That way you'll get to the end smooth and fast!" + +The fox and the rabbit looked at each other.

From that day on, the train always remembered the man who saved it from being stuck. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the park near her house. One day, she saw a gate that she had never seen before. It was big and had a mark on it. She asked her mom what the mark meant, but her mom didn't know. + +Lily was curious and wanted to know more, so she went through the gate. On the other side, she found a garden that was very comfortable. There were soft chairs and pretty flowers. She was having so much fun that she didn't notice the dark clouds in the sky. + +Suddenly, it started to rain very hard. Lily tried to go back through the gate, but it was locked. She was stuck in the garden all alone. She was scared and cold, and wished she had never gone through the gate. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside and explore. One day, he went for a walk in the woods. As he walked, he saw a big, crazy-looking bear. + +Timmy was scared, but he knew he had to be brave. He didn't want the bear to spot him, so he hid behind a tree and gazed at the bear from afar. The bear was sniffing around, looking for food. Timmy knew he had to be very quiet so the bear wouldn't hear him. + +After a while, the bear wandered off into the woods. Timmy was relieved and happy that he was safe. He continued his walk, but now he knew to be more careful and aware of his surroundings. From that day on, Timmy always kept a watchful eye out for any danger that might spot him. +Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit named Benny. Benny liked to use his big ears to listen to the birds sing. He also liked to use his nose to smell the pretty flowers in the garden. + +One day, Benny was playing with his friends, the squirrels. They decided to have a race to see who was the quickest. Benny was not very fast, but he was not slow either. He tried his best and ran as fast as he could. + +Even though Benny did not win the race, he was happy because he had fun with his friends. They all laughed and played together. Benny learned that it's not always about being the quickest or the best, but about having fun and enjoying the moment. +Once upon a time, there was a happy little girl named Lily. She loved going to the park with her mommy and daddy. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Festival Today!" Lily was so excited to go. + +When they got there, they saw lots of bright colors and heard happy music. They played games and ate yummy food. But then, it started to rain. Lily was sad because she didn't want the festival to end. + +But then, the rain stopped and the sun came out. The ground was wet, but they found a big tent to stay dry. They danced and sang under the tent and had so much fun. Lily was happy again because the festival didn't have to end just because it rained. +Once upon a time, there was a shy little bunny named Benny. Benny was very quiet and didn't like to talk to other animals. One day, Benny saw a beautiful butterfly and he made a wish to be able to fly like the butterfly. + +Benny's friend, a wise old owl named Ollie, came to explain to Benny that he couldn't fly like a butterfly because he was a bunny and bunnies don't have wings. But Ollie told Benny that he could still do amazing things, like hop really high and run really fast. + +Benny thought about what Ollie said and realized that he didn't need to be like anyone else. He was special just the way he was. From that day on, Benny wasn't so shy anymore and he started to make friends with all the animals in the forest. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy had a toy car that he loved to play with every day. One day, Timmy went to the store with his mom and saw a big orange model car. He wanted to touch it, but his mom said no because it wasn't his toy car. + +Timmy was sad, but he understood that he couldn't touch the orange model car. When they got home, Timmy played with his toy car and pretended it was the orange model car. He imagined driving it around and touching all the buttons. + +The next day, Timmy's mom surprised him with a new toy. It was an orange model car just like the one they saw at the store! Timmy was so happy and he couldn't wait to touch it and play with it. From that day on, Timmy played with his toy car and the orange model car together, touching and driving them all around his room. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She was very intelligent and loved to measure things. One day, she was playing with her friend Timmy when they found a big stick. + +Lily said, "Let's measure how long the stick is!" Timmy agreed and they used a ruler to measure it. They found out it was two feet long. + +Then, they decided to mark the stick with their names. Lily wrote her name on one end and Timmy wrote his on the other. + +Suddenly, a big gust of wind came and blew the stick away. Lily and Timmy tried to catch it, but it was too late. They were sad that they lost their stick with their names on it. + +From that day on, Lily and Timmy learned to be careful with their things and not to leave them where they could blow away. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a red dress. Lily liked to comb Anna's hair and make her look pretty. + +One day, Lily and Anna went outside to play in the garden. They saw some flowers and butterflies. Lily picked some flowers and put them in Anna's hair. Anna looked very pretty. Lily was happy. + +But then, Lily saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry. It ran towards Lily and Anna. Lily was scared. She hugged Anna and ran away. The dog followed them. It barked and jumped. It wanted to play, but Lily did not know that. + +Lily ran to the house. She opened the door and went inside. She closed the door and locked it. The dog stayed outside. It scratched the door and whined. It was sad. + +Lily looked at Anna. Anna was dirty. She had mud and grass on her hair and dress. Her red dress was not red anymore. It was brown and green. Lily was sad. She wanted to make Anna clean again. + +Lily took Anna to the bathroom. She filled the sink with water. She put some soap in the water. She washed Anna's hair and dress. She rubbed and rinsed. She made Anna clean again. Her red dress was red again. Lily was happy. She dried Anna with a towel. She hugged Anna and said, "I love you, Anna. You are my best friend." Anna smiled. She loved Lily too. +Tim and Amy are playing with blocks. They want to build a big house for their toys. They stack the blocks on top of each other and make walls and a roof. They are having fun. + +"Look, our house is almost done!" Tim says. "We just need a door and some windows." + +"OK, let's make them with these blocks," Amy says. She picks up some blue and yellow blocks and puts them in the gaps. "There, now our house is pretty and bright." + +They put their toys inside the house and pretend they are a family. They have a teddy bear, a doll, a car and a dinosaur. They make them talk and play together. + +"Hello, I'm Daddy Bear. I'm going to work now. Bye, Mommy Doll and kids," the teddy bear says. + +"Bye, Daddy. Have a good day. We will stay home and have fun," the doll says. + +"I'm Timmy Car. I want to go outside and race with my friends," the car says. + +"I'm Amy Dino. I want to stay inside and read a book," the dinosaur says. + +They act out different scenarios and laugh. They are happy. + +But then, Amy feels a pain in her mouth. She touches her tooth and winces. "Ow, ow, ow. My tooth hurts," she says. + +Tim stops playing and looks at her. "What's wrong, Amy?" he asks. + +"My tooth hurts. It's loose. I think it's going to fall out," she says. + +Tim remembers that his tooth fell out last month. He knows how it feels. He wants to help Amy. He thinks of something. + +"Don't worry, Amy. I have an idea. Come with me," he says. He takes her hand and leads her to their house. He picks up the teddy bear and gives it to her. "Here, hug this. It will make you feel better. It's soft and comfortable." + +Amy hugs the teddy bear and smiles. She feels a little better. She thanks Tim. "You're a good brother, Tim. Thank you for the teddy bear. It's very comfortable." + +They sit on the floor and cuddle the teddy bear. They wait for their tooth to fall out. They hope the tooth fairy will come and give them a coin. They are still happy. +Tom and Lily like to sing. They sing at home, at school, and in the park. One day, they see a big poster with a picture of people singing. The poster says "Opera". Tom and Lily do not know what opera is, but they want to find out. + +They ask their mom if they can go to the opera. Their mom says yes, but they have to dress nice and be quiet. Tom and Lily put on their best clothes and follow their mom to the big building. They see many people sitting in chairs and looking at a stage. They hear music and voices. + +Tom and Lily try to listen, but they do not understand the words. The people on the stage sing very loud and very high. They wear funny clothes and make funny faces. Sometimes they are happy, sometimes they are sad, sometimes they are angry. Tom and Lily get bored and restless. They want to sing too, but their mom tells them to shush. + +After a long time, the music stops and the people on the stage bow. The people in the chairs clap and cheer. The opera is over. Tom and Lily are glad. They do not like opera. They like their own songs better. + +They run outside and see a big yellow bus. The bus has a sign that says "Sing Along". Tom and Lily smile and jump on the bus. They see a man with a guitar and a microphone. He says hello and asks them what they want to sing. Tom and Lily say their favorite song. The man plays the guitar and sings with them. Tom and Lily sing loud and happy. They like the bus. They like the man. They like to sing. They forget about the opera. They have fun. The end. +Sara and Ben were playing in the living room. They saw a white ashtray on the table. It was shiny and round. Sara wanted to touch it. She said to Ben, "Let's play with the ashtray. It looks like a toy." + +Ben shook his head. He said, "No, Sara. That is not a toy. That is for grown-ups. Mommy and Daddy told us not to touch it. They said it is dirty and dangerous. We have to promise them to be good." + +Sara did not listen. She said, "I don't care. I want to see what it is. It is pretty and smooth. I promise I will be careful." She reached for the ashtray. + +Ben tried to stop her. He said, "Sara, don't do it. You will break your promise. You will make Mommy and Daddy angry. You will hurt yourself." He grabbed her hand. + +But Sara was too fast. She pulled her hand away. She lifted the ashtray. She did not know it was heavy. She dropped it on the floor. It broke into many pieces. Some pieces cut her hand. She cried out loud. + +Mommy and Daddy heard the noise. They ran to the living room. They saw the broken ashtray and the blood on Sara's hand. They were very upset. They said, "Sara, what did you do? Why did you touch the ashtray? Why did you break your promise? You are in big trouble. You are naughty and foolish." + +Sara felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy and Daddy. I was curious. I wanted to play with the ashtray. I thought it was a toy. I did not mean to break it. I did not mean to hurt myself. Please forgive me." + +Mommy and Daddy hugged her. They said, "We forgive you, Sara. But you have to learn your lesson. You have to listen to us. You have to keep your promise. You have to be good. The ashtray is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. It is dirty and dangerous. You have to stay away from it. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "I understand, Mommy and Daddy. I will not touch the ashtray again. I will keep my promise. I will be good. I love you." + +Mommy and Daddy kissed her. They said, "We love you too, Sara. But you have to go to bed early tonight. You have to rest your hand. You have to be careful next time." + +Sara and Ben went to bed. They said good night to each other. Sara said, "Ben, thank you for trying to stop me. You are a good brother. You are smart and kind." + +Ben said, "You're welcome, Sara. You are a good sister. You are brave and sorry. I hope your hand gets better soon." + +They fell asleep. They dreamed of happy things. They learned their lesson. They kept their promise. They were good. +Sara and Ben are playing in the yard. They see a big box with some wood and nails. Sara wants to make a house for her doll. Ben wants to make a car for his toy. + +"Let me have some nails," Sara says to Ben. "I need them for my house." + +"No, I need them for my car," Ben says to Sara. "You have enough wood." + +They start to pull and tug at the nails. One nail falls on the ground. Sara picks it up and puts it in her mouth. + +"Yuck!" Sara says. "This nail is bitter. It tastes bad." + +Ben laughs at Sara. "Why did you put the nail in your mouth? Nails are not for eating. They are for building." + +Sara spits out the nail. She feels silly. She does not like the bitter taste. + +"Sorry, Ben," Sara says. "I was curious. Can we share the nails?" + +"Okay, Sara," Ben says. "We can share the nails. But don't eat them again. They are not good for you." + +Sara and Ben smile at each other. They start to build their house and car. They have fun with the wood and nails. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big hill with flowers and grass. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go!" Tom says. He runs up the hill fast. He is very strong and brave. + +Lily tries to follow him, but she is slow. She has small legs and gets tired easily. She stops to catch her breath. She sees a butterfly on a flower. She kneels down to look at it. It is yellow and black and very pretty. + +"Wow, a butterfly!" Lily says. She reaches out her hand to touch it. But the butterfly flies away. Lily feels sad. + +"Where are you, Lily?" Tom calls from the top of the hill. He looks down and sees Lily kneeling on the ground. He thinks she is hurt. He runs down the hill to help her. + +"Lily, are you okay?" Tom asks. He puts his hand on her shoulder. He is very kind and caring. + +"I'm okay, Tom. I just saw a butterfly. But it flew away." Lily says. She looks up at him and smiles. + +"Don't worry, Lily. There are more butterflies on the other side of the hill. Come on, I'll show you." Tom says. He helps Lily stand up. He holds her hand and they walk up the hill together. They are very happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a stream that ran through it. Sometimes they would get sticks and leaves and make boats to float on the water. They also liked to get rocks and splash them in the stream. + +One day, they decided to have a race with their boats. They each got a stick and a leaf and tied them together with a string. They went to the stream and put their boats in the water. "Ready, set, go!" Lily said, and they let go of their strings. + +The boats started to move with the current, but Ben's boat was faster. He was cheerful and shouted, "I'm going to win! I'm going to win!" Lily was sad and tried to catch up, but her boat was slower. She said, "No fair! Your boat is bigger than mine!" + +They followed their boats along the stream, until they reached a bend. There was a big log that blocked part of the water. Ben's boat hit the log and got stuck. He said, "Oh no! My boat is trapped!" Lily's boat was smaller and went under the log. She said, "Yay! My boat is free!" She ran to the other side of the log and got her boat. She was cheerful and shouted, "I won! I won!" + +Ben was sad and tried to get his boat, but he couldn't reach it. He said, "Help me, Lily! Help me get my boat!" Lily felt sorry for him and said, "OK, Ben. I'll help you." She got a long stick and used it to push Ben's boat off the log. She gave it to him and said, "Here you go, Ben. Here's your boat." + +Ben was happy and said, "Thank you, Lily! You're a good sister!" Lily said, "You're welcome, Ben! You're a good brother!" They hugged and smiled. They decided to play with their boats together, instead of racing. They had fun and were cheerful. They liked the stream and each other. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a shiny silver ring on the ground. Lily picked it up and put it on her finger. "Look, Max, I found a pretty ring!" she said. + +Max wanted the ring too. He tried to pull it off Lily's finger, but it was too tight. "Give it to me, Lily, it's mine!" he said. + +Lily and Max started to fight over the ring. They did not see an elderly lady walking towards them. The lady was the owner of the ring. She had dropped it by accident when she was feeding the ducks. + +The lady saw the twins fighting and felt sad. She walked up to them and said, "Hello, children, why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Max stopped fighting and looked at the lady. They saw that she had a kind face and a gentle voice. They felt ashamed of their behavior. + +The lady said, "This ring is very special to me. It was a gift from my husband, who passed away last year. I was very sad when I lost it, but I'm happy that you found it. Thank you for protecting it for me." + +Lily and Max realized that the ring was not theirs to keep. They felt sorry for the lady and wanted to make her happy. Lily took off the ring and gave it back to the lady. She said, "We're sorry, ma'am, we didn't know it was yours. Here, you can have it back. We hope it makes you smile." + +The lady smiled and thanked Lily and Max. She said, "You are very kind and honest children. I'm glad you learned to share and respect other people's things. That is a very important lesson. Here, you can have these cookies as a reward." + +The lady gave Lily and Max some cookies from her bag. They thanked her and ate the cookies. They felt happy and proud of themselves. They learned to protect what is precious, but also to let go of what is not theirs. They also learned to be nice to elderly people, who have a lot of wisdom and stories to tell. They hugged the lady and said goodbye. They went back to playing in the park, but this time, they played together and shared their toys. +Lily liked to write in her diary every day. She wrote about what she did, what she saw, and what she felt. She had a pink diary with a lock and a key. She kept it in her drawer under her bed. + +One day, her brother Tom found her diary. He was curious and wanted to read it. He tried to open the lock with a paper clip, but he could not. He got angry and tore the cover of the diary. He threw it on the floor and left. + +Lily came back from school and saw her diary on the floor. She was sad and cried. She picked up her diary and saw that the cover was ripped. She could not write in it anymore. She ran to her mom and showed her what Tom did. + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, honey. That was very mean of Tom. He should not have touched your diary. It is yours and it is private. I will talk to him and make him apologize." + +Mom also said, "I have an idea. Why don't we get you a new diary? A modern one. It is a diary that you can write on a tablet. You can use your finger or a pen to write. You can also draw pictures and add stickers. And the best part is, you can make a password to protect your diary. No one can read it without your permission." + +Lily liked the idea. She said, "Thank you, mom. That sounds fun and cool. Can we go to the store and get one today?" + +Mom said, "Yes, we can. But first, let me suggest something. Why don't you write a note to Tom and tell him how you feel? Maybe he will understand and be sorry. And maybe he will also learn to respect your things." + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "OK, mom. I will try. I hope he will be nice to me and my diary." + +Mom smiled and said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You are a good sister and a good writer. Come on, let's go get your new diary." +Tom and Lily were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were brave hunters, looking for animals to catch. They had a bow and arrow made of sticks and string, and a basket to put their prey in. + +"Look, Tom, a rabbit!" Lily whispered, pointing to a brown furry thing hopping among the bushes. "Let's get it!" + +Tom nodded and aimed his bow. He pulled the string and let go. The arrow flew through the air and hit the rabbit. It fell to the ground, not moving. + +"Wow, you did it, Tom! You're a powerful hunter!" Lily cheered, running to the rabbit. She picked it up and put it in the basket. "Let's find more!" + +Tom nodded again and followed her. He felt proud and happy. He did not see the pair of yellow eyes watching them from behind a tree. + +The eyes belonged to a wolf. It was hungry and angry. It had been hunting the rabbit, but the children had taken it away. It did not like that. It wanted to teach them a lesson. It waited for the right moment to attack. + +Tom and Lily walked deeper into the woods, looking for more animals. They did not notice the wolf sneaking behind them, getting closer and closer. + +Suddenly, the wolf jumped out of the bushes and growled. It showed its sharp teeth and claws. It was big and scary. + +Tom and Lily screamed and dropped their basket. They turned around and saw the wolf. They were very afraid. They did not know what to do. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "There's a wolf!" + +The wolf snarled and lunged at them. It wanted to bite them and make them hurt. + +But then, something else jumped out of the bushes. It was a dog. It was big and strong. It barked and ran to the wolf. It bit the wolf's tail and pulled it away from the children. + +The wolf yelped and turned to face the dog. It was angry and surprised. It did not expect another animal to fight it. It tried to shake off the dog, but the dog held on. + +The dog and the wolf fought for a long time. They bit and scratched and growled. They made a lot of noise. + +Tom and Lily watched the fight. They were still afraid, but they hoped the dog would win. They liked the dog. It was brave and friendly. It had saved them from the wolf. + +The dog was powerful. It was stronger and smarter than the wolf. It pushed the wolf to the ground and pinned it down. It barked loudly, telling the wolf to go away and never come back. + +The wolf was scared and hurt. It knew it had lost. It whimpered and nodded. It agreed to leave the children alone. It crawled away, limping and bleeding. + +The dog watched the wolf go. It made sure it was gone. Then it turned to the children and wagged its tail. It licked their faces and nuzzled their hands. It was happy and proud. It had protected them from the wolf. + +Tom and Lily hugged the dog and thanked it. They were happy and grateful. They had made a new friend. They called the dog Hero. + +They took Hero with them and went back to their home. They told their parents what had happened. Their parents were shocked and relieved. They praised Tom and Lily for being brave and smart. They welcomed Hero into their family. + +Tom and Lily smiled and nodded. They were glad and lucky. They had a powerful hunter, a brave protector, and a loyal friend. They had Hero. +Jenny was miserable. She did not want to pack her toys and clothes. She did not want to leave her home and her friends. She did not want to go with the woman who said she was her new mom. + +The woman came to Jenny's room and saw her crying on the bed. She tried to be nice and smiled. She said, "Jenny, I know this is hard for you, but we have to pack your things. We have to go to the airport soon. You will like your new home, I promise. You will have a big room and a garden and a dog. And I will love you very much." + +Jenny did not look at the woman. She did not believe her. She said, "You are not my mom. My mom is in heaven. She loved me more than anyone. She gave me this bear and this book and this necklace. I want to stay here with them. I don't want to go with you." + +The woman felt sad. She did not know how to make Jenny happy. She said, "Jenny, I'm sorry you lost your mom. She was very brave and kind. She wanted you to be happy and safe. She asked me to take care of you and to be your new mom. I can never replace her, but I can try to be a good mom to you. Please, give me a chance. Please, pack your things and come with me." + +Jenny looked at the woman. She saw tears in her eyes. She felt a little sorry for her. She said, "OK, I will pack my things. But I will always miss my mom. And I will always keep her bear and her book and her necklace. They are mine." + +The woman nodded. She said, "Of course, they are yours. You can keep them forever. And you can always talk to me about your mom. I will listen and understand. Now, let's pack your things and go. We have a big adventure ahead of us." + +Jenny got off the bed and picked up her bear. She hugged it and whispered, "I love you, mom." Then she followed the woman to pack her things. She was still miserable, but she was also curious. Maybe the woman was telling the truth. Maybe she would like her new home. Maybe she would find a new friend. Maybe she would be happy again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new path in the park. It is brown and soft. They want to see where it goes. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben says. He runs on the path. Lily follows him. + +The path goes up and down. It goes past trees and flowers. It goes to a pond. The pond is big and blue. There are ducks and fish in the pond. + +"Wow, look at the pond!" Lily says. She sees a duck with yellow and green feathers. She wants to touch it. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Ben says. He sees a sign. The sign has a picture of a person falling in the water. The sign says "No". Ben knows that means "Do not do it". + +But Lily does not see the sign. She goes closer to the duck. She reaches out her hand. The duck is scared. It quacks and flaps its wings. It splashes water on Lily. + +"Ahh!" Lily screams. She falls in the pond. She is wet and cold. She cries. + +"Help, help!" Ben shouts. He runs to Lily. He pulls her out of the pond. He hugs her. + +"It's okay, Lily. I'm here. You're safe." Ben says. He is wet too. He is a good friend. + +They go back to the path. They see a bench. There is a lady on the bench. She has a bottle of water and a towel. She is kind. + +"Hello, children. You look wet. Do you want some water and a towel?" The lady says. + +"Yes, please. Thank you." Lily and Ben say. They drink some water. They dry themselves with the towel. They feel better. + +They say goodbye to the lady. They go back to their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms are glad they are okay. They give them a hug and a kiss. + +Lily and Ben are still friends. They still like to play in the park. But they do not go near the pond anymore. They learned their lesson. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a big spider and showed it to Max. + +"Look, Max, a spider!" Lily said. + +Max was scared of spiders. He screamed and ran away. + +Lily laughed. "Don't be scared, Max. It's a fake spider. I made it with clay and sticks. See?" She held the spider in her hand and moved its legs. + +Max stopped running and came back. He looked at the spider. It did look fake. He felt silly for being scared. + +"Can I see it?" Max asked. + +"Sure, here you go." Lily gave the spider to Max. + +Max took the spider and looked at it closely. He touched its legs and body. It felt hard and cold. + +Suddenly, the spider moved. It was not fake. It was real. It bit Max on his finger. + +Max screamed again. He dropped the spider and ran to his mom. His finger hurt and swelled. + +Lily was shocked. She did not know the spider was real. She thought she made it with clay and sticks. She did not mean to hurt Max. + +She ran after Max and said sorry. But Max was angry and sad. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He went inside with his mom. + +Lily was left alone in the garden. She felt bad and scared. She did not like spiders anymore. She wished she never found the spider. She wished she never played that trick on Max. She wished she could make Max happy again. But she did not know how. She cried. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they want to perform a show for their moms. Lily is a princess and Ben is a dragon. + +They make a stage with chairs and a blanket. They find costumes and props. Lily wears a crown and a dress. Ben wears a green shirt and a mask. He has a tail and spikes on his head. + +They are eager to start. They say to their moms, "Please sit and watch our show. It is very fun and exciting." + +Their moms sit and smile. They clap their hands. Lily and Ben begin their show. + +Lily says, "Hello, I am Princess Lily. I live in a castle. I am looking for a friend. Who are you?" + +Ben says, "Roar! I am Dragon Ben. I live in a cave. I am looking for a snack. You look tasty!" + +Lily says, "Oh no! Please don't eat me. I can be your friend. We can play and share. Do you like flowers?" + +Ben says, "Hmm. I don't know. I never tried flowers. I only eat meat. But you are very nice. Maybe we can be friends." + +Lily says, "Yay! Let's be friends. Here, have a flower. It smells good. And I have a cake. We can eat it together." + +Ben says, "Thank you. You are very kind. The flower is pretty. And the cake is yummy. I like you, Princess Lily." + +Lily says, "I like you too, Dragon Ben. You are very brave and funny. We are the best friends ever." + +They hug and smile. Their moms cheer and clap. They say, "Bravo! Bravo! What a wonderful show. You are very talented and creative. We are so proud of you." + +Lily and Ben bow and say, "Thank you. Thank you. We are happy you liked our show. We had so much fun." + +They run to their moms and give them big hugs and kisses. They are happy and proud. They love to perform. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and clothes. But their room is very messy. Mommy is not happy. + +"Look at this mess!" Mommy says. "You need to organize your things. Put your toys in the box, your books on the shelf, and your clothes in the closet. Then you can have a snack." + +Lily and Ben nod. They want a snack. They start to organize their things. Lily puts her dolls in the box. Ben puts his cars in the box. They put their books on the shelf. They put their clothes in the closet. + +But they still have one thing left. It is a big mattress. They use it to jump and roll and pretend. They do not know where to put it. + +"Mommy, where do we put the mattress?" Lily asks. + +Mommy thinks. She says, "Why don't you put it under your bed? Then you can take it out when you want to play. But you have to put it back when you are done. OK?" + +Lily and Ben think. They say, "OK, Mommy. That is a good idea." They lift the mattress and slide it under their bed. It fits. Their room is now normal and tidy. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben!" Mommy says. "You organized your room very well. Now you can have a snack. What do you want?" + +Lily and Ben smile. They say, "We want cookies and milk, please!" + +Mommy smiles. She says, "OK, cookies and milk it is. Come to the kitchen. I love you, Lily and Ben." + +Lily and Ben say, "We love you, Mommy." They run to the kitchen. They are happy. They organized their room and they get a snack. They are good twins. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She would wipe the table with a cloth, or stir the soup with a spoon, or put the plates on the tray. She felt very happy when her mom said she was a good helper. + +One day, her mom was making a salad with beans and cheese and lettuce. Anna wanted to help, so she asked her mom if she could wash the beans. Her mom said yes, and gave her a bowl of water and a colander. Anna poured the beans into the water and swished them around. Then she lifted the colander and drained the water. She did this three times, until the water was clear. + +She was about to put the beans in the salad bowl, when she saw a tiny green worm on one of the beans. She was not scared of the worm, but she did not want it in the salad. She picked up the bean with the worm and showed it to her mom. Her mom said, "Good eye, Anna! That worm is not good for us. Let's put it outside, where it can find some leaves to eat." + +Anna nodded and followed her mom to the door. She gently put the bean with the worm on the grass and said, "Bye-bye, worm. Have a nice day." Then she went back to the kitchen and finished helping her mom with the salad. + +Anna was a modest girl. She did not brag about finding the worm, or how well she washed the beans. She just smiled and said, "I like helping you, mom." Her mom hugged her and said, "I like having you as my helper, Anna. You are very smart and kind." Anna felt very happy and proud. She could not wait to eat the salad with her mom and dad. +Sara was very happy. She had a new doll. The doll had a pink dress and long hair. Sara named her doll Lily. She wanted to play with Lily all day. + +But Sara had a little brother, Tom. Tom liked to take Sara's toys. He wanted to play with Lily too. He did not ask Sara. He just grabbed Lily from Sara's hands. + +"Tom, no!" Sara shouted. "Lily is mine! Give her back!" + +Tom ran away with Lily. He laughed. He did not care that Sara was sad. He wanted to have fun with Lily. + +Sara chased Tom. She wanted to get Lily back. She was afraid that Tom would break Lily. Lily was new and Sara loved her. + +She saw Tom near the stairs. He was about to throw Lily down the stairs. Sara ran faster. She reached Tom and grabbed Lily. She pulled Lily away from Tom. + +"Stop, Tom!" Sara said. "You are bad! You could hurt Lily! She is not for throwing!" + +Sara hugged Lily. She checked her body. She was glad that Lily was not broken. She was still new and pretty. + +Tom was angry. He wanted to play with Lily. He did not like that Sara prevented him. He tried to take Lily again. + +But Sara was stronger. She held Lily tight. She did not let Tom have her. + +"Go away, Tom!" Sara said. "Lily is mine! You have your own toys! Play with them!" + +Tom cried. He did not like to lose. He did not like to share. He did not like Sara. + +Sara did not care. She was happy. She had Lily. She went to her room. She played with Lily. She was nice to Lily. She was a good sister to Lily. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the park. They see a stream. The stream is blue and shiny. It makes a nice sound. + +"Look, Ben, a stream!" Anna says. "Can we play with it?" + +"OK, Anna, but be careful. Don't fall in the water," Ben says. + +They run to the stream. They see some stones and sticks. They throw them in the water. They watch them splash and float. They laugh and clap. + +They find a big stone. It is flat and smooth. It is near the stream. It is attractive. + +"Let's lay on the stone, Anna. It is warm and sunny," Ben says. + +"OK, Ben, that sounds good," Anna says. + +They lay on the stone. They feel the sun on their skin. They hear the stream and the birds. They close their eyes. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swing. They take turns and push each other. + +One day, they see a new swing in the park. It is big and shiny. It has a seat for two. Anna and Ben want to try it. But there is a problem. There are many kids in the park. They all want to try the new swing too. + +Anna has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's organize the kids. We can make a line. Then everyone can have a turn on the new swing. We can be the leaders." + +Ben likes the idea. He says, "OK, let's do it. You can talk to the kids. I can make a sign. It can say, 'Line for the new swing. Wait your turn.'" + +Anna and Ben work together. They talk to the kids. They make a sign. They organize the line. The kids listen to them. They wait their turn. Anna and Ben are happy. They are good leaders. + +Finally, it is their turn. They sit on the new swing. They hold hands. They swing high and fast. They laugh and smile. They have fun. + +They do not know that the new swing is cheap. It is not strong. It is not safe. It breaks. Anna and Ben fall. They cry. They are hurt. + +The end. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big hat on a bench. It is red and blue and has a star on it. + +"Wow, look at this hat!" Tim says. "It is so cool. I want to wear it." + +"No, I want to wear it!" Sam says. "It is my turn. You always get the best things." + +They both grab the hat and pull it. The hat is big and stretchy. It does not break, but it gets bigger and bigger. + +"Stop it!" Tim says. "You are hurting the hat. Let go!" + +"Never!" Sam says. "It is mine. You let go!" + +They do not see the old man who is sitting on the bench. He is deaf. He cannot hear them. He is reading a book. He does not know that the hat is his. He left it on the bench when he went to get some water. + +The old man looks up from his book. He sees Tim and Sam fighting over his hat. He is angry. He stands up and walks to them. He takes the hat from their hands. He puts it on his head. It is very big now. It covers his eyes and ears. He cannot see or hear anything. + +"Hey, that is our hat!" Tim and Sam say. "Give it back!" + +But the old man does not hear them. He does not see them. He walks away with his hat. He thinks he is going home. But he is not. He is going to the pond. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They lost the hat. They feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to play something else. They hope the old man will be okay. They do not know that he is going to fill his hat with water. +Tom and Anna were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some steel spoons. They wanted to see what would happen if they soaked the spoons in the water. + +"Look, Anna, the spoons are shiny!" Tom said, holding one up to the sun. + +"Yes, they are beautiful!" Anna agreed, admiring the reflection. + +They put the spoons back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some rocks, some leaves, some flowers and some toys. They threw them all in the bucket and watched the water splash. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tom said, laughing. + +"Let's see what else we can find!" Anna said, running to the house. + +They came back with some books, some clothes, some paper and some crayons. They dumped them in the bucket and stirred them with the spoons. + +"Look, Anna, the books are wet!" Tom said, pulling one out. + +"Yes, they are soggy!" Anna said, squeezing the water out. + +They put the books back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some bread, some cheese, some fruit and some cake. They tossed them in the bucket and mixed them with the spoons. + +"Look, Tom, the bread is soft!" Anna said, breaking a piece. + +"Yes, they are mushy!" Tom said, tasting a bit. + +They put the bread back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some soap, some shampoo, some toothpaste and some perfume. They squirted them in the bucket and whisked them with the spoons. + +"Look, Anna, the water is bubbly!" Tom said, blowing some bubbles. + +"Yes, they are pretty!" Anna said, catching some bubbles. + +They put the soap back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some coins, some keys, some rings and some earrings. They dropped them in the bucket and shook them with the spoons. + +"Look, Tom, the coins are shiny!" Anna said, picking one up. + +"Yes, they are beautiful!" Tom said, putting one in his pocket. + +They put the coins back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some pictures, some cards, some letters and some drawings. They slid them in the bucket and stirred them with the spoons. + +"Look, Anna, the pictures are wet!" Tom said, holding one up. + +"Yes, they are ruined!" Anna said, crying. + +They put the pictures back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some scissors, some knives, some forks and some needles. They threw them in the bucket and swirled them with the spoons. + +"Look, Tom, the scissors are sharp!" Anna said, cutting a spoon. + +"Yes, they are dangerous!" Tom said, cutting his finger. + +They put the scissors back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some matches, some candles, some fireworks and some lighters. They tossed them in the bucket and flicked them with the spoons. + +"Look, Anna, the matches are lit!" Tom said, lighting a candle. + +"Yes, they are hot!" Anna said, burning her hand. + +They put the matches back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some mom, some dad, some grandma and some grandpa. They dragged them to the bucket and pushed them with the spoons. + +"Look, Tom, the mom is wet!" Anna said, splashing her mom. + +"Yes, they are angry!" Tom said, splashing his dad. + +They put the mom back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some police, some firemen, some doctors and some teachers. They ran to the bucket and threw them with the spoons. + +"Look, Anna, the police are here!" Tom said, pointing to the police. + +"Yes, they are mad!" Anna said, pointing to the firemen. + +They put the police back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some judge, some jury, some lawyer and some prison. They walked to the bucket and dropped them with the spoons. + +"Look, Tom, the judge is here!" Anna said, looking at the judge. + +"Yes, they are serious!" Tom said, looking at the jury. + +They put the judge back in the bucket and went to get some more things to soak. They found some sorry, some please, some thank you and some forgive. They crawled to the bucket and whispered them with the spoons. + +"Look, Anna, the sorry is here!" Tom said, saying sorry. + +"Yes, they are important!" Anna said, saying please. + +They put the sorry back in the bucket and +Sara loves to sing. She sings every day with her mom and dad. They sing happy songs and silly songs and sleepy songs. Sara likes her voice. It makes her feel good. + +One day, Sara wakes up and her voice is gone. She tries to sing, but only a whisper comes out. She feels sad and scared. She runs to her mom and dad. They hug her and kiss her. + +"What's wrong, Sara?" mom asks. + +"I can't sing, mom. My voice is gone. It hurts here." Sara points to her throat. + +"Oh, Sara. You have a sore throat. It's not a big problem. It happens sometimes. You need to drink some water and rest your voice. It will come back soon. We love you, Sara." dad says. + +Sara nods and drinks some water. She cuddles with her mom and dad on the couch. They read her a story and rub her back. Sara feels a little better. She knows her voice will come back. She knows her mom and dad love her. She loves them too. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not organize them well. They left them all over the floor, on the bed, and in the closet. Their mom was not happy with them. She told them to clean up their room or they would not get any dessert. + +Sam and Tom did not want to miss dessert, so they started to organize their toys. They put some in a big box, some in a small box, and some in a bag. They tried to do it fast, but they also argued a lot. Sam wanted to keep the monkey toy, but Tom wanted it too. They both said it was theirs and pulled on it. + +"Give me the monkey, it is mine!" Sam shouted. + +"No, it is mine, I got it first!" Tom shouted back. + +They pulled harder and harder, until the monkey toy ripped in half. They both gasped and looked at the broken toy. They felt sad and sorry. They liked the monkey toy, even though it was cheap and old. They wished they had not fought over it. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the mess and the ripped monkey toy. She was very angry with them. She said they were naughty and careless. She said they did not deserve dessert or any toys. She took away all their toys and put them in a locked cabinet. She told them to go to bed without dinner. + +Sam and Tom cried and hugged each other. They said they were sorry and that they loved each other. They hoped their mom would forgive them and give them back their toys. They hoped they could fix the monkey toy and play with it again. They learned a hard lesson about organizing and sharing. +Lily and Max were bored. They had no toys to play with. Mom was busy in the kitchen. She told them to be good and not make a mess. + +They saw a big pile of magazines on the table. They looked shiny and colorful. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They took the magazines and opened them. They saw pictures of people and animals and things. Some of them had words, but they could not read them. + +"Look, Max, this is a dog!" Lily said, pointing to a photo of a fluffy white dog. + +"That's not a real dog, Lily. That's a fake dog. It's too small and too clean. Real dogs are big and dirty and bark," Max said, shaking his head. + +"No, it's a real dog. It's just a different kind of dog. Maybe it's a baby dog. It's so cute. I want a dog like that," Lily said, hugging the magazine. + +They started to argue about the dog. They raised their voices and pulled the magazine. They tore the pages and made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the table. She saw the magazines and the papers everywhere. She was angry. + +"What are you doing? You spoiled the magazines! These are not for you. These are for grown-ups. They have important things in them. You are very naughty. Go to your room now!" Mom said, scolding them. + +Lily and Max felt sorry. They did not mean to spoil the magazines. They just wanted to have some fun. They said sorry to Mom and went to their room. They decided to play with their own toys and not touch the magazines again. +Sam and Lily are playing in the sand near the water. They are making a big castle with shells and sticks. They are happy and having fun. + +"Look, Sam, I found a big shell!" Lily says, holding up a shiny pink shell. "Can we put it on the castle?" + +"Yes, Lily, it is very pretty. Let's put it on the top," Sam says, taking the shell from Lily. He climbs up the castle and places the shell on the highest point. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud splash from the water. They turn around and see a big fish with sharp teeth and a fin. It is a shark! The shark is swimming fast towards them. They are scared and want to run away. + +"Help! Help! Shark!" Sam and Lily scream, dropping their buckets and shovels. They start to run to the shore, but the sand is soft and they are slow. + +Then, they see a man with a big stick. He is wearing a hat and a shirt with a badge. He is a lifeguard. He hears their screams and sees the shark. He runs to the water and waves his stick at the shark. He yells at the shark to go away. + +The shark sees the man and the stick. It is afraid and does not want to fight. It turns around and swims away. It leaves Sam and Lily alone. + +The lifeguard reaches Sam and Lily and picks them up. He carries them to the shore and puts them down. He checks if they are hurt and gives them a hug. + +"Are you okay, kids? That was a close call. You are very brave," he says, smiling. + +Sam and Lily are okay, but they are still shaking. They realize that the lifeguard saved them from the shark. They are very thankful and happy. + +"Thank you, mister. You are very helpful. You scared the shark away," Sam says, looking at the lifeguard. + +"Yes, thank you, mister. You are our hero. You made us safe," Lily says, hugging the lifeguard. + +The lifeguard smiles and hugs them back. He tells them to stay away from the water and to play in the sand. He gives them a whistle and a badge to remember him by. He tells them to be careful and have fun. + +Sam and Lily nod and say goodbye to the lifeguard. They go back to their castle and finish it. They put the whistle and the badge on the shell. They are proud of their castle and of themselves. They are happy and having fun. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play pirates. They have a big box that is their ship. They put a flag on it and some toys inside. + +One day, Tom says to Lily, "Let's invite Sam to play with us. He has a cool hat and a sword. He can be our captain." + +Lily nods and says, "Okay, let's go find him. He lives near the port. Maybe we can see some real ships there." + +They take their box and walk to Sam's house. They see Sam in his yard. He is wearing his hat and his sword. He smiles when he sees them. + +"Hi, Tom and Lily. Do you want to play pirates with me?" he asks. + +"Yes, we do. We have a ship. You can be our captain. Come with us," Tom says. + +They all go to the port. They see many big ships. Some are white, some are black, some have flags, some have guns. They hear horns and bells and shouts. + +"Wow, look at all the ships. They are so big and loud. Are they pirates too?" Lily asks. + +Sam shakes his head. He says, "No, they are not pirates. They are sailors. They work on the ships. They go to far places and bring back things. Some things are good, some things are bad. Some ships are friendly, some ships are dangerous." + +"How do you know which ones are dangerous?" Tom asks. + +Sam points to a black ship. He says, "That one is dangerous. It has a skull and bones on its flag. That means it is a bad ship. It steals from other ships. It has many guns and knives. It has mean men on it. We should stay away from it." + +Tom and Lily nod. They agree. They do not want to go near the bad ship. They want to play with their ship. They find a spot near the water. They put their box down. They get inside. They pretend to sail and fight and find treasure. They have fun. They are happy. They are pirates. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big pile of junk near the swings. They see old cans, bottles, boxes and clothes. + +"Look, Lily, we can make something with this junk!" Tom says. + +"What can we make, Tom?" Lily asks. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He sees a can with a string. He sees a box with a hole. He sees a bottle with a cap. + +"We can make a phone, Lily! A phone to talk to each other!" Tom says. + +He shows Lily how to make a phone. He puts the can with the string in the box with the hole. He puts the bottle with the cap on the other end of the string. He gives the bottle to Lily. + +"Hello, Lily, can you hear me?" Tom says into the can. + +"Hello, Tom, I can hear you!" Lily says into the bottle. + +They laugh and talk with their phone. They pretend to call their mom, their dad, their dog and their cat. + +"Tom, you are great at making things!" Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily, you are great at playing with me!" Tom says. + +They hug and smile. They remind each other of how much fun they have together. They are happy. +Lily liked to make models with her blocks. She made houses, cars, animals and more. She was very good at it. She wanted to show her models to everyone. + +One day, her teacher said there was a model contest at school. Lily was happy. She wanted to win a prize. She brought her best model, a big castle, to school. She put it on a table with other models. + +But then she saw Tom's model. It was a rocket. It was very tall and shiny. It had lights and sounds. Lily felt worried. She thought Tom's model was better than hers. She thought he would win the contest. + +She wanted to hide her model. She wanted to go home. She felt sad. + +But then her teacher came. She looked at all the models. She smiled. She said they were all very nice. She said everyone worked hard. She said everyone was a winner. + +She gave Lily a ribbon. It said "Best Castle". Lily felt happy. She was proud of her model. She did not care about Tom's rocket. She liked her castle. + +She thanked her teacher. She showed her ribbon to her friends. They said her model was awesome. They said they wanted to play with her blocks. + +Lily smiled. She was glad she entered the contest. She had fun. She learned something. She made new friends. She was a winner. +Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and books at home. But today, she had to go to school. She had to take an exam. She was scared. + +She put on her dress and shoes. She took her backpack. She said bye to her mom and dad. They gave her a hug and a kiss. They said, "You can do it, Lily. We are proud of you." + +She walked to the bus stop with her mom. She saw other kids. They were loud and happy. They talked and laughed. Lily hid behind her mom. She did not want to talk to them. + +The bus came. It was big and yellow. It made a loud noise. Lily held her mom's hand. She climbed on the bus. She looked for a seat. She saw a girl with curly hair and glasses. She smiled at Lily. She said, "Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to sit with me?" + +Lily was shy. She did not know what to say. She nodded. She sat next to Anna. Anna said, "Don't worry, the exam is easy. We just have to write our names and draw some pictures. Do you like to draw?" + +Lily liked to draw. She liked to draw flowers and stars and rainbows. She said, "Yes, I like to draw." + +Anna said, "Me too. What is your favorite color?" + +Lily said, "Pink." + +Anna said, "Mine is purple. We can be friends. Do you want to be friends?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, I want to be friends." + +The bus stopped. They heard a bell. It was a ring. It was time to go to school. Lily and Anna held hands. They walked to the classroom. They were not scared. They were happy. They had a new friend. +Bee loved to dance. She danced in the sun, she danced in the rain, she danced with her friends. She danced to say hello, she danced to say goodbye, she danced to say thank you. She danced because she was happy. + +One day, Bee found a big jar of honey. She was very hungry, and honey was her favorite food. She wanted to eat it all by herself. But then she remembered her friends. They were hungry too, and they also liked honey. She decided to be generous and share the honey with them. + +She flew back to her hive, carrying the jar of honey. She danced to tell her friends that she had a surprise for them. They followed her to a sunny spot, where she opened the jar of honey. They all cheered and thanked her. They took turns to dip their tongues in the honey and taste the sweet and sticky treat. They danced to show their joy and gratitude. + +Bee was very happy. She had shared her honey with her friends, and they had shared their happiness with her. She danced because she was generous. +Lily did not like math. Math was hard and boring. She had to count and write numbers and shapes. She did not want to do math. She wanted to play with her dolls and draw pictures. + +One day, her teacher gave her a math worksheet. Lily looked at it and said, "No, thank you. I do not like math. I do not want to do math." She pushed the worksheet away. + +Her teacher was not happy. She said, "Lily, you have to do math. Math is important. Math helps you learn and grow. You cannot play until you do math." + +Lily refused. She crossed her arms and said, "No, no, no. I do not have to do math. Math is not fun. Math is rough. It makes my head hurt. I want to play now." + +Her teacher sighed. She said, "Lily, math is not rough. Math is smooth and easy. If you try, you will see. Math can be fun. Math can make you happy. Math can show you many things. Please, do math with me." + +Lily thought for a moment. She looked at her teacher and said, "Really? Math can be fun? Math can make me happy? Math can show me many things?" + +Her teacher nodded. She said, "Yes, Lily. Math can do all that and more. Come, let me show you. Math is not so bad. Math is your friend." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Okay, teacher. I will try math. Maybe math is not so rough. Maybe math is smooth and easy. Maybe math is fun. Maybe math is my friend." She took the worksheet and started to do math. +Tom and Lily are playing in the living room. They like to jump on the big sofa and make funny noises. They also have many cushions of different colors and shapes. They use them to build forts and pretend they are in a castle. + +"Look, Lily, I have a red cushion and a blue cushion. They are very important. They are the king and the queen of the castle," Tom says, holding the cushions in his hands. + +"That's nice, Tom, but I have a yellow cushion and a green cushion. They are more important. They are the sun and the grass of the castle," Lily says, putting the cushions on the floor. + +"No, no, no, Lily, mine are more important. They are the rulers of the castle. They tell everyone what to do," Tom says, jumping on the sofa with his cushions. + +"No, no, no, Tom, mine are more important. They are the life of the castle. They make everyone happy and healthy," Lily says, jumping on the floor with her cushions. + +They start to argue and shout. They do not want to share their cushions. They do not want to play together. They are very angry and sad. + +Then, Mom comes in the living room. She sees Tom and Lily fighting over the cushions. She is not happy. She tells them to stop and listen. + +"Tom, Lily, why are you fighting? You have so many cushions. They are all important. They are all part of the castle. You can share them and play together. You can have more fun and be more kind," Mom says, sitting on the sofa. + +Tom and Lily look at Mom. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They do not want to fight.

One day, a nosy duck came to the lake and saw the ball. The duck wanted to play with the ball, too. He swam to the ball and grabbed it with his beak. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Lily shouted. "Give it back, duck!" + +But the duck did not listen. He swam away with the ball, quacking happily. Lily and Max were sad and angry. They tried to chase the duck, but he was too fast. + +"Let's unite and get our ball back," Max said. "You go this way, and I go that way. We can trap the duck in the middle." + +Lily nodded. She swam to the left, and Max swam to the right. They moved closer and closer to the duck, who did not see them. When they were near enough, they both jumped out of the water and grabbed the ball from the duck's beak. + +"Ha, we got it!" Lily and Max cheered. They hugged each other and swam back to the shore with their ball. + +The duck was surprised and sad. He had lost his new toy. He quacked sadly and swam away. + +Lily and Max felt sorry for the duck.

