He takes many candies and puts them in his pocket. He laughs and runs away. + +Tom and Mia are angry. They think the rude boy is bad. They tell their moms what he did. Their moms are angry too. They say the rude boy is not nice. He should share and be polite. + +Tom and Mia agree. They say sharing and being polite are good. They eat their candy and enjoy it. They say the candy is sweet and yummy. They are happy. They hug their moms and say they love them. They pray and sing at the temple. They are good friends. +Lily and Mom go to the store. Mom wants to buy coffee. Lily likes to look at the toys. Mom says, "Lily, stay with me. Do not run away." + +But Lily sees a large teddy bear. She wants to hug it. She runs to the toy aisle. She picks up the teddy bear. She says, "Hello, teddy. You are so soft and fluffy." + +Mom looks for Lily. She does not see her. She feels worried. She asks a lady, "Have you seen my little girl? She has brown hair and a pink dress." + +The lady says, "Yes, I saw her. She went to the toy aisle. She had a large teddy bear in her arms." + +Mom says, "Thank you." She runs to the toy aisle. She sees Lily and the teddy bear. She says, "Lily, there you are. I was looking for you. You scared me." + +Lily says, "Sorry, Mom. I like this teddy bear. Can I have it, please?" + +Mom says, "No, Lily. We are not here to buy toys. We are here to buy coffee. Put the teddy bear back. Maybe we can come back another day." + +Lily says, "OK, Mom. Bye, teddy. I hope to see you again." She puts the teddy bear back. She holds Mom's hand. They go to the coffee aisle. Mom buys coffee. They go to the car. Mom says, "I love you, Lily. You are a good girl." + +Lily says, "I love you, Mom. You are a good mom." They hug and smile. They go home. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars, big and small, red and blue, fast and slow. They make races with their cars on the floor. + +One day, they find a new car in the toy box. It is very ugly. It is brown and green, with a big dent and a broken wheel. It has a sticker that says "fuel". Tim and Jen do not know what fuel means. + +"Let's race with this car," Tim says. "It looks funny." + +"OK," Jen says. "But I do not want to use it. You use it. I will use my blue car. It is very fast." + +They set up their cars on the floor. They count to three and push their cars. Jen's blue car zooms ahead. Tim's ugly car moves slowly. It makes a loud noise and smoke comes out of it. + +"Ha ha, I win!" Jen says. "Your car is bad. It is slow and noisy and smoky." + +Tim feels sad. He does not like to lose. He does not like his ugly car. He wants to throw it away. + +But then, something bad happens. The ugly car catches fire. The fire spreads to the other cars. The other cars burn and melt. The fire reaches the toy box. The toy box burns and melts. The fire reaches the curtains. The curtains burn and melt. + +Tim and Jen scream. They run out of the room. They call for help. But it is too late. The fire destroys their room and their toys. They have nothing left to play with. + +They wish they never found the ugly car. They wish they never raced with it. They wish they knew what fuel means. +One day, a little boy named Ben went to the zoo with his mom and dad. He liked to see all the different animals, but his favorite was the ostrich. The ostrich was very big and had long legs and a long neck. Ben wanted to touch the ostrich, but his mom and dad said no. They said the ostrich might bite or kick him. + +Ben was very curious and did not listen. When his mom and dad were looking at the monkeys, he ran away and went to the ostrich cage. He climbed over the fence and reached out his hand to pet the ostrich. But the ostrich did not like that. It opened its big mouth and revealed its sharp teeth. It snapped at Ben and made a loud noise. Ben was scared and cried. He ran back to the fence, but he could not climb over. He was stuck with the angry ostrich. + +His mom and dad heard his cry and came to help him. They saw him in the ostrich cage and were very worried. They called the zookeeper, who came with a stick and a net. He chased away the ostrich and rescued Ben. He brought him back to his mom and dad, who hugged him and checked if he was hurt. They were glad he was not bitten, but they were also very angry. They scolded him for being naughty and disobeying them. They said he could have been seriously hurt or even killed by the ostrich. They said he should never do that again. + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had made a big mistake. He apologized to his mom and dad and to the zookeeper. He said he learned his lesson and he would never touch the ostrich or any other animal without permission. He said he would always listen to his mom and dad and follow the rules. His mom and dad forgave him and gave him a kiss. They said they loved him and they were proud of him for being honest and brave. They said he should always respect the animals and their space. They said the animals had feelings and rights too. + +Ben nodded and smiled. He understood and agreed. He thanked his mom and dad and the zookeeper. He said he still liked the ostrich, but he would only watch it from a safe distance. He said he wanted to learn more about the ostrich and other animals. He said he wanted to be a good friend to them. His mom and dad and the zookeeper smiled and praised him. They said he was a smart and kind boy. They said he had a big heart and a big future. They said they were happy to have him. They all walked away from the ostrich cage, holding hands and feeling good. The end. +Tom and Sam were young brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big storm coming. The sky was dark and the wind was loud. They ran to their house and told their mom. + +"Mom, there is a storm! Can we play inside?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, you can. But first, you have to put away your toys. They will get wet and rot if you leave them outside," Mom said. + +Tom and Sam nodded and went to the yard. They saw their bikes, balls, and dolls. They started to pick them up and bring them to the garage. But then, Sam saw a big puddle. He wanted to jump in it and splash. + +"Come on, Tom. Let's have some fun. The storm is not here yet," Sam said. + +"No, Sam. Mom said we have to put away our toys. They will rot if we don't. And the storm is coming fast. We have to hurry," Tom said. + +Sam did not listen. He ran to the puddle and jumped in it. He laughed and splashed. Tom shook his head and kept putting away the toys. He finished and ran to the house. He told Mom what Sam did. + +"Sam, come inside now. You are wet and dirty. And you left your toys outside. They will rot in the storm. You were not a good boy," Mom said. + +Sam came inside. He was wet and dirty. He saw his toys outside. They were wet and dirty too. He felt sad and sorry. He wished he had listened to Tom and Mom. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I was not a good boy. I left my toys outside. They will rot in the storm. Can I fix them?" Sam asked. + +Mom hugged Sam. She was not angry. She was glad he was safe. + +"Sam, I'm glad you are sorry. You were not a good boy. But you can learn from your mistake. You can try to fix your toys. But some of them may be too rotten. Next time, you have to listen and do what I say. And you have to be a good brother to Tom. He was a good boy. He put away his toys and helped me. He was smart and careful. He deserves a reward," Mom said. + +Mom gave Tom a cookie and a hug. She gave Sam a towel and a hug. She told them to go to their room and change their clothes. She told them to love each other and be good boys. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your mom and do what she says. Put away your toys and take care of them. Be a good brother and help each other. Be smart and careful in a storm. +Lily was anxious. She did not like to sleep in the dark. She was afraid of nightmares. She always had a lamp by her bed and a teddy bear to hug. + +One night, her lamp stopped working. She tried to turn it on, but nothing happened. She called for her mom, but her mom did not hear her. She was too scared to get out of bed and go to her mom's room. + +She closed her eyes and tried to think of happy things. But she could not. She saw scary things in her mind. She saw big monsters and loud noises and mean people. She felt like she was falling and could not stop. She had a nightmare. + +She woke up with a scream. She was sweating and shaking. She wanted her mom. She grabbed her teddy bear and got out of bed. She ran to the door, but she did not see the rug on the floor. She slipped and fell. She hurt her knee and her elbow. She cried louder. + +Her mom heard her and came to her room. She saw Lily on the floor and ran to her. She picked her up and hugged her. She asked her what happened. Lily told her about the lamp and the nightmare and the slip. She sobbed and snuggled with her mom. + +Her mom kissed her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not know your lamp was broken. I will fix it tomorrow. And I will stay with you tonight. You are safe with me. There are no monsters or noises or mean people. Only me and you and teddy. You can sleep now. I love you." + +Lily felt better. She smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for coming. Can we read a story?" Her mom nodded and said, "Of course. What story do you want?" Lily said, "The one with the princess and the dragon." Her mom said, "That's a good one. Let's go to your bed and read it." They went to Lily's bed and read the story. Lily felt sleepy and happy. She hugged her teddy and her mom and fell asleep. She did not have any more nightmares. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together at school. Today, they have art class.

"Give it back!" + +"No, it is my folder!" Ben says. "I took it first!" + +They both pull the folder. The folder rips. The papers fall on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Anna and Ben say. They feel sad and sorry. + +The teacher sees what happened. She comes to the table. She helps them pick up the papers. + +"Anna and Ben, what did you do?" she asks. "Why did you fight over the folder?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel ashamed. + +"We both wanted to draw our clothes," Anna says. + +"We did not know we had the same folder," Ben says. + +The teacher nods. She smiles. + +"I see. Well, you both have nice clothes. But you know what is more important than clothes? Being kind and sharing with your friends. Can you do that?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug. + +"Can we still draw our clothes?" Anna asks. + +"Of course you can," the teacher says. "But this time, use different folders. And maybe you can also draw something nice for each other. What do you think?" + +Anna and Ben think. They like the idea. + +"OK," they say. "Let's do that." + +They take different folders. They draw their clothes. They also draw flowers and stars and hearts for each other. They show their pictures to the teacher. The teacher claps. + +"Very good, Anna and Ben. You made beautiful pictures.

Sam says. He grabs the truck and pulls it away from Tim. + +"No, it is mine!" Tim says. He pulls the truck back. They both pull and pull. The truck is very strong. But Tim and Sam are weak. They cannot pull it for long. + +"Let go!" Sam says. He tries to push Tim away. + +"Give it to me!" Tim says. He tries to kick Sam's leg. + +They are very loud and angry. They do not hear their mom coming to their room. She opens the door and sees them fighting. + +"Boys, what are you doing?" she says. She is not happy. She takes the truck from them and puts it on the table. + +"You are both being very bad. You need to learn to share and yield. You cannot have everything you want. There are other cars and trucks you can play with. And there are other places you can play in. Why don't you go outside and play in the yard? It is a nice day. Maybe you will find some new friends there." + +She leads them to the door and gives them their coats and hats. She tells them to be nice and have fun. She hopes they will listen to her and stop fighting. + +Tim and Sam go outside. They are still mad at each other. But they see other kids playing in the yard. They see swings and slides and balls. They see a big yellow truck in the sandbox. They look at each other and smile. Maybe they can share and yield after all. Maybe they can have fun. They run to the sandbox and join the other kids. They forget about the big red truck in their room. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big pile of junk near the park. It has old boxes, cans, bottles, and clothes. Tom and Jen are curious.

They have fun. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. But then they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like a big crack. + +"What was that?" Ben asked, looking scared. + +"Let's go see," Mia said, grabbing his hand. + +They ran to the kitchen and saw their mom holding a broken plate. She looked sad and angry. + +"Oh no, I dropped the plate and it cracked," she said. "Now I have to clean up this mess." + +"Can we help you, mom?" Ben asked. + +"No, thank you, sweeties. You go back to your room and play. But be careful, okay? Don't break anything else," she said. + +Ben and Mia nodded and went back to their room. They decided to play something else. They saw their teddy bears on the bed. They liked to hug them and talk to them. + +"Let's have a tea party with our teddies," Mia said. + +"Okay, that sounds fun," Ben said. + +They got their toy cups and plates and set them on a small table. They put their teddies on the chairs and pretended to pour them tea. + +"Hello, Mr. Bear. How are you today?" Mia asked. + +"I'm very well, thank you, Miss Mia. How are you?" Ben answered in a deep voice. + +"I'm fine, thank you. Would you like some tea?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, please. That would be lovely," Ben said. + +They giggled and sipped their tea. They made their teddies bow and say thank you and please. They had a lot of fun. + +But soon they started to feel sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They put their teddies on the bed and cuddled with them. + +"Good night, Mr. Bear," Mia said. + +"Good night, Miss Mia," Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of tea parties and toy cars and happy days. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the yard. They have a ball, a bike and a swing. They also have a dog named Max. Max is big and furry. He likes to run and bark. + +One day, their dad is cooking on the grill. He has meat and corn and bread. He tells Tom and Sam to stay away from the grill.

Did Max hurt you?" + +Tom and Sam shake their heads. They say, "No, dad. We are fine. But Max is naughty. He almost burned himself." They hug their dad. They say, "Thank you, dad. You saved us and Max." + +Dad smiles. He says, "You're welcome, boys. You were brave and smart. You tried to stop Max. But next time, be careful. The grill is dangerous. And Max is not a good listener." He says, "Come on, let's eat. The food is ready. And Max, you get a bone. But only if you behave." He says, "I love you, boys. And I love you, Max. Even if you are a silly dog." +Lily and Ben liked to race each other. They ran fast on the grass, on the sand, and on the rocks. They laughed and shouted as they raced. + +One day, they saw a fisherman by the lake. He had a long stick with a string and a hook. He threw the hook into the water and waited. + +"Can we race him?" Lily asked Ben. + +"Race him? How?" Ben said. + +"We can run to the other side of the lake and back. He has to catch a fish before we do. If he does, he wins. If he doesn't, we win," Lily said. + +Ben thought it was a good idea. He nodded and said, "Let's go!" + +They ran to the other side of the lake and back. They were very fast. The fisherman saw them and smiled. He did not catch a fish yet. + +They ran again. And again. And again. They were very tired. The fisherman was still there. He did not catch a fish yet. + +He was very persistent. He did not give up. + +"Wow, he is very good," Lily said. + +"Yes, he is," Ben said. + +They decided to stop racing. They walked to the fisherman and said hello. + +"Hello, kids. You are very fast," the fisherman said. + +"Thank you. You are very persistent," Lily said. + +"Thank you. I like fishing. It is fun and relaxing," the fisherman said. + +"Can we watch you fish?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can.

One day, they see a new toy on the shelf. It is a big truck with wheels and lights. Sam and Ben both want the truck. + +"Me first!" Sam says. He runs to the shelf and grabs the truck. + +"No, me first!" Ben says. He runs after Sam and tries to grab the truck too. + +They pull and tug on the truck. They yell and cry. The truck makes loud noises. + +"Stop it, stop it!" Mom says. She comes into the room and sees the kids fighting. She is not happy. + +"Give me the truck!" She says. She takes the truck from the kids and puts it back on the shelf. + +"You two need to learn to share and take turns. No more truck for today. Here, play with this instead." She gives them a dull ball. It is soft and gray and does not make any noises. + +Sam and Ben look at the ball. They do not like the ball. They look at each other. They are still angry, but they are also bored. + +"Sorry, Sam," Ben says. + +"Sorry, Ben," Sam says. + +They hug and make up. They decide to play with the ball together. Maybe it is not so dull after all. +Anna is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She can put on her shoes, brush her teeth, and eat her breakfast.

Well, I hope she comes soon. Do you want to talk to me for a while? I miss you." + +Anna says, "No, thank you. I don't want to talk. I want to play. Bye bye, Mommy." She hangs up the phone. + +Mommy is sad. She wants to hear Anna's voice. She wants to tell her more things. She does not understand why Anna does not want to talk to her. + +Anna is happy. She thinks she is very independent. She does not need to talk to Mommy. She can do everything by herself. She does not know that Mommy is sad. She does not know that she is being rude.

They want to play with it. + +"Let's carry the loop to the slide," Lila says. "We can make a swing." + +"OK," Tom says. They both grab the loop and start to carry it. But the loop is heavy and wet. It rained last night. + +"Ugh, the loop is wet," Tom says. "It makes my hands wet too." + +"Me too," Lila says. "But it will be fun to swing." + +They reach the slide and try to put the loop over the top. But the loop is too big and the slide is too high. They can't reach. + +"Help, help," Lila says.

They sit on the loop and start to swing. They laugh and shout. They are happy. The loop is wet, but they don't mind. They have a new toy. +Lily and Tom were playing near the creek. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash. They also liked to look for frogs and fish. Sometimes they saw a big turtle with a hard shell. + +One day, they saw something shiny in the water. It looked like a coin. Lily wanted to get it. She reached out her hand and touched the water.

"It has a shell like the turtle, but smaller." + +Tom came closer and looked at the snail. He was curious. He wondered what it tasted like. He opened his mouth and put the snail inside. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Lily asked. "You can't eat the snail. It's not food. It's a friend." + +Tom spat out the snail. It was yucky and salty. He made a face and said, "Blech! The snail tastes bad. I don't like it." + +Lily laughed and said, "You are silly, Tom. You don't eat snails. You play with them. Here, let me show you. You can make them slide on a leaf or a rock. They are fun." + +Tom wiped his mouth and said, "OK, Lily. Let's play with the snails. But next time, I won't taste them. I will only look at them." +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They see a furry cat with a long tail. The cat has a string in its mouth. Lily and Tom want to see where the cat is going. + +"Let's follow the cat!" Lily says. "Maybe it has a toy or a friend." + +"Okay!" Tom says. "But be quiet. We don't want to scare the cat." + +They follow the cat across the grass, behind the bushes, and under the fence. The cat does not see them. It runs and jumps and plays with the string. It looks happy and funny. + +Lily and Tom giggle and whisper. They like the cat. They want to pet it and play with it. + +"Hello, cat!" Lily says softly. "Can we be your friends?" + +The cat hears Lily and turns around. It sees Lily and Tom. It drops the string and hisses. It does not like strangers. It is scared and angry. + +"Meow!" The cat says. "Go away! This is my string!" + +Lily and Tom are surprised and sad. They did not mean to upset the cat. They back away slowly. + +"Sorry, cat!" Tom says. "We just wanted to say hi. We think you are cute and furry." + +The cat watches them leave. It picks up the string and runs away. It does not want to share. It wants to be alone. + +Lily and Tom go back to the garden. They find another toy to play with. They hope the cat will be nicer next time. They still like the cat. +Sam and Lily were having lunch with Mom. They had pasta with sauce and cheese.

He aimed at Lily's face. + +Lily saw what Sam was doing. She was quick. She grabbed her napkin and covered her face. She said "No!" and pushed Sam's fork away. + +But Sam's fork was too full of sauce. The sauce flew off the fork. It landed on Mom's face. Mom was surprised. She said "Oh!" and wiped her face with her hand. + +Sam and Lily looked at Mom. They saw her face was red and wet and messy. They saw her eyes were bright and angry. They knew they were in trouble. They said "Sorry, Mom!" and ran away. +Anna was a good girl who liked to play with her toys and help her mom. One day, she found a big envelope in the mail. It was an invitation to Ben's birthday party. Ben was her friend from school and he was very nice. Anna was happy and showed the invitation to her mom. + +"Mom, look! Ben invited me to his party! Can I go, please?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, dear. Ben's party is on Saturday. We can buy him a present and a card. What do you think he would like?" Mom said. + +Anna thought for a moment. She knew Ben liked cars and trucks and planes. She decided to buy him a toy car that made noises and lights. She also made him a card with stickers and crayons. She wrote "Happy birthday, Ben! You are a good friend. Love, Anna." + +On Saturday, Anna and Mom went to Ben's house. There were many other kids there, and they all had presents and cards for Ben.

