The tube was big and yellow and Bubba thought it would be fun to play with. + +Bubba tried to fill the tube with water from the river, but it had a hole in it. The water kept coming out. Bubba was sad because he wanted to play with the tube. But then, his friend the squirrel came up with an idea. They found some leaves and put them inside the tube. The leaves filled up the hole and now Bubba could play with the tube all day long. + +Bubba and his friends had so much fun playing with the tube. They rolled it down the hill and even used it as a slide. Bubba was happy that he found the tube and even happier that his friend helped him fix it. From that day on, Bubba and his friends always looked for things to fill the tube with and play with together. +Once upon a time, there was a group of animals who lived in a forest. They were all friends and liked to play together. One day, it started to rain very hard. The animals got scared and ran to find shelter. But one little rabbit was left behind. + +The other animals noticed the rabbit was missing and went back to find him. They saw him shivering in the rain and knew they had to help him. They huddled together and made a roof with their bodies to keep the rabbit dry. + +It was an important moment for the group of animals because they learned that helping each other was the right thing to do. From that day on, they always stuck together and never left anyone behind in the rain again. +Once upon a time, there was a big garden with many flowers. One day, a little flower was sad because it did not bloom like the others. It wanted to be pretty like them. + +An elderly woman came to the garden and saw the sad little flower. She put a collar around it and said, "You are special, just like this collar. You will bloom when it is your time." + +The little flower was happy and waited patiently. But then, a big wind came and blew all the flowers around. The little flower was scared and thought it would never bloom. + +But the collar kept it safe and the little flower finally bloomed. It was the prettiest flower in the garden. The other flowers were happy for the little flower and the elderly woman smiled. +Anna and Ben were going on a trip with their grandma. They were very happy to see new places and have fun. But they hated to pack their luggage. They had to put their clothes, toys, books and snacks in big bags. It was hard to close them and carry them. + +"Anna, Ben, hurry up! We have to go to the airport soon!" Grandma called from downstairs. She was elderly and had a cane. She could not help them with their luggage. + +"Grandma, we are almost done!" Anna shouted back. She tried to zip her bag, but it was too full. She looked at Ben. He was sitting on his bag, hoping to make it smaller. + +"Ben, you can't take all your cars and trucks. You have to leave some at home. There is no space in your bag!" Anna said. + +"But I love them! I want to play with them on the trip!" Ben said. He did not want to give up his toys. + +"Ben, please. We have to go. Grandma is waiting. And you can play with other things on the trip. Maybe you can see real cars and trucks!" Anna said. She took some of his toys and put them in a box. + +"No, no, no! Give them back! They are mine!" Ben cried. He grabbed the box and pulled it. Anna pulled it too. They started to fight. + +"Anna! Ben! Stop it! What are you doing?" Grandma came upstairs. She saw them fighting over the box. She was angry and sad. + +"Grandma, Ben is being selfish! He wants to take all his toys and there is no room in his bag!" Anna said. + +"Grandma, Anna is being mean! She wants to take away my toys and I love them!" Ben said. + +"Anna, Ben, listen to me. You are both being silly. You can't take everything you want on the trip. You have to share and be nice. And you have to respect your luggage. It is not a toy. It is for your things. If you break it or lose it, you will have trouble. Do you understand?" Grandma said. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting. They nodded. + +"Yes, Grandma. We understand. We are sorry." They said. + +"Good. Now, let's pack your luggage properly. And then, let's go and have a wonderful trip!" Grandma said. She smiled and hugged them. Anna and Ben smiled too. They hugged her back. They did not hate their luggage anymore. They loved their grandma. +Tim and Sue wanted to play in the sand. They took their spades and buckets and ran to the big hill. The hill had a lot of sand and rocks. It looked like fun. + +"Let's climb the hill and make a castle!" Tim said. + +"OK!" Sue said. They started to climb the hill with their spades and buckets. They dug some sand and put it in their buckets. + +But the hill was very steep and slippery. Tim and Sue had to be careful not to fall. They held on to their spades and buckets. + +Suddenly, Tim saw a shiny rock. He wanted to have it. He let go of his spade and reached for the rock. + +"Tim, don't!" Sue shouted. "You will fall!" + +But Tim did not listen. He grabbed the rock and smiled. He thought he was clever. + +But then he lost his balance. He slipped and rolled down the hill. He dropped his rock and his bucket. He got sand in his eyes and mouth. He cried. + +Sue watched him and shook her head. She thought he was foolish. She climbed down the hill and helped him. She gave him some water and a hug. + +"Tim, you should not let go of your spade. You could have hurt yourself. And the rock was not worth it. It was just a rock." Sue said. + +"I'm sorry, Sue. You are right. I was foolish. I should have listened to you. Can we still play?" Tim said. + +"Of course we can. But let's play on the flat ground. It is safer and easier. And we can still make a castle." Sue said. + +They took their spades and buckets and went to the flat ground. They dug some sand and made a castle. They had fun. They learned their lesson. They were happy. +Anna loved to bounce on her bed. She liked how it made her feel high and happy. She bounced every morning and every night, even when her mom told her to stop. + +One day, she bounced too hard and too fast. She flew off her bed and hit her head on the wardrobe. It hurt a lot and made a loud noise. She started to cry and hold her head. + +Her mom heard the noise and ran to her room. She saw Anna on the floor and the wardrobe with a dent. She was angry and scared. She said in a harsh voice, "Anna, what did you do? You could have hurt yourself badly. How many times have I told you not to bounce on your bed?" + +Anna felt sorry and scared. She said in a small voice, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to have fun. I didn't mean to break the wardrobe or hurt my head." + +Her mom sighed and hugged her. She said in a softer voice, "I know, honey. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Bouncing on your bed is not safe or good for your bed or your wardrobe. Why don't you bounce on this ball instead? It's much more fun and less dangerous." + +She gave Anna a big, colorful ball that she had bought for her birthday. Anna smiled and thanked her mom. She liked the ball and how it bounced. She decided to bounce on the ball from now on and not on her bed. She learned her lesson and was happy. +Anna likes to ride her bike. She rides fast and slow, up and down, around and around. She has a bell on her bike that goes ding-ding. She likes to ring it when she sees her friends. + +One day, she rides to the park with her mom. She sees a tall man with a big basket. He has many red things in his basket. Anna is curious. She stops her bike and asks, "What are those?" + +The tall man smiles and says, "These are tomatoes. They are fruits that you can eat. They are juicy and sweet. Do you want to try one?" + +Anna nods. She likes to try new things. The tall man gives her a tomato. Anna bites it. It is soft and wet. She likes it. She says, "Thank you. It is yummy." + +The tall man says, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. I grow tomatoes in my garden. I sell them at the market. Do you like to grow things?" + +Anna says, "Yes, I do. I have a flower pot at home. I grow sunflowers. They are yellow and bright. They make me happy." + +The tall man says, "That's wonderful. Sunflowers are beautiful. They need sun and water to grow. Just like tomatoes. Maybe you can grow tomatoes too someday." + +Anna says, "Maybe. That would be fun. Thank you for the tomato. I have to go now. Bye-bye." + +The tall man says, "Bye-bye. Have a nice ride." + +Anna waves and rides away. She rings her bell and smiles. She likes tomatoes. She likes the tall man. She likes to ride her bike. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. They had a big stick for a sword and a blanket for a cape. + +"Look, Ben, a dragon!" Lily said, pointing to a hill. She saw a big green shape with wings and a tail. + +"Let's go and fight it!" Ben said, holding his stick. He was not afraid of dragons. + +They ran to the hill, but when they got closer, they saw that the dragon was not real. It was a kite that someone had left on the grass. + +"Aw, it's just a kite," Ben said, feeling sad. + +"Maybe we can take it and fly it," Lily said, feeling curious. She picked up the kite and tried to make it fly. + +But the kite did not fly. It was broken. One of the wings was torn and the string was tangled. + +"Uh-oh, this kite is bad," Lily said, feeling sorry. + +Just then, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a real dragon. It was bigger and scarier than the kite. It had sharp teeth and claws and fire in its mouth. It was hungry and it wanted to eat them. + +"Help, help, a dragon!" Lily and Ben shouted, feeling scared. + +They dropped the kite and ran away as fast as they could. The dragon chased them, but it was too slow and clumsy. It tripped over the kite and fell down. + +"Ha, ha, the kite saved us!" Ben said, feeling happy. + +"Let's go home and tell mom and dad," Lily said, feeling tired. + +They ran back to the park gate, where their parents were waiting for them. They told them about the dragon and the kite. Their parents smiled and hugged them. + +"You are very brave and clever," they said, feeling proud. + +They went home and had a big dinner. They were not hungry anymore. They dreamed of dragons and kites. They were happy. +Tim and Jen like to play in the park. They like to run, slide and swing. They also like to look for rocks. They find big rocks, small rocks, round rocks and flat rocks. They put the rocks in a bucket. + +One day, they see a fat squirrel in a tree. The squirrel has a nut in its mouth. Tim and Jen want to give the squirrel a rock. They think the squirrel will like it. They pick a shiny rock from the bucket. + +Tim says, "I will bring the rock to the squirrel." He holds the rock in his hand. He walks to the tree. He looks up. The squirrel is still there. Tim says, "Hello, squirrel. Do you want a rock?" + +The squirrel sees Tim. It sees the rock. It does not like the rock. It thinks the rock is bad. It drops the nut. It makes a loud noise. It runs away. + +Tim is sad. He says, "The squirrel does not want the rock. The squirrel is scared of the rock." He drops the rock. He goes back to Jen. + +Jen says, "It's OK, Tim. The squirrel likes nuts, not rocks. We can keep the rocks. We can make a rock castle." She smiles. She gives Tim a hug. + +Tim and Jen are happy. They use the rocks to make a castle. They play with the castle. They forget about the squirrel. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing near the sea. They liked to look at the big waves and the birds. They saw a cliff that was very high and had many rocks. Lily wanted to climb the cliff and see what was on top. Ben was scared and said no. + +"Please, Ben, come with me. It will be fun. Maybe we will find something original, like a treasure or a dinosaur," Lily said. + +"No, Lily, it is too dangerous. The cliff is too high and too steep. We might fall and hurt ourselves. And what if the waves come and wash us away? We should stay here and play with the sand and the shells," Ben said. + +Lily was not happy. She wanted to have an adventure. She did not listen to Ben. She ran to the cliff and started to climb. Ben shouted at her to stop, but she did not reply. She kept climbing higher and higher. + +Ben was very worried. He did not want to lose his friend. He ran to the cliff and tried to follow her. He was not good at climbing. He slipped and scraped his knee. He cried out in pain. Lily heard him and looked down. She saw Ben bleeding and crying. She felt sorry for him. She realized she had been silly and selfish. She climbed down as fast as she could. She hugged Ben and said sorry. + +"It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you are safe. But please don't do that again. It was too scary. Let's go back to our parents and get a band-aid for my knee. And maybe some ice cream," Ben said. + +Lily agreed. She learned her lesson. She decided to play with Ben and not go near the cliff again. They walked back to their parents, holding hands. They were still friends. