She said, "Yes, let's do it!" + +So, Jake and Lucy collected all the pebbles in the park and made a big pebble tower together. + +And that's how +Once upon a time there was a big, ripe fruit.

It was a modest swing, nothing grand and big, but it was loved by all. + +Every day, the swing would invite animals and children alike to take a fun time. A rabbit, a bird, and a young boy all loved to go for a ride. + +One day, the young boy was feeling a bit tire so he asked the swing if he could rest. The swing said, "of course!" and moved very gently, like it was giving the boy a hug. + +The boy felt so safe and happy on the swing. He rested his head on one of the ropes while the swing swayed him in the warm sunshine. + +Soon, the boy was feeling all better. He thanked the swing and jumped off to go play again. The swing continued to swing and wait, ready to give more hugs whenever it was needed again. +Once upon a time there was a girl named Ruby. She lived in a big city and loved exploring. One day she went to the park and stopped to look at the swings. She noticed one big swing made from leather. It was heavy and she wanted to try it. + +As she went near the swing, she heard an old woman's voice. The woman said, "Be careful when you use a leather swing. It's so heavy that it could hurt you!" But Ruby was already on the swing and she couldn't get off. + +Suddenly, the leather swing started moving fast. She screamed as the swing kept getting higher and higher. She realized it was up to her to use her strength to get off the swing. She pushed off the swing with all of her might and landed away from it. + +Ruby was relieved the swing hadn't hurt her, but she had learned an important lesson. Leather swings are very heavy and can be dangerous! Whenever Ruby saw a leather swing, she remembered not to use it. +Once there was a little girl named Abigail. Abigail loved to go to the park to play with her friends. One day, when Abigail and her friends went to the park, they saw a big statue. Abigail and her friends wanted to know what the statue was wearing.

Her friends tried to stop her because they thought it was a silly idea, but Abigail insisted. She said the statue must be miserable being so cold. + +The next morning when Abigail and her friends went to the park, they saw something special. The statue was wearing a big smile and its coat was gone!

She saw that the park was empty and she decided to go outside. She brought her special watch with her in case she got scared. But everything seemed normal at the park. She played for a long time and soon forgot about the old fight. + +The mommy and daddy took a long walk and when they got back, they did not look mad anymore. They hugged and smiled. The little girl was so happy and felt like all was normal again. + +From then on, the mommy and daddy never fought again. The little girl kept her special watch as a reminder to not be scared, if ever something like this happened again. +The boy had a fierce look. He wore a cape and had a sword at his hip. + +He walked up to a dragon's lair. Inside the dragon was sleeping, but the boy was fearless. + +The boy said, "I have come for the treasure! Give it to me or I will fight you!" + +The dragon opened one eye and said, “You think you are so brave, but you are just a boy. Show me what you have!†+ +The boy stepped forward and drew his sword. He held it in a fierce grip, ready for battle. The dragon saw the courage in his eyes and knew the boy wasn't afraid. + +The dragon said, "You have proven your courage with this bold act. I will give you the treasure you seek." + +The boy thanked the dragon and returned back home with the treasure. He had proven to everyone that he was the bravest boy in town! +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lisa. She was very shy and never wanted to play with anyone.

But her mom said, "No June, you can't". This made June very sad. + +Just then June's daddy came home with a box of crayons and some paper. "Let's paint together!", he said. June was so happy that she jumped up and clapped her hands. + +June and daddy painted a beautiful picture together.

Molly said yes, so her mom gave her a piece. The pie was warm and sweet. Molly ate and enjoyed it very much. She leaned against the door and smiled contentedly. + +Then she heard a knock at the door. Molly ran to the door and opened it. It was her best friend. She was holding something in her hand. Molly leaned against the door and asked, "What is it?" Her friend smiled and said, "I brought you a sweet treat. It's for you!" Molly took the treat excitedly. It was candy! It was sweet and yummy. Molly and her friend ate it and smiled. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tom. Tom was three years old and he loved exploring. One sunny day, Tom's father showed him a map of the playground. "Look, Tom," he said, "This is a map of our playground. Shows us where the toys are". + +Tom liked looking at the map. He thought it was very neat. His dad showed him the slide and the swings. He showed Tom how to get from one point of the playground to the other. + +Tom was very excited. He grabbed his dad's hand and ran across the playground. Finally, he arrived at the sandpit, which was very tidy. He loved playing there, and his dad watched him with a big smile on his face. + +"I love our playground," Tom said. + +"Me too, Tom," his dad replied. "Now let's find something else to explore!" +Once upon a time, there were two brothers named Sam and Ben. Sam was very selfish and always thought only about himself. One day the brothers stumbled upon a map. Sam wanted to keep it all for himself, so he started to yell. He shouted and shouted until Ben had to cover his ears. + +Meanwhile, an old man overheard the noise. He approached Sam and Ben and asked them what was going on. Sam explained that he wanted the map all to himself. The old man shook his head listening to Sam’s selfishness. He smiled and handed each of them a map. + +The old man told the boys that they could both have a map and enjoy the adventure together. He reminded them that it was better to be generous and share with others. Sam realized that instead of being selfish, it was much more fun to share, play and explore with his brother. + +Ben said goodbye to the old man and thanked him for his advice. From that day onwards, not only did Sam and Ben have a lot of fun exploring, but they also remembered to be kind to one another, and never ever yell. +Once upon a time, there was a little plant that needed to get bigger. But it was so hard for the little plant to grow. It tried and tried, but its leaves stayed small. + +Then one day, a friendly rock came along. The rock said to the little plant, "Let me help you." So the rock started to rock the little plant gently. It kept shaking the little plant back and forth, and the little plant began to grow bigger and bigger. + +Soon enough, the little plant became very tall and strong. + +The moral of the story is that hard work is sometimes needed, but a little help from a friend can make it much easier. +It was a bright, sunny day and little Elina was very anxious. She wanted to go to the playground and play, but her parents told her she had to stay with her baby brother. "He's an infant, Elina," they said, "we need you to help look after him." Elina didn't want to and let out a big sigh. + +"Oh please, can I play?" she asked again, but her parents just smiled. + +Elina sat down next to the baby and started to sing a soft lullaby. Soon enough, the infant stopped crying and fell asleep in Elina's arms. She was content and happy and couldn't wait to go play. + +Suddenly, a loud thunder rumbled in the distance. Elina's eyes widened, and she wondered what would happen next. She held the baby close to her chest and anxiously waited for something to happen. + +The thunder grew closer and closer, until a heavy storm started to pour down on the playground. Elina held the baby, who was now starting to cry, but she didn't mind. + +When the storm finally passed, Elina set her baby brother down and playfully ran off the the playground, happy and relieved that she had kept him safe. +Jill was a small girl who was embarrassed about something.

He wouldn’t let her join. + +Lily was very sad and started to tear up, but then she got an idea. She decided to try and build her own tower.

He quickly ran away with the animal in his mouth. Sarah was so upset that she started to cry. + +Just then a kind witch who had been watching the whole thing with interest approached Sarah and said, “Don’t worry, Sarah, I have a plan.†She then took out a bottle of glue and proceeded to glue Sarah’s toy animal back together again. “The fox was careless,†said the witch, “But now you will be able to enjoy playing with your toy animal once again.†+ +Sarah was so surprised and thankful that the witch had helped her.