They shared their toys and took turns. They also ate cake and ice cream and sang happy birthday. Anna had a lot of fun at Ben's party. + +But not all the kids were nice. Timmy was a bad boy who liked to tease and bully others. He did not bring a present or a card for Ben. He only came to eat and play. He saw Ben's car and wanted it for himself. He waited until Ben and Anna were not looking and took the car. He ran away and hid behind a tree. + +Ben and Anna noticed that the car was gone. They looked everywhere, but they could not find it. They were sad and worried. They asked the other kids if they saw the car, but no one knew. They wondered who took it and why. + +Timmy was happy with the car. He thought it was very cool and he did not care about Ben or Anna. He played with the car and made noises and lights. He did not share or take turns. He was selfish and mean. + +But he did not know that Mom saw him. She saw him take the car and hide behind the tree. She was angry and disappointed. She went to Timmy and took the car from him. She scolded him and told him to apologize to Ben and Anna. She also told him to leave the party and go home. + +"Timmy, you are a bad boy. You took Ben's car without asking. That is not nice. That is stealing. You hurt Ben and Anna's feelings. You should be sorry. Say sorry to them and give them back the car. Then go home. You are not welcome here." Mom said. + +Timmy was scared and ashamed. He knew he did wrong. He gave back the car and said sorry to Ben and Anna. He did not look at them in the eyes. He ran to his mom and left the party. He cried and wished he was a good boy. + +Ben and Anna were happy to get the car back. They thanked Mom and hugged her. They forgave Timmy and hoped he would learn his lesson. They continued to play and enjoy the party. They were good friends who shared and cared. + +The moral of the story is: Be nice and honest. Do not take what is not yours. Share and care for your friends. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a big motorcycle in the street. It is red and shiny. It has a wide seat and a loud horn. + +"Wow, look at that motorcycle!" Tim says. "I want to ride it!" + +"Me too!" Sam says. "But it is not ours. It belongs to someone else." + +Tim does not care. He is naughty. He runs to the motorcycle and tries to get on it. He wants to steal it. + +"Stop, Tim!" Sam says. "That is wrong! You cannot take what is not yours!" + +But Tim does not listen. He pushes a button and the motorcycle starts. It makes a lot of noise. Tim is scared. He does not know how to drive it. He falls off the motorcycle and hurts his knee. + +Sam runs to help him. He is a good friend. He says, "Are you okay, Tim?" + +Tim cries. He says, "I am sorry, Sam. I was silly. I should not have tried to steal the motorcycle. It was too big and fast for me." + +Sam hugs him. He says, "It is okay, Tim. I forgive you. But you have to say sorry to the owner of the motorcycle too. And you have to be more careful next time." + +Tim nods. He says, "You are right, Sam. Thank you for being my friend." + +They walk back to their toys. They play with them nicely. They do not want to steal anything again. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big cage with a sign that said "Do not touch". Inside the cage was a big, smelly animal with black and white stripes. It looked like a cat, but much bigger and angrier. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "What is it?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it's a jungle cat. It looks scary." + +"I want to see it closer," Tom said. He walked towards the cage and reached for the lock. + +"Tom, no!" Lily shouted. "The sign says do not touch! It might bite you!" + +But Tom did not listen. He opened the lock and pulled the door. The jungle cat saw the opening and jumped out of the cage. It roared and ran towards Tom and Lily. + +"Help!" Tom and Lily screamed. They tried to run away, but the jungle cat was faster. It caught Tom with its sharp teeth and claws. Lily saw blood and tears on Tom's clothes and skin. She was very scared and sad. + +The jungle cat dragged Tom away and left Lily alone. Lily cried and cried. She wished she had never seen the cage. She wished Tom had listened to her. She wished someone would help them. But no one came. The jungle cat had released itself and taken Tom to the jungle. Lily never saw Tom again. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. One day, they find a big book with many pictures and words. They want to write like the book. + +Tom says, "I can write fast. Look at me!" He takes a red crayon and makes a zigzag on the paper. He says, "This is a Z. Z is for zebra." + +Lily says, "I can write fast too. Look at me!" She takes a blue crayon and makes a circle on the paper. She says, "This is an O. O is for orange." + +They keep writing fast, but they do not look at what they write. They make many zigzags and circles and lines and dots. Soon, the paper is full of messy marks. They cannot see any words or pictures. + +They look at the book again. They see that the book has neat and clear words and pictures. They see that the book tells a story. They feel sad. They say, "We cannot write like the book. We only make a mess." + +A teacher comes and sees them. She says, "What are you doing, Tom and Lily?" + +They say, "We want to write like the book, but we cannot. We only write fast and make a mess." + +The teacher says, "Writing is not only fast. Writing is also slow and careful. Writing is also fun and creative. Writing is also a way to share your ideas and feelings. If you want to write like the book, you need to practice and learn. You need to look at the letters and the words and the pictures. You need to think about what you want to say and how to say it. You need to enjoy writing and reading." + +Tom and Lily listen to the teacher. They say, "We want to practice and learn. We want to write and read. We want to enjoy writing and reading." + +The teacher says, "That is good. I will help you. Here are some new papers and crayons. Let us write and read together." + +Tom and Lily smile. They take the new papers and crayons. They write and read with the teacher. They write slow and careful. They write fun and creative. They write to share their ideas and feelings. They write like the book. + +The moral of the story is: Writing is not only fast, but also slow and careful, fun and creative, and a way to share your ideas and feelings. If you want to write well, you need to practice and learn, and enjoy writing and reading. +Sam and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big hose that can spray water. They like to spray the flowers and the grass and make them wet. + +"Look, Mia, I can spray the blue sky!" Sam says. He points the hose up and sprays water high in the air. + +"Wow, Sam, that's so cool!" Mia says. She claps her hands and laughs. + +But then, something bad happens. A bird flies by and gets hit by the water. The bird falls down and lands on the ground. It is wet and cold and helpless. + +"Oh no, Sam, you sprayed the bird!" Mia says. She runs to the bird and picks it up. She tries to dry it with her shirt. + +"I'm sorry, bird, I didn't mean to spray you!" Sam says. He feels bad and sad. He runs to Mia and the bird. He strokes the bird's feathers and says sorry. + +The bird is scared and hurt. It can't fly or sing. It looks at Sam and Mia with its small eyes. + +"Sam, Mia, we have to help the bird!" Mia says. "We have to take it to Mom. She knows how to help animals." + +"OK, Mia, let's go!" Sam says. He turns off the hose and puts it away. He follows Mia and the bird to the house. + +They hope Mom can make the bird better. They hope the bird can fly and sing again. They learned not to spray the sky. +Lisa loved roses. She liked to smell them, touch them, and look at their pretty colors. She had a rose garden in her backyard, where she planted many roses with her mom. She was very proud of her roses and wanted to share them with her friends. + +One day, she invited her friends to come over and play. She showed them her rose garden and gave each of them a rose to take home. Her friends were happy and thanked her. But one boy, Ben, was rude. He said he did not like roses. He said they were boring and smelled bad. He threw his rose on the ground and stepped on it. + +Lisa was very sad and angry. She felt embarrass. She did not understand why Ben was so mean. She said to him, "Why are you rude, Ben? Roses are beautiful and nice. You hurt my rose and my feelings. You are not my friend anymore." + +Ben did not care. He laughed and said, "I don't care. Roses are silly and girly. I like cars and trucks. They are cool and fun. You are silly and girly too. I don't want to be your friend." + +Lisa's other friends did not like what Ben said. They said to him, "You are wrong, Ben. Roses are not silly or girly. They are for everyone. They are a gift from nature. You are rude and mean. You should say sorry to Lisa and her rose." + +But Ben did not say sorry. He ran away and left. Lisa's friends hugged her and said, "Don't be sad, Lisa. We love your roses and we love you. You are a good friend and a good gardener. Ben is a bad friend and a bad person. He does not deserve your roses or your friendship." + +Lisa smiled and said, "Thank you, friends. You are right. Ben is bad and I don't need him. I have you and I have my roses. They make me happy and they are my true friends." She picked up the rose that Ben had stepped on and kissed it. She said, "I'm sorry, rose. You are still beautiful and nice. I will take care of you and make you feel better." She put the rose in a vase with water and gave it a sunny spot. She hoped the rose would heal and bloom again. She knew that roses were strong and brave, just like her. +Tim and Liz are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have a modern house with big windows and a big TV. Sometimes, they watch cartoons on the TV. + +One day, they smell something yummy from the kitchen. They run to see what it is. They see their mom making toast for breakfast. She puts bread in a machine and pushes a button. The machine makes a noise and then pops out toast. + +"Can we have some toast, mom?" Tim asks. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful, it's hot." Mom says. + +She gives them each a plate with toast and butter. Tim and Liz sit on the table and eat their toast. They like it a lot. + +But then, Liz sees something on the TV. It is a scary show with a big monster. The monster has sharp teeth and claws. It roars and chases people. + +Liz drops her toast and screams. She is very scared. She runs to mom and hugs her. + +"Mom, mom, there's a monster on the TV!" Liz cries. + +Tim hears Liz scream and looks at the TV. He sees the monster too. He panics and drops his toast. He runs to mom and hugs her too. + +"Mom, mom, make it go away!" Tim cries. + +Mom sees the TV and realizes what happened. She picks up the remote and changes the channel. She sees a happy show with animals and flowers. She smiles and hugs Tim and Liz. + +"It's okay, sweeties. It was just a show. It's not real. There's no monster here. You're safe with me." Mom says. + +Tim and Liz calm down and look at the TV. They see the happy show and smile too. They feel better. + +"Sorry, mom. We were scared." Tim says. + +"It's okay, honey. It's normal to be scared sometimes. But you don't have to panic. You can always come to me and I'll help you." Mom says. + +"Thank you, mom. We love you." Liz says. + +"I love you too, my darlings. Now, do you want some more toast?" Mom asks. + +Tim and Liz nod and say yes. They go back to the table and eat their toast. They are happy and not scared anymore. They enjoy their breakfast with mom. +Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Anna counts to ten and then opens her eyes. She looks around and sees a big tree. She thinks Ben might be hiding behind it. + +She walks to the tree and says, "Ben, are you there?" She hears a giggle from behind the tree. She smiles and runs to the other side. But Ben is not there. He has moved to another hiding spot. + +Anna is confused. She looks around again and sees a circle of rocks. She thinks Ben might be hiding inside it. She walks to the circle and says, "Ben, are you there?" She hears another giggle from inside the circle. She bends down and tries to peek inside. But Ben is not there. He has moved to another hiding spot. + +Anna is frustrated. She looks around again and sees a slide. She thinks Ben might be hiding under it. She walks to the slide and says, "Ben, are you there?" She hears no giggle this time. She kneels down and peeks under the slide. She sees Ben's feet sticking out. She laughs and grabs his feet. She says, "I found you, Ben!" + +Ben comes out from under the slide. He is smiling too. He says, "You are a good seeker, Anna. But I am a better hider. Let's play again." + +Anna agrees. She says, "OK, Ben. But this time, I will hide and you will seek. And no more moving to different hiding spots. That is not fair." + +Ben nods. He says, "OK, Anna. I will play fair. But you have to find a good hiding spot. Because I am a good seeker too." + +They hug and run to find new hiding spots. They are having fun in the park. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big red van parked near their house. They wanted to see what was inside, so they opened the door and climbed in. + +"Wow, look at all these buttons and wheels!" Tom said, touching everything he could. "I wonder what they do." + +"Be careful, Tom. We don't know who this van belongs to. Maybe we should go back," Lily said, feeling scared. + +But Tom did not listen. He found a big round thing that he could roll with his hands. He rolled it left and right, and then forward. Suddenly, the van started to move! + +"Tom, stop! You're driving the van!" Lily shouted, holding on to her seat. + +"I don't know how to stop! Help!" Tom cried, rolling the thing back and forth. + +The van went faster and faster, bumping into trash cans and mailboxes. Tom and Lily screamed as they saw a big wall in front of them. They closed their eyes and waited for the crash. + +But the crash did not come. Instead, they heard a loud honk and a voice. + +"Hey, kids! What are you doing in my van?" It was Mr. Brown, the owner of the van. He had seen them from his window and ran after them. He had a remote control that could stop the van. + +He opened the door and took them out. He was very angry and scared. + +"You could have hurt yourselves or someone else! This is not a toy, this is a van! You should never play with things that are not yours!" He said, shaking his head. + +Tom and Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. They apologized to Mr. Brown and promised to never do it again. + +They learned a lesson that day: to respect other people's things and to be careful with what they touch. They also learned to listen to their sister or brother, who might know better. They hugged each other and went back to their house, glad that they were safe. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to tell each other stories. + +One day, Ben told Lily a story about a big dragon that lived in the woods. He said the dragon was very scary and could breathe fire. Lily was very curious and wanted to see the dragon. Ben said he knew where the dragon was and he could show her. + +"Are you sure, Ben?" Lily asked. "Is this the truth?" + +"Yes, yes, it is the truth," Ben said. "Come with me, I will show you." + +Ben and Lily walked to the woods. Ben pointed to a big tree and said, "The dragon is behind that tree. You have to be very quiet and lean to see it." + +Lily leaned to see the dragon. But there was no dragon. There was only a big branch that looked like a tail. Ben laughed and said, "Got you! There is no dragon. I made it up. It was a joke." + +Lily was very sad and angry. She felt Ben lied to her and made fun of her. She said, "That was not a joke, Ben. That was a lie. You are not a good friend. You should not lie to your friends. Lying is bad. It hurts their feelings. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Ben realized he made a mistake. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. Lying is bad. I should not have lied to you. I was trying to be funny, but I was not. I was mean. Please forgive me. You are my best friend. I don't want to lose you." + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw he was sincere. She said, "I forgive you, Ben. But you have to promise me you will never lie to me again. You have to tell me the truth always. The truth is good. It makes our friendship stronger. Do you promise?" + +Ben nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. I will never lie to you again. I will tell you the truth always. The truth is good. It makes our friendship stronger." + +Ben and Lily hugged and smiled. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that lying is bad and the truth is good. They learned that being honest is important for being a good friend. They learned that a little lie can cause a big problem. They learned to lean on the truth, not on lies. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big yellow bus. They pretended to be drivers and passengers, and made noises like honk and beep. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. His name was Ben, and he looked sad. He had no toys and no friends. Lily and Sam felt sorry for him. + +"Hi, Ben. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked. + +Ben nodded shyly. He liked the big yellow bus, but he was afraid to touch it. + +"It's okay, you can play with it. We can share," Sam said. He was thoughtful and kind. + +Lily and Sam moved over and made room for Ben. They gave him a hat and a ticket, and invited him to join their bus. Ben smiled and thanked them. + +They had a lot of fun together. They drove to different places, like the zoo and the beach. They saw animals and waves. They laughed and sang songs. + +Lily and Sam were happy to include Ben in their game. Ben was happy to have new friends. They all enjoyed the big yellow bus. +Ben and Lily went to the lake with Mom and Dad. They liked to swim in the water and splash each other. Mom and Dad watched them from the shore and smiled. + +"Look, Ben, I found a hammer!" Lily said, holding up a shiny metal tool. She had seen Dad use it to fix things at home. + +"Wow, can I see?" Ben asked, swimming closer to her. + +"Sure, but be careful, it's heavy and hard," Lily said, handing him the hammer. + +Ben took the hammer and felt its weight. He wondered what he could do with it. He saw a big rock sticking out of the water. He had an idea. + +"Watch this, Lily, I'm going to break the rock!" he said, raising the hammer over his head. + +"Ben, no, don't do that!" Lily said, scared. "You might hurt yourself or make a lot of noise!" + +But Ben did not listen. He swung the hammer down with all his strength. He hit the rock with a loud clang. The rock did not break, but the hammer bounced back and hit Ben on the head. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried, dropping the hammer and holding his head. He felt a bump and some blood. + +Lily screamed and swam to him. She hugged him and tried to comfort him. + +"Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I told you not to do that!" she said, crying. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and ran to the water. They saw Ben and Lily and the hammer. They were worried and angry. + +"Ben, Lily, what happened? What were you doing with that hammer?" Mom asked, picking up Ben and checking his wound. + +"We found it, Mom, we were just playing," Lily said, sobbing. + +"Playing? That's not a toy, that's a dangerous tool! You could have hurt yourself or someone else! Where did you find it?" Dad asked, taking the hammer and looking around. + +"We found it by the trees, Dad, someone left it there," Lily said, pointing to the edge of the lake. + +Dad shook his head and sighed. He looked at the hammer and saw a name on it. It belonged to Mr. Jones, the carpenter who was working on a cabin nearby. + +"Come on, kids, we have to go and talk to Mr. Jones. He must be looking for his hammer. And Ben, you need to see a doctor. You have a cut on your head," Dad said, leading them to the car. + +Mom and Dad were not happy with Ben and Lily. They told them they had to be more careful and listen to each other. They also told them they had to say sorry to Mr. Jones and help him with his work. + +Ben and Lily felt bad and learned their lesson. They said sorry to Mr. Jones and helped him with his hammer. They also said sorry to each other and hugged. + +They still liked to swim in the lake, but they never played with hammers again. They also learned to be quiet and respectful of nature and other people. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They saw a big drain near the fence. It was dark and round and had holes in it. + +"Let's go and look at the drain," Tom said. He was curious and brave. + +"No, don't go there," Lily said. She was scared and careful. "The drain is scary. It might have monsters or spiders or snakes in it." + +Tom and Lily started to discuss. Tom said the drain was fun and exciting. Lily said the drain was dangerous and scary. They could not agree. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was a growl. It came from the drain. Tom and Lily stopped discussing. They felt afraid. They ran away from the drain. They ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is something in the drain!" they cried. "It made a scary noise!" + +Mom hugged them and calmed them down. She said it was probably just a cat or a dog. She said they should not play near the drain. It was not safe. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play somewhere else. They did not want to hear the scary noise again. They were happy to be with their mom. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box has many buttons on it. Some buttons are red, some are blue, some are yellow. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a magic box," Tom says. + +They want to try the buttons. Lily pushes a red button. The box makes a loud noise. Lily and Tom are scared. They run away from the box. + +They come back after a while. They are curious. Tom pushes a blue button. The box plays a song. Lily and Tom are happy. They dance to the song. + +They push more buttons. The box does different things. It provides light, bubbles, flowers, and candy. Lily and Tom are very happy. They share the candy and the flowers. They play with the bubbles and the light. + +They thank the box for the fun. They hug the box. They say goodbye to the box. They go home with their toys. They tell their moms and dads about the magic box. They hope to see the box again. +Tim and Mia like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. They have dolls, cars, blocks, and animals. They also have a feather that they found in the park. They like to tickle each other with the feather. + +One day, Tim has a bad idea. He wants to tie Mia's hair with the feather. He thinks it will be funny. He takes the feather and a string from the box. He sneaks behind Mia, who is playing with her doll. He ties the feather to her hair with the string. He pulls the string hard. + +Mia feels a tug on her hair. She turns around and sees Tim holding the string. She sees the feather in her hair. She is very upset. She cries and screams. She tries to get the feather out of her hair, but it is too tight. She runs to their mom, who is in the kitchen. + +Mom sees Mia crying and holding her hair. She sees the feather and the string. She is angry with Tim. She scolds him and tells him to say sorry to Mia. She takes scissors and cuts the string. She takes the feather out of Mia's hair. She hugs Mia and kisses her head. + +Tim feels bad. He knows he did a bad thing. He says sorry to Mia, but she does not want to talk to him. She does not want to play with him. She takes her doll and goes to another room. Tim is sad and lonely. He wishes he did not tie the feather to Mia's hair. He wishes he was nice to her. He puts the feather and the string back in the box. He does not want to play with them anymore. He sits on the floor and cries. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But they did not like the big dog that sometimes came. The big dog was black and loud. He barked and chased them. He made them scared. + +One day, they saw the big dog again. He was near the fence. He saw them and ran towards them. Ben and Mia ran away. They looked for a place to hide. They saw a white car. The car was wide and shiny. It had a big trunk. Ben and Mia opened the trunk and got inside. They hoped the big dog would not find them. + +The big dog came to the car. He smelled them. He jumped and scratched the car. He tried to open the trunk. He wanted to get them. Ben and Mia hugged each other. They wished the big dog would go away. + +Then they heard a voice. It was a man. The man was the owner of the car. He saw the big dog. He shouted at him. He told him to go away. He threw a stick. The big dog ran after the stick. The man came to the car. He opened the trunk. He saw Ben and Mia. + +"Are you OK?" he asked. "What are you doing here?" + +Ben and Mia looked at him. They were happy. They felt safe. They told him about the big dog. They said they were sorry for hiding in his car. They said they wanted to protect themselves. + +The man smiled. He was not angry. He was kind. He said he understood. He said he was glad they were not hurt. He said he would protect them from the big dog. He said he liked white cars. He said they were good for hiding. He said he had a surprise for them. He took them to his house. He had a small dog. The small dog was white and friendly. He licked their faces. He made them laugh. Ben and Mia liked the small dog. They played with him. They forgot about the big dog. They had a new friend. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a truck with ice cream. They run to the truck and ask for ice cream. + +"I want a cone with chocolate ice cream," Tom says. + +"I want a cone with vanilla ice cream," Mia says. + +The man in the truck gives them their cones. They are happy and say thank you. + +They sit on a bench and lick their ice cream. But Tom is stubborn. He does not want to share his cone with Mia. + +"Can I have a bite of your cone?" Mia asks. "I want to taste the chocolate." + +"No, this is my cone. You have your own cone," Tom says. + +"But I gave you a bite of my cone. You tasted the vanilla," Mia says. + +"I don't care. This is my cone and I like it," Tom says. + +He licks his cone faster and faster. He does not want Mia to have any. + +But he licks too fast. His cone breaks and his ice cream falls on the ground. He is sad and cries. + +Mia sees Tom crying. She feels sorry for him. She is not stubborn. She is kind. + +"Here, you can have some of my cone," she says. "I have enough ice cream for both of us." + +She breaks her cone in half and gives one half to Tom. He stops crying and smiles. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend," he says. + +They share the cone and the ice cream. They are happy and hug. They learn to share and not be stubborn. +Tom and Sue are playing in the park. They see a big dog. The dog is wild. It has no collar and no leash. It is hungry and angry. + +"Look, a dog!" Tom says. "Can we pet it?" + +"No, Tom, it is wild. It can bite us. We have to stay away," Sue says. + +But Tom likes dogs. He wants to be friends with the dog. He finds a stick and throws it. The dog runs after the stick. Tom runs after the dog. + +"Tom, come back! It is not safe!" Sue shouts. + +The dog gets the stick. It sees Tom. It growls and shows its teeth. Tom is scared. He stops and backs away. + +"Help, Sue, help!" Tom cries. + +Sue sees a man. The man has a bag. The man is a butcher. He has meat in his bag. Sue runs to the man. + +"Please, sir, help us! There is a wild dog. It wants to hurt my brother!" Sue says. + +The man sees the dog. He sees Tom. He takes a steak from his bag. He throws the steak to the dog. The dog smells the steak. It drops the stick. It runs to the steak. It eats the steak. + +"Thank you, sir, thank you!" Sue says. + +The man smiles. He picks up Tom. He brings him to Sue. + +"You are welcome, little ones. You are brave, but you have to be careful. Wild dogs are dangerous. You should not play with them. You should only play with nice dogs that have owners," the man says. + +Tom and Sue nod. They hug the man. They discover that he is kind. They discover that steaks are good for dogs. They discover that wild dogs are bad. They go home with the man. He gives them cookies. They are happy. They are safe. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with fire. They had a box of matches that they hid under their bed. Sometimes, when their mom and dad were busy, they would sneak out to the backyard and light the matches. They liked to watch the flames and the smoke. They thought it was fun and exciting. + +One day, their aunt and uncle came to visit. They brought a big cake and some presents for Lily and Ben. The twins were happy to see them, but they also wanted to play with their matches. They waited until their mom and dad and their aunt and uncle were talking in the living room. Then they grabbed their box of matches and ran to the backyard. + +They found a pile of dry leaves and sticks. They thought it would be a good place to make a big fire. They lit a match and threw it on the pile. The pile caught fire and started to burn. Lily and Ben clapped their hands and laughed. They lit another match and threw it on the fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. + +But they did not see that the fire was spreading to the fence and the trees. They did not hear their mom and dad and their aunt and uncle shouting and running to the backyard. They did not feel the heat and the smoke. They only saw the fire and the matches. + +Then, the fire reached their clothes. Lily and Ben screamed and cried. They tried to run away, but their clothes were too tight. They could not get them off. The fire burned their skin and their hair. They fell to the ground and stopped moving. + +Their mom and dad and their aunt and uncle reached them. They tried to put out the fire and help them. But it was too late. Lily and Ben were gone. The fire had taken them away. + +The moral of the story is: Fire is dangerous and can hurt you. You should never play with fire or matches. You should listen to your mom and dad and be careful. You should enjoy your visit and your cake and your presents. You should not do bad things that can make you lose everything. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But today, they had nothing to do. All their toys were boring. They looked around the house for something fun. + +"Look, Ben, there is the dishwasher!" Anna said. "It makes noise and water. Maybe we can play with it." + +Ben nodded. He followed Anna to the kitchen. They opened the dishwasher and saw many plates and cups inside. They took them out and put them on the floor. + +"Let's pretend they are cars and trains!" Ben said. He made a vroom sound and pushed a plate along the floor. + +Anna giggled. She picked up a cup and pretended it was a tunnel. She made a choo-choo sound and moved the cup over the plate. + +They had fun for a while, until they heard their mom's voice. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" Mom asked. She saw the mess on the floor and the empty dishwasher. She was not happy. + +"We are playing, Mom!" Anna said. "We are bored of our toys." + +Mom shook her head. "You can't play with the dishwasher, kids. It is not a toy. It is for washing the dishes. You have to put them back inside." + +Anna and Ben pouted. They did not want to stop playing. They liked the dishwasher. + +"Can we reverse it, Mom?" Ben asked. "Can we put the dishes back and then take them out again?" + +Mom sighed. "No, Ben, you can't reverse it. You have to put the dishes back and leave them there. Then you have to find something else to play with. Something that is not boring and not dangerous." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They helped Mom put the dishes back in the dishwasher. They said sorry to Mom. Then they went to their room to look for another game. They hoped it would be more fun than the dishwasher. +Ben loves dinosaurs. He has many dinosaur toys and books. He likes to play with them and learn their names. He knows that dinosaurs are very old and not here anymore. + +One day, Ben finds a big puzzle in his room. It has many pieces that look like bones. He thinks it is a dinosaur puzzle.