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, it was very hot and they wanted to drink some water. They saw a big bottle of water on a table near the park. It looked cool and fresh. + +"Let's go and drink some water," Lily said. "We are very thirsty." + +But Tom had a naughty idea. He wanted to tease Lily and make her run. He grabbed the bottle and ran away with it. + +"Hey, give it back!" Lily shouted. "That's not fair!" + +Tom laughed and said, "Catch me if you can! This water is only for me!" + +He ran and ran, but he did not see a big rock on the ground. He tripped and fell, and the bottle flew out of his hand. It landed on the grass and broke. The water spilled everywhere. + +Tom and Lily were both sad. They had no water to drink, and they were still very hot. They also had scratches and bruises from the fall. + +A kind lady saw what happened and came to help them. She had a small bottle of water in her bag. She gave it to Tom and Lily and said, "Here, you can share this water. It's not much, but it's available. Next time, don't tease each other and be careful where you run. Water is precious and you should not waste it." + +Tom and Lily thanked the lady and drank the water. They felt better and learned their lesson. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to be nice and share from then on. +Tom was hungry. He wanted to buy a cookie from the store. But he had no money. He looked in his pockets. He found a penny. He was happy. + +He ran to the store. He saw the cookies. They looked yummy. He gave the penny to the lady. She shook her head. She said, "Sorry, you need more money. A penny is not enough." + +Tom was sad. He wanted a cookie so much. He walked away. He saw a man. The man was playing a guitar. He was singing a song. Tom liked the song. He stopped and listened. + +The man saw Tom. He smiled. He said, "Hello, little boy. Do you like my song?" Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. It is a nice song." The man said, "Thank you. You have a good ear. Do you want to try my guitar?" Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, please." + +The man gave Tom his guitar. He showed him how to hold it. He said, "You can play any notes you want. Just have fun." Tom strummed the guitar. He made some sounds. He liked the sounds. He felt happy. + +The man encouraged Tom. He said, "You are doing great. You have a talent. Keep playing. You will get better and better." Tom smiled. He played more. He felt proud. + +Some people walked by. They heard Tom playing. They liked his music. They stopped and listened. They clapped and cheered. They gave Tom some money. Tom was surprised. He said, "Thank you. Thank you very much." + +The man said, "You see, little boy. You have a gift. You can make people happy with your music. You can earn money with your music. You can buy anything you want with your money. Even a cookie." + +Tom looked at the money. He had more than enough. He said, "Wow. You are right. I can buy a cookie. But I don't want to buy a cookie anymore. I want to buy something else." + +The man said, "What do you want to buy, little boy?" Tom said, "I want to buy a guitar. Like yours. I want to play more music. Like you. I want to be like you." + +The man was touched. He said, "You are a sweet boy. You have a big heart. You can be anything you want. You can be like me. Or better than me. I will help you. I will teach you. I will be your friend." + +Tom was happy. He hugged the man. He said, "Thank you. Thank you very much. You are my friend. You are the best." + +The end. +Anna and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. They had a big garden with many flowers and trees. They also had a small patch where they grew some vegetables, like carrots and lettuce. Their favorite vegetable was the pumpkin, because it was big and round and orange. They liked to make faces on the pumpkins and pretend they were their friends. + +One day, their mother told them that they could pick one pumpkin each for Halloween. They were very happy and ran to the garden. They looked at all the pumpkins and tried to find the best ones. Anna saw a huge pumpkin that was almost as big as her. She thought it would make a great lantern. She ran to it and tried to lift it, but it was too heavy. She asked Ben to help her. + +Ben was looking at a smaller pumpkin that had a funny shape. He thought it would make a funny face. He liked it very much. He heard Anna calling him and turned around. He saw the huge pumpkin and said, "Wow, that's a big pumpkin! Do you want it?" + +"Yes, please help me take it to the house. It's too heavy for me," Anna said. + +Ben hesitated. He wanted to keep the smaller pumpkin, but he also wanted to help his sister. He remembered that their mother always told them to share and be kind to each other. He decided to help Anna. He said, "OK, let's take it together. But can I have the smaller pumpkin? I like it too." + +Anna smiled. She said, "Sure, you can have it. Thank you for helping me. You are a good brother." + +They lifted the big pumpkin together and carried it to the house. Their mother was waiting for them. She praised them for their choice and said, "You have picked two beautiful pumpkins. I'm proud of you for working together and sharing. Now let's clean them and carve them." + +They followed their mother to the kitchen. They washed the pumpkins and cut off the tops. They scooped out the seeds and the pulp. They were surprised when they saw what was inside the big pumpkin. It was rotten and spoiled. It smelled bad and had worms and bugs in it. They felt sick and dropped the pumpkin. It splashed on the floor and made a mess. + +They looked at the smaller pumpkin. It was fresh and sweet. It had no worms or bugs in it. It smelled good and looked happy. They felt happy too. They said, "We like this pumpkin better. It's not spoiled. It's perfect." + +Their mother nodded. She said, "Sometimes, the biggest things are not the best things. Sometimes, the smallest things are the most precious things. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Don't judge a book by its cover. Don't be greedy or selfish. Be grateful and generous. That's what makes you happy." + +Anna and Ben hugged their mother. They said, "We're sorry for the mess. We're glad for the lesson. We love you, Mom." + +They cleaned up the mess and carved the smaller pumpkin. They made a funny face on it and put a candle inside. They placed it on the porch and admired it. It glowed in the dark and smiled at them. It reminded them of their love and their joy. They were happy. +Tommy was a humble boy who liked to help his dad with the farm. One day, his dad asked him to introduce the new chickens to the old ones. Tommy was happy to do it, because he loved animals. + +He took a basket of corn and a ladder and went to the chicken coop. He climbed the ladder and opened the door to the new chickens. They were white and fluffy and made funny noises. Tommy smiled and said, "Hello, new chickens. I am Tommy. I will be your friend. Come, I will show you the old chickens. They are nice too." + +He threw some corn on the ground and waited for the new chickens to follow him. He climbed down the ladder and walked to the other side of the coop, where the old chickens were. They were brown and speckled and made loud noises. Tommy said, "Hello, old chickens. I am Tommy. I am your friend. Look, I brought you some new friends. They are white and fluffy and make funny noises. Be nice to them, please." + +He threw some more corn on the ground and hoped the chickens would get along. But he did not know that the old chickens were jealous and mean. They did not like the new chickens. They did not like Tommy. They wanted all the corn for themselves. + +They pecked and scratched and chased the new chickens. They pecked and scratched and chased Tommy. They made him cry and run away. They knocked over the ladder and blocked the door. They trapped Tommy and the new chickens in the coop. They did not let them out. + +Tommy was scared and sad. He wished his dad would come and save him. He wished he never introduced the new chickens to the old ones. He wished he never climbed the ladder. He wished he was humble no more. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big red truck with a loud siren. It was a fire truck, and it had a cop and a fireman inside. The twins ran to the truck and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Can we look at your truck?" Sam asked the cop. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't touch anything that is hot or sharp," the cop said. + +The cop and the fireman got out of the truck and went to help a lady who had a fire in her kitchen. Sam and Mia climbed into the truck and looked around. They saw a lot of buttons, levers, and hoses. They also saw a big metal box with a lock on it. + +"I wonder what's in there," Mia said. + +"Let's find out," Sam said. He poked the lock with his finger, but it did not open. He poked it harder, but it still did not open. He poked it with a stick, but it only made a loud clang. + +"Stop it, Sam. You might break it," Mia said. + +But Sam did not listen. He poked the lock with a rock, and it finally opened. Inside the box, there was a big jar of red sauce. Sam and Mia did not know what it was, but it smelled good. + +"Maybe it's candy," Sam said. + +"Let's try it," Mia said. + +They opened the jar and dipped their fingers in the sauce. They put the sauce in their mouths and then they screamed. The sauce was very spicy and it burned their tongues. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It's hot, it's hot!" Sam and Mia cried. + +They ran out of the truck and looked for water. They saw a fountain and ran to it. They drank the water and rinsed their mouths. They felt better, but they were still very sorry. + +The cop and the fireman came back and saw the twins. They saw the open box and the jar of sauce. They were very angry. + +"What did you do?" the cop asked. + +"We're sorry, we're sorry. We thought it was candy, but it was spicy," Sam and Mia said. + +"That's not candy, that's pepper spray. It's for bad guys, not for kids. You could have hurt yourselves or someone else. You should never poke things that are not yours," the cop said. + +"We're sorry, we're sorry. We won't do it again," Sam and Mia said. + +The cop and the fireman took the twins to their mom and dad. They told them what happened and gave them a lecture. Sam and Mia felt very ashamed and apologized to everyone. They learned their lesson and never poked things that were not theirs again. + +The moral of the story is: Don't poke things that are not yours. You might get into trouble or get hurt. Respect other people's property and be careful. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big panda in a cage. The panda looked sad and lonely. + +"Let's go and say hello to the panda," Lily said. "Maybe we can make him happy." + +"No, no, no," Tom said. "The panda is scary and dangerous. He might bite us or scratch us. We should stay away from him." + +Lily was not afraid of the panda. She thought he was cute and fluffy. She wanted to be his friend. + +"I dare you to go and touch the panda," Lily said to Tom. "If you do, I will give you my candy." + +Tom liked candy. He wanted to prove that he was brave. He agreed to the dare. + +He walked slowly towards the cage. He reached out his hand to touch the panda. The panda saw him and growled. He was angry and hungry. He did not like strangers. + +The panda grabbed Tom's hand with his paw. He pulled him into the cage. He bit him hard. Tom screamed and cried. Lily was shocked and scared. She ran to get help. + +But it was too late. The panda had hurt Tom badly. He did not let go of him. Tom was bleeding and in pain. He wished he had listened to Lily and stayed away from the panda. + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She wished she had not dared him to touch the panda. She wished she had been more generous and shared her candy with him. She learned a hard lesson. She never played with dares again. +Lily 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 coal eyes. They named him Frosty. + +"Hello, Frosty!" Lily said. "You are our friend. We will play with you every day." + +"Yes, we will," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. The sun is very bright. It can make you melt." + +Frosty smiled. He liked Lily and Tom. They were very kind. But he was also scared. He did not want to melt. He wanted to stay with them. + +One day, the sun was very hot. Lily and Tom went inside to have lunch. Frosty felt very warm. He saw a big puddle under his feet. He was melting! + +"Oh no!" Frosty said. "I have to escape. I have to find a cold place." + +He looked around. He saw a sled near the fence. He had an idea. He jumped on the sled and pushed it with his feet. The sled started to move. It went down the hill. It went very fast. It made a zoom sound. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Frosty said. "This is fun. But where am I going?" + +He saw a big lake at the bottom of the hill. The lake was icy. It was frozen. Frosty was happy. He thought he would be safe there. + +But he was wrong. The ice was thin. It could not hold his weight. When he reached the lake, the ice cracked. Frosty fell into the water. He felt very cold. He felt very wet. He felt very sad. + +"Help, help, help!" Frosty said. "I made a mistake. I want to go back. I want to see Lily and Tom." + +But no one heard him. No one saw him. He sank into the water. He disappeared. + +Lily and Tom came back from lunch. They looked for Frosty. They saw the sled near the lake. They saw the hole in the ice. They knew what happened. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "Frosty is gone. He escaped. He melted." + +"That's so sad," Tom said. "We loved him. He was our friend." + +They hugged each other. They cried. They learned a lesson. They learned that sometimes it is better to stay where you are. They learned that sometimes escaping is not the answer. They learned that sometimes you lose what you love. +Ben and Lily are twins who like to play with their toys. They have many toys of different shapes, colors and sizes. Sometimes they make a mess and their mom asks them to sort their toys. Sorting means putting the same kind of toys together in a box or a basket. + +One day, Ben and Lily decide to sort their toys in a new way. They want to see who has more muscle. Muscle is what makes you strong and able to lift heavy things. They each take a big box and start putting their toys inside. They try to find the heaviest toys they have, like cars, trucks, balls and books. + +"Look, Lily, I have more muscle than you!" Ben says, as he lifts his box with both hands. "My box is heavier than yours!" + +"No, Ben, I have more muscle than you!" Lily says, as she lifts her box with one hand. "My box is heavier than yours!" + +They both walk to the living room, where their mom is sitting on the couch. They want to show her their boxes and see who has more muscle. But as they walk, they don't see the rug on the floor. They trip over the rug and fall down. Their boxes spill over and their toys scatter everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Lily say together. "We made a mess!" + +Their mom gets up and helps them stand up. She sees their toys all over the floor. She is not angry, but she is surprised. + +"What were you doing, Ben and Lily?" she asks. + +"We were sorting our toys, mom," Ben says. + +"We wanted to see who has more muscle, mom," Lily says. + +Their mom smiles and hugs them. She thinks they are very adventurous. Adventurous means liking to try new things and have fun. + +"That's very creative, Ben and Lily," she says. "But maybe next time, you can sort your toys by shape or color or size. That way, you won't make such a big mess." + +"Okay, mom," Ben and Lily say. "We're sorry for the mess." + +They help their mom pick up their toys and put them back in their boxes. They sort them by shape or color or size. They still have fun, but they also learn to be tidy. They are happy and proud of their toys and their muscle. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is very cold. They see snow on the ground and in the air. + +"Let's make a snowman!" Sara says. "It will be fun!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "But we need a plan. How do we make a snowman?" + +Sara thinks. She is smart. She says, "We need three big balls of snow. One for the head, one for the body, and one for the bottom. We also need a hat, a scarf, a carrot, and some rocks." + +"Good plan!" Ben says. "Let's go!" + +They work hard. They roll the snow into balls. They stack them up. They find a hat, a scarf, a carrot, and some rocks. They put them on the snowman. + +"Look!" Sara says. "We made a snowman! He is big and nice!" + +"Yes!" Ben says. "He is great! But he looks cold. Let's give him a hug!" + +They hug the snowman. They feel happy. They are good friends. They have a good plan. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today is a sunny day. They want to go to the park. + +"Mom, can we go to the park?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, you can. But first, you need to put on your pants," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben run to their room. They look for their pants. Anna finds a pair of pink pants. She likes pink. She thinks they are pretty. She puts them on. + +Ben finds a pair of blue pants. He likes blue. He thinks they are cool. He puts them on. + +"Look, Mom, we are ready!" Anna and Ben say. + +Mom smiles. She thinks they are cute. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +"Have fun at the park. But don't spend too much time in the sun. Wear your hats and drink water," Mom says. + +"OK, Mom. We will. Bye!" Anna and Ben say. + +They take their hats and water bottles. They hold hands. They walk to the park. They are happy. They spend a lot of time playing on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They make new friends. They have a lot of fun. They love their pants. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with shapes. They have a box of shapes. They have circles, squares, triangles and stars. + +One day, they want to make a picture with shapes. They have paper and glue. They look at the box of shapes. Tom sees a triangle. He likes triangles. He says, "I want this triangle. It is yellow and big." + +Mia sees the triangle too. She likes triangles too. She says, "I want this triangle too. It is yellow and big." + +Tom and Mia both want the same triangle. They start to pull the triangle. They are not happy. They are angry. + +Lily is their teacher. She sees Tom and Mia. She says, "What is wrong, Tom and Mia? Why are you angry?" + +Tom and Mia say, "We both want this triangle. It is yellow and big. We like triangles." + +Lily says, "I see. Triangles are nice. But you have many shapes. You have circles, squares, stars and more triangles. Why don't you share the shapes? You can make a picture together. You can use the yellow and big triangle and other shapes too. Sharing is kind. Kind friends are happy friends." + +Tom and Mia think. They say, "You are right, Lily. Sharing is kind. We can make a picture together. We can use the yellow and big triangle and other shapes too. We are sorry. We are kind friends. We are happy friends." + +Tom and Mia smile. They hug. They share the shapes. They make a picture together. They use the yellow and big triangle and other shapes too. Their picture is beautiful. They are proud. They show their picture to Lily. Lily says, "Wow, Tom and Mia. Your picture is beautiful. You are kind friends. You are happy friends. I am proud of you." +Sam liked to measure things with his ruler. He measured his toys, his books, his bed, and even his cat. He wanted to know how big everything was. One day, he decided to measure his mom. He asked her to lie down on the couch and he started to measure her feet, her legs, her arms, and her head. His mom smiled and said, "This feels like a nice massage, Sam. Thank you." + +Sam was happy that his mom liked his measuring. He wanted to measure her hair too, but it was too long for his ruler. He looked around and saw his dad's scissors on the table. He thought, "Maybe I can cut some of her hair and measure it." He grabbed the scissors and ran to the couch. + +His mom did not see him coming. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage. She did not hear the snip, snip, snip of the scissors. She did not feel the hair falling on her face. She did not know that Sam was cutting her hair very short. + +When Sam finished, he was proud of his work. He measured the hair he cut and said, "Wow, mom, your hair was very long. Now it is very short. Look, I measured it for you." He showed her the ruler and the hair. + +His mom opened her eyes and screamed. She saw her hair on the couch and on the floor. She saw her son holding the scissors and the ruler. She saw her reflection in the mirror and saw how short her hair was. She was very angry and very sad. She said, "Sam, what did you do? You ruined my hair. This is very bad. This is very scary. Go to your room right now." + +Sam was confused and scared. He did not understand why his mom was so mad. He did not mean to hurt her. He just wanted to measure her hair. He dropped the scissors and the ruler and ran to his room. He cried and wished he never measured his mom. He wished he never saw the scissors. He wished he could make his mom happy again. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play outside in the sun. The sun was bright and warm. It made everything shine. Tom and Lily liked to shine too. They wore yellow hats and shirts. + +One day, they saw a big rainbow in the sky. It had many colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Tom and Lily ran to the rainbow. They wanted to touch it. + +"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Tom said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "Do you think we can find a pot of gold at the end?" + +"Maybe, let's go and see!" Tom said. + +They followed the rainbow across the field. They saw flowers, birds, and butterflies. They sang and laughed. They were very cheerful. + +But when they reached the end of the rainbow, they did not see a pot of gold. They saw a big tree. The tree had green leaves and red apples. It also had a sign. The sign said: "Happy New Year!" + +Tom and Lily were confused. They did not know what a year was. They asked the tree. + +"Hello, tree. What is a year?" Tom asked. + +"Hello, children. A year is a long time. It is when the sun goes around the earth four times. It is when the seasons change. It is when you grow older and learn new things." The tree said. + +"Wow, that sounds amazing!" Lily said. "But why do you say happy new year?" + +"Because today is the first day of a new year. It is a special day. It is a day to celebrate and be grateful. It is a day to make wishes and hope for the best. It is a day to be cheerful." The tree said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They liked the tree. They liked the new year. They hugged the tree and thanked it. + +"Happy new year, tree!" Tom said. + +"Happy new year, children!" The tree said. + +Tom and Lily picked some apples and shared them with the tree. They ate and talked. They watched the rainbow fade. They saw the sun set. They saw the stars come out. They saw the moon shine. They felt happy and peaceful. They had a wonderful day. They had a wonderful new year. +Anna and Ben liked to play with blocks. They built many structures with different shapes and colors. Sometimes they made houses, sometimes towers, sometimes bridges. They had fun and learned a lot. + +One day, they wanted to build a big castle. They used all their blocks and worked hard. They made walls, windows, doors, and a flag. They were proud of their structure. They showed it to their mom and dad. + +"Wow, what a wonderful castle!" mom said. "You did a great job, Anna and Ben!" + +"Thank you, mom!" Anna and Ben said. + +"Can we go outside and play now?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but remember to clean up your blocks when you come back," dad said. + +"OK, dad!" Anna and Ben said. + +They put on their coats and shoes and ran outside. They played with their ball, their bike, and their swing. They had fun and forgot about their castle. + +Then it started to rain. The rain was heavy and wet. It made everything wet and muddy. Anna and Ben ran back inside. They took off their coats and shoes and dried themselves with a towel. + +They wanted to see their castle again. They went to their room and looked at their structure. But it was not the same. The rain had made the blocks wet and soft. The walls had fallen, the windows had broken, the doors had bent, and the flag had torn. Their structure was ruined. + +"Oh no, our castle!" Anna cried. + +"What happened?" Ben asked. + +"The rain did this," mom said. "It made your blocks wet and weak. They could not hold your structure anymore." + +"That's not fair!" Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Anna and Ben," mom said. "But you can learn from this. Next time, you should put your blocks away when you are done playing. Or you should build your structure somewhere dry, like under a table or a bed. Then the rain will not hurt it." + +Anna and Ben felt sad and sorry. They realized they had made a mistake. They had not listened to their dad. They had not cleaned up their blocks. They had not protected their structure. + +They hugged their mom and said, "We're sorry, mom. We will do better next time. We will improve our structure and our habits. We will listen to you and dad. We will put our blocks away when we are done playing. We will build our structure somewhere dry. We will be more careful and responsible." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Anna and Ben. I'm proud of you. You are growing up and learning. You can still have fun and be creative, but you also have to be mindful and respectful. That's how you can make good structures and good choices." + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +They hugged their mom again and started to clean up their blocks. They decided to build a new castle tomorrow, somewhere dry and safe. They hoped the rain would stop and the sun would shine. They were happy and hopeful. +Sara and Ben are playing a game with cards. They have to match the cards with the same number or picture. Sara has a card with a big zero on it. She looks for another card with a zero, but she cannot find one. + +"Where is the other zero?" Sara asks Ben. "Did you hide it?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, I did not hide it. Maybe it is under the pile." + +Sara and Ben lift the pile of cards and look under it. They see the other card with a zero. It is stuck to the table with some sticky tape. + +"Who did this?" Sara says. "This is not fair!" + +Ben laughs. "It was me. I wanted to trick you. It was a joke." + +Sara is not happy. She feels angry and sad. She does not like Ben's joke. She thinks it is mean. + +"That is not a joke. That is cheating. You are a bad friend. I do not want to play with you anymore." Sara says. She takes her cards and runs away. + +Ben feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Sara. He wanted to make her laugh. He likes Sara. He wants to be her friend. + +"Wait, Sara. Come back. I am sorry. Please forgive me." Ben says. He runs after Sara and tries to catch her. + +Sara and Ben run around the room. They bump into the table and knock down the cards. They trip over the rug and fall on the floor. They look at each other and start to giggle. + +They realize that running and falling was fun. They forget about the zero card and the sticky tape. They are not angry and sad anymore. They are happy and silly. + +They hug each other and say sorry. They are friends again. They pick up the cards and start a new game. They match the cards with the same number or picture. They cheer and applaud when they find a pair. They play and laugh until it is time for a snack. They share a cookie and a glass of milk. They are glad they have each other. They are the best friends. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks and books. They liked to make noise and have fun. + +But their mom was very tired. She had a hard day at work. She wanted to relax and watch TV. She did not like the noise and the mess. She said in a harsh voice, "Tom and Lily, stop playing now! It is time to clean up and go to bed. I need some quiet and peace." + +Tom and Lily did not want to stop playing. They liked their toys and they were not sleepy. They said, "But mom, we are having fun. We want to play more. Can we watch TV with you?" + +Their mom said, "No, you cannot watch TV with me. TV is not for little kids. It is for grown-ups. You need to sleep and rest. Now go to your room and brush your teeth. I will come and tuck you in." + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They did not like their mom's harsh voice. They did not like to clean up and go to bed. They did not like to miss TV. They thought their mom was mean and unfair. + +But they knew they had to obey their mom. They put their toys away and went to their room. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They waited for their mom to come and tuck them in. + +Their mom came after a while. She looked calmer and softer. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom and Lily. I did not mean to be harsh. I love you very much. I just had a bad day and I needed to relax and watch TV. But I know you are good kids and you deserve some fun too. How about we watch some TV together tomorrow? We can watch your favorite show and have some snacks. Would you like that?" + +Tom and Lily smiled and nodded. They felt better and happier. They said, "Yes, mom, we would like that. We love you too. We are sorry for making noise and mess. We hope you have a good night and a better day tomorrow." + +Their mom hugged them and kissed them. She said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very sweet and thoughtful. You make me proud and happy. Have a good night and sweet dreams." + +She turned off the light and left the room. Tom and Lily snuggled in their beds and closed their eyes. They felt warm and cozy. They relaxed and fell asleep. +Tom likes to go to the library with his mom. He likes to look at the books on the shelf. He likes to find books with pictures of animals, cars, and stars. He likes to sit on the floor and read with his mom. + +One day, Tom sees a new book on the shelf. It has a picture of a big red dragon on the cover. Tom likes dragons. He wants to read the book. He takes the book from the shelf and shows it to his mom. + +Mom looks at the book. She says, "This book is not for you, Tom. This book is for big kids. It has hard words and scary stories. You will not like it." She puts the book back on the shelf. + +Tom is sad. He wants to read the book. He thinks the dragon looks nice, not scary. He thinks the book will be fun, not hard. He does not listen to his mom. He waits for his mom to look away. Then he takes the book from the shelf again. He runs to a corner and opens the book. + +Tom starts to read the book. He does not know the words. He tries to guess what they mean. He looks at the pictures. He sees the dragon breathing fire and roaring. He sees the people running and screaming. He sees the houses burning and falling. He feels scared. He does not like the book. He wishes he listened to his mom. + +Tom closes the book. He runs back to his mom. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. You were right. This book is not for me. This book is too scary. I want a mild book. A mild book with nice dragons, not mean dragons. Can we find a mild book, mom?" + +Mom hugs Tom. She says, "It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you came back to me. I'm not mad at you. I love you. Yes, we can find a mild book. A mild book with nice dragons, or whatever you like. Let's go to the shelf and look together." +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big blanket that they used to make forts and tents. One day, they wanted to make a castle with the blanket, but it was too long and dragged on the floor. + +"Let's cut the blanket and make it shorter," Sam said. He found some scissors and started to snip the edge of the blanket. + +"No, don't cut the blanket!" Lily cried. "Mommy will be mad at us. She gave us the blanket when we were babies. It is special and soft." + +But Sam did not listen. He cut and cut until the blanket was in two pieces. He gave one piece to Lily and said, "Here, now we have two blankets. We can make a bigger castle." + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not want two blankets. She wanted the whole blanket that Mommy gave them. She threw the piece that Sam gave her on the floor and ran to their room. She hugged the other piece and cried. + +Sam felt bad. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He followed her to their room and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong to cut the blanket. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily looked at Sam and saw that he was sorry. She wiped her tears and said, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. But we have to tell Mommy what we did. Maybe she can fix the blanket." + +Sam nodded. He took the piece that he cut and held it with Lily's piece. They went to find Mommy and told her the truth. Mommy was not happy, but she was not very mad either. She said, "I'm glad you told me. Cutting things without permission is not nice. But I love you both and I know you love the blanket. I will try to sew it back together." + +She took the blanket and the scissors and went to her sewing machine. Sam and Lily watched as she stitched the pieces together. It took a long time, but she made the blanket whole again. It had a line where she sewed it, but it was still special and soft. + +"Thank you, Mommy," Sam and Lily said. They hugged Mommy and the blanket. They felt lucky to have a Mommy who could fix things and who loved them. They decided to never cut the blanket again. They went back to their playroom and made a castle with the blanket. They played happily and shared their toys. They were good twins. +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls on her shelf. She gave them names and clothes and stories. She did not like to share her dolls with anyone. + +One day, her cousin Ben came to visit. Ben was older and bigger than Lily. He liked to play with cars and trucks. He did not like dolls. He saw Lily's shelf and said, "What are these? They are silly and boring. Let me show you my cars. They are fast and loud and fun." + +Lily did not want to play with Ben's cars. She wanted to play with her dolls. She said, "No, thank you. I like my dolls. They are pretty and nice and fun. You can play with your cars by yourself." + +Ben did not like Lily's answer. He got angry and said, "Fine. If you don't want to play with me, I will play with your dolls. I will make them race and crash and fly. I will show you how to have fun." + +Lily did not want Ben to touch her dolls. She said, "No, stop. Those are my dolls. You will break them. You will hurt them. Leave them alone." + +But Ben did not listen. He ignored Lily and grabbed her dolls. He threw them on the floor and smashed them with his cars. He made fierce noises and laughed. He did not care that Lily was crying and screaming. + +Lily ran to her mom and told her what Ben was doing. Her mom was very angry and said, "Ben, how dare you? You are being very rude and mean. You have to apologize to Lily and help her fix her dolls. You have to share and be nice. Or you will have to go home." + +Ben did not want to apologize or help. He did not want to share or be nice. He wanted to play with his cars. He said, "No, I don't. I don't care. I don't like dolls. I like cars. They are better." + +But his mom heard him and said, "That's enough. You are being very naughty and selfish. You have to go home now. You are not welcome here until you learn to be respectful and kind." + +She took Ben by the hand and led him to the door. Ben was crying and kicking. He did not want to go home. He wanted to play with his cars. But he had to go. He had learned a hard lesson. He had lost his cousin and his fun. He had made a big mistake. +Tim and Mia like to play with rocks. They have many rocks of different colors and shapes. They make piles of rocks and pretend they are castles or mountains. Sometimes they throw rocks at each other and have a war. + +One day, they find a big rock that is open. It has a hole in it. They wonder what is inside. They look at each other and smile. They decide to play a game. They take turns to put their hand in the hole and feel what is there. + +Tim goes first. He puts his hand in the hole and says, "I feel something soft and furry. Maybe it is a rabbit or a mouse." He pulls his hand out and shows Mia. He has a tuft of brown fur in his hand. + +Mia goes next. She puts her hand in the hole and says, "I feel something hard and shiny. Maybe it is a coin or a ring." She pulls her hand out and shows Tim. She has a small metal button in her hand. + +Tim and Mia are happy. They think they have found a treasure. They want to find more. They take turns to put their hand in the hole again and again. They find more fur and more buttons. They laugh and clap. + +But they do not know that the hole is not empty. There is something else in the hole. Something that does not like to be disturbed. Something that has teeth and claws. Something that is angry and hungry. + +The last time Tim puts his hand in the hole, he does not feel anything soft or hard. He feels something sharp and wet. He feels pain. He screams. He tries to pull his hand out, but he cannot. Something is holding his hand. Something is biting his hand. + +Mia hears Tim scream. She sees blood on his hand. She is scared. She runs to help him. She tries to pull his hand out, but she cannot. Something is holding his hand. Something is biting his hand. + +Tim and Mia cry. They call for help. But no one hears them. No one comes. They are alone with the rock. The rock that is open. The rock that has a monster. The rock that is their end. +Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a red car. The car is tough. It can go fast and make loud noises. + +One day, Sam and Mia want to play with the car. But they cannot find it. They look in their room, in the living room, in the kitchen, but the car is not there. They are sad and confused. + +"Where is our car?" Sam asks Mia. + +"I don't know. Maybe Mom or Dad took it?" Mia says. + +They go to Mom and Dad. They ask them about the car. Mom and Dad shake their heads. They say they did not see the car. + +"Maybe it is outside?" Dad says. + +Sam and Mia run to the backyard. They look under the tree, behind the swing, in the sandbox, but the car is not there. They are more sad and more confused. + +"Where is our car?" Mia asks Sam. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone stole it?" Sam says. + +They start to cry. They miss their car. They want to play with it. + +But then, they hear a familiar noise. It is the car. It is coming from the garage. They run to the garage. They see their car. It is on a shelf. It is next to a big box. + +"Look, there is our car!" Sam says. + +"How did it get there?" Mia says. + +They climb on a stool. They reach for the car. They are happy and relieved. + +They see a note on the car. It is from their big brother, Ben. It says: + +"Sorry, I borrowed your car for a school project. I forgot to tell you. Here is your car. It is tough. I hope you are not mad. Love, Ben." + +Sam and Mia smile. They are not mad. They are glad. They hug their car. They thank Ben. They go to play with their car. They have fun. They love their car. The car is tough. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They found a big bow on the ground. It was red and shiny. Lily wanted to play with it. She said, "This is my bow. I can shoot arrows with it." + +Tom wanted to play with it too. He said, "No, this is my bow. I can shoot arrows better than you." + +They both pulled the bow. They started to fight. They shouted and pushed each other. They were very angry. + +A man saw them fighting. He was pale and had a beard. He said, "Stop fighting, children. That is not your bow. That is my bow. I lost it here yesterday. I need it for my work. I am an archer." + +Lily and Tom stopped fighting. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know it was your bow. We just wanted to play with it. It is very pretty." + +The man smiled. He said, "It is okay, children. I forgive you. Do you want to see how I shoot arrows with it?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Yes, please. That would be fun." + +The man took them to a target. He showed them how to hold the bow and aim. He shot an arrow. It hit the bullseye. Lily and Tom clapped. They said, "Wow, you are very good, sir. Can we try too?" + +The man said, "Sure, but be careful. The bow is strong and the arrows are sharp. You need to listen to me and follow the rules." + +Lily and Tom listened to the man. They took turns to shoot arrows. They had fun. They learned a new skill. They thanked the man. They said, "Thank you, sir. You are very kind. We are sorry for fighting. We will share and play nicely from now on." + +The man said, "You are welcome, children. I am glad you learned your lesson. You are very brave and smart. Now, go and enjoy the park. And remember, do not fight over things that are not yours." + +Lily and Tom said, "We will, sir. Goodbye." + +They waved to the man. They ran to the swings. They played happily. They did not fight anymore. They were friends. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, it was raining. Lily and Tom did not like rain. They wanted to see the sun. + +Lily had a big umbrella. It was pink and had flowers on it. She said to Tom, "Let's use my umbrella. We can go for a walk and look for rainbows." Tom nodded. He liked rainbows. They were pretty. + +They put on their boots and coats. Lily opened her umbrella. They held hands and walked out the door. They splashed in the puddles. They saw a worm. Tom said, "Ew, that is disgusting." Lily said, "No, it is not. It is just a worm. It likes the rain." She picked up the worm and put it on a leaf. She smiled. She liked worms. They were funny. + +They walked some more. They saw a snail. Lily said, "Look, a snail. It has a shell on its back. It is slow." Tom said, "Yes, it is slow. It is boring." He poked the snail with a stick. The snail hid in its shell. Tom laughed. He liked to tease snails. They were silly. + +They walked some more. They saw a rainbow. Lily and Tom said, "Wow, a rainbow. It has many colors. It is beautiful." They smiled. They liked rainbows. They were happy. They hugged each other. They said, "We are friends. We like to play outside. Even when it rains." They walked back home. They had fun. +Lily and Ben were playing with a big red ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball and catch it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, a big boy came and took their ball. He said, "This is my ball now. Go away, you are too small to play with it." He was very rude. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They said, "No, this is our ball. We brought it from home. You are not nice. Give it back to us." + +The big boy laughed and said, "No, I won't. I make the law here. You have to do what I say." He bounced the ball very high and ran away. + +Lily and Ben ran after him. They saw a policeman near the gate. They told him what happened. The policeman said, "That is not fair. That is not the law. The law says you have to share and be kind. I will help you get your ball back." + +The policeman followed the big boy and stopped him. He said, "You have to give this ball back to Lily and Ben. They are the owners. You are not. You are breaking the law and hurting their feelings. That is wrong." + +The big boy was scared and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry. I was selfish and mean. Here is your ball. Please forgive me." + +Lily and Ben took their ball and thanked the policeman. They said, "You are very good and brave. You helped us. Thank you." + +The policeman said, "You are welcome. I'm glad you got your ball back. Remember, the law is there to protect and respect everyone. You have to follow the law and be nice to others. That is the right thing to do." + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They learned a lesson. They bounced their ball and played happily. They also invited the big boy to join them. He said yes and became their friend. They all had fun. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are at Lila's house. Lila has a new gift. It is a flexible snake. It can bend and twist in many ways. + +"Look, Tom, this is my gift. It is a snake. It is flexible. Do you want to play with it?" Lila asks. + +"Yes, please. It looks fun. Can I hold it?" Tom says. + +Lila gives the snake to Tom. Tom holds it in his hands. He makes it wiggle and curl. He laughs. He likes the snake. + +But then, Tom drops the snake. It falls on the floor. It makes a loud noise. Lila and Tom are scared. They look at the snake. It is broken. It has a crack in its head. + +"Oh no, Tom, you broke my gift. It is not flexible anymore. It is ruined. I am sad. You are a bad friend." Lila cries. + +"I am sorry, Lila. I did not mean to drop it. It was an accident. I am sad too. You are a good friend. Can we fix it?" Tom says. + +Lila and Tom hug. They are sorry. They look for glue. They find some in the drawer. They try to fix the snake. They put glue on the crack. They press it together. They wait for it to dry. + +"Look, Lila, the snake is fixed. It is flexible again. It can bend and twist. It is a good gift. Thank you for sharing it with me." Tom says. + +"You are welcome, Tom. The snake is fixed. It is flexible again. It is a fun gift. Thank you for helping me fix it. You are a good friend." Lila says. + +Lila and Tom smile. They play with the snake. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also like to run and chase each other. + +One day, Lily has to go to the doctor. She is sick and has a fever. She cannot play with Tom. Tom is sad. He misses Lily a lot. He does not want to play alone. + +He goes to the park and sees a boy. The boy is bigger than Tom. He has a ball. Tom wants to play with the ball. He asks the boy, "Can I play with you?" + +The boy says, "No, this is my ball. Go away." He kicks the ball hard. The ball flies in the air and lands on the roof of a house. The boy is angry. He says, "Now look what you did. You made me miss my ball. How will I get it back?" + +Tom says, "I'm sorry. I did not mean to make you miss your ball. Maybe we can get it back. There is a ladder over there. We can climb it and reach the roof." + +The boy says, "No, that is too hard. The ladder is very high. I am afraid of heights. You go and get it. You are smaller. You only need to climb an inch." + +Tom says, "No, that is not fair. You are the one who kicked the ball. You should get it. It is not easy to climb a ladder. It is dangerous. We should ask for help." + +The boy says, "No, I don't want to ask for help. I don't want anyone to know that I lost my ball. You have to do it. Or I will tell everyone that you are a baby and a coward." + +Tom says, "No, you are the baby and the coward. You are mean and selfish. You don't know how to share or be nice. You are not a good friend. I don't want to play with you. I want to play with Lily. She is kind and fun. She knows how to miss someone. She is a good friend." + +Tom leaves the boy and goes home. He hopes that Lily will get better soon. He wants to see her and play with her again. He learns that it is better to have a good friend than a bad one. He also learns that it is not good to miss something that you can't have. He is happy with what he has. He is happy with Lily. +Lily and Sam are playing in the garden. They have a big pool of water and some toys. They splash and laugh and have fun. + +But then the sun comes out and makes the water go away. The pool becomes smaller and smaller. The toys are wet and sticky. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "The water is drying up! What will we do?" + +Sam thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He runs to the shed and gets a hose. He turns on the tap and sprays water all over the pool and the toys. + +"Yay!" Lily says. "You are so smart, Sam! Now we can play some more!" + +But then they hear a loud voice. It is Dad. He is not happy. + +"Hey!" Dad says. "What are you doing? You are wasting water and making a mess! Turn off that hose right now!" + +Lily and Sam look at each other. They are scared. They turn off the hose and run to Dad. + +"Sorry, Dad," Sam says. "We were just playing." + +Dad sighs. He is not really angry. He loves his kids. But he wants them to be careful. + +"I know, I know," Dad says. "But you have to be more responsible. Water is precious and we have to save it. And you have to clean up your toys and dry them off. Or they will get ruined." + +Lily and Sam nod. They understand. They hug Dad and say they are sorry. They promise to be more careful next time. + +Dad smiles. He hugs them back and says he loves them. He helps them to clean up the garden and dry the toys.

One day, they decided to paint a big rainbow on a white paper. They mixed red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple to make the rainbow. They were very happy with their painting. + +But then, Sara saw some scissors on the table. She had an idea. She wanted to cut out the rainbow and make it into a necklace. She thought it would look pretty on her. She did not ask Ben if he wanted to share the rainbow. She just took the scissors and started to cut. + +Ben saw what Sara was doing and felt sad. He liked the rainbow too. He wanted to keep it as a painting. He said to Sara, "Sara, why are you cutting the rainbow? I helped you paint it. Can we keep it together?" + +Sara did not listen to Ben. She said, "No, Ben, I want the rainbow for myself. It is mine. I can do what I want with it." She finished cutting the rainbow and put it around her neck. She smiled and said, "Look, Ben, I have a rainbow necklace. Isn't it beautiful?" + +Ben did not think it was beautiful. He thought it was mean. He said to Sara, "Sara, you are not a good friend. You are not generous. You are selfish. You did not share the rainbow with me. You ruined our painting. I don't want to play with you anymore." He took his colors and brushes and left. + +Sara felt sorry for what she did. She looked at the rainbow necklace and realized it was not as pretty as the painting. She wished she had shared the rainbow with Ben. She missed her friend. She wanted to say sorry to him. She took off the necklace and ran after Ben.