Let me get Mom to help you!" + +He ran to the kitchen and called Mom. Mom came quickly and saw what had happened. She took Lily to the bathroom and washed her finger. She put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug. She said, "Lily, you have to be careful with things like nails. They are not toys and they can be dangerous. You have to listen to Ben when he tells you something is not safe. He is your big brother and he loves you. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I won't touch nails again. I love you too." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now let's go back to the living room and play with your toys. But no more nails, okay?" + +Lily and Ben agreed and went back to the living room. They played with their toys and had fun. They were careful and kind to each other. They did not become naughty again. +Lily and Ben are brother and sister. They are in the living room with Mom. Mom says, "I have to make a phone call. You two watch TV and be good, okay?" + +Lily nods. She likes to watch TV. She sits on the couch and finds a show with animals. She smiles and claps. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not like to watch TV. He is restless. He wants to play. He jumps off the couch and runs around the room. He makes loud noises. He picks up a pillow and throws it at Lily. + +Lily frowns. She does not like Ben's game. She says, "Stop it, Ben! You are not good. You are bad. Mom said to watch TV and be good." + +Ben laughs. He does not listen to Lily. He picks up another pillow and throws it at her. He says, "No, you stop it, Lily! You are boring. You are no fun. I want to play and have fun." + +Lily and Ben start to fight. They yell and push and pull. They knock over a lamp and a vase. They make a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise. She ends her phone call and comes back to the living room. She sees Lily and Ben and the mess. She is angry. She says, "What are you doing, Lily and Ben? You are not watching TV and being good. You are fighting and making a mess. You are in trouble." + +Lily and Ben stop fighting. They look at Mom. They are scared. They say, "Sorry, Mom." + +Mom says, "You have to clean up the mess and go to your rooms. No more TV and no more playing for today. You have to learn to get along and listen to me." + +Lily and Ben nod. They are sad. They clean up the mess and go to their rooms. They wish they had watched TV and been good. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, Tom's car breaks. The wheel falls off. Tom is sad. + +"Can we fix it?" he asks Lily. + +Lily looks at the car. She shakes her head. "No, we need glue. We don't have glue." + +Tom thinks. He remembers something. "Mom has glue. She uses it for her crafts. Maybe she can help us." + +They run to find Mom. She is in the kitchen. She is making a cake. + +"Mom, Mom, can you fix my car?" Tom says. He shows her the broken car and the wheel. + +Mom smiles. She puts down the bowl. She takes the car and the wheel. She opens a drawer. She finds the glue. + +"Sure, I can fix it. But we have to be careful. The glue is sticky. And we have to wait for it to dry. Can you be patient?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They watch Mom put some glue on the wheel. She presses it to the car. She holds it tight. + +"There, it's done. But don't touch it yet. It needs some time to dry. Why don't you play with something else while you wait?" + +Tom and Lily thank Mom. They look for another toy. They find a puzzle. They start to put the pieces together. + +Mom goes back to the cake. She is happy. She likes to fix things. She likes to make things. She likes to see her children happy. She thinks maybe they can go to the store later. They can buy some new toys. Or some new glue. Or some new cake. Or anything they want. +Anna and Ben love to play in the park. They like to swing on the big swings, slide on the long slides, and run on the green grass. Sometimes they see animals in the park, like birds, squirrels, and dogs. But their favorite animal is the cricket. + +One day, they found a cricket under a leaf. It was small and brown, and it made a funny sound. "Look, a cricket!" Anna said. "Can we keep it?" Ben asked. They decided to make a home for the cricket in a shoebox. They put some grass, some water, and some bread in the box. They made a hole in the lid so the cricket could breathe. + +They took the box home and put it in their room. They named the cricket Chip. They were very gentle with Chip. They did not shake the box or yell at him. They listened to his sound at night. They liked Chip very much. + +But the next day, something bad happened. Their dog, Spot, saw the box and was curious. He smelled the bread and wanted to eat it. He pushed the box with his nose and knocked it over. The lid came off and Chip jumped out. Spot chased Chip around the room, barking and snapping. + +Anna and Ben heard the noise and ran to their room. They saw Spot and Chip and were scared. They shouted at Spot to stop. They tried to catch Chip and put him back in the box. But Chip was fast and scared. He ran under the bed and hid. + +Anna and Ben were sad. They did not want to lose Chip. They did not want Spot to hurt him. They crawled under the bed and looked for him. They called his name softly. They hoped he would come out. + +They saw a flash of brown in the dark. It was Chip. He was still alive. He was still making his sound. He was not angry or afraid. He was happy to see them. He hopped on Anna's hand and let her hold him. He tickled her with his legs. She smiled and hugged him. Ben smiled and hugged her. They were happy to find Chip. They put him back in the box and closed the lid. They put the box on a high shelf where Spot could not reach it. They thanked Chip for being their friend. They said good night to him and to each other. They slept well and dreamed of the park. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play deliver. They used their bikes as trucks and their garage as a store. They put some toys and books in their baskets and rode around the yard. + +"Beep beep! I have a delivery for you!" Lily said, stopping at Ben's bike. "What did you order?" + +"I ordered a dinosaur and a puzzle," Ben said, looking in his basket. "Thank you, Lily! You are a good deliver person!" + +"You're welcome, Ben! Do you want to trade?" Lily asked, being playful. She liked dinosaurs too. + +"Okay, let's trade!" Ben agreed, being playful too. He gave Lily his dinosaur and took her puzzle. They smiled and hugged. + +Then they heard their mom calling them for lunch. They parked their bikes in the garage and ran inside. They were hungry and happy. They liked to play deliver. +Anna and Ben are twins. They share a bedroom. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. They fight over who gets the big car, or the blue ball, or the soft bear. + +One night, they are fighting over the bear. Anna says, "It is my bear! I had it first!" Ben says, "No, it is my bear! You took it from me!" They pull and tug on the bear. They make a lot of noise. + +Their mom hears them. She comes to their bedroom. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting! It is time for bed. You have to share the bear. You can take turns. Anna, you can have the bear tonight. Ben, you can have the bear tomorrow. Now, say sorry and give each other a hug." + +Anna and Ben say sorry and hug. They are still a little mad, but they listen to their mom. They put the bear on the bed. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They get into bed. + +Their mom kisses them good night. She turns off the light. She says, "Sleep well, my loves. I will see you in the morning." + +Anna and Ben close their eyes. They hear a scary sound. It is a loud thump. They open their eyes. They see a shadow on the wall. It looks like a monster. They are scared. + +They scream, "Mom! Mom! There is a monster in our bedroom!" + +Their mom hears them. She comes to their bedroom. She turns on the light. She says, "What is wrong? Why are you screaming?" + +Anna and Ben point to the wall. They say, "There is a monster! It is scary!" + +Their mom looks at the wall. She smiles. She says, "That is not a monster. That is your coat. It fell from the hook. See? It is just a coat. There is nothing to be afraid of." + +Anna and Ben look at the wall. They see the coat. They feel silly. They say, "Oh. It is just a coat. We are sorry, mom. We were scared." + +Their mom hugs them. She says, "It is okay. Sometimes we get scared of things that are not real. But you are safe. I am here. And you have each other. You are brave twins. Now, try to sleep. No more screaming." + +Anna and Ben nod. They cuddle with the bear. They say, "We love you, mom. We love each other. We are not scared anymore." + +Their mom says, "I love you, too. Good night, my loves." + +She turns off the light. She leaves their bedroom. Anna and Ben fall asleep. They dream of happy things. They do not fight. They do not hear any scary sounds. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a big cave in the woods. They want to see what is inside. + +"Can we go in?" Tom questions Mia. + +"I don't know. It looks dark and scary," Mia says. + +"Maybe there are animals or treasures in there. Let's be brave and explore," Tom says. + +They hold hands and walk into the cave. They see some rocks and some bats. They hear some noises. They are curious and playful. + +"Hello, who is there?" Tom calls out. + +"Roar!" a voice answers. + +Tom and Mia scream and run out of the cave. They see a big bear at the entrance. The bear is not angry. He is playful too. He was just pretending to roar. + +"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just having some fun. Do you want to play with me?" the bear says. + +Tom and Mia are surprised and happy. They make friends with the bear. They play hide and seek and tag in the woods. They have a lot of fun. They learn that the cave is the bear's home. They promise to visit him again. They say goodbye and go back to their homes. They tell their parents about their adventure. They are proud and happy. They can't wait to see the bear again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. There were books, toys, clothes, and pictures. Sometimes they pretended to be pirates, or princesses, or explorers. + +One day, they found a big box that they had never seen before. It was dusty and heavy. They opened it and saw a lot of shiny things inside. There were coins, jewels, medals, and a crown. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. He picked up the crown and put it on his head. "I am the king of the attic!" + +Anna laughed. She saw a necklace with a big ruby. She put it around her neck. "And I am the queen of the attic!" + +They felt very happy and proud. They did not know that the things in the box were very old and valuable. They did not know that their grandma had saved them from a war. They did not know that they should be careful and respectful. They were ignorant. + +They played with the things for a long time. They made up stories and rules. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Anna! Ben! Come down now! You need to eat!" their mom shouted. + +They ignored her. They were having too much fun. They did not need to eat. They had everything they wanted in the attic. + +Their mom was angry. She climbed up the stairs and opened the door. She saw them with the things in the box. She gasped. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Do you know what these are?" + +Anna and Ben looked at her. They did not understand why she was mad. They smiled. + +"Look, mom, we are the king and queen of the attic!" they said. +Lily woke up in the morning and felt uncomfortable. Her nose was runny and her throat was sore. She did not want to get out of bed. She called for her mom. + +"Mom, I don't feel good," she said. + +Mom came to her room and touched her forehead. She said, "Oh, Lily, you have a fever. You are sick. You need to rest and drink some water." + +Lily did not like being sick. She wanted to play with her toys and watch her favorite show. She said, "But, Mom, I'm bored. Can I do something fun?" + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, Lily, being sick is no fun. But you have to stay in bed and get better. How about I read you a story? Or we can play a game with cards?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked stories and games. She said, "OK, Mom, that sounds good. Can you read me the one about the princess and the dragon?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Sure, Lily, I can read you that one. It's one of my favorites, too. Come on, let's snuggle up and enjoy the story." + +Mom and Lily cuddled in bed and opened the book. Lily felt a little less uncomfortable as she listened to Mom's voice and looked at the pictures. She hoped she would get well soon, but she was glad to have Mom with her. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside. They climbed the tree and looked in the hole. They saw a basket with a small cat. The cat was scared and hungry. It had thick fur and blue eyes. + +"Hello, cat. We are Lily and Tom. We want to help you," Lily said. She reached for the basket, but it was too far. She almost fell from the tree. Tom held her hand and pulled her back. + +"Be careful, Lily. The basket is too heavy. We need to find a way to rescue the cat," Tom said. He looked around and saw a long rope. He tied one end of the rope to the tree and threw the other end to the basket. He pulled the rope and lifted the basket. Lily helped him to bring the basket to the ground. + +They opened the basket and hugged the cat. The cat purred and licked their faces. It was happy and grateful. They gave the cat some water and cookies. They decided to take the cat home and ask their mom if they could keep it. + +"Mom, look what we found in the park. A cat in a basket. Can we keep it, please?" Lily and Tom said together. They showed their mom the cat and the basket. + +Mom smiled and looked at the cat. She saw that the cat had a collar with a name and a phone number. She said, "This cat is not a stray. It belongs to someone who loves it. We need to call the number and return the cat to its owner. Maybe they are looking for it and missing it." + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They wanted to keep the cat. But they also understood that the cat had a home and a family. They agreed to call the number and say that they rescued the cat. They hoped that the owner would be happy and thank them. They also hoped that they could visit the cat sometimes and play with it. They loved the cat and the cat loved them. They were proud of their rescue. +Lily and Tom were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and toys and got in the car. Mom and dad had their passports in a large envelope. Passports are papers that let you go to other places. + +"Where are we going, mom?" Lily asked. + +"We are going to visit grandma and grandpa in another country," mom said. "They live very far away, across the sea." + +"Wow, can we see the sea?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, we will see the sea when we get on the plane," dad said. "The plane is a big bird that flies in the sky. It will take us to grandma and grandpa's house." + +Lily and Tom had never been on a plane before. They were curious and a little scared. They got to the airport and followed mom and dad. They saw many people and bags and machines. They gave their passports to a lady who looked at them and smiled. + +"Have a nice trip, kids," she said. + +"Thank you," Lily and Tom said. + +They walked to a gate where they waited for their plane. They saw the plane outside. It was very large and shiny. It had wings and a tail and a nose. They heard it make a loud noise. + +"Is that our plane, dad?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, that's our plane," dad said. "It's time to get on board. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and Tom held mom and dad's hands and walked to the plane. They climbed the stairs and found their seats. They buckled their belts and looked out the window. They saw the plane move and increase its speed. They felt it lift off the ground and fly into the air. They saw the clouds and the sun and the sea. They were amazed and happy. They were going to see grandma and grandpa. They were on a trip. +Tom and Lily are playing with their pet hamster, Fluffy, in the garden. They have a big cage for Fluffy, but they like to let him run around on the grass sometimes. They are careful to watch him and not let him go too far. + +"Look, Fluffy is so fast and funny!" Lily says, laughing as Fluffy chases a butterfly. + +"Yes, he is. But we have to be careful. He might escape and get lost," Tom says, holding a carrot for Fluffy. + +Fluffy runs to Tom and nibbles the carrot. He likes Tom and Lily very much. They are his friends. But he also likes to explore and see new things. He sees a hole in the fence and decides to go inside. He thinks there might be more carrots there. + +"Fluffy, where are you going?" Tom shouts, seeing Fluffy disappear in the hole. + +"Oh no, he escaped!" Lily cries, running after him. + +Tom and Lily follow Fluffy through the hole. They find themselves in a big field with many flowers and trees. They look around, but they can't see Fluffy anywhere. + +"Fluffy, Fluffy, come back!" they call, but Fluffy doesn't answer. + +They keep looking for Fluffy, but they get lost in the field. They don't know which way to go back. They start to feel dizzy and scared. + +"Tom, I want to go home," Lily says, holding Tom's hand. + +"Me too, Lily. But I don't know where home is," Tom says, feeling sad. + +They sit down on the grass and hug each other. They hope Fluffy will come back and help them find their way. + +Fluffy hears their voices and feels sorry. He realizes he made a mistake. He doesn't want to lose his friends. He runs back to the hole and finds Tom and Lily. He squeaks and jumps on them, licking their faces. + +"Fluffy, you're back!" Tom and Lily say, hugging Fluffy. + +"Fluffy, we're sorry we let you escape. We were worried about you," Lily says, stroking Fluffy. + +"Fluffy, we're glad you came back. We were lost and dizzy," Tom says, giving Fluffy a carrot. + +Fluffy nods and snuggles with them. He loves Tom and Lily very much. They are his friends. He decides to stay with them and not escape again. + +They follow Fluffy back to the hole and to the garden. They see their mom and dad waiting for them. They are happy to see them and tell them what happened. + +"Mom, Dad, we're sorry we lost Fluffy. He escaped and we followed him," Tom says. + +"Mom, Dad, we're sorry we got lost and dizzy. Fluffy came back and helped us," Lily says. + +"Mom, Dad, we're happy we found Fluffy. He loves us and we love him," they say together. + +Mom and Dad hug them and Fluffy. They are not angry, but they are relieved. They tell them to be more careful next time and not to let Fluffy escape. They take them and Fluffy inside and give them some cookies and milk. They are a happy family. +Anna and her mom are going on a big plane to see grandma. Anna is very happy. She has a small bag with her toys and books. Mom has a big bag with clothes and other things. Mom also has a small book with her photo and name. It is her passport. It is very important. + +They go to the airport and wait in a long line. Anna sees many people with bags and passports. She wants to see mom's passport too. She asks mom, "Can I see your passport, please?" Mom says, "Sure, but be careful. Don't lose it or drop it. It is very important." + +Mom gives Anna her passport. Anna looks at it and smiles. She sees mom's photo and name. She says, "You look pretty, mom. And your name is mom." Mom laughs and says, "Thank you, Anna. But my name is not mom. It is Lisa. Mom is what you call me, because I am your mom." + +Anna says, "Oh, I see. You are Lisa and mom. And I am Anna and your daughter." Mom says, "That's right. You are very smart, Anna." Anna hugs mom and says, "I love you, mom." Mom says, "I love you too, Anna." + +Then, it is their turn to go to the big gate. A man asks mom for her passport. Mom says, "Here it is." But then, she sees that Anna is not holding it. She says, "Anna, where is my passport?" Anna looks around and says, "I don't know, mom. I gave it back to you." Mom says, "No, you didn't. You must have dropped it or left it somewhere. We have to find it. It is very important." + +Mom and Anna run back to the line and look for the passport. They ask people if they have seen it. They look under the seats and on the floor. They are very worried. They don't want to miss the plane and not see grandma. + +Then, they hear a voice. It says, "Excuse me, are you looking for this?" They turn around and see a boy holding mom's passport. He says, "I found it on the floor. I think you dropped it. Here you go." He gives mom her passport. Mom says, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are very kind and helpful. You saved our trip." She gives the boy a hug and a candy. Anna says, "Thank you, too. You are very nice and friendly. You found mom's important book." She gives the boy a high-five and a sticker. + +The boy smiles and says, "You're welcome. I'm glad I could help. Have a good trip and say hi to grandma." Mom and Anna say, "We will. Bye-bye." They run to the big gate and show the man their passports. He says, "OK, you can go. Have a nice flight." Mom and Anna say, "Thank you." They go to the big plane and find their seats. They buckle their belts and get ready to fly. They are very happy. They have their passports and they are going to see grandma. +Lily and Ben are friends who like to play with their dogs. Lily has a big dog named Spot and Ben has a small dog named Fluffy. One day, they go to the park with their dogs and their leashes. + +"Look, Lily, I can raise Fluffy in the air with my leash!" Ben says, holding his leash high. "He is so light and fun!" + +"That is not nice, Ben," Lily says, shaking her head. "Fluffy does not like that. He is scared and sad. You should be gentle with your dog." + +"But he is so cute and fluffy!" Ben says, not listening to Lily. He raises Fluffy higher and higher, until the leash slips from his hand. Fluffy falls to the ground and yelps. + +"Oh no, Fluffy!" Ben cries, running to his dog. He picks him up and hugs him. "I am sorry, Fluffy. I did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" + +Fluffy licks Ben's face and wags his tail. He is not hurt, but he is still scared. He does not want to play with the leash anymore. + +Lily and Spot come to Ben and Fluffy. Lily is glad that Fluffy is okay, but she is also angry with Ben. + +"Ben, you were very mean to Fluffy," she says. "You should not raise your dog with your leash. That is not how you play with your dog. You should let your dog run and jump and sniff and have fun. That is how you show your dog that you love him." + +Ben feels ashamed. He knows that Lily is right. He loves Fluffy, but he did not show it. He looks at Fluffy and says, "I am sorry, Fluffy. I love you. I will not raise you with my leash again. I will play with you the right way. Do you forgive me?" + +Fluffy barks and wags his tail. He forgives Ben. He loves Ben, too. He wants to play with him the right way. + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Fluffy. Thank you, Lily. You are both good friends. Come on, let's go play together!" + +They all go to play together. They run and jump and sniff and have fun. They are happy. They learn that raising a dog with a leash is not nice. They learn that being gentle and kind is the best way to play with a dog. +Tim and Pat are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a bald man on a bench. He has a big bag of salt. Tim and Pat are curious. + +"Hello, mister," Tim says. "Why do you have salt?" + +The bald man smiles. "I like salt. It makes food tasty. Do you want some?" + +Tim and Pat shake their heads. They do not like salt. Salt is too sour. They like sweet things, like candy and cake. + +"Okay, then," the bald man says. "But be careful. Too much sweet can hurt your teeth. You need to brush them every day." + +Tim and Pat nod. They know how to brush their teeth. They say goodbye to the bald man and go to the swings. They have fun. They are happy. +Lila and Ben like to ride their bikes in the park. They see many things: trees, flowers, birds, dogs. They have fun and laugh. + +One day, they see a big square on the grass. It is brown and has a hole in the middle. Lila and Ben are curious. They want to know what is inside the square. + +"Let's go and look," Lila says. + +"OK, but be careful," Ben says. + +They ride their bikes to the square and stop. They get off their bikes and walk to the hole. They bend down and peek inside. + +They see something shiny and hidden. It looks like a treasure. Lila and Ben are excited. They want to have the treasure. + +"Let's go inside and get it," Lila says. + +"OK, but be quick," Ben says. + +They crawl inside the hole and reach for the treasure. But as soon as they touch it, they hear a loud noise. The square is a trap. It closes and locks. Lila and Ben are trapped inside the square. They scream and cry, but no one hears them. They are scared and sad. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They wanted to make a house with bricks. They found some old bricks in a pile. They were dirty and broken. Lily and Tom did not care. They thought they were good bricks. + +They used a bucket and a shovel to prepare some mud. They used the mud to stick the bricks together. They made a wall with the bricks and the mud. They were happy. They wanted to make a roof with more bricks. + +But then they saw a big worm in the mud. It was long and slimy. It wriggled and squirmed. Lily and Tom were scared. They thought the worm was disgusting. They dropped the bucket and the shovel. They ran away from the wall. + +They did not want to play with the bricks anymore. They wanted to play with something else. They looked for their ball and their teddy. They left the wall with the worm. They hoped the worm would not follow them. They did not like the worm. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to walk in the park with their team. Their team is their dog, Spot, and their cat, Fluffy. Spot and Fluffy are very different, but they get along well. + +One day, they see a big pond in the park. There are many ducks and geese in the pond. Sara and Ben want to feed them some bread. They ask their mom for some bread. Mom gives them some bread and tells them to be careful. + +Sara and Ben walk to the pond with Spot and Fluffy. They break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the ducks and geese. The ducks and geese are happy and make loud noises. Spot and Fluffy watch them from the shore. They do not like the water. + +"Look, Ben, the ducks and geese are eating the bread!" Sara says. + +"Yes, Sara, they are very hungry and friendly!" Ben says. + +"Spot, Fluffy, do you want to say hello to the ducks and geese?" Sara asks. + +Spot and Fluffy shake their heads. They do not want to go near the pond. They are afraid of the water and the loud noises. + +Sara and Ben laugh. They understand that Spot and Fluffy are different from the ducks and geese. They hug their team and tell them they love them. + +They walk back to their mom with their team. They are happy and peaceful. They like to walk in the park with their team. +Jill and Jack like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and around and around. They have fun and laugh a lot. They are humble and kind to other people and animals. + +One day, they see a big jar of mint candy on a bench. They love mint candy. It is sweet and fresh. They run to the bench and grab the jar. They open it and take some candy. They do not see the sign that says "Do not touch. This is for a science experiment." + +They eat the candy and make a face. It is not sweet and fresh. It is bitter and sour. It makes their mouth hurt and their stomach ache. They spit out the candy and cry. They look for help, but no one is there. They are alone and sick. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is a man in a white coat. He is angry and scary. He says "You naughty children! You ruined my experiment! This is not candy, this is medicine. It is very strong and dangerous. You could get very sick or die. You have to come with me to the hospital. Now!" + +He grabs Jill and Jack by the arms and drags them to his car. They scream and kick, but he is too strong. He puts them in the back seat and locks the doors. He drives away fast. He does not care about them. He only cares about his experiment. + +Jill and Jack are very scared and sad. They wish they did not take the candy. They wish they were humble and kind. They wish they were back in the park, jogging and laughing. But it is too late. They do not know what will happen to them. They do not know if they will ever see their parents or friends again. They do not know if they will ever be happy again. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a big box in the park. They open the box and see many toys inside. They are very happy. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. She picks up a doll with long hair and a pink dress. "She is so pretty. I want to play with her." + +"No, I want to play with her!" Ben says. He grabs the doll from Lily's hand. "She is mine. You can have another toy." + +Lily is angry. She stares at Ben with her big blue eyes. Ben stares back with his brown eyes. They do not share. They do not talk. They pull the doll from each other. + +"Stop it!" a voice says. It is Mom. She comes to the park and sees Lily and Ben. She is not happy. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They feel bad. They know they are wrong. + +"We found a box of toys, Mom," Lily says. "We both wanted the same doll. We did not share." + +Mom shakes her head. She looks at the box. She sees a label on it. It says: "Toys for charity. Please donate to the children's hospital." + +Mom sighs. She explains to Lily and Ben that the toys are not theirs. They are for the sick children who need them more. She tells them to put the toys back in the box and say sorry to each other. + +Lily and Ben understand. They feel sorry. They hug each other and say sorry. They put the toys back in the box. They see a teddy bear with a lively smile. They decide to share it. They play with it together. They are friends again. Mom smiles. She is proud of them. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. But they were a little scared to go on it. + +"Let's go on the slide together," Lily said to Max. "It will be fun." + +"I don't know," Max said. "It looks too high and fast." + +Lily took Max's hand and whispered in his ear. "Don't be scared. I have a promise for you. If you go on the slide with me, I will give you a mighty hug and a kiss. And we will be happy." + +Max smiled and nodded. He liked hugs and kisses from Lily. He trusted her promise. He squeezed her hand and said, "OK. Let's go on the slide." + +They climbed up the stairs and sat on the slide. They held each other tight and slid down. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and screamed with joy. They reached the bottom and hugged and kissed each other. They were happy. + +They did it again and again. They had a lot of fun. They felt mighty and brave. They kept their promise. They were best friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big car that can turn into a robot. The car is black and shiny, and it makes loud noises when it changes. Anna and Ben think the car is very cool and popular. + +One day, they bring the car to the park. They want to show it to the other kids. They put the car on the grass and press a button. The car starts to turn into a robot. The other kids see the car and run to it. They want to touch it and play with it. + +"Wow, that is awesome!" one kid says. + +"Can I try it?" another kid asks. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They share the car with the other kids. They take turns to press the button and watch the car turn into a robot and back. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happens. A big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the car and thinks it is a bone. The dog runs to the car and bites it. The car makes a sad noise and stops turning. The dog runs away with the car in its mouth. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They cry and shout. + +"Hey, that is our car!" Anna says. + +"Give it back, bad dog!" Ben says. + +The other kids are sad too. They try to help Anna and Ben. They chase the dog and call it. But the dog is too fast and too strong. The dog runs out of the park with the car. + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They lost their favorite toy. They hug each other and go home. They hope the dog will be nice to the car and not break it. They hope they will find the car again someday. They hope the car will still turn into a robot and be popular. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing, and run on the grass. They saw many birds, flowers, and bugs. They were having fun. + +But then, the sky became dark and gray. The wind blew hard and cold. The birds flew away and the flowers closed. The bugs hid under the rocks. Lily and Ben felt scared. + +"Mom, what is happening?" Lily asked. + +"It's a storm, sweetie. Don't worry, we will go home soon," mom said. + +They packed their toys and walked to the car. But on the way, they heard a loud noise. It was like a big drum. They looked up and saw a bright flash. It was like a big firework. Lily and Ben screamed. + +"Mom, what is that?" Ben asked. + +"It's thunder and lightning, honey. They are part of the storm. They can't hurt us, we are safe in the car," mom said. + +They got in the car and buckled their seatbelts. Mom started the engine and drove away. The noise and the flash followed them for a while. Lily and Ben held each other's hands. They wished the storm would stop. + +After some time, the noise and the flash became softer and smaller. The sky became lighter and blue. The wind became gentle and warm. The birds, the flowers, and the bugs came back. Lily and Ben saw something they recognized. It was the sunshine. It was bright and yellow. It made them happy. + +"Look, mom, the sun is back!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is, darling. The storm is over. We can play again tomorrow," mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were not scared anymore. They liked the sunshine. It was their friend. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their bikes. They saw a big truck with a sign that said "Gas". They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go look," Ben said. "Maybe there are toys or candy." + +"No, Ben, that is not a good idea," Lily said. "Gas is not for playing. Gas is for cars and trucks. It can be dangerous." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the truck and tried to open the door. He pulled and pulled, but it was locked. He kicked and banged, but it did not open. + +Suddenly, the truck driver came out of a shop. He saw Ben and got very angry. He shouted at Ben and waved his hands. + +"Hey, kid, what are you doing? Get away from my truck! That is gas, not a toy! You could make a big boom!" + +Ben was scared. He let go of the door and ran back to Lily. He was trembling and crying. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know," he said. + +Lily hugged him and tried to calm him down. + +"It's okay, Ben, you are safe now. But you should listen to me next time. I am older and wiser than you. I know what is good and what is bad. Gas is bad for playing. Gas is only for cars and trucks." + +Ben nodded and wiped his tears. + +"Okay, Lily, I will listen to you. You are my big sister and my best friend. You are very wise." + +They got on their bikes and rode away from the truck. They decided to play somewhere else, where there was no gas. They had fun and learned a lesson. +Lily was a pretty girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Daisy. Daisy had long yellow hair and a pink dress. Lily liked to brush Daisy's hair and make her look nice. + +One day, Lily saw a bottle of lotion on her mom's dresser. She thought it was for Daisy's hair. She took the bottle and went to her room. She poured some lotion on Daisy's hair and rubbed it. But the lotion made Daisy's hair sticky and messy. Lily tried to fix it, but it only got worse. + +Mom came to Lily's room and saw what she had done. She was very angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do to Daisy? You ruined her hair! That lotion is not for dolls, it is for skin. You are not allowed to touch my things without asking. You are a naughty girl!" + +Lily felt sorry and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to make Daisy pretty. I didn't know the lotion was bad. Please don't punish me!" + +Mom sighed and said, "Lily, you have to learn to be careful and respectful. You have to listen to me and follow the rules. As a punishment, you have to clean up this mess and put away your dolls. You can't play with them for the rest of the day. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I will do as you say. I'm sorry, Mom. I love you." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to be a good girl and make better choices. Now go and do your punishment. And tomorrow, we will wash Daisy's hair and try to make her pretty again." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they tease each other. They say funny things to make the other one laugh or cry. + +One day, Lily has a new toy. It is a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. She shows it to Tom and says, "Look at my doll. She is so pretty and nice. You don't have a doll like this. You only have cars and trucks. They are boring and ugly." + +Tom feels sad and angry. He wants to make Lily feel the same. He sees a banana on the table. He picks it up and peels it. He puts it in his mouth and says, "Look at me. I have a banana. It is so yummy and sweet. You don't have a banana like this. You only have water and bread. They are dry and sour." + +Lily feels hungry and jealous. She wants to have a banana too. She tries to grab it from Tom's mouth. But Tom is faster. He runs away and says, "Ha ha, you can't catch me. I have the banana and you don't. It is so easy to tease you. You are slow and silly." + +Lily and Tom chase each other around the room. They knock over the toys and the books. They make a lot of noise and mess. They forget about the doll and the banana. They only want to tease each other. + +But then they hear a loud voice. It is Mom. She comes in and sees the chaos. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you teasing each other? Why are you making such a mess? You are not being nice or good. You are being naughty and rude. You have to stop and say sorry. And you have to share your toys and your food. Or you will have no toys and no food. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom feel scared and sorry. They nod their heads and say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will stop teasing. We will share our toys and our food. We will be nice and good. We will be friends." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's better. I'm glad you are friends. Friends don't tease. Friends help and care. Friends have fun and love. Now, let's clean up this mess. And then you can have some banana and some water. And you can play with the doll and the cars. But nicely and gently. OK?" + +Lily and Tom say, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom." They help Mom clean up the mess. They share the banana and the water. They play with the doll and the cars. But nicely and gently. They don't tease each other anymore. They are happy and good. They are friends. +Tom was playing with his toy car in the garden. He liked to make it zoom and beep on the grass. He pretended he was a hero who could drive very fast and save people. + +But then he saw a big dog running towards him. The dog was barking and growling. Tom was scared. He dropped his toy car and ran to the house. The dog chased him and grabbed his toy car in its mouth. + +"Help! Help!" Tom cried. He ran to his mom, who was in the kitchen. "Mom, a big dog took my toy car!" + +Mom hugged Tom and made him calm. "Don't worry, Tom. I will get your toy car back. You stay here and be brave, OK?" + +Mom went outside and saw the dog. The dog was still holding the toy car, but it looked sad and lonely. Mom spoke to the dog in a soft voice. "Hello, dog. You are a nice dog, aren't you? You just wanted to play, right? But you can't play with Tom's toy car. That is his favorite toy. How about we replace it with something else? Look, I have a ball for you. Do you like balls?" + +The dog wagged its tail and dropped the toy car. It sniffed the ball and licked Mom's hand. Mom threw the ball and the dog ran after it. Mom picked up the toy car and checked if it was OK. It was a bit dirty, but not broken. + +Mom went back to the house and gave Tom his toy car. Tom was happy and hugged Mom. "Thank you, Mom. You are my hero. You saved my toy car and made a new friend." + +Mom smiled and kissed Tom. "You are welcome, Tom. You are my hero too. You were very calm and brave. And you are right, the dog is our new friend. Maybe we can play with him again someday." +Anna loved her pony very much. She gave him apples and carrots every day. She brushed his hair and rode him in the field. She named him Star, because he had a white star on his forehead. + +One day, Anna's cousin Ben came to visit. He saw Star and wanted to ride him too. Anna said no, because Star was her pony and she did not want to share. Ben was angry and said Anna was selfish. He ran to the barn and grabbed Star's reins. + +"Let go of Star!" Anna shouted. She ran after Ben and tried to pull Star back. But Ben was stronger and he dragged Star out of the barn. He jumped on Star's back and kicked him hard. Star was scared and hurt. He neighed and ran away. + +Anna cried and followed Star. She wanted to comfort him and say sorry. But Star was too fast and Ben did not stop. They ran across the road and did not see the big truck. The truck honked and hit Star and Ben. There was a loud noise and a lot of blood. + +Anna saw what happened and screamed. She fell to the ground and sobbed. She lost her pony and her cousin. She wished she had shared Star with Ben. She realized she was selfish and it was her fault. She was very sad and alone. +Poppy was a good dog. She liked to play with her ball and run in the park. She loved her family very much. They gave her food and water and hugs. They also gave her a collar with a tag. The tag had her name and their phone number. They said it was to keep her safe. + +One day, Poppy saw a squirrel in the park. She wanted to chase it. She ran very fast and forgot about her ball. She did not see the big gate that was open. She ran out of the park and into the street. There were many cars and noises. Poppy was scared and lost. + +A man saw Poppy and grabbed her. He did not look nice. He had a big bag and a mean face. He put Poppy in his bag and closed it. Poppy barked and tried to get out. She wanted to go back to her family. + +"Shut up, you stupid dog!" the man said. "You are worth a lot of money. I will sell you to someone who will pay me well. You are not a pet, you are a thing." + +Poppy did not understand. She was not a thing, she was a good dog. She had a family who valued her. They would miss her and look for her. She hoped they would find her soon. But they did not. The man took her far away and sold her to another man who was not nice. Poppy never saw her family again. She was very sad and lonely. She wished she had stayed in the park with her ball. +Tom and Lily are playing a game. They hide behind the sofa and the chairs. They try to peek at each other without being seen. They giggle and whisper. + +"Where are you, Lily?" Tom asks. + +"I'm here, Tom. Can you find me?" Lily answers. + +Tom crawls on the floor and looks around. He sees a flash of orange. It is Lily's hair. He sneaks up behind her and taps her shoulder. + +"Boo! I found you!" Tom says. + +Lily screams and laughs. She turns around and hugs Tom. + +"You are good at this game, Tom. You are very sneaky!" Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are good too. You have a nice orange hair. It is very pretty!" Tom says. + +They smile and kiss. They are happy. They love to play this game. They love each other. +Tom and Sam are kids who like to play. They have a big box of toys in their room. They can make cars, planes, robots, and animals with their toys. They have a lot of fun together. + +One day, their mom says they have to go to the store with her. She says they need to buy some food and clothes. She says they have to hurry, because the store will close soon. Tom and Sam do not want to go. They want to play more. + +"Mom, can we play for a little more?" Tom asks. + +"No, we have to go now. Put your toys away and get your coats," mom says. + +"But mom, we are making a cool robot. We want to finish it," Sam says. + +"Sorry, kids, but we have no time. We can play later. Come on, let's go," mom says. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They do not like to delay their play. They think it is not fair. They put their toys away slowly. They hope mom will change her mind. They do not get their coats. + +Mom sees them. She is not happy. She says they are being naughty. She says they have to listen to her. She says they have to go now or they will miss the store. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They do not want to make mom angry. They say they are sorry. They get their coats. They follow mom to the car. + +Mom drives to the store. She says she loves them. She says they are fine kids. She says they can play when they get back. She says they can finish their robot. She says they can have a treat. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They say they love mom. They say they are sorry for delaying. They say they will be good at the store. They say they are excited to play later. They hug mom. They smile. +Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it. + +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were cooking and serving food. Lily had a big orange dish that she filled with blocks and beads. Tom had a small blue dish that he filled with cars and balls. + +"Let's number our dishes," Lily said. "I have one, two, three, four, five, six things in my dish. How many do you have?" + +Tom counted his things. "I have one, two, three, four things in my dish. You have more than me." + +Lily smiled. "That's okay. You can have some of mine. Here, take this block and this bead. Now we both have five things." + +Tom took the block and the bead and put them in his dish. He said thank you to Lily. They were happy and shared their dishes. + +But then, their big brother Ben came into the living room. He saw the dishes and the toys. He was bored and wanted to play too. But he did not ask Lily and Tom. He just grabbed the orange dish and dumped all the things on the floor. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily cried. "Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine now," Ben said. "It's a cool dish. I like the color. You can have the blue one." + +He ran away with the orange dish, leaving Lily and Tom with the blue dish and the toys on the floor. Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They did not like Ben. He was mean and did not share. They wished they had their orange dish back. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Sara saw a big butterfly. She wanted to catch it and put it in a jar. She left her doll on the grass and ran after the butterfly. + +Ben saw Sara's doll and had an idea. He took his car and drove it over the doll. He made loud noises and laughed. He thought it was funny to make the doll dirty and messy. + +Sara came back with the butterfly in a jar. She was happy until she saw what Ben did to her doll. She was very sad and angry. She pointed at Ben and said, "You are mean! You ruined my doll! I don't want to play with you anymore!" + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he was not funny, he was rude. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was wrong. I should not have touched your doll. Can you forgive me?" + +Sara looked at Ben and saw he was sincere. She said, "I forgive you, Ben. But you have to be nice to my doll and to the butterfly. They are not toys, they are alive. You have to be gentle and kind to them." + +Ben nodded and agreed. He helped Sara clean her doll and they let the butterfly go. They hugged and made up. They learned to respect each other and their things. They played happily again. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but they want more. They ask their mom and dad for new toys every day. + +One day, mom and dad say they have a surprise for them. They say they will arrive soon with a big box. Ben and Mia are very happy. They think the box has many new toys for them. + +They wait and wait. They look out the window. They see mom and dad come with a big box. They run to the door. They want to open the box. + +But when they open the box, they see nothing. The box is empty. There are zero toys in the box. Ben and Mia are very sad. They cry and cry. They ask mom and dad why they have no toys. + +Mom and dad say they have a lesson for them. They say they have too many toys already. They say they should be happy with what they have. They say they should use their imagination to play with their toys. They say they should be original and creative. + +They give Ben and Mia some paper, crayons, scissors and glue. They say they can make their own toys with these things. They say they can make anything they want. + +Ben and Mia stop crying. They think for a while. They decide to try. They start to cut, draw, glue and fold. They make cars, planes, animals, dolls and more. They have fun. They play with their own toys. They are proud of their work. + +They show mom and dad their toys. Mom and dad are very happy. They hug and kiss them. They say they are very clever and smart. They say they are very original and unique. They say they love them very much. + +Ben and Mia are very happy. They say they love mom and dad very much. They say they are sorry for asking for more toys. They say they are happy with what they have. They say they have learned a lesson. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big, hairy dog. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +"Can we play with the dog?" Lily asks Ben. + +"Sure, why not?" Ben says. "He looks nice. Maybe he is lonely." + +They run and throw a ball for the dog. The dog chases the ball and brings it back. He barks and jumps. Lily and Ben laugh and hug the dog. + +A man comes to the park. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog's name. The dog runs to the man. + +"Hello, I'm sorry if my dog bothered you," the man says. "He loves to play with kids. His name is Max." + +"He didn't bother us," Lily says. "He is fun. We like him. What is your name?" + +"I'm Tom," the man says. "Do you want to play with Max some more? He likes you too." + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. "Can we include Max in our games?" + +"Of course," Tom says. "He would love that. What games do you play?" + +"We play tag, hide and seek, and wink," Lily says. + +"Wink? How do you play wink?" Tom asks. + +Lily explains the rules. She says one person is the winker. The winker closes one eye and looks at someone. That person has to run to the winker and hug them. The others have to catch them. The winker and the hugger are the winners. + +"That sounds fun," Tom says. "Can I be the winker?" + +"Sure," Lily says. "But you have to wink at Max too. He is part of our team." + +"OK," Tom says. He winks at Max. Max wags his tail and runs to Tom. He jumps on him and licks his face. Lily and Ben run after them. They all laugh and hug. They have a good time. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big rock. It is brown and hard. + +"Look, Lily, a rock!" Ben says. He picks up the rock and holds it in his hands. + +"Can I see?" Lily asks. She wants to touch the rock too. + +Ben gives the rock to Lily. She feels it. It is warm. She wonders why. + +"Maybe the sun made it warm," she says. "Or maybe it has a brain inside." + +"A brain?" Ben says. He laughs. "Rocks don't have brains. They are not alive." + +"How do you know?" Lily says. She is curious. "Maybe they do. Maybe they think and talk when we are not here." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not believe Lily. He thinks she is silly. + +"Let's play with the rock," he says. "We can roll it, or throw it, or make a tower with it." + +Lily nods. She likes to play with the rock too. But she still wonders if it has a brain. She thinks it is a special rock. She whispers to it. + +"Hello, rock. Do you have a brain? Can you hear me?" +Lily and Max were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and try new things. One day, they decided to go to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a fountain. + +"Can we play on the slide, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful and don't go too fast," mom said. + +Lily and Max ran to the slide and took turns sliding down. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. But then, Max had an idea. + +"Let's slide together!" he said to Lily. + +"OK, but how?" Lily asked. + +"Easy, you sit in front of me and I hold your waist. Then we slide down together. It will be more fun!" Max said. + +Lily agreed and they climbed up the ladder. They sat on the slide and got ready to go down. + +"Are you ready?" Max asked. + +"Yes!" Lily said. + +"OK, one, two, three, go!" Max said. + +They slid down the slide together, faster and faster. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They were having a blast. But then, they saw something that made them scream. + +"Stop! Stop! Stop!" they shouted. + +At the end of the slide, there was a big pile of pizza. Someone had left it there and forgotten about it. Lily and Max slid right into it and got covered in cheese, sauce and pepperoni. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. + +"Ew!" Max said. + +They looked at each other and burst into laughter. They were messy, but they didn't care. They had just had the most adventurous slide ever. + +Mom came running to see what had happened. She saw Lily and Max covered in pizza and smiled. + +"Looks like you had a lot of fun," she said. + +"We did, mom, we did!" Lily and Max said. + +"Come on, let's go home and clean up. And maybe we can have some pizza for lunch," mom said. + +"Yay!" Lily and Max said. + +They hugged mom and walked home, still giggling. They had just had the best day ever. +Sam likes to help Mom in the kitchen. He likes to add things to the bowl and mix them. Mom says they are making a cake. Sam is happy. + +Mom gives Sam an egg. She says, "Break the egg and add it to the bowl." Sam tries to break the egg, but it is hard. He hits it on the table. The egg cracks and spills. Sam sees something red and gooey inside the egg. He is scared. + +Mom sees the egg and says, "Oh no, this egg is bad. It has a dead baby bird inside. We can't use it for the cake. Throw it away." Sam feels sad for the dead bird. He says, "Sorry, bird. Sorry, Mom." + +Mom hugs Sam and says, "It's okay, Sam. It's not your fault. Sometimes eggs are bad. We have more eggs. Let's get another one and try again." She gets a new egg and shows Sam how to break it gently. Sam sees the yellow and white inside the egg. He says, "This egg is good. No bird. Can I add it to the bowl?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. You are a good helper. Let's add some flour and sugar and milk and butter and make a yummy cake." Sam smiles and adds the egg to the bowl. He mixes it with a spoon. He says, "I like to make cake with Mom." Mom says, "I like to make cake with you, too." They are happy. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a tall man with a big bag. The bag had money in it. The man put the bag on a bench and went to buy a drink. + +"Look, money!" Tim said. "Let's take some and buy toys!" + +"No, that's bad!" Sam said. "The money is not ours. The man will be angry." + +But Tim did not listen. He ran to the bag and opened it. He took some money and put it in his pocket. He smiled and said, "Come on, Sam, let's go!" + +Sam was scared. He did not want to take the money. He wanted to tell the man. But he did not want to lose Tim. He followed Tim to the toy store. + +The tall man came back. He saw his bag was open. He saw some money was gone. He was very angry. He looked around and saw Tim and Sam. He ran after them. + +"Hey, you! Stop!" he shouted. "You took my money! Give it back!" + +Tim and Sam heard the man. They were very scared. They tried to run away. But the man was faster. He caught them and grabbed the money. He called the police. + +The police came and took Tim and Sam. They were in big trouble. They cried and said they were sorry. But it was too late. They had to go to the police station. They had to part from their parents. They had to part from each other. They were very sad. They wished they had not taken the money. They wished they had listened to Sam. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play. One day, they decided to play in the kitchen while Mom was out. They saw many things in the kitchen that looked fun. They saw pots and pans, spoons and forks, plates and cups, and a big cake on the table. + +"Let's make some noise!" Tom said. He took a pot and a spoon and banged them together. Lily took a pan and a fork and did the same. They made a lot of noise and laughed. + +"Let's make some mess!" Lily said. She took a plate and threw it on the floor. It broke into pieces. Tom took a cup and did the same. They made a lot of mess and laughed. + +"Let's eat some cake!" Tom said. He took a knife and cut a big slice of cake. Lily took another knife and did the same. They ate some cake and smeared it on their faces and clothes. They made a lot of cake and laughed. + +Mom came back and saw the kitchen. She was very angry. She saw the noise, the mess, and the cake. She saw Tom and Lily with cake on their faces and clothes. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked. "You destroyed the kitchen! The kitchen was nice and clean, and now it is not! You are very naughty!" + +Tom and Lily stopped laughing. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play. We did not mean to destroy the kitchen. We will help you clean it." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I know you wanted to play, but you should not play in the kitchen. The kitchen is not a place to play. The kitchen is a place to cook and eat. You should play in your room or in the yard. And you should not waste food. The cake was for Dad's birthday. Now we have to make a new one." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand, Mom. We will not play in the kitchen again. We will play in our room or in the yard. And we will not waste food. We will help you make a new cake for Dad's birthday." + +Mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. I love you, but please be more careful next time. Now let's clean the kitchen and make a new cake." + +Tom and Lily hugged Mom. They said, "We love you, Mom. We will be more careful next time. We will help you clean the kitchen and make a new cake." + +They cleaned the kitchen and made a new cake. They had a nice time. They learned a lesson. They did not destroy the kitchen again. +Tim and Mia liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had cars, dolls, balls and blocks. They made up stories and games with their toys. Sometimes they shared, and sometimes they fought. + +One day, Tim wanted to play with Mia's doll. He asked her, "Can I have your doll?" Mia said, "No, this is my doll. You can have your car." Tim did not like that answer. He wanted the doll. He grabbed the doll from Mia's hands. Mia was angry. She screamed, "Give me back my doll!" + +Mia's scream made their mom come out of the house. She saw Tim holding the doll and Mia crying. She was not happy. She questioned Tim, "Why did you take Mia's doll?" Tim said, "I wanted to play with it." Mom said, "That is not nice. You have to ask and wait for an answer. You have to share and be kind. How would you feel if Mia took your car?" + +Tim felt bad. He knew he did something wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I feel sad if you take my car." He gave the doll back to Mia. Mia said, "Thank you, Tim. I'm sorry I screamed. Do you want to play with the doll together?" Tim said, "Yes, please. Can we also play with the car?" + +Mom smiled. She was glad they made up. She said, "That is a good result. You are both good kids. Now you can play nicely in the garden. But be careful, the sun is harsh. Wear your hats and drink some water." Tim and Mia nodded. They put on their hats and drank some water. Then they played with their toys in the garden. They had fun and did not fight. +Sara liked to study. She liked to look at books and learn new things. She had many books in her room. She had books about animals, books about colors, books about shapes, and books about numbers. + +One day, Sara wanted to study about butter. She had heard her mom say that butter was good for bread and cake. She wanted to know what butter was and how it was made. She looked for a book about butter in her room, but she could not find one. + +She went to the kitchen and asked her mom. "Mom, can you tell me about butter?" she said. + +"Sure, Sara. Butter is a food that comes from milk. Milk comes from cows. Cows are big animals that live on farms. They eat grass and hay. Do you know what grass and hay are?" her mom said. + +"Yes, mom. Grass and hay are green and yellow plants. I see them when we go to the park. But how does milk become butter?" Sara said. + +"Well, Sara, milk has to be shaken a lot to become butter. When you shake milk, it separates into two parts: a solid part and a liquid part. The solid part is butter, and the liquid part is buttermilk. You can use butter to make bread and cake more yummy, and you can use buttermilk to make pancakes and biscuits. Do you like pancakes and biscuits?" her mom said. + +"Yes, mom. I love pancakes and biscuits. Can we make some today?" Sara said. + +"Of course, Sara. We can make some for lunch. You are a lucky girl. You have a lot of books to study, and you have a lot of butter to eat. You are very smart and very sweet, just like butter." her mom said. + +Sara hugged her mom and smiled. She was happy. She had learned something new about butter, and she was going to have a delicious lunch. She thought that studying was fun, and that butter was wonderful. +Sara and Ben like to act. They act in front of their mom and dad. They act like animals, like people, like things. They make funny sounds and faces. They have fun. + +One day, they decide to act like the sea. They put on blue clothes and lie on the floor. They move up and down like waves. They make splash and whoosh sounds. They pretend to be fish and boats and shells. + +Mom and dad watch them and smile. They say, "You are very good at acting. You are very original. We have never seen anyone act like the sea before." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you, mom and dad. We like to act. We like to be original. We have a surprise for you." + +They get up and run to their room. They come back with a big paper. On the paper, they have drawn the sea. They have used crayons and stickers and glitter. They have drawn fish and boats and shells. They have written, "We love you, mom and dad." + +They give the paper to mom and dad. Mom and dad are very surprised. They hug Sara and Ben. They say, "This is the best gift ever. You are very creative. You are very original. We love you, too." +Tom and Lily were at the toy store with their mom. They saw many toys that they liked, but mom said they could only choose one each. Tom saw a big truck that had many buttons. He liked to press buttons and make noises. He ran to the truck and said, "Mom, can I have this one? It is so exciting!" + +Mom looked at the price tag and shook her head. "No, Tom, this truck is too expensive. It costs a lot of money. We can't buy it today. Maybe you can find another toy that you like." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He wanted the truck very much. He thought mom was not fair. He said, "But mom, I love this truck! It is the best toy ever! Please, please, please, can I have it?" + +Mom sighed and said, "Tom, I know you love the truck, but we have a budget. A budget is a plan for how much money we can spend. We can't spend more than we have. You have to understand that. Why don't you look at the other toys? Maybe you can find something that is fun and not too expensive." + +Tom did not want to look at the other toys. He only wanted the truck. He crossed his arms and pouted. He said, "No, I don't want anything else. I only want the truck. It is not fair. You are mean, mom." + +Mom felt sad and frustrated. She did not like to see Tom unhappy, but she also had to teach him about money and choices. She said, "Tom, I am not mean. I love you very much. But I can't buy you everything you want. Sometimes you have to be happy with what you have. And sometimes you have to wait and save for what you want. That is how life works. Now, please, stop being rude and choose another toy. Or we can go home without any toys." + +Tom did not like what mom said. He did not want to go home without any toys. He wanted the truck. He thought mom was wrong. He said, "No, you are wrong, mom. You don't love me. You don't care about me. You are the worst mom ever." + +Mom felt hurt and angry. She did not like to hear Tom say those things. She said, "Tom, that is enough. You are being very disrespectful and ungrateful. You are hurting my feelings. You need to apologize right now. Or we will go home without any toys and you will go to your room." + +Tom did not want to apologize. He did not think he did anything wrong. He said, "No, I won't apologize. You are the one who should apologize. You are the one who is hurting my feelings. You are the one who is being mean." + +Mom had enough. She said, "Tom, that is it. We are leaving. Come on, Lily, let's go. We will come back another day when Tom is in a better mood." + +Lily had been quiet the whole time. She had chosen a small doll that she liked. She did not care about the truck or the buttons. She said, "OK, mom, let's go. I'm sorry, Tom, maybe next time you can get the truck." + +Mom took Lily's hand and walked to the door. Tom realized that he had made a big mistake. He did not want to leave the toy store. He did not want to lose his mom's love. He did not want to go to his room. He wanted the truck, but he also wanted mom to be happy. He said, "Mom, wait, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was rude and ungrateful. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. I love you, mom. Please, don't be mad at me." + +Mom stopped and turned around. She saw Tom's face. He looked sad and sorry. She felt sorry for him too. She said, "Tom, I'm glad you are sorry. I love you too, Tom. But you still have to learn to be more respectful and grateful. And you still have to accept that you can't have everything you want. Do you understand that?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I'm sorry. Can we still get a toy?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, Tom, we can still get a toy. But not the truck. It is too expensive. You can choose something else that is fun and not too expensive. And maybe, if you are good and save your money, you can get the truck another day. OK?" + +Tom smiled and said, "OK, mom, thank you. I will be good and save my money. And I will be happy with what I have. Can I hug you, mom?" + +Mom hugged +Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play with blocks and cars and dolls. One day, they saw a big map on the wall. It had many colors and shapes. Tom pointed at a red shape and said, "This is my nation. It is the best nation. It has many cars and toys and candy." + +Anna looked at the map and saw a blue shape next to the red one. She said, "This is my nation. It is the best nation. It has many flowers and animals and books." + +Tom and Anna started to argue. They said, "My nation is better than your nation. Your nation is bad and silly and boring." They got angry and pushed each other. They knocked down the map and the blocks and the cars and the dolls. + +The teacher came and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Tom and Anna, what did you do? You made a big mess and you were not nice to each other. You have to clean up and say sorry. You have to share and be kind. All nations are good and different and special." + +Tom and Anna felt bad. They regretted what they did. They said sorry to each other and to the teacher. They cleaned up and hugged. They said, "We are sorry. We are friends. We like all nations. We can learn and play together." + +The teacher smiled and said, "That's good. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, you can choose a book to read. There are many books available. They have stories and pictures and facts about different nations. You can enjoy and respect them." + +Tom and Anna nodded and said, "Thank you, teacher. We like books. We want to read and learn more." They picked a book and sat down. They looked at the map and the blocks and the cars and the dolls. They said, "We have many things to play with and many nations to discover. We are happy." +Tom had a big red bow on his head. He liked his bow very much. He wore it every day to play with his friends. He thought his bow made him look nice and happy. + +One day, a mean dog saw Tom and his bow. The dog did not like the bow. He thought it was a toy for him. He ran to Tom and barked very loud. He wanted to take the bow from Tom's head. + +Tom was scared of the dog. He did not want to lose his bow. He ran away from the dog and shouted for help. He hoped someone would come and save him and his bow. + +Sara was Tom's friend. She heard Tom's shout and saw the dog. She was brave and smart. She picked up a stick and threw it far away. The dog saw the stick and ran after it. He forgot about Tom and his bow. + +Tom was very happy and relieved. He thanked Sara for helping him. He hugged his bow and said he would never let it go. Sara smiled and said she liked his bow too. She said it was not a toy for dogs. It was a gift for friends. They walked away together, holding hands. They had a terrible scare, but a wonderful friendship. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was the queen doll. The queen doll had a shiny crown, a long dress and a big smile. Lily loved to make the queen doll talk and sing and dance. + +One day, Lily's friend Ben came to play. Ben saw the queen doll and wanted to play with it too. He took the queen doll from Lily and said, "This is my doll now. She is the best doll ever." Lily was sad and angry. She wanted her queen doll back. + +Lily said, "No, Ben, that is my doll. I got her for my birthday. She is my queen and I love her. Please give her back to me." Ben said, "No, Lily, I like this doll. She is so pretty and fun. I want to keep her. You have many other dolls. You can play with them." + +Lily and Ben started to fight over the queen doll. They pulled and tugged and shouted. The queen doll was scared and sad. She did not like to be fought over. She wanted to be with Lily, who was kind and gentle. + +Then, Lily's mom came in. She saw Lily and Ben fighting and said, "Stop, stop, what is going on here? Why are you fighting over a doll?" Lily and Ben told her what happened. Lily's mom said, "Ben, you cannot take Lily's doll without asking. That is not nice. Lily, you cannot hit Ben. That is not nice either. You have to share and be friends." + +Lily's mom took the queen doll and gave her back to Lily. She said, "Lily, this is your doll. You can play with her, but you have to let Ben play with her too, if he asks nicely. Ben, you can play with the queen doll, but you have to ask Lily first and give her back when she wants. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry to each other and to the queen doll. They hugged and smiled. They decided to play together with the queen doll and the other dolls. They made the queen doll the leader of a great party. The queen doll was happy and so were Lily and Ben. They had fun and learned to share. +Sara and Tom are friends. They live in a big house in the city. The city has many cars and people and noises. Sara and Tom like to play in the park near their house. The park has grass and trees and swings. + +One day, Sara and Tom see a big truck in the street. The truck has a picture of a circus on it. The truck has a loud horn. The truck stops near the park. A man comes out of the truck. The man has a red nose and a funny hat. He says, "Come, come, children! Come and see the circus! It is fun and amazing! Come and get a ticket!" + +Sara and Tom are curious. They want to see the circus. They run to the truck. They do not tell their mom and dad. They do not look for cars. They forget the rules. The man gives them a ticket. He says, "Hurry, hurry, the circus is leaving soon! Come and get in the truck!" + +Sara and Tom get in the truck. The truck is dark and smelly. There are many other children in the truck. They look scared and sad. The man closes the door. He locks it. He laughs. He says, "Ha, ha, ha! You are not going to the circus! You are going to work for me! You will do tricks and clean and beg for money! You will never see your home again!" + +Sara and Tom cry. They want their mom and dad. They want their park. They want their friends. They are sorry. They wish they did not go to the truck. They wish they did not listen to the man. They wish they stayed in the city. The city is wide and loud and busy. But the city is also their home. And home is where they are safe and happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing and a football. Lily wants to swing. Tom wants to play football. + +"Can I swing first?" Lily asks. + +"No, I want to swing first!" Tom says. + +They both run to the swing. They push and pull. They are clumsy. They fall down. They hurt their knees. They cry. + +A nice lady comes. She sees Lily and Tom. She has a band-aid and a cookie. She helps them. + +"Here, have a band-aid and a cookie. You will feel better soon," she says. + +"Thank you, nice lady," Lily and Tom say. + +They smile. They share the cookie. They are friends again. + +"Can we play together?" Lily asks. + +"OK, we can play together," Tom says. + +They take turns on the swing. They kick the football. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Max were playing on the beach with their buckets and shovels. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes. They saw a big boat on the water. It was white and shiny. It had a tall pole and a big cloth. + +"Look, Max, a yacht!" Lily said, pointing at the boat. + +"What's a yacht?" Max asked. + +"It's a big boat that goes fast and far. Daddy said he would take us on a yacht someday," Lily said. + +"I want to go on a yacht too," Max said. + +They ran to the edge of the water and waved at the boat. The boat waved back and honked its horn. Lily and Max laughed and clapped. + +The boat went faster and faster. It made big waves. The waves came to the shore and splashed Lily and Max. They got wet and cold. + +"Uh-oh, our sand castles!" Lily said. + +They looked at their sand castles. The waves had washed them away. The sand was all over the place. + +"Scatter!" Max said. + +They picked up their buckets and shovels and ran away from the water. They found a dry spot and started to make new sand castles. + +But they felt funny. They felt dizzy. They felt sick. + +"Max, I don't feel good," Lily said. + +"Me neither, Lily. I think the waves made us dizzy," Max said. + +They lay down on the sand and closed their eyes. They hoped they would feel better soon. + +They heard a voice. It was Daddy. + +"Lily, Max, are you okay?" Daddy asked. + +He saw them lying on the sand. He saw their wet clothes and their scattered sand castles. He saw the yacht on the water. + +He knew what had happened. + +He picked them up and hugged them. + +"Come on, kids, let's go home. You need some rest and some soup. Maybe another day we can go on a yacht. But not today," Daddy said. + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt too dizzy to talk. They cuddled with Daddy and went home. They hoped they would feel better soon. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with a ball in the park. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they miss the ball and it rolls away. They run after it and laugh. + +One day, they see a large dog in the park. The dog is black and has big teeth. It barks at them and runs towards them. Tom and Sam are scared. They drop the ball and run away. The dog chases them and tries to bite them. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Sam shout. "Go away, dog! Leave us alone!" + +They see a fence at the end of the park. They think they can climb over it and be safe. They run to the fence and try to jump over it. Tom goes first. He grabs the top of the fence and pulls himself up. He looks back and sees Sam behind him. + +"Come on, Sam! You can do it!" Tom says. "Hurry, hurry!" + +Sam runs to the fence and jumps. He tries to grab the top of the fence, but he misses. He falls back to the ground. The dog is right behind him. It jumps on him and bites him. Sam screams and cries. Tom watches and cries too. He can't help his friend. He is stuck on the fence. He wishes he had never played with the ball in the park. He wishes he had never seen the large dog. He wishes he could go back in time and change everything. But he can't. He can only watch and cry. The end. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside at night. They look at the sky and see many stars. They try to count them, but there are too many. + +"Look, Lila, a shooting star!" Ben says. He points at a thin line of light that moves fast across the sky. + +"Wow, Ben, it is so pretty!" Lila says. She closes her eyes and makes a wish. She wishes for a new doll. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben says. He closes his eyes and makes a wish. He wishes for a new car. + +They open their eyes and smile at each other. They hope their wishes will come true. + +But then they hear their mom calling them. "Lila, Ben, time for bed!" + +They rush inside the house. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They hug their mom and say good night. + +They lie in their beds and look out the window. They see the stars twinkling. They wonder if the shooting star heard their wishes. They fall asleep and dream of their new toys. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a man with a big, green mustache. He was sitting on a bench and reading a book. + +"Look at his mustache!" Lily whispered to Tom. "It is so funny and green!" + +Tom nodded. He wanted to touch the mustache. He walked slowly to the man and reached out his hand. + +"Hello, sir," he said. "Can I poke your mustache?" + +The man looked up from his book. He was surprised and angry. He frowned and shook his head. + +"No, you can't poke my mustache!" he said. "It is rude and it hurts!" + +He closed his book and stood up. He walked away from the bench. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to make the man mad. They ran after him and said sorry. + +"Sorry, sir," they said. "We did not know it hurts. We just wanted to see your mustache. It is very green and cool." + +The man stopped and turned around. He saw the children's faces. They were sad and sincere. He felt a little better. He smiled and stroked his mustache. + +"Thank you, children," he said. "I'm sorry I was rude. My mustache is green because I dyed it for a party. It is not real. You can poke it if you want. But be gentle, please." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They thanked the man and poked his mustache. It was soft and ticklish. They laughed and the man laughed too. They became friends and talked for a while. They learned that the man's name was Bob and he liked books and jokes. They told him their names and what they liked.