He is confused. He looks at the puzzle and the piece. He tries to find a place for it, but he can't. He is sad. He thinks he did something wrong. + +He shows the piece to his mom. She smiles and hugs him. She tells him that he did a great job. She says that the piece is not part of the puzzle. It is a fossil. It is a real bone from a real dinosaur. It is very old and very special. She says that Ben is a lucky boy to have it. + +Ben is amazed. He holds the fossil and feels its weight. He wonders what dinosaur it came from and how it lived. He thanks his mom and puts the fossil next to his puzzle. He is proud of his dinosaur and his fossil. He thinks he is a good solver. He roars again and smiles. +Sara liked to play with her rubber duck in the bath. She made it swim and splash and quack. She told it stories about the sea and the fish and the pirates.

They had many toys on the shelf. They liked to take them down and make stories with them. But today, they had to go to the dentist. Mom said they had to brush their teeth and get ready. + +Lily and Tom did not want to go to the dentist. They wanted to play more. They had an idea. They took all the toys from the shelf and put them on the floor. They made a big mess. They hoped Mom would see the mess and delay the dentist. + +But Mom was not happy. She came into the room and saw the toys everywhere. She was loud. She said, "Lily and Tom, what have you done? This is not how you treat your toys. You have to pick them up and put them back on the shelf. And you have to go to the dentist now. No more playing." + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They knew they had been naughty. They said sorry to Mom. They picked up the toys and put them back on the shelf. They brushed their teeth and got ready. They went to the dentist with Mom. + +The dentist was nice.

They went to the library every week to borrow new books. They had a big bookshelf at home where they kept their books. + +One day, they saw a big sign at the library. It said: "Book Sale! All books only one coin!" Tim and Lily were very happy. They ran to the book sale and looked at all the books. They saw many books they wanted to read. They each had five coins in their pockets. + +They picked up some books and went to the counter. The lady at the counter smiled and said: "Hello, children. Do you want to buy these books?" + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Lily said. + +"OK, that will be ten coins, please. Five for each of you." + +Tim and Lily gave the lady their coins and took their books.

They had wasted their coins on bad books. They wanted to return the books and get their coins back. But it was too late. The library was closed. The book sale was over. They had no way to get their money back. + +They cried and threw their books on the floor. They wished they had never gone to the book sale. They wished they had borrowed good books from the library instead. They had no books to read. They had no coins to buy new books. They had nothing. They had a bad day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big box under a tree. It had a bow and a tag. It said: "For Ben and Lily. A surprise from Mom and Dad." + +"What is it?" Ben asked. He wanted to open it. + +"Let's see." Lily said. She tried to lift the box. It was too heavy. She asked Ben to help her. They both lifted the box. It was still heavy. + +They heard a weird sound from the box. It was like a meow. They looked at each other. They wondered what was inside. + +They opened the box.

It purred and licked their faces. + +"Mom and Dad got us a kitten!" Ben said. He thanked them in his mind. + +"Me too!" Lily said. She thanked them too. + +They named the kitten Spot. They played with him in the park. They took him home. They gave him food and water. They made him a bed. They loved him. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. They found a big worm and a shiny stone. + +"Look, Lily, I found a stone. It is hard and cold," Ben said. + +"Let me see, Ben. Wow, it is shiny. Maybe it is iron. Iron is a kind of metal," Lily said. + +They heard a loud noise. It was their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, kids, lunch is ready. Enter the house and wash your hands," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the house. They put the worm and the stone in their pockets.

We found a big worm and a shiny stone. Can we show you?" Lily said. + +"Sure, after you finish your soup. But be careful with the stone. It might be sharp or dirty," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben finished their soup. They took out the worm and the stone from their pockets. They showed them to Mom. + +"Wow, you found a big worm and a shiny stone. The worm is soft and slimy. The stone is hard and cold. It does look like iron. Where did you find it?" Mom said. + +"We found it in a deep hole. It was under the dirt. Can we keep it?" Ben said. + +"I don't know, Ben. It might belong to someone else. Maybe we should ask Dad. He knows a lot about stones and metals. He will be home soon," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They put the worm and the stone back in their pockets. They waited for Dad to come home. They wanted to know more about their shiny stone. They hoped it was iron. Iron was a kind of metal. Metal was cool. +Tom liked to print poems on paper.

She is sick and I wanted to make her happy." + +His dad looked at the paper and the book. He saw the poem that Tom had chosen. He smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, Tom.

That's why the red light is on." + +Tom felt sad and said, "But how can I give Lily the poem now?" + +His dad hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tom. We can find another way. How about we write the poem by hand on a nice card? And we can draw some flowers and birds too. Do you think Lily would like that?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Yes, dad. I think she would love that. Thank you, dad." + +They went to the kitchen and found some paper, pens, and crayons. They wrote the poem by hand and drew some pictures. They put the card in an envelope and wrote Lily's name on it.

She said to Mommy, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I just wanted to design a tape house. I thought it was fine. I didn't mean to make you mad." + +Mommy did not listen. She took away all the tape and the scissors from Lily. She threw them in the trash. She said to Lily, "You are not allowed to play with tape anymore. You have to clean up this mess right now. And you have to go to your room without dinner. You are in big trouble!" + +Lily cried and cried. She did not like her Mommy. She did not like her tape house. She did not like her story.

Respect and listen to others. That is the way to live and be happy." +Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tent in the park. It was blue and had many balloons. + +"What is that?" Sara asked. + +"Maybe it is an event," Tom said. "Let's go and see." + +They ran to the tent. They saw many people and animals.

"Do you want to see a trick?" + +"Yes, please," Sara and Tom said. + +The clown took the bird and put it on his shoulder. He whispered something in the bird's ear.

"Let's take some and fill our plates." + +They used a big spoon and took some sausages out of the pot. They put them on their plates. They did not see that the pot was very hot. They did not hear their mom coming in. + +"Stop!" their mom shouted. "What are you doing? Those sausages are not for you. They are for the dog. They are icy cold. They were in the freezer. I just put them in the pot to thaw them. You could get sick if you eat them." + +But it was too late. Lily and Tom had already bitten into the sausages. They felt the icy cold in their mouths.

Do you like this sail?" she asked. + +"Yes, we do. But we both want to hold it and we can't share," Lily said. + +The lady nodded. "I understand. But do you know who made this sail?" + +They shook their heads. + +"I made it. It was a gift for my grandson, but he never came to visit me. I left it here, hoping someone would find it and enjoy it. But I also hoped they would be kind and respectful to each other and to the sail. It took me a long time and a lot of love to make it." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They looked at the sail and then at each other. + +"We're sorry, lady. We didn't know. We were selfish and rude. We should have shared and taken turns," Lily said. + +"Yes, we should have. We're sorry, too. Can we still play with your sail?" Tom asked. + +The lady smiled again. "Of course you can. But only if you promise to be nice and fair to each other and to the sail. And maybe you can also remind me of my grandson and make me happy." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They thanked the lady and took the sail. They flew it in the air and saw it move with the wind.

They realized that they both needed to say sorry and be friends. + +Lily said, "You know what, Max? You are a good lawyer. You tried hard. You made good points. But I think we both learned something today. The dog and the cat are not right or wrong. They are just different. They can still get along. They can still play together. Just like us." + +Max nodded. He said, "You are right, Lily. You are a good lawyer too. You tried hard. You made good points. But I think we both learned something today. The dog and the cat are not enemies.

It is not so bad. Look, the cloud is getting smaller and the wind is getting softer. See, the storm is going away." + +Tom looked at the sky and the sea. He saw that Polly was right. The storm was going away. The sun was coming out and the sea was getting calm. Tom felt better. He said to Polly, "You are right, Polly. The storm is going away. Maybe it was not so scary after all.

They are not hurt, but they are very sorry. They get out of the car and hug dad. They say they are sorry and they will never play with dad's car again. + +Dad is glad that his kids are safe. He is also sad that his car is ruined. He hugs his kids and tells them he loves them. He also tells them they are in big trouble. He says they have to mind his rules and not touch his things.