They played together in the lake, having fun. + +Lily and Max learned that it was better to unite and share than to fight and be selfish. The duck learned that it was not nice to be nosy and take things that did not belong to him. They became friends and swam in the lake every day. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a big house with many toys in the window. They wanted to go inside and play with the toys. + +They asked their mom if they could go to the big house. Their mom said no. She said the big house was not for them. She said it was a scary house. She said there was a mean man who lived there. He did not like children. He did not share his toys. + +But Tom and Sam did not listen to their mom. They waited until she was busy. Then they ran to the big house. They knocked on the door. They hoped the mean man was not home. + +But he was home. He opened the door. He saw Tom and Sam. He was angry. He said, "What do you want? Go away!" + +Tom and Sam were scared. They said, "We want to play with your toys. Please, can we play with your toys?" + +The mean man laughed. He said, "You want to play with my toys? You have to pay me money. Do you have money?" + +Tom and Sam said, "No, we don't have money. We are just children." + +The mean man said, "Then you have to work for me. You have to clean my house. You have to wash my dishes. You have to do everything I say. If you don't, I will lock you in the basement. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nodded. They were very scared. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had never gone to the big house. They wished they could go home. But it was too late. The mean man closed the door. He locked it. He took them to the basement. He made them work. He did not let them play with his toys. He did not let them go. He was very mean. Tom and Sam were very sad. They cried. They did not know what to do. They were trapped. +Lily loved to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She danced with her dolls, her teddy bear, and her mom. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. + +One day, Lily found a bracelet in her mom's drawer. It was shiny and colorful, with many beads and charms. Lily thought it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She put it on her wrist and felt like a princess. + +She ran to show her mom. "Mom, look at my bracelet! It is so pretty! Can I keep it?" she asked. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "That bracelet is very special, Lily. It was a gift from your grandma, who is in heaven now. She gave it to me when I was a little girl, like you. She said it was unique, just like me. And you are unique, too, Lily. You are my sweet and smart and brave girl." + +Lily felt warm and happy. She hugged her mom back and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love grandma, too. Can I dance with her bracelet?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Of course, Lily. You can dance with her bracelet. I think she would like that. She loved to dance, too. Just like you." + +Lily and mom danced together in the living room, with the bracelet sparkling on Lily's wrist. They danced with joy, with love, and with memory. They danced with grandma, too, in their hearts. +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily is a princess doll with a pink dress and a crown. Anna likes to pretend that Lily is the leader of all the dolls. She tells them what to do and where to go. + +One day, Anna decides to make a history book for her dolls. She takes some paper and a crayon and draws pictures of the dolls. She draws Lily as a baby, as a girl, and as a princess. She draws the other dolls as Lily's friends, helpers, and enemies. She writes some words under the pictures, like "Lily is born", "Lily meets Ted", and "Lily fights the dragon". + +Anna shows her history book to her mom. Mom is very proud of Anna. She says, "You are very organized, Anna. You made a nice history book for your dolls. You have a good imagination. Lily is a great leader." Anna smiles and hugs her mom. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love Lily. I love history." +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to jump on the swings, slide down the slide, and climb on the monkey bars. They also liked to look for mysteries. Mysteries were things that they did not know or understand. + +One day, they saw a big shiny car in the parking lot. It was red and had four doors and a long trunk. It looked very expensive. Sara and Ben wondered who owned the car and what was inside the trunk. + +"Maybe it is a spy car," Sara said. "Maybe it has a secret map or a laser gun in the trunk." + +"Or maybe it is a magic car," Ben said. "Maybe it can fly or turn invisible or talk to animals." + +They decided to go closer and look at the car. They jumped off the swings and ran across the grass. They reached the car and touched the door. It was smooth and cold. + +Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. "Hey, what are you doing?" It was a man in a suit and a hat. He looked angry. He was holding a briefcase. + +Sara and Ben were scared. They thought he was the spy or the magician who owned the car. They did not know what to say. + +"We were just looking at your car," Sara said. "It is very nice." + +"Nice? It is more than nice. It is expensive. It is the most expensive car in the world. And you have no business touching it. Now get away from here before I call the police." + +Sara and Ben did not want to get in trouble. They ran away from the car and the man. They did not look back. They did not want to see the car or the man ever again. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some mysteries are better left alone. And they learned that some cars are too expensive to touch. +Sara likes to draw pictures with her crayons. She has many colors and she makes animals, flowers and houses. She puts her pictures in a folder to keep them safe and neat. She is proud of her folder and she shows it to her friends. + +One day, she goes to the park with her mom and her brother. She sees a girl sitting on a bench with a book. The girl looks sad and bored. Sara wants to make her happy, so she walks to her and says hello. + +"Hi, I'm Sara. What is your name?" she asks. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. I'm waiting for my dad. He is late," the girl says. + +"I'm sorry. Do you want to play with me?" Sara says. + +"OK, what do you want to play?" Lily says. + +Sara thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She runs to her mom and asks for her folder. + +"Mom, can I show Lily my pictures? Maybe she will like them," she says. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful with your folder. Don't lose it or tear it," her mom says. + +Sara nods and takes her folder. She goes back to Lily and opens it. She shows her all her pictures and tells her what they are. + +"Wow, you are very good at drawing. I like your pictures. They are so colorful and pretty," Lily says. + +"Thank you. Do you want to draw with me? I have many crayons. You can use them," Sara says. + +"Really? That would be fun. Thank you for sharing," Lily says. + +Sara smiles and gives Lily some crayons. She finds a blank page in her folder and gives it to Lily. They start to draw together. They make a rainbow, a sun and a butterfly. They talk and laugh. They become friends. + +Sara's mom and brother watch them from a distance. They are happy to see Sara and Lily having fun. Sara's mom says to her brother: + +"Sara is very kind and generous. She likes to share and make others happy. She recommends her folder to Lily and lets her use her crayons. She is a good friend." + +"Yes, she is. And she is also very creative and talented. She draws very well. She has many pictures in her folder. She is a good artist," her brother says. + +They agree that Sara is a wonderful girl. They are proud of her. They wait for Lily's dad to come and pick her up. They hope that Sara and Lily will see each other again. They hope that they will keep drawing and playing together. They hope that they will always be friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a big box with a red bow. It is a gift from their grandma. + +They open the box and see a beautiful tea set. It has cups, saucers, spoons, and a teapot. The teapot is white with pink flowers. It is fragile. Lily and Ben are very happy. They say thank you to grandma on the phone. + +They decide to have a tea party with their stuffed animals. They put a tablecloth on the floor and arrange the tea set. They invite their teddy bear, their bunny, their puppy, and their kitty. They pretend to pour tea and serve cookies. They talk to their animals and have fun. + +Lily says, "I love you, teddy. You are my best friend. Do you want more tea?" + +Ben says, "I love you, puppy. You are so cute and soft. Do you want a cookie?" + +They share their love with their animals. They are very careful with the teapot. They do not want to break it. They know it is a special gift from grandma. They want to keep it safe. They are very happy. They have a wonderful tea party. +Lily wanted to have a tea party with her dolls. She had a pink table, a blue teapot and four cups. She also had some cookies and milk. She invited her best friend Anna to come and play with her. + +"Anna, do you want to come to my tea party?" Lily asked on the phone. + +"Yes, Lily, I love tea parties!" Anna said. "Can I bring my teddy bear?" + +"Of course, Anna, teddy bears are welcome too!" Lily said. "See you soon!" + +Lily set up the table and the chairs in her room. She put a cup and a cookie for each doll and teddy bear. She wore her expensive dress that her grandma gave her for her birthday. It was yellow and had flowers on it. She felt very pretty. + +Anna came to Lily's house with her teddy bear. She wore her expensive dress too. It was purple and had stars on it. She felt very pretty too. + +"Wow, Lily, your tea party looks wonderful!" Anna said. + +"Thank you, Anna, you look wonderful too!" Lily said. + +They sat down and poured some tea for their dolls and teddy bears. They pretended to sip and chat. They had a lot of fun. + +Suddenly, Lily heard a loud noise. It was her brother Tom. He ran into her room and bumped into the table. The teapot and the cups fell down and broke. The cookies and the milk spilled on the floor. Lily and Anna screamed. + +"Tom, you are so bad!" Lily said. "You ruined my tea party!" + +"Sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to!" Tom said. "I was chasing the cat and I tripped on my leg." + +Lily looked at Tom's leg. It had a big scratch and some blood. She felt sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"It hurts a little, but I'm okay," Tom said. + +Lily and Anna got up and hugged Tom. They helped him clean his leg and put a band-aid on it. + +"Tom, do you want to join our tea party?" Lily asked. + +"Really? Can I?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, Tom, you can," Lily said. "But you have to be careful and nice." + +"Okay, Lily, I will," Tom said. + +Lily and Anna smiled. They invited Tom to sit with them. They gave him a cookie and some water. They continued their tea party. They all felt happy. +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. But they also make a big mess. Toys are everywhere on the floor, on the couch, on the table. + +"Kids, it's time to clean up!" Mom says from the kitchen. "You have to put your toys back in the box and make the living room nice and tidy." + +Lily and Ben groan. They don't want to stop playing. They want to keep having fun. + +"Can we clean later, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"No, you have to clean now. It's almost dinner time and we have guests coming over. They will think we live in a pigsty if they see this mess." Mom says. + +Lily and Ben sigh. They start to pick up their toys and put them in the box. But Ben sees something weird on the floor. It's a small, shiny, round thing. He doesn't know what it is. He picks it up and looks at it. + +"Hey, Lily, look at this!" Ben says. "What is it?" + +Lily comes over and looks at the thing. She doesn't know what it is either. It looks like a coin, but it has a hole in the middle and some strange symbols on it. + +"Maybe it's a magic thing. Maybe it can make wishes come true." Lily says. + +"Really? Let's try it!" Ben says. + +They hold the thing together and close their eyes. They wish for something they really want. + +"I wish we don't have to clean anymore!" Ben says. + +"I wish we can have ice cream for dinner!" Lily says. + +They open their eyes and wait for their wish to come true. But nothing happens. The living room is still messy. Mom is still in the kitchen. The thing is still in their hands. + +"Maybe it's broken." Lily says. + +"Maybe it's not magic." Ben says. + +They shrug and put the thing in the box with the other toys. They finish cleaning up and go to the kitchen. Mom is happy to see them. + +"Good job, kids! You cleaned up very well. I'm proud of you." Mom says. + +She gives them a hug and a kiss. She tells them to wash their hands and get ready for dinner. + +"What are we having, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Spaghetti and meatballs. And guess what? We have ice cream for dessert!" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben smile. They love spaghetti and meatballs. And they love ice cream. Maybe the thing was magic after all. Or maybe they just got lucky. Either way, they are happy. They run to the bathroom and wash their hands. They can't wait for dinner. And they can't wait to play with their toys again. But next time, they will clean up faster. +Sam liked peaches. He liked to eat them when they were ripe and sweet. He liked to feel the fuzzy skin and the juicy flesh. He liked to spit out the big seed. + +One day, Sam saw a big basket of peaches on the table. He wanted to eat them all. He climbed on a chair and reached for the basket. But he was not careful. He knocked over the basket and the peaches fell on the floor. + +Sam heard a loud noise. It was his mom. She was angry. She saw the mess on the floor. She saw the peaches that were bruised and squashed. She saw Sam with a peach in his hand. + +She shouted at Sam. She said he was naughty and greedy. She said he wasted the peaches. She said he had to go to his room. She took the peach from his hand and threw it in the trash. + +Sam felt sad. He wanted to eat the peach. He wanted to say sorry. He wanted his mom to hug him. But he could not. His mom prevented him. She closed the door and left him alone. Sam cried. He did not like peaches anymore. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys on the carpet. The carpet is yellow and soft. Tom has a red truck and Anna has a blue doll. + +One day, Tom and Anna decide to put on a show for their moms. They make a stage with a big box and a curtain. Tom says, "I will be a fireman and save the doll from the fire." Anna says, "I will be a princess and thank the fireman for his help." + +They start their show. Tom makes a siren sound and drives his truck to the box. He pretends there is a fire and he uses a water bottle to spray it. Anna hides behind the curtain with her doll. She screams, "Help, help, my doll is in the fire!" + +Tom says, "Don't worry, princess, I will save you and your doll." He runs to the box and lifts the doll. He says, "Here is your doll, princess. She is safe now." He gives the doll to Anna. + +Anna says, "Thank you, fireman, you are very brave and kind." She hugs the doll and smiles. She says, "You are my hero." + +Tom and Anna bow to their moms. Their moms clap their hands and say, "Bravo, bravo, what a great show!" Tom and Anna feel happy and proud. They say, "Thank you, thank you, we love you!" They run to their moms and hug them. They all laugh and have fun. +Lily was very happy. Today was her birthday and she had a party. She invited her friends from the park and they played games, ate cake and opened presents. Lily got a new doll, a book and a puzzle. She hugged her friends and said thank you. + +But soon it was time to say goodbye. Lily's friends put on their coats and hats and went home with their parents. Lily waved to them and smiled. She had a lot of fun, but she was also very sleepy. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go to bed," her mom said. "You had a big day and you need to rest." + +"But mom, I want to remain with my toys," Lily said. "I want to play with my doll and read my book and do my puzzle." + +"I know, sweetie, but you can play with them tomorrow. You can't play well when you are sleepy. You will enjoy them more when you are fresh and awake," her mom said. She picked up Lily and carried her to her room. + +Lily snuggled with her mom and looked at her toys. They were so pretty and new. She wanted to remain with them, but she was also very sleepy. She closed her eyes and felt her mom kiss her forehead. + +"Good night, Lily. Happy birthday. I love you," her mom said. + +"Good night, mom. I love you too. And thank you for my party," Lily said. + +She fell asleep and dreamed of her toys and her friends and her party. She was very happy. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many leaves on the ground. Some are red, some are yellow, some are brown. + +"Look, Ben, this leaf is rough!" Mia says. She holds a big brown leaf in her hand. She rubs it on her cheek. It feels scratchy. + +"Can I see?" Ben asks. He wants to touch the leaf too. + +"OK, I will lend you my leaf. But be careful, it is rough!" Mia says. She gives the leaf to Ben. He rubs it on his cheek. He makes a funny face. + +"Ouch, you are right, Mia, this leaf is rough!" Ben says. He gives the leaf back to Mia. He looks for another leaf. + +"Here, Ben, this leaf is smooth!" Mia says. She finds a small yellow leaf. She rubs it on her cheek. It feels soft. + +"Can I see?" Ben asks. He wants to touch the leaf too. + +"OK, I will lend you my leaf. But be gentle, it is smooth!" Mia says. She gives the leaf to Ben. He rubs it on his cheek. He smiles. + +"Ah, you are right, Mia, this leaf is smooth!" Ben says. He gives the leaf back to Mia. He hugs her. + +"Thank you, Mia, for lending me your leaves. You are a good friend!" Ben says. + +"You are welcome, Ben, you are a good friend too!" Mia says. + +They hold hands and run to the swings. They are happy. +Lily and Anna wanted to bake a cake for their grandma, who was very elderly and kind. They asked their mom for help, and she gave them a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter. She told them to mix everything well and put it in a pan. + +"Can we add some chocolate?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, why not?" mom said. "But only a little bit, or it will be too sweet." + +Lily and Anna sprinkled some chocolate chips on top of the batter and smiled. They put the pan in the oven and waited for the cake to bake. + +While they waited, they found a veil in mom's closet. It was white and soft and had flowers on it. They put it on their heads and pretended to be brides. + +"You look pretty," Anna said to Lily. + +"So do you," Lily said to Anna. + +They danced around the room and giggled. + +Soon, the cake was ready. Mom took it out of the oven and let it cool. She helped Lily and Anna decorate it with some frosting and sprinkles. They wrote "Happy Birthday Grandma" on the cake with a blue icing pen. + +They put the cake on a plate and carried it to grandma's house, which was next door. They knocked on the door and grandma opened it. She was surprised and happy to see them. + +"Hello, my darlings," she said. "What a lovely surprise!" + +"We baked you a cake, grandma," Lily and Anna said together. + +They gave her the cake and hugged her. Grandma smiled and thanked them. She invited them inside and cut a slice of cake for each of them. They ate the cake and talked and laughed. + +Grandma said the cake was delicious and the best gift ever. She also said Lily and Anna looked beautiful with the veil. + +They told her they loved her very much and wished her a happy birthday. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign near the road. The sign had a cross on it. The sign said: "Do not go here. Scary dogs live here." + +Tom and Lily were curious. They wanted to see the scary dogs. They did not listen to the sign. They went past the sign and into the yard. They heard a loud bark. They saw a big dog with sharp teeth. The dog was angry. The dog ran towards them. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They screamed. They ran back to the road. They saw a man with a leash. The man was the dog's owner. He called the dog. He said: "Sorry, kids. He is not mean. He just wants to play. But you should not go near him. He might hurt you. You should obey the sign. The sign is there to keep you safe." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said: "Sorry, sir. We were wrong. We will not go near the sign again. We will play in the park." The man smiled. He said: "That's good. Have fun, kids. But be careful." He walked away with his dog. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They learned to respect the sign. They learned to avoid the cross. They learned to be careful of the scary things. They played in the park and had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Tom has a new toy. It is a big truck. It has wheels, a horn, and a door. Tom is very happy. + +"Look, Sue, look at my truck!" Tom says. He shows Sue his truck. He makes it go vroom vroom on the floor. He presses the horn. It makes a loud beep beep. + +Sue looks at the truck. She smiles. She wants to touch it. She reaches out her hand. She feels the truck. It has a smooth texture. It is hard and cold. + +"Can I play with your truck, Tom?" Sue asks. She likes the truck. She wants to make it go vroom vroom too. + +Tom shakes his head. He does not want to share. He pulls the truck away from Sue. He says, "No, it is my truck. You can't play with it." + +Sue feels sad. She does not like Tom. She says, "You are mean, Tom. You are not a good friend." + +Tom does not hear Sue. He is deaf. He can't hear sounds. He only sees Sue's mouth move. He does not know what she says. He thinks she is happy. He says, "You are welcome, Sue. You can look at my truck." + +Sue is angry. She does not want to look. She wants to play. She says, "No, thank you, Tom. I don't want to look. I want to play with my own toys." + +She gets up. She walks away. She finds her own toys. She has a doll, a ball, and a book. She plays with them. She has fun. + +Tom does not see Sue. He is busy with his truck. He makes it go vroom vroom. He presses the horn. He is happy. + +Soon, Mom arrives. She sees Tom and Sue. She sees that they are not playing together. She is worried. She says, "Tom, Sue, what is wrong? Why are you not playing together?" + +Tom looks at Mom. He sees her mouth move. He does not hear her. He says, "Mom, look at my truck! It is a big truck. It has wheels, a horn, and a door. It is my truck." + +Mom smiles. She is proud of Tom. She says, "Wow, Tom, that is a nice truck. It is a big truck. It has wheels, a horn, and a door. It is your truck." + +Sue looks at Mom. She hears her. She says, "Mom, Tom is mean. He does not share. He does not let me play with his truck. He does not hear me. He is deaf." + +Mom frowns. She is sad. She says, "Sue, Tom is not mean. He does not know. He is deaf. He can't hear you. He can't hear sounds. He only sees you. You have to show him. You have to use your hands. You have to sign." + +Sue does not understand. She says, "Sign? What is sign?" + +Mom says, "Sign is a way to talk with your hands. You can make shapes and movements with your fingers and palms. You can show Tom what you want to say. You can show him that you want to play. You can show him that you are his friend." + +Sue is curious. She says, "Can you teach me sign?" + +Mom says, "Yes, I can teach you sign. I can teach you and Tom sign. Then you can talk to each other. Then you can play together. Then you can have fun." + +Sue is happy. She says, "Yes, please, Mom. Teach me sign. Teach me and Tom sign. I want to talk to him. I want to play with him. I want to be his friend." + +Mom is happy too. She says, "Okay, Sue. Okay, Tom. Come here. Let me teach you sign. Let me teach you how to say hello, how to say your names, how to say please and thank you, how to say I like you, how to say I want to share, how to say I want to play." + +Tom and Sue come to Mom. They sit with her. They look at her hands. They copy her hands. They learn sign. They learn how to talk to each other. They learn how to be friends. They are happy. +Sara and Ben wanted to mail a card to their grandma. They drew pictures of flowers and hearts on the card. They wrote "We love you, Grandma" with big letters. They put the card in an envelope and put a stamp on it. + +They walked to the mailbox with their mom. On the way, they saw a big tree with green leaves. Mom said it was a palm tree. Sara and Ben liked the palm tree. They wanted to touch the leaves. + +"Can we climb the palm tree, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's too high and too hard. You might fall and hurt yourself," Mom said. + +"But we want to see the leaves up close," Ben said. + +"Maybe we can find a palm leaf on the ground," Mom said. She looked around and saw a big leaf lying on the sidewalk. She picked it up and gave it to Sara and Ben. They were happy. They felt the leaf with their fingers. It was smooth and shiny. + +They reached the mailbox. Mom helped them put the envelope in the slot. They heard a click. The card was on its way to Grandma. + +"Bye, card, bye, Grandma," Sara and Ben said. They waved to the mailbox. + +They turned around and saw a man walking his dog. The dog was small and fluffy. It had a red collar and a blue leash. Sara and Ben liked dogs. They wanted to pet the dog. + +"Can we say hi to the dog, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, but you have to ask the man first," Mom said. + +They walked up to the man and the dog. The man was grumpy. He had a frown on his face. He did not look happy. + +"Hello, sir, can we pet your dog?" Ben asked. + +"No, you can't. Go away, you noisy kids. You're bothering me and my dog," the man said. He pulled the dog away from Sara and Ben. + +Sara and Ben were sad. They did not understand why the man was so mean. They did not do anything wrong. + +"Mom, why is the man grumpy?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know, honey. Maybe he had a bad day. Maybe he needs a hug. Maybe he needs a card like the one you sent to Grandma," Mom said. + +"Maybe we can mail him a card next time," Ben said. + +"Maybe we can, but for now, let's go home and have some cookies," Mom said. + +She hugged Sara and Ben and they walked home. They still had the palm leaf. They decided to keep it as a souvenir of their adventure. They hoped Grandma would like their card. They hoped the grumpy man would find some happiness. They were glad they had each other. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a map that showed them where to go and where to come back. One day, they saw a huge bird in the sky. It was blue and green and had a long tail. They wanted to see it better, so they followed it deeper into the woods. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom said. "But we should not go too far. We might lose our path." + +"Don't worry, we have our map," Lily said. "We can find our way back." + +But they did not see that the wind blew their map away. They kept following the bird until they could not see it anymore. Then they looked around and realized they did not know where they were. + +"Uh-oh," Tom said. "We lost our map. And our path. How will we go back?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe we can ask someone for help." + +They walked around and saw a big house. It had a fence and a gate and a sign that said "Beware of the dog". They heard a loud bark and saw a huge dog running towards them. It had black fur and sharp teeth and red eyes. + +"Help!" Lily and Tom screamed. "There is a huge dog! It is scary!" + +They ran away from the house and the dog. They hoped to find their path again. They wished they had not followed the bird. They wished they had stayed close to their home. +Lily and Tom were playing in the bathroom. They liked to splash water and make bubbles. Lily saw a shiny thing on the sink. It looked like a toy. + +"Look, Tom, a shiny toy!" Lily said. She reached for the shiny thing. + +"No, Lily, don't touch!" Tom said. He remembered what Mommy had told him. "That is a razor. It is not a toy. It can hurt you. It can make you bleed." + +Tom tried to warn Lily, but it was too late. Lily grabbed the razor and cut her finger. She cried out loud. Blood came out of her finger. + +Mommy heard the cry and ran to the bathroom. She saw Lily and Tom and the razor and the blood. She was very angry and scared. + +"What are you doing here?" Mommy asked. "Why did you touch the razor? I told you to stay away from the razor. It is very dangerous. It is only for Daddy to make his face tidy." + +Mommy took Lily and Tom out of the bathroom. She cleaned Lily's finger and put a band-aid on it. She hugged Lily and Tom and told them to be careful. She said they should never play with things that are not toys. She said they should listen to her warnings. She said she loved them very much. +Tom and Mia are playing on the beach. They like to dig in the sand and make castles. They also like to splash in the water and look for shells. + +"Look, Mia, I find a big shell!" Tom says, holding up a shiny pink shell. "It is so pretty!" + +"Wow, Tom, that is a nice shell!" Mia says. "Can I see it?" + +Tom gives the shell to Mia. She looks at it and smiles. Then she sees something else in the water. It is a huge wave! + +"Mia, look out!" Tom shouts. "The tide is coming! It is a huge wave!" + +Mia drops the shell and runs to Tom. They hold hands and run away from the water. The wave crashes on the shore and makes a loud noise. It also washes away their sand castles. + +"Oh no, our castles are gone!" Mia says, looking sad. + +"It is okay, Mia," Tom says, hugging her. "We can make new ones. And we still have the shell. We can share it." + +Mia nods and smiles. She hugs Tom back. They are happy to have each other and the shell. They do not mind the tide and the huge wave. They like the beach and the water. They have fun. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and loved to chase balls. + +One day, their mom told them that they would receive a surprise after dinner. She said it was something they would enjoy very much, but they had to wait until the sun went down. Lily and Max were very curious and excited. They wondered what the surprise could be. + +They ate their dinner quickly and helped their mom clear the table. Then they put on their jackets and followed their mom outside. It was getting dark and the sky was gloomy. They could see some stars and a thin slice of moon. They also saw a bright flash of light in the distance. + +"Look, mom, what's that?" Lily asked, pointing at the light. + +"That's the surprise, my darlings," their mom said, smiling. "It's a firework show. Someone is celebrating something special and they want to share it with everyone. Do you like fireworks?" + +Lily and Max nodded eagerly. They had seen fireworks before, but only on TV. They had never seen them in real life. They were amazed by the colors and shapes and sounds of the fireworks. They oohed and aahed and clapped their hands. Spot barked and wagged his tail. + +They watched the firework show until the last spark faded in the night. Then they hugged their mom and thanked her for the surprise. They felt happy and warm inside. + +They went back to their house and got ready for bed. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They climbed into their beds and cuddled with their stuffed animals. Their mom kissed them goodnight and turned off the light. + +"Goodnight, Lily," Max said. + +"Goodnight, Max," Lily said. + +"Goodnight, Spot," they both said. + +Spot curled up on the floor and snored softly. + +They closed their eyes and dreamed of fireworks. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play pretend. They had many toys and costumes to dress up as different characters. One day, they decided to be superheroes and save the world from bad guys. + +Anna put on a red cape and a mask that covered her eyes. She said she was Super Anna, who could fly and shoot lasers. Ben put on a blue shirt and a mask that covered his mouth. He said he was Super Ben, who could run fast and punch hard. + +They ran around the house, looking for trouble. They saw a cat sleeping on the couch. Anna said, "Look, Super Ben, it's a bad guy! He wants to scratch us and steal our snacks!" Ben said, "Let's get him, Super Anna! He can't hide from us!" + +They jumped on the couch and tried to catch the cat. The cat woke up and hissed. He did not like to be bothered. He scratched Anna's hand and bit Ben's ear. They cried and ran away. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna and Ben with tears and scratches. She saw the cat on the couch, looking angry. She saw the masks on the floor. She was not happy. + +She said, "Anna and Ben, what did you do? Why did you hurt the cat? He is not a bad guy, he is our pet. He loves us and we love him. You should be nice to him, not scare him. You were very ignorant and mean." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were playing pretend. We wanted to be superheroes and save the world. We did not mean to hurt the cat. We love him too." + +Mom said, "I know you like to play pretend, but you have to be careful and respectful. You have to remind yourself that the cat is real, not a toy. He has feelings and needs, just like you. You have to wear your masks to protect your identity, not to hurt others. You have to use your powers for good, not for evil." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "We understand, Mom. We will remind ourselves. We will wear our masks to protect our identity, not to hurt others. We will use our powers for good, not for evil." + +Mom hugged them and kissed their scratches. She said, "That's good, my superheroes. I love you very much. Now, let's go and say sorry to the cat. Maybe he will forgive you and play with you nicely." + +Anna and Ben smiled. They said, "We love you too, Mom. Let's go and say sorry to the cat. Maybe he will forgive us and play with us nicely." + +They picked up their masks and went to the couch. They petted the cat and said, "We're sorry, cat. We were ignorant and mean. We love you and we want to be your friends. Will you forgive us and play with us nicely?" + +The cat meowed and licked their faces. He was not angry anymore. He was happy. He said, "I forgive you, Anna and Ben. You are not ignorant and mean. You are superheroes and my friends. I love you and I want to play with you nicely." + +They all cuddled and played on the couch. They were happy. They were superheroes and friends. They saved the world from bad guys. They wore their masks to protect their identity, not to hurt others. They used their powers for good, not for evil. They reminded themselves. The end. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with different dresses and hair. She liked to make them talk and have tea parties. But sometimes, her brother Ben would come and take her dolls. He would say they were his soldiers and make them fight. Lily did not like that. She would cry and tell him to stop. + +One day, Ben took Lily's favorite doll, the one with the pink dress and the long curls. He said he needed her for his army. Lily was very sad. She ran to Mom and told her what Ben did. Mom said, "Ben, quit taking Lily's dolls. They are hers, not yours. Give her back her doll and say sorry." + +Ben did not want to give back the doll. He liked to make her fly and crash. He said, "No, she is mine. I found her in the trash." Mom said, "That is not true. Lily got her for her birthday. She is very special to her. You are being mean and lying. Give her back now or you will have no wine for dinner." + +Ben did not like wine. He liked juice. He did not want to miss his juice. He knew Mom was serious. He gave back the doll to Lily and said, "Sorry, Lily. I was wrong. You can have your doll. Can I play with you?" Lily was happy to have her doll back. She hugged her and said, "Thank you, Ben. You can play with me, but be nice to my dolls. They are my friends." Ben said, "OK, Lily. I will be nice. Can I have some tea?" Lily said, "Yes, Ben. You can have some tea. But no wine. Wine is for grown-ups." They smiled and played together. Mom was proud of them. She gave them both a kiss and a cookie. +Anna and Ben are playing with crayons. They like to draw pictures of animals and people. Anna draws a cat with a big smile and a bow. Ben draws a dog with a hat and a bone. + +"Look at my cat!" Anna says. "She is very pretty and happy." + +"Look at my dog!" Ben says. "He is very smart and funny." + +They show each other their pictures. Anna likes Ben's dog, but she sees something weird on it. + +"What is that?" Anna asks, pointing to a mark on the dog's ear. + +"That is a star," Ben says. "I like stars. They are shiny and bright." + +"But dogs don't have stars on their ears," Anna says. "That is not right. You should erase it." + +"No, I won't," Ben says. "It is my dog. I can draw what I want." + +Anna and Ben start to argue. Anna insists that Ben should erase the star. Ben insists that he should keep it. They raise their voices and frown. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says, coming into the room. "Why are you fighting?" + +Anna and Ben tell Mom about their pictures and the star. Mom looks at them and smiles. + +"Both of your pictures are very nice," Mom says. "You are very creative and talented. But you don't have to draw the same way. You can have different ideas and styles. That is what makes art fun and interesting." + +Anna and Ben think about what Mom says. They realize that she is right. They apologize to each other and hug. + +"Sorry, Ben," Anna says. "Your dog is cool. I like the star." + +"Sorry, Anna," Ben says. "Your cat is cute. I like the bow." + +They decide to draw more pictures together. They use different colors and shapes. They make weird and wonderful animals. They have fun and share their art. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they tease each other. Sara likes to tease Ben about his toy cars. She says they are too loud and too fast. Ben likes to tease Sara about her dolls. He says they are too soft and too boring. + +One night, Sara and Ben are getting ready for bed. They brush their teeth, put on their pajamas, and hug their mom and dad. They go to their room, which they share. Sara has a pink bed and Ben has a blue bed. They have a shelf with their toys on it. + +Sara sees Ben's toy cars on the shelf. She has an idea. She is very quiet and sneaky. She takes one of Ben's cars and hides it under her pillow. She thinks Ben will be surprised and sad when he can't find his car. She smiles and gets into her bed. + +Ben sees Sara's dolls on the shelf. He has an idea. He is very quiet and sneaky. He takes one of Sara's dolls and hides it under his pillow. He thinks Sara will be surprised and mad when she can't find her doll. He smiles and gets into his bed. + +Sara and Ben say good night to each other. They close their eyes and try to sleep. But they are both too excited. They are waiting for the morning. They are waiting to tease each other. They are very enthusiastic. + +But in the morning, something happens. Sara and Ben wake up and reach for their pillows. They feel something under them. They pull out the toys. They see the car and the doll. They look at each other. They are surprised and confused. They are not sad or mad. They are happy. They laugh and hug. They say sorry and thank you. They play with the toys together. They are very friendly. They don't tease each other anymore. They learn a lesson. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in the backyard. They had a big pile of lumber that their dad gave them to build a fort. They used a hammer, some nails and a saw to make the lumber into walls and a roof. + +One day, a big storm came and blew away their fort. The lumber was scattered all over the yard. Ben and Mia were very sad. They ran to their mom and complained. + +"Mom, mom, our fort is gone! The wind took it away! It's not fair!" they cried. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I know you worked hard on your fort. But don't worry, we can build a new one. Maybe we can make it stronger and bigger. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They wiped their tears and followed mom to the yard. They helped her pick up the lumber and put it in a neat pile. Then they started to plan their new fort. They drew a picture of how they wanted it to look. They decided to make it with more nails and a stronger roof. They also wanted to add a window and a door. + +They worked together with mom and dad for a long time. They hammered and sawed and nailed. They had fun and learned new things. They were very proud of their new fort. It was stronger and bigger than the old one. It had a window and a door. They painted it with bright colors. + +They thanked mom and dad for helping them. They hugged and kissed them. Then they ran to their new fort and played inside. They were very happy. They forgot about the storm and their old fort. They had a new fort and a new adventure. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the soil and look for bugs and worms. They found a big, shiny stone that was different from the others. It was smooth and round and had many colors. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lila said, holding the stone in her hand. "It's so pretty!" + +"Can I see?" Tom asked, reaching for the stone. + +Lila gave him the stone, but as soon as he touched it, something strange happened. The stone started to glow and make a funny noise. Then, it flashed and both Lila and Tom felt a tickle in their bodies. + +They looked at each other and gasped. They had shrunk! They were now as small as the bugs and worms. The stone was still in Tom's hand, but it was much bigger than them. + +"What happened?" Lila said, scared. "How do we get big again?" + +"I don't know!" Tom said, also scared. "Maybe we have to touch the stone again?" + +They tried to touch the stone, but it was too high and heavy for them. They could not lift it or climb it. They were stuck. + +They heard a loud bark and turned around. It was Rex, their dog. He had seen them and was running towards them. He thought they were toys or snacks. He opened his mouth and showed his big teeth. + +"Help!" Lila and Tom screamed. "Rex, no!" +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with a long tail. The dog was brown and white and had a red collar. Tom and Lily liked dogs. They wanted to pet the dog. + +"Hello, doggy!" Tom said. He ran to the dog and tried to touch its fur. The dog growled and showed its teeth. It did not like Tom. It barked loudly and ran away. + +"Wait, doggy!" Lily said. She followed the dog. She wanted to be its friend. She did not see the sign that said "Danger. Do not enter." + +The dog ran into a dark and smelly place. It was an old house with broken windows and doors. There were rats and spiders and trash inside. The dog knew the place. It lived there with other dogs. + +Lily ran after the dog. She did not know the place. She was scared. She called for Tom. But Tom did not hear her. He was still in the park. + +Lily reached the open door of the house. She saw the dog and other dogs inside. They looked angry and hungry. They saw Lily and started to growl and bark. They wanted to bite her. + +"Help! Help!" Lily screamed. She turned around and tried to run away. But it was too late. The dogs jumped on her and attacked her. Lily cried and cried. But no one came to save her. +Tom liked to whistle. He whistled when he woke up, when he ate, when he played, and when he went to bed. He whistled all kinds of songs, loud and soft, fast and slow. He whistled so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to stop. + +One day, Tom and his mom went to the subway. They had to go to the doctor for a check-up. Tom was not happy. He did not like the doctor. He did not like the subway. He did not like to stop whistling. He was stubborn. + +When they got on the subway, Tom started to whistle. He whistled louder and louder. He whistled over the noise of the train and the people. He whistled so loud that everyone looked at him. Some people smiled, some people frowned, some people told him to be quiet. + +Tom's mom tried to make him stop. She said, "Tom, please stop whistling. It is rude. It is annoying. It is not nice." But Tom did not listen. He whistled even louder. He whistled until his mom was red and angry. + +Then, something happened. The subway stopped. The lights went out. The people gasped. The train was stuck. Tom was scared. He stopped whistling. He hugged his mom. He said, "Mom, what is going on? I don't like this. I want to go home." + +His mom hugged him back. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. It is just a power outage. It will be fixed soon. We will be okay. I love you." She kissed him on the cheek. + +Tom felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was bad. I whistled too much. I did not listen to you. I love you too." He kissed her on the cheek. + +They waited for the power to come back. They waited for the subway to move. They waited in the dark. They waited quietly. They did not whistle. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to go on the swings and the slide. Lily sees a big red ball near the fence. She runs to get it. + +"Look, Ben, I found a ball!" she says. "Let's play catch!" + +Ben nods and runs after her. They throw the ball to each other and laugh. They are having fun. + +But then a big boy comes and takes the ball from Lily. He is mean and rude. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" he says. "Give it back!" + +"No, it's not! I found it!" Lily says. "It's mine!" + +The big boy pushes Lily and makes her fall. She hurts her knee and starts to cry. Ben is angry and scared. + +"Leave her alone!" he says. "You are bad!" + +He tries to get the ball back, but the big boy is stronger. He pushes Ben too and makes him fall. He laughs and runs away with the ball. + +Lily and Ben are sad and hurt. They don't know what to do. + +Then they see Sam, the park ranger. He is helpful and kind. He sees Lily and Ben and comes to them. + +"What happened, kids?" he asks. "Are you okay?" + +Lily and Ben tell him what the big boy did. They show him their knees and their tears. + +"That's not nice at all!" Sam says. "I'm sorry he did that to you. Let me help you." + +He gives them some band-aids and some water. He hugs them and makes them feel better. + +"Thank you, Sam!" Lily and Ben say. "You are helpful!" + +Sam smiles and says, "You're welcome, kids. You are brave and good. Don't let the big boy bother you. He is wrong and mean. He will learn his lesson soon." + +He looks at his watch and says, "It's almost noon. Do you want to go back to your mom and dad? They are waiting for you at the picnic table." + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, please. We want to go home." + +Sam takes them by the hand and walks with them to the picnic table. He gives them back their ball. He found it near the fence. The big boy dropped it when he ran away. + +"Here you go, kids. Your ball is safe and sound. Have fun with it!" he says. + +Lily and Ben smile and say, "Thank you, Sam! You are the best!" + +They hug him and run to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened and how Sam helped them. They are happy and proud. + +Sam waves and says, "Bye, kids! See you next time!" + +He goes back to his work. He is happy and proud too. He likes to help people and animals in the park. He is a good park ranger. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day in summer. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. + +One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny and had a basket. Lily and Tom wanted to see it closer. They ran after the balloon, but it was too fast. They left the park and followed the balloon to the street. + +"Look, Lily, the balloon is going to disappear behind that building!" Tom said. + +"Let's go and catch it!" Lily said. + +They crossed the street without looking. They did not see the car that was coming. The car honked and braked, but it was too late. Lily and Tom disappeared under the car. + +The balloon flew away, unaware of what had happened. The driver of the car got out and screamed. The people on the street stopped and stared. The park was empty and quiet. Lily and Tom's fun summer was over. It was not easy to say goodbye. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the farm. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw many places where Ben could hide. She saw the house, the trees, the pond, and the barn. + +She decided to look in the barn first. She walked to the big red door and pushed it open. She saw some hay, some tools, some animals, and some shadows. She heard a noise from one of the shadows. She thought it was Ben. She walked closer and said, "I found you, Ben!" + +But it was not Ben. It was an unknown animal. It had big ears, a long nose, and a gray coat. It looked at Lily and made a loud sound. Lily was scared. She did not know what the animal was or what it wanted. She ran away from the barn and shouted, "Help, help, there is an unknown animal in the barn!" + +Ben heard Lily's scream and came out of his hiding place. He saw Lily running and crying. He ran after her and asked, "What happened, Lily? What did you see in the barn?" + +Lily told Ben about the unknown animal. She said it was big and scary and noisy. Ben said, "Don't worry, Lily, I know what the animal is. It is an elephant. It is not scary, it is friendly. It is here for the circus. The circus people brought it to the barn to cover it from the sun and the rain. They will take it away soon. Do you want to see it again?" + +Lily was curious. She wanted to see the elephant again, but she was still afraid. Ben said, "It's okay, Lily, I will go with you. We can give it some hay and some water and some apples. It will like us and be nice to us. Come on, let's go to the barn and say hello to the elephant." + +Lily and Ben held hands and walked back to the barn. They saw the elephant again. It was still in the shadow, but it looked less scary. It saw Lily and Ben and made a soft sound. It stretched its long nose and touched their hands. Lily and Ben smiled and petted the elephant. They gave it some hay and some water and some apples. The elephant ate them and wagged its tail. Lily and Ben were happy. They made a new friend. They forgot about hide and seek and played with the elephant until the circus people came to take it away. +Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the chair best. The chair was big and soft and had a funny pattern. They pretended it was a castle, a spaceship, a train, and many other things. + +One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to make the chair fly. They found some pillows, some blankets, and some string. They tied the pillows and blankets to the chair legs. They thought it looked like wings. They were very proud of their work. + +They climbed on the chair and shouted, "Ready, set, go!" They hoped the chair would lift off the ground and soar in the air. But nothing happened. The chair was too heavy and the wings were too floppy. They tried to push the chair, but it only moved a little bit. + +They felt sad and angry. They wanted to fly so badly. They started to cry and yell at each other. They blamed each other for the failure. They said mean things like, "You are stupid!" and "You are bad!" + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the chair with the pillows and blankets and the string. She saw the tears and the frowns on their faces. She understood what they were trying to do. She smiled and hugged them. + +She said, "I know you wanted to fly, but the chair is not a good plane. It is too big and too heavy. And the pillows and blankets are not good wings. They are too soft and too loose. But I have an idea. Why don't we go outside and fly a kite? A kite is a good plane. It is light and has a strong wing. And it can fly very high and very far. Would you like that?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They wiped their eyes and smiled. They liked the idea of flying a kite. They untied the pillows and blankets and the string from the chair. They put them back where they belonged. They followed their mom outside. They saw the kite in the sky. It was bright and colorful. It danced in the wind. It looked like a bird or a butterfly. They took turns holding the string. They felt the kite pull and tug. They watched it fly higher and higher. They saw it become smaller and smaller. It looked distant, but they felt close to it. + +They laughed and cheered. They forgot about the chair and the wings. They were happy and proud. They had fun flying the kite. They learned something new. They thanked their mom for the idea. They hugged each other and said sorry for the mean things. They were friends again. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hedge with many green leaves. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's go and see!" said Anna. + +"OK!" said Ben. + +They ran to the hedge and tried to look through it. But the hedge was too thick and high. They could not see anything. + +"Maybe we can push it!" said Ben. + +He put his hands on the hedge and pushed hard. But the hedge did not move. It was too strong and heavy. + +"Ouch!" said Ben. "The hedge is prickly. It hurts my hands." + +"Let me try!" said Anna. + +She put her hands on the hedge and pushed hard too. But the hedge did not move either. It was too strong and heavy. + +"Ouch!" said Anna. "The hedge is prickly. It hurts my hands too." + +They were about to give up when they heard a voice behind the hedge. + +"Hey, stop that!" said the voice. "You are rude. You are hurting my hedge. Go away!" + +Anna and Ben were surprised and scared. They did not know who was behind the hedge. They did not mean to be rude. They just wanted to see. + +"Who are you?" asked Anna. + +"None of your business!" said the voice. "This is my hedge. This is my garden. You are not welcome here. Go away or I will call my dog!" + +Anna and Ben did not want to meet the dog. They did not want to make the voice angry. They said sorry and ran away from the hedge. + +They decided to play somewhere else. They did not like the hedge or the voice. They thought they were rude and mean. They liked to be nice and friendly. +Tim and Mia like to play pretend. They have many toys and costumes in their room. One day, they find a huge mask in a box. The mask is green and has big teeth and horns. It looks like a scary dragon. + +"Wow, look at this mask!" Tim says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK, but I don't want to wear it. It is too big and scary for me," Mia says. + +"That's OK, I will wear it. You can be the princess and I will be the dragon. I will set the mask on my head and roar at you. Then you can run and hide," Tim says. + +They start to play. Tim puts on the mask and makes loud noises. Mia pretends to be scared and runs to the bed. She covers herself with a blanket. Tim chases her and tries to catch her. + +"Help, help! The dragon is coming!" Mia cries. + +"Don't worry, princess. I will save you!" a voice says. + +Tim and Mia stop and look. They see their dad standing at the door. He is wearing a mask too. But his mask is not scary. It is funny. It is red and has a big nose and ears. It looks like a clown. + +"Dad, you have a mask too!" Tim says. + +"Yes, I do. I found it in the garage. Do you like it?" dad says. + +"Yes, we do. It is very funny. Can we play with you?" Mia says. + +"Of course, you can. Let's have some fun. I will be the clown and you can be whatever you want. Maybe we can make the dragon laugh," dad says. + +They all laugh and play together. They have a lot of fun with their masks. They forget about being scared or bored. They are happy. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they wanted more. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a tag that said "Do not open until Christmas". + +"What is in the box?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe more toys!" Lily said. + +They looked around. No one was watching. They decided to open the box. They pulled the tape and lifted the lid. Inside, they saw many colorful balls. + +"Wow, balls!" Ben said. He grabbed one and threw it in the air. + +"Me too!" Lily said. She took another ball and bounced it on the floor. + +They had fun with the balls. They did not see that the balls had numbers on them. They did not know that the balls were part of a game that their dad had bought for them. They did not care. + +Soon, the balls were everywhere. Some rolled under the sofa, some hit the lamp, some broke the vase. The living room was a mess. + +Then, they heard a sound. It was their dad. He came home early. He saw the box, the balls, and the mess. + +"Ben! Lily! What have you done?" he shouted. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They hid behind the couch. + +"We are sorry, dad," they said. + +Dad was angry. He picked up the balls and put them back in the box. He explained that the balls were part of a game that he wanted to play with them on Christmas. He said that they were foolish to open the box and ruin the surprise. He said that they had to clean up the mess and learn to wait. + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They realized that they had made a mistake. They helped dad clean up the living room. They promised to never open a box that was not theirs again. They learned that being curious is good, but being foolish is bad. +Tim was a naughty boy. He liked to play tricks on his sister, Mia. One day, he found a big ant hill in the garden. He had a bad idea. + +He ran to the house and got a piece of cake. He lay the cake on the ground near the ant hill. He hid behind a bush and waited for Mia. + +Mia came out to play. She saw the cake and smiled. She loved cake. She ran to the cake and picked it up. But then she screamed. The cake was full of ants. The ants bit her fingers and made them hurt. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Mia cried. She dropped the cake and ran to the house. Tim laughed. He thought it was funny. + +But then he heard a loud voice. It was Mom. She saw what Tim did. She was angry. + +"Tim, you are a very naughty boy!" Mom said. "You hurt your sister and wasted the cake. You have to say sorry to Mia and help me clean the cake and the ants. And no more tricks!" + +Tim felt bad. He knew he was wrong. He said sorry to Mia and helped Mom. He learned his lesson. He decided to be a good boy from now on. +Sara was going on a trip with her mom and dad. She was very happy to see new things and have fun. She packed her favorite toys and clothes in her luggage. She put a sticker on it to know it was hers. + +At the airport, Sara saw many people and planes. She wanted to look at them more, but her mom and dad said they had to hurry. They gave their luggage to a man who put it on a big belt. Sara waved goodbye to her luggage and hoped it would be safe. + +They got on the plane and found their seats. Sara sat by the window and looked out. She saw the clouds and the sun. She felt a little lonely, because her mom and dad were busy reading and sleeping. She wished she had her toys to play with. + +She saw a boy sitting across the aisle. He had a backpack with a teddy bear sticking out. He looked bored too. Sara wanted to talk to him, but she was shy. She wondered if he would be her friend. + +She decided to be brave and reach out to him. She smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Sara. What's your name?" + +The boy looked surprised, but then he smiled back. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. I like your sticker. Where are you going?" + +Sara and Ben started to chat. They told each other about their trip, their families, and their favorite things. They laughed and played games. They shared their snacks and stories. They became friends. + +Sara felt happy and not lonely anymore. She learned that it was good to reach out to others and make new friends. She hoped to see Ben again and play with him more. She also hoped that her luggage was okay and that it had a sticker friend too. +Lila liked to soar in the sky. She had a big red kite that her dad gave her. She ran with the kite in the park and let the wind lift it high. She felt like she was flying with the kite. + +One day, she saw a boy with a shiny gold kite. He said his kite was better than hers. He said he was rich and his dad bought him the best kite in the world. He said Lila's kite was old and cheap. He made fun of her and laughed. + +Lila felt sad and angry. She did not like the boy. She wanted to show him that her kite was good too. She ran faster and faster with her kite. She did not see a rock on the ground. She tripped and fell. Her toe hurt a lot. She cried. + +The boy saw Lila fall. He stopped laughing. He felt sorry for her. He ran to her and helped her up. He said he was sorry for being mean. He said he liked her kite. He said he wanted to be her friend. He gave her a band-aid for her toe. + +Lila smiled. She said thank you. She said she wanted to be his friend too. She said they could share their kites. They soared their kites together in the sky. They had fun. They were happy. +Anna likes to write with her yellow crayon. She writes her name, and some shapes, and a sun on a big paper. She is very proud of her writing. She shows it to her mom. + +"Look, mom, I write!" Anna says. + +"Wow, Anna, you write very well!" mom says. "Do you want to cut your paper and make a card for dad?" + +"Yes, mom, I want to cut!" Anna says. She likes to cut with her scissors. Mom gives her the scissors and helps her cut the paper. + +But Anna cuts too much. She cuts the sun, and her name, and the shapes. She cuts the paper into small pieces. She is sad. She does not have a card for dad anymore. + +"Oh, Anna, what did you do?" mom says. + +"I cut too much, mom. I'm sorry. I have no card for dad." Anna says. + +"It's okay, Anna. Don't be sad. We can make another card. Here, take another paper and another crayon. You can write again." mom says. + +"Thank you, mom. I love you. I will write again. And I will cut less." Anna says. + +She takes another paper and another crayon. She writes her name, and some shapes, and a sun. She cuts the paper carefully. She makes a card for dad. She is happy. She shows it to mom. + +"Look, mom, I write and cut!" Anna says. + +"Wow, Anna, you write and cut very well!" mom says. "Dad will love your card. You are a good writer and a good cutter." + +Anna smiles. She hugs mom. She waits for dad to come home. She wants to give him her card. She hopes he will like it. She is a good writer and a good cutter. +Ben and Amy wanted a kitten very much. They asked their mom and dad every day, but mom and dad said no. They said they had no room, no money and no time for a kitten. Ben and Amy were sad, but they did not give up. They were persistent. + +One day, they saw a sign at the pet store. It said: "Free kittens. Need good home." Ben and Amy ran inside and saw a box of fluffy kittens. They were so cute and soft. Ben and Amy picked one each and hugged them. They begged the pet store man to let them take them home. + +The pet store man smiled and said: "You can have them, but you need to supply them with food, water, toys and love. And you need to ask your parents first. Do you have their phone number?" + +Ben and Amy nodded and gave him their mom's number. The pet store man called and explained the situation. He said the kittens were healthy and friendly and needed a family. He asked if mom would let Ben and Amy have them. + +Mom was surprised and hesitated. She knew Ben and Amy loved kittens, but she also knew the responsibility and the cost. She asked to talk to Ben and Amy. + +"Ben, Amy, are you sure you want a kitten?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom, please, please, please!" they said together. + +"Are you ready to supply them with everything they need? To feed them, clean them, play with them, take them to the vet?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom, we promise, we will!" they said. + +Mom sighed and thought for a moment. She knew Ben and Amy were persistent, but she also saw how happy they were. She decided to give them a chance. + +"Okay, okay, you can have a kitten. But only one. You have to share and take turns. And you have to follow the rules. Do you understand?" she said. + +"Yes, mom, thank you, thank you, thank you!" they said. + +Mom told the pet store man to send the kitten home with Ben and Amy. She said she would pay him later. The pet store man agreed and gave Ben and Amy a carrier, a collar and a toy for their kitten. He wished them good luck and said goodbye. + +Ben and Amy thanked him and left the store. They were so happy and excited. They had a kitten. They named him Fluffy. They could not wait to show him to dad and their friends. They hoped mom and dad would love him too. They hugged Fluffy and kissed him. Fluffy purred and licked them. He was happy too. He had a family. +Ben liked to play with his cars and trucks. He had many of them, big and small, red and blue, fast and slow. He made roads and bridges with his blocks and zoomed his cars and trucks on them. He had a lot of fun, but he also made a lot of mess. + +His mom asked him to clean up his toys before dinner. She said, "Ben, please put your cars and trucks in the box. It is time to eat." Ben did not want to stop playing. He said, "No, mom, I want to play more." He ignored his mom and kept zooming his cars and trucks. + +His mom was not happy. She said, "Ben, this is your last request. If you do not clean up your toys, you will not get any dessert." Ben loved dessert. He liked cake and ice cream and cookies. He did not want to miss dessert. But he also did not want to clean up his toys. He said, "Mom, can I have dessert and play with my toys?" + +His mom shook her head. She said, "No, Ben, you have to choose. Either you clean up your toys and get dessert, or you keep playing and get no dessert." Ben thought for a moment. He looked at his cars and trucks. He looked at his mom. He looked at the kitchen, where he smelled something yummy. + +He made his choice. He said, "OK, mom, I will clean up my toys." He started to put his cars and trucks in the box. He hoped he would finish before dinner. He hoped he would get dessert. He hoped his mom would not see the wild animal he had hidden under his bed. He had found it in the park and brought it home. He wanted to keep it as a pet. He did not know it would make such a messy noise. He did not know it would eat his shoes. He did not know it would escape and make more mess in his room. He did not know his mom would find out. He did not know what would happen next. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to find twigs and make things with them. Lily made a house for her doll. Tom made a sword for his knight. + +"Look at my house!" Lily said. "It has a door and a window and a roof." + +"Look at my sword!" Tom said. "It is long and sharp and strong." + +They were very happy with their twigs. + +But then they heard their mom calling them. It was time to go home. + +"Come on, Lily and Tom!" Mom said. "We have to go now. Don't forget your twigs!" + +Lily and Tom ran to Mom. They hugged her and said goodbye to the park. They got in the car and drove away. + +But they did forget their twigs. They left them on the grass. + +The next day, they came back to the park. They wanted to play with their twigs again. But they could not find them. + +"Where are our twigs?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe someone took them," Tom said. + +They looked around. They saw a gray bird on a tree. The bird had a nest. The nest was made of twigs. + +"Hey, that's our twigs!" Lily said. + +The bird looked at them. It chirped and flew away. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They lost their twigs. They learned a lesson. They should not forget their things. +Lily was an adventurous mole who liked to dig new tunnels and explore new places. She did not like to stay in the same old hole with her family. She wanted to see the world above the ground. + +One day, she found a hole that led to a sunny field. She peeked out and saw green grass, blue sky, and colorful flowers. She also saw a big, fluffy rabbit hopping around. Lily wanted to play with the rabbit, so she crawled out of the hole and ran after him. + +"Hello, rabbit! Do you want to be my friend?" Lily asked. + +The rabbit turned around and saw Lily. He was scared of the mole, because he thought she was a predator. He did not want to be her friend. He wanted to run away. + +"Go away, mole! You are not welcome here! This is my field, and you are a danger to me and my friends!" the rabbit shouted. + +Lily was hurt by the rabbit's words. She did not mean to scare him. She just wanted to have fun and learn new things. She tried to explain, but the rabbit did not listen. He ran away as fast as he could. + +Lily felt sad and lonely. She realized that she had left her family behind, and that they might be worried about her. She also realized that the world above the ground was not as friendly as she thought. She decided to go back to her hole and apologize to her family. + +She dug her way back to her hole and found her mother, father, and siblings waiting for her. They were happy to see her, but also angry and scared. + +"Where have you been, Lily? We have been looking for you everywhere! Do you know how dangerous it is to go out of the hole without telling us?" her mother scolded. + +"I'm sorry, mother. I was curious and adventurous. I wanted to see the world above the ground. But I learned that it is not a good place for moles. I met a rabbit who was mean and rude to me. He did not want to be my friend. He told me to go away," Lily said. + +Her father hugged her and said, "I'm glad you are safe, Lily. But you should not be so reckless and disobedient. You should listen to us and stay in the hole. We know what is best for you. We love you and want to protect you." + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, father. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I love you too. And I love our hole. It is cozy and warm and full of love. I don't need to go out and look for friends. I have the best friends right here." + +Lily learned her lesson. She did not try to go out of the hole again. She was happy and content with her family and her home. She realized that being adventurous is good, but being obedient and respectful is better. She also realized that the world is full of different creatures, and not all of them are friendly or nice. She learned to appreciate what she had, and not to take it for granted. +Tom and Ann like to ride their bikes. They have a map of the park. The map shows them where to go. They follow the map and see many things. They see trees, flowers, birds, and a pond. + +One day, they find a new path on the map. The path is thin and long. It goes up and down. Tom and Ann want to try it. They ride their bikes on the path. It is fun and hard. They go fast and slow. They laugh and shout. + +But then, they see a big hill. The hill is very high and steep. Tom and Ann are scared. They do not want to go up the hill. They want to go back. But they do not know how. They look at the map. But the map is torn and dirty. They can not see the path. They are lost. + +They start to cry. They do not know what to do. They hug their bikes and wait. They hope someone will find them. They hope someone will help them. They hope someone will take them home. +Tom and Mia like to ride their bikes in the park. They have a game where they count how many times they can go around the big tree. The one who has the most times is the winner. They have a score card to write their numbers. + +One day, Tom and Mia are playing their game. Tom is very fast and he goes around the tree many times. Mia tries to catch up, but she is slower. She looks at the score card and sees that Tom has ten and she has six. She feels sad. + +"Tom, can we stop now?" Mia asks. "I'm tired and I want to go home." + +"But Mia, we're not done yet. I want to ride more and get a higher score. Come on, it's fun!" Tom says. + +"No, Tom, it's not fun for me. You always win and I always lose. That's not fair. You should let me win sometimes." Mia says. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes to ride and win, but he also likes Mia and he doesn't want her to be sad. He remembers that his mom told him to be kind and share with his friends. + +"Okay, Mia, I'm sorry. You're right, it's not fair. How about we ride together and share the score? We can both have ten and be winners. Is that okay?" Tom says. + +Mia smiles and nods. She feels happy again. She likes Tom and she likes to ride with him. She doesn't care about the score anymore. She just wants to have fun. + +"Thank you, Tom. You're a good friend. Let's ride together and have fun." Mia says. + +Tom and Mia ride their bikes around the tree, side by side. They laugh and talk and enjoy the sun. They don't look at the score card anymore. They just look at each other and feel happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with red and green things on it. They wanted to try them. + +"Look, Ben, fruit!" Lily said. "Let's pick some and eat them." + +They ran to the tree and reached for the fruit. But they felt something sharp on their fingers. It was the tree's thorns. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" they cried. "The tree is sharp! It hurts!" + +They dropped the fruit and ran away from the tree. They looked at their fingers. They had little spots of blood on them. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"I'm okay, Ben. But my finger is sore. And I'm hungry," Lily said. + +"Me too. Let's find something else to eat," Ben said. + +They walked around the park and saw a stand with yellow and brown things on it. They smelled sweet and yummy. + +"Look, Lily, cake!" Ben said. "Let's buy some and eat them." + +They ran to the stand and gave the man some coins. He gave them each a slice of cake. + +"Thank you, mister," they said. + +They took a big bite of the cake. But they made a funny face. It was not sweet and yummy. It was sour and yucky. + +"Blech, blech, blech!" they spat. "The cake is sour! It tastes bad!" + +They threw the cake away and ran away from the stand. They looked at their mouths. They had a sour taste in them. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"I'm okay, Lily. But my mouth is sour. And I'm still hungry," Ben said. + +"Me too. Let's find something else to eat," Lily said. + +They walked around the park and saw a lady with a basket of blue and purple things on it. They looked soft and juicy. + +"Look, Ben, berries!" Lily said. "Let's ask the lady for some and eat them." + +They ran to the lady and said hello. She smiled and gave them each a handful of berries. + +"Here you go, kids. Enjoy the berries. They are fresh and sweet," she said. + +"Thank you, lady," they said. + +They popped the berries in their mouths. They felt a burst of flavor. It was sweet and yummy. It made them happy. + +"Mmm, mmm, mmm!" they said. "The berries are sweet! They taste good!" + +They ate all the berries and licked their fingers. They looked at each other. They had a smile on their faces. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"I'm okay, Ben. And I'm not hungry anymore. The berries filled my tummy," Lily said. + +"Me too. The berries were the best. Let's say thank you to the lady again," Ben said. + +They ran to the lady and gave her a hug. + +"Thank you, lady. The berries were delicious. You are very nice," they said. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you liked them. You are very polite," she said. + +Lily and Ben waved goodbye to the lady and went back to their mom. They told her about their adventure in the park. + +They learned that some things are sharp, some things are sour, and some things are sweet. But the sweetest thing of all was sharing with a friend. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and put them in a jar. Lily found a big green bug with six legs and two wings. She was very happy and showed it to Max. + +"Look, Max, I found a bug!" Lily said. + +"Wow, that's a nice bug!" Max said. "Can I see it?" + +Lily gave the jar to Max. He looked at the bug and smiled. He liked it too. He wanted to keep it. + +"Can I have it, Lily?" Max asked. + +Lily was surprised. She liked the bug too. She wanted to keep it. + +"No, Max, it's my bug. I found it first," Lily said. + +Max was sad. He liked the bug too. He wanted to keep it. + +"But I want it, Lily. It's not fair. You have to share," Max said. + +Lily and Max started to argue. They both wanted the bug. They both pulled the jar. They did not see the hole in the lid. + +The bug saw the hole. It did not like the jar. It wanted to fly away. It pushed the lid and flew out of the jar. + +Lily and Max stopped arguing. They looked at the jar. It was empty. They looked at the sky. They saw the bug flying away. + +They were both sad. They lost the bug. They wished they had shared. + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They hugged. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I should have let you keep the bug. It was yours," Max said. + +"I'm sorry, Max. I should have let you see the bug. It was nice," Lily said. + +They smiled. They were friends again. They decided to look for more bugs. They decided to share. They learned a lesson. Sharing is fair. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the forest with their mom. They wanted to have a picnic and play with the leaves. Mom brought a big pot and some food. She said, "We are going to make some yummy soup for lunch. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They liked to help mom cook. Mom gave them a big spoon and said, "You can take turns to stir the soup. But be careful, it is hot." Ben and Lily took the spoon and stirred the soup. They smelled the carrots, the potatoes, and the chicken. They said, "Mmm, it smells so good!" + +But they did not know that a wolf was watching them from behind a tree. The wolf was hungry and wanted to eat the soup and the children. He waited for a chance to sneak up on them. He thought, "That soup looks so yummy. And those children look so tender. I will have a feast today!" + +But mom was not silly. She saw the wolf's shadow and heard his growl. She said, "Ben, Lily, come here quickly. There is a wolf in the forest. We have to go home now." Ben and Lily were scared. They ran to mom and hugged her. Mom picked up the pot and said, "We will take the soup with us. Maybe we can share it with dad and grandma. They will like it too." + +The wolf was angry and sad. He missed his chance to eat the soup and the children. He howled and ran away. He thought, "I will have to find something else to eat. Maybe a rabbit or a mouse. But they are not as yummy as soup and children." +Sara was happy. She had a new toy. It was a big box with many blocks. She could add blocks and make things. She made a house, a car, a tower and a dog. + +She wanted to show her toy to her friend Tom. She called him on the phone. "Tom, come to my house. I have a new toy. It is fun. You can play with me." + +Tom came to Sara's house. He saw her toy. He liked it. He said, "Wow, Sara, your toy is cool. Can I play with you?" + +Sara said, "Yes, Tom, you can play with me. We can add blocks and make more things. What do you want to make?" + +Tom said, "I want to make a rocket. I wish I could go to the moon." + +Sara said, "Me too. Let's make a rocket. We can add blocks and make it big and fast. Then we can pretend we go to the moon." + +They added blocks and made a rocket. It was big and fast. They put their dolls inside. They said, "Three, two, one, blast off!" They made noises like a rocket. They pretended they went to the moon. They had fun. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they find a cute baby turtle on the sand. It is very small and has a green shell. Sara and Ben want to keep it as a pet. They put it in a bucket with some water and sand. + +"Look, we have a turtle!" Sara says. "We can name it Timmy." + +"Yes, Timmy is a good name," Ben says. "He is our friend." + +But the turtle is not happy. It misses its home in the sea. It does not like the bucket. It wants to swim and be free. It makes a sad noise. + +Sara and Ben hear the noise. They look at the turtle. They see that it is not happy. They feel sorry for it. + +"Maybe Timmy does not like the bucket," Sara says. "Maybe he wants to go back to the sea." + +"Yes, maybe you are right," Ben says. "The sea is his home. He has a family there." + +Sara and Ben decide to take the turtle back to the beach. They carry the bucket carefully. They find a spot near the water. They gently put the turtle on the sand. + +"Goodbye, Timmy," Sara says. "We are sorry we took you. We hope you are happy in the sea." + +"Goodbye, Timmy," Ben says. "We will miss you. You are a cute turtle." + +The turtle looks at Sara and Ben. It makes a happy noise. It crawls to the water. It swims away. + +Sara and Ben watch the turtle go. They feel sad. They weep a little. But they also feel happy. They know they did the right thing. They hug each other. + +They still love the beach. They still play there. But they never take a turtle again. They let them be free. +Tommy liked to eat pears. He liked them more than apples or bananas. He liked how they were sweet and soft and juicy. He liked to pick them from the big tree in his yard. + +One day, he saw a big pear on the top of the tree. It was the biggest pear he had ever seen. He wanted to eat it very much. He urged his mom to help him get it. But his mom said no. She said it was too high and too hard to reach. She said he could have one of the other pears on the lower branches. + +But Tommy did not listen. He waited until his mom was busy in the house. Then he got a stool and a stick. He put the stool under the tree and climbed on it. He tried to poke the big pear with the stick. He hoped it would fall down. + +But the big pear did not fall. It was stuck on the branch. Tommy poked harder and harder. He did not see the bees that lived in the tree. He did not hear them buzz. He did not feel them sting. + +Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his arm. He looked and saw a bee. He screamed and dropped the stick. He fell off the stool and ran to his mom. He cried and cried. His mom hugged him and put some ice on his arm. She said he was lucky he only got one sting. She said he should have listened to her. + +Tommy learned his lesson. He did not want to eat the big pear anymore. He saw that it was not sweet and soft and juicy. It was ugly and hard and sour. He saw that it had a big hole where the bees came out. He said he was sorry to his mom. He said he would never urge her again. He said he would be happy with the other pears on the lower branches. He said they were the best pears in the world. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toy kitchen. They have cups, spoons, plates and a teapot. They pretend to make tea and cookies for their guests. Sara is the host and Ben is the waiter. + +"Hello, welcome to our tea party!" Sara says to her teddy bear and her doll. "Please sit down and enjoy your tea and cookies." + +Ben puts a cup of tea and a plate of cookies in front of each guest. He is very careful not to spill the tea or break the cookies. He smiles and says, "Here you are, Mr. Bear and Miss Doll. I hope you like your tea and cookies." + +Sara and Ben sit down and join their guests. They sip their tea and nibble their cookies. They talk about the weather, the garden and their favorite books. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Sara feels something uncomfortable in her mouth. She spits out a piece of cookie and says, "Yuck! This cookie is hard and bitter. It tastes like dirt." + +Ben looks at the cookie and says, "Oh no! I think I put the wrong cookies on the plates. These are not cookies, these are rocks. I'm sorry, Sara. I'm sorry, Mr. Bear and Miss Doll." + +Sara and Ben look at each other and start to laugh. They say, "It's okay, Ben. It was a mistake. We can make new cookies with flour and sugar. And we can drink more tea. We still love our tea party." +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They saw a big box near the fence. It was brown and had a lock on it. + +"What is in the box?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's see," Ben said. He tried to open the lock, but it was too hard. He looked around and saw a metal strip on the ground. It was shiny and thin. + +"Maybe this can help," he said. He picked up the strip and put it in the lock. He twisted and pushed, but nothing happened. + +"Let me try," Lily said. She took the strip from Ben and tried to open the lock. She twisted and pushed harder, and then she heard a click. + +"Yay, we did it!" she said. She opened the box and looked inside. + +But there was nothing in the box, only a loud noise. It was a horn that went beep beep beep. Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped the strip and ran away from the box. + +"Who put that there?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was a joke," Lily said. + +They went back to their mud pies and forgot about the box. They did not like the lock or the strip or the horn. They liked the mud and the sun and each other. +Lily loved the sea. She liked to watch the waves and the birds and the fish. One day, she went to the sea with her mom and dad. They had a big boat and they took Lily on it. + +Lily was happy on the boat. She saw many things. She saw a big whale that made a loud sound. She saw a starfish that was red and shiny. She saw a seagull that flew over her head. She smiled and clapped. + +Then, she saw something else. It was a dolphin. It was gray and smooth and had a long nose. It jumped out of the water and made a funny noise. Lily was very excited. She wanted to see the dolphin closer. She leaned over the boat and reached out her hand. + +But the boat was moving fast and the water was deep. Lily lost her balance and fell into the water. She was scared and cold. She screamed and cried. She felt the water in her mouth and nose. She trembled and kicked. + +The dolphin saw Lily. It was kind and smart. It swam to her and pushed her up. It helped her stay on the surface. It made a noise to call for help. Lily felt the dolphin's skin and held on to it. She was still scared, but she felt a little better. + +Lily's mom and dad heard her scream. They saw her in the water with the dolphin. They were worried and shocked. They turned the boat around and came to her. They threw a rope and pulled her up. They hugged her and wrapped her in a towel. They thanked the dolphin and said goodbye. + +Lily was safe and warm. She was sorry and grateful. She looked at the dolphin and smiled. The dolphin looked at her and smiled back. It waved its tail and jumped away. Lily waved her hand and said, "Thank you, dolphin. You are my friend." +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was the big red automobile. It was shiny and fast and made loud noises. + +One day, they decided to take the automobile outside and drive it on the street. They did not ask their mom or dad, because they were ignorant. They thought they knew everything and did not need to listen to anyone. + +They put on their hats and coats and sneaked out of the house. They pushed the automobile to the sidewalk and climbed inside. Tom was the driver and Sam was the passenger. They turned on the engine and zoomed away. + +"Look at us, we are so cool!" Tom said. + +"Yeah, we are the best drivers ever!" Sam said. + +They did not see the big truck coming from the other side. The truck was bigger and faster and louder than the automobile. The truck driver did not see them either, because they were too small and too fast. + +The truck hit the automobile with a big crash. The automobile broke into pieces and flew in the air. Tom and Sam were hurt very badly. They screamed and cried and bled. + +Their mom and dad heard the noise and ran outside. They saw the wreck and their sons. They were very sad and very angry. They called for help and hugged their sons. + +"Why did you do this? Why did you not listen to us?" they asked. + +"We wanted to have fun. We wanted to fit in. We were ignorant." Tom and Sam said. + +They were sorry, but it was too late. They had made a big mistake and paid a big price. They learned a hard lesson, but they did not live to tell it. +Tim and Lily were gifted twins. They liked to