They hear a noise inside. It is a beep beep beep. They are scared. They think it is a monster. They run away and tell Mom. + +Mom is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. She sees Lila and Ben running to her. They are crying and shouting. They tell her about the ugly metal thing. They say it is a monster. + +Mom hugs them and calms them down. She tells them it is not a monster. It is a old radio. Someone left it in the park. It is broken and dirty. It makes noise because it has a battery. She tells them it is not scary. It is just trash. + +Lila and Ben feel better. They understand what the metal thing is. They are not afraid anymore. They say sorry to Mom for bothering her. They ask her if they can play some more.

They miss the snow. They go to their room. They look at their snow toys. They have a snow globe, a snowflake book, and a snowman hat. + +"Maybe we can dream of snow," Ben says. "If we close our eyes and think hard, we can see snow in our heads." + +"OK, let's try," Lily says. They lie on their bed. They close their eyes. They think of snow. + +They dream of snow.

She smiles and says, "Zero is a number that means nothing. It is like an empty circle. Look, there are four zeros on the lock. That is the code to open it. You have to turn the lock to zero, zero, zero, zero." + +Ben and Lily are happy and curious. They turn the lock to zero, zero, zero, zero. The lock clicks and opens. They lift the lid and see what is inside the box. It is full of books and puzzles and crayons and stickers. They are very excited and thank their mom. + +Mom says, "You are welcome, my sweeties. This is a special box that your grandma gave me when I was little. She told me to always be honest and kind and to share with others. I want you to have it and enjoy it.