We are not silly. We are having fun. Go away." + +The big boy does not go away. He says, "I want to buy some clothes. I have a lot of coins. Give me that dress. It is pretty." + +He tries to grab the dress, but Lily and Ben hold on to it. They say, "No, you can't have it. It is our mom's dress. She loves it. You are mean. Leave us alone." + +The big boy pulls harder. He says, "I am stronger than you. I can take what I want. Give me the dress or I will make you cry." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They scream for help. Their mom hears them and comes out. She sees the big boy and the dress. She says, "Hey, what are you doing? Let go of my dress. That's not yours. That's mine. How dare you bully my children. Go away or I will call your mom." + +The big boy lets go of the dress. He runs away. He says, "Sorry, sorry, sorry. I was just joking. Don't call my mom. She will be mad." + +Lily and Ben hug their mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are strong. You saved us. We love you." + +Their mom says, "I love you too, my sweeties. You are brave. You did not let the big boy take your things. But next time, don't play with my clothes. They are not for sell. They are for wear. OK?" + +Lily and Ben say, "OK, mom. We are sorry. We will play with something else. Can we play with your hats?" + +Their mom says, "Sure, you can play with my hats. But only if you help me fold the laundry first. Deal?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Deal, mom. We will help you. We like to help. We are good helpers." + +They all smile and go inside. They fold the laundry and play with the hats. They have a lot of fun. They are a happy family. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing cops and robbers in the backyard. Lily had a toy gun and Ben had a hat and a badge. They ran around the trees and the swings, pretending to chase each other. + +"Stop, robber! You are under arrest!" Lily shouted, pointing her gun at Ben. + +"No, you can't catch me! I have a lot of money in my bag!" Ben said, holding a pillowcase. + +Lily ran after him, but Ben was too fast. He climbed up the slide and slid down. Lily followed him, but she slipped and fell. She dropped her gun on the grass. + +Ben saw his chance and grabbed the gun. He turned around and aimed at Lily. + +"Freeze, cop! Now I have the gun and you have nothing!" Ben said, smiling. + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not like to lose. She did not like Ben's smile. She wished she had her gun back. + +"Please, Ben, give me back my gun. It's not fair. It's just a game," Lily said, in a quiet voice. + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw her scared and sad face. He felt sorry for her. He did not want to make her cry. He remembered that they were friends. + +"OK, Lily, I'm sorry. Here is your gun. You can have it back. It's just a game," Ben said, in a kind voice. + +He gave her the gun and helped her up. They hugged and smiled. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Do you want to play something else?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. How about we play pirates? I have a hat and a sword. You can have a bandana and a hook," Ben said. + +"OK, Ben. That sounds fun. Let's go to the sandbox and make a treasure map," Lily said. + +They ran to the sandbox, holding hands. They forgot about the cops and robbers. They were happy. +Lily was a girl who liked to play in the woods. She was not afraid of the animals or the trees. She was ignorant of the dangers that lurked in the shadows. One day, she wandered too far from her home and found a dark cave. She was curious and wanted to see what was inside. + +She walked into the cave and saw a big bear sleeping on a pile of leaves. She thought the bear was cute and fluffy. She wanted to touch it and make friends with it. She tiptoed closer and reached out her hand. The bear opened its eyes and saw the girl. It roared loudly and showed its sharp teeth. + +Lily was scared and ran away. She trembled as she heard the bear chase her. She cried for help and hoped someone would hear her. She did not know where to go or how to get back to her home. + +"Help me, help me!" she shouted. + +Tom was a boy who lived near the woods. He heard Lily's voice and ran to see what was wrong. He saw the girl running from the cave and the bear behind her. He grabbed a stick and threw it at the bear. The bear stopped and growled at Tom. Tom shouted at the bear and waved his stick. He tried to scare the bear away. + +"Go away, go away! Leave the girl alone!" he yelled. + +The bear decided that the stick was not worth the trouble. It turned around and went back to the cave. Tom ran to Lily and hugged her. He asked her if she was okay. She nodded and thanked him. She was still trembling and crying. + +"Why did you go into the cave? Don't you know that bears are dangerous?" he asked her. + +"I didn't know. I thought the bear was nice. I was ignorant. I'm sorry," she said. + +Tom shook his head and smiled. He told her that it was okay. He said that he would take her home and teach her about the woods. He said that the woods were beautiful but also dangerous. He said that she had to be careful and smart. He said that he would be her friend and protect her. + +Lily smiled and wiped her tears. She said that she was glad that he was her friend. She said that she wanted to learn from him. She said that she would never go into the cave again. She said that she would listen to him and be careful and smart. + +They held hands and walked out of the woods. They were happy and safe. They were friends. +Lisa and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play with their toy cars. Lisa has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They make noises and pretend to drive on the carpet. + +One day, Lisa wants to try Ben's car. She asks him, "Can I play with your car, please?" Ben says, "No, it's mine. You have your own car." Lisa feels sad and angry. She says, "That's not fair. You never share." Ben says, "Too bad. Go away." + +Lisa waits until Ben is not looking. She grabs his car and runs away. Ben sees her and shouts, "Hey, give it back. That's my car." He chases her around the room. Lisa laughs and says, "Catch me if you can." + +Lisa runs to the kitchen. She sees a big table. She thinks, "I can hide under the table. Ben won't find me." She slides under the table with the car. She feels happy and smart. + +But she does not see the dog. The dog is sleeping under the table. The dog hears Lisa and wakes up. The dog sees the car and thinks, "A toy. I want to play." The dog barks and jumps on the car. Lisa screams and lets go of the car. The dog bites the car and shakes it. The car breaks and falls apart. + +Lisa is scared and sad. She crawls out from under the table. She sees Ben standing there. He looks angry and sad too. He says, "Look what you did. You broke my car. You are a bad sister." Lisa feels sorry and guilty. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I just wanted to play. I didn't mean to break your car." + +Ben says, "Sorry is not enough. You have to fix it. You have to reverse what you did." Lisa says, "How can I do that? I don't know how to fix a car." Ben says, "You have to try. Or I won't play with you ever again." Lisa feels anxious and helpless. She says, "Please, Ben. Don't be mad at me. I love you. You are my brother." Ben says, "I love you too. But you have to make it right. Come on, let's go find some glue." Lisa nods and follows him. She hopes they can fix the car and be friends again. +Tom and Anna were going to a party. They put on their best clothes and shoes. Anna wore a dress with a big bow on it. Tom wore a shirt with buttons and a tie. They were very excited. + +They got in the car with Mom and Dad and drove to the party. It was at a big house with lots of lights and balloons. They heard loud music and laughter from inside. They rang the doorbell and waited. + +A lady opened the door and smiled. She was wearing a hat with a bow on it, too. She said, "Hello, welcome to the party! You look very nice. Come in, come in!" + +She led them to a room with a big table full of food and drinks. There were other kids there, too. Some were playing games, some were dancing, some were eating. Tom and Anna saw a cake with candles on it. They wondered whose birthday it was. + +The lady said, "This is a special party for my son, Ben. He is turning four today. He is very shy, but he likes to make new friends. He is in the corner, playing with his toy train. Why don't you go and say hello?" + +Tom and Anna nodded and walked to the corner. They saw a boy with curly hair and glasses, holding a toy train. He looked up and saw them. He smiled a little and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you like trains?" + +Tom and Anna smiled back and said, "Yes, we do. We're Tom and Anna. Happy birthday, Ben!" + +Ben said, "Thank you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom and Anna said, "Sure, we'd love to." + +They sat down and played with the train. They made train noises and pretended to go on adventures. They had fun and became friends. They forgot about the loud music and the other kids. They were happy. + +The lady watched them and smiled. She was glad that Ben had found some nice friends. She thought that this was the best party ever. She went to the kitchen and got the cake. She brought it to the room and said, "Everyone, it's time to sing happy birthday to Ben!" + +All the kids gathered around the cake and sang. Ben blew out the candles and made a wish. He wished that Tom and Anna would always be his friends. He cut the cake and gave them the first pieces. They said, "Thank you, Ben. This is a yummy cake." + +Ben said, "You're welcome. Thank you for coming to my party. You're the best friends ever." + +They hugged and smiled. They ate the cake and drank the juice. They played some more games and danced some more. They had a great time. + +When it was time to go, Tom and Anna said goodbye to Ben. They gave him a card and a present. They said, "Happy birthday, Ben. We hope to see you again soon." + +Ben said, "Thank you, Tom and Anna. You made my birthday very special. I hope to see you again soon, too." + +They waved and left. They got in the car with Mom and Dad and drove home. They told them about the party and how they met Ben. They said, "He is a very nice boy. We like him a lot." + +Mom and Dad said, "We're happy for you. You're very good friends. We're proud of you." + +Tom and Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. We love you." + +They hugged and kissed. They went to bed and dreamed of trains and bows and parties. They were happy. +Ben and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make noises like the cars have motors. Vroom, vroom, vroom! + +One day, they decide to have a race with their cars. They find a long and smooth road in the park. They line up their cars at the start. They are both competitive. They want to win. + +"Ready, set, go!" Ben shouts. They push their cars as fast as they can. They watch their cars zoom along the road. They cheer for their cars. "Go, go, go!" + +Mia's car is red and shiny. It is very fast. It passes Ben's car, which is blue and old. Mia smiles. She thinks she will win. + +But Ben has a trick. He sees a small hill on the road. He waits until his car reaches the hill. Then he raises his car in the air. He throws his car over the hill. His car flies in the air. It lands ahead of Mia's car. + +"Wow!" Mia says. She is surprised. She sees Ben's car cross the finish line first. She stops her car. She claps for Ben. "You win, Ben. That was a good trick." + +Ben smiles. He picks up his car. He runs to Mia. He hugs her. "Thank you, Mia. You are a good racer. Do you want to race again?" + +Mia nods. She hugs him back. "Yes, Ben. I want to race again. But this time, no tricks." + +They laugh. They line up their cars again. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily was a little bird who lived in a nest with her mom and dad. She had three eggs that she was waiting to hatch. She was very impatient. She wanted to see her baby birds and play with them. + +One day, the sun was very hot. Lily felt warm and thirsty. She flew away to find some water. She left her eggs in the nest. She did not know that the sun was melting the snow on the roof. The snow became water and dripped down on the nest. + +When Lily came back, she saw water on her eggs. She was very sad and scared. She thought her eggs were broken. She cried and called for her mom and dad. They heard her and flew to the nest. They saw the water and the eggs. + +They told Lily not to worry. They said the eggs were not broken. They said the water was from the snow. They said the snow was melting because of the sun. They said the sun was good for the eggs. They said the eggs would hatch soon. + +Lily felt better. She thanked her mom and dad. She dried the eggs with her wings. She cuddled with them in the nest. She waited for them to hatch. She was still impatient, but she was also happy and hopeful. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy boat. They took it to the pond in the park and pretended to sail it on the water. They made noises like the wind and the waves and had fun. + +One day, they saw a big duck swimming near their boat. The duck was curious and pecked at the boat with its beak. Tom and Lily were scared and shouted at the duck. + +"Go away, duck! You are making our boat messy!" Tom said. + +"No, duck! You are hurting our boat! It needs oxygen to sail!" Lily said. + +The duck did not understand and kept pecking. It made a hole in the boat and the water went inside. The boat started to sink and Tom and Lily cried. + +"Oh no, our boat! It is broken and wet!" Tom said. + +"We need to get it out of the pond! It has no oxygen!" Lily said. + +They ran to the edge of the pond and tried to reach the boat with their hands. But the boat was too far and they could not get it. They felt sad and angry at the duck. + +The duck saw them and quacked. It did not mean to be bad. It just wanted to play with the boat. It swam to the boat and pushed it with its beak. It made the boat move closer to Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily saw the boat coming and smiled. They thanked the duck and grabbed the boat. They dried it with their clothes and hugged it. + +"Thank you, duck! You are not messy. You are nice!" Tom said. + +"Yes, thank you, duck! You are not hurting. You are helping!" Lily said. + +The duck was happy and wagged its tail. It quacked again and swam away. Tom and Lily waved at the duck and went home with their boat. They still liked to sail it on the pond, but they were more careful with the duck. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with fire. They had a box of matches that they hid under their bed. One day, when their mom was out, they decided to light some matches and watch the flames. + +"Look, Anna, how pretty the flame is!" Ben said, holding a match in his hand. + +"Yes, Ben, it is very pretty. But be careful, don't burn yourself or the bed," Anna said, holding another match. + +They lit more matches and threw them on the floor. They laughed and clapped as they saw the flames grow bigger and brighter. + +"Anna, I want to light more matches. Give me some," Ben said, reaching for the box. + +"No, Ben, these are mine. You already had enough. Go away," Anna said, pulling the box away. + +"Anna, don't be selfish. Share with me. It's not fair," Ben said, trying to grab the box. + +They started to fight over the box, pulling and pushing each other. They did not care about the flames that were spreading around them. They did not hear the smoke alarm that was beeping. They did not see the fire that was reaching their bed. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing? Stop it! There's a fire!" their mom shouted, running into the room. She saw her children fighting over a box of matches, surrounded by flames. She was scared and angry. She tried to reach them, but it was too late. The fire was too big and too hot. She could not save them. She could only cry and scream. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys and eat jelly. One day, they go to Anna's house. Anna's mom says they can play in her room, but they have to be tidy. + +"Look at all my toys!" Anna says. "You can play with any of them, Tom." + +"Thank you, Anna. You have so many toys. Can I play with this doll?" Tom says. + +"Sure, Tom. She is my favorite doll. Her name is Lily. She likes hugs." Anna says. + +Tom and Anna play with Lily and other toys. They have fun. They hug Lily and each other. They eat jelly. They forget to be tidy. They make a big mess in Anna's room. + +Anna's mom comes to see them. She is angry. She sees the mess. She sees jelly on the bed and on the floor. She sees toys everywhere. + +"What have you done?" Anna's mom says. "This is not tidy. This is very bad. You have to clean up right now. And no more jelly for you." + +Anna and Tom are sad. They say sorry to Anna's mom. They try to clean up. But it is too late. Anna's mom says Tom has to go home. She says Anna has to stay in her room. She takes Lily away. She says Anna can't play with her until she learns to be tidy. + +Anna and Tom cry. They want to hug Lily and each other. They want to eat jelly. They want to play. But they can't. They have a bad day. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a big truck and Mia has a doll. They are having fun, but Tom wants to play with the doll too. + +"Can I have your doll, Mia?" Tom asks. + +"No, Tom, this is my doll. You have your truck," Mia says. + +"But I like your doll. She has a pretty dress and a nice image on her shirt. Let me see her," Tom says. + +He tries to grab the doll from Mia, but Mia holds it tight. They start to pull and tug on the doll, making it cry. + +"Stop it, Tom! You are hurting my doll!" Mia shouts. + +"Give me the doll, Mia! It is my turn!" Tom shouts back. + +Their mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees Tom and Mia fighting over the doll and frowns. + +"What is going on here? Why are you not sharing your toys?" she asks. + +"Tom wants my doll, but it is mine. He has his truck," Mia says. + +"But I want the doll too. She is better than the truck," Tom says. + +Mom shakes her head and picks up the doll. She looks at it and smiles. + +"This is a very nice doll, Mia. She has a pretty dress and a nice image on her shirt. Do you know what the image is?" she asks. + +Mia nods. "It is a rainbow. I like rainbows. They are colorful and happy," she says. + +Mom nods too. "That is right, Mia. Rainbows are colorful and happy. They are also a sign of peace and hope. Do you know what that means?" she asks. + +Mia shakes her head. "No, Mom, what does that mean?" she asks. + +Mom explains. "It means that when you see a rainbow, you can feel calm and glad. You can also remember that you should be kind and gentle to others, even when you are angry or sad. You should not fight or hurt them, but try to understand and help them. That is what peace and hope mean," she says. + +Mia thinks about what Mom says. She feels sorry for fighting with Tom. She looks at Tom and sees that he is sad too. She decides to do something nice for him. + +"Tom, I am sorry for not sharing my doll with you. You can play with her for a while, if you want. I can play with your truck," she says. + +Tom looks at Mia and smiles. He feels happy that she is being kind to him. He decides to do something nice for her too. + +"Mia, I am sorry for trying to take your doll from you. You can have her back, if you want. I can play with my truck," he says. + +Mia and Tom hug each other and say sorry. They exchange their toys and play together. Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of them for being peaceful and hopeful. She thinks they are very healthy and good children. She joins them and plays with them too. They all have fun and enjoy the rainbow doll. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw a big bush with green leaves and red flowers. She thought Ben might be hiding there. + +She walked to the bush and peeked behind it. She saw a small brown basket with some fruits inside. There were apples, bananas, oranges and pears. Lily liked pears. She took one from the basket and bit into it. It was sweet and juicy. + +"Hey, that's my pear!" Ben shouted. He came out from behind the tree next to the bush. He had been hiding there all along. He saw Lily eating his pear and got angry. He ran to her and tried to grab the pear from her hand. + +"Stop it, Ben! It's mine now!" Lily shouted back. She held the pear tightly and pushed Ben away. They both started to fight over the pear. They pulled and tugged and shouted and cried. + +They did not see the big dog that came out from the house. The dog saw the basket of fruits and smelled the pear. He liked pears too. He ran to the bush and barked loudly. He scared Lily and Ben. They dropped the pear and looked at the dog. They felt helpless. The dog was bigger and stronger than them. He picked up the pear with his mouth and ran away. + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting and hugged each other. They were sorry for being mean and greedy. They decided to share the fruits and play nicely. They learned a lesson that day. Pears are good, but friends are better. +Lily and Tom were cheerful friends who liked to play outside. They had a game where they would run to the mailbox and see who could get there first. They would laugh and shout as they raced each other. + +One day, they saw a big truck parked near the mailbox. They wondered what it was doing there. They decided to go closer and look. They saw a man with a tool in his hand. He was fixing something on the mailbox. + +"Hello, what are you doing?" Lily asked the man. + +"I'm repairing the mailbox. It was broken by some naughty kids," the man said. + +"Can we help you?" Tom asked. + +"No, you can't. This is not a game. This is a job. You should stay away from the truck and the mailbox. They are dangerous," the man said. + +But Lily and Tom did not listen. They thought the man was mean and boring. They wanted to have fun. They waited until the man was busy with his tool and then they ran to the mailbox. They tried to open it and see what was inside. + +But they did not know that the man had put a wire on the mailbox. The wire was connected to the truck. The wire had electricity. When Lily and Tom touched the mailbox, they got a big shock. They screamed and fell to the ground. They did not laugh anymore. They were hurt and scared. + +The man heard them and ran to help them. He called for help on his phone. He was sorry and angry. He told them they should have listened to him. He said they were foolish and careless. + +Lily and Tom cried and wished they had not played with the mailbox. They learned a hard lesson. They did not have a cheerful day. They had a bad day. +Lily and Max were playing with bubbles in the park. They had a big bottle of soap and a wand. They blew the bubbles and watched them fly in the air. They liked how the bubbles were shiny and round. + +"Look, Lily, that bubble is very big!" Max said, pointing at a bubble that was bigger than his head. + +"Wow, Max, you are right! Let's catch it!" Lily said, running after the bubble. + +They chased the bubble, but it was too fast. It floated over the fence, where a dog was barking. The dog saw the bubble and jumped to pop it. + +"Hey, that's our bubble!" Max shouted, feeling sad. + +The dog popped the bubble with his nose and wagged his tail. He looked at Lily and Max and ran to them. He licked their faces and wagged his tail more. + +"Hi, doggy, you are very friendly!" Lily said, smiling. + +"Sorry, doggy, we didn't mean to yell at you. You just popped our bubble," Max said, feeling sorry. + +The dog barked and nudged them with his nose. He wanted to play with them. He found another bubble and chased it. + +"Can we play with you, doggy?" Lily asked, politely. + +The dog barked again and nodded. He liked Lily and Max. They played with the bubbles and the dog for a long time. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +When it was time to go home, Lily and Max hugged the dog and said goodbye. The dog licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was happy to have new friends. + +"Thank you, doggy, for playing with us. You are very nice," Lily said. + +"See you soon, doggy. You are very fun," Max said. + +They waved at the dog and walked away. They still had some bubbles left. They blew them and watched them fly in the air. They liked how the bubbles were shiny and round. +Lily liked to play with her dolls every day. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a big smile. Lily and Anna did everything together. They had tea parties, read books and sang songs. + +But on Wednesday, Lily could not play with Anna. Her mom said she had to go to the dentist. Lily did not like the dentist. The dentist had a big chair, a loud drill and a bitter paste. The dentist made Lily open her mouth and poke her teeth. It hurt and tasted bad. + +"Mom, can I bring Anna to the dentist?" Lily asked. She hoped her mom would say yes. She wanted Anna to make her feel better. + +"No, Lily, you can't bring Anna to the dentist," her mom said. "The dentist does not permit toys in his office. You have to leave Anna at home." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to leave Anna at home. She did not want to go to the dentist. She wanted to play with Anna. + +"Please, mom, please," Lily begged. "Anna is not a toy. She is my friend. She will be quiet and good. Please, mom, please." + +Her mom looked at Lily and saw her tears. She felt sorry for Lily. She knew Lily was scared of the dentist. She wanted to make Lily happy. + +"Okay, Lily, okay," her mom said. "You can bring Anna to the dentist. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will be brave and listen to the dentist. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She was glad her mom changed her mind. She ran to get Anna and put her in her backpack. She was still nervous about the dentist, but she felt better with Anna by her side. She hoped the dentist would be nice and gentle. She hoped the bitter paste would not be too bad. She hoped Wednesday would be over soon. +Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they wanted more. They saw a big drawer under their bed. They opened it and found many things inside. There were books, clothes, tools, and pictures. + +"Wow, look at all this stuff!" Ben said. "Let's take it and play with it!" + +Lily nodded. She grabbed a book and opened it. She saw many words and pictures. She did not know what they meant. She threw the book away. Ben picked up a tool. It was a hammer. He tried to hit something with it. He hit his finger and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said. "This tool is not fun. It hurts!" + +Lily and Ben threw away the tools. They looked at the clothes. They were old and dirty. They did not fit them. They threw away the clothes. They looked at the pictures. They were of people they did not know. They did not care about them. They threw away the pictures. + +They emptied the drawer and made a big mess. They did not find anything they liked. They were bored and unhappy. + +Their mom came into the room. She saw the mess and was angry. + +"What have you done?" she asked. "Why did you take out everything from the drawer?" + +Lily and Ben looked at their mom. They did not know what to say. + +"That drawer was full of useful things," mom said. "They belonged to your grandma and grandpa. They gave them to me before they went away. They were very important to me. They had stories and memories and love. You did not notice that. You did not respect that. You were selfish and greedy. You should be sorry." + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They realized they had done something wrong. They did not mean to hurt their mom. They did not understand the value of the things in the drawer. + +They said sorry to their mom. They helped her pick up the things and put them back in the drawer. They asked her to tell them about the things and their grandma and grandpa. They listened and learned. They noticed that the things were useful and special. They thanked their mom for sharing them with them. They hugged her and said they loved her. + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she loved them too. She said she was proud of them for being sorry and learning. She said they could play with the things in the drawer, but only with care and respect. She said they could also play with their own toys, but only with gratitude and joy. + +Lily and Ben agreed. They played with the things in the drawer and their own toys. They had fun and were happy. They learned to notice and value what they had. They learned to be kind and thankful. They learned a good lesson. +Lily was a kind girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. One morning, she wanted to make toast for breakfast. She asked her mom, "Can I use the toaster, please?