She hoped it would be bright and beautiful. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many nuts on it. They want to pick some nuts and eat them. + +"Look, Ben, nuts!" Mia says.

They are not ours. Maybe they belong to someone else," Ben says. + +But Anna does not listen. She runs to the table and grabs some grapes. She puts them in her mouth. They are sweet and juicy. She smiles. + +"Come on, Ben. They are so good. No one will mind," she says. + +Ben is not sure. He looks around. He does not see anyone. He is hungry. He likes grapes.

They are greedy. + +But they do not know that the grapes are not fair. They are not good for them. They are bad. They have something inside them that makes them sick. Very sick. + +Soon, Anna and Ben feel funny. They feel dizzy and hot. They feel pain in their tummy. They feel sick in their mouth. They want to cry. + +They look at each other. They are scared. They are sorry. They wish they did not eat the grapes. They wish they listened to Ben. They wish they were fair. + +But it is too late. The grapes are bad. Anna and Ben are sick. Very sick. They fall to the ground. They do not get up. They do not play. They do not smile. + +The end. +Tom and Jen were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They saw a big mixer on the counter. It had a bowl and a stick with a round thing at the end. + +"Let's use the mixer!" Tom said. "We can make a cake!" + +"Okay!" Jen said. "But we have to be careful. Mom said the mixer is not a toy. It can hurt us." + +They climbed on a chair and reached for the mixer. They put some flour and sugar and eggs and milk in the bowl. They turned the knob and the mixer started to spin. + +"Wow!" Tom said. "Look at it go!" + +He wanted to see what the round thing was doing. He moved his hand closer to the bowl. Jen saw him and got scared. + +"Tom, no!" she shouted. "Don't touch it! It will poke you!" + +But it was too late. Tom felt a sharp pain in his finger. He screamed and pulled his hand back. Blood dripped from his finger. He started to cry. + +"Mom! Mom!" Jen called. "Tom is hurt!" + +Mom heard them and ran to the kitchen. She saw the mixer and the mess and the blood. She was very troubled. She turned off the mixer and grabbed a towel. She wrapped Tom's finger and hugged him. + +"Oh, Tom, what have you done?" she asked. "You know you're not supposed to play with the mixer. It's very dangerous. You could have lost your finger." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Tom sobbed. "I just wanted to see it. It looked fun." + +Mom sighed. She was angry but also sorry for Tom. She knew he was curious and didn't mean to be bad. + +"It's okay, Tom," she said. "But you have to promise me you'll never touch the mixer again. And you too, Jen. You have to listen to me and be safe." + +"We promise, Mom," Tom and Jen said. "We're sorry." + +Mom kissed them and took them to the bathroom. She cleaned Tom's finger and put a band-aid on it. She told them they were brave and good. She said she loved them. + +Then she made them some real cake and let them eat it. They said it was the best cake ever. They forgot about the mixer and the pain. They were happy. +Ben and Tom were brothers who loved to play baseball. They had a big yard where they could throw and catch and hit the ball. They had a red bat and a white ball and two gloves. They played every day after school. + +One day, they saw a new boy walking by their yard. He had no bat, no ball, no glove. He looked sad and poor.

He was very good at baseball. He could throw and catch and hit the ball very well. Ben and Tom liked him and shared their bat and ball and gloves with him. + +They played for a long time, until the sun was low and the sky was orange. They were tired and happy.

He hoped they would not mind. He hoped they would always be his friends. +Lily liked toast very much. She liked to put butter and jam on it and eat it for breakfast. She had a big sister, Anna, who also liked toast, but she liked to put cheese and ham on it. + +One morning, Lily and Anna both wanted to make toast, but there was only one slice of bread left.

"I saw it first!" + +"No, I saw it first!" Lily said, holding the toast. "It's mine!" + +They both pulled on the toast, trying to own it. The toast broke in half and fell on the floor.

They liked to pretend they were soldiers and march around the table. They wore hats and boots and carried sticks. + +"Attention, soldiers!" Tim said. "We have a mission. We need to find the ice cream in the freezer and eat it before Mom comes back." + +"Yes, sir!" Lily said. She saluted and followed Tim to the freezer. They opened the door and looked inside. There were many boxes and bags, but no ice cream. + +"Where is it?" Tim asked. He moved some things around, but still no ice cream. + +"Maybe Mom hid it somewhere else," Lily said. She looked around the kitchen, but did not see any ice cream. + +"Wait, I hear something," Tim said. He was alert. He heard footsteps in the hall. It was Mom coming back. + +"Quick, soldiers, hide!" Tim said. He grabbed Lily and they ran behind the sofa. They hoped Mom would not see them. + +"Hello, kids, I'm back," Mom said. She entered the kitchen and saw the freezer door open. She frowned and closed it. Then she saw the hats and boots and sticks on the floor. She smiled and shook her head. + +"I wonder what they were up to," she said. She went to the sofa and peeked behind it. She saw Tim and Lily crouching and holding their breath. + +"Boo!" she said. She tickled them and they giggled and screamed. + +"Mom, you found us!" Tim said. + +"Of course I did, you silly soldiers," Mom said. She hugged them and kissed them. "Did you have fun?" + +"Yes, we did," Lily said. "But we couldn't find the ice cream." + +"Oh, you couldn't?" Mom said. She winked and said, "Maybe I can help you with that. Follow me, soldiers, and march to the garage. I have a surprise for you there." + +Tim and Lily jumped up and followed Mom. They were curious and excited. They marched to the garage and saw a big cooler. Mom opened it and showed them a big tub of ice cream. + +"Ta-da!" she said. "I bought this for you today. It's your favorite flavor. How about we have some now?" + +"Yay!" Tim and Lily said.

Ben and Sam are thirsty and tired. They do not want to play anymore. + +"Let's end the game," Ben says. "I want to go home and drink some juice." + +"Me too," Sam says. "The game is not fun when it is so hot and dry." + +They pick up the ball and walk to the gate. They say goodbye to each other and go to their homes. They drink some juice and feel better. They hope it will rain soon and make the grass green again. Then they can play soccer in the park again. They are still happy players. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big squash plant that grew many squashes. Sam and Ben wanted to pick a squash and make soup with Mom. But Mom said they had to wait until the squashes were ripe and big. + +One day, Sam and Ben saw a squash that looked ripe and big. They were impatient and wanted to pick it. They asked Mom if they could, but Mom was busy in the kitchen. She said, "Not now, boys. I have to provide dinner for the family. Maybe later." + +Sam and Ben did not listen to Mom. They ran to the garden and pulled the squash from the plant. They were happy and proud. They carried the squash to the kitchen and showed it to Mom. But Mom was not happy. She said, "Oh, boys, what have you done? This squash is not ripe and big. It is green and small. You picked it too soon. Now it will not make good soup. And you hurt the squash plant. It will not grow more squashes." + +Sam and Ben felt sad and sorry. They had made a mistake. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were impatient and wanted to pick a squash. We did not mean to hurt the plant. Can we fix it?" + +Mom said, "It is too late to fix it, boys. The plant is broken. But you can learn from your mistake. Next time, you have to be patient and wait until the squashes are ripe and big. Then you can pick them and make soup with me. And you have to listen to me when I tell you something. I know what is best for the squashes and for you." + +Sam and Ben nodded and hugged Mom. They said, "We will listen to you, Mom. We will be patient and wait for the squashes. We love you and the squashes." + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you too, boys. And I love the squashes. Maybe we can find another squash that is ripe and big and make soup tomorrow. But for now, let's have dinner. I have provided something else for us to eat." +Tom and Mia liked to play with boats. They had many boats of different colors and sizes. Some boats were made of wood, some of plastic, some of paper. They liked to sail their boats in the bathtub, in the pond, in the pool. + +One day, they saw a big boat in the store. It was white and shiny, with a tall mast and a blue sail. It looked like a real boat that could sail on the sea. Tom and Mia wanted the boat very much, but it was expensive. It cost more than all their other boats together. + +"Can we have the boat, please?" they asked their mom. + +"I'm sorry, my loves, but we can't afford the boat. It's too expensive. Maybe you can save some money and buy it later," their mom said. + +Tom and Mia were sad. They loved their mom, but they also loved the boat. They decided to work hard and save money. They helped their mom with chores, they sold some of their old toys, they did some lemonade stands.

They ran to the store with their mom and bought the boat. They thanked their mom for helping them and hugged her. + +They took the boat to the pond and sailed it. It was fast and smooth and beautiful. They had so much fun. They felt like they had a success. They had worked hard and got what they wanted. They smiled and said to each other, "This is the best boat ever!" +Lily and Tom were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They wanted to do something fun and new. + +"Let's spin!" Lily said. She liked to spin around and feel dizzy. She grabbed Tom's hand and pulled him to the middle of the room. They started to spin faster and faster, laughing and giggling. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud thud. They stopped spinning and looked at the window. A bird had hit the glass and fallen to the ground. It was a small, brown bird with a red spot on its chest. It looked hurt and scared. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "The bird is sad. We have to help it." + +They ran to the window and opened it. They saw the bird lying on the grass, not moving. They carefully picked it up and brought it inside. They wrapped it in a soft towel and put it in a shoebox. + +"Hello, bird," Tom said. "Don't be afraid. We are your friends. We will take care of you." + +The bird opened its eyes and made a weak chirp. It seemed to understand. It snuggled in the towel and closed its eyes again. + +Lily and Tom smiled. They felt happy. They had found a new friend. They forgot about the gloomy day and the boring toys. They decided to name the bird Spinny. +Lily was a spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, dresses, and candies, but she never shared them with anyone. She was mean to her friends, her family, and her pets. + +One day, Lily saw a pretty bird in the garden. She wanted to catch it and keep it in a cage. She found a trap that her dad used to catch mice and set it up with some seeds. She hid behind a bush and waited for the bird to come. + +Soon, the bird saw the seeds and flew down to eat them. But as soon as it touched the trap, it snapped shut and caught the bird. The bird was scared and hurt and tried to escape, but it could not. Lily ran out of her hiding place and grabbed the trap. She was happy and laughed. + +But then, she heard a loud roar. It was a big dog that lived next door. It had seen Lily and the trap and wanted to play with them. It ran towards Lily and barked. Lily was scared and dropped the trap. The dog picked it up and shook it hard. The bird was even more scared and hurt and cried. + +Lily ran away from the dog and into the house. She locked the door and hid under her bed. She wished she had not been so mean and greedy. She wished she had let the bird go. She wished the dog would leave her alone. She prayed for someone to help her and the bird. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to spring on the grass and swing on the swings.

They are bad. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They feel helpless. They want to go home. They want their moms and dads. They do not know what to do. + +Then, they hear a bark. It is Rex, the big dog. Rex lives near the park. He likes Lily and Ben. He does not like the mean kids. He runs to the park. He growls at the mean kids. He chases them away. He is brave. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hug Rex. They thank him. They call him their hero. He wags his tail. He licks their faces. He is their friend. + +They play in the park again. They spring on the grass and swing on the swings.