He did not want to show his gift. He wished he could disappear. He looked around. He saw a big box in the corner. He had an idea. He ran to the box and jumped inside. He thought he could hide there until the party was over. + +But he did not know that the box was not empty. It was full of balloons. The balloons were for a game. Sue's dad came and picked up the box. He did not see Tom inside. He took the box outside and threw it in the air. The box opened and the balloons flew away. Tom flew away with them. He screamed and cried. He could not get down. He was scared. + +Sue and her friends saw the balloons and Tom in the sky. They were shocked. They did not know what to do. They ran to Sue's dad and told him what happened. Sue's dad called the police and the firemen. He hoped they could find Tom and bring him back. + +But they could not. Tom was too high and too far.

She looked around and saw some blocks on Ben's side that he wasn't using. She reached out to grab them, but Ben saw her and pushed her hand away. + +"Hey, those are mine!" Ben shouted. "Don't touch them!" + +"But I need them for my rocket!" Lila said. "You have too many!" + +"No, I don't! Go find your own!" Ben said. He pushed Lila's stack and made it fall down. The blocks scattered on the floor. + +Lila was very angry and sad. She felt a big tear roll down her cheek. She started to cry. "You're mean! You broke my giraffe!" + +Ben felt sorry for making Lila cry. He didn't mean to hurt her feelings. He liked playing with her, but he also liked his rocket. He didn't know what to do. + +Then he heard his mom's voice from the kitchen. "What's going on in there? Why are you crying, Lila?" + +Ben and Lila stopped fighting and looked at each other. They knew they had to tell the truth. They walked to the kitchen, holding hands, and told their mom what happened. + +Their mom listened and hugged them both. She said, "I'm glad you told me. It's not nice to fight over toys. You have to share and take turns. How about you both help me make some cookies, and then you can play with the blocks again?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They liked cookies, and they liked their mom. They felt peaceful and happy. They said they were sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to make a new stack together, a big cake with frosting and sprinkles. They smiled and went to the kitchen with their mom. +Ben and Mia were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build towers and castles and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +One day, Ben wanted to make the biggest tower ever. He took all the blocks he could find and started to stack them up. He did not share any blocks with Mia, who was making a small castle. Mia asked Ben, "Can I have some blocks, please? I need more for my castle." + +Ben said, "No, these are all mine. I need them for my tower. Go away." He was not nice to Mia. He wanted to have all the blocks for himself. + +Mia felt sad and angry. She did not like how Ben treated her. She thought, "Ben is being selfish and mean. He does not care about me or my castle. He only cares about his tower. I will show him." + +She waited until Ben was not looking. Then she ran to his tower and gave it a fierce push. The tower fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered all over the floor. Ben was shocked and upset. He shouted, "Mia, what did you do? You ruined my tower!" + +Mia said, "You ruined my castle. You took all the blocks and did not share. You were not nice to me. You deserved it." + +Ben and Mia started to cry. They both felt sorry for what they had done. They realized they had hurt each other and their own creations. They wished they had been kinder and more generous. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw the mess and the tears. She asked, "What happened here? Why are you crying?" + +Ben and Mia told her what they had done. They said they were sorry. Mom said, "I'm glad you are sorry, but sorry is not enough. You need to learn to share and respect each other. Sharing is caring. Respect is important. You are brother and sister. You should love and help each other, not fight and hurt each other." + +She helped them pick up the blocks and put them in a big box. She said, "Now, you can both play with the blocks, but you have to take turns and ask nicely. You can also work together and make something bigger and better than a tower or a castle. How about a city or a zoo or a spaceship?" + +Ben and Mia liked that idea. They said, "Yes, mom, we will do that. We will share and respect and love each other. We are sorry for being selfish and mean. We will be better." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, have fun and be careful. Don't step on the blocks. They can hurt your feet." + +Ben and Mia nodded and thanked mom. They started to play with the blocks again. They shared and respected and loved each other. They made a city and a zoo and a spaceship. They had fun and were happy. They learned their lesson. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be actors in a theater. They use a big box as a stage and a sheet as a curtain. They make hats and masks from paper and glue. + +They invite Mom and Dad to watch their show. Mom and Dad sit on the sofa and clap their hands. Lily and Ben are happy. They say their lines and make funny faces. They sing and dance and jump. + +But then Ben has a crazy idea. He sees a bowl of popcorn on the table. He grabs it and runs to the stage. He shouts, "Popcorn for everyone!" He throws the popcorn in the air. It scatters all over the box, the sheet, the hats, the masks, and the sofa. Mom and Dad are surprised. Lily is angry. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" she says. "You ruined our show!" + +Ben laughs. He thinks it is fun. He says, "It is not a show. It is a party!" + +Mom and Dad smile. They are not mad. They pick up the popcorn and join the party. They say, "You are very creative, Ben. But next time, please ask before you scatter the popcorn." +Ben and Lily were twins who loved to play with their toys. They had a big jet that could fly in the air and make loud noises. They liked to pretend they were pilots and go on adventures. + +One day, their mom said they had to leave their home and go to a new place. She said there was a big problem and they had to be safe. Ben and Lily were scared and sad. They did not want to leave their toys and their friends. + +"Can we take our jet with us?" Ben asked. + +"No, honey, we can only take a few things. The jet is too big and heavy. We have to leave it here," mom said. + +"But we love our jet! It is our favorite toy!" Lily cried. + +"I know, sweetie, but we have to go now. Maybe we can find a new jet in the new place. Come on, let's get in the car," mom said. + +Ben and Lily hugged their jet and said goodbye. They got in the car with their mom and dad and drove away. They looked out the window and saw their home getting smaller and smaller. + +They did not know that they would never see their home or their jet again. They did not know that a big fire would come and burn everything. They did not know that the new place would not be peaceful, but full of noise and danger. They did not know that they would miss their jet every day. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a red wagon. They put their toys in the wagon and pull it. + +One day, they see a big pond in the park. There are ducks and fish in the pond. Sara and Tom want to see them. They leave their wagon near a bench and run to the pond. + +"Look, Tom, a yellow duck!" Sara says. She points to a duck with a yellow beak. + +"Wow, Sara, a blue fish!" Tom says. He points to a fish with a blue tail. + +They are very happy. They forget about their wagon. + +A man sees their wagon. He thinks it is his. He takes the wagon and walks away. + +A lady sees the man. She knows the wagon is not his. She warns Sara and Tom. + +"Hey, kids, that man is taking your wagon!" she shouts. + +Sara and Tom hear the lady. They look at the man. They see their wagon. + +"Hey, that's our wagon!" they yell. They run to the man. + +The man is surprised. He stops. He sees Sara and Tom. + +"Sorry, kids, I thought this was my wagon," he says. He gives the wagon back to Sara and Tom. + +"Thank you, lady, for warning us," Sara and Tom say to the lady. + +"You're welcome, kids, but be careful next time," the lady says. "Don't leave your wagon alone. Someone might take it." + +Sara and Tom nod. They are sorry. They learn a lesson. They are independent, but they need to watch their things. They thank the lady again. They take their wagon and their toys. They go back to their mom. They tell her what happened. She hugs them. She is glad they are safe. She is proud of them. They are brave and smart. They are her twins. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a train. Ben does not have a train. Ben wants Lily's train. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing in the park. Lily brings her train. Ben sees the train and says, "Can I play with your train, Lily?" + +Lily says, "No, Ben. This is my train. You can play with something else." + +Ben is angry. He says, "You are mean, Lily. I hate you. I want your train." + +Lily says, "Go away, Ben. You are not my friend. You are bad." + +Ben is very angry. He waits for Lily to look away. Then he grabs the train and runs away. Lily sees Ben and cries. She runs after him. + +Ben runs to the road. He does not look for cars. He only looks at the train. He thinks he is lucky. He has the train. + +But he is not lucky. A big car comes fast. It hits Ben and the train. Ben and the train are broken. Lily sees Ben and the train. She screams. She is sad. She is not lucky.

Tom and Sam play with the ball and have fun. + +Lily sees Tom and Sam playing with the ball and she feels jealous. She wants to play with the ball too, but Tom does not want to share.