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can, but be careful. The toaster is hot and you need to wait for the toast to pop up. Do you know how to use it?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I put the bread in the slots and push the lever down. Then I wait for the toast to pop up and I take it out with the tongs." + +Her mom said, "That's right. You are a smart girl. But don't forget to shake the crumbs off the toast before you put it on the plate. Otherwise, they will make a mess on the table." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I will shake the toast." She put two slices of bread in the toaster and pushed the lever down. She watched the toaster with excitement. She liked the sound and the smell of the toast. + +Soon, the toast popped up and Lily used the tongs to take them out. She remembered to shake the toast over the sink to get rid of the crumbs. She put the toast on a plate and spread some butter and jam on them. She was proud of her toast. + +She brought the plate to the table and said, "Mom, I made toast for you and me. Do you like it?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I love it, Lily. You are a kind and helpful girl. Thank you for making toast for us. You made my day." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, mom. I love you." + +They ate the toast together and enjoyed their breakfast. + +The moral value of the story is: Kindness is a good quality that makes others happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and climb on the monkey bars. They also liked to share their snacks and toys. + +One day, Lily brought a big lollipop to the park. It was red and shiny and smelled like strawberries. Ben wanted to try it, but Lily said no. She said it was her special lollipop and she did not want to share it. Ben felt sad and angry. He thought Lily was being mean and selfish. + +He decided to get the lollipop from Lily. He waited until she was climbing on the monkey bars. Then he ran to her backpack and grabbed the lollipop. He ran away as fast as he could. Lily saw him and shouted, "Hey, that's mine! Give it back!" + +Ben did not listen. He ran to the other side of the park. He unwrapped the lollipop and licked it. It was sweet and juicy. He smiled and said, "Mmm, this is good." + +But then he heard a loud roar. He turned around and saw a big dog. The dog had spotted the lollipop and wanted it too. The dog barked and ran towards Ben. Ben was scared. He dropped the lollipop and climbed up a tree. The dog reached the lollipop and ate it. It wagged its tail and licked its lips. + +Lily came to the tree and saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Are you okay? That was a mean dog." + +Ben nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should not have taken your lollipop. It was your special lollipop and you did not want to share it. I was being mean and selfish." + +Lily smiled. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are my best friend. I should have shared my lollipop with you. It was a big lollipop and we could have both enjoyed it. I was being mean and selfish too." + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. They climbed down the tree and went back to the monkey bars. They played and laughed and had fun. They were happy and creative. They made up a new game with the lollipop wrapper. They called it "Lollipop Catch". They threw the wrapper in the air and tried to catch it. They had a lot of fun. They learned to share and be kind. They were best friends. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. But they want a new truck. A big, red, wide truck. + +They see the truck in the shop. It is very shiny and loud. They ask Mom to buy it for them. Mom looks at the price. It is too much. She says no. Tom and Sam are sad and angry. They cry and shout. + +Mom says they can buy a smaller truck. A blue, quiet, narrow truck. It is cheaper. Tom and Sam do not like it. They say it is boring and ugly. They do not want it. They want the big, red, wide truck. + +Mom says they have to choose. They can buy the blue truck or no truck. She says the big, red, wide truck will not fit in their room. It will take up too much space. They will have no room for their other cars and trucks. + +Tom and Sam think. They look at their room. They look at their cars and trucks. They look at the big, red, wide truck. They look at the blue truck. They look at Mom. They look at each other. + +They decide to buy the blue truck. They say sorry to Mom. They say thank you to Mom. They take the blue truck home. They play with it and their other cars and trucks. They have fun. They are happy. +Sam and Mia like to play outside when it is hot. They have a hose that makes water come out. They can make the water go up and down and all around. They can spray each other and laugh. + +One day, they see a big rainbow in the sky. It has many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They think it is very pretty and want to touch it. + +"Let's go to the rainbow!" Sam says. + +"How can we go?" Mia asks. + +"Maybe we can use the hose!" Sam says. He has an idea. He turns the hose on and points it at the sun. He hopes the water will make a rainbow. + +But nothing happens. The water just goes on the grass and makes it wet. Sam and Mia are sad. They want to see the rainbow up close. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is calling them from the porch. + +"Sam, Mia, come here! I have something for you!" she says. + +They run to Mom. She has a surprise for them. She has two perfect things in her hands. They are shiny and round and have many colors. They are bubbles! + +"Look, I made some bubbles for you!" Mom says. "You can blow them and see the rainbow in them!" + +Sam and Mia are happy. They take the bubbles and blow them. They see the rainbow in the bubbles. They are like little rainbows that they can hold. They thank Mom and go back to the hose. They spray the bubbles and the water and make more rainbows. They have fun with the hose and the bubbles. They think it is a perfect day. +Lily and Ben like to create things with paper and crayons. They make animals, cars, flowers and more. One day, they decide to create a clown. They find a big sheet of paper and draw a face with a red nose, big eyes and a smile. They cut out a hat and a bow tie and glue them on the paper. They also find some yarn and make some hair for the clown. + +"Look, our clown is done!" Lily says. "He is very funny and colorful." + +"Yes, he is. But he needs something else," Ben says. "He needs a friend." + +"A friend? What kind of friend?" Lily asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. Then he runs to his room and comes back with his furry teddy bear. He puts the bear next to the clown and says, "There, now he has a friend. A furry friend." + +Lily smiles and hugs the bear. "You are right, Ben. The bear is a good friend for the clown. And you are a good friend for me." + +They both giggle and play with the clown and the bear. They have a lot of fun creating and imagining. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the garden. They have a big tent and some toys. They pretend to be hunters and look for animals. + +One day, they find a long stick. They think it is a spear. They want to use it to catch a rabbit. They see a rabbit behind a bush. They sneak up to it. They are very quiet. + +"Ready, Sam?" Tim whispers. + +"Yes, Tim. Throw the spear!" Sam whispers back. + +Tim throws the spear. But he slips on a stone. The spear flies over the rabbit. It lands in the flower bed. The rabbit runs away. + +"Oh no!" Tim says. "We missed the rabbit. And we made a mess. Mom will be angry." + +Sam looks at the flower bed. He sees some broken flowers and some dirt. He feels sorry. + +"Let's tidy up, Tim. Maybe Mom won't notice." Sam says. + +They pick up the spear and the flowers. They try to fix the flower bed. They hope Mom will be happy. +Anna and Ben are friends who like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, bridges, houses and more with their blocks. + +One day, they decide to play a game. They want to see who can make the longest row of blocks. They each take some blocks and start to put them in a line. Anna uses red blocks and Ben uses blue blocks. + +"Look, my row is longer than yours!" Anna says. She adds one more red block to the end of her row. + +"No, mine is longer!" Ben says. He adds one more blue block to the end of his row. + +They keep adding blocks until they run out of space. They look at their rows and see that they are the same length. + +"Wow, our rows are a match!" Anna says. She smiles at Ben. + +"Hey, you're right!" Ben says. He smiles back at Anna. + +They touch their rows and feel how smooth they are. They are proud of their work. + +"Can we play together?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, let's play together!" Ben agrees. + +They join their rows and make a big rainbow of blocks. They have more fun playing together than playing alone. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes it is better to cooperate than to compete. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to look for shiny things in the grass. Sometimes they found coins, buttons, or rings. They put them in a box and pretended they were treasure. + +One day, they saw something very brilliant under a tree. It was a big copper pot. It had a lid with a handle. Lily and Sam ran to the pot and opened the lid. Inside, there were many bright lights. They blinked and blinked, but the lights did not go away. + +"What are they?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe they are stars." + +"Can we touch them?" Lily wondered. + +"Let's try," Sam said. + +They reached their hands into the pot. The lights felt warm and soft. They tickled their fingers. Lily and Sam giggled. They felt happy and curious. + +They did not see the old man who was watching them from behind the tree. He had a long beard and a pointy hat. He smiled and whispered, "Well done, children. You have found my magic pot. You can keep it, if you promise to share it with others. It will bring you joy and wonder. But be careful, do not let anyone take it from you. It is very precious." + +Lily and Sam heard the voice, but they did not see the man. They looked around, but they only saw the tree. They shrugged and went back to the pot. They decided to take it home and show it to their parents. They hoped they would like it too. They did not know they had met a wizard. +Tommy was sad. He had a big ouchie on his knee. He fell down from his bike yesterday. He cried a lot. Mommy put a band-aid on his ouchie and gave him a hug. + +"Will my ouchie heal soon, Mommy?" Tommy asked. + +"Yes, my sweetie, it will heal soon. You just need to rest and be careful," Mommy said. + +Tommy wanted to play with his friends. He saw them outside, riding their bikes and having fun. He felt left out. He did not want to rest. He wanted to join them. + +"Mommy, can I go outside and play with my friends?" Tommy asked. + +"No, Tommy, you can't. You need to stay inside and let your ouchie heal. Maybe tomorrow you can play with them, if you are better," Mommy said. + +"But Mommy, I want to play now. They are having so much fun. Please, Mommy, please," Tommy begged. + +"Sorry, Tommy, but no. You have to listen to me. I know what is best for you. You can play with your toys or watch some TV. There are many things you can do inside," Mommy said. + +Tommy was angry. He did not like Mommy's answer. He did not want to play with his toys or watch TV. He wanted to play with his friends. He thought Mommy was mean. He decided to sneak out when Mommy was not looking. + +He put on his shoes and his jacket. He grabbed his bike. He opened the door quietly. He ran outside. He saw his friends. He smiled. He rode his bike towards them. + +But he did not see the car. The car was fast. The car did not see him. The car hit him. Tommy flew off his bike. He landed on the ground. He had many ouchies. He screamed. His friends screamed. The car stopped. The driver got out. He was scared. He called for help. + +Mommy heard the noise. She looked outside. She saw Tommy. She saw the car. She saw the blood. She dropped everything. She ran outside. She cried. She held Tommy in her arms. + +"Tommy, Tommy, what have you done? Why did you go outside? Why didn't you listen to me?" Mommy sobbed. + +Tommy was in pain. He was sorry. He wished he had listened to Mommy. He wished he had stayed inside. He wished he had let his ouchie heal. He wished he could say sorry to Mommy. But he could not. He closed his eyes. He did not open them again. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They see a big basket under a tree. They run to the basket and look inside. They find a hairy dog sleeping in the basket. The dog is brown and white and has a long tail. + +"Hello, doggy!" Lily says. She tries to touch the dog, but the dog growls and shows his teeth. Lily is scared and jumps back. Tom is brave and says, "Don't be afraid, doggy. We are your friends. We want to play with you." + +The dog stops growling and looks at Tom and Lily. He wags his tail and licks Tom's hand. Tom and Lily are happy and pet the dog. They give him a name. They call him Spot. + +"Spot, you are very hairy," Tom says. "You need a wash. Come with us. We have a hose and a bucket. We will make you clean and shiny." + +Tom and Lily take Spot to the hose and the bucket. They fill the bucket with water and turn on the hose. They splash water on Spot and rub him with soap. Spot likes the water and the soap. He shakes his fur and makes bubbles. Tom and Lily laugh and get wet too. + +"Spot, you are a good dog," Lily says. "You are clean and shiny. You are our friend. We love you." + +Spot barks and jumps on Tom and Lily. He gives them kisses and hugs. They hug him back and take him to the basket. They put a blanket on him and say, "Good night, Spot. Sleep well. We will see you tomorrow." + +Spot snuggles in the basket and closes his eyes. He is happy and warm. He dreams of Tom and Lily and their garden. He is their dog and they are his family. +Lily and Max like to play in the woods. They have a big dog named Spot who likes to run and bark. One day, they find a new trail in the woods. It has many trees and flowers and birds. Lily and Max want to see where it goes. + +They follow the trail with Spot. They see a big lake with fish and frogs. They see a small hill with rocks and dirt. They see a dark cave with bats and spiders. Lily and Max think the trail is fun. Spot thinks the trail is scary. + +Spot does not like the cave. He hears a loud roar from inside. He thinks it is a monster. He runs away from the cave. He runs so fast that he loses Lily and Max. He does not know where they are. He does not know where the trail is. He is lost and scared. + +Lily and Max do not hear the roar. They do not see Spot run away. They keep following the trail. They think Spot is behind them. They do not know he is lost and scared. They do not know they are alone. + +After a while, they reach the end of the trail. They see a big house with a fence and a gate. They see a sign that says "Welcome to Grandma's". They are happy. They think Grandma will give them cookies and milk. They think Spot will be there too. + +They open the gate and walk to the house. They knock on the door. They hear a voice that says "Who is it?". They say "It's Lily and Max. We followed the trail to your house. Where is Spot?". They hear another voice that says "Spot? Who is Spot?". They hear another roar that sounds like the one from the cave. They are scared. They think the monster is in the house. They think Grandma is not Grandma. They think they made a big mistake. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun, but they wanted to do something different. + +"Let's imagine we are in a different place," Ben said. "We can pretend we are in the jungle, or the moon, or the castle." + +"OK," Lily agreed. "But I want to go first. I imagine we are in a fairy land, where everything is pink and sparkly. My doll is a princess and your truck is a unicorn." + +Ben did not like Lily's idea. He did not like pink and sparkly things. He liked blue and green and loud things. He wanted to imagine something else. + +"No, that's boring," he said. "I imagine we are in a dinosaur land, where everything is big and scary. My truck is a T-rex and your doll is a snack." + +Lily did not like Ben's idea. She did not like big and scary things. She liked small and cute and pretty things. She wanted to keep her idea. + +"No, that's mean," she said. "I don't want my doll to be a snack. I want her to be a princess. You can't change my idea." + +"Yes, I can," Ben said. "You can't tell me what to imagine. I can imagine whatever I want." + +They started to argue and shout. They did not want to share their ideas. They did not want to play together. + +The result was a big mess. Their toys were everywhere. Their mom came in and saw them. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting? Why are you making so much noise?" + +They tried to explain, but they could not. They only used simple words, but their words did not make sense. Their mom did not understand their ideas. She thought they were unusual. + +She shook her head and sighed. She told them to stop fighting and to clean up their toys. She told them to use their imagination, but to be nice and respectful to each other. She told them to have fun, but to be quiet. + +They nodded and said sorry. They did what she said. They cleaned up their toys and played together. They imagined they were in a different place, but they agreed on one idea. They imagined they were in a rainbow land, where everything was colorful and happy. They had fun and they were quiet. Their mom smiled and was happy. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. The box has a lock on it. + +"Look, a box!" Sara says. "What is inside?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe toys or candy. Let's open it." + +They try to open the lock, but it is too hard. They pull and push, but nothing happens. + +"Maybe we need a key," Sara says. + +"Or maybe we need a kiss," Ben says. He smiles at Sara. + +"A kiss?" Sara asks. "Why a kiss?" + +Ben shrugs. "I heard that kisses can open locks. Like in fairy tales. Do you want to try?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes Ben. He is nice and funny. She nods. + +"Okay, let's try." + +They lean closer and kiss each other on the lips. It feels warm and soft. They giggle. + +Suddenly, they hear a click. The lock opens. They look at each other in surprise. + +"Wow, it worked!" Ben says. + +They open the box and see what is inside. It is full of cookies. They are round and brown and have chocolate chips on them. + +"Yummy, cookies!" Sara says. + +"Delicious!" Ben says. + +They take some cookies and eat them. They are sweet and crunchy. They share them with each other. + +They smile and kiss again. They are happy. They have a secret. They can open locks with kisses. +Jill had a purple bump on her knee. She got it when she fell off her bike. It hurt a lot and she cried. Mom put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug. + +"Will it heal soon?" Jill asked. + +"Yes, sweetie, it will heal in a week or so. You just need to be careful and not scratch it," Mom said. + +Jill nodded and tried to forget about her bump. She played with her dolls and read some books. She liked to do those things. + +But one day, she saw a big dog outside. She loved dogs and wanted to pet it. She ran to the door and opened it. But she forgot about her bike. She tripped over it and fell again. She scraped her other knee and it bled. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she screamed. + +Mom heard her and came running. She saw Jill on the ground and the dog barking. She picked her up and took her inside. She cleaned her wound and put another band-aid on it. + +"I'm sorry, honey, you have another bump now. But don't worry, it will heal too. You just need to be more careful and watch where you go," Mom said. + +Jill sniffed and nodded. She hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +Mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "You are welcome, Jill. You are the best too." +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then Lily saw something shiny on the table. It was a red marker. Lily liked red. She wanted to draw with the red marker. + +She grabbed the marker and ran to the wall. She started to make big red lines and circles on the white wall. She was happy. She did not hear Tom calling her name. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" Tom shouted. He saw what Lily was doing. He knew that Mom and Dad would be angry. They did not like when Lily and Tom made a mess. They said that walls were not for drawing. They said that markers were not for babies. They said that they had to be careful and respectful. + +Tom ran after Lily. He tried to take the marker from her hand. But Lily did not want to give it. She liked the red marker. She pushed Tom away. Tom fell down on the floor. He hurt his knee. He started to cry. + +Lily did not care. She kept drawing on the wall. She did not see Mom and Dad coming up the stairs. They heard Tom crying. They saw the red marks on the wall. They were very angry. + +"Lily, what have you done?" Mom yelled. She took the marker from Lily's hand. She threw it in the trash. She grabbed Lily by the arm. She dragged her to the stairs. She said that Lily was a bad girl. She said that Lily had to go to her room. She said that Lily had no toys and no TV and no dessert. + +Lily was scared. She did not like Mom and Dad yelling. She did not like going to her room. She did not like being alone. She wished she had not taken the red marker. She wished she had listened to Tom. She wished she had not made a mess. She wished she had been a good girl. + +But it was too late. Lily had to go to her room. She had to sit on her bed. She had to look at the wall. She had to see the red marks. She had to feel the dry tears on her face. She had to wait for a long time. She had to be sorry. She had to be sad. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big truck. Mia has a small doll. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, Tom and Mia go to the toy store with their moms. They see many toys they like. Tom sees a new truck. It can move and make noise. He wants it very much. Mia sees a new doll. It can talk and sing. She wants it very much. + +They ask their moms to buy the toys for them. But their moms say no. The toys are too expensive. The price is too high. They have enough toys at home. Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They cry and whine. + +"Why can't we have the toys?" Tom asks his mom. + +"Because they cost too much money," his mom says. "We have to save money for other things." + +"Like what?" Mia asks her mom. + +"Like food and clothes and books," her mom says. "Those are more important than toys." + +Tom and Mia do not understand. They think toys are important. They think their moms are mean. They do not want to leave the toy store. + +But their moms are firm. They take Tom and Mia by the hand and walk out of the toy store. Tom and Mia still cry and whine. They do not want to go. + +On the way home, they see a man selling ice cream. He has many flavors and colors. He smiles and waves at them. + +"Would you like some ice cream?" he asks. "It is very sweet and cold." + +Tom and Mia stop crying and whining. They look at the ice cream. They like ice cream. They nod and smile. + +Their moms are happy. They buy ice cream for Tom and Mia. They give them a cone each. Tom and Mia lick their ice cream. It is very sweet and cold. They forget about the toys. They are happy again. + +They say thank you to the man and their moms. They hug and kiss them. They share their ice cream with each other. They are friends again. They go home and play with their toys. They have fun. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They find a shiny thing in the dirt. It is silver and round. + +"Look, a coin!" Lily says. "Maybe it is magic." + +"No, it is not a coin. It is a button," Ben says. "It is dirty and old." + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They both want the shiny thing. + +"Give it to me!" Lily says. "I saw it first." + +"No, give it to me!" Ben says. "I know what it is." + +They pull and tug. The shiny thing flies out of their hands and lands in a puddle. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say. They run to the puddle and try to get the shiny thing back. + +But the puddle is deep and muddy. They cannot see the shiny thing anymore. + +They get wet and dirty. They start to cry. + +Mama comes out of the house. She sees Lily and Ben. + +"What happened?" Mama asks. "Why are you crying?" + +Lily and Ben tell Mama about the shiny thing. They both insist that it was theirs. + +Mama shakes her head. She hugs Lily and Ben. + +"It is okay," Mama says. "The shiny thing was not important. You are important. You are my silver treasures." + +Lily and Ben stop crying. They smile and hug Mama back. + +They go inside the house. Mama gives them a bath and a cookie. + +They forget about the shiny thing. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pink temple in the park. It has many doors and windows. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sara says. "Let's go inside and see what is there." + +"OK, but be careful," Ben says. "Maybe there are some scary things inside." + +They run to the temple and try to open a door. But the door is locked. They try another door. It is also locked. They try all the doors, but none of them open. + +"This is no fun," Sara says. "How can we get in?" + +"Maybe we can climb a window," Ben says. He sees a window that is low and open. He jumps and grabs the window sill. He pulls himself up and looks inside. + +"What do you see?" Sara asks. + +Ben sees a big room with many statues and paintings. He sees a shiny gold thing in the middle. He wants to touch it. + +"I see something cool," Ben says. "Come on, I'll help you up." + +He reaches his hand down to Sara. Sara jumps and grabs his hand. He pulls her up and they both go inside the window. + +They walk to the gold thing. It is a big bell with a rope. Ben thinks it will make a loud sound. + +"Let's ring it," Ben says. He pulls the rope. + +The bell makes a very loud sound. It hurts their ears. They cover their ears and scream. + +The sound also wakes up a big dog that was sleeping in a corner. The dog is angry. It barks and runs to them. + +"Uh-oh, a dog!" Sara says. "Run!" + +They run to the window. But the window is too high. They cannot reach it. + +"Help, help!" they cry. + +A man hears their cries. He is the keeper of the temple. He comes to the room and sees the dog and the children. + +"Hey, what are you doing here?" he says. "This is not a place for playing. This is a sacred place. And you rang the bell. That is very bad." + +He grabs the dog and puts it on a leash. He walks to the children and lifts them up. He puts them outside the window. + +"Go away and don't come back," he says. "And don't touch anything that is not yours." + +Sara and Ben are scared and sorry. They run away from the temple. They promise to never go inside again. They learn their lesson. +Lila was a little girl who loved to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big lion. She named him Leo and hugged him every night. She trusted Leo to keep her safe and happy. + +One day, Lila went to the park with her mom and Leo. She saw other children playing with their toys, too. Some had dolls, some had cars, some had balls. Lila wanted to share her lion with them, but they did not want to play with her. They said her lion was scary and ugly. They made fun of her and laughed. + +Lila felt sad and angry. She did not understand why they did not like her lion. She thought he was beautiful and friendly. She looked at their toys and felt envious. She wished she had a doll or a car or a ball. She thought they would like her more if she had those toys. + +She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Lila, you don't need to be envious of other toys. You have a wonderful lion who loves you very much. He is not scary or ugly, he is brave and handsome. He is your special friend, and you are his. You should be proud of him and yourself. You don't need to change who you are or what you like to make others happy. You just need to find friends who accept you and your lion." + +Lila smiled and nodded. She realized her mom was right. She did not need to be envious of other toys. She had a wonderful lion who loved her very much. She trusted him to keep her safe and happy. She hugged him and said, "Thank you, Leo. You are my best friend. I love you." Leo smiled and said, "I love you, too, Lila. You are my best friend. I trust you." They played together in the park and had fun.