They wear helmets and pads to be safe. + +One day, they see a big hill in the park. Ben wants to go down the hill fast. He says to Lily, "Let's go down the hill. It will be fun." Lily is scared. She says to Ben, "No, thank you. The hill is too steep. I might fall and hurt myself." + +Ben says, "Don't be afraid. I will go first and show you. It is easy. Just pedal hard and steer straight." He gets on his bike and pedals hard. He goes down the hill very fast. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He is happy. + +Lily watches Ben from the top of the hill. She sees him go faster and faster. She thinks he is brave. She wants to try too. She gets on her bike and pedals hard. She goes down the hill slowly at first. She feels nervous and excited. + +But then, something bad happens. A rock is on the path. Lily does not see it. Her bike hits the rock and bounces. Lily loses her balance and falls off her bike. She lands on the grass. Her bike lands on the flowers. The flowers are delicate and break. Lily cries. Her knee is bleeding and her bike is broken. + +Ben hears Lily cry and stops his bike. He runs back to her. He sees her knee and her bike. He feels sorry and sad. He says to Lily, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay? I didn't mean to make you fall. I should have warned you about the rock." + +Lily says to Ben, "It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. You didn't know. But my knee hurts and my bike is broken. I can't ride anymore." + +Ben says to Lily, "Don't worry, Lily. I will help you. We can go to my house and get a band-aid for your knee. And we can fix your bike with some tape and glue. It will be good as new." + +Lily smiles and says to Ben, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Can I borrow your bell for my bike?" + +Ben smiles and says to Lily, "Sure, Lily. You can borrow my bell. And I can borrow your basket. We can share our bikes and have more fun." + +They hold hands and walk to Ben's house. They are still friends. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to pretend with the big fan. They took turns to be the wind and blow on each other. + +"Ben, you be the wind now. I want to feel the breeze," Lily said. + +"OK, Lily. But you have to close your eyes and guess what I blow on you," Ben said. + +He looked around and saw a banana peel on the floor. He picked it up and held it behind the fan. He turned the fan on and aimed it at Lily. + +Lily felt something wet and slimy on her face. She opened her eyes and screamed. + +"Ben, what is this? It is disgusting!" she cried. + +She saw the banana peel and threw it away. She ran to the couch and wiped her face with a pillow. + +"Ben, that was not nice. That was mean. Why did you do that?" she asked. + +Ben laughed and said, "It was a joke, Lily. It was funny. Don't you like jokes?" + +Lily frowned and said, "No, Ben. That was not a joke. That was gross. You made me dirty and smelly. You have to say sorry." + +Ben stopped laughing and said, "Sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to make you sad. I just wanted to play. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily looked at him and said, "Only if you promise to never do that again. And you have to help me clean the mess. And you have to give me a hug." + +Ben nodded and said, "OK, Lily. I promise. I will help you clean. And I will give you a hug. You are my best friend." + +They hugged and said, "We are sorry. We are friends." + +They decided to play something else with the fan. They discussed what they could do. They agreed to make paper planes and fly them with the fan. They had fun and forgot about the banana peel. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together in the park. They share their toys and snacks. They hug and laugh a lot. + +One day, Lily says to Ben, "I want to marry you when we grow up. You are my favorite person." + +Ben smiles and says, "I want to marry you too, Lily. You are my favorite person too." + +They hold hands and run to the swings. + +But then, a big boy comes and pushes them. He says, "You can't marry each other. That's against the law. The law says you have to marry someone different from you." + +Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They don't understand the law. They don't want to marry someone else. They want to marry each other. + +They cry and hug each other. + +The big boy laughs and runs away. + +But then, a nice lady comes and sees them. She is a teacher. She says, "Don't listen to that mean boy. He is wrong. The law doesn't say that. The law says you can marry anyone you love. You are free to choose who you want to marry." + +Lily and Ben are happy and relieved. They thank the teacher. They say, "We love each other. We want to marry each other." + +The teacher smiles and says, "That's wonderful. You are very sweet and brave. I hope you will always be happy together." + +Lily and Ben smile and say, "We will. Thank you, teacher." + +They hold hands and run to the slides. +Lily liked to play with her violin. She had a small violin that her mom gave her for her birthday. She liked to make sounds with it and pretend she was a musician. Sometimes she played happy songs, sometimes she played sad songs, and sometimes she played silly songs. + +One day, she decided to play a song for her cat, Max. Max was a big, fluffy cat who liked to sleep on the couch. Lily sat next to him and started to play her violin. She played a soft and gentle song, hoping to make Max happy. But Max did not like the sound of the violin. He opened his eyes and looked at Lily with a grumpy face. He hissed and jumped off the couch. + +Lily was surprised and sad. She wanted to be friends with Max, not scare him away. She followed him to the kitchen, where he hid under the table. She tried to play another song, a fun and fast song, hoping to make Max laugh. But Max did not like the sound of the violin. He opened his mouth and roared at Lily with a loud voice. He scratched the table and ran away. + +Lily was shocked and scared. She did not know that Max could roar like a lion. She dropped her violin and ran to her mom, who was in the living room. She hugged her mom and cried. She told her what happened with Max and the violin. + +Her mom listened and comforted her. She told her that Max was not a mean cat, just a scared cat. He did not understand the sound of the violin, and he thought it was a strange and scary thing. He roared to protect himself, but he was harmless. He would not hurt Lily or her violin. He just needed some time to get used to it. + +Lily felt better and wiped her tears. She asked her mom if she could try to play the violin for Max again, but this time with a different song. A song that was calm and quiet, like a lullaby. Her mom smiled and nodded. She helped Lily pick up her violin and walked with her to the bedroom, where Max was hiding under the bed. Lily knelt down and played her violin. She played a sweet and soothing song, hoping to make Max calm. And this time, Max did not hiss or roar. He peeked out from under the bed and looked at Lily with a curious face. He came out and sniffed the violin. He rubbed his head against Lily's hand and purred. Lily smiled and petted him. She was happy that Max liked her song. She told him that he was a good cat, and that she loved him. And Max loved her too. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park.

She picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake. It made a big splash. Tom heard the splash and turned around. He saw Lily waving at him from behind the bush. He smiled and ran to her. + +"Lily, you are so clever!" he said. "You hid very well. But how did you make the splash?" + +Lily giggled and showed him the stone. "I threw it into the lake. It was easy." + +Tom hugged her and said, "You are very clever, but you are also very kind. You surrendered to make me happy. Thank you, Lily.

They want to eat more tuna. But they see the sandwich is gone. They see the bird flying away with a piece of bread in its beak. They are sad and angry. They say, "Hey, bird. That's our tuna. Give it back." But the bird does not listen. It flies away and sings. Sara and Luna feel hungry and sorry. They wish they did not forget their sandwich. They go inside and ask mom for more tuna. Mom smiles and says, "OK, but next time, don't forget your lunch." Sara and Luna nod and say, "We won't, mom. We love tuna." +Sara and Lily are sisters.

They had many toys, but they liked the big box the most. They pretended it was a spaceship, a castle, a cave, and anything they could imagine. + +One day, they had a new idea.

It was her baking jacket. + +One day, Lisa saw a big jar of sprinkles on the shelf. They were shiny and colorful. Lisa wanted to use them on her cake. She asked her mom, but her mom said no. She said the sprinkles were not for baking. They were for something else. + +Lisa was sad and curious. She wondered what the sprinkles were for. She waited until her mom was busy. Then she climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She opened it and saw the sprinkles. They looked harmless. They looked like candy. + +Lisa took a handful of sprinkles and put them in her mouth.

They picked up their teddy bears and their blankets. They went back to their beds. They felt comfortable and safe. They said, "Good night, thief! You will not come back!" +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. But today they disagree. Ben wants to build a tall tower with the blocks. Sam wants to make a road for the cars. + +"No, no, no!" Ben says. "Blocks are for towers, not roads!" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Sam says. "Cars need roads, not towers!" + +They push and pull the blocks. They shout and cry. They have a fight. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees the mess and the tears. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting?" + +"Ben is bad!" Sam says. "He won't let me play with the blocks!" + +"Sam is bad!" Ben says. "He won't let me build a tower!" + +Mom shakes her head. She picks up the blocks and the cars. She puts them in a box. + +"Enough!" Mom says. "No more blocks and cars for today. You need to learn to share and play nicely. Now say sorry to each other and hug." + +Ben and Sam look at each other. They feel sad and sorry. They say sorry and hug. + +Mom smiles. She gives them a kiss and a cookie. + +"Good boys," Mom says. "Now let's go and read a book together. Maybe you can find a story about blocks and cars and towers and roads." +Ben and Lily liked to play pretend. They had a big box that they turned into a boat. They put on hats and scarves and said they were sailors. They sailed to different places and had fun. + +One day, they sailed to a warm island. They saw many trees and flowers and animals. They wanted to explore. They got out of the boat and walked around. + +"Look, Ben, a monkey!" Lily said. She pointed to a brown animal that was hanging from a branch. It made a funny noise and showed its teeth. + +"Hello, monkey!" Ben said. He waved his hand and smiled. He wanted to be friends with the monkey. + +But the monkey did not want to be friends. It threw a banana peel at Ben and hit him on the head. Ben was surprised and angry. He picked up the peel and threw it back at the monkey. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily said. She did not like to see Ben and the monkey act mean. She wanted them to get along. She went to the monkey and gave it a hug. She said, "We are nice sailors. We do not hurt you. You can play with us." + +The monkey was confused. It did not know what to do. It looked at Lily and then at Ben. It saw that they were not bad. It felt sorry for throwing the peel. It made a soft noise and hugged Lily back. It said, "Sorry, sailors. Me play with you." + +Ben and Lily were happy. They had a new friend. They played with the monkey and had fun. They shared their snacks and stories. They forgot about the boat and the time. They enjoyed the warm island. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be spies and catch a thief who was stealing cookies from the kitchen. They put on their spy hats and glasses and prepared a trap. They tied a string to a chair and hid behind the sofa. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet and wait for the thief," Ben whispered to Lily. + +"I hope he comes soon, I'm hungry," Lily whispered back. + +They waited and waited until they heard a noise. It was their big brother Tom, who sneaked into the kitchen and opened the cookie jar. He reached for a cookie, but as he did, he pulled the string and the chair fell on him with a loud bang. + +"Ow, what was that?" Tom shouted. + +"We got you, thief! You are under arrest!" Ben and Lily jumped out and pointed their fingers at him. + +"Thief? What are you talking about? I was just having a snack," Tom said. + +"You were stealing our cookies, we saw you," Lily said. + +"No, I wasn't, these are my cookies too," Tom said. + +"No, they are not, they are ours, we made them with Mom," Ben said. + +They argued and argued until Mom came in and saw the mess. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked. + +"Mom, Tom is a thief, he stole our cookies," Ben and Lily said. + +"Mom, they are spies, they set a trap for me," Tom said. + +Mom looked at them and smiled. She knew they were just playing, but she also had a surprise for them. + +"Actually, you are all wrong. These are not your cookies, they are mine. I made them for a special occasion. Do you know what today is?" Mom asked. + +They thought for a moment and then realized. + +"It's your birthday, Mom!" they said. + +"Yes, it is. And these are my birthday cookies. But I'm happy to share them with you, if you promise to clean up this mess and give me a hug," Mom said. + +They agreed and hugged Mom. They said sorry to each other and helped Mom clean up.