One day, they saw a big pile of stones near the pond. They wanted to see what they could do with them. + +They took some stones and spread them on the grass. They made shapes and patterns with them. They made a star, a heart, a circle and a square. They were very proud of their work. + +Then they took some more stones and threw them in the pond. They liked to watch the water splash and the ripples spread. They counted how many times they could make the water splash. They laughed and cheered. + +They were having so much fun that they did not notice the sun was setting. The sky turned pink and purple and orange. It was time to go home. + +They picked up their stones and put them back in the pile. They said goodbye to the pond and the grass and the sky. They walked back to their mom and dad, who were waiting for them on a bench. They hugged them and told them about their adventure. + +Mom and dad smiled and listened. They were happy that Ben and Lily had a good time. They took them to the car and drove them home. They gave them a warm bath, a cozy pajama and a glass of milk. They tucked them in their beds and kissed them goodnight. + +Ben and Lily felt very comfortable and sleepy. They closed their eyes and dreamed of stones and water and colors. They were very happy. +Lily liked to question everything. She always asked why, how, and what. She wanted to learn about the world. One day, she saw a balloon in the park. It was red and shiny and big. She ran to it and asked, "Who gave you this balloon? Where did it come from? What is inside it?" + +A boy was holding the balloon. He was older than Lily. He smiled and said, "My mom gave me this balloon. It came from the store. There is air inside it. Do you want to touch it?" + +Lily nodded and reached for the balloon. It was smooth and soft. She squeezed it gently. It made a funny noise. She giggled and said, "Thank you for letting me touch your balloon. It is very nice." + +The boy said, "You're welcome. Do you want to share my snack? I have some crackers and cheese. They are spicy, but I like them." + +Lily liked spicy food. She said, "Yes, please. I like spicy food too. Can I ask you more questions?" + +The boy said, "Sure. I like questions too. Maybe we can be friends." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, let's be friends. And let's eat some spicy crackers and cheese. And let's play with your balloon. It is a very good day." +Lily liked to look at the birds in the birdcage. They had bright colors and soft feathers. She wanted to touch them and play with them, but her mom said no. She said the birds were not toys, and they needed to stay in the cage. + +One day, Lily saw a big cat in the garden. The cat had green eyes and a long tail. It looked hungry and sneaky. It saw the birdcage and jumped on the window sill. It tried to open the cage with its paws, but it was locked. + +The birds saw the cat and got scared. They started to flap their wings and chirp very loud. Lily heard the noise and ran to the window. She saw the cat and the birds and shouted, "Go away, cat! Leave the birds alone!" + +The cat heard Lily and looked at her. It hissed and showed its teeth. It did not want to go away. It wanted to eat the birds. Lily was brave and grabbed a broom. She waved it at the cat and said, "Shoo, shoo, cat! You are bad and mean!" + +The cat did not like the broom. It got scared and jumped off the window sill. It ran away to the garden. Lily put the broom down and smiled. She opened the cage and gave the birds some seeds. She said, "Don't worry, birds. I will protect you. You are good and nice." The birds ate the seeds and thanked Lily. They sang a happy song. Lily sang with them. She was happy too. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But then Sara felt an itch on her arm. She looked and saw a red spot. She scratched it, but it did not go away. + +"Tom, look at my arm. It is red and itchy. What is it?" Sara asked. + +Tom came closer and looked at Sara's arm. He frowned and said, "I think it is a bug bite. Maybe a mosquito or a bee. It will go away soon. Don't scratch it too much." + +Sara nodded, but she was not happy. She did not like bug bites. They made her feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. She wished she could change her arm and make it normal again. + +They decided to go to the water fountain and wash Sara's arm. Maybe that would help. But on the way, they saw a big dog. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. It came to Sara and Tom and licked their faces. + +"Hi, doggy. You are cute and soft. What is your name?" Tom said. + +The dog barked and wagged its tail more. It liked Tom and Sara. But then it smelled something on Sara's arm. It sniffed and licked the red spot. + +"Hey, stop that. That is my bug bite. It is not for you." Sara said. + +She pulled her arm away from the dog. But the dog did not listen. It followed Sara and tried to lick her arm again. Sara ran away, but the dog ran after her. Tom ran after them too. + +Sara was scared and embarrassed. She did not want the dog to lick her bug bite. She wanted to change the situation and make the dog go away. She shouted for help. + +"Mommy, Daddy, help me. The dog is chasing me. It wants to lick my bug bite. Make it stop. Please, make it stop." Sara cried. + +Mommy and Daddy heard Sara's cry. They came to the park and saw the dog, Sara and Tom. They ran to them and picked up Sara. They shooed away the dog and hugged Sara. + +"It's okay, Sara. The dog is gone. It was just curious. It did not mean to hurt you. Your bug bite will be fine. We will put some cream on it and it will heal soon. Don't worry." Mommy said. + +Sara calmed down and hugged Mommy back. She felt better and safer. She thanked Mommy and Daddy for helping her. She also thanked Tom for being her friend. She was glad they were there for her. + +She looked at her arm and saw the red spot. It was still there, but it did not itch as much. She hoped it would change and disappear soon. She did not want to have another bug bite ever again. +Tommy liked to dream about animals. He had many books with pictures of animals, and he would look at them before he went to sleep. He wished he could see the animals for real, not just in books. He wanted to touch them and play with them and hear them make noises. + +One night, Tommy had a very special dream. He dreamed that he was in a big park, and there were many animals there. He saw a lion, a giraffe, a monkey, a zebra, and a bear. They were all friendly and happy, and they let Tommy come close to them. Tommy was so excited, he ran from one animal to another, and they all talked to him. + +"Hello, Tommy," said the lion. "I am the king of the animals. Do you want to roar with me?" + +"Yes, please," said Tommy, and he roared as loud as he could. + +"Hello, Tommy," said the giraffe. "I am the tallest of the animals. Do you want to stretch your neck with me?" + +"Yes, please," said Tommy, and he stretched his neck as high as he could. + +"Hello, Tommy," said the monkey. "I am the funniest of the animals. Do you want to swing with me?" + +"Yes, please," said Tommy, and he swung from a branch with the monkey. + +"Hello, Tommy," said the zebra. "I am the most striped of the animals. Do you want to run with me?" + +"Yes, please," said Tommy, and he ran with the zebra. + +"Hello, Tommy," said the bear. "I am the most regular of the animals. Do you want to hug me?" + +"Yes, please," said Tommy, and he hugged the bear. + +Tommy was so happy, he did not want to wake up. He wanted to stay with the animals forever. But then he heard a noise. It was his mom, calling him for breakfast. + +"Tommy, wake up," she said. "It's time to get up and eat." + +Tommy opened his eyes, and saw his mom smiling at him. He also saw something else. On his bed, there was a stuffed animal. It was a bear, and it looked just like the one in his dream. + +"Look, Tommy," his mom said. "I found this bear at the store yesterday. I thought you would like it. It's a regular bear, just like you." + +Tommy smiled, and hugged the bear. He was glad he had a regular bear, and he was glad he had a mom who knew what he liked. He also hoped he would dream about the animals again. He knew they were waiting for him. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big vine with many green balls on it. Lily said, "What are these balls? Can we eat them?" + +Ben said, "They are grapes. They are sweet and juicy. My mom cooks them sometimes and makes jam." + +Lily said, "Can we cook them too? I want to make jam." + +Ben said, "Okay, let's pick some grapes and go to the kitchen. But we have to ask mom first." + +They picked some grapes and ran to the house. They asked mom if they could cook the grapes. Mom said, "Sure, you can help me make jam. But you have to be careful and follow my instructions." + +Mom gave them a big pot, a spoon, some sugar and a jar. She showed them how to wash the grapes, put them in the pot, add some sugar and boil them. She said, "You have to stir the grapes often and mash them with the spoon. Then they will become thick and sticky. That's jam." + +Lily and Ben stirred and mashed the grapes. They smelled the sweet and fruity aroma. They were happy and excited. They said, "We are cooking jam! We are cooking jam!" + +Mom said, "You are doing a great job. You are very successful cooks. Now we have to fill the jar with the jam and let it cool down. Then we can eat it with bread or pancakes." + +Lily and Ben filled the jar with the jam. They were proud of their work. They said, "We made jam from the vine. We are successful cooks. Thank you, mom." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. You are very clever and creative. I love you and your jam." +Jenny and Tom are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a new toy in the park. It is a fluffy cat with a bell on its neck. It is adorable. + +Jenny and Tom both want the cat. They say, "It is mine!" They pull the cat from each other. The cat does not like it. It meows and scratches. Jenny and Tom cry. + +A lady comes to the park. She sees Jenny and Tom and the cat. She says, "This is my cat. His name is Spot. He ran away from home. I was looking for him. Why are you hurting him?" + +Jenny and Tom feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry. We did not know. We just wanted to play with him. He is adorable." + +The lady smiles. She says, "I understand. He is adorable. But he is not a toy. He is a living thing. He needs love and care. Do you want to pet him and say sorry?" + +Jenny and Tom nod. They pet the cat and say sorry. The cat purrs and rubs his neck on them. He forgives them. Jenny and Tom are happy. They say, "Thank you, lady. Can we be your friends?" + +The lady says, "Of course. You can be my friends. And you can play with Spot sometimes. But you have to be gentle and kind. Can you do that?" + +Jenny and Tom say, "Yes, we can. We will be gentle and kind. We love Spot. He is adorable." + +The end. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they get tired and cranky. Mom says they need a nap after lunch. Tom and Lily do not want a nap. They want to keep playing. + +Mom insists they go to their beds. She says a nap will make them feel better. She gives them a kiss and a hug. She turns off the light and closes the door. Tom and Lily are not happy. They try to stay awake. They talk to each other and make noises. + +Mom hears them. She opens the door and says, "Shh, it's time for a nap. You need to rest your eyes and your bodies. A nap will help you grow and learn. Please be quiet and sleep." She closes the door again. + +Tom and Lily are still not happy. They do not want to grow and learn. They want to have fun. They think a nap is boring and long. They try to get out of their beds. They look for their toys and books. They make a mess in their room. + +Mom hears them again. She opens the door and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Lily, what are you doing? This is not how you behave. You are making a lot of noise and trouble. You are not listening to me. You need to go back to your beds and take a nap. Now." She picks up their toys and books and puts them away. She tucks them in their beds and says, "No more talking, no more playing, no more messing. Just sleep. I will come back when your nap is over." She turns off the light and closes the door. + +Tom and Lily are very unhappy. They do not like mom's tone. They do not like their beds. They do not like their room. They do not like their nap. They cry and whine and kick. They want mom to come back. They want to say sorry. They want to hug mom. They want to play with mom. + +Mom hears them cry. She feels sorry for them. She knows they are tired and need a nap. She also knows they are young and need love. She opens the door and says, "Tom and Lily, I love you. I know you do not like naps, but they are good for you. How about we make a deal? If you take a nap now, I will play with you later. We can read a book, or play a game, or go to the park. Whatever you want. But you have to sleep first. OK?" She smiles and kisses them. + +Tom and Lily stop crying. They look at mom. They love mom. They want to play with mom. They nod and say, "OK, mom. We will take a nap. We are sorry for being naughty. We love you, mom." They hug mom and close their eyes. + +Mom is happy. She says, "Good, Tom and Lily. I am proud of you. I love you, too. Have a nice nap. I will see you soon." She turns off the light and closes the door. + +Tom and Lily fall asleep. They have a long nap. They dream of playing with mom. They wake up feeling better. They are ready to have fun. Mom comes back and says, "Hello, Tom and Lily. Did you have a good nap? Are you ready to play?" She hugs them and takes them to the living room. They see their toys and books. They smile and say, "Yes, mom. We had a good nap. We are ready to play. Thank you, mom." They play with mom and have a great time. They are happy. Mom is happy. They love each other. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play dress-up with Lily's mom's fancy clothes and jewels. Lily's mom lets them use her big hats, shiny necklaces, and pretty rings. They pretend to be kings and queens, or pirates, or movie stars. + +One day, they find a new jewel in Lily's mom's box. It is a big, red, sparkly jewel. It looks like a ruby. Lily and Ben are very excited. They want to try it on. + +"Can I wear it first?" Lily asks. + +"No, I want to wear it first!" Ben says. + +They both reach for the jewel. They pull and tug. They do not share. The jewel falls on the floor. It breaks into many pieces. Lily and Ben are sad. They cry. + +Lily's mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken jewel. She is not angry. She hugs Lily and Ben. + +"It's okay, my loves. It was not a real jewel. It was just a toy. I bought it for you to play with. But you have to be careful and gentle with your toys. And you have to share with your friends. Do you understand?" she says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They say they are sorry. They hug each other. They pick up the pieces of the jewel. They make a new game. They pretend the pieces are magic stones. They enjoy playing with them. They are happy again. +Lily and Tom were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was their ship. They also had a map that showed them where to find treasure. + +"Arr, matey, we need to raise the flag and sail to the island!" Tom said, holding a paper flag. + +"Okay, captain, I will raise the flag!" Lily said, and tied the flag to a stick. She waved it in the air and shouted, "Yo-ho-ho!" + +They climbed into the box and used a broom as a steering wheel. They imagined they were on the sea, with waves and wind and fish. They sang pirate songs and laughed. + +Soon, they reached the island. They jumped out of the box and looked at the map. It had a big X on it. + +"X marks the spot, matey! Let's dig for the treasure!" Tom said, and grabbed a shovel. + +Lily followed him with a bucket. They found a spot under a tree and started to dig. They dug and dug until they hit something hard. + +"Look, look, we found it!" Lily said, and pulled out a metal box. It was rusty and old, but it had a lock on it. + +"Wow, wow, wow! Let's open it!" Tom said, and tried to break the lock. He used the shovel, the broom, and even his teeth, but the lock did not open. + +"Oh, no, how can we open it?" Lily said, and frowned. + +They thought and thought, but they could not find a way to open the lock. They were sad and tired. + +Then, they heard a voice. + +"Hello, hello, what are you doing?" The voice said. + +They looked up and saw a man. He was wearing a hat, a coat, and boots. He had a beard and a hook for a hand. He looked like a real pirate. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked, and hid behind the box. + +"I'm Captain Jack, and this is my treasure. I buried it here a long time ago. And you are?" The man said, and smiled. + +"We are Lily and Tom, and we are playing pirates. We found your treasure, but we can't open it." Lily said, and showed him the box. + +"Ah, I see, I see. Well, you are very brave and clever to find my treasure. But you need a key to open it. And I have the key." The man said, and took out a shiny key from his pocket. + +"Really? Can we see what's inside?" Tom asked, and his eyes sparkled. + +"Of course, of course. But first, you have to promise me something. You have to promise to share the treasure with me, and to be my friends." The man said, and winked. + +"Okay, okay, we promise. We will share and be friends." Lily and Tom said, and nodded. + +"Good, good. Then, let's open the treasure together." The man said, and put the key in the lock. He turned it and the lock clicked. He lifted the lid and the box opened. + +Inside, there were many things. There were coins, jewels, toys, books, and candy. There were also pictures, letters, and cards. There were things that the man had collected from his travels and adventures. + +"Wow, wow, wow! Look at all these things! They are so pretty and fun and yummy!" Lily and Tom said, and clapped their hands. + +"Yes, yes, yes! They are my treasure. And now, they are your treasure too. You can have anything you want. But remember, the most important treasure is friendship. And I'm very happy to have you as my friends." The man said, and hugged them. + +Lily and Tom hugged him back. They were very happy too. They had found a treasure and a friend. They played and talked and ate and laughed. They had the best pirate day ever. +Ben and Tom were brothers who lived on a farm. They liked to play in the fields and watch the animals. One day, they saw a big orange truck near the wheat. The truck had a big pipe that sucked up the wheat and put it in a box. + +"Who is that?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is a friend of Dad," Tom said. + +They ran to the truck and saw a man inside. He had a hat and a beard. He looked at them and smiled. + +"Hello, boys. Do you like my truck?" he asked. + +"Yes, it is very big and orange," Ben said. + +"What are you doing with the wheat?" Tom asked. + +"Oh, I am just taking some for my bakery. Your Dad said I could," the man lied. + +He did not know their Dad. He was a thief who wanted to steal the wheat and sell it. + +"Can we see your bakery?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, why not? Hop in, boys. I will show you," the man said. + +He opened the door and let them in. He was happy. He had two more things to sell. + +But he did not see Dad coming. Dad had seen the truck and knew something was wrong. He ran to the truck and shouted. + +"Hey, stop! That is my wheat! And those are my sons!" + +He grabbed the door and pulled the man out. He was angry. He punched the man and took his keys. He called the police and told them what happened. + +Ben and Tom were scared. They did not know the man was bad. They hugged Dad and said sorry. + +"It's okay, boys. You are safe now. But don't go with strangers again. They might want to steal from you or hurt you," Dad said. + +He drove them back to the farm and gave them some cookies. He was glad he had stopped the thief. He was proud of his wheat and his sons. +Ben and Lily were enthusiastic to go to the park with their mom. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the car. Mom drove them to the park and they saw many things on the way. They saw a big truck, a red light, and a dog. + +When they got to the park, they jumped out of the car and ran to the swings. They took turns pushing each other and laughing. Mom watched them and smiled. She said, "You are having so much fun!" + +"Yes, we are!" Ben and Lily said. + +After a while, they went to the slide and the sandbox. They made friends with other kids and played with them. They shared their toys and snacks. They were very happy. + +But then, the sky became dark and cloudy. They heard a loud boom and saw a flash. It was a storm. They felt raindrops on their heads. They were scared. + +"Come on, kids, we have to go!" Mom said. She grabbed their hands and ran to the car. They got in and closed the doors. They heard the rain pounding on the roof and the windows. + +"It's okay, don't be afraid," Mom said. She turned on the radio and sang a song. Ben and Lily cuddled with her and sang along. + +They drove back home and saw the storm go away. They saw a rainbow in the sky. They were happy again. + +When they got home, they took off their wet clothes and put on dry ones. They went to the living room and saw a surprise. Dad was home from work. He had hung a new curtain on the window. It was colorful and bright. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben and Lily said. + +"Hi, kids, I missed you!" Dad said. He hugged them and kissed them. He said, "I got this curtain for you. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, we love it!" Ben and Lily said. They thanked him and gave him a big hug. + +They sat on the couch and watched a movie. They ate popcorn and cookies. They snuggled with Mom and Dad. They were very happy. + +The end. +Ben and Lily were at the park with their mom. They liked to play on the slide, but it was very high. Ben was brave and climbed up the ladder. Lily was scared and stayed on the ground. + +"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" Ben shouted from the top of the slide. "You can do it!" + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to go up. She saw a big boy behind her. He wanted to go on the slide too. He was not nice. He poked Lily in the back and said, "Move, you baby!" + +Lily cried. She did not like being poked. She did not like being called a baby. She wished Ben was with her. + +Ben saw what happened. He slid down the slide very fast. He ran to Lily and hugged her. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. You're not a baby. You're my sister. And I love you." + +He looked at the big boy and said, "Don't poke my sister. That's mean. Say sorry." + +The big boy was surprised. He did not expect Ben to stand up for Lily. He felt a little bad. He said, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." + +Ben nodded. He said, "It's okay. But be nice to other kids. They have feelings too." + +He took Lily's hand and said, "Come on, Lily. Let's go on the slide together. I'll help you. It's not so scary when you have a friend." + +Lily smiled. She felt better. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You're very helpful. You're the best brother ever." + +They climbed up the ladder and slid down the slide. They laughed and had fun. Their mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. They were good kids. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to swim in the sea and look at the reef. The reef has many fish and shells and corals. Tom and Sam have a big bag to collect some shells. They want to sell the shells to buy ice cream. + +One day, they swim to a new part of the reef. They see a big turtle. The turtle is sleepy. It does not see Tom and Sam. Tom and Sam swim closer to the turtle. They want to touch it. + +"Look, Sam, a turtle!" Tom says. + +"Wow, it is so big and green!" Sam says. + +They reach out their hands to the turtle. But the turtle wakes up. It does not like to be touched. It snaps at Tom and Sam. They get scared. They swim away fast. They drop their bag of shells. The turtle takes the bag and swims away. + +"Hey, that is our bag!" Tom says. + +"Come back, turtle!" Sam says. + +But the turtle is gone. Tom and Sam are sad. They have no shells to sell. They have no ice cream. They swim back to the shore. They are tired and hungry. They tell their mom what happened. + +"I'm sorry, boys," their mom says. "But you should not bother the turtle. The turtle lives in the reef. The reef is its home. You should respect the turtle and the reef." + +Tom and Sam nod. They understand. They say sorry to the turtle and the reef. They hug their mom. She gives them some cookies and milk. They feel better. They decide to swim in the sea again tomorrow. But they will not touch the turtle. They will just look at it and say hello. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play at the park. They have a ball and a bike. They run and kick the ball. They ride the bike on the path. They have fun. + +One day, they see a fat cat at the park. The cat is orange and fluffy. It sits on a bench. It looks at Tim and Jen. It does not move. + +"Look, a fat cat!" Tim says. He points at the cat. + +"Can we pet it?" Jen asks. She likes cats. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is nice. Maybe it is mean." Tim says. He is not sure. + +They walk slowly to the cat. They say hello. The cat does not say anything. It blinks its eyes. It licks its paw. + +"Hi, cat. Can we pet you?" Jen asks. She reaches out her hand. + +The cat meows. It rubs its head on Jen's hand. It purrs. It is nice. + +"Wow, it likes you!" Tim says. He smiles. He pets the cat too. + +The cat is happy. It rolls on its back. It shows its belly. + +Tim and Jen laugh. They tickle the cat's belly. The cat meows louder. + +They play with the cat for a while. They forget about the ball and the bike. They have fun. + +They get thirsty. They remember their juice. They have juice in their backpacks. + +"Let's have some juice." Tim says. He gets his backpack. + +"Okay. Do you want to share with the cat?" Jen asks. She gets her backpack too. + +"Sure. Maybe the cat is thirsty too." Tim says. He opens his juice box. + +They give some juice to the cat. The cat licks the juice. It likes it. + +They drink their juice. They share with the cat. They are happy. + +They finish their juice. They put their backpacks on. They say goodbye to the cat. + +"Bye, cat. Thank you for playing with us. You are a nice cat." Jen says. She hugs the cat. + +"Bye, cat. You are a fat cat. But you are a fun cat." Tim says. He waves at the cat. + +The cat meows. It waves its paw. It is sad. + +They leave the park. They take their ball and their bike. They go home. + +They tell their moms about the cat. They say they want to see the cat again. + +Maybe they will. Maybe they won't. They don't know. + +But they know they had a good day. They know they have a good friend. They know they like the park. And they know they like juice. And they know they like the fat cat. +Sara liked to play with her dad's computer. She liked to press the buttons and see the pictures on the screen. Sometimes she played games or watched videos. But one day, she pressed the wrong button and the computer turned off. She tried to turn it back on, but nothing happened. She was scared and sad. She thought she broke the computer. + +She ran to find her dad and told him what happened. Her dad was not angry, but he was worried. He said the computer had a problem and he needed to restore it. He said restore means to make something work again. He took the computer to his room and opened it. He looked inside and found a loose wire. He fixed the wire and closed the computer. He turned it on and it worked again. He was happy and relieved. + +He hugged Sara and thanked her for telling him the truth. He said he was proud of her for being honest and brave. He said the computer was very important to him, but not as important as her. He said he loved her very much. He let her play with the computer again, but he showed her which buttons to press and which ones to avoid. Sara was happy and learned a new word. She said restore was a good word. She said the computer was not ordinary, but special. She said she loved her dad very much. They played together and had fun. +Lily liked to clean her room. She had many toys and books and dolls. She put them in boxes and shelves. She made her bed and dusted her desk. She felt happy when her room was clean. + +One day, she found a mystery in her room. It was a pale stone with strange marks on it. She did not know where it came from. She did not remember seeing it before. She wondered who gave it to her and what it meant. + +She asked her mom and dad, but they did not know either. They said maybe it was a gift from someone or a souvenir from a trip. They said maybe it was a special stone with a story. They said maybe she could make up her own story about it. + +Lily liked that idea. She decided to keep the stone as a treasure. She put it on her desk next to her lamp. She thought of different stories about the stone. Maybe it was from a fairy or a pirate or a dinosaur. Maybe it had magic or secrets or wishes. She liked to imagine and dream. + +She was glad she cleaned her room. She was glad she found the mystery. She was glad she had a treasure. She felt happy and curious and creative. +Tom and Anna were playing in the yard. They saw a big truck stop at their house. A man came out of the truck with a big bag. He took out some papers and put them in a box on the wall. He was mailing them. + +"Who are those papers for?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are for Mom or Dad," Anna said. + +"Let's go and see. Maybe they are something fun," Tom said. + +They ran to the box and opened it. They saw many papers with words and pictures on them. Some had stamps and stickers. Some had envelopes. They took them out and looked at them. + +"These are not fun. These are boring," Tom said. + +"Maybe this one is fun. It has a big red star on it," Anna said. She opened the envelope and found a card inside. It had a picture of a cake and candles on it. It said, "Happy Birthday, Anna!" + +"Wow! This is for me! It's my birthday today!" Anna said. + +"Who sent it to you?" Tom asked. + +Anna looked at the card. It had a name and a address on it. But she did not know them. They were not her friends or family. They were strangers. + +"I don't know. It's a mystery," Anna said. + +"Maybe they are secret admirers. Maybe they like you a lot," Tom said. + +"Or maybe they are spies. Maybe they want to trick me," Anna said. + +They looked at the card again. They felt curious and scared. They did not know what to do with it. + +"Should we show it to Mom or Dad?" Tom asked. + +"Or should we hide it or throw it away?" Anna asked. + +They thought for a minute. They did not know who to trust. They had a problem. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to act. They acted like animals, like heroes, like teachers. They had fun with their toys and costumes. But sometimes they acted too much and forgot to be nice. + +One day, they acted like pirates and wanted to take Mom's bowl. The bowl was shiny and pretty and had fruit in it. Mom said, "No, this is my bowl. You can have your own bowls. Please don't act like pirates who steal things." + +But Lily and Ben did not listen. They waited until Mom was busy and sneaked to the kitchen. They grabbed the bowl and ran to their room. They laughed and said, "Arrr, we are the best pirates ever! We have the treasure!" + +But then they heard a loud crash. They turned around and saw that the bowl had fallen from their hands and broken on the floor. The fruit was scattered and the pieces of the bowl were sharp. Lily and Ben felt scared and sorry. They had made a big mess and hurt Mom's bowl. + +They heard Mom coming and did not know what to do. They felt troubled and ashamed. They wanted to hide, but they knew that was wrong. They decided to act like good children and tell the truth. + +They went to Mom and said, "Mom, we are sorry. We acted like pirates and took your bowl. We broke it and made a mess. We were bad and we are sorry. Can you forgive us?" + +Mom was angry and sad, but she also saw that Lily and Ben were sorry. She said, "Thank you for telling me the truth. I am disappointed that you acted like pirates who steal things. That is not nice or fun. You need to learn to respect other people's things and ask before you take them. You also need to help me clean up the mess and say sorry to the bowl. But I love you and I forgive you. Next time, please act like kind and honest children." + +Lily and Ben hugged Mom and said, "We love you too, Mom. We are sorry to you and to the bowl. We will help you clean up and we will not act like pirates who steal things again. We will act like kind and honest children." + +They learned their lesson and never acted like pirates who steal things again. They still liked to act, but they acted like animals, like heroes, like teachers. They had fun with their toys and costumes, but they also remembered to be nice. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with many colors. The truck has a sign that says "Ice Cream". + +"Look, ice cream!" Lily says. "Can we have some, please?" + +Ben nods. They run to the truck and wait in line. The ice cream man smiles and asks them what they want. + +"I want chocolate," Lily says. + +"I want vanilla," Ben says. + +The ice cream man gives them cones with ice cream. They pay him with coins. They say "thank you" and walk to a bench. + +They lick their ice cream and make happy sounds. The ice cream is cold and sweet. It has a nice taste. + +"This is the best ice cream ever," Lily says. + +"I agree," Ben says. + +They finish their ice cream and throw the cones in the trash. They clap their hands and hug each other. + +"Let's play some more," Lily says. + +"OK," Ben says. + +They run to the swings and have more fun. They are glad they have ice cream and each other. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. Lily wanted to make a big castle with a moat and a drawbridge. She asked Ben to help her. + +"Ben, can you give me that blue block? I need it for the water." + +But Ben did not answer. He was busy making his own tower. He wanted to make it very tall and strong. He ignored Lily and kept stacking blocks. + +"Ben, please! I need that block!" Lily said again. She was getting angry. She tried to reach for the block, but Ben moved it away. + +"No, it's mine! Go away!" Ben shouted. He pushed Lily with his hand. Lily fell down and bumped her head. She started to cry. + +The teacher heard the noise and came to the playroom. She saw Lily on the floor and Ben with his tower. She was not happy. + +"Ben, what did you do? Why did you push Lily?" she asked. + +Ben did not want to answer. He felt embarrassed. He knew he was wrong. He looked at his tower and saw that it was wobbly. He tried to fix it, but it was too late. The tower fell down and the blocks scattered everywhere. + +Lily stopped crying and looked at Ben. She saw that he was sad. She felt sorry for him. She got up and walked to him. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take your block. Do you want to help me make a castle?" she asked. + +Ben looked at Lily and nodded. He smiled a little. He said he was sorry too. He took her hand and they went to get some blocks. They decided to share and work together. They made a beautiful castle with a moat and a drawbridge. They were happy and proud. The teacher saw them and smiled. She praised them for being kind and friendly. She gave them each a sticker and a hug. +Lila and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They had flour, eggs, sugar and butter. They put everything in a big bowl and mixed it with a spoon. + +"Can you move the butter closer to me?" Lila asked Ben. "I need more for the cake." + +Ben tried to move the butter, but it was too heavy. He pushed and pulled, but it did not budge. He felt sad and frustrated. + +"I can't move it, Lila. It is too big and hard. How can we make the cake without butter?" + +Lila thought for a moment. She had an idea. She ran to the living room and came back with a toy car. She put the car under the butter and pushed it. The car rolled and the butter moved. + +"Look, Ben! I moved the butter with the car. It is a mighty car. It can move anything. Now we can make the cake." + +Ben smiled and clapped his hands. He was happy and proud of Lila. He helped her put the butter in the bowl and mix it with the other things. They poured the batter in a pan and put it in the oven. They waited for the cake to bake. They hoped Mom would like it. They hugged each other and said: + +"We are mighty too. We can make a cake with butter and a car." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a pink cup that she liked very much. She filled it with water from the kitchen and drank from it like a cat. + +"Meow, meow, I am a kitty," she said. + +Ben wanted to play with the cup too. He grabbed it from Lily and ran away with it. Lily was very angry and chased him. + +"Give me back my cup, you bad dog!" she shouted. + +Ben laughed and ran faster. He did not see the table in front of him and bumped into it. The cup flew out of his hand and crashed on the floor. It broke into many pieces and water spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no, oh no, what have I done?" Ben said. He was very scared and sad. He saw Lily's face and knew she was very mad. + +Lily saw her cup broken and water on the floor. She felt very sad and started to cry. She loved her cup and now it was gone. + +"Mama, mama, help!" she cried. + +Mama heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the children. She was not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +Ben and Lily both started to talk at the same time. They tried to explain what they did, but they were very confused and scared. They used the word "panic" a lot. + +"Mama, I panic, he panic, we panic, cup panic, bad panic!" they said. + +Mama sighed and shook her head. She hugged them and calmed them down. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay, don't panic. I know you were playing, but you have to be careful. You can't take things from each other and run around. You can hurt yourself and break things. Do you understand?" she said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and said they were sorry. They helped Mama clean up the mess and threw away the broken cup. Mama gave them each a new cup and a cookie. She told them to share and be nice to each other. + +They said thank you and hugged her. They learned their lesson and played with their new cups and cookies. They did not panic anymore. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play at the park. There is a big slide at the park. Tom and Mia want to slide down the slide. + +But there is a problem. There is a boy on the slide. He does not slide down. He sits on the slide and makes a whip with a rope. He swings the whip and says, "I am the boss of the slide. You can't slide. Go away!" + +Tom and Mia are frustrated. They want to slide, but the boy is mean. They ask him nicely, "Please, can we slide? We will share the slide with you. You can slide too." + +The boy laughs and says, "No, you can't slide. This is my slide. My whip will hurt you if you come near. Ha ha ha!" + +Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They don't know what to do. They look around and see a big dog. The dog is friendly and likes to play. Tom and Mia have an idea. They call the dog and give him a treat. They say, "Come, dog. Let's play with the whip." + +The dog runs to the slide and sees the whip. He thinks the whip is a toy. He jumps on the slide and grabs the whip with his mouth. He pulls the whip and the boy falls off the slide. He cries and runs away. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They say, "Thank you, dog. You are a good dog. You helped us. Now we can slide." + +They slide down the slide with the dog. They have fun and laugh. They are friends with the dog. They share the slide with the dog. They are not frustrated anymore. They are glad. +One day, a little girl named Mia went to the park with her mom. She saw an enormous dog with black and white fur. The dog was very friendly and licked Mia's face. Mia laughed and hugged the dog. + +"Mom, can we keep him?" Mia asked. "He is so soft and nice. His fur feels like velvet." + +Mom smiled and shook her head. "No, sweetie, we can't keep him. He belongs to someone else. See, he has a collar with a name tag. His name is Spot." + +Mia looked at the collar and saw the name. She was sad. She wanted to play with Spot more. She gave him one more hug and said, "Bye, Spot. I hope I see you again." + +Spot wagged his tail and barked. He liked Mia too. He wanted to stay with her. But he also knew he had to go back to his owner. He followed a man who called his name. The man was Spot's owner. He thanked Mia and her mom for being nice to his dog. + +Mia and her mom waved goodbye to Spot and his owner. They walked to the swings and played there. Mia still missed Spot, but she was happy to have fun with her mom. She hoped Spot would come back to the park someday. She would always remember the enormous velvet dog. +Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to build sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to watch the big blue water that moved up and down. Sometimes the water came close to their sand castles and made them wet. + +"Look, Lily, a big wave!" Tom said, pointing to the water. "It is coming to our sand castle!" + +Lily looked and saw the big wave too. She was scared. She did not want the wave to break their sand castle. She grabbed Tom's hand and ran away from the water. + +"Stop, wave, stop!" she shouted. "Do not break our sand castle!" + +But the wave did not stop. It was persistent. It kept coming closer and closer to the sand castle. It reached the sand castle and washed it away. Tom and Lily were sad. They had worked hard to build their sand castle. + +They realized that the water did not listen to them. It did what it wanted. They also realized that they could not stop the water. It was too big and strong. + +They decided to build another sand castle. But this time, they built it far away from the water. They hoped that the water would not reach it. They also hoped that the water would not be angry with them. They said sorry to the water and waved to it. They hoped that the water would wave back and be their friend. +Lily wanted to play with her doll, but she could not find it. She looked under her bed, in her toy box, and behind the sofa. She still could not find it. She thought maybe it was in the cabinet, where her mom sometimes put things away. + +She went to the cabinet and tried to open it, but it was locked. She pulled and pushed, but it did not move. She was angry and sad. She wanted her doll. She said, "Cabinet, open! Give me my doll!" + +The cabinet did not answer. It was stubborn. It did not care about Lily or her doll. It just stayed closed and quiet. Lily felt like crying. She sat on the floor and crossed her arms. + +Then she heard a voice. It was her mom. She came into the room and saw Lily. She said, "What's wrong, sweetie? Why are you upset?" + +Lily pointed at the cabinet and said, "Cabinet is bad. It has my doll and it won't open. I want my doll!" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "Don't worry, honey. The cabinet is not bad. It's just locked. I have the key. I can open it for you. I put your doll there because I wanted to surprise you. I washed it and made it a new dress. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, please! Thank you, mom!" + +Mom took out the key and opened the cabinet. She took out the doll and gave it to Lily. Lily gasped and hugged the doll. It was clean and soft and had a pretty pink dress. Lily said, "Wow! It's beautiful! I love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +Mom kissed Lily and said, "You're welcome, my darling. I'm glad you like it. Now, do you want to play with it?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do! Can I play with it here?" + +Mom said, "Of course, you can. Just remember to put it back in the cabinet when you're done. Okay?" + +Lily said, "Okay, mom. I will. I love you!" + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Have fun!" +Lily liked to wear her red vest. It was warm and soft and had a big pocket for her toys. She wore it every day, even when it was hot outside. She felt independent in her vest. She could do anything she wanted. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. They played on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Lily had fun, but she did not want to share her toys with the other kids. She kept them in her pocket and said, "Mine!" + +A boy named Max came over and asked, "Can I play with your car?" He pointed to the shiny blue car in Lily's pocket. + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, mine!" + +Max frowned and said, "That's not nice. You have to share." + +Lily paused. She did not want to be mean, but she did not want to give up her car. She liked her car. It was her favorite toy. + +She looked at her mom and dad. They were watching her. They smiled and nodded. They wanted her to share. + +Lily sighed. She took out her car and handed it to Max. She said, "Okay, you can play with it. But be careful." + +Max smiled and said, "Thank you. You can play with my truck." He gave her a big yellow truck. + +Lily smiled too. She took the truck and said, "Thank you. This is a nice truck." + +They played together for a while. They made vroom and beep sounds. They had fun. + +Lily learned that sharing was good. She still liked her vest, but she liked her new friend too. She felt independent and kind. +Anna liked to sing. She sang every day. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang happy songs, sad songs, funny songs, and silly songs. She sang so much that her voice became very powerful. She could sing louder and higher than anyone else. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw some kids playing on the swings, the slide, and the seesaw. She wanted to join them, but she was shy. She did not know how to make friends. She thought maybe if she sang, they would like her. So she opened her mouth and sang a song. But she sang so loud and so high that the kids got scared. They covered their ears and ran away. Anna felt sad and lonely. + +She saw a boy sitting on a bench. He was not playing with the others. He had a book in his hand. He looked friendly. Anna walked up to him and said hello. The boy smiled and said hello back. He asked her what her name was. She told him her name was Anna and that she liked to sing. He told her his name was Ben and that he liked to read. He asked her if she wanted to see his book. She said yes and sat next to him. He showed her his book. It was about animals. He pointed to a picture of a lion and said, "This is a lion. He is very powerful. He can run fast and roar loud. But he also needs to exercise. He has to hunt for his food and protect his family. If he does not exercise, he will become weak and sick." + +Anna listened to Ben. She learned a lot from his book. She also liked his voice. It was soft and gentle. She asked him if he liked to sing. He said he did, but only sometimes. He said he liked to sing when he was happy, or when he wanted to cheer someone up. He said he did not sing too loud or too high, because he did not want to hurt anyone's ears. He said he sang just enough to make himself and others feel good. + +Anna thought about what Ben said. She realized that she had been singing too much and too loud. She had not been exercising her voice, but straining it. She had not been making friends, but scaring them. She felt sorry for what she had done. She decided to change her ways. She said to Ben, "Thank you for showing me your book and teaching me about animals. You are very smart and kind. I want to be your friend. Can I sing a song for you? But not too loud or too high. Just enough to make you feel good." + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, I would like that. You have a beautiful voice. I want to be your friend too. Can I read a story for you? But not too long or too hard. Just enough to make you happy." + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, please. I love stories. You have a wonderful voice too." + +They held hands and sang a song and read a story. They became the best of friends. They learned that singing and reading are good, but only when they are done with care and respect. They learned that being powerful is not enough, but also being healthy and friendly. They learned that the best way to make friends is to share and listen. They learned a lot from each other. And they lived happily ever after. +Lila and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They wanted to make him smile, but they did not have anything for his mouth. + +"Look, I have a string!" Tom said. He showed Lila a long red string that he found in his pocket. "We can use it for his mouth!" + +"Good idea!" Lila said. She took one end of the string and Tom took the other. They wrapped it around the snowman's head and tied it in a bow. "Now he has a smile!" + +The snowman looked happy with his string smile. Lila and Tom were happy too. They hugged the snowman and said, "We love you, Mr. Snowman!" + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog, running towards them. He barked and jumped on the snowman. He bit the carrot nose and the rocks. He pulled the string and the hat and the scarf. He made the snowman fall apart. + +"Hey, stop it!" Lila and Tom shouted. They ran to the dog and tried to push him away. But the dog was too strong and too fast. He ran away with the string in his mouth. + +Lila and Tom were sad. They looked at the mess that was their snowman. They felt icy tears on their cheeks. + +"Come on, let's go home," Lila said. She took Tom's hand and squeezed it. "Maybe we can make another snowman tomorrow." + +"OK," Tom said. He squeezed her hand back. "But we need a new string." +Lily liked to feed the sheep on the farm. She had a big bag of hay and a small bucket of water. She walked to the field where the sheep were. She saw many white sheep with soft wool. They said "baa" when they saw her. + +But Lily also saw one sheep that was different. It was black, not white. It had curly horns, not wool. It said "meh" instead of "baa". Lily was curious. She wanted to feed the different sheep. + +She went to the different sheep and said "hello". The different sheep looked at her and said "meh". Lily smiled and gave it some hay and water. The different sheep ate and drank. It seemed happy. + +Lily asked "what is your name?" The different sheep said "my name is Sam". Lily said "my name is Lily. I like you, Sam. You are different, but you are nice". Sam said "I like you too, Lily. You are kind, but you are brave". + +Lily and Sam became friends. They played and talked in the field. The other sheep watched them and wondered. They did not understand why Lily liked the different sheep. But Lily and Sam did not care. They were happy. +Tim and Liz are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big tent. The tent is their space. They go inside the tent and pretend they are in a different world. + +One day, they pretend they are in space. They wear helmets and gloves. They have a flashlight and a toy rocket. They make noises like beep and zoom. They have fun in their space tent. + +But then, Tim has an idea. He wants to scare Liz. He thinks he is clever. He sneaks out of the tent and turns off the light. He hides behind the door. He waits for Liz to come out. + +Liz does not know where Tim is. She calls his name. She does not hear him. She is scared. She thinks he is lost in space. She cries. She wants her brother. + +Tim hears Liz cry. He feels bad. He is not clever. He is mean. He runs to the tent and turns on the light. He hugs Liz and says sorry. He tells her he was hiding. He tells her he loves her. + +Liz stops crying. She hugs Tim and says sorry too. She tells him she was scared. She tells him she loves him. They are happy again. They go back to their space tent. They play and laugh. They are twins. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and pretend they were pirates. One day, they found a big box near the swings. It had a picture of a ship on it. + +"Look, Ben, a treasure chest!" Lily said. + +"Let's open it and see what's inside!" Ben said. + +They lifted the lid and saw many things. There were hats and scarves and books and toys. But the most exciting thing was a menu. It had pictures of different foods and drinks. + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"It's a menu. It tells you what you can eat at a restaurant," Ben said. + +"A restaurant? What is that?" Lily asked. + +"It's a place where you can go and choose what you want to eat. My mom took me there once. It was fun," Ben said. + +"Can we go to a restaurant?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, why not? We can pretend this box is our ship and we can sail to a restaurant," Ben said. + +They put on the hats and scarves and grabbed some books and toys. They climbed into the box and pretended it was a ship. They used a book as a steering wheel and a toy as a horn. + +"Ahoy, mateys! We are off to a restaurant!" Ben shouted. + +"Yay, let's go!" Lily cheered. + +They imagined they were sailing on the sea. They saw fish and birds and islands. They sang songs and told jokes. They were very happy. + +Soon, they reached a restaurant. It was a big building with a sign that said "Seafood". They got out of the box and walked to the door. + +"Welcome to Seafood, how can I help you?" a man said. + +"We are pirates and we want to eat here," Ben said. + +"Okay, pirates, follow me. I have a table for you," the man said. + +He led them to a table near a big window. They saw a tank with water and many fish inside. + +"Wow, look at the fish!" Lily said. + +"They are so pretty and colorful!" Ben said. + +The man gave them a menu. It had the same pictures as the one they found in the box. + +"Here is your menu. You can choose what you want to eat and drink. I will come back soon to take your order," the man said. + +He left them alone. They looked at the menu and saw many things. There were clams and crabs and shrimps and lobsters. There were also soups and salads and fries and pies. + +"What do you want to eat, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, Ben. Everything looks good. What do you want to eat?" Lily asked. + +"I want to try something new. Something adventurous," Ben said. + +He looked at the menu and saw something that caught his eye. It was a picture of a fish with a big mouth and sharp teeth. It said "Shark Steak". + +"I want to eat this," Ben said, pointing at the picture. + +"Shark steak? Are you sure, Ben? That looks scary," Lily said. + +"I'm sure, Lily. I'm a brave pirate. I want to eat a shark," Ben said. + +"Okay, Ben. If you want to eat a shark, I will eat a shark too. I'm a brave pirate too," Lily said. + +They decided to order shark steak and lemonade. They waited for the man to come back. + +While they were waiting, they saw something amazing. One of the fish in the tank jumped out of the water and dived back in. It made a big splash. + +"Did you see that, Lily? That fish dived!" Ben said. + +"I saw that, Ben. That fish is so cool!" Lily said. + +They watched the fish dive again and again. They clapped and laughed. They wanted to dive too. + +"Let's dive, Lily. Let's dive like the fish," Ben said. + +"Let's dive, Ben. Let's dive like the fish," Lily said. + +They got up from their table and ran to the tank. They climbed on the edge and dived into the water. They felt the water on their skin and the bubbles in their nose. They saw the fish swim around them. They were so happy. + +They did not hear the man come back. They did not hear him shout. They did not hear him call for help. They did not hear the other people scream. They did not care. They were having fun. + +They were adventurous pirates. They dived like the fish. They ate the shark. They were the best friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. They also saw things in the sky: clouds, sun, moon, and stars. Sometimes they saw aeroplanes too. Aeroplanes were big and noisy and flew very fast. + +One day, they saw a black aeroplane in the sky. It was different from the other aeroplanes. It was smaller and quieter and flew very low. They wondered where it was going and what it was doing. They wanted to see it closer. + +"Let's find the black aeroplane!" Lily said to Tom. + +"OK, let's go!" Tom said to Lily. + +They ran after the black aeroplane. They followed it across the park, over the road, and into the woods. They did not see anyone else. They only saw the black aeroplane. They were not scared. They were curious. + +They reached a clearing in the woods. There they saw the black aeroplane. It had landed on the ground. It had a door and a window and a propeller. It looked like a toy, but it was real. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said to Tom. + +"Can we touch it?" Tom said to Lily. + +They walked towards the black aeroplane. They wanted to touch it and see inside it. They did not know that someone was watching them. It was the pilot of the black aeroplane. He was hiding behind a tree. He was not happy. He did not want anyone to find his black aeroplane. He had a secret mission. He had to stop Lily and Tom. He had to scare them away. He had a plan. He grabbed a stick and a mask. He ran towards Lily and Tom. He shouted and waved the stick. He wore the mask. He looked like a monster. + +"Roar! Go away! This is my black aeroplane! You can't touch it!" He said to Lily and Tom. + +Lily and Tom were shocked. They saw the monster. They heard the roar. They felt the stick. They were scared. They did not want to touch the black aeroplane anymore. They wanted to go back to the park. They wanted to be safe. They turned around and ran away. They did not look back. They did not see the pilot. He took off his mask and smiled. He had done his job. He had protected his black aeroplane. He got inside it and flew away. He did not see Lily and Tom again. He did not know that they had learned a lesson. They had learned to be careful. They had learned to not find things that did not belong to them. They had learned to not chase black aeroplanes. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of cars, trucks, planes and helicopters. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving or flying. + +Tom picked up a red helicopter and said, "This is mine. I want to fly it high in the sky." He made a whooshing sound and moved it around. + +Lily saw the red helicopter and said, "No, that is mine. I want to fly it too. Give it to me." She reached out her hand and tried to grab it. + +Tom and Lily started to pull the helicopter from each other. They both wanted it and did not want to share. They shouted and cried. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. She came out of the house and saw them fighting. She was grumpy and did not like the noise. "You are being very naughty. You need to learn to play nicely and take turns. If you can't, I will separate you and take away your toys." + +Tom and Lily did not want that. They did not want to be separated and lose their toys. They looked at each other and said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Tom." + +They let go of the helicopter and hugged each other. They decided to fly it together and take turns. They made happy noises and smiled. + +Their mom was glad to see them getting along. She said, "That's better. You are being very good. You can keep your toys and play in the garden. But remember to share and be kind." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We will. Thank you." + +They went back to their toys and had fun. They flew the red helicopter and the other planes. They drove the cars and the trucks. They were friends and did not fight. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. The bird is red and yellow and blue. It is very pretty. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" Sara says. + +"Wow, Sara, it is so bright!" Ben says. + +The bird flies to them and lands on a tree. It opens its mouth and sings. It sings a song that sounds like bells and flutes. Sara and Ben listen and smile. + +"Hello, bird, what is your name?" Sara asks. + +"I am a parrot. I come from the east, where it is very hot. I like to sing and talk," the bird says. + +"Can you teach us your song?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, I can. Repeat after me," the bird says. + +The bird sings a line, and Sara and Ben sing it back. They do this until they learn the whole song. Then they sing it together with the bird. They have fun and laugh. The bird is happy too. It likes to make new friends. +Anna and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they want to do something new. They see a big ruler on the shelf. Anna has an idea. + +"Let's measure the furniture!" she says to Ben. + +"OK, how do we do that?" Ben asks. + +Anna takes the ruler and shows him.

