
+"We are not big," Leo said. "You are small. How did you get so small?"
+
+"I ate a magic berry," Finn said. "It made me shrink. It was fun at first, but now I miss my friends. They are all big like you."
+
+"Can you grow back?" Mia asked.
+
+"Yes, but I need another magic berry," Finn said. "They are very rare. They grow on the other side of the garden, near the pond. But I can't go there. It is too far and too dangerous for me."
+
+Mia and Leo felt sorry for Finn. They wanted to help him.
+
+"We can help you," Mia said. "We can go and find a magic berry for you. We are fast and strong. We can protect you."
+
+"Really?" Finn said. "That would be very kind of you. Thank you."
+
+Mia and Leo smiled. They picked up Finn and put him in Mia's pocket. They ran to the other side of the garden, looking for a magic berry. They hoped they would find one soon and make Finn happy.
+Lily and Max are playing a game. They have to find things that are open in the house. Lily looks at the door. It is open. She runs to the door and says, "I found one! I found one!"
+
+Max looks at the window. It is open too. He runs to the window and says, "Me too! Me too!"
+
+They keep looking for more things that are open. They find the fridge, the book, the jar, and the box. They are happy and laugh.
+
+But then they see the cookie jar. It is open too. And it has cookies inside. They look at each other and smile. They run to the cookie jar and grab some cookies.
+
+They eat the cookies and say, "Yum! Yum! This is the best thing that is open!"
+
+They feel like they have a victory. They have found many things that are open and they have eaten some cookies. They hug each other and say, "We are good at this game! We are the winners!"
+Tim was a little sheep who liked to play with his friends in the field. He had a lot of wool on his body, and it was soft and warm. He was proud of his wool, and he liked to show it off to the other animals.
+
+One day, a man came to the field with a big pair of scissors. He wanted to cut the wool from the sheep and take it away. Tim was scared of the man and the scissors, and he ran away. He hid behind a bush and hoped the man would not find him.
+
+But the man saw Tim and came after him. He grabbed Tim by the legs and lifted him up. He used the scissors to cut off all of Tim's wool. It hurt a little, and Tim felt cold and naked. He cried and cried, and he wanted his wool back.
+
+The man put Tim down and went away with his wool. Tim looked at himself and saw that he was bald. He had no wool left on his body. He felt sad and ashamed. He did not want to see his friends or the other animals. He thought they would laugh at him and call him names.
+
+He ran to his mother, who was also bald. She had lost her wool too. She saw Tim and hugged him. She said, "Don't worry, my son. It's OK to be bald. Your wool will grow back soon. You are still my beautiful and brave sheep. I love you no matter what. You remind me of myself when I was your age. I also lost my wool, but it did not change who I was. I was still smart and kind and strong. And so are you."
+
+Tim felt a little better. He looked at his mother and smiled. He said, "Thank you, mama. I love you too. You remind me of me. We are both bald, but we are also both smart and kind and strong. And we have each other."
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big white thing in the ground. It looked like a flower, but it was not pretty or colorful.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's dig it out and see," Ben said.
+
+They took their shovels and started to dig around the white thing. They pulled it out and saw that it had many small parts that looked like trees.
+
+"It's a cauliflower!" Lily said. "Mommy sometimes cooks it for dinner."
+
+"Can we eat it?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't think so. It's dirty and it might have bugs," Lily said.
+
+She pointed to a black spot on the cauliflower. "Look, there's a bug. And there's another one. And another one. Eww!"
+
+Ben made a face. "That's gross. Let's throw it away."
+
+He tossed the cauliflower over the fence, but it hit a branch and broke into pieces. Some of the pieces fell on the other side, and some fell back into the garden.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "You broke it! Now we made a mess. And we wasted food. Mommy will be mad at us."
+
+Ben felt sorry. "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break it. I just wanted to get rid of it."
+
+They heard Mommy calling them from the house. "Lily! Ben! Come inside. It's time for lunch."
+
+They ran to the house, hoping Mommy wouldn't see the cauliflower. But Mommy saw it and asked them what happened.
+
+They told her the truth. They said they found the cauliflower in the garden and they didn't like it and they threw it away and they broke it.
+
+Mommy was not happy. She said, "That was not a nice thing to do. That cauliflower was growing in our garden. It was a gift from nature. You should respect it and appreciate it. You should not waste food or make a mess. You should be thankful for what you have and share it with others. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They helped Mommy clean up the garden and put the cauliflower in the compost. They said they would try the cauliflower next time Mommy cooked it. They hugged Mommy and said they loved her.
+
+Mommy smiled and said she loved them too. She said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now let's go have some lunch. I made you some soup and sandwiches. And guess what? I have a surprise for you. I have some strawberries for dessert. They are sweet and juicy and red. Do you like strawberries?"
+
+Lily and Ben cheered. They said they loved strawberries. They thanked Mommy and followed her to the kitchen. They ate their lunch and enjoyed their dessert. They were happy and full. They learned that food is precious and delicious and that they should be grateful and kind.

+
+She walks in the garden and looks for the best flowers. She sees a big rose. It is red and soft. It looks like velvet. She wants to pick it, but it has thorns. They are sharp and can hurt her. She is careful and uses her fingers to break the stem. She puts the rose in her basket.
+
+She sees a daisy. It is yellow and white. It has many petals. It looks like a sun. She wants to pick it, but it has a bee. The bee is black and yellow. It can sting her. She is quiet and waits for the bee to fly away. She picks the daisy and puts it in her basket.

+Tim and Jen were having lunch with Mom and Dad. They liked to eat sandwiches and fruit. Tim wanted to speak to Jen, but she was busy playing with her napkin. She made it into a hat, a boat, and a flower. Tim tried to get her attention, but she did not listen.
+
+"Jen, speak to me!" Tim said. "I want to tell you something."
+
+"Not now, Tim," Jen said. "I am having fun with my napkin."
+
+Tim felt frustrated. He wanted to share his story with Jen. He had seen a big dog in the park, and it had barked at him. He was scared, but he had run away. He thought Jen would like to hear that.
+
+"Jen, please speak to me!" Tim said louder. "I have a good story."
+
+"Tim, be quiet!" Jen said. "You are annoying me."
+
+Tim got angry. He grabbed Jen's napkin and tore it into pieces. Jen cried and screamed. Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to the table.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Tim ruined my napkin!" Jen said.
+
+"Tim, why did you do that?" Dad asked.
+
+"Jen would not speak to me!" Tim said.
+
+Mom and Dad were not happy. They scolded Tim and Jen for fighting and being rude. They took away their sandwiches and fruit. They sent them to their rooms without dessert.
+
+Tim and Jen felt sad and sorry. They had no lunch, no napkin, and no story. They had a bad ending.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the jungle. They liked to see the animals and the plants and to hear the sounds. One day, they saw a big cave and wanted to explore it.
+
+"Let's go inside and see what is there," Tom said.
+
+"No, it is too dark and scary," Mia said. "We should listen to Mom and stay away from the cave."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Mia. He was curious and brave. He ran into the cave and shouted, "Come on, Mia, don't be afraid!"
+
+Mia did not want to lose Tom, so she followed him. But as soon as they entered the cave, they heard a loud roar. It was a lion who lived in the cave. He was angry that someone had disturbed his sleep.
+
+"Run, Mia, run!" Tom cried.
+
+They turned around and ran as fast as they could. The lion chased them, but they were lucky. They reached the entrance of the cave and ran out. The lion did not follow them. He was too big to fit through the hole.
+
+Tom and Mia were safe, but they were also scared and sorry. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry, Mom. We should have listened to you. We will never go into the cave again."
+
+They learned their lesson and never played near the cave again. They still enjoyed the jungle, but they were more careful and respectful of the animals. They also listened to their Mom and each other more. They were happy and wise friends.
+Lily and Ben are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the zoo. Lily and Ben are eager to see the animals. They look out the window and see many things.