He won't let me play with his ball. Can we go home?" + +Mom hears Lily and comes to the park. She sees Lily, Tom and Sam. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you not playing together?" + +Lily and Tom tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "You are both wrong. You should not be jealous of each other's toys. You should share and be kind. Toys are more fun when you play with friends. Do you want to say sorry and try again?" + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom. Can we be friends again?" + +Sam says, "Yes, you can. And you can play with my ball too. It is big enough for all of us." + +Lily and Tom smile and hug. They say, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend." + +They all play with the car and the ball. They have fun and laugh. Mom is happy to see them. She says, "That's better. Now you are good friends." +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. Tom went first. He climbed up the ladder and slid down fast. He laughed and said, "That was fun!" + +Anna wanted to go too. She followed Tom up the ladder. But when she reached the top, she saw a bird on the slide. The bird was brown and had a red head. Anna liked the bird and wanted to say hello. She reached out her hand and said, "Hi, bird!" + +But the bird did not like Anna. It was scared and angry. It pecked at Anna's hand and made a loud noise. Anna was hurt and scared. She let go of the ladder and fell down. She landed on the ground and started to cry. + +Tom heard Anna cry and ran to her. He saw the bird on the slide and was angry. He picked up a stick and threw it at the bird. The bird flew away and left the slide. Tom said, "Go away, bird! You are mean!" + +Tom helped Anna get up. He saw a scratch on her hand and a bump on her head. He said, "Are you okay, Anna? I'm sorry the bird hurt you." + +Anna nodded and hugged Tom. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You rescued me. You are brave and kind." + +Tom smiled and hugged Anna back. He said, "You're welcome, Anna. You are my friend. Let's go to the nurse and get a band-aid for your hand and some ice for your head." + +They walked to the nurse together. They were both embarrassed that they cried, but they were also happy that they had each other. They decided to play something else after they felt better. They did not want to see the bird again. +Lily liked her lamp. It was pink and had stars on it. She turned it on every night before she went to sleep.

She hoped her new house would be nice. She hoped her lamp would make her feel safe and happy. +One day, Ben and his mom went to the zoo. Ben loved to see all the animals, but his favorite was the tiger. He liked the tiger's big teeth and stripes. He wanted to learn more about the tiger. + +"Mom, can we go closer to the tiger?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but we have to be quiet and careful. The tiger is sleeping now," Mom said. + +They walked to the fence and saw the tiger lying on a rock. He looked very jolly and peaceful. Ben smiled and whispered, "Hello, tiger. You are so beautiful and strong. I want to be your friend." + +The tiger opened one eye and saw Ben. He was not angry or scared. He was curious and friendly.

You were going too fast, huh? You need to be careful with your speed. Sometimes it can cause trouble." + +She took out a band-aid and a wipe. She cleaned Lily's knee and put the band-aid on it.