The hole is too deep and too far. Lila is alone and sad. She wishes she listened to Ben. She wishes she stayed in the park. + +The end. +Tom is a shy boy who likes to play with his toy car. He does not like to share his toy car with other kids. He thinks his toy car is the best and he is the only owner. + +One day, he goes to the park with his mom and his toy car. He sees some kids playing with a ball. He wants to join them, but he is too shy to ask. He watches them from a distance and feels lonely. + +Then, he sees a girl who has a toy doll. She is also shy and does not play with the other kids. She sits on a bench and hugs her toy doll. Tom thinks her toy doll is pretty and he wants to see it. He walks over to her and says, "Hi, I like your toy doll. Can I see it?" + +The girl is surprised and scared. She does not know Tom and she does not want to give him her toy doll. She says, "No, this is my toy doll. Go away!" + +Tom feels angry and sad. He thinks the girl is mean and selfish. He says, "Fine, then I will take your toy doll. Give it to me!" + +He grabs the toy doll from the girl and tries to pull it away. The girl screams and holds on to her toy doll. They tug and tug until the toy doll breaks. The head falls off and the stuffing comes out. + +The girl cries and says, "You broke my toy doll! You are a bad boy!" + +Tom feels sorry and scared. He did not mean to break the toy doll. He says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to see it. Please don't be mad at me." + +But the girl is very mad at him. She runs to her mom and tells her what happened. Her mom is also mad at Tom and tells his mom. His mom is ashamed and angry. She says, "Tom, how could you do that? You have to apologize to the girl and give her your toy car. You have to learn to share and be nice to others." + +Tom does not want to give his toy car to the girl. He loves his toy car and he is the only owner. But he has no choice. He says, "I'm sorry, here is my toy car. I hope you like it." + +The girl takes his toy car and says, "Thank you, but I don't like your toy car. It is ugly and boring. I want my toy doll back." + +She throws his toy car on the ground and stomps on it. She breaks his toy car. The wheels fall off and the paint chips. + +Tom cries and says, "You broke my toy car! You are a bad girl!" + +But the girl does not care. She walks away with her mom and leaves him alone. Tom has no toy car and no friend. He feels very sad and lonely. + +The moral of the story is: You should not take things that are not yours. You should respect other people's belongings and feelings. You should share and be nice to others. You should not be shy and make friends. +Anna was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a white doll with long hair and a pink dress. She called her doll Lily and took her everywhere. + +One day, Anna and her mother went to the park. Anna brought Lily with her and put her on a swing. She pushed the swing and Lily flew high in the air. Anna was happy and laughed. + +But then, a big wind came and blew Lily away. Anna was scared and ran after her doll. She saw Lily fly over the fence and land in a big tree. Anna tried to climb the fence, but it was too high. She could not reach Lily. She started to cry. + +"Mommy, mommy, help me!" Anna shouted. "Lily is in the tree!" + +Her mother heard her and came to her. She saw Lily in the tree and hugged Anna. + +"Don't worry, sweetie, we will get Lily back," her mother said. "Let me try to get her." + +Her mother climbed the fence and walked to the tree. She reached up and tried to grab Lily, but she was too far. She struggled to get closer, but the branches were too thin. She could not get Lily. She came back to Anna. + +"I'm sorry, honey, I can't get Lily," her mother said. "She is too high. Maybe we can find someone who can help us." + +Anna was sad and hugged her mother. She looked at Lily in the tree and hoped someone would help them. She did not want to lose her favorite doll. She loved Lily very much. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many flowers and trees. Their dad gave them a hose to water the plants. He said, "You can work with me and help the plants grow. But be careful with the hose. Don't spray each other or the house." + +Tom and Sam nodded and took the hose. They had fun watering the flowers and the trees. They saw how the water made the plants happy and bright. They felt proud of their work. + +But then, Tom had a naughty idea. He said to Sam, "Let's play with the hose. It is mighty and can make big splashes. We can spray each other and run around. It will be fun." + +Sam was not sure. He said, "But dad told us not to do that. He said the hose is for the plants, not for us. And we might get wet and cold. And we might make a mess." + +Tom did not listen. He said, "Don't be a baby. It is just a game. Come on, I will spray you first." He turned the hose on Sam and laughed. + +Sam did not like it. He felt wet and cold and angry. He grabbed the hose from Tom and sprayed him back. They started to fight over the hose. They did not see that the water was going everywhere. It was spraying the house, the car, the dog, and the dad. + +The dad was not happy. He came out and saw the mess. He said, "What are you doing? You are wasting water and making a mess. You are not working with me, you are working against me. You are not being good brothers, you are being bad brothers. You are not using the hose for good, you are using it for bad." + +Tom and Sam felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We were playing with the hose. We did not mean to make a mess. We did not listen to you. We were being naughty." + +The dad said, "You need to learn to use the hose for good, not for bad. You need to listen to me and follow the rules. You need to work with me and help the plants grow. You need to be good brothers and share the hose. That is how you can have fun and be happy." + +Tom and Sam said, "We understand, dad. We will use the hose for good, not for bad. We will listen to you and follow the rules. We will work with you and help the plants grow. We will be good brothers and share the hose. Thank you for teaching us." + +The dad smiled and hugged them. He said, "You are welcome, my sons. I love you both. Now, let's go and dry off and clean up. And then, we can have some cookies and milk." + +Tom and Sam smiled and nodded. They learned their lesson. They used the hose for good, not for bad. They listened to their dad and followed the rules. They worked with their dad and helped the plants grow. They were good brothers and shared the hose. They had fun and were happy. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big round thing on the grass. It is red and shiny. They run to it. + +"What is it?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe a ball?" Anna says. + +They touch it. It is hard and cold. They push it. It does not move. + +"Let's open it!" Tom says. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be a trap!" Anna says. + +They look for a way to open it. They find a small hole on the side. Tom puts his finger in it. He feels a button. He presses it. + +Suddenly, the round thing opens. It makes a loud noise. It shoots out confetti and balloons. Tom and Anna jump back. They are scared. Then they see a sign on the round thing. It says: "Happy birthday, Tom and Anna! We love you!" + +Tom and Anna are surprised. They look at each other. They smile. They hear their parents and friends clapping and cheering. They run to them. They hug them. + +"Thank you! Thank you! This is the best surprise ever!" Tom and Anna say. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for worms and bugs. They had a big bucket to put their finds in. + +One day, they saw a shiny thing in the dirt. They dug it out and saw it was a ring. It had a red stone and some letters on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara said. "It's so pretty!" + +"Let me see!" Tom said. He grabbed the ring from Sara's hand. "It's mine!" + +"No, it's mine! I found it!" Sara said. They started to pull and tug on the ring. + +Suddenly, the ring slipped from their fingers and rolled away. It went into a hole in the ground. It was a drain. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Tom cried. They ran to the drain and looked inside. It was dark and wet and smelly. They could not see the ring. + +They heard a voice from the drain. It was unusual. It sounded like a frog. + +"Hello, children," the voice said. "Thank you for the ring. It's very nice. Do you want to trade?" + +Sara and Tom were scared. They did not know who was in the drain. They did not want to trade. They wanted their ring back. + +"Who are you?" Sara asked. + +"I'm a frog prince," the voice said. "I was cursed by a witch. If you kiss me, I will turn back into a human. And I will give you your ring back." + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They did not like the idea of kissing a frog. They did not believe he was a prince. They thought he was lying. + +"No, thank you," Tom said. "We don't want to kiss you. We want our ring back. Please give it to us." + +"Sorry, no can do," the voice said. "The ring is mine now. Unless you kiss me, you will never see it again." + +Sara and Tom felt sad and angry. They had discovered a beautiful ring, but they had lost it to a frog in a drain. They did not know what to do. They wished they had not fought over the ring. They wished they had shared it. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make funny dishes. They found a jar of olives in the cupboard and decided to use them. + +"Look, Ben, I have a nose!" Sara said, putting an olive on her nose. Ben laughed and did the same. + +"Me too, me too!" he said. "And I have ears!" He put two olives on his ears and wiggled them. Sara laughed and copied him. + +They had so much fun with the olives that they forgot about the time. They did not hear their mom calling them for dinner. + +"Where are Sara and Ben?" mom asked dad. "They should be hungry by now." + +Dad smiled and said, "Let's go and see what they are up to." + +They walked to the kitchen and saw Sara and Ben with olives all over their faces. They looked very silly and happy. + +"Hi, mom, hi, dad!" Sara and Ben said, waving their olive-covered hands. + +Mom and dad laughed and shook their heads. + +"You two are very creative, but also very messy," mom said. "And I bet you are very tired, too." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They were tired, but they had a lot of fun. + +"Can we have olives for dinner?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, why not?" dad said. "But first, you have to wash your faces and hands." + +Sara and Ben agreed and ran to the bathroom. They washed off the olives and came back to the table. They ate their dinner and thanked mom and dad for the olives. Then they went to bed and dreamed of more funny dishes. +Lily liked to drink milk from her pink cup. She drank milk every morning with her mom and dad. They lived in a modern house with big windows and a blue door. Lily had many toys and books in her room, but her favorite thing was her sock puppet. She called him Bobo and made him talk with a funny voice. + +One day, Lily wanted to show Bobo to her friend Max, who lived next door. She put Bobo on her hand and ran to the door. But she forgot to put on her shoes. She stepped on a wet spot on the floor and slipped. Her milk cup flew out of her other hand and landed on the couch. The milk spilled all over the couch and made a big mess. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Mom, dad, I'm sorry!" + +Her mom and dad came to see what happened. They saw Lily on the floor, the milk on the couch, and Bobo on her hand. They were not happy. + +"Lily, what did you do?" her mom asked. + +"I wanted to show Bobo to Max, but I slipped on the water and dropped my milk," Lily said. + +"Water? What water?" her dad asked. + +Lily looked at the floor and saw a small puddle. She followed the trail of water to the kitchen. There, she saw the sink overflowing with water. The faucet was open and the water was running. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried again. "I left the water on!" + +She remembered that she had tried to fill her cup with water before she changed her mind and got milk. She had forgotten to turn off the faucet. + +"Lily, you have to be more careful," her mom said. "You can't leave the water on. You can't run without shoes. You can't spill milk on the couch. You have to clean up your mess." + +Lily felt bad. She wanted to make her mom and dad happy. She wanted to play with Max and Bobo. She didn't want to make a mess. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, dad. I'll clean up. I'll be careful. I'll be good," Lily said. + +She got a towel and wiped the floor. She got another towel and wiped the couch. She turned off the faucet and emptied the sink. She put on her shoes and picked up her cup. She hugged Bobo and said, "Sorry, Bobo. We can't go to Max's house today. Maybe tomorrow." + +Her mom and dad smiled. They hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. We love you. You're a good girl. But next time, please don't drink milk on the couch." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, Sara's mom says they can visit Ben's house. Sara is happy. She likes Ben's house. It has many toys and books. + +They go to Ben's house. Ben shows Sara his new jug. It is big and blue. It can make bubbles. Ben says, "Look, Sara, this is my new jug. Do you want to try it?" Sara nods. She wants to try it. + +They go to the garden. Ben fills the jug with water and soap. He blows into the jug. Bubbles come out. They are round and shiny. Sara and Ben laugh. They try to catch the bubbles. They have fun. + +But then, Tom comes. Tom is Ben's brother. He is older and bigger. He sees the jug. He is envious. He wants the jug. He says, "Hey, that's my jug. Give it to me." He grabs the jug from Ben. Ben says, "No, Tom, it's mine. Mom gave it to me. Go away." Tom says, "No, it's mine. You are too little to play with it." He pushes Ben. Ben falls. He cries. + +Sara is angry. She says, "Stop, Tom, you are mean. You hurt Ben. Give him back his jug." She runs to Tom. She pulls the jug from him. She gives it to Ben. She says, "Here, Ben, this is your jug. Don't cry. I will help you." She hugs Ben. Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." Sara says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too." + +Tom is ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, Sara. I was wrong. I was envious. Can I play with you?" Ben and Sara look at him. They say, "OK, Tom, you can play with us. But you have to be nice. And you have to share." Tom nods. He says, "OK, I will be nice. And I will share." They all play with the jug. They make bubbles. They are happy. +Tom was a bald man who liked to play the piano. He played every day in his house, and sometimes he played for his friends. He played happy songs and sad songs, fast songs and slow songs. He loved the piano very much. + +One day, Tom had a big problem. His piano was broken. He tried to play, but it made a bad noise. He was very sad and angry. He called the piano man, but he said he was busy. He could not come until next week. Tom did not know what to do. + +He decided to go for a walk. He put on his hat and his coat and went outside. He saw the sun and the sky, the birds and the trees, the flowers and the bees. He felt the wind and the rain, the cold and the warm. He smelled the grass and the dirt, the bread and the cheese. He heard the cars and the bikes, the horns and the bells, the children and the dogs. He walked and walked, and he felt better. + +He came back to his house. He saw his piano. He still felt sad, but he was not angry anymore. He sat on his couch and took off his hat and his coat. He picked up a book and started to read. He read about a boy who went on an adventure. He read and read, and he felt happy. + +He decided to relax. He put down his book and closed his eyes. He thought about his piano. He knew the piano man would come soon and fix it. He knew he would play again and make beautiful music. He smiled and fell asleep. He dreamed of the piano. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their wagon. It was red and had four wheels. They could put toys or books or snacks in it and drive it around the yard. Sometimes they pretended it was a car or a train or a spaceship. + +One day, they saw a new wagon in the street. It was shiny and had a horn and a radio and a roof. It looked like a real car. A boy and a girl were driving it and having fun. + +"Wow, look at that wagon!" Tom said. "It is so cool. I wish we had one like that." + +Lily looked at their wagon and then at the new wagon. She felt sad. Their wagon seemed ordinary and boring. + +"Can we play with you?" Tom asked the boy and the girl. + +The boy and the girl looked at Tom and Lily and their wagon. They laughed. + +"No, you can't," the boy said. "Your wagon is old and ugly. You can't drive it like ours. Go away." + +Tom and Lily felt hurt. They turned around and walked back to their yard. They didn't want to play anymore. + +But then they heard a loud noise. They looked back and saw that the new wagon had crashed into a tree. The horn was broken and the radio was silent and the roof was bent. The boy and the girl were crying. + +Tom and Lily ran to help them. They asked if they were okay and if they needed a band-aid or a hug. + +The boy and the girl were surprised. They didn't expect Tom and Lily to be nice to them after they were mean to them. + +"Thank you," the girl said. "We are sorry we were rude to you. Your wagon is not old and ugly. It is nice and simple. Can we be friends?" + +Tom and Lily smiled. They said yes and invited them to play with their wagon. They shared their toys and books and snacks and had fun. They learned that it doesn't matter what kind of wagon you have, as long as you have good friends. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box, some ropes, and some fake jewels. They wanted to pretend they were pirates and find a treasure. + +"Look, I found a map!" Ben said, holding a piece of paper with some drawings on it. "It says we have to follow the arrows and dig under the X." + +"Let's go!" Anna said, excited. She picked up the box and tried to carry it, but it was too heavy. "Ben, help me!" + +Ben put down the map and helped Anna carry the box. They followed the arrows until they reached a big tree. There was an X on the ground. + +"Here it is!" Ben said. He grabbed a shovel and started to dig. Anna watched him and cheered. + +Soon, Ben hit something hard. He pulled it out and saw a wooden chest. He opened it and saw the fake jewels shining inside. + +"Wow, we found the treasure!" Anna said, clapping her hands. She reached for a necklace and put it around her neck. "Look how pretty!" + +Ben smiled and took a ring. He put it on his finger and said, "Look how shiny!" + +They played with the jewels for a while, then decided to hide them again. They put them back in the chest and buried it under the dirt. They tied a rope around the tree and made a knot. + +"This is our secret spot," Ben said. "We can come back anytime and play with the treasure." + +"OK," Anna said. "But don't tell anyone else. It's our secret." + +They nodded and hugged. Then they ran back to the house, happy and proud. +Lily liked to admire her spoon. It was shiny and smooth and had a pretty flower on the handle. She liked to hold it in her hand and look at her face in it. She felt happy when she saw her smile. + +One day, she took her spoon to the park with her mom. She wanted to show it to her friends. She saw Ben and Anna playing with a ball. She ran to them and said, "Look at my spoon! It is shiny and smooth and has a flower. Do you like it?" + +Ben and Anna looked at her spoon. They thought it was nice, but they liked their ball more. They said, "Your spoon is nice, but we like our ball. It is round and bouncy and has stripes. Do you want to play with us?" + +Lily felt sad. She wanted them to like her spoon as much as she did. She said, "No, thank you. I want to play with my spoon. It is my favorite thing." + +She walked away from them and sat on a bench. She held her spoon and admired it. She did not see the little girl who came up to her. The little girl said, "Hi, I am Mia. What is your name?" + +Lily looked up and saw Mia. Mia had curly hair and a pink dress. She smiled at Lily and said, "I like your spoon. It is shiny and smooth and has a flower. Can I see it?" + +Lily felt happy. She liked Mia. She said, "I am Lily. Thank you. You can see my spoon. It is my favorite thing." + +She gave her spoon to Mia. Mia held it and admired it. She said, "It is beautiful.