play with their cart. They put their toys in the cart and pushed it around the yard. + +One day, they saw a big dog in the street. The dog was barking and running. Tim and Lily were scared. They ran to their cart and hid behind it. + +"Go away, dog!" Tim shouted. "You are not nice!" + +The dog did not listen. He came closer to the cart. He smelled the toys and licked them. + +"Stop, dog!" Lily cried. "Those are our toys!" + +The dog did not stop. He grabbed a teddy bear and ran away with it. + +"Hey, dog!" Tim and Lily yelled. "Give back our toy!" + +They chased the dog, but he was too fast. He disappeared behind a fence. + +Tim and Lily were sad. They lost their toy. They hugged each other and went back to their cart. + +"Maybe we can find another toy," Tim said. + +"Maybe," Lily said. "But I liked that teddy bear." + +They looked at their cart. It was still full of toys. They smiled and picked one. + +"Let's play with this one," Tim said. + +"OK," Lily said. "But be careful. We don't want to lose another toy." + +They played with their cart and their toys. They were gifted twins. They were happy. +Lily wanted to make a card for her mom. She found some paper, scissors and crayons. She cut the paper into a big heart. She drew a clock on the heart. She wrote "I love you mom" with the crayons. + +She was very proud of her card. She ran to the kitchen to show it to her mom. But her mom was busy cooking. She did not look at Lily's card. She said "Not now, Lily. I'm making dinner. Go play with your toys." + +Lily felt sad and frustrated. She wanted her mom to see her card. She wanted her mom to hug her and say "Thank you, Lily. This is a beautiful card. I love you too." She did not want to play with her toys. She wanted to give her card to her mom. + +She walked back to her room. She saw her brother Tom playing with his cars. He saw Lily's card. He said "What is that? A clock? That's silly. Clocks don't belong on hearts. Hearts are for love. Clocks are for time." + +He grabbed Lily's card. He tore it into pieces. He threw the pieces on the floor. He said "There. Now it's a better card. It's a puzzle. You can put it back together." + +Lily was very angry and hurt. She cried. She yelled "No, Tom! That's my card for mom! You are mean! You are bad! Give it back to me!" + +She tried to get her card back. But Tom was bigger and stronger. He pushed her away. He said "Go away, Lily. This is my card now. You can't have it." + +Lily ran to the kitchen. She told her mom what Tom did. She showed her mom the pieces of her card. She said "Mom, look. Tom cut my card. He ruined it. He said it was silly. He said it was a puzzle. He did not give it back to me." + +Her mom looked at Lily's card. She looked at Lily's tears. She felt sorry for Lily. She said "Oh, Lily. I'm so sorry. Tom was very naughty. He should not have cut your card. He should not have said those things. He should have given it back to you." + +She hugged Lily. She said "Your card was very beautiful. I love the clock on the heart. It means you love me all the time. Thank you, Lily. I love you too." + +She took Lily's hand. She said "Come on, Lily. Let's go talk to Tom. He needs to say sorry to you. He needs to learn to be nice to you. He needs to share his toys with you." + +Lily smiled. She felt happy again. She said "OK, mom. Let's go talk to Tom. Maybe he will play with me. Maybe he will like my card. Maybe he will love me too." +Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they saw a big poster on the fence. It had a picture of a lion and some words. Ben tried to read the words, but they were too hard. He asked Mia, but she did not know either. + +"Maybe it is a story about the lion," Mia said. "Let's pretend we are in the story." + +"OK," Ben said. "You be the lion and I be the hunter." + +They ran to the big tree and hid behind it. Mia roared like a lion and Ben pretended to have a gun. He aimed at Mia and said, "Bang!" + +Mia did not fall down. She ran towards Ben and pounced on him. They both fell to the ground and rolled over. They laughed and tickled each other. + +"Stop, stop, you are too strong!" Ben said. + +"I am the king of the jungle!" Mia said. + +They heard a loud noise. It was a real lion. It had escaped from the zoo and found its way to the park. It saw Ben and Mia and thought they were food. It roared and ran towards them. + +Ben and Mia were scared. They got up and tried to run away, but the lion was faster. It caught Ben by his leg and dragged him back. Ben screamed and kicked. He struggled to get free. + +"Mia, help me!" Ben cried. + +Mia did not know what to do. She looked around and saw a big stick. She picked it up and ran to Ben. She hit the lion on the head with the stick. The lion let go of Ben and growled. It turned to Mia and showed its teeth. + +Mia was brave. She hit the lion again and again. She shouted, "Go away, bad lion! Leave us alone!" + +The lion was hurt and angry. It ran away from Mia and Ben. It saw a man in a blue uniform. It was a zookeeper. He had a big net and a cool car. He threw the net over the lion and put it in the car. He drove away with the lion. + +Ben and Mia hugged each other. They were safe and happy. They thanked the zookeeper for saving them. He smiled and said, "You are very brave, kids. But don't play with lions. They are dangerous." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They learned their lesson. They went home with their mom and dad. They told them their story. They said they would never play with lions again. They would play with something else. Something nice and friendly. Like a dog. Or a cat. Or a bunny. +Tom and Mia like to play with their ship. It is a big ship with wings and a tail. They pretend it can fly in the sky and go to far places. They make noises like "zoom" and "whoosh" and move the ship around. + +One day, they find a big hill near their house. They think it is a good place to make their ship fly. They run up the hill with their ship and hold it high. They count to three and throw the ship in the air. The ship flies very fast and very far. They see it go over the trees and the clouds. They clap and cheer. + +They run down the hill to find their ship. They look everywhere, but they cannot see it. They are sad and scared. They think they lost their ship. They start to cry. + +Then, they hear a noise. It is their ship. It is coming back. It flies over their heads and lands on the hill. It is not broken. It is still big and shiny. They are happy and surprised. They hug their ship and each other. + +They think their ship is very smart and very brave. They think they are very successful. They take their ship home and tell their mom and dad. They say they want to fly their ship again tomorrow. +Tim and Mia were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs and shells. They were happy. + +One day, they saw something big and gray in the water. It was a whale. The whale was swimming and blowing water from its nose. Tim and Mia were curious. They wanted to see the whale closer. + +"Can we go to the whale, mom?" Tim asked. + +"No, sweetie, the whale is too far and too big. We have to stay here," mom said. + +"But I want to say hello to the whale," Mia said. + +"Maybe the whale will come closer if we wave and shout," Tim said. + +They started to wave and shout at the whale. The whale heard them and looked at them. The whale was friendly. It wanted to say hello too. It swam closer to the shore and made a loud sound. + +Tim and Mia were excited. They ran to the edge of the water and smiled at the whale. The whale smiled back and splashed them with its tail. + +"Wow, the whale is so cool!" Tim said. + +"I love the whale!" Mia said. + +Mom and dad came to join them. They were a little anxious. They did not know if the whale was safe or not. But they saw that the whale was gentle and playful. They relaxed and enjoyed the whale too. + +They all had fun with the whale for a while. Then the whale had to go. It waved goodbye with its fin and swam away. + +"Bye, whale! Thank you for playing with us!" Tim and Mia said. + +They watched the whale disappear in the water. They felt sad, but also happy. They had made a new friend. They hoped to see the whale again someday. They hugged mom and dad and went back to their sandcastle. They thought about the whale and smiled. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their uncle Tom. Uncle Tom is fun and kind. He teaches them how to make snowmen and snowballs. + +One morning, Anna and Ben wake up early. They look out the window and see a lot of snow. They are very happy. They put on their warm clothes and run to the door. They want to go outside and play. + +"Wait, wait!" Uncle Tom says. He is in the kitchen. He is making breakfast. "You need to eat something first. It is cold outside. You need energy." + +Anna and Ben sigh. They are hungry, but they are also excited. They sit at the table and eat some toast and jam. Uncle Tom pours them some milk. He smiles and says, "Are you ready to have some fun?" + +"Yes, yes!" Anna and Ben say. They finish their breakfast and jump off their chairs. They grab their hats and gloves and run to the door again. Uncle Tom follows them. He puts on his coat and boots and joins them outside. + +The snow is white and soft. Anna and Ben laugh and run in the snow. They make snow angels and snow forts. Uncle Tom helps them make a big snowman. He gives the snowman a carrot nose and a scarf. He says, "This is the best snowman ever!" + +Anna and Ben agree. They hug the snowman and hug Uncle Tom. They are happy and warm. They do not mind the cold. They love the snow and they love their uncle. They play until the sun rises high in the sky. +Lily was a little cat who liked to play with her friends. She had a long and fluffy tail that she was very proud of. She liked to chase it, swing it and show it off to other cats. + +One day, she was playing with her friend Tom, a big and strong cat. They were running and jumping in the park, having fun. Tom had a short and thin tail that he did not like very much. He wished he had a tail like Lily's. + +"Lily, your tail is so pretty and soft. Can I touch it?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, Tom. You are my friend. You can touch my tail." Lily said. She was happy that Tom liked her tail. + +Tom reached out his paw and gently stroked Lily's tail. It felt nice and warm. He wanted to feel it more. He grabbed it and pulled it hard. + +"Ow! Tom, that hurts! Let go of my tail!" Lily cried. + +"Sorry, Lily. I just wanted to play with your tail. It is so fun and funny." Tom said. He did not let go of her tail. He twisted it and flicked it. + +"Tom, stop it! You are hurting me and my tail. That is not fair. That is not how you play with a friend." Lily said. She tried to pull away from Tom, but he was too strong. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom anymore. She wished he would leave her alone. She wished he would relax and be nice. + +Just then, a big dog came running towards them. He saw Tom and Lily and barked loudly. He wanted to chase them and bite them. + +"Help! A dog! Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted. He let go of Lily's tail and ran away. + +Lily was scared too. She ran after Tom, but her tail hurt a lot. She could not run very fast. The dog was getting closer and closer. + +"Tom, wait for me! Help me!" Lily called. + +But Tom did not wait for her. He did not help her. He was too afraid of the dog. He ran and hid under a car. + +Lily was alone and in danger. She did not know what to do. She wished Tom was her friend again. She wished he had not hurt her tail. + +Then, she saw another cat. It was her friend Sam, a small and smart cat. He had a long and thin tail that he used very well. He saw Lily and the dog and had an idea. + +"Hey, dog! Look at me! Look at my tail!" Sam shouted. He waved his tail in front of the dog's nose. He made it look like a toy. + +The dog saw Sam and his tail. He forgot about Lily and ran after Sam. He wanted to catch his tail and play with it. + +Sam was not afraid of the dog. He was clever and fast. He ran and dodged the dog's teeth. He led the dog away from Lily and the park. He found a fence and jumped over it. The dog could not follow him. He barked and whined and gave up. + +Sam came back to the park. He found Lily and went to her. + +"Lily, are you okay? Did the dog hurt you?" Sam asked. + +"No, Sam. I am okay. Thanks to you. You saved me. You are very brave and smart." Lily said. + +"You are welcome, Lily. You are my friend. I am glad you are okay. How is your tail?" Sam asked. + +"My tail is sore and sad. Tom hurt it. He pulled it and twisted it. He was not fair. He was not a good friend." Lily said. + +"I am sorry, Lily. That was not nice of Tom. He should not have done that. He should have relaxed and been gentle. He should have cared for your tail and you." Sam said. + +"Yes, Sam. You are right. You are a good friend. You care for my tail and me. You have a nice tail too. Can I touch it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. You are my friend. You can touch my tail. But be careful. It is not very fluffy. It is not very strong. It is just a tail." Sam said. + +Lily reached out her paw and gently stroked Sam's tail. It felt smooth and cool. She liked it. She did not pull it or twist it. She just touched it. + +"Sam, your tail is very nice. It is not funny. It is not a toy. It is a part of you. It is a part of your friend." Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are very sweet. You are a part of my friend too." Sam said. + +They smiled and hugged. They relaxed and +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to travel with their mom and dad. They went to many places and saw many things. One day, they went to a big city with tall buildings and many cars. They were very excited. + +Mom and Dad gave them some gum to chew on the plane. The gum was pink and sweet. Lily and Ben liked the gum very much. They blew big bubbles with their mouths. They laughed and had fun. + +When they arrived at the city, they got off the plane and took a bus to their hotel. On the bus, Lily and Ben kept chewing their gum. They did not listen to Mom and Dad, who told them to throw away their gum before they got off the bus. They thought they could keep chewing their gum and enjoy it. + +But when they got off the bus, they made a big mistake. They forgot to close their mouths and their gum got stuck on their hair. Their hair became pink and sticky. They tried to pull off the gum, but it only made it worse. They cried and felt sad. + +Mom and Dad saw what happened and helped them. They took them to a barber shop, where they had to cut off their hair. They looked very different and felt embarrassed. They learned a lesson. They should have listened to Mom and Dad and thrown away their gum when they were told to. They realized that gum was not good for traveling. They said sorry to Mom and Dad and promised to be more careful next time. Mom and Dad hugged them and told them they still loved them. They said they could still have fun in the city and see many things. They smiled and felt better. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big pot behind a bush. It is shiny and has strange marks on it. + +"Look, Lily, a pot!" Tom says. He tries to lift it, but it is too heavy. "Help me, Lily!" + +Lily comes and holds the other side of the pot. Together, they drag it to the grass. They wonder what is inside the pot. + +"Maybe it has gold or candy or toys!" Lily says. She tries to open the lid, but it is stuck. + +"Maybe it has a magic genie or a fairy or a dragon!" Tom says. He bangs on the lid, but it does not move. + +They hear a voice from inside the pot. It says, "Who are you? Why are you bothering me?" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They let go of the pot and run away. They hide behind a tree and peek at the pot. + +The voice says, "I am a powerful wizard. I was trapped in this pot by a wicked witch. If you free me, I will grant you three wishes." + +Tom and Lily are curious. They want to see the wizard and get their wishes. They come out of their hiding place and walk towards the pot. + +"Are you really a powerful wizard?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, I am. But I need your help to get out of this pot. You have to say the magic word." The voice says. + +"What is the magic word?" Lily asks. + +The voice says, "The magic word is...please." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a doll, and a monkey. The monkey was soft and brown, and it had a long tail. Lily liked to hug the monkey and make it talk. + +"Hello, I am the monkey. I like to swing and jump and eat bananas," Lily said, moving the monkey's mouth. + +"Hello, monkey. I am Tom. Do you want to play with me and the ball?" Tom asked, holding the ball. + +"Yes, please. I love to play with the ball. Throw it to me, Tom," Lily said, making the monkey nod. + +Tom threw the ball to the monkey, and Lily caught it with the monkey's hands. She threw it back to Tom, and they played catch for a while. They had fun and laughed. + +But then, the sky became dark and gray. It started to rain. Big drops of water fell on the park and on the toys. Lily and Tom ran to the big tree to hide from the rain. + +"Oh no, the monkey is wet. He does not like the rain. He likes the sun," Lily said, holding the monkey close to her. + +"Don't worry, Lily. We can dry the monkey. Look, there is a big leaf on the tree. We can use it to cover the monkey and make him warm," Tom said, reaching for the leaf. + +He gave the leaf to Lily, and she wrapped it around the monkey. She rubbed the monkey's fur and tail with the leaf, and tried to make him dry. + +"Is the monkey dry now, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, he is dry now. He is happy and cozy. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend," Lily said, smiling. + +"You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too. And the monkey is a good toy. Can I hug him, too?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, you can. He likes to hug both of us. He is our friend, too," Lily said, sharing the monkey with Tom. + +They hugged the monkey and each other, and waited for the rain to stop. They hoped the sun would come out soon, so they could play with the ball and the doll again. They were happy and cozy, too. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat pasta with sauce. Mom said she would make sauce for them. She put tomatoes, cheese and herbs in a pot. She stirred and stirred. The sauce smelled good. + +"Is the sauce ready, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. It needs to cook a little more. It will be rich and yummy," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom waited. They played with their toys. They heard a beep. It was the timer. + +"The sauce is ready!" Mom said. She turned off the stove. She took a spoon and tasted the sauce. "Mmm, it's perfect!" + +She poured the sauce over the pasta. She put some on a plate for Lily and some on a plate for Tom.

One day, they decided to make a surprise for their mom. They went to the kitchen and found some bread, butter and jam. They wanted to make toast with jam for their mom. + +They put the bread in the toaster and waited for it to pop. Then they took a knife and tried to spread the butter and jam on the bread. But they did not know how to do it well. They made a big mess. The jam dripped on the table, the floor and their clothes. They looked at each other and started to laugh. + +Their mom heard them laughing and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and smiled. She was not angry. She said, "What are you doing, my sweeties?" Tom and Mia said, "We wanted to make toast with jam for you, mom. But we made a mess. We are sorry." Their mom hugged them and said, "That is very kind and helpful of you, my loves. But next time, please ask me for help. I can show you how to make toast with jam without making a mess." + +She helped them clean up the kitchen and then they ate the toast with jam together. They all laughed and enjoyed their snack. Their mom said, "Thank you for the surprise, Tom and Mia. You are the best twins ever." Tom and Mia said, "We love you, mom." And they gave her a big kiss. +Tommy was curious. He wanted to know what the orange trumpet sounded like. He found an orange trumpet lying in the grass and he picked it up. He wanted to know what it sounded like when it was played. + +Tommy took the trumpet and blew into it. It made a loud, high-pitched noise that made Tommy's ears hurt. + +Just then, a man ran up to Tommy and said: "Hey! What are you doing? That is my trumpet!" + +Tommy said nothing. He was too scared and dropped the trumpet. + +The man got angry and said: " Now you have to pay for it. I will catch you if you don't give me back my trumpet!" + +Tommy ran away as fast as he could and the man chased after him. Tommy was too scared to turn around and the man eventually caught him and took the orange trumpet back. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lola. She was very adventurous. One day, Lola decided to go explore a wild forest. + +As she wandered through the forest, she came to a large clearing with a wide veil in the middle. She was curious, so she decided to hold the veil and try to peek through it. Just then, a friendly voice said, "Why don't you come through? On the other side, you'll find wonderful things!" + +Lola was brave, so she held the veil and stepped through. As she did, the veil opened wider.

We need to test him.†+ +Molly looked confused. “How do we test him, Dad?†she asked. + +“We just have to watch him and see what he does.†Dad replied. + +So they kept walking and watched the thief. He kept being busy, but he didn’t take anything. Finally they were satisfied with the test and continued walking. + +Molly smiled. “I guess he wasn’t really a thief.†she said to Dad. + +“No, he wasn’t.†Dad smiled back. +One day, Emily and her mom went out to the garden.

She screamed as it cut her skin and her mom quickly came to her aid. Emily's mom was so mad and sad at the same time. She had to take Emily to the doctor to get it taken care of. + +At the doctor's office, Emily felt very uncomfortable. She was scared and didn't know what was going to happen.