Tom asked nicely. He picked up a cookie from a plate and gave it to the doll. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are very sweet," the doll said in a high voice. + +"Hello, Mr. Robot. Would you like some...?" Tom stopped. He looked at the robot and made a face. The robot had a big, shiny nose that stuck out from its face. Tom thought it was very ugly. + +"Yuck! You have a ugly nose, Mr. Robot. I don't want to serve you anything. Go away!" Tom said rudely. He pushed the robot off the table and made it fall on the floor. + +"Tom! That was not nice. You hurt Mr. Robot's feelings. He is our friend. He does not care how he looks. He cares how we treat him," Lily said angrily. She picked up the robot and hugged it. + +"I'm sorry, Mr. Robot. Are you okay?" Lily asked gently. She wiped the dust off the robot's nose and smiled at it. + +"I'm okay, Lily. Thank you for being nice to me. You are a good friend," the robot said in a beep. It smiled back at Lily. + +Tom felt bad. He saw that Lily and the robot were happy, and he was not. He realized that he was wrong to judge the robot by its nose. He learned that it was more important to be kind than to be pretty. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Mr. Robot. I was mean to you. Can you forgive me?" Tom asked softly. He walked over to the table and took a cup and a cookie. + +"Of course, Tom. We forgive you. You are our brother and our friend. Come and join us. We can have fun together," Lily said warmly. She made room for Tom on the table and handed him a cup. + +"Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Mr. Robot. You are very nice. I'm glad we are friends," Tom said happily. He drank some tea and ate some cookies. + +The twins and the toys had a lovely tea party. They talked, laughed and shared. They learned that it was not how you look, but how you act, that makes you a good friend. +Tom and Mia like to play outside. They have a big yard with a swing and a slide. They also have a mailbox near the road. Sometimes they get letters from their grandma or their friends. + +One day, Tom and Mia are bored. They have nothing to do. They see the mailbox and have an idea. They run to the mailbox and open it. They take out the letters and rip them. They throw the pieces in the air and laugh. + +But they do not see their mom coming. She is driving home from the store. She sees the mailbox and the letters. She is very angry. She stops the car and gets out. She yells at Tom and Mia. + +"What are you doing? You are very bad! You ruined the letters! They are not yours! They are for us! You have to punish!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the letters and run to their mom. They say they are sorry. They hug their mom and cry. + +Their mom is still angry, but she loves them. She hugs them back and says they have to learn. She says they have to pick up the letters and put them back in the mailbox. They also have to write sorry notes to the people who sent the letters. They have to be slow and careful. + +Tom and Mia nod. They do what their mom says. They pick up the letters and put them back in the mailbox. They write sorry notes with crayons and paper. They are slow and careful. They hope the people will forgive them. They do not want to punish again. They want to be good. +Tom is a boy who has a dog. His dog is loyal and loves Tom very much. His dog's name is Spot. Spot is black and white and has a big tail. + +Yesterday, Tom and Spot went to the park. They played with a ball and ran around. Tom was happy and Spot was happy. They saw other dogs and other boys, but they did not play with them. They only played with each other. + +But then, Tom heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. The truck was coming fast and it did not see Spot. Spot was on the road and he did not see the truck. Tom was scared and he shouted, "Spot, come here!" + +Spot heard Tom and he ran to him. He was loyal and he listened to Tom. He did not care about the ball or the other dogs. He only cared about Tom. He reached Tom just in time and the truck passed by. Tom hugged Spot and Spot licked Tom. They were safe and they were happy. + +Tom learned a lesson. He learned that loyal friends are very important. He learned that he should always watch out for Spot and keep him away from danger. He learned that he should always listen to his parents and follow the rules. He learned that he should be thankful for what he has and not want more. He learned that he loves Spot and Spot loves him. They are best friends. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play hide and seek. One day, they go to the big stadium with their dad. The stadium is where people play ball and run and cheer. It is very big and loud and has many seats. + +Tom and Sam want to play hide and seek in the stadium. They ask their dad if they can. Their dad says yes, but they have to stay close and not go too far. He gives them a whistle and says to blow it if they need him. He says he will watch them from his seat. + +Tom is the seeker and Sam is the hider. Tom counts to ten and then looks for Sam. He looks under the seats, behind the trash cans, and in the bathrooms. He cannot find Sam. He thinks Sam is very good at hiding. He wonders where Sam is. + +Sam is hiding in a weird place. He saw a big door that said "Do not enter". He was curious and opened it. He saw a dark tunnel that led to the field. He thought it would be a good place to hide. He ran inside and closed the door behind him. + +Tom is getting tired of looking for Sam. He blows the whistle and calls for Sam. He hopes Sam can hear him. He does not know that Sam is in the tunnel. He does not know that the tunnel is locked. He does not know that the game is about to start. He does not know that Sam is in trouble. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But their mom says they have to be organized. She says they have to put their toys in the right boxes when they are done. + +One day, Sara and Ben want to watch television. They see a funny show with animals. They laugh and clap. They forget about their toys. They leave them on the floor and on the couch. + +Mom comes home from work. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She says to Sara and Ben: "What did you do? Look at all these toys! You have to be organized. You have to put them away. No more television until you do." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say: "We are sorry, mom. We were watching television. We forgot about our toys. We will be organized. We will put them away. Can we watch television later?" + +Mom says: "Yes, you can watch television later. But only after you do your homework and eat your dinner. And only for a little while. Now, help me clean up this mess." + +Sara and Ben nod. They help mom pick up their toys. They put them in the right boxes. They say: "We are organized. We are good kids. We love you, mom." + +Mom smiles. She says: "I love you too, Sara and Ben. You are good kids. But you have to remember to be organized. It makes life easier and happier." +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make on her paper. She was very persistent. She did not stop until her picture was done. + +One day, she found a new crayon in her box. It was white and shiny. It had a pointy tip. Lily thought it was very sharp. She wanted to try it on her paper. + +She started to draw a circle with the white crayon. But she could not see anything. The crayon did not make any color on the paper. Lily was confused. She tried to draw a star, a flower, and a heart. But nothing showed up. + +She was about to give up, when she heard a voice. It was very soft and sweet. It said, "Hello, Lily. I am your spirit crayon. I can help you make magic on your paper." + +Lily was surprised. She looked around, but she did not see anyone. She asked, "Where are you? How can you talk?" + +The voice said, "I am in your hand. I am a special crayon. I can talk to you because you have a good heart. I can make magic on your paper, but only you can see it. You have to use your imagination." + +Lily was curious. She asked, "How do I use my imagination?" + +The voice said, "You have to close your eyes and think of something you love. Then, you have to draw it with me on your paper. When you open your eyes, you will see it." + +Lily decided to try. She closed her eyes and thought of her family. She loved her mom, her dad, and her baby brother. She drew them with the white crayon on her paper. She felt the crayon move smoothly and gently. + +When she opened her eyes, she gasped. She saw her family on her paper. But they were not white. They were colorful and bright. They smiled and waved at her. Lily was amazed. She said, "Wow, you are a magic crayon. You made my family come alive on my paper." + +The voice said, "Yes, I did. But you did it too. You used your imagination and your love. That is the most powerful magic of all. You are a very persistent and creative girl, Lily. I am happy to be your spirit crayon." + +Lily smiled and hugged her paper. She said, "Thank you, spirit crayon. You are my best friend. Can we draw more things together?" + +The voice said, "Of course, Lily. We can draw anything you want. As long as you use your imagination and your love, we can make magic on your paper." + +Lily and her spirit crayon had a lot of fun. They drew many things on her paper. They made animals, flowers, stars, and rainbows. They made Lily happy. And Lily made her spirit crayon happy. They were a perfect pair. +Lily likes to have models of animals. She has a model of a lion, a model of a giraffe, and a model of a monkey. She puts them on her bed and plays with them every day. + +One day, she hears a knock on the door. She runs to open it and sees her friend Tom. Tom has a big box in his hands. He says, "Hi, Lily. I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see?" + +Lily nods and smiles. She invites Tom to come in and sit on her bed. She moves her models to make room for him. Tom opens the box and shows her what is inside. It is a model of an elephant. It is gray and has a long trunk and big ears. It is bigger than all of Lily's models. + +Lily gasps and claps her hands. She says, "Wow, Tom. It is so nice. Thank you. Where did you get it?" + +Tom says, "I got it from my grandma. She went to a far place and saw real elephants. She brought this model for me. But I know you love animals, so I want to give it to you. You can have it." + +Lily hugs Tom and says, "You are a good friend, Tom. I am very happy. Can we play with it?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, we can. Let's make a zoo with all your models. We can pretend they are alive and make noises." + +Lily and Tom have fun playing with the models. They make the elephant trumpet, the lion roar, the giraffe munch, and the monkey chatter. They are very alert and listen to each other's sounds. They laugh and enjoy their time together. +Anna and Ben are playing in the backyard. They have a big bucket of water and some cups and spoons. They pretend they are making soup and cake with the water and the grass and the dirt. + +"More water, please!" Ben says to Anna. He holds his cup under the faucet. The faucet is on the wall of the house. It gives water when you turn it. + +Anna turns the faucet. The water comes out. It is warm and nice. She fills Ben's cup and then her own. She stirs her soup with a spoon. + +"Yum, yum, this soup is good!" she says. She tastes a little bit. She makes a funny face. "But it needs more salt!" + +She looks around for something to use as salt. She sees a white box on the ground. It has a picture of a cow on it. She thinks it is salt. She picks it up and opens it. + +"Here, Ben, try some salt!" she says. She sprinkles some of the white stuff on Ben's soup. + +Ben takes a sip. He spits it out. He makes a louder funny face. "Blech, that is not salt! That is soap!" + +He looks at the box. He sees the word "soap". He can read some words. He shows it to Anna. + +"Oops, sorry, Ben!" Anna says. She feels bad. She did not mean to make Ben's soup bad. She moves the box away from the bucket. She turns the faucet again. She rinses Ben's cup and her own. She fills them with fresh water. + +"Let's make cake instead!" she says. She smiles at Ben. She hopes he is not mad. + +"OK, let's make cake!" Ben says. He smiles back. He is not mad. He likes to play with Anna. He likes to make cake. + +They use the water and the grass and the dirt to make a big cake. They decorate it with flowers and rocks. They pretend to eat it. They have fun. They are happy. +Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, Sara saw a pretty skirt in a shop window. It was pink and had flowers on it. She wanted to have it. + +"Sara, come, let's go on the swings!" Lily said. + +"No, I want the skirt. It is so pretty. I will ask Mommy to buy it for me," Sara said. + +"But Mommy is not here. She is far away. She is at work. We have to wait for her," Lily said. + +"I don't want to wait. I want the skirt now. I will go and get it. You stay here," Sara said. She ran across the street to the shop. + +Lily was scared. She did not like to be alone. She did not like the cars that went fast and made noise. She wanted Sara to come back. She called her name. + +"Sara, come back! It is not safe! You have to look both ways! Sara, come back!" + +But Sara did not hear her. She did not look both ways. She did not see the big truck that was coming. The truck hit Sara and she fell down. She did not get up. She did not get the skirt. She was gone. + +Lily cried and cried. She wished Sara had come with her to the swings. She wished Sara had not wanted the skirt so much. She wished Sara was still her best friend. But Sara was distant. She was very distant. +Sara and Ben like to play with yarn. They have many colors of yarn in a big box. They make things with the yarn, like hats and scarves and bracelets. Sometimes they pretend the yarn is a snake or a rope or a rainbow. + +One day, Sara and Ben decide to play a game with the yarn. They take out a long piece of blue yarn and stretch it across the floor. They say, "This is a river. We have to cross the river without falling in." They take turns to walk on the yarn, trying to balance and not touch the floor. Sara goes first. She is very careful and makes it to the other side. She says, "I did it! I crossed the river!" Ben claps for her. + +Then it is Ben's turn. He is not as careful as Sara. He starts to walk on the yarn, but he looks around and sees a toy car. He likes the toy car. He forgets about the yarn and the river. He reaches for the toy car and loses his balance. He falls off the yarn and onto the floor. He says, "Oh no! I fell in the river!" Sara laughs at him. + +But then they hear a noise. It is their cat, Fluffy. Fluffy likes yarn too. Fluffy sees the blue yarn on the floor and thinks it is a toy. Fluffy runs towards the yarn, ready to pounce on it. Sara and Ben see Fluffy and get alert. They say, "Fluffy, no! That is our river!" They try to stop Fluffy, but Fluffy is too fast. Fluffy jumps on the yarn and pulls it with his teeth and claws. The yarn breaks and flies everywhere. Fluffy is happy. Sara and Ben are not happy. They say, "Fluffy, you ruined our game!" + +They look at the mess of yarn on the floor. They are sad and angry. But then they have an idea. They say, "Maybe we can make a new game with the yarn. Maybe we can make a nest for Fluffy. Or a web for a spider. Or a maze for a mouse." They smile and start to pick up the yarn. They say, "Let's play with the yarn again!" Fluffy purrs and joins them. They have fun with the yarn. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It is black and has a hole on one side. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a cave or a spaceship," Ben says. + +They go inside the box. It is dark and quiet. They can't see anything. + +"Let's try to make some light," Lily says. She has an idea. She takes out her flashlight from her backpack. She turns it on and shines it around the box. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. He sees some pictures and words on the walls of the box. They are colorful and funny. + +"Maybe this is a story box," Lily says. "We can make up our own stories with these pictures and words." + +They start to tell each other stories. They use their imagination and their flashlight. They have fun and laugh a lot. They forget about the time. + +"Hey, kids, time for lunch!" Mom calls from the house. + +Lily and Ben hear her voice. They turn off the flashlight and crawl out of the box. + +"Can we play with the box again later?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, why not?" Mom says. "But first, wash your hands and come to the kitchen." + +Lily and Ben smile. They run to the house. They are hungry and happy. They love their story box. +Mira and Ben are friends who like to play outside. They gather sticks and leaves and make a fort in the yard. They pretend they are explorers and have adventures. + +One day, they hear a soft meow from the bushes. They go to see what it is and find a small cat. The cat is scared and hurt. It has a scratch on its ear and a limp paw. + +"Look, Mira, a cat!" Ben says. "It needs help. Can we take it home?" + +Mira nods. She is compassionate and loves animals. She gently picks up the cat and wraps it in her scarf. The cat purrs and snuggles in her arms. + +They run to Mira's house and show the cat to her mom. Her mom is kind and says they can keep the cat until it gets better. She cleans the scratch and bandages the paw. She gives the cat some milk and a cozy bed. + +"Thank you, mom," Mira says. "Can we name the cat?" + +"Sure, honey. What do you want to call it?" her mom asks. + +Mira and Ben look at each other and smile. They have the same idea. + +"Quiet," they say together. "Because it is quiet and we found it in the quiet bushes." + +Her mom laughs and hugs them. "Quiet is a perfect name. You are very good friends to Quiet. I'm proud of you." + +Mira and Ben are happy. They cuddle with Quiet and tell it stories. They have a new friend and a new adventure. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a black hat on a bench. Lily wants the hat. She says to Tom, "Look, a black hat! I want it. It is pretty." + +Tom says, "No, Lily. That is not your hat. Someone else left it here. Maybe they will come back for it. We should not take it." + +Lily does not listen to Tom. She says, "I don't care. I like the hat. I will take it." She runs to the bench and puts the hat on her head. She says, "Ha ha, I have the hat. It is mine now." + +Tom is sad. He says, "Lily, that is not nice. You are not a good friend. You are selfish. You should give the hat back." + +Lily does not care. She says, "No, I will not. I like the hat. It is mine. Go away, Tom. I don't want to play with you." + +Tom goes away. He is very sad. He looks for another friend to play with. + +Lily is alone. She has the hat, but she has no friends. She feels lonely. She sees a lady walking to the bench. The lady looks worried. She says, "Oh, where is my hat? I left it here. It is very important to me. It was a gift from my grandma. She is very sick. I love her very much." + +Lily hears the lady. She feels sorry. She realizes she made a mistake. She says to the lady, "Excuse me, miss. Is this your hat?" She takes the hat off her head and gives it to the lady. + +The lady is happy. She says, "Yes, this is my hat. Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. You made my day. How can I thank you?" + +Lily says, "You're welcome, miss. I'm sorry I took your hat. I was wrong. I learned a lesson. I should not take things that are not mine. I should be a good friend. I should share and care." + +The lady says, "That is a very good lesson, little girl. I'm proud of you. You are a smart and good girl. I hope you have a nice day. And I hope you find your friend. He is a good friend too. He tried to stop you from taking my hat. He was right. You should listen to him." + +Lily says, "Thank you, miss. I will. I hope your grandma gets better. I hope you have a nice day too." She smiles and waves to the lady. + +Lily runs to find Tom. She says, "Tom, Tom, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I gave the hat back to the lady. It was her hat. It was very important to her. She was very nice to me. She taught me a lesson. I should not take things that are not mine. I should be a good friend. I should share and care. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends again?" + +Tom is happy. He says, "Lily, I'm glad you gave the hat back. I'm glad you learned a lesson. I'm glad you are sorry. I forgive you. You are my friend. I like you. Let's play together." + +Lily and Tom hug. They are happy. They are friends. They play in the park. They share and care. They have fun. They learn to talk and listen. They learn to be good. The end. +Tom is a big dog. He likes to run and play with his friends. He likes to chase balls and sticks. He likes to bark and wag his tail. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his owner. He sees many other dogs and people. He runs and plays with them. He has a lot of fun. + +But after a while, Tom feels tired. He wants to rest. He looks for a shady spot under a tree. He finds a nice place to sit. He sees a bone on the ground. He thinks it is a good snack. He picks it up with his mouth. + +But then he hears a growl. He looks up and sees another dog. The other dog is angry. He wants the bone. He says, "That is my bone! Give it back!" + +Tom does not want to fight. He is too tired. He does not care about the bone. He drops it and says, "OK, you can have it. I just want to sit and rest." + +The other dog is happy. He takes the bone and runs away. Tom sighs and lies down. He closes his eyes and falls asleep. He dreams of more fun and games. +Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going on a safari with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see lions and zebras and giraffes. They packed their bags and got in the car. + +"Are you ready for an adventure?" Dad asked. + +"Yes!" Anna and Ben shouted. + +They drove for a long time. They saw many trees and hills and flowers. They sang songs and played games. They were having fun. + +They arrived at the safari park. They got out of the car and followed a guide. He showed them a big map. He pointed to different places where they could see animals. + +"First, we will go to the lion zone. You have to be very quiet and sit in the car. The lions are wild and can be dangerous. But they are also very beautiful and strong. Do you want to see them?" he asked. + +"Yes!" Anna and Ben said. + +They got back in the car and drove to the lion zone. They saw a big sign that said "Lions ahead. Stay in your car. Do not feed the animals." They looked out of the windows and saw some lions lying on the grass. They were sleeping and snoring. They had yellow fur and big teeth and claws. + +"Wow, look at them!" Anna said. + +"They are so big and scary!" Ben said. + +"They are also very fair," Mom said. "They share their food and take care of their cubs. They are the kings and queens of the safari." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They liked the lions. They took some pictures and smiled. They were having a great time. + +They did not see the lion that was hiding behind a bush. It was watching them. It was hungry and curious. It waited for the right moment. It jumped out and ran towards the car. It roared and bared its teeth. + +"Look out!" Dad shouted. + +He started the car and drove away. The lion chased them for a while, but then gave up. It went back to the bush and licked its paws. + +"That was close!" Dad said. + +"Are you okay?" Mom asked. + +Anna and Ben were scared, but also excited. They had seen a lion up close. They had had a real adventure. + +"That was awesome!" Anna said. + +"That was cool!" Ben said. + +They hugged each other and laughed. They were very happy. They still had more animals to see. They wondered what would happen next. They loved the safari. +Lily and Sam were very excited. They were going to see the parade with their mom and dad. The parade had many big trucks, cars, bikes, and animals. They also had flags, balloons, and music. + +"Look, Sam, there is a sail!" Lily pointed to a truck that had a big sail on top. It was blue and white, like the sky and the clouds. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is, Lily. Do you know what a sail is for?" Sam asked. He was older than Lily and liked to teach her things. + +"A sail is for a boat. A boat can sail on the water with the wind," Lily said. She remembered seeing a boat with a sail at the lake last summer. + +"That's right, Lily. You are very smart," Sam said. He gave her a hug. + +They watched the parade for a long time. They saw clowns, dancers, firemen, and policemen. They waved and cheered. They had a lot of fun. + +But soon they started to feel tired. Their legs were sore from standing. Their eyes were sleepy from the sun. Their ears were noisy from the sound. + +"Mom, dad, can we go home now?" Lily asked. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. + +"Sure, sweetie. We have seen enough of the parade. Let's go home and rest," mom said. She picked up Lily and carried her. + +"Dad, can you carry me too?" Sam asked. He was also tired, but he did not want to admit it. + +"Of course, buddy. You are a big boy, but you can still be tired. Come on, let's go," dad said. He lifted Sam and put him on his shoulders. + +They walked back to their car. They said goodbye to the parade. They were happy and tired. They fell asleep on the way home. They dreamed of sailing on a boat with a big sail. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They liked different seasons. Lily liked summer, when the sun was hot and the flowers were bright. Tom liked winter, when the snow was cold and the trees were bare. + +One day, they decided to make a snowman together. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They went to the backyard, where the snow was thick and white. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, a scarf, a hat and some buttons to decorate their snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is done!" Lily said. "He is so big and round and happy!" + +"Yes, he is!" Tom agreed. "But he is also lonely. He needs a friend." + +"A friend?" Lily asked. "Who can be his friend?" + +Tom looked around and saw an empty birdhouse hanging from a branch. He had an idea. He ran to the birdhouse and took it down. He brought it to the snowman and put it on his head. + +"There, now he has a friend!" Tom said. "A birdhouse friend!" + +Lily laughed. She thought it was funny and clever. She hugged Tom and said, "You are a good brother. You have good ideas." + +Tom smiled. He hugged Lily back and said, "You are a good sister. You have good words." + +They held hands and looked at their snowman and his birdhouse friend. They felt happy and warm, even though it was winter. They liked different seasons, but they liked each other more. +Anna loves her dog Max. Max is a big dog with brown fur and a wet nose. He likes to play with Anna and make her laugh. Sometimes, he gives her licks and cuddles. + +One day, Anna and Max go to the park with Mom. They see many other dogs and people there. Some dogs are small and some are big. Some are loud and some are quiet. Anna wants to pet them all, but Mom says she has to ask first. + +Anna sees a white dog with black spots. He looks friendly and happy. She asks Mom if she can pet him. Mom says yes, but she has to be careful and gentle. Anna walks up to the dog and says hello. The dog wags his tail and sniffs her hand. Anna pets his head and ears. He is soft and warm. + +The dog's owner is a nice lady. She smiles at Anna and says her dog's name is Spot. She says Spot is a kind dog and likes children. She asks Anna if she wants to seat on a bench with her and Spot. Anna says yes, please. She seats next to the lady and puts Max on her lap. Spot seats on the other side of the lady. They all look at the park and enjoy the sun. + +Anna is happy. She has made a new friend. She thinks Spot is a kind dog, just like Max. She gives them both a hug and says thank you. The lady says you're welcome and says goodbye. Anna and Max wave at them and go back to Mom. They have had a fun day at the park. +Once upon a time, there was a little bird. The bird was very graceful and flew through the sky with ease. One day, the bird flew down to the ground and landed on a step. Suddenly, a big dog came running and tried to destroy the step. The little bird was scared, but it quickly flew away before the step was destroyed. The little bird continued to fly through the sky, enjoying the beauty of the world. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. He loved to play with his friends at the park. One day, they decided to play a game of tag. Timmy was very competitive and wanted to win. + +As they ran around the park, Timmy's friend Sarah started to get tired. "I can't run anymore," she said. "I need to relax." + +Timmy didn't want to stop playing, but he remembered what his mom had told him about being a good friend. "Okay, let's all sit in a circle and take a break," he said. + +They sat down and Timmy noticed that Sarah looked sad. "What's wrong?" he asked. + +"I'm not as fast as you guys," Sarah said. "I'll never win." + +Timmy smiled. "It's not about winning, it's about having fun with our friends," he said. "Let's keep playing and have a good time together!" + +From that day on, Timmy and his friends played tag and other games, but they always took breaks to relax and enjoy each other's company in a circle. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a furry cat named Fluffy. Lily loved to play with Fluffy all day long. + +One day, Lily's mom gave her some sugar to bake cookies. Lily wanted to help, but she didn't know how to bake cookies. So, she asked Fluffy if he knew how to bake cookies. Fluffy meowed and Lily took it as a "no". + +Lily decided to study how to bake cookies. She asked her mom for help and they baked cookies together.