+They see a big billboard with a picture of a lion. The lion has a big mane and sharp teeth. Lily and Ben roar like lions. Mom and Dad laugh.
+
+They see a yellow bus with many kids. The kids are going to school. Lily and Ben wave to the kids. Some of the kids wave back. Lily and Ben smile.

+
+One day, Sara goes to the market with her mom. She sees many colorful fruits and vegetables. She sees red apples, yellow bananas, green cucumbers, and purple grapes. She wants to try them all. She asks her mom, "Can I have some?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can have some. But not too much. You have to save some room for lunch. We are going to have avocado sandwiches."
+
+Sara is happy. She picks some fruits and vegetables and puts them in a basket. She also picks a big avocado. She says, "This is for our sandwiches. I love avocado."

+
+Sara smiles and says, "I like to try new things. But I like avocado the best. It is my favorite."
+Lily was a nervous girl. She did not like to talk to new people or try new things. She liked to stay at home with her mom and dad and play with her toys. She had a big teddy bear that she hugged when she felt scared.
+
+One day, her mom and dad told her that they had to send her to a new school. They said it was a good place where she could learn and make friends. But Lily did not want to go. She cried and said, "No, no, no! I want to stay with you!"
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "We know you are nervous, but you are a brave and smart girl. You can do this. We will always love you and be here for you. And you can take your teddy bear with you. He will help you feel safe."

+
+Lily entered the school and saw many kids and teachers. She felt nervous again and clutched her teddy bear. She looked for her classroom and found it. She saw a sign that said, "Welcome, Lily!" She smiled a little and walked in.
+
+She saw a nice lady who said, "Hello, Lily. I am Mrs. Lee, your teacher. I am happy to meet you. You can sit here, next to Amy." She pointed to a girl with curly hair and a big smile. Amy waved at Lily and said, "Hi, Lily. I like your teddy bear. Can I see him?"
+
+Lily hesitated, but then she remembered what her mom and dad said. She was a brave and smart girl. She could make friends. She said, "Hi, Amy. Thank you. His name is Teddy. You can hold him if you want."
+
+Amy smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. He is very soft and cute. My name is Amy. Do you want to play with me at recess?"
+
+Lily smiled back and said, "Yes, I do. You are very nice, Amy."

+Lila and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a vendor with a big cart of ice cream. They ran to the vendor and asked for ice cream.
+
+"Can we have ice cream, please?" Lila said.
+
+"Sure, what flavor do you want?" the vendor said.
+
+"I want chocolate," Ben said.
+
+"I want strawberry," Lila said.
+
+The vendor gave them ice cream cones and took their money. They thanked the vendor and licked their ice cream.
+
+They walked to a bench and sat down. They enjoyed their ice cream and watched the birds and the flowers. They saw a big slide and a swing set. They wanted to play on them.
+
+"Mom, can we play on the slide and the swing?" Ben said.
+
+"Okay, but finish your ice cream first and don't go too far," mom said.
+
+They nodded and ate their ice cream faster. They threw their cones in the trash and ran to the slide and the swing. They had fun sliding and swinging. They laughed and shouted.
+
+But then, the sky became dark. They heard thunder and saw lightning. They felt raindrops on their heads. They got scared and wet.
+
+"Mom, mom, where are you?" Lila said.
+
+They looked around and saw mom waving at them. She had an umbrella and a bag.
+
+"Come on, kids, let's go home. It's raining too hard," mom said.
+
+They ran to mom and hugged her. She opened the umbrella and covered them. She gave them towels and dry clothes from the bag.
+
+"Thank you, mom. You are the best," Ben said.
+
+"Yes, thank you, mom. You are so smart," Lila said.
+
+They walked to the car and got in. Mom drove them home. They returned to their warm and cozy house. They changed their clothes and drank hot chocolate. They cuddled with mom and told her about their day.
+
+They were happy and safe. They loved their mom. They loved their ice cream. They loved the park. But they did not love the rain.
+Anna and Ben liked to play on the farm. They liked to see the cows, the pigs, the chickens and the horse. But they did not like the mule. The mule was big and mean. He had long ears and a long face. He made loud noises and kicked with his legs.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben wanted to go to the pond. They asked their mom if they could go. Their mom said yes, but she told them to be careful. She said, "Do not go near the mule. He is terrible. He can hurt you." Anna and Ben said okay. They did not want to go near the mule.
+
+They walked to the pond. They saw the ducks, the frogs, the fish and the flowers. They had fun. They threw stones, they picked berries, they sang songs. They forgot about the mule.
+
+But the mule did not forget about them. He saw them from his field. He was angry. He did not like children. He wanted to scare them. He ran to the fence. He jumped over the fence. He ran to the pond.
+
+Anna and Ben heard the mule. They turned around. They saw the mule. He was very close. He was very fast. He was very angry. They were very scared. They tried to run away. But it was too late. The mule caught them. He bit them. He kicked them. He hurt them.
+
+Their mom heard their screams. She ran to the pond. She saw the mule. She saw Anna and Ben. They were on the ground. They were not moving. They were not breathing. She was very sad. She cried. She wished she had not mentioned the mule. She wished the mule had not hurt her children. She wished she had a different story.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play chess. Chess is a game with black and white pieces. You move the pieces on a board with squares. You try to catch the other player's king.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily are playing chess in the park. They are having fun. They take turns to move their pieces. Lily is very good at chess. She thinks a lot before she moves. Tom is not so good. He moves very fast. He does not think a lot.
+
+"Slow down, Tom!" Lily says. "Chess is not a race. You have to be careful and smart."
+
+"But I like to speed!" Tom says. "Speed is fun. I want to finish the game quickly."
+
+Tom moves his queen to a square. He thinks he can catch Lily's king. He smiles. He says, "Checkmate!"
+
+But he is wrong. Lily sees a way to escape. She moves her king to another square. She says, "No, Tom. That is not checkmate. You missed something. Look!"
+
+Tom looks. He sees that Lily can take his queen with her rook. He is sad. He says, "Oh, no. You are right. You win. You are very good at chess, Lily."
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are very fast at chess, but you need to be more careful. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Tom nods. He says, "Yes, please. I want to learn from you. You are a lovely friend, Lily."
+
+Lily and Tom hug. They set up the board again. They play another game of chess. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the big park near their home. There were many trees and flowers and birds and swings. They had a favorite tree, a big oak, that had a hole in its trunk. They liked to pretend it was their secret house and hide things inside.
+
+One day, they found a shiny stone near the oak. It was round and smooth and had many colors. Ben said, "This is a magic stone. It can make wishes come true." Lily said, "Really? Can we try it?" Ben said, "Yes, but we have to be careful. We can only make one wish each, and we have to keep the stone in the oak. If we take it out, the magic will go away."
+
+They thought hard about what they wanted to wish for. Ben wished for a big bike, like the one his big brother had. Lily wished for a pretty doll, like the one she saw in the shop window. They put the stone in the hole and said their wishes out loud. Then they ran home, hoping to find their wishes come true.