What do you want to play?" + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "Let's play pretend. We can use my spoon as a magic wand. We can make wishes and have fun." + +Mia liked the idea. She said, "That sounds fun. Let's do it." + +They took turns holding the spoon and pretending to make wishes. They wished for flowers, stars, rainbows, and candy. They laughed and had fun.

Do you want to play with my doll?" + +Lena said, "Yes, I do. Do you want to see my ball?" + +Mia said, "Yes, I do. Let's go." + +Lena and Mia held hands and ran to the playground. They played with the doll and the ball. They laughed and talked. They forgot their sadness for a while. They found a new friend in each other. +Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to new people.

I like your hat. It's very cute. Do you want to see my book? It has many pictures of animals," Mia said. + +Lily nodded. She liked animals. She looked at Mia's book. She saw a lion, a monkey, a giraffe, and a panda. She pointed at the panda. + +"I like pandas. They are soft and black and white," she said. + +"Me too. They are my favorite.

They became friends. They talked and laughed. Lily was not scared anymore. She was happy. She entered a new school with a new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Tom said. He put another block on top of his tower. "It is very high. It is higher than you!" + +Lily looked at Tom's tower. She wanted to make a bigger tower. She took some blocks from her house and added them to her tower. "Now my tower is higher than yours!" she said. She put another block on top of her tower. "It is higher than the chair!" + +Tom and Lily kept adding blocks to their towers. They wanted to make the highest towers ever. They used all the blocks they had. Their towers were higher than the table, higher than the lamp, higher than the door. + +"Wow, our towers are so high!" Tom said. "They are higher than everything!" + +"Yes, they are!" Lily said. "We are very good at building!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She came into the room and saw their towers. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You made a big mess! You used all the blocks! You have to clean up!" + +Tom and Lily looked at their mom. They looked at their towers. They felt sad. + +"But mom, we were having fun!" Tom said. "We were making our towers increase!" + +"Yes, mom, we were!" Lily said. "We wanted to see how high we could go!" + +Mom shook her head. She smiled a little. "I know, I know. You are very creative. But you also have to be tidy. You can't leave your blocks everywhere. You have to put them back in the box." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They loved their mom. They loved their blocks. They wanted to make her happy. + +"OK, mom, we will clean up," Tom said. + +"Yes, mom, we will," Lily said. + +They took their blocks from their towers and put them in the box. They made their towers smaller and smaller. They said goodbye to their towers. + +"Maybe we can build them again tomorrow," Tom said. + +"Yes, maybe we can," Lily said. + +They finished cleaning up.