They decided to have some fun and play a game with the squash. They rolled it back and forth to each other, laughing and having a good time. + +Suddenly, the squash broke open and all the seeds spilled out.

The dog took the treat gently and ate it. He wagged his tail and barked. + +"Good boy, Rex," Tom said. "He likes you. You're his new friends." + +Jen and Ben smiled. They liked the dog, too. They were not nervous anymore. They were happy. + +"Can we play with him?" Jen asked. + +"Sure, you can," Tom said. "But only if you want to. And only if you share your snack with him. He loves bananas and cookies." + +Jen and Ben laughed. They did not mind sharing their snack with the dog. They had enough for everyone. They took out their snack from their backpacks and gave some to the dog. The dog ate the snack and licked his lips. He was happy, too. + +They played with the dog for a while.

They saw many things: a ball, a book, a hat, a doll, a car. They were happy. They wanted to play with the things. + +"Can we play with the things?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Yes, we can. But we have to be careful. Maybe the basket belongs to someone else." Tom said. + +They took out the things and played with them. They had fun. They threw the ball, read the book, wore the hat, hugged the doll, drove the car. + +After a while, they heard a voice. It was a woman. She was looking for the basket. + +"Where is my basket? I left it under the tree. I have to complete my shopping." She said. + +Lily and Tom heard the woman. They felt sorry. They had taken her things. They quickly put the things back in the basket. They ran to the woman and gave her the basket. + +"Here is your basket, lady. We are sorry. We were curious. We wanted to play with the things." Lily said. + +The woman smiled. She was not angry. She was kind. + +"Thank you, children. You are very honest. You can keep one thing from the basket as a gift. Choose what you like." She said. + +Lily and Tom were surprised. They were grateful. They looked at the basket. They chose one thing each. Lily chose the doll. Tom chose the car. + +"Thank you, lady. You are very generous. We like the things. We will take good care of them." Tom said. + +The woman nodded. She was happy. She completed her shopping. She waved goodbye to Lily and Tom. + +Lily and Tom waved back. They hugged their new things. They went back to playing.

Anna asked. + +"No, Anna, that phone is not for you. It is for grown-ups. It is too expensive." Mom said. + +"But I want the phone, Mom. It is so pretty. Please, Mom, please." Anna said. + +Anna started to cry. She made a loud noise. The people in the shop looked at her. Mom felt bad. + +"Anna, stop crying. I have an idea. Why don't we buy a toy phone for you? It is cheaper and more fun. You can pretend to call your friends and your dad." Mom said. + +Anna stopped crying. She looked at Mom. She saw a toy phone in Mom's hand. It was white, too.

Next time, just look at them and don't touch them," mom says. + +"Okay, mom, we will. Thank you, nurse," Mia says. + +They smile and go back to the park. They play with their ball and their dog. They don't chase any more insects. They have fun. +Lily and Sam like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score.

She says to Sam, "Sam, I am your friend too. But Ben is also my friend. He is nice. He shares the ball with me. We can all play together. It is just a game. The score is not important. The important thing is to have fun." + +Sam thinks about what Lily says. He knows she is right. He says to Lily, "OK, Lily. You are right. The score is not important.

I'm sorry I didn't have a friend before. But now I do. You and Lily are my friends." Sara and Lily hugged him and said, "You are our friend too. We are happy to have you. Let's play together."

He pulled and tugged, but he could not make it fit. He thought it was frustrating. + +After a few minutes, they both wanted their own toys back.

You need to get off the bus and go home. I'll help you find your way." + +He stopped the bus and got off with Lily. He held her hand and walked with her until they saw a police officer. He told the officer what happened and asked him to help Lily find her home. + +The officer nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll find your home and your parents. You're a brave girl, but you shouldn't run away like that. University is not for little kids. It's for big kids who finish school and study hard. Maybe one day you'll go there, but not today." + +He took Lily to his car and drove her home. Lily was still holding the book and crying. She wished she could go to university and see her sister. She didn't understand why she couldn't. She hoped her sister would come back soon and read the book with her. She hoped her parents would not be angry with her. She hoped she would grow up fast and learn new things. +Lily liked to polish her shoes. She had a red pair and a blue pair. She used a soft cloth and some shiny stuff. She made her shoes look new and bright. + +One day, her brother Max came into her room. He saw her shoes on the floor. He was enthusiastic. He wanted to play with them. He picked up the red pair and put them on his feet. They were too small for him, but he did not care. + +"Look at me, Lily!" he said. "I have red shoes like you!" + +Lily was angry. She did not like Max touching her shoes. She tried to take them back, but Max ran away. He ran down the stairs and out the door. He did not see the big puddle in the garden. + +Splash! Max stepped into the puddle. His red shoes got wet and dirty. The shiny stuff came off. The shoes looked old and dull. + +Lily followed him outside. She saw what happened. She was sad. She loved her red shoes. She started to cry. + +Max felt sorry. He did not mean to ruin her shoes. He took them off and gave them to her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I just wanted to be like you. You have nice shoes." + +Lily hugged him. She was still sad, but she forgave him. She knew he was her brother and he loved her. + +"Thank you, Max," she said. "But next time, ask me first. And don't run in puddles." + +They went back inside. Lily tried to polish her shoes again. She hoped they would look new and bright again. Max helped her. He was enthusiastic. He wanted to make her happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they fought over their toys and snacks. One day, their mom gave them a bowl of oat and milk each for breakfast. Lily ate her oat quickly, but Ben was not very hungry. He wanted to save his oat for later. + +"Can I have your oat?" Lily asked Ben, looking at his bowl. + +"No, this is mine. You are selfish. You always want more," Ben said, holding his bowl tightly. + +Lily felt angry and sad. She wanted to have more oat, but she also wanted to be nice to her brother. She did not know what to do. She remembered that her mom taught her to pray when she needed help. She closed her eyes and whispered, "God, please help me and Ben to share and be kind. Thank you. Amen." + +Then she opened her eyes and saw that Ben was looking at her. He seemed to feel sorry for what he said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was selfish too. You can have some of my oat if you want," he said, offering his bowl to her. + +Lily smiled and hugged him. She took a spoonful of his oat and gave him a spoonful of hers. They ate their oat together and thanked God for their food and their family. They learned that praying and sharing made them happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big rock near the slide. It was shiny and smooth. They both wanted to have it. + +"Give me the rock!" Lily said. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. + +They pulled and pushed the rock. They were angry and loud. Then, the rock slipped from their hands and hit Lily's nose. She cried and ran away. Ben felt bad. He did not mean to hurt Lily. + +He picked up the rock and followed Lily. He found her sitting on a bench, holding her nose. She looked miserable. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was mean. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw the rock in his hand. She was still sad, but she did not want to lose her friend. + +"It's okay, Ben," Lily said. "I forgive you. I was mean, too. Can we share the rock?" + +Ben smiled and nodded. He gave Lily the rock. They hugged and said sorry again. Then, they went back to the slide and played with the rock. They were happy and loud. They were best friends. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She made pictures of her family, her dog, and her favorite things. She was very good at drawing and wanted to be a famous artist when she grew up. + +One day, she found a big eraser on her teacher's desk. She thought it was a toy and took it to her seat. She tried to erase some of her drawings, but they did not go away. Instead, they became smudgy and messy. Lily was sad and angry. She did not like her pictures anymore. + +She started to yell at the eraser. She said, "You are a bad eraser! You ruined my drawings! I don't want you anymore!" She threw the eraser on the floor and stomped on it. + +The teacher heard Lily's yell and came to see what was wrong. She saw the eraser on the floor and the smudgy drawings on Lily's paper. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, why did you take my eraser? That is not a toy. That is for pencils, not crayons. You should not yell or throw things in the classroom. That is not nice." + +Lily felt sorry. She did not know the eraser was for pencils. She did not mean to be bad. She said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I wanted to make my drawings better, but the eraser made them worse. I was mad at the eraser, not at you. Can I have a new paper, please?" + +The teacher smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You can have a new paper, but next time, please ask before you use something that is not yours. And remember, your drawings are beautiful just the way they are. You don't need to erase them. You are a famous artist in my eyes." +Mia likes to dig in the dirt. She finds many rocks and stones. Some are big, some are small, some are shiny, some are dull. She puts them in a bucket and shows them to her mom. + +Mom says, "Wow, Mia, you have many rocks. Some of them are minerals. Minerals are special kinds of rocks that have different colors and shapes. Some minerals are rare. That means there are not many of them in the world." + +Mia says, "I like minerals. They are pretty and fun. Can I keep them?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can keep them. But you have to be careful with them. Do not break them or destroy them. Destroy means to make something go away or stop being good. If you destroy a mineral, you cannot make it again. It is gone forever." + +Mia says, "I will not destroy them. I will be gentle and nice. I will put them in a box and keep them safe." + +Mom says, "That is a good idea, Mia. You are a good mineral collector. Maybe one day you can learn more about them and share them with others." + +Mia says, "Yes, mom. I love minerals. They are my treasure." +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Lily had a big red block that she wanted to use for the roof of her house. But Ben saw the red block and grabbed it. + +"Mine!" he shouted. "I want the red block!" + +"No, mine!" Lily shouted back. "I saw it first!" + +They pulled and tugged on the block, but neither of them would let go. They got angry and started to yell. Then Ben got so mad that he hit Lily with the block. He struck her on the head. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. "That hurts!" + +She dropped the block and held her head. She felt something wet on her hand. It was blood. She had a cut on her head from the block. She started to cry louder. + +"Mommy! Mommy!" she called. + +Mommy heard the noise and came running. She saw Lily crying and bleeding and Ben holding the block. She was very upset. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +"Ben hit me with the block!" Lily said. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" Mommy asked. + +"He took my block!" Ben said. + +Mommy shook her head. She took the block from Ben and put it away. She picked up Lily and took her to the bathroom. She cleaned her wound and put a band-aid on it. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" she asked. + +"It still hurts, Mommy," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, sweetie. Ben was very naughty. He shouldn't have hit you with the block. He broke your skin and made you bleed. That's not how we treat our sister. He needs to say sorry and be gentle with you." + +Mommy took Lily back to the playroom. She made Ben look at Lily's band-aid. + +"Ben, do you see what you did to your sister?" she asked. + +Ben nodded. He felt bad. He didn't mean to hurt Lily. He just wanted the red block. + +"Ben, you need to say sorry to Lily. And you need to give her a hug and a kiss. And you need to share your blocks with her. Can you do that?" Mommy asked. + +Ben nodded again. He walked over to Lily and said, "Sorry, Lily. I'm sorry I hit you with the block. I love you, sister." + +He gave her a hug and a kiss. Lily smiled and hugged him back. She said, "I love you, too, Ben. It's okay. You can have the red block." + +They smiled and played with their blocks again. They built a house together, with a red roof. Mommy watched them and smiled, too. She was glad they made up. She hoped they would be nice to each other from now on. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make pasta with play-doh. They had a big pot, a spoon, and a rolling pin. They also had a toy camera that could record what they did. + +"Let's record our cooking show!" Lily said. She held the camera and pointed it at Ben. "Hello, I'm Lily and this is my brother Ben. Today we are making pasta with cheese and tomato sauce. Right, Ben?" + +"Right, Lily!" Ben said. He rolled the play-doh into a long snake and then cut it into small pieces. "These are the noodles. They are very yummy and easy to make. Watch me put them in the pot." + +Lily moved the camera closer to the pot. She wanted to record how Ben cooked the noodles. But she did not see that the stove was on. The pot was hot and it started to make a hissing sound. + +"Uh-oh, what's that?" Lily asked. She felt scared. She did not know that the pot was real and not a toy. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben shouted. He touched the pot and burned his hand. He dropped the spoon and the play-doh. He ran to the sink and put his hand under the water. + +Lily dropped the camera and ran to Ben. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know the pot was hot. Are you okay?" + +Ben nodded. He felt better with the water and Lily's hug. He said, "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. But we should be more careful next time. And maybe we should not play with the stove." + +Lily agreed. She said, "Yes, we should not play with the stove. And maybe we should ask Mommy to help us make real pasta. I'm hungry." + +Ben smiled. He said, "Me too. Let's go find Mommy and tell her what happened. And maybe we can watch our cooking show later. I bet it's funny." + +They left the kitchen and went to look for Mommy. They hoped she would not be mad at them. They learned a lesson and they still loved each other. And they still loved pasta. +Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Anna counts to ten and then looks for Ben. + +She sees a big tree with a hole in it. She thinks Ben might be hiding there. She walks to the tree and peeks inside the hole. She sees a shiny nail sticking out of the wood. She is curious and wants to touch it. + +"Ouch!" she cries out as the nail pricks her finger. She feels a drop of blood on her skin. She is scared and hurt. She runs away from the tree and looks for Ben. + +Ben hears Anna's cry and comes out of his hiding spot. He sees Anna's finger bleeding and feels sorry for her. He runs to her and hugs her. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. Are you okay?" he asks. + +"It hurts, Ben. The nail was cold and sharp. It made me bleed," Anna says. + +"Let me see. I have a band-aid in my pocket. I can put it on your finger. It will make it better," Ben says. + +He takes out a band-aid and wraps it around Anna's finger. He kisses it gently and smiles at her. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I feel better now," Anna says. + +They hug each other and decide to play something else. They are happy and forget about the nail. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big cooler that they filled with water and ice. They used it to splash each other and their toys. They had fun in the sun. + +But their mom did not like it. She said they were making a mess and wasting water. She told them to stop and come inside. She said they had to bathe and get clean. Lily and Ben did not want to bathe. They wanted to play more. + +They ran away from their mom and hid behind the cooler. They whispered to each other. + +"Let's stay here until mom goes away," Lily said. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet," Ben said. + +They waited and waited. But their mom did not go away. She looked for them and found them. She was very upset. She grabbed them by their arms and dragged them to the bathroom. She turned on the shower and pushed them in. The water was cold and hard. It hurt their skin and eyes. They cried and screamed. + +"Mom, stop! We don't like it!" Lily said. + +"Too bad! You have to bathe and learn your lesson!" Mom said. + +She did not listen to them. She washed them with soap and shampoo. She scrubbed them hard. They felt sad and angry. They did not have fun anymore. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had not played with the cooler. They wished they had a good ending. +Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had many shiny things inside. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara said. She picked up a pair of scissors. "We can cut paper and make shapes." + +"Can I try?" Ben asked. He reached for the scissors. + +"Okay, but be careful. They are sharp. And you have to promise to give them back to me." Sara said. + +"I promise." Ben said. He took the scissors and cut a piece of paper. He made a star. + +Sara smiled. She cut another piece of paper. She made a heart. + +They cut and cut and cut. They made many shapes. They had fun. + +But then, Sara saw something that made her sad. Ben had cut her favorite doll's hair. It was short and messy. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Sara cried. "You cut my doll's hair. You broke your promise. You are a bad friend." + +Ben looked at the doll. He felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Sara. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I did not know it was your favorite doll. I just wanted to make her look different. Please don't be mad at me." Ben said. + +Sara was still sad. She loved her doll. She did not want her to look different. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. + +She took the scissors and the paper and ran away. She left Ben alone with the doll and the box. + +Ben felt sad too. He wanted to make Sara happy. He wanted to be her friend again. + +He looked at the doll. He had an idea. + +He took some paper and cut it. He made a wig. He put it on the doll's head. He made her look like before. + +He ran after Sara. He found her in the garden. She was sitting on a swing. + +"Sara, Sara, look!" Ben said. He showed her the doll. "I fixed her. I made her a wig. She is pretty again." + +Sara looked at the doll. She saw the wig. She touched it. It was soft and colorful. + +She looked at Ben. She saw his smile. He was sorry. He was nice. + +She smiled too. She took the doll. She hugged it. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I was mad at you." Sara said. + +Ben hugged Sara. He was happy. He had a friend again. + +They played with the doll and the paper. They made more shapes. They had fun. + +They kept their promise. They shared the scissors. They were best friends. +Tom was very miserable. He had to go to a new school and he did not know anyone. He did not like the big building, the loud noises and the strange language. He missed his old friends and his old teacher. + +On his first day, he sat in a corner and cried. He did not want to play with the other kids or learn new things. He just wanted to go home. + +A girl named Mia saw him and felt sorry for him. She walked over to him and said, "Hi, I am Mia. What is your name?" + +Tom looked up and saw her smiling face. He wiped his tears and said, "I am Tom. I am new here." + +Mia nodded and said, "I know. I was new here too, last year. It is hard at first, but it gets better. You will make new friends and learn new language. It is fun, trust me." + +Tom felt a little curious. He asked, "How did you learn new language? It sounds so different." + +Mia said, "I listened and watched and practiced. The teacher and the other kids helped me. They were very nice. Do you want me to help you too?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mia." + +Mia smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tom. Come on, let's go and join the others. They are playing a game. It is easy and fun. You will like it." + +Tom felt a little brave. He took Mia's hand and followed her. He decided to give the new school a chance. He felt a little less miserable and a little more relaxed. He hoped he would make more friends and learn more language. He thought Mia was very kind and friendly. He was glad he met her. +Anna liked jazz music. She liked to hear the big horns and the fast drums. She liked to dance and clap with the jazz music. She had a jazz CD that her dad gave her. She played it every day in her room. + +One day, Anna wanted to share her jazz music with her friends. She took her CD and her player to the park. She found a big tree and put her player under it. She turned on the jazz music and spread a blanket on the grass. She invited her friends to sit and listen with her. + +But not all her friends liked jazz music. Some of them said it was too loud and too strange. They wanted to listen to other music. They wanted to play other games. They started to argue with Anna and each other. + +"Jazz music is the best music!" Anna said. "It makes me happy and free. You should try it!" + +"Jazz music is the worst music!" Ben said. "It hurts my ears and makes me dizzy. You should turn it off!" + +"Jazz music is just ordinary music!" Lily said. "It is nothing special or fun. You should play something else!" + +Anna felt sad and angry. She did not understand why her friends did not like her jazz music. She did not want to turn it off or play something else. She wanted to enjoy her jazz music with her friends. + +She looked at her CD and her player. She looked at her blanket and her friends. She had an idea. She smiled and said: + +"Why don't we all try something new? Why don't we make our own jazz music? We can use our voices and our hands and our feet. We can make loud and fast and strange sounds. We can dance and clap and laugh. We can have fun with jazz music!" + +Her friends looked at her. They looked at each other. They thought about it. They decided to give it a try. They joined Anna on the blanket. They started to make their own jazz music. They sang and tapped and stomped. They danced and clapped and laughed. They had fun with jazz music. + +Anna was happy. She was happy to share her jazz music with her friends. She was happy to make her own jazz music with her friends. She was happy to have fun with her friends. She learned that jazz music was not too loud or too strange or too ordinary. It was just music. And music was for everyone. +Tim and Sue were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to build things with their blocks and pretend they were castles or spaceships. Tim had a big cube that he found in the garage. He did not know what it was, but it was shiny and had buttons on it. + +"Look, Sue, I have a magic cube!" Tim said, holding it up. "It can do anything I want. Watch this!" He pressed a button and the cube made a loud beep. + +Sue was curious. She wanted to see the cube too. She walked over to Tim and reached for it. "Can I play with it, Tim? Please?" + +Tim did not want to share. He liked the cube too much. He pulled it away from Sue and said, "No, it's mine! Go away, Sue! You can't have it!" + +Sue felt sad and angry. She did not like Tim being mean to her. She wanted to make him sorry. She saw a stick on the floor and picked it up. She swung it at Tim and hit him on the head. + +Tim cried out in pain and dropped the cube. The cube fell on the floor and broke open. Inside, there was a red light and a wire. The light started to blink faster and faster. The wire sparked and made a hissing sound. + +Tim and Sue did not know what it was, but they felt scared. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The cube was not a toy. It was a bomb. It exploded and made a big fire. Tim and Sue were hurt by the fire. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. The cube was not harmless. It was very bad. +Lily and Tom were playing in the attic. They liked to find old things and make up stories about them. Lily saw a big box with a shiny lock. She wanted to open it and see what was inside. + +"Tom, look at this box! Maybe it has treasure or toys or books!" she said. + +Tom came over and looked at the box. He saw a cobweb on the lock. He was not afraid of spiders, but he did not like cobwebs. They were sticky and dusty. + +"Yuck, a cobweb! Let me poke it with this stick and get it off," he said. + +He picked up a stick and poked the cobweb. But the stick was not strong enough. It broke and made a loud noise. The noise scared a big spider that was hiding in the cobweb. The spider ran out and crawled on Tom's hand. + +"Ah, a spider! Get it off, get it off!" Tom screamed. + +Lily saw the spider and laughed. She was not scared of spiders, but she liked to tease Tom. She grabbed the spider and put it on her head. + +"Look, Tom, I have a spider hat! Do you want one too?" she said. + +Tom shook his head and ran away. He did not like spiders or spider hats. He wanted to find another box to play with. + +Lily followed him and tried to put the spider on his shoulder. She thought it was funny and wanted to make him laugh. + +"Come on, Tom, don't be silly. It's just a spider. It won't hurt you. It's a happy spider. See, it's smiling!" she said. + +Tom looked at the spider and saw that it had eight eyes and a big mouth. He did not think it was smiling. He thought it was scary and mean. + +"No, Lily, it's not a happy spider. It's a scary spider. It wants to bite me and make me sick. Please, take it away!" he said. + +Lily saw that Tom was really scared and not playing. She felt sorry for him and took the spider off her head. She put it back in the cobweb and said sorry to Tom. + +"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Tom. I was just joking. I didn't mean to scare you. Here, let me hug you and make you feel better," she said. + +She hugged Tom and he hugged her back. He felt better and said sorry to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was just afraid. I don't like spiders or cobwebs. But I like you. You're my best friend," he said. + +They smiled and hugged again. They were happy and forgot about the spider and the cobweb. They decided to open the box and see what was inside. Maybe it had treasure or toys or books. They hoped it did not have more spiders. +Anna and Ben were at the bakery with their mom. They saw many yummy things to eat. Mom said they could each pick one pastry to take home. + +Anna liked the pink pastry with sprinkles. She said, "I want this one, Mom. It is pretty and sweet." + +Ben liked the brown pastry with nuts. He said, "I want this one, Mom. It is crunchy and nutty." + +But Mom said, "No, Ben. You cannot have that one. You are allergic to nuts. They make you sick. Pick another pastry, please." + +Ben was stubborn. He did not want another pastry. He wanted the brown pastry with nuts. He said, "No, Mom. I want this one. It is mine." + +Mom was angry. She said, "Ben, stop being stubborn. You have to listen to me. If you eat that pastry, you will have a rash and a tummy ache. Do you want that?" + +Ben did not answer. He grabbed the brown pastry with nuts and ran away. Mom and Anna chased him. They tried to take the pastry from him. But Ben was faster. He bit the pastry and swallowed it. + +Soon, Ben felt bad. His mouth was itchy. His tummy was sore. He cried and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was stubborn. I should have listened to you. The pastry was not yummy. It was yucky." + +Mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to be careful. Next time, pick a pastry that is safe for you. There are many other yummy things to eat." + +Anna gave him a piece of her pink pastry with sprinkles. She said, "Here, Ben. Try this one. It is pretty and sweet. And it does not have nuts." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister. I like your pastry. It is yummy." + +They all went home and ate their pastries. Mom gave Ben some medicine to make him feel better. They learned a lesson. They had to pick wisely and not be stubborn. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a big tree with a birdhouse on it. Sometimes they saw birds fly in and out of the birdhouse. + +One day, Ben and Lily were playing in the sandbox. They were making castles and roads with their shovels and buckets. Ben made a big castle with a flag on top. He was very proud of his castle. Lily made a small castle with a flower on top. She was not very happy with her castle. She looked at Ben's castle and felt envious. She wanted a big castle with a flag too. + +Lily decided to take Ben's flag and put it on her castle. She thought Ben would not notice. She sneaked over to Ben's castle and grabbed the flag. But Ben saw her and got angry. He shouted, "Hey, that's my flag! Give it back!" He ran after Lily and tried to get his flag back. + +Lily ran away with the flag. She did not want to give it back. She ran to the swing and climbed on it. She held the flag in her hand and swung high in the air. She thought she was safe. But Ben did not give up. He ran to the swing and waited for Lily to come down. When Lily swung down, Ben reached out and tried to grab the flag. But he missed and hit Lily's arm instead. He struck Lily hard and made her cry. + +Lily dropped the flag and fell off the swing. She hurt her arm and her head. She cried louder and louder. Ben felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to strike Lily. He just wanted his flag back. He picked up the flag and ran to Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. Here, you can have the flag. Are you okay?" + +Lily stopped crying and looked at Ben. She saw his sorry face and his flag. She felt sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I shouldn't have taken your flag. It was not nice. Thank you for giving it back. I'm okay. Are you okay?" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "I'm okay. You're welcome. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily nodded and smiled too. She said, "Yes, I want to play with you. You're my twin and my friend." + +Ben and Lily hugged and made up. They decided to share the flag and the castles. They played happily in the sandbox until the end of the day. They learned to be nice and not envious. They also learned to say sorry and forgive. They were good twins and good friends. +Sara was a curious girl who liked to ask questions. She wanted to know everything about the world. One day, she saw a lamp in her room that she had never seen before. It was big and shiny and had a funny shape. + +"Mommy, what is this?" she asked, pointing to the lamp. + +"That is a lamp, Sara. It makes light when you turn it on," Mommy said. + +"How do you turn it on?" Sara asked. + +"Guess," Mommy said, smiling. + +Sara looked at the lamp and saw a button on the base. She pressed it, but nothing happened. + +"No, that's not it," Mommy said. + +Sara looked again and saw a cord that went from the lamp to the wall. She followed it and found a switch on the wall. She flipped it, but still nothing happened. + +"No, that's not it either," Mommy said. + +Sara was puzzled. She looked at the lamp one more time and saw a knob on the side of the shade. She twisted it, and suddenly the lamp lit up with a bright and warm light. + +"Yay, you did it!" Mommy said, clapping her hands. "You found the right way to turn on the lamp." + +Sara was happy and proud. She had guessed the answer by herself. She liked the lamp and its light. She wondered what else she could learn by guessing. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. Tom has a motorcycle toy. Sam has a ruler. Sam wants to measure how long Tom's motorcycle is. + +"Can I measure your motorcycle?" Sam asks Tom. + +"No, it is mine. Go away!" Tom says. He is angry. He does not want to share his toy. + +Sam is sad. He does not have a motorcycle toy. He likes to measure things. He thinks Tom is mean. + +He sees a big motorcycle in the street. It belongs to their neighbor, Mr. Lee. Sam has an idea. He runs to the motorcycle. He takes his ruler. He starts to measure the motorcycle. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mr. Lee shouts. He sees Sam touching his motorcycle. He is angry. He does not like children messing with his motorcycle. + +Sam is scared. He drops his ruler. He runs back to his house. He cries. + +Tom hears Sam crying. He feels sorry for him. He remembers that Sam is his brother. He loves him. + +He goes to Sam.