+The next day, they went back to the park, excited to see their new bike and doll. But when they got to the oak, they saw something strange. The hole was filled with water, and the stone was gone. They looked around, but they could not find it anywhere. They wondered what happened to it.
+
+Then they heard a voice from behind the tree. It was a man, wearing a dark coat and a hat. He had a big bag in his hand. He said, "Hello, kids. Do you like my stone? I found it in this old oak. It's very rare and valuable. I'm going to sell it for a lot of money." He laughed and walked away, leaving Ben and Lily sad and angry.
+
+They realized that the man had taken their stone, and their wishes, and filled the hole with water to hide it. They felt cheated and foolish. They wished they had never found the stone, or wished for anything. They learned that some things are too good to be true, and that magic can have a dark side. They decided to play with their old toys instead, and never go near the oak again.
+Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a flower. The flower is red and pretty.
+
+"Look, a flower!" Mia says. "Can I have it?"
+
+"No, I want it!" Ben says. "It is mine!"
+
+They both try to grab the flower. They pull and pull. The flower breaks.
+
+"Oh no!" Mia and Ben say. "We broke the flower!"
+
+They feel sad. They look at the flower. It is not red and pretty anymore. It is brown and sad.
+
+A lady sees them. She is nice. She has a basket. The basket has many flowers. The flowers are yellow and happy.
+
+"Hello, children," the lady says. "Why are you sad?"
+
+"We broke the flower," Mia and Ben say. "We both wanted it."
+
+The lady smiles. She gives them each a flower.
+
+"Here, you can have these flowers," she says. "They are for you. You can own them."
+
+"Thank you, lady!" Mia and Ben say. They are happy. They hug the lady.
+
+They look at their flowers. They are yellow and happy. They smell good.
+
+"Let's be nice to our flowers," Mia says. "Let's not break them."
+
+"Okay," Ben says. "Let's put them in water."
+
+They run to the fountain. They find a cup. They fill it with water. They put their flowers in the cup.
+
+They sit on a bench. They look at their flowers. They smile.
+
+They see a cat. The cat is black and lazy. It sleeps on the grass.
+
+"Look, a cat!" Mia says. "Can I pet it?"
+
+"No, I want to pet it!" Ben says. "It is mine!"
+
+They both try to grab the cat. The cat wakes up. It hisses and scratches. It runs away.
+
+"Oh no!" Mia and Ben say. "We scared the cat!"
+
+They feel sorry. They look at the cat. It is not black and lazy anymore. It is gray and angry.
+
+They learn a lesson. They say sorry to the cat. They say sorry to each other.
+
+They decide to share. They share their flowers. They share their cup. They share their bench.
+
+They are friends. They are happy. They play in the park.

+Anna thinks for a moment. She likes to play with Lily, but she also wants to be nice to Ben. She says, "Okay, mommy. I will invite Ben to play with us. Maybe he will like Lily too."
+
+Mommy is happy and calls Ben's mommy. She tells her that Anna wants to play with Ben and invites them to come over. Ben's mommy says yes and thanks her. She tells Ben that he has a play date with Anna and he should get ready.
+
+Ben is nervous and scared. He does not know Anna and he does not like to meet new people. He feels a pain in his tummy and he does not want to go. He tells his mommy that he is sick and he needs a pill.
+
+His mommy knows that he is not really sick, but he is just afraid. She hugs him and says, "Ben, I know you are scared, but Anna is a nice girl and she wants to be your friend. She has a doll that you can play with and maybe you will have fun. You don't need a pill, you just need to be brave and try something new."
+
+Ben listens to his mommy and decides to give it a try. He puts on his shoes and coat and follows his mommy to Anna's house. He knocks on the door and sees Anna and Lily waiting for him. Anna smiles and says, "Hi, Ben. I'm Anna and this is Lily. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Ben looks at Anna and Lily and feels a little better. He says, "Hi, Anna. Hi, Lily. I'm Ben and I like dolls too. Can I see Lily?"

+
+Mommy and Ben's mommy watch them and smile. They are happy that their children are happy. They are happy that they invited each other. They are happy that they have new neighbors.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, I made a big bridge!" Tim said, showing Lily his block creation. "It is very long and strong."
+
+"That is good, Tim," Lily said. "But I made a better house. It has a door and a window and a roof. It is very pretty and cozy."
+
+They both smiled and admired their blocks. They were proud of what they had made.
+
+But then, their mom came into the room. She had a black bag in her hand.
+
+"Tim and Lily, it is time for your nap," she said. "You have played a lot and you need to rest. Put your blocks in the bag and come with me."
+
+Tim and Lily did not want to nap. They wanted to play more with their blocks.
+
+"But mom, we are not sleepy," Tim said. "We want to play more. We have not completed our blocks yet."
+
+"Yes, mom, we have more ideas," Lily said. "We want to make more things. We have fun with our blocks."
+
+Mom shook her head and smiled.
+
+"I know you love your blocks, but you also need your nap," she said. "You can play with your blocks again after you wake up. They will not go away. They will be in the bag, waiting for you. Now, please, put your blocks in the bag and come with me."
+
+Tim and Lily sighed. They knew mom was right. They put their blocks in the bag and followed mom to their bedroom. They lay down on their beds and closed their eyes. Mom kissed them and turned off the light.
+
+"Sleep well, my sweeties," she said. "I love you."
+
+Tim and Lily felt warm and safe. They whispered to each other.
+
+"I love you, Tim," Lily said.
+
+"I love you, Lily," Tim said.
+
+They snuggled in their blankets and fell asleep. They dreamed of their blocks and the things they would make when they woke up. They were happy.

+Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It was white and shiny. It had a flag and a sail.
+
+"Wow, look at that boat!" Lily said. "It is so big and pretty. I want to go on it."
+
+"That is a yacht," Ben said. "My dad told me. Only rich people have yachts. They go very fast on the water."
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the edge of the water. They waved at the yacht. They hoped the people on the yacht would see them and say hello. But the yacht did not stop. It zoomed past them, making a loud noise and a big splash.
+
+Lily and Ben got wet. They felt cold and salty. They did not like the yacht anymore. They thought it was rude and mean.
+
+"Achoo!" Lily sneezed. She rubbed her nose. She felt a tickle in her throat.
+
+"Are you okay?" Ben asked. He was worried about his friend.
+
+"I think I have a cold," Lily said. She sneezed again. "Achoo!"
+
+"Let's go home," Ben said. He took Lily's hand. "We can have some soup and watch a movie. That will make you feel better."
+
+Lily nodded. She smiled at Ben. He was a good friend. She did not need a yacht. She had everything she needed.

+
+But his mom says, "You have to go, Tom. It is a gift from your grandma. She loves the opera. She wants you to see it with her. It will make her happy."
+
+Tom is miserable. He does not want to make his grandma sad, but he does not want to go to the opera. He puts on his coat and shoes. He takes one book with him. He hopes the opera will be short.
+
+At the opera, Tom is bored. He does not understand the words. He does not like the sounds. He wants to read his book. He tries to read it under his seat, but his mom sees him. She says, "Tom, put away your book. You have to watch the opera. It is rude to read during the show."
+
+Tom is more miserable. He puts away his book. He watches the opera. He wishes it would end soon. He looks at his grandma. She is smiling. She is clapping. She is happy. Tom feels a little happy for her. He thinks, maybe the opera is not so bad. Maybe he can read his book later. He tries to smile too. He hopes his grandma will like his smile.
+Jill and Tom liked to play pretend. They had a big box of clothes and toys to dress up as different things. One day, they found a red velvet cape in the box. Jill wanted to wear it and pretend to be a queen. Tom wanted to wear it and pretend to be a superhero. They fought over the cape and pulled it hard.
+
+"Stop it, Jill! It's mine!" Tom shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Jill yelled.
+
+They did not see the big hole in the cape. They did not see the scary dog outside the window. The dog saw the red cape and thought it was a toy. He barked and jumped and scratched the glass. He wanted to play with the cape too.
+
+The glass broke and the dog ran inside. He saw Jill and Tom holding the cape and ran towards them. He bit the cape and pulled it with his teeth. Jill and Tom screamed and let go of the cape.

+
+Ben saw the mouse and laughed. He thought it was funny and cute. He liked the mouse.