It is a man with a big hat and a big spoon. He is making pizzas. He shouts, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" + +Anna and Ben are frightened. They do not know the man. They do not want to eat his pizzas. They want to go back to their mom and dad. They say, "Sorry, mister. We are looking for a restaurant. We are hungry.

That is a Hawaiian pizza. It is very tasty. Come, sit down. I will make you a pizza. But first, you have to call your mom and dad and tell them where you are. They must be worried about you." + +Anna and Ben nod. They find their phone and call their mom and dad. They tell them they are in a restaurant. They tell them they are going to eat a pizza. They tell them they are sorry for running away. They tell them they love them. + +Their mom and dad are happy. They are not angry. They are relieved. They say they love them too.

"Can we go closer and say hello?" + +"OK, but be quiet and gentle," Lily said. "We don't want to scare it." + +They walked slowly to the tree and smiled at the squirrel. The squirrel looked at them and made a soft noise. It seemed friendly. + +But then, a big dog came running to the tree. It barked loudly and jumped at the squirrel.

"The dog wants to hurt me!" + +Lily and Tom heard the squirrel and felt sorry for it. They wanted to help it. + +"Mom, mom, a dog is chasing a squirrel!" Lily shouted. "We have to rescue it!" + +Mom heard Lily and saw the dog and the squirrel. She ran to the dog and grabbed its collar. She pulled it away from the tree and said, "No, bad dog! Leave the squirrel alone!" + +The dog stopped barking and looked at mom. It wagged its tail and licked mom's hand. It was not a mean dog, just a playful one. But it did not know that the squirrel was not a toy. + +Mom took the dog to its owner, who was nearby. She said, "Please keep your dog on a leash. It almost hurt a squirrel." + +The owner said, "I'm sorry, I didn't see the squirrel. My dog is friendly, but he likes to chase things. I will be more careful next time." + +Mom said, "Thank you. Please be more careful." + +Mom went back to Lily and Tom, who were waiting by the tree. The squirrel was still on the branch, but it was not scared anymore. It picked up its nut and ate it. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the squirrel said to Lily and Tom. "You saved me from the dog. You are very kind and brave." + +Lily and Tom smiled and said, "You're welcome, squirrel. We are glad you are OK. We like you and your big tail and small ears." + +The squirrel smiled and said, "I like you too. You are good friends. Do you want to share my nut?" + +Lily and Tom said, "Yes, please.

Sometimes they found shiny stones, or pretty shells, or funny bugs. + +One day, Sara saw something glittering in the sun. She ran to it and picked it up. It was a necklace with a big glass bead. It looked like a rainbow. Sara was very happy. She said, "Look, Ben, I found a treasure! It is so beautiful!" + +Ben came over and looked at the necklace. He wanted it too. He said, "Give it to me, Sara. It is mine. I saw it first." He tried to grab it from Sara's hand. + +Sara did not want to share. She said, "No, Ben, it is mine. I picked it up. Go find your own treasure." She pulled the necklace away from Ben. + +But the necklace was fragile. It broke in half. The glass bead fell to the ground and shattered. Sara and Ben both gasped. They felt sad and sorry. They had lost their treasure. + +They looked at each other and realized they had been selfish and mean. They said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I'm sorry, Ben. We should have shared. We should have been kind." They hugged and made up. They decided to look for more treasure together. They learned that friendship is more precious than any treasure. +Ben was a painter. He liked to make pictures with colors. He had a big brush and a big bucket of blue paint. He wanted to paint his room blue, like the sky. + +He climbed on a chair and dipped his brush in the paint.

You can't splash paint on the wall. That's naughty. You have to clean it up." + +Ben felt sad. He did not want to clean up. He wanted to paint more. He said, "But Mommy, I like blue. It's pretty." + +Mommy said, "I know, Ben, but you can't paint the wall without asking. You have to use paper and a small brush. And you have to be careful not to spill the paint. Come on, let's get a cloth and some water." + +She took Ben's hand and led him to the bathroom. She filled a bucket with water and gave him a cloth. She said, "Now, you have to wipe the paint off the wall. It will take a long time, but you have to do it." + +Ben nodded and followed Mommy back to his room. He started to wipe the paint off the wall. It was hard work. He wished he had not splashed the paint. + +He heard a loud noise outside. He looked out the window and saw a big truck. It had a hose and a spray. It was spraying water on the street. It looked like fun. + +Ben said, "Mommy, look, a truck! It's splashing water!" + +Mommy looked out the window and saw the truck. She said, "Yes, Ben, that's a truck. It's washing the street. It's splashing water, but it's not making a mess. It's doing a good job." + +Ben said, "Can I splash water, too? Can I play with the truck?" + +Mommy said, "No, Ben, you can't play with the truck. It's not a toy. It's for grown-ups. And you have to finish cleaning the wall. Maybe later, we can go to the park and you can splash in the fountain. How does that sound?" + +Ben said, "OK, Mommy. I'll finish cleaning the wall. Then we can go to the park and splash in the fountain. That sounds fun." + +Mommy said, "Good, Ben. I'm proud of you. You're a good painter and a good helper. I love you." + +Ben said, "I love you, too, Mommy." He gave her a hug and went back to wiping the paint. He thought about the park and the fountain. He hoped they would go soon.

We will make you run away!" + +Tom and Lily ran towards the dragon with their swords and shields. The dragon tried to bite them, but they blocked his teeth with their shields. They hit him with their sticks, but he did not feel any pain. + +The dragon was not really a dragon. He was their dog, Rex. Rex liked to play with them, but he did not like to lose. He shook his head and wagged his tail. He jumped on Tom and Lily and licked their faces. + +"Stop, Rex, stop!" Lily said. "You are making us dizzy!" + +Rex did not stop. He was having fun. He rolled over and over with Tom and Lily. They laughed and screamed. They were dizzy, but they were happy. They were the best knights and dragons in the world. +Lily and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to build sand castles and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It was very shiny and had many flags. + +"Look, Tom, a boat!" Lily said. "Let's wave to them. Maybe they will wave back." + +"OK, Lily, let's wave." Tom said. They both lifted their arms and waved to the boat. They hoped the people on the boat would see them and be friendly. + +But the people on the boat did not wave back. They did not smile. They looked angry and weird. They had big guns and loud voices. They pointed at Lily and Tom and shouted something they did not understand. + +"Tom, I'm scared. What are they saying?" Lily asked. She felt a cold shiver in her tummy. + +"I don't know, Lily. I don't like them. They are mean." Tom said. He grabbed Lily's hand and tried to run away. + +But it was too late. The people on the boat jumped off and ran to the beach. They grabbed Lily and Tom and threw them into a sack. They carried them to the boat and sailed away. + +Lily and Tom cried and screamed. They had many questions, but no answers. They did not know where they were going or what would happen to them. They wished they had never waved to the boat.

Come with me. I will show you my house and my garden and my cat." + +The frog did not like the hug. He did not like the house or the garden or the cat. He wriggled and squirmed and tried to escape. He said, "Let me go, let me go. I want to go back to my pond. I do not want to be your friend." + +Lily was sad. She did not understand why the frog did not like her. She thought he was a friendly frog. She put him down and said, "I am sorry, frog. I did not mean to make you unhappy. You can go back to your pond. Maybe we can play another day." + +The frog hopped away and croaked. He was glad to be free. He did not want to play with Lily. He did not want to be her friend.

"The bird is sick. We fed it sugar. We are sorry." + +The park ranger sees the bird. He sees the box of sugar. He shakes his head. + +"Oh, no," he says. "You shouldn't feed sugar to birds.

He takes the box of sugar and puts it in the bag. He takes the bag and puts it on the bench. + +"I will take the bird to the vet," he says. "He will make the bird better. Don't worry, kids.

He feels bad and hugs Anna. + +"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to be careful. Some things are not for playing. They are for grown-ups only. Come on, let's go play something else.

He was so excited to find a university, because he had never seen one before. He climbed up to the door and knocked. + +"Hello! Is anyone there?" said Sam. + +No one answered. So Sam decided to go inside and explore. Sam found many large rooms with lots of books and chairs. He thought it was so cool. + +Suddenly, he heard some strange noises. He looked around to see what it was. It was a bunch of silly students running around and laughing. They were so loud, it made Sam laugh too. + +But then he noticed something else. Some of the students were really sad and crying. Sam asked them what was wrong. + +"We have to study too much and it makes us suffer," said one student. + +Sam didn't understand, but he started to feel sorry for them. He wanted to help, but he didn't know how. + +So Sam said goodbye and went home. As he went home, he felt a little bit sad. He wished he could have done something to help the students, but it was too late. He had to suffer too, as he watched the university fade away. +Once upon a time, there was a little fish who needed to find a place to live.

So, he tried to be friendly with the mean fish and asked if they could both live there. The mean fish thought about it and finally agreed. After that, the two fish became friends and lived happily together on the friendly shore. +Once there was a bear named John. He was a very honest bear and he wore a blue shirt each and every day.

Nice shirt!" + +Sue smiled, "Thank you!" + +John said, "Want a hug?" + +Sue was overjoyed and said, "Yes!" + +John got up and hugged Sue.

Don't you want to get there faster?" + +Max nodded eagerly and began walking faster. But then it happened! He stepped on a slippery patch and he started sliding.

A spark flew out of the fireplace and lit Bob's shirt on fire! He was so scared and started to cry. + +But then Bob's mum ran over and gave him a big hug. She quickly put out the fire and then the two of them sat together in the living room. + +Bob's mum reminded him about how dangerous the fireplace could be. She said if he ever does anything dangerous he needs to tell someone first. So then he could stay safe.

If you do something dangerous tell someone to help you stay safe. +Once upon a time there lived an angry plant who was very tired. He wanted to sleep, but he just couldn't get comfortable. He tried all kinds of things, but nothing worked. + +He moved around the garden but nothing helped him find a place to have a nap. Then he had an idea. He asked the kind sun to help him feel nice and sleepy. The sun smiled and with every ray of warm light, the angry plant felt sleepy. + +Soon he was snoring soundly and dreaming good dreams. He slept all day, even through the night and when he woke up in the morning, he felt much better. He wasn't angry anymore and waved good-bye to the sun. And they all lived happily ever after! +Jimmy was excited as his parents took him to the parade. He saw all sorts of things like huge musical instruments, horses and people wearing funny costumes. As the parade continued, Jimmy began to feel a little bit scared. He saw that the giant instruments and horses seemed a bit fragile. + +Suddenly, Jimmy's parents couldn't find him anymore. They started to panic, until they heard Jimmy's voice. + +"Look up!" shouted Jimmy. + +His parents saw that he had climbed up an old tree and was perched on one of its branches. + +"You can't escape this parade," shouted his father. + +Jimmy smiled, then slowly climbed down. His parents hugged him tightly, and Jimmy was happy to have escaped his little adventure! +Once upon a time there was an enormous desk, so big it almost touched the sky. On the desk was a pile of books. Everyday a little boy would come by and try to balance the books on top of the desk. + +One day, the little boy decided he wanted to try something new, so he tried to balance himself on the desk. He wobbled and wobbled trying to stay up, but he couldn't stay up for long and he fell down with a crash! All the books came tumbling down too. + +The little boy sighed and picked up the books, one by one. When he was done, he grinned.

With a satisfied nod he marched away, proud of his balance lesson. +Once upon a time, there was a fat little rabbit. He liked food very much! One day, he hopped up to a rail.