He thanks him. + +They play together with the motorcycle and the ruler. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the pool with their water guns. They liked to spray each other and make funny noises. They pretended they were pirates and sharks, and chased each other around the pool. + +"Arrr, I'm a pirate and you're a shark!" Tom said, spraying Lily with his water gun. + +"No, I'm a pirate and you're a shark!" Lily said, spraying Tom back. + +They laughed and splashed, having fun in the water. + +But then, Tom saw a big toy shark floating in the pool. He wanted to play with it, and he grabbed it from the water. He held it in his arms and sprayed Lily with the shark's mouth. + +"Look, I have a shark and you don't!" Tom said, smiling. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with the shark too, but Tom wouldn't share. She tried to take the shark from Tom, but he pushed her away. + +"Hey, that's not fair! Give me the shark!" Lily said, frustrated. + +"No, it's mine! Go away!" Tom said, holding the shark tighter. + +They started to fight over the shark, pulling and tugging. They forgot to have fun, and they made each other cry. + +Their mom heard them and came to the pool. She saw them fighting and scolded them. + +"Stop it, both of you! Why are you fighting over a toy? You should share and play nicely, not be selfish and mean. How would you feel if someone took your toy and wouldn't let you play with it?" she said, taking the shark from them. + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they were wrong, and they apologized to each other. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I shouldn't have tried to take the shark from you. Can we share and play together?" Lily said, hugging Tom. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I shouldn't have kept the shark from you. Of course we can share and play together. You're my sister and I love you." Tom said, hugging Lily back. + +They gave the shark to their mom and asked her to put it back in the pool. Then they picked up their water guns and sprayed each other again, laughing and having fun. + +They learned that sharing is caring, and that fighting is not fun. They were happy to be pirates and sharks, and to be friends. +Lily was a clever girl who liked to read books and learn new things. She had many friends at school, but she did not like to visit her old grandma. She thought grandma was boring and slow, and only talked about the past. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, we are going to visit grandma today. She is not feeling well and she misses you. Please be nice and listen to her stories." + +Lily did not want to go, but she did not say no. She packed a book in her bag and hoped to read it quietly at grandma's house. She did not think grandma would notice or care. + +When they arrived, grandma was happy to see them. She hugged Lily and said, "Thank you for coming, my dear. I have something special for you. Come, sit with me and I will show you." + +Lily followed grandma to the living room, where there was a big box on the table. Grandma opened it and took out a beautiful quilt. It was made of many colorful patches, each with a different pattern and shape. + +"Look, Lily, this is the quilt I made for you. Each patch tells a story of my life. This one is from the dress I wore when I met your grandpa. This one is from the shirt you wore when you were a baby. This one is from the flag I waved when we celebrated the end of the war. And so on. Do you want to hear the stories?" + +Lily was amazed by the quilt and the stories. She forgot about her book and listened to grandma with curiosity and wonder. She realized that grandma was not boring and slow, but wise and brave. She had lived through many things and learned many lessons. She had a lot to teach Lily and to share with her. + +Lily hugged grandma and said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I was wrong. You are not boring, you are amazing. I love you and your quilt. Thank you for making it for me. Can you tell me more stories?" + +Grandma smiled and said, "Of course, my dear. I'm glad you like it. And I'm proud of you. You are a clever girl, but you are also a kind girl. You learned to appreciate and respect your elders. That is a very important value. Come, let's cuddle under the quilt and I will tell you more stories." + +Lily and grandma spent a happy afternoon together, talking and laughing and learning. Lily felt warm and cozy under the quilt, and she felt closer to grandma than ever. She decided to visit her more often and to listen to her stories. She knew that grandma loved her and that she had a lot to offer. She also knew that she had a lot to offer to grandma, too. She had her own stories and dreams and questions. She had her own cleverness and kindness. She had her own patch to add to the quilt. +Tom and Lily were playing outside in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big puddle and wanted to splash in it. But their mom said, "No, you will get wet and dirty. Come and nap with me under the tree. It is hot and you are tired." + +Tom and Lily did not want to nap. They wanted to have fun. They waited until their mom closed her eyes and then they ran to the puddle. They kicked and threw water at each other. They laughed and screamed. They did not see the friendly dog that came to join them. + +The dog liked the puddle too. He jumped and barked and shook his fur. He splashed water on Tom and Lily and their mom. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. He wanted to play with them. + +Tom and Lily were scared of the dog. They cried and ran to their mom. Their mom was wet and angry. She said, "Why did you disobey me? You are soaked and muddy. And you disturbed the dog and his owner. That was not nice. You should say sorry and nap now." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said sorry to the dog and his owner. They said sorry to their mom. They hugged and kissed her. They napped with her under the tree. They learned to listen to their mom and to be kind to animals. They dreamed of playing with the friendly dog again. +Lisa loved to look at photos of her family. She had a big book with many photos in her room. She liked to hold the book and turn the pages. She saw photos of her mom, her dad, her brother, her grandma, and her dog. + +One day, she wanted to show her friend Anna her photos. She took the book and went to Anna's house. She knocked on the door and Anna's mom opened it. + +"Hello, Lisa. What do you have there?" Anna's mom asked. + +"It's my photo book. Can I show Anna?" Lisa said. + +"Of course, dear. Come in. Anna is in her room. She will be happy to see you." Anna's mom said. + +Lisa went to Anna's room and found her playing with her dolls. She said hello and put the book on the floor. + +"Look, Anna. This is my photo book. It has photos of my family. Do you want to see?" Lisa said. + +"Yes, please. I like photos." Anna said. + +They sat on the floor and opened the book. Lisa pointed to each photo and told Anna who they were. Anna listened and asked questions. + +"Who is this?" Anna asked, pointing to a photo of a dog. + +"That's Max. He's my dog. He's very obedient. He can sit, stay, and fetch. He likes to play with me and my brother." Lisa said. + +"He's cute. Can I hold him?" Anna asked. + +"Sure. You can hold him when you come to my house. He's very friendly. He likes to lick and wag his tail." Lisa said. + +They looked at more photos and talked. They had fun and learned more about each other's families. They were good friends. +Lila and her dog Spot were playing in the park. They liked to run and chase each other on the grass. Spot was a loyal dog. He always followed Lila and protected her from strangers. + +One day, a lady came to the park with a big purse. She put it on a bench and went to talk to a friend. Spot saw the purse and was curious. He sniffed it and found a bone inside. He wanted to eat the bone, so he grabbed the purse with his teeth and ran away. + +"Hey, stop! That's my purse!" the lady shouted. She ran after Spot, but he was too fast. Lila saw what happened and was scared. She did not want Spot to get in trouble. She called his name and raised her hand. + +"Spot, come here! Drop the purse! Bad dog!" Lila said. + +Spot heard Lila and looked at her. He loved Lila and wanted to make her happy. He dropped the purse and ran to her. He licked her face and wagged his tail. + +"I'm sorry, lady. Spot did not mean to take your purse. He just liked the bone. Please don't be mad at him," Lila said. + +The lady came to Lila and Spot. She was angry at first, but then she saw how cute and loyal Spot was. She smiled and gave him the bone. + +"It's okay, little girl. I forgive your dog. He is a good dog, but he needs to learn not to take things that are not his. Here, you can have the bone. But next time, be more careful, okay?" the lady said. + +Lila thanked the lady and hugged Spot. She was happy that the lady was nice and that Spot was safe. She learned a lesson and promised to watch Spot more closely. She and Spot played with the bone and had fun. They were best friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the dark. They had a flashlight that they shared, but sometimes they fought over it. One night, they wanted to explore the basement, but they only had one flashlight. + +"I want the flashlight!" Tom said. + +"No, I want it!" Lily said. + +They pulled and pulled on the flashlight, but it was too hard. The flashlight split in two and stopped working. Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They could not see anything in the dark basement. + +They heard a noise and hugged each other. They wished they had not fought over the flashlight. They wished they had shared it and played nicely. + +"Tom, Lily, are you there?" They heard their mom's voice. She had another flashlight and came to find them. She saw the broken flashlight and the scared twins. + +"What happened?" She asked. + +"We broke the flashlight, mom. We were fighting over it." Tom said. + +"We're sorry, mom. We were silly." Lily said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you're fine. But you should learn to share and be kind to each other. Fighting over things can hurt you and break things. Sharing and being kind can make you happy and keep things whole." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We will share and be kind from now on." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, my loves. Now let's go upstairs and have some cookies. And maybe we can fix the flashlight later." + +Tom and Lily smiled and followed mom. They held each other's hand and said, "We love you, mom. And we love each other too." +Tom liked to add things. He added blocks to make towers. He added stickers to make pictures. He added water to make bubbles. He added words to make stories. But he did not like to add friends. + +One day, he went to the zoo with his mom. He saw many animals. He saw lions and monkeys and bears and birds. He liked them all. But he liked one animal the most. He liked the seal. + +The seal was big and gray and shiny. It had a round nose and whiskers. It could swim and jump and clap. It made funny noises. Tom wanted to play with the seal. He asked his mom if he could go inside the pool. + +"No, Tom, you can't," his mom said. "The pool is for the seal, not for you. You can watch from here." + +Tom was sad. He wanted to add the seal to his things. He wanted to make the seal his friend. He did not care about the other kids who were watching too. He did not want to share the seal. + +He watched the seal for a long time. He saw the seal do tricks and get fish. He saw the seal smile and wave. He saw the seal look at him. Tom smiled and waved back. He thought the seal liked him too. + +But then, something happened. Another seal came into the pool. It was smaller and darker and had spots. It swam to the first seal and nuzzled it. It made happy noises. The first seal nuzzled back. It made happy noises too. The two seals played together. They forgot about Tom. + +Tom was angry. He did not like the other seal. He did not want to add the other seal to his things. He wanted to take it away. He wanted the first seal to play with him only. He felt miserable. + +He stomped his feet and cried. He shouted at the seals. He threw his hat into the pool. He did not listen to his mom who tried to calm him down. He did not see the zookeeper who came to get his hat. He did not hear the other kids who laughed at him. He only saw the seals who ignored him. + +Tom learned a hard lesson that day. He learned that he could not add everything to his things. He learned that some things belonged to others. He learned that some things were better shared. He learned that adding friends was more fun than adding things. He learned that being miserable was not fun at all. +Tom and Mia like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They make noises and pretend they are driving fast. One day, they find a new toy in the garage. It is a big red missile. It has a button on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "It is a rocket. Maybe it can fly." + +"Let me see!" Mia says. She grabs the missile and pushes the button. The missile makes a loud sound and starts to move. It rushes out of the garage and into the street. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Mia say. They run after the missile. They are scared. They hope it does not hit anything or anyone. + +The missile zooms past cars and people. It goes very fast. It is heading for a big tree. Tom and Mia think it will crash and break. They are sad. + +But then, something happens. A bird flies by and sees the missile. The bird thinks it is a worm. The bird swoops down and catches the missile in its beak. The bird flies away with the missile. + +Tom and Mia stop and stare. They cannot believe it. They are surprised and happy. + +"Wow, that was lucky!" Tom says. + +"Very lucky!" Mia says. "But where is our rocket now?" + +They look up and see the bird flying high in the sky with the missile. They wave and say goodbye to their rocket. They hope the bird likes it. They go back to the garage and play with their other toys. They are still friends. +Tom was a farmer who had a lovely farm. He had cows, pigs, chickens and sheep.