+He took off his cat hat and put it on the ground. He called the mouse and offered it some cheese. The mouse smelled the cheese and jumped off Lily's head. It ran towards Ben and ate the cheese.
+
+Ben picked up the mouse and put it in his cat hat. He said to the mouse, "You can be my pet. I will call you Mimi."
+
+He said to Lily, "Do you want to see Mimi? She is nice and friendly."
+
+Lily was still scared and angry. She said to Ben, "No, thank you. I do not like Mimi. I do not like mice. I like my mouse hat, but not real mice."
+
+She put on her mouse hat and ran to her mom. She said to her mom, "Let's go home. I do not want to play with Ben and Mimi. They are silly and mean."

+Lila wanted to make a dress for her doll. She had a piece of cloth that was pink and soft. She cut the cloth with scissors and sewed it with a needle and thread. She was very careful not to hurt herself.
+
+She was almost done when her mom came in. "What are you doing, Lila?" her mom asked.
+
+"I am making a dress for my doll," Lila said. "I want her to look pretty."
+
+"That's very nice of you," her mom said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Lila showed her mom the dress. It had a round neck and a long skirt. It had some buttons on the back.
+
+"It's very pretty, Lila," her mom said. "But I think it's too big for your doll. It won't fit her."
+
+Lila looked at the dress and then at her doll. She saw that her mom was right. The dress was too big for her doll. It would fall off her.
+
+Lila felt sad. She had worked hard on the dress, but it was not complete. She wanted her doll to wear it.
+
+"Don't be sad, Lila," her mom said. "We can fix it. We can make it smaller. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Lila nodded. She wanted to help her mom. She wanted to complete the dress.
+
+Her mom took the dress and the scissors. She cut off some of the cloth and sewed it again. She made the neck smaller and the skirt shorter. She moved the buttons closer.

+
+Ben says, "No, I am not. It is just a game. The dinosaur is hungry and he likes to bite. Your doll is flexible. She can bend and twist. See?" He shows Anna how he can bend the doll's arms and legs.
+
+Anna says, "No, Ben. That is not flexible. That is breaking. You are breaking my doll. Give her back to me." She tries to grab the doll from Ben, but he holds it tight.
+
+They start to pull and tug on the doll. The doll's head pops off and rolls on the floor. Anna and Ben are shocked. They look at the doll's head and then at each other. They do not know what to do.
+
+They hear their mom coming. She says, "What is going on here? What is that noise?" She sees the doll's head and the dinosaur on the floor. She asks, "What happened to the doll? Who did this?"
+
+Anna and Ben do not answer. They have no question. They know they are in trouble. They are sorry for their game. They wish they had played nicely.

+
+One night, Tim and Lily ask their mom if they can read a book about stars before bed. Their mom says yes, but they have to brush their teeth first. Tim and Lily run to the bathroom and brush their teeth. Then they go back to their room and look for the book about stars.
+
+But they cannot find the book. They look under the bed, in the closet, on the shelf, but the book is not there. They are sad and confused. Where is the book about stars?
+
+Then they hear a noise from the window. They look outside and see a big, black cat. The cat is holding the book about stars in its mouth. The cat is filthy. It has dirt and mud on its fur. It has torn the book with its claws and teeth. The book is filthy too.
+
+"Hey, that's our book!" Tim shouts. "Give it back, you bad cat!"
+
+The cat looks at Tim and Lily and hisses. It does not want to give back the book. It likes to play with the book. It thinks the book is a toy.
+
+Tim and Lily are angry and scared. They do not know what to do. They want their book back, but they do not want to fight with the cat. They need help.
+
+They call their mom. Their mom comes to their room and sees the cat and the book. She is surprised and annoyed. She opens the window and tells the cat to go away. She takes the book from the cat and gives it to Tim and Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids, your book is ruined," she says. "The cat has made it filthy and ripped it. You cannot read it anymore."
+
+Tim and Lily are sad. They love their book about stars. They hug their book and cry.
+
+Their mom hugs them and says, "Don't worry, kids, I have an idea. Why don't we go outside and look at the real stars? They are much more beautiful than the book. And the cat cannot take them away."
+
+Tim and Lily smile. They like their mom's idea. They wipe their tears and put on their jackets. They follow their mom outside and look at the sky. They see many stars. They are shiny and pretty. They make Tim and Lily happy.
+
+They point at the stars and ask their mom questions. Their mom tells them the names of the stars and the stories behind them. Tim and Lily listen and learn. They forget about the cat and the book.

+Tom liked to play with his dad's guitar. He liked the sounds it made when he touched the strings. He wanted to learn how to play it like his dad.
+
+One day, when his dad was out, Tom saw the guitar on the couch. He thought it was a good time to try to play it. He picked it up and held it in his arms. He tried to strum the strings like his dad did, but it sounded bad. He tried to make it sound better, but it only got worse.
+
+Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. It was his dad coming back home. Tom was frightened. He thought his dad would be angry with him for playing with his guitar. He quickly put the guitar back on the couch and ran to his room. He hid under his bed and hoped his dad would not find him.
+
+But his dad was not angry. He saw the guitar on the couch and smiled. He knew Tom had tried to play it. He was proud of his son for being curious and brave. He went to Tom's room and knocked on the door. He said, "Tom, can I come in? I want to talk to you."
+
+Tom heard his dad's voice and felt a little better. He crawled out from under his bed and opened the door. His dad hugged him and said, "I'm not mad at you, Tom. I'm glad you like my guitar. Do you want me to teach you how to play it?"
+
+Tom nodded and smiled. He was happy his dad was not angry. He was excited to learn how to play the guitar. He said, "Yes, please, dad. I want to play like you."
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were their babies and they were the mom and dad. They found a big leather bag under a tree. It was brown and shiny and had a zipper.
+
+"Look, Mia, a new house for our babies!" Tim said. He opened the zipper and put his doll inside. "She can sleep here and be warm and cozy."
+
+Mia smiled and did the same with her doll. "Yes, and we can carry them around and go on adventures!" she said. She zipped the bag and lifted it up. It was heavy and made a funny noise.
+
+"What's that?" Tim asked. He looked inside the bag and saw something else. It was a snake. It was long and green and had black spots. It was not moving. It was dead.
+
+"Ah!" Tim screamed. He dropped the bag and ran away. Mia saw the snake and screamed too. She threw the bag and followed Tim. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench.
+
+"Mom, mom, there's a snake in the bag!" Tim cried. "A dead snake!"
+
+"A snake? What bag?" Mom asked. She got up and walked with them to the tree. She saw the leather bag and opened it. She saw the snake and the dolls. She was not scared. She laughed.
+
+"Oh, you silly kids, that's not a real snake. That's a toy snake. Someone must have left it here as a joke. See, it has a tag that says 'squeeze me'. It makes a sound when you squeeze it. It's not dead, it's just a toy."
+
+She squeezed the snake and it made a hissing noise. Tim and Mia stopped crying and looked at the snake. They realized it was not real. They laughed too.
+
+"Can we keep it, mom?" Mia asked. "It's funny and we can play with it."
+
+"Sure, why not. But don't scare anyone with it, okay?" Mom said. She took the dolls out of the bag and gave them back to Tim and Mia. She put the snake in the bag and zipped it.
+
+"Okay, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." Tim and Mia said. They hugged their mom and smiled. They were happy again. They went back to playing with their dolls and their new toy snake. They had fun in the park.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big tree with many pears. The pears are yellow and sweet.
+
+"Let's pick some pears!" Tom says. He runs to the tree and tries to reach a pear. But he is too short. He jumps and jumps, but he cannot touch the pear.
+
+"Help me, Anna!" he says. "You are taller than me. You can pick a pear for us."
+
+Anna walks to the tree and looks up. She sees a pear that is close to her. She stretches her arm and grabs the pear. But the pear is too heavy for her. She is weak. She cannot hold the pear. The pear falls to the ground and breaks.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna says. "I am sorry, Tom. I am too weak. I cannot pick a pear for us."
+
+Tom and Anna are sad. They want to eat a pear. They look around and see a small basket. The basket has some pears in it. The pears are small and light.
+
+"Look, Anna!" Tom says. "There are some pears in the basket. Maybe we can have one."
+