They put their toys inside and pretend they live there. They have fun. + +But soon they get tired. They work hard and it is hot. They sweat and yawn. They need a break. + +"Tom, I am tired. Can we stop now?" Sam asks. + +"Me too, Sam. Let's have some water and a snack." Tom agrees. + +They put down their tools and go to the kitchen. They drink some water and eat some cookies. They feel better. + +They go back to their house and play some more. They are proud of their work. They smile and hug. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben love to play with their toy trains. They have many trains of different colors and shapes. They like to make tracks on the floor and pretend they are driving the trains. + +One day, they find a new train in a box. It is a huge train, bigger than any of their other trains. It is black and shiny, with a red funnel and a yellow whistle. It has a button on the side that says "Press me". + +Anna and Ben are curious. They press the button and the train makes a loud noise. Puff, puff, puff! Steam comes out of the funnel and the whistle blows. The train starts to move on its own, along the track. Anna and Ben are amazed and excited. They follow the train as it goes around the room. + +But then, the train goes too fast. It bumps into a chair and falls off the track. It lands on the floor with a crash. Anna and Ben are scared. They run to the train and try to pick it up. But it is too heavy for them. They look at the train and see a label on the bottom. It says "This train belongs to Grandpa. Do not touch". + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They did not know the train was Grandpa's. They think Grandpa will be angry with them for breaking his train. They start to cry. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Grandpa. He comes into the room and sees the train and the children. He is not angry. He smiles and hugs them. He says "Don't worry, my dears. The train is not broken. It is just a little old and needs some fixing. I'm glad you like it. It was my favorite toy when I was a little boy. Do you want to play with it with me?" + +Anna and Ben nod and smile. They are happy. They love Grandpa and his train. They help him put the train back on the track and press the button again. The train makes a loud noise and steam comes out of the funnel. The whistle blows and the train moves along the track. Anna and Ben laugh and clap. They play with the train and Grandpa for a long time. They think the train is the best toy ever. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars and trucks. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving fast. Lily has a red car and Ben has a blue truck. + +"Let me see your car, Lily," Ben says. He wants to play with it. + +"No, it is mine. You can play with your truck," Lily says. She does not want to share. + +Ben is angry. He grabs Lily's car and runs away. "Give it back, Ben! That is not nice!" Lily shouts. She chases him. + +Ben runs to the living room, where Mom is watching TV. He hides behind the couch. Lily follows him. She sees Mom and says, "Mom, Ben took my car. He is not sharing. He is mean." + +Mom looks at them and says, "Ben, why did you take Lily's car? You have your own truck. You should share with your sister." + +Ben does not answer. He holds the car tightly. He likes the red car. It is cool. + +Mom says, "Ben, you have to give the car back to Lily. It is hers. If you want to play with it, you have to ask nicely. You cannot demand it." + +Ben does not want to give the car back. He says, "No, I want it. It is mine now." + +Mom says, "Ben, that is not how we behave. You have to be kind and respectful. If you do not give the car back, you will have a time-out. Do you understand?" + +Ben does not like time-outs. He knows Mom is serious. He thinks for a moment. He does not want to be in trouble. He says, "Okay, fine. Here, Lily. You can have your car back. But can I play with it later?" + +Lily is happy. She takes her car and says, "Thank you, Ben. Yes, you can play with it later. But you have to ask me first. And you have to let me play with your truck too." + +Ben nods. He says, "Okay, deal. I am sorry, Lily. I was not nice." + +Lily smiles. She says, "It is okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are my brother. I love you." + +Mom smiles too. She says, "That is very good, kids. I am proud of you. You are learning to share and to say sorry. That is a cool operation. Now, do you want to watch some TV with me?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please." They sit on the couch with Mom and watch TV. They are happy. They hug each other and their car and truck. They are friends again. +Lily and Sam were playing with their dolls. They had a tea party with cups and plates and cookies. Lily poured some tea for Sam and said, "Here you go, Sam. Drink your tea. It is yummy." + +Sam took a sip and made a face. He said, "No, Lily. I don't like this tea. It is cold and bitter. I want juice." + +Lily was angry. She said, "Sam, you are rude. This is my tea set. You have to drink the tea. It is not cold. It is warm. And it is not bitter. It is sweet. You are a bad guest." + +Sam was angry too. He said, "Lily, you are bossy. This is our game. I can drink what I want. You are a bad host." + +They started to argue and shout. They pushed each other and knocked over the tea set. The cups and plates and cookies fell on the floor. They made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Sam and the tea set. She was not happy. She said, "Lily and Sam, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why did you break the tea set?" + +Lily and Sam stopped fighting. They felt sorry. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We were playing tea party. But we didn't like the tea. And we quit the game. And we made a mess." + +Mom said, "Lily and Sam, I understand. But you have to be nice to each other. You have to share and take turns. You have to respect each other's choices. And you have to clean up your mess. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Sam nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will be nice. We will share and take turns.

They have fun. + +One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it. They think it is easy. They start to go up. But the hill is not easy. It is hard. It has rocks and sticks and holes. Ben and Sam are not careful. They trip and fall. + +"Ow!" Ben says. He hurts his knee. It is red and wet. He cries. "Sam, help me!" + +Sam looks at Ben. He is scared. He does not want to help. He thinks Ben is too heavy. He thinks he will fall too. He does not provide help. He runs away. + +"Sam, come back!" Ben says. He is sad and angry. He feels alone. He does not know how to go down. He waits for someone to come. But no one comes. He is stuck on the hill. He is cold and hungry and in pain. He wishes he had a better friend. He wishes he never climbed the hill. He wishes he was home. He cries more. The end. +Lila and Ben were playing in the attic. They found a big box with many old things inside. They saw a lamp, a hat, a doll, and a bottle. The bottle had a label on it. The label said "Do not open". + +"What is this?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it has something cool inside. Let's open it!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben. The label says no. It could be bad. We should listen to the label." Lila said. + +But Ben did not listen. He was curious. He opened the bottle. A green smoke came out. It smelled disgusting. It made Lila and Ben cough and sneeze. + +"Ben, why did you do that? That was a bad idea. Now we are sick." Lila said. + +"I'm sorry, Lila. I wanted to see what was inside. Maybe it was a magic bottle. Maybe it could make us glow or fly or something." Ben said. + +But it was not a magic bottle. It was a poison bottle. The green smoke was very bad for Lila and Ben. It made them feel worse and worse. They tried to call for help, but no one heard them. They lay down on the floor, feeling very sick and sad. The lamp in the attic was the only thing that glowed. It glowed dimly, like a dying star. The end. +Lily was very scared. She had to go to the hospital for an operation. She did not know what an operation was, but she heard it was when doctors cut you and fixed you. She did not want to be cut. She wanted to stay home with her toys and her cat. + +She trembled as her mom and dad took her to the car. She cried and held her teddy bear. "Why do I have to go?" she asked. "Why can't I stay with you?" + +Her mom hugged her and kissed her. "You have to go, sweetie, because you are sick. The operation will make you better. We will be with you the whole time. We love you very much." + +Lily did not feel better. She felt worse. She saw the big building with the red cross. She saw the people in white clothes. She saw the beds with wheels. She saw the machines that beeped. She thought it was all crazy. She wanted to run away. + +But her dad held her hand and smiled. "Don't be afraid, Lily. The doctors are very nice. They will give you a special medicine that will make you sleep. When you wake up, the operation will be over. And you will have a big band-aid and a sticker and a balloon." + +Lily looked at her dad. She trusted him. He always told her the truth. She took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, dad. I will be brave. But can I keep my teddy bear?" + +"Of course, Lily. You can keep your teddy bear. He will be brave with you." Her dad said. + +Lily hugged her teddy bear and followed her dad. She hoped the operation would be quick and painless.

They went to the kitchen and asked Lily's mom if they could help her cook. Lily's mom said yes and gave them some dough and cookie cutters.

She sees that Ben and Lily have mixed up the pieces from different puzzles. They have pieces from the brain puzzle, the animal puzzle, the car puzzle and the flower puzzle. + +"Ben, Lily, I think I know why you are having trouble," Miss Rose says. "You have pieces from different puzzles. You need to sort them out first. Then you can do each puzzle separately." + +Ben and Lily look at the pieces. They see that Miss Rose is right. They have made a mistake. They feel silly. + +"Oops, we are sorry, Miss Rose," Lily says. "We did not notice that." + +"That's OK, Ben and Lily," Miss Rose says. "It is easy to make mistakes. But you can learn from them. You have a good brain. You just need to use it well." + +Ben and Lily nod. They thank Miss Rose. They start to sort out the pieces. They put the brain pieces in one pile, the animal pieces in another pile, and so on. Then they choose a puzzle to do. They decide to do the brain puzzle first.

Sara said, "Let me ride first. I want to go fast and have fun." Tom said, "OK, but be careful. Don't go too fast or you might fall." Sara nodded and got on the bike. She pedaled hard and zoomed away. + +Tom waited for his turn. He watched Sara go around the park. She looked happy and excited. But Tom also saw something else. He saw a big hill at the end of the path. He knew that the hill was steep and slippery. He wondered if Sara would see it and stop. + +Sara did not see the hill. She was too busy enjoying the speed. She reached the hill and went down. She felt a thrill and a scare. She tried to brake, but it was too late. She lost control of the bike and crashed into a bush. + +Tom ran to help her. He saw that Sara was not hurt, but she was dirty and sad. She had scratches on her arms and legs. She had tears in her eyes. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was too fast and foolish. I ruined our bike and our fun." Tom hugged her and said, "It's OK, Sara. I'm glad you're OK. We can fix the bike and play again. But next time, let's be more careful and slow." + +They walked back home with their bike. They were both sleepy and sore. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that speed is not always good. They learned that sometimes, it is better to enjoy the simple things. +Sam is a big boy. He likes to walk with his dad to the university. The university is a place where people learn many things. Sam wants to learn many things too. + +One day, Sam and his dad walk to the university. But they see a big fence. The fence is blocking the way. There is a sign on the fence. The sign says "No entry. Construction work." Sam and his dad cannot go to the university. + +Sam is frustrated. He wants to see the university. He wants to learn many things. He asks his dad, "Why is there a fence? Why can't we go to the university?" + +His dad says, "The fence is there because they are building something new. They are making the university better. But we can't go there now because it is not safe. We have to wait until they finish." + +Sam is still frustrated. He does not like to wait. He says, "But I want to go now. I want to see the new thing. I want to learn many things." + +His dad says, "I know, Sam. I want to go too. But we have to be patient. Maybe we can go another day. Maybe we can learn something else today. Do you want to go to the park? Do you want to see the ducks?" + +Sam thinks for a moment. He likes the park. He likes the ducks. He says, "Okay, dad. Let's go to the park. Maybe we can go to the university later." + +Sam and his dad walk to the park. They see the ducks. They feed them bread. They have fun. Sam is not frustrated anymore. He is happy. He learns something new. He learns that ducks like bread. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with boats. They had many boats of different colors and sizes. They pretended to be sailors and went on adventures on the water. + +One day, Tom had a new boat. It was big and red and shiny. It had a great sail with a star on it. Tom was very proud of his boat. He showed it to Sam and said, "Look at my boat. It is the best boat ever. Do you want to play with it?" + +Sam looked at the boat and felt jealous. He wanted to have a boat like that. He said, "No, I don't want to play with your boat. It is not a good boat. It is too big and too red and too shiny. It will sink in the water. My boat is better. It is small and blue and smooth. It can go fast and far. Let's play with my boat." + +Tom was angry. He did not like what Sam said. He said, "No, your boat is not better. It is too small and too blue and too smooth. It will get lost in the water. My boat is better. It can catch the wind and fly. Let's play with my boat." + +Sam and Tom started to argue. They shouted and pushed each other. They did not want to share or play together. They wanted to have the best boat. + +Then, a big dog came. It saw the boats and thought they were toys. It ran to the boats and grabbed them with its mouth. It bit and tore and chewed them. It made them into pieces. Sam and Tom stopped arguing and looked at the dog. They were shocked and sad. They cried and ran to their boats. But it was too late. The boats were broken and ruined. The dog ran away with the pieces. + +Sam and Tom had no boats to play with. They had no friends to play with. They had nothing but their tears. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had listened to each other. They wished they had suggested to play with both boats. But it was too late. The end. +Lily liked to go to the grocery with her mom. She saw many things there: fruits, vegetables, bread, milk, eggs, and more. She liked to help her mom put things in the cart. Sometimes, she got a sticker or a cookie from the nice people who worked there. + +One day, Lily saw something new at the grocery. It was a small plant in a pot. It had green leaves and tiny purple flowers. Lily thought it was pretty. She asked her mom what it was. + +Mom said, "It's a lavender plant. It smells good and it can grow bigger and bigger. Do you want to take it home and put it in our garden?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the idea of having a lavender plant in their garden. She imagined how it would grow and make their garden more lively and colorful. She hoped it would attract bees and butterflies. + +Mom smiled and put the lavender plant in the cart. She said, "Good choice, Lily. You have a green thumb. That means you are good at taking care of plants. Maybe you can help me water it and prune it when we get home." + +Lily was happy. She hugged the lavender plant and said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you and I love our garden." +Lily was an adventurous cat. She liked to explore new places and find new things. One day, she saw a big tree in the garden. She wanted to climb it and see what was on top. + +She ran to the tree and jumped on the lowest branch. She stretched her legs and claws and climbed higher and higher. She felt happy and brave. She looked around and saw birds and flowers and clouds. She felt like she was the queen of the garden. + +But then she heard a loud bark. It was the dog from next door. He had seen Lily on the tree and wanted to chase her. He ran to the tree and jumped and barked. He tried to reach Lily, but he was too big and clumsy. + +Lily was scared. She wanted to get down, but she did not know how. She was too high and the branches were too thin. She meowed and cried for help. + +Her human heard her and came to the garden. He saw Lily on the tree and the dog on the ground. He shooed the dog away and got a ladder. He climbed the ladder and reached Lily. He picked her up and hugged her. He said, "Lily, you are a very adventurous cat, but you have to be careful. Climbing trees is fun, but it can also be dangerous. Next time, stay on the ground and play with your toys. I love you, Lily." + +Lily felt sorry and grateful. She licked her human's face and purred. She learned her lesson. She decided to be more cautious and not to climb trees anymore. She still liked to explore, but she did it safely and with her human's permission. She was a happy and smart cat. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. But they had only one crown, and they both wanted to be the prince. + +"I want to be the prince!" Lily said, grabbing the crown from Ben's head. + +"No, I want to be the prince!" Ben said, pulling the crown back. + +They started to fight over the crown, and they made a lot of noise. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. + +"Why are you fighting, Lily and Ben?" she asked. "You have so many toys to play with. Why don't you share the crown and take turns being the prince?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not like to share. They wanted to have the crown all the time. + +"But mom, sharing is disgusting!" Lily said. + +"Yeah, sharing is disgusting!" Ben agreed. + +Their mom shook her head and smiled. She had an idea. + +"Okay, if you don't want to share the crown, then you can't be the prince. You can be something else. How about a frog? Frogs don't need crowns. They just hop and croak and eat flies. Do you want to be frogs?" + +Lily and Ben made a face. They did not want to be frogs. Frogs were slimy and gross. They did not want to hop and croak and eat flies. + +"Yuck, frogs are disgusting!" Lily said. + +"Yeah, frogs are disgusting!" Ben said. + +They looked at the crown again. It was shiny and pretty. They liked to wear it and pretend to be the prince. + +"Maybe sharing is not so disgusting," Lily said. + +"Yeah, maybe sharing is not so disgusting," Ben said. + +They decided to share the crown and take turns being the prince. They said sorry to each other and hugged. Their mom was happy to see them get along. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben," she said. "Sharing is not disgusting. Sharing is nice. Sharing is what princes do." +Lily and Ben were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked out the window and saw a dull sky. They wished they could go outside and play. + +"Let's make our own parade!" Lily said. She had an idea. She ran to her room and got some toys. Ben followed her. + +They took their toys to the living room. They lined them up on the floor. They had dolls, cars, trucks, animals, and blocks. They added some hats and scarves to make them look funny. + +"Now we need some music!" Ben said. He found a drum and a whistle. He gave the whistle to Lily and kept the drum. + +They marched around the living room, blowing the whistle and banging the drum. They made their toys follow them. They pretended they were in a big parade. + +They had so much fun. They forgot about the dull sky. They made their own sunshine. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to help their dad, who was a farmer. They liked to feed the chickens, milk the cows, and pick the apples. But they also liked to be playful and have fun. + +One day, they decided to mix some things in a big bowl. They took some flour, some eggs, some milk, and some sugar from the kitchen. They also took some apples from the basket. They poured and cracked and stirred and chopped. They made a big mess, but they did not care. + +They wanted to surprise their dad with a cake. They put the bowl in the oven and waited. They smelled something good. They hoped their dad would like it. + +When their dad came home, he saw the twins smiling and the oven on. He asked, "What are you two doing?" + +"We made you a cake, dad!" Ben and Lily said. + +"A cake? For me?" their dad said. He opened the oven and took out the bowl. He saw a brown and lumpy thing. He was not sure what it was. + +He smiled and said, "Thank you, my playful twins. You are very sweet. But next time, let's use a recipe, okay?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They hugged their dad and said, "We love you, dad!" + +They all laughed and ate the cake. It was not very good, but they did not mind. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. They went to the same school every day, except on Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday, they had a special day. It was their birthday! + +Anna and Ben were born on the same day, in the same hospital. Their moms were friends, too. They always had a big party together, with cake and balloons and presents. They were very happy and excited. + +"Anna, what do you think is in your present?" Ben asked, as they waited for the party to start. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe a new dress, or a hat, or a puzzle. What do you think is in yours?" Anna said. + +"Maybe a new car, or a ball, or a book. I can't wait to see!" Ben said. + +Soon, their moms called them to the table. They sang a song and blew out the candles. Then, they opened their presents. Anna and Ben smiled and gasped as they saw what they got. + +"Wow, Anna, you got a blue bike! It's so pretty and shiny!" Ben said. + +"Wow, Ben, you got a blue helmet! It's so cool and safe!" Anna said. + +They hugged each other and thanked their moms. They were very happy with their presents. They decided to share them and play together. + +"Anna, do you want to ride my bike?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben, and you can wear my helmet!" Anna said. + +They put on their helmets and got on the bike. They rode around the yard, laughing and having fun. They revealed their new skills and their friendship. They had the best birthday ever. +Bee and Wasp were friends. They liked to fly and buzz and find sweet things. But one day, they saw a big hive on a tree. It was full of honey and bees. + +Bee said, "That is my home. Let us go there and share some honey." + +Wasp said, "No, that is not your home. That is my home. I want all the honey for myself." + +Bee and Wasp began to fight. They stung each other with their tails. They bit each other with their mouths. They pushed each other with their wings. + +The bees in the hive heard the noise. They came out and saw Bee and Wasp fighting. They were angry. They said, "This is our home. You are not welcome here. Go away or we will sting you more." + +The bees flew at Bee and Wasp. They stung them all over. Bee and Wasp were hurt and scared. They stopped fighting and flew away. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that fighting is bad. They learned that sharing is good. They learned that the hive is not an ordinary home. It is a special home for the bees. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with a lot of oil cans in the back. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Can we look at the oil cans?" Lily asked the truck driver, who was busy on his phone. + +"Sure, sure, just be polite and don't touch anything," the truck driver said, without looking at them. + +Lily and Tom climbed on the truck and opened one of the oil cans. It smelled bad and made them cough. + +"Yuck, this oil is rotten!" Tom said, holding his nose. + +"Let's close it and try another one," Lily said, hoping to find something better. + +They opened another oil can, but it was worse. It was full of worms and flies, and it made a loud hissing sound. + +"Help, help, it's going to explode!" Tom shouted, dropping the can. + +The truck driver heard the noise and turned around. He saw the oil can on the floor, spilling rotten oil and bugs everywhere. He was angry and scared. + +"What have you done, you naughty kids?" he yelled, running towards them. + +Lily and Tom were sorry and scared. They jumped off the truck and ran away as fast as they could. + +They learned a lesson that day: never open things that are not yours, and never trust a truck driver who is not polite. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. Sometimes they make a big mess with their toys and clothes. Mommy is not happy when she sees the mess. + +One day, Mommy says, "It is time for a bath, Anna and Ben. You are very dirty and messy. Come with me to the bathroom." Anna and Ben do not want to stop playing. They say, "No, Mommy, we want to play more." + +Mommy is not happy. She says, "You have to take a bath, Anna and Ben. It is good for you. You will feel clean and warm. I have a surprise for you after the bath." Anna and Ben are curious. They wonder what the surprise is. They follow Mommy to the bathroom. + +Mommy fills the tub with water and bubbles. She helps Anna and Ben take off their clothes and get in the tub. They splash and play with their rubber ducks and boats. They wash their hair and body with soap. They have fun in the bath. + +Mommy says, "It is time to get out, Anna and Ben. You are very clean and shiny. Here is your surprise." She gives them each a soft and fluffy bathrobe. Anna's bathrobe is pink and Ben's bathrobe is blue. They put on their bathrobes and hug Mommy. They say, "Thank you, Mommy, for the bath and the bathrobes. We love you." + +Mommy says, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. You are very sweet and good. Now let's go to your room and clean up the mess. Then we can read a story and go to bed." Anna and Ben agree. They hold Mommy's hand and go to their room. They put away their toys and clothes. They make their bed and tidy their room. Mommy is happy. She reads them a story and kisses them good night. Anna and Ben fall asleep in their cozy bathrobes. They dream of more surprises. +Tom and Lily like to play in the farm. They see many animals there. They see cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. They also see a big horse. The horse is brown and has a long mane. The horse is deaf. He cannot hear anything. + +One day, Tom and Lily want to ride the horse. They ask the farmer if they can. The farmer says yes, but they have to be careful. He says the horse is very old and gentle, but he cannot hear them. He says they have to touch him softly and talk to him with their eyes. + +Tom and Lily enter the barn where the horse is. They see him eating hay. They walk slowly to him. They touch his nose and his ears. They smile at him. The horse looks at them. He snorts and shakes his head. He likes them. + +Tom and Lily climb on his back. They hold his mane. They say "giddy up" and "whoa" but the horse does not hear them. He just walks around the barn. He stops when he sees a carrot. He bends his neck and eats it. Tom and Lily laugh. They pat his neck and say "good boy". + +The horse takes them for a ride around the farm. They see the other animals. They wave at them. The animals wave back. They have fun. The horse is happy. He is not lonely. He has two new friends. +Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big onion on the table. Sara wanted to smell it. She picked it up and brought it to her nose. + +"Yuck! It makes my eyes water!" she said. + +Tom wanted to try too. He took the onion from Sara and smelled it. He also made a face. + +"It stinks!" he