Tom could not catch him. He lost his sack. + +Tom cried and cried. He did not know what to do. He loved his sack. It had his money and his tools and his seeds. He needed them for his farm. Without them, he could not buy food or fix things or plant crops. He felt very poor and unhappy. + +The bad man did not care about Tom. He only cared about himself. He opened the sack and smiled. He thought he was rich and lucky. But he was wrong. The sack had a hole in it. As he drove away, the money and the tools and the seeds fell out of the sack. They scattered on the road and in the fields. He did not notice. He was too busy looking at the sack. + +The end. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see a big barn.

They look for help. + +They see a farmer. The farmer has a gun. He sees the lion. He shoots the lion. The lion falls down. The lion is dead. The animals are safe. Tom and Jen are happy. + +The farmer is nice. He gives Tom and Jen some cookies. He tells them to be careful. He says the lion escaped from the zoo. He says the zoo will come and take the lion away. + +Tom and Jen say thank you to the farmer. They say goodbye to the animals. They go back to their homes. They tell their moms and dads about the barn and the lion. They say it was a big adventure. They say they are brave. They end their story with a hug. +Lily was a child who loved to whistle. She whistled when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She whistled all kinds of songs, from happy to sad, from fast to slow, from loud to soft. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. The park was busy with many people and animals. Lily saw dogs, birds, squirrels, and flowers. She whistled to them and they whistled back. She felt happy and made many friends. + +But not everyone liked her whistling. A boy named Ben was playing with his ball near the slide. He did not like noise and wanted to be alone. He heard Lily whistling and felt angry. He walked up to her and said, "Stop whistling! You are too loud and annoying!" + +Lily was surprised and sad. She did not mean to bother anyone. She said, "I'm sorry, I just like to whistle. It makes me happy and the animals like it too. Why don't you like it?" + +Ben said, "I don't like it because it hurts my ears and distracts me from my game. You should be quiet and play something else." + +Lily did not agree. She said, "But whistling is fun and easy. You can try it too. Maybe you will like it and feel happy." + +Ben shook his head. He said, "No, I can't whistle. I tried before and I couldn't. It's too hard and silly." + +Lily smiled. She said, "It's not hard or silly. It's simple and fun. I can teach you how to whistle. Just pucker your lips and blow. Like this." She whistled a short tune. + +Ben looked curious. He said, "Really? That's all? Can I try?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Sure, you can try. Just follow me. Like this." She whistled again and Ben copied her. + +At first, Ben could not make any sound. He felt frustrated and wanted to give up. But Lily encouraged him and said, "Don't worry, you can do it. Just keep trying and you will get it. It's okay to make mistakes. That's how you learn." + +Ben listened to her and tried again. He blew harder and made a small sound. He felt surprised and happy. He said, "Hey, I did it! I whistled!" + +Lily clapped and said, "Yes, you did! You whistled! Good job! Do you want to try more?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I do! This is fun! Can you teach me more songs?" + +Lily said, "Of course, I can! I know many songs. Let's whistle together and have fun!" + +They whistled and played and laughed. They forgot about their differences and became friends. They learned that whistling was a simple and fun way to express themselves and connect with others. They also learned to respect and appreciate each other's hobbies and feelings. They had a great time at the park and whistled all the way home. +Sam and Lily liked to play near the creek. They made boats from leaves and sticks and watched them float on the water. Sometimes they saw fish and frogs and birds. They had fun together. + +One day, they found an enormous log by the creek. It was bigger than their house. They thought it would be a good boat. They climbed on top of it and pretended to be pirates. They shouted and sang and waved their sticks. + +"Ahoy, matey! Where are we sailing to?" Sam asked Lily. + +"To the treasure island, of course!" Lily answered. "We have to find the gold and jewels and serve them to the king!" + +They laughed and played some more. But they did not see that the log was moving. The water was pushing it downstream. It was going faster and faster. They did not hear the roar of the waterfall ahead. + +Suddenly, they felt the log tilt and drop. They screamed and held on tight. But it was too late. The log and the children plunged over the edge and disappeared into the foam. They never saw the treasure island or the king. They never played near the creek again. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a red collar. + +"Look, a dog!" Sara says. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is not friendly." + +They go closer to the dog. The dog wags its tail. It looks happy. Sara and Ben smile. + +"Hello, dog," Sara says. She puts her hand on the dog's head. The dog licks her hand. + +"Hi, dog," Ben says. He puts his hand on the dog's shoulder. The dog nuzzles his hand. + +The dog is very soft and warm. Sara and Ben like the dog. They start to hug the dog. The dog hugs them back. + +They hear a voice. "Fido, come here!" + +They look up. A man is walking towards them. He has a leash in his hand. + +"Is this your dog?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, he is," the man says. "He is very friendly, but he likes to run away sometimes. I'm sorry if he bothered you." + +"He didn't bother us," Ben says. "He is very nice. We like him." + +The man smiles. "I'm glad you like him. He likes you too. What are your names?" + +"I'm Sara," Sara says. + +"I'm Ben," Ben says. + +"I'm Tom," the man says.

Lily picks it up and says, "Look, Ben, this block has a number. It is six. Do you know what six is?" + +Ben shakes his head. He does not know what six is. He only knows one, two, and three. He says, "No, Lily, I don't know what six is. What is it?" + +Lily says, "Six is more than three. It is like three and three together. See, you can make six with these blocks." She shows him how to put three blocks on one side and three blocks on the other side. She says, "This is six. Can you say six?" + +Ben tries to say six, but he says it wrong. He says, "Sick." Lily laughs and says, "No, Ben, not sick. Six. Six is a number, not a word. Sick is a word. It means you are not well. You are well, right?" + +Ben nods. He is well. He does not feel sick. He says, "Yes, Lily, I am well. I am not sick. I am sorry, I said it wrong. Six. Six. Six." He repeats the number until he gets it right. + +Lily smiles and says, "Good, Ben, you got it. Now, do you want to make a chain with the number block?" + +Ben says, "Yes, Lily, I do. Let's make a chain with the number block. It will be fun." + +They start to make a chain with the blocks. They use the number block as the first block. They add more blocks of different colors and shapes. They make a long and colorful chain. + +They are happy with their chain. They hold it up and say, "Look, we made a chain with the number block. It is a nice chain. We are good at making chains." + +They decide to show their chain to their mom. They run to the kitchen, where their mom is making lemonade. They say, "Mom, mom, look at our chain. We made it with the number block. It is a nice chain.

It helps you learn numbers. Do you know what number it is?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, mom, we know. It is six. Six is a number. It is more than three. It is like three and three together. We can say six. Six. Six." + +Their mom says, "Very good, Lily and Ben. You are smart. You can say six. Six is a good number. Do you want to try some lemonade? It is sour, but it is good.

Then suddenly, a chill ran down Sally's spine and she started to shiver. + +"What's wrong Sally?" asked Mom. + +"I shivered!" replied Sally. + +Mom and Dad smiled and took Sally inside to fetch a blanket. They wrapped the warm blanket around Sally, and soon she was feeling better. + +"Now, let's go back outside and play," said Dad. + +Sally smiled and ran back out to the backyard with Mom and Dad.

One day, he decided to explore for real. He gathered some supplies and ventured into the wild. + +Along the way, Tim stumbled upon a town. He couldn't believe his eyes. He stared and stared as he explored the streets and buildings of the town. Everywhere he looked, there were bright colours and magical things. + +A man in the town spotted Tim and came up to him. He asked what Tim was doing so far away from home. Tim explained that he wanted to explore and find new places. + +The man smiled at Tim and said, “Exploring is great, but never forget to stay safe. Don't wander too far away from your home base and you'll be alright.†+ +Tim thanked the man and went on his way. He remembered the man's words and decided to return home soon. + +The moral of Tim's story is that it's okay to explore and find new, wild places, as long as you keep your safety as the top priority. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Bill and Becky. Bill and Becky were small and cute. They liked to play together all the time, but today they were playing different games. + +Bill was crawling on the floor and pretending to be a worm.

She started to flutter her arms and back and forth. + +Suddenly, Becky slipped and fell off the armchair. She started to cry. Bill crawled over to her and hugged her tight. “It’s ok Becky,†he said, “We can try something else.†+ +Becky smiled and nodded. But as she tried to stand, she felt a sharp pain in her leg and she started to cry again. “What happened?†asked Bill. + +Becky tearfully explained that she had broken her leg. She would need to go to the hospital. “That’s not very cute,†said Bill sadly. + +Bill and Becky were sad that their day had ended with a bad ending. But despite their sadness, they were still happy to have spent some time together. +Once there was a little girl named Sarah. Every day, Sarah liked to play outside with her friends.

Look at what I am doing!" shouted Sarah to her mom. +Her mom came over to see and was amazed as well. "That's wonderful, Sarah! What are you writing?" + +Sarah replied happily, "I'm writing my own story - I'm the hero!" + +Mom smiled and said, "I can't wait to read your story when you're done!" Sarah kept writing - and kept creating exciting motions with her yellow pen. +The young girl wanted to perform a special task. She took a bottle of lotion and went to her backyard. She began to squeeze the lotion onto her hands. She spread it all around, making sure to cover every bit of skin. After she was finished, she began to rub her hands together. She repeated the action until her hands felt soft to the touch. With a smile, she looked down on her work. She had successfully performed her task! +Once there was a young girl named Lola. She loved her garden more than anything else and was very proud of it. In her garden, Lola had all kinds of plants, flowers and bugs. She managed to keep the garden looking neat and tidy all the time. + +One day, Lola was playing in her garden when she noticed something strange moving across the ground. It was a little, wriggling worm. Lola thought it was so fancy and started to pick it up. She stroked it and told it “Hey little worm, what are you doing today?†+ +Just then, Lola heard her mom calling her from inside the house. Her mom said: â€Lola, manage to come inside and wash your hands.†+ +Lola looked at the worm one last time and then said “Come back soon, little worm!†Then she put it back on the ground, washed her hands and went inside to help her mom. +Once upon a time there was a little boy. Every day, he liked to eat a yummy snack. He asked his mom to give him a treat, but she said no. The little boy insisted on getting something yummy, so his mom got a gray cookie and gave it to him. He smiled and said thank you, and then went to eat his treat. + +The little boy took a bite out of the gray cookie, but it was not yummy, it was bad! He started to cry and kept insisting for a better snack, but his mom said no. The little boy was so sad, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he had to eat the gray cookie that was not yummy. +Once upon a time, there was a kind old man. He was the smartest of them all and he knew all about measuring. Every week the old man would measure the wheat in the field. + +One morning, he went out early to measure the wheat and there he saw a small rabbit. The little rabbit looked upset and asked the old man for help. "Please, kind old man, can you measure how much sadness I feel?" + +The old man was confused but he wanted to help the little rabbit, so he thought of a way. He decided to measure the tears that were running down the rabbit's cheeks. He got a long stick and started to measure the tears. + +"That's enoughâ€, said the old man, "you have shed enough sadness for one week". + +The little rabbit was so grateful and ran away happily. But the old man never saw the rabbit again and he was never able to find out why the rabbit was sad in the first place. The old man was very sad too and it took him a long time to finally measure his own sadness. +Erin and her mom were at the playground.

She ran to do it again. With each slide, her heart felt lighter and lighter. + +Then Erin heard a bittersweet voice say, "Look how high you can go!" Erin was surprised to see a girl about her age. Her name was Grace, and Grace asked Erin if she wanted to play tag. + +Erin felt a little scared, but she wanted to be brave. She said, "Yes!" and joined Grace in chasing each other around the park. They laughed and played until it got dark. + +In the end, Erin found out that Grace had a heart as light as hers. They hugged goodbye and Erin knew that her heart would feel a little less bitter from now on. +Once upon a time, there was a small boy. He had many adventures, but his favorite was climbing the mountain. He always told his mom that one day he would climb the highest mountain. + +One day, the boy's mom said, "We'll go to the mountain today. It will be a nice adventure." The boy was very excited and ran out the door. + +When they arrived at the mountain, the boy was amazed. It was so nice. He asked his mom, "Can I climb the mountain, please?" His mom said, "Yes, you can try, but be careful." + +The boy started to climb the mountain. He was careful, but the rocks were slippery. He slipped a few times, but he kept going. Finally he made it to the top. He looked around and shouted, "I did it!" + +His mom laughed from the bottom of the mountain. She said, "That was brave of you. You did a great job!" The boy smiled. He was proud of himself for telling the mountain he could do it. +Once upon a time there was a vegetable garden full of all types of vegetables. All the vegetables were sun bathing with each other and tipping their stems towards the sky. + +Suddenly, in flew a crazy frog. He started racing around the garden, delighted with the bright green leaves and delicious smelling vegetables. + +The vegetables were alarmed. The carrots yelled; 'Oh no! Why is that crazy frog here?' + +The potato smiled and winked, 'It's OK. We can just swim away! Follow me!' + +So, the vegetable gang held hands and started swimming very quickly out of the garden. + +The crazy frog couldn't keep up and he started hopping after them. Soon, all the vegetables were safe and sound, laughing and eating the delicious vegetables together. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there were two girls named Lucy and Jane. They wanted to visit the park. So they packed their lunch and skipped along the path to the park. + +At the park, they saw a huge tree with leaves that were swaying in the wind. There was a tall slide, too. Jane slid down to the bottom and Lucy watched happily. + +Then the two girls saw a bright yellow button. Jane picked it up and wondered what it was. Lucy said, "Let's press the button and see what happens!" + +They pressed the bright yellow button and suddenly a voice came out of nowhere and said, "Welcome! I'm Mr. Gum, the gumball machine! Would you like a gumball?" + +The two girls were delighted. They each took a gumball, but the gum was a little bit too sticky and it was too harsh to chew. So Lucy and Jane decided to save their gumball for later and enjoyed the rest of their visit to the park. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Rachel who loved potatoes. Every time she had potatoes, she would eat them all up. But one day, Rachel's mother thought it was time to teach her something important. + +Rachel's mother said, "Rachel, I want to show you something. Let's look at the potato." Rachel looked excitedly and noticed that it was hard. Her mother said, "It won't soften up until we put it in some water." + +Rachel started to worry and said, "But if I don't eat it now it will be bad." Her mother said, "No, that's not how it works. We need to start by soaking it in water first. After a while it will be soft and we can start to cook it." + +Rachel followed her instructions and watched as the potato slowly started to get softer. After it was done, she enjoyed the soft and delicious potato. + +The moral of the story is that patience is important in order to get the best results.

They waved the broom up and down, back and forth until the cloud was super clean. + +Jack and Jill were very proud of their work and could see the sun shining brightly through the cloud. + +The End. +Mom and Dad took their three-year-old daughter, Anna, to the park. Anna was so excited to explore the new surroundings. + +They walked around the pond and Anna asked, "What's that?" pointing to a small drain in the corner. + +Mom said, "That is a drain. It helps the water to flow away." + +Anna exclaimed, "Let's enjoy it!" + +They decided to play and ran around the drain in circles. Anna laughed and felt so free. + +Suddenly, Mom and Dad became serious and said to Anna, "Be careful. We don't want you to slip and get hurt." + +Anna was surprised. She stopped and said, "No! I'm being careful! I'm just having fun." + +Mom and Dad smiled and said, "Yes, you are being careful. We just want to make sure.

Every day, she would look through the window and try to see who her neighbours were. + +One day, she noticed something. She saw a velvet bag. Where had it come from?

He turned around and saw an enormous train coming towards him. He had no time to get out of the way and was instantly run over by the train. + +The little engine’s story serves as a warning against being too curious. Nontheless, it showed that listening to our instinct can often save us unnecessary danger. +Once upon a time, there was a wise old bear. He was on a journey, looking for a special kind of style.