+Ben and Lily liked to play at the park. They liked to swing, climb and run. But their favorite thing was to slide. They liked to slide fast and feel the wind in their hair.
+
+One day, they saw a new slide at the park. It was big and shiny and metal. It looked like a lot of fun. Ben and Lily ran to the slide and waited for their turn.
+
+"Can I go first?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The slide is very high," Lily said.
+
+Ben nodded and climbed up the ladder. He reached the top and looked down. The slide was very steep and long. He felt a little scared, but he wanted to try it. He sat on the slide and pushed himself off.
+
+But as soon as he did, he felt something sticky and wet on his hands and legs. He looked and saw that the slide was filthy. It was covered with mud and slime and bugs. He screamed and tried to stop, but he was going too fast. He slid all the way down and landed in a puddle of dirt.
+
+Lily saw what happened and gasped. She ran to Ben and helped him up. He was covered with filth and tears. He looked at Lily and said, "I don't like the new slide. It's yucky and mean."
+
+Lily hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I don't like it either. Let's go to the old slide. It's nice and clean and fun."
+
+They walked away from the new slide and went to the old slide. They slid down together and laughed. They forgot about the filthy metal slide and had a good time.
+Lily and Max are brother and sister. They like to play together after dinner. One night, they decide to play hide and seek in the hall. Lily is the seeker and Max is the hider.
+
+"Ready or not, here I come!" Lily says. She walks in the hall and looks for Max. She sees a big coat on a hook. She thinks Max is hiding under the coat. She pulls the coat and says "Got you!"
+
+But it is not Max. It is a big teddy bear that falls on Lily. Lily is surprised and scared. She screams and drops the teddy bear. Max hears Lily and comes out of his hiding spot. He sees Lily and the teddy bear on the floor. He thinks it is funny and starts to laugh.
+
+Lily hears Max and looks at him. She sees that he is laughing and not hiding. She realizes that it was a joke and not a real bear. She feels silly and starts to laugh too. They both laugh and hug each other.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. I did not mean to scare you. I just wanted to make you laugh." Max says.
+
+"It's okay, Max. You did make me laugh. But next time, pick a smaller teddy bear." Lily says.
+
+They pick up the teddy bear and put it back on the hook. They say good night to each other and go to their rooms. They are sleepy and happy. They dream of more fun games.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. But sometimes they fought over who got to play with what. One day, they found a big red ball in the park and both wanted to have it.
+
+"Give me the ball!" Tom said, pulling on one side of the ball.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said, pulling on the other side of the ball.
+
+They pulled and pulled, but the ball did not move. They were both very strong and very selfish.
+
+A nice lady saw them and came over. She smiled and said, "Hello, children. Why are you fighting over the ball?"
+
+"Because it's mine!" Tom and Lily said at the same time.
+
+The lady shook her head and said, "No, it's not. It belongs to the park. You can share it and play with it together, or you can leave it and play with something else. But you can't keep it or fight over it. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded, but they did not really understand. They still wanted the ball.
+
+The lady said, "Repeat after me: Sharing is caring."
+
+"Sharing is caring," Tom and Lily said, but they did not mean it.
+
+The lady said, "Good. Now, let go of the ball and take turns to roll it, kick it, or bounce it. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom and Lily let go of the ball and looked at each other. They did not want to do that, but they did not want to make the lady angry. So they agreed to take turns, but they did not have much fun. They still felt selfish and wanted the ball for themselves.

+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their dad's lab. Their dad was a scientist who made many things in his lab, like robots, potions and machines. He told them to never touch anything in his lab, because it could be dangerous or break. He said they had to behave and be wise when he was not home.
+
+One day, their dad had to go to work and left them with a babysitter. The babysitter was nice, but she was busy making lunch and did not watch them all the time. Ben and Lily were bored and curious. They decided to sneak into the lab and see what their dad was working on.
+
+They saw a big red button on a table. It had a sign that said "Do not press". Ben wanted to press it, but Lily said no. She said they had to behave and be wise, like their dad said. Ben did not listen. He said it would be fun and maybe something cool would happen. He pressed the button.
+
+Suddenly, a loud noise came from the lab. Smoke and sparks flew everywhere. The lab shook and cracked. The babysitter ran to the lab and saw Ben and Lily. She was scared and angry. She grabbed them and took them outside. She called their dad and told him what happened.
+
+Their dad came home and saw his lab. It was ruined. All his things were broken or burned. He was very sad and mad. He looked at Ben and Lily. They were sorry and scared. They knew they did a bad thing. They knew they did not behave and be wise. Their dad said they were in big trouble. He said they had to go to their room and stay there for a long time. He said they could not play with his lab ever again. Ben and Lily cried and wished they had listened to their dad. They learned a hard lesson. The end.
+Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. They got in the car and put on their seat belts.
+
+"Can we speed, Dad?" Ben asked. He was in a hurry to get to the zoo.
+
+"No, Ben, we have to be polite and follow the rules," Dad said. "We don't want to get in trouble or hurt anyone."
+
+Anna nodded. She was a good girl. She liked to be polite and follow the rules. She looked out the window and saw the clouds. They were dark and gray. She hoped it would not rain.
+
+They arrived at the zoo and bought their tickets. They walked to the entrance and saw a big sign. It said: "Welcome to the zoo! Please do not feed the animals, do not climb the fences, and do not make loud noises. Enjoy your visit!"
+
+"Look, Mom, there are the lions!" Ben shouted. He ran to the fence and pointed at the big cats. They were lying on the grass, looking bored.
+
+"Shh, Ben, you have to be quiet," Mom said. "You don't want to scare the lions or make them angry."
+
+Anna followed Mom and Ben. She wanted to see the lions too. But she was careful and quiet. She did not want to scare the lions or make them angry.
+
+They watched the lions for a while. Then they moved on to see the monkeys. The monkeys were swinging from the trees, making funny noises and faces. Ben laughed and tried to imitate them. He made funny noises and faces too.
+
+"Ben, stop that," Dad said. "You have to be polite and respectful. The monkeys are not here to entertain you. They are living beings, just like you."
+
+Anna smiled and waved at the monkeys. She liked them. They were cute and playful. She did not make funny noises or faces. She was polite and respectful.
+
+They watched the monkeys for a while. Then they moved on to see the elephants. The elephants were huge and gray. They were spraying water from their trunks and eating hay. Ben was amazed and curious. He wanted to touch them and feed them.
+
+"Ben, come back here," Mom said. "You can't go near the elephants. They are very strong and can hurt you. And you can't feed them. They have a special diet. You have to follow the sign."
+
+Anna stayed close to Mom and Dad. She did not go near the elephants. She knew they were very strong and could hurt her. And she did not feed them. She followed the sign.
+
+They watched the elephants for a while. Then they heard a loud roar. It was the lions. They had woken up and were hungry. They saw Ben, who was still making funny noises and faces. They thought he was a tasty snack. They jumped over the fence and ran towards him.
+
+"Ben, run!" Dad yelled. He grabbed Ben and ran to the exit. Mom and Anna followed them. They were scared and shocked.
+
+The zookeepers saw the lions and ran to stop them. They used their nets and tranquilizers to catch them and put them back in their cage. They apologized to the visitors and closed the zoo.
+
+Anna and Ben were safe. They hugged Mom and Dad. They were glad they were not eaten by the lions.
+
+"Ben, I hope you learned your lesson," Dad said. "You have to be polite and follow the rules. Especially at the zoo. You never know what can happen."
+
+"I'm sorry, Dad," Ben said. "I was silly and rude. I won't do it again."
+
+Anna smiled and kissed Ben. She was proud of him. He said he was sorry and learned his lesson. She hoped he would be polite and follow the rules from now on. She liked to be polite and follow the rules. She thought it was the best way to enjoy the zoo.

+
+Leo looked at her and said, "But I want to see what is inside! It looks fun and pretty! Why do you hide it?"
+
+Mira said, "Because it is my secret! It has my thoughts and feelings and wishes! You have to mind your own things, not mine! You have to be obedient and listen to me!"

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a brown jeep that they could drive around the yard. They pretended to be explorers and went on adventures.
+
+One day, they saw a big cake on the table in the kitchen. It smelled yummy and had white frosting and red cherries. They wanted to have some, but their mom said no. She said the cake was for their dad's birthday and they had to wait until he came home.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They thought their mom was mean and did not love them. They decided to take the cake and serve it to themselves. They got a knife and a plate and sneaked into the kitchen. They cut a big slice of cake and put it on the plate. They ran to their jeep with the cake and drove away.
+
+They laughed and cheered as they ate the cake. It was sweet and soft and they liked it a lot. They did not care about their dad or their mom. They only cared about themselves.
+
+But they did not see the big rock on the road. They hit the rock and the jeep flipped over. The cake flew out of their hands and landed on the ground. The jeep was broken and they were hurt. They cried and screamed for help, but no one heard them. They were alone and scared. They wished they had listened to their mom and waited for their dad. They realized they had been very bad and selfish. They learned a hard lesson.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll with a pink dress and a zip on the back. Tom had a small car with four wheels and a horn. Lily liked her doll very much and did not want to share it with Tom. Tom liked his car very much and did not want to share it with Lily.
+
+"Can I play with your doll, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, it is mine. Go away!" Lily said.
+
+"Can I play with your car, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, it is mine. Go away!" Tom said.
+
+They both turned away from each other and played alone. They were selfish and did not have fun.
+
+Then, their mom came into the living room. She saw the toys on the floor and the children not talking to each other.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked.
+
+"Lily and Tom are not sharing their toys. They are selfish," they both said.
+
+Mom was not happy. She picked up the toys and put them in a basket.
+
+"Come with me, Lily and Tom. You need to learn how to share and be kind. We are going to wash these toys and give them to some children who do not have any toys. Maybe then you will appreciate what you have," she said.
+
+Lily and Tom followed their mom to the bathroom. They helped her wash the doll and the car with soap and water. They saw the zip on the doll's dress and the horn on the car's hood. They realized that they had nice toys and that they were lucky.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We were selfish. We want to share our toys with each other and with other children. Can we keep them, please?" they both said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Of course you can keep them, but only if you promise to share them and be kind. And you have to play together and have fun. Do you promise?" she said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and hugged their mom.
+

+
+They took their toys and went back to the living room. They played with the doll and the car together and had fun. They were not selfish anymore. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Sara wore a pink apron and Tom wore a blue one. They had a big bowl of flour, some eggs, some milk and some sugar. They wanted to make a cake for their mom.
+
+"Let's mix everything together," Sara said. She cracked an egg and poured it into the bowl. Tom did the same. Then they added some milk and some sugar. They took a big spoon and stirred the mixture. It was sticky and gooey.
+
+"Can I taste it?" Tom asked. He licked the spoon and made a funny face. "It's not very good."
+
+"That's because we have to bake it first," Sara said. "It will be better when it's hot and fluffy."
+
+They poured the mixture into a cake pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer for 20 minutes. Then they cleaned up the mess. They washed the bowl, the spoon and the apron. They were very proud of themselves.
+
+They went to the living room and waited for the cake to be ready. They watched some cartoons on TV. They were very excited to surprise their mom with the cake.
+
+But then something bad happened. The timer went off, but they didn't hear it. They were too busy watching TV. The cake stayed in the oven for too long. It burned and smoked. The smoke filled the kitchen and the whole house.
+
+The smoke alarm started to beep loudly. Sara and Tom jumped up and ran to the kitchen. They saw the black cake in the oven. They smelled the bad smoke. They felt very scared and sad.
+
+"Mom! Mom!" they cried. "We're sorry! We made a mistake!"
+
+Their mom came running from upstairs. She saw the smoke and the cake. She opened the windows and turned off the oven. She hugged Sara and Tom and calmed them down.
+
+"It's okay, sweeties," she said. "I'm glad you're safe. It was very nice of you to try to make a cake for me. But you have to be careful when you use the oven. It can be very hot and dangerous. You have to watch the timer and listen to the alarm."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They felt very sorry and ashamed. They wanted to make their mom happy, not anxious.
+
+"Can we still have some cake?" Tom asked.
+
+Their mom smiled. She took the cake out of the oven and cut a small piece. She gave it to Tom and Sara. They tasted it. It was very hard and bitter.
+
+"Yuck!" they said. They spit it out.
+
+Their mom laughed. She took the cake and threw it in the trash. She said, "Let's make a new cake together. A better one. And this time, we'll pay attention to the oven."
+
+Sara and Tom smiled. They hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom."
+
+They went back to the kitchen and put on their apron. They made a new cake with their mom. A delicious one. They ate it with some ice cream and sprinkles. They forgot about the bad cake. It vanished from their minds. They were happy and proud. They had learned a lesson. They had a lot of fun.

+
+One day, Tom's mom comes to his room. She sees the spider and the web. She is scared and angry. She says, "Tom, what is this? You have a spider in your room? That is not good. Spiders are dirty and can bite. We have to get rid of it."
+
+Tom is sad and upset. He says, "No, mom, please don't. The spider is my friend. He does not bite. He is busy making his home. He likes the flies and ants I feed him. Please let him stay."
+
+Tom's mom looks at Tom and sees that he loves the spider. She thinks for a moment. She says, "Okay, Tom, I will let you keep the spider. But you have to promise me something. You have to keep your room clean and tidy. You have to wash your hands after you touch the spider. And you have to be careful not to let the spider escape or bother anyone else. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, mom, I understand. Thank you for letting me keep the spider. He is happy here. And I will do what you say." He hugs his mom and then goes to feed the spider some more flies and ants. The spider is busy making his web bigger and stronger. Tom and the spider are happy.

+
+One morning, Lily heard a loud scream from the barn. She ran to see what was wrong. She saw a big fox trying to catch the chickens. The chickens were scared and flapped their wings.

+
+Lily's mom heard the scream and came to the barn. She saw Lily holding the stick and the chickens safe. She hugged Lily and praised her. She said Lily was a dependable and courageous girl. She gave Lily a glass of milk and a cookie. Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She was proud and happy.
+Lily and Max like to jog in the park with their dad. They wear their sneakers and their hats and they run fast. Sometimes they see birds and flowers and dogs. They say hello to them and keep jogging.
+
+One day, they see a big wall with many colors on it. It is a paint picture. Someone used a spray can to make it. Lily and Max stop and look at it. They see shapes and letters and faces. They think it is impressive.
+
+"Wow, dad, look at the paint picture!" Lily says. "It is so pretty and bright!"
+
+"Yes, it is, Lily. It is very impressive. Do you know what it is called?" dad asks.
+
+"No, dad, what is it called?" Max says.
+
+"It is called graffiti, Max. It is a kind of art that some people do on walls and buildings. But not everyone likes it. Sometimes it is illegal and rude," dad explains.
+
+"Illegal and rude? Why, dad?" Lily asks.
+
+"Because some people do not ask for permission to paint on other people's property. And sometimes they paint bad words or mean things. That is not nice. That is vandalism," dad says.
+
+"Vandalism? What is that, dad?" Max asks.
+
+"Vandalism is when you damage or destroy something that is not yours. It is wrong and you can get in trouble for it," dad says.
+
+"Oh, I see, dad. That is bad. We do not want to do vandalism. We want to be good and respectful," Lily says.
+
+"That's right, Lily. You are very smart and kind. I am proud of you and Max. Now, let's keep jogging. We still have a lot to see and do in the park," dad says.
+
+Lily and Max nod and smile. They hold dad's hands and start jogging again. They enjoy the park and the paint picture, but they also remember dad's words. They do not want to do vandalism. They want to do art.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to balance on the logs. The logs were big and round and they rolled a little when Tom and Lily walked on them.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily saw a new log in the park. It was bigger and longer than the other logs. Tom and Lily wanted to try it. They ran to the log and climbed on it. But the log was very wobbly and it rolled a lot. Tom and Lily felt scared.
+
+Tom tried to hold on to the log with his hands. But his palms were sweaty and he slipped. He fell off the log and landed on the grass. He hurt his knee and started to cry. Lily saw Tom and felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him. But she was still on the log and she did not know how to get off.
+
+Lily was troubled. She did not want to fall like Tom. She did not want to hurt herself. She looked around and saw a tree near the log. The tree had a low branch that she could reach. She had an idea.
+
+Lily moved slowly on the log until she was close to the tree. She stretched her arm and grabbed the branch. She pulled herself off the log and swung to the ground. She was safe. She ran to Tom and hugged him. She said, "Don't cry, Tom. I'm here. Let's go to the nurse and get a band-aid for your knee."
+
+Tom and Lily walked to the nurse. The nurse was kind and gave Tom a band-aid and a lollipop. She said, "You are brave, Tom. And you are smart, Lily. You know how to balance and how to use the tree. But be careful next time. The new log is too hard for you. Play on the other logs instead."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, nurse." They felt better and went back to the park. They played on the other logs and had fun. They did not try the new log again. They knew it was not for them.

+Tim and Sam are friends who like to play with toys. They have a big box of toys in Tim's room. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a microscope. It is a thing that makes small things look big.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Tim asks.
+
+"It is a microscope. My dad gave it to me. He said I can use it to see bugs and plants and other things," Sam says.

+
+"What is in it?" Tim asks.
+
+"It is water from the ocean. My dad brought it from his trip. He said it has many tiny animals and plants in it. He said they are called plankton," Sam says.
+
+"Plankton? What are they?" Tim asks.
+
+"They are very small. You can't see them with your eyes. But maybe you can see them with the microscope," Sam says.
+
+They open the jar and pour some water on a slide. They put the slide under the microscope and look through the eye-hole.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim says.
+
+"What do you see?" Sam asks.
+
+"I see many things. They are moving and swimming. They have different shapes and colors. Some are round, some are long, some are spiky, some are shiny. They are like tiny fish and stars and plants," Tim says.
+
+"Let me see, let me see," Sam says.
+
+They switch places and Sam looks through the eye-hole.
+
+"Wow, you are right. They are amazing. They are like a whole world in a drop of water," Sam says.
+
+They are amazed and excited. They want to see more plankton.
+
+"Let's dive in," Tim says.
+
+"What do you mean?" Sam asks.
+
+"Let's pretend we are plankton too. We can swim and move and explore the water. We can make friends with the other plankton. We can have fun," Tim says.
+
+"OK, let's dive in," Sam says.
+
+They close their eyes and imagine they are plankton. They dive in the water and have a great adventure. They are persistent and creative. They are happy and playful. They are the best friends.

+
+One day, her teacher asked her to share her dream with the class. Sara felt scared and nervous. She did not want to stand in front of everyone and speak. She wished she could hide under her desk.
+
+But then, she saw a friendly face in the crowd. It was Ben, a boy who sat next to her. He smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up. He whispered, "You can do it, Sara. I believe in you."
+
+Sara felt a little better. She took a deep breath and walked to the front. She told the class about her dream of being a teacher. She showed them some of her drawings and books. She said she loved to learn new things and share them with others.

+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big truck with a loud horn. It was carrying a huge cage with a lion inside.
+
+"Wow, look at that lion!" Max said. "He is so powerful and strong. I wish I could see him up close."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "But he is also scary and dangerous. We should not go near him."
+
+They watched the truck drive away. Then they heard a whisper behind a bush. It was a man with a hat and a coat. He looked sneaky and mean.
+
+"Psst, kids, come here," he whispered. "I have some news for you. Do you want to see the lion?"
+
+Lily and Max felt curious, but also afraid. They did not know the man. He did not look nice.
+
+"No, thank you," Lily said. "We have to go home now. Bye."
+
+She grabbed Max's hand and ran away. The man frowned and followed them.
+
+"Wait, kids, don't be scared," he whispered. "I have a secret for you. I can take you to the lion. He is not really powerful. He is weak and sick. I can help him. But I need your help too."
+
+Lily and Max did not believe the man. They knew he was lying. They saw his big bag with a net and a stick. He wanted to catch the lion and hurt him.
+
+"Go away, mean man," Max said. "We don't want your news. We don't want your secret. We love the lion. He is powerful and brave. You are bad and cruel. Leave him alone."
+
+He threw a rock at the man. The man dodged and yelled. He dropped his bag and ran away.
+
+Lily and Max hugged each other. They were happy and proud. They had saved the lion. They hoped he would be free and happy too. They went home and told their parents what happened.

+
+One day, Timmy and Spot were playing fetch with a ball. Timmy threw the ball and Spot ran after it. He caught it in his mouth and brought it back to Timmy. They did this many times, until Spot got tired and lay down on the grass. Timmy sat next to him and petted his head.
+
+"Spot, you are a good dog," Timmy said. "You are my best friend. Do you like playing with me?"
+
+Spot wagged his tail and licked Timmy's face. He barked softly and looked at Timmy with his big eyes. He liked playing with Timmy very much. He was happy to have him as his friend.
+
+"Spot, I have a question for you," Timmy said. "Why do you have paws and I have hands? What can you do with your paws that I can't do with my hands?"
+
+Spot tilted his head and thought for a moment. He did not know the answer to Timmy's question. He only knew that his paws were part of him, and that he used them for many things. He used them to walk, to scratch, to dig, to hold his ball, and to touch Timmy.
+
+"Spot, can you talk to me with your paws?" Timmy asked. "Can you show me what you mean with your paws?"
+
+Spot nodded and got up. He wanted to show Timmy what he could do with his paws. He walked over to a tree and scratched it with his front paw. He was telling Timmy that he liked to mark his territory. He walked over to a hole and dug it deeper with his back paw. He was telling Timmy that he liked to hide his bones. He walked over to his ball and picked it up with his mouth. He dropped it in front of Timmy and nudged it with his paw. He was telling Timmy that he wanted to play some more.
+
+Timmy smiled and picked up the ball. He threw it again and Spot ran after it. He caught it and brought it back. They repeated this game until they were both tired and happy. They lay down on the grass again and cuddled.
+

+Anna and Ben were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes, they missed the ball and had to run after it.
+
+One time, the ball went too far and landed near a big tree. Anna ran to get the ball, but she saw something else. It was a string. The string was long and shiny and had a balloon at the end. The balloon was red and round and had a smiley face on it.

+
+Ben came to see the balloon. He liked it too. He wanted to hold it. He reached for the string.
+
+"Can I have the balloon, Anna?" he asked.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Anna said. She pulled the string away from Ben. She did not want to share.

+"Give me the balloon, Anna!" he said.
+
+"No, go away!" Anna said. She pushed Ben. Ben fell on the grass.

+Lily ran to him and saw his wound. She felt sorry for him. She remembered that her mom had given her a bandage in her backpack. She took it out and said, "Don't cry, Ben. I have a bandage for you. I can lend it to you and it will make you feel better."
+

+
+"Mom, mom, look at my dress!" she cried. "It is broken! Can you repair it?"
+
+Mom looked at the tear and hugged Anna. "Don't worry, sweetie. I can repair it. But you have to be careful. The rose bush is dangerous. It has thorns that can hurt you."
+
+Anna nodded. She did not like the rose bush. She liked the sunflowers and the butterflies. Mom took her dress and a needle and a thread. She sewed the tear and made it look like new. She gave it back to Anna and smiled.

+Tom and Lily were adventurous twins who liked to explore the woods near their house. One day, they saw a big stream that was full of water. They wanted to cross it, but their mom said it was too dangerous. She said the water could rise and make a flood.
+
+But Tom and Lily did not listen. They waited until their mom was busy and ran to the stream. They found a big log that they could use as a bridge. They climbed on the log and started to walk over the water. They felt very brave and happy.

+"Let's go, Mia!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find a castle or a dragon!"
+
+"OK, Ben!" Mia said. "But how do we get to the bridge? It has a gate and a lock."

+Ben squinted his eyes. He saw the black thing had wheels and a door. He also saw a sign that said "Police".

+Ben and Mia crossed the bridge and went to the police car. They knocked on the door. A policeman opened it. He smiled at them.
+
+"Hello, kids!" he said. "What are you doing here?"

+"We are playing knights and princesses," Ben said. "We crossed the bridge and saw your car. Can you tell us a story?"
+
+The policeman laughed. He said he was on a break and he had a story to tell. He invited Ben and Mia to sit in his car.

+
+"Sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben said. They tried to play quietly, but they still liked to make noise with their toys. Lily hit the drum softly, and Ben pushed the car slowly.
+
+But then, Lily had an idea. She whispered to Ben, "Let's play a game. You close your eyes and I will hide the drum. Then you try to find it by following the sound. OK?"
+
+"OK," Ben said. He closed his eyes and counted to ten. Lily ran to the other side of the living room and hid the drum behind the couch. Then she hit it once and waited.
+
+Ben heard the sound and opened his eyes. He walked towards the couch, but he was not sure where the drum was. He heard it again and turned his head. He walked some more, but he was still confused. He heard it again and spun around. He walked and walked, but he could not find the drum. He felt dizzy from turning so much.
+
+"Lily, where are you? Where is the drum?" he asked.
+
+Lily giggled and hit the drum again. She was having fun, but she also felt sorry for Ben. She decided to end the game and show him where the drum was.
+
+"Here I am, Ben! Here is the drum!" she said, jumping out from behind the couch. She held the drum in her hands and smiled.
+
+Ben saw her and smiled too. He was happy to see her and the drum. He ran to her and gave her a hug.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. That was a fun game, but it made me dizzy. Can we play something else now?" he asked.
+
+"Sure, Ben. What do you want to play?" Lily asked.
+
+"Let's play with the car. You can drive it and I will chase it. OK?" Ben said.
+
+"OK," Lily said. She gave him the drum and took the car. They went to the floor and started to play with the car. They were still making noise, but they were also having fun. Mom smiled and let them play. Dad closed his door and tried to work.

+One day, he saw a big truck near his den. The truck had many boxes on it. The boxes had things inside. Lonely Fox was curious. He wanted to see what was in the boxes. He sneaked closer to the truck when no one was looking.
+
+He saw a small hole in one of the boxes. He put his nose inside and sniffed. He smelled something good. He smelled another fox! He heard a soft whimper. He pushed his head inside the hole and saw a scared fox. The scared fox was trapped in the box.
+
+"Hello," said Lonely Fox. "Who are you? Why are you in the box?"
+
+"Hello," said Scared Fox. "I am Red. I was caught by the bad men. They want to take me away. They want to sell me. I am afraid."
+
+"Don't be afraid," said Lonely Fox. "I will help you. I will get you out of the box. We can run away together. We can be friends."
+
+Lonely Fox used his teeth and claws to make the hole bigger. He pulled Red out of the box. They ran away from the truck as fast as they could. They ran to the woods, where they were safe.
+
+"Thank you," said Red. "You are very brave and kind. You saved me."
+
+"You are welcome," said Lonely Fox. "You are very sweet and smart. You made me happy."
+
+They smiled at each other. They felt a warm feeling in their hearts. They were not lonely anymore. They had each other. They played and hunted and slept together. They were the best of friends.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play with boats. They had many boats of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red boat that their dad made for them. They liked to sail it in the pond near their house and pretend they were pirates or explorers.
+
+One day, they decided to sail their boat to the other side of the pond, where they had never been before. They packed some snacks and toys and put them in the boat. They wore their hats and sunglasses and waved goodbye to their mom, who watched them from the porch.
+
+"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I am, Lily. Let's go!" Ben answered.
+
+They pushed their boat into the water and climbed in. They used sticks as oars and sang songs as they sailed. They saw ducks and fish and frogs and flowers. They felt the sun and the breeze and the spray. They had so much fun.
+
+After a while, they reached the other side of the pond. They tied their boat to a tree and got out. They saw a big hill with a slide and a swing and a sandbox. They also saw a sign that said "Welcome to the park!"
+
+"Wow, look at this, Lily! It's a surprise!" Ben exclaimed.
+
+"It's perfect, Ben! Let's play!" Lily agreed.
+
+They ran to the slide and the swing and the sandbox. They laughed and shouted and slid and swung and dug. They ate their snacks and shared them with some other kids. They made new friends and played some more.
+
+They had the best day ever. They were happy and tired. They thanked their new friends and said goodbye. They got back in their boat and sailed home. They told their mom all about their adventure. They hugged their dad and thanked him for their boat. They put their boat away and went to bed.
+
+They dreamed of sailing again.
+Ben and Lily were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, they found a path in the woods behind their house. They decided to follow it and see where it led.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go!" Ben said. He ran ahead, holding a stick. Lily followed him, carrying a basket. She wanted to pick some flowers and berries along the way.
+
+The path was twisty and bumpy. It went up and down, left and right. Ben and Lily saw many things: trees, rocks, birds, bugs. They laughed and talked as they walked.
+
+But then, the path became darker and scarier. It led them to a big cave. Ben and Lily stopped and looked at it.
+
+"Wow, what's in there?" Ben wondered. He raised his stick and moved closer.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe we should go back. It looks dangerous," Lily said. She felt afraid and held her basket tight.
+
+"No, Lily, don't be a baby. Let's go inside. It will be fun," Ben said. He did not listen to Lily. He walked into the cave.
+
+Lily did not want to go, but she did not want to be alone either. She followed Ben, hoping he was right.
+
+But he was not right. Inside the cave, there was a big bear. It was sleeping, but it heard Ben and Lily. It woke up and roared. It was angry and hungry.
+
+Ben and Lily screamed. They turned around and tried to run. But it was too late. The bear was faster. It caught them and ate them.
+
+The end.

+Her mom said, "Anna, you have to sleep. It's good for you. You need to rest and grow. You can be independent tomorrow. Now, please go to your room and get ready for bed."
+
+Anna did not listen. She ran upstairs and locked her door. She turned on her lamp and took out her dolls and cars. She made a lot of noise and pretended to have a party. She thought she was having fun and being independent.
+
+But soon, she started to feel lonely and scared. She heard strange sounds outside her window. She missed her mom and dad. She wished they were with her. She realized that being independent was not always good. She wanted to be with her family and feel safe and loved.

+
+Anna said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I was wrong. I don't want to stay up and be independent. I want to sleep and be with you. Can you please tuck me in and read me a story?"
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and hugged her. They said, "Of course, Anna. We love you. You can be independent when you're awake, but you also need to follow the rules and respect us. Now, let's go to your room and get ready for bed."

He might pinch you with his claws."
+
+Ben looked at the crab and saw that he was moving his claws and legs. He looked confused. He did not know why he was in the bucket. He wanted to go back to the water. He tried to climb out of the bucket, but he could not. He made a clicking noise with his mouth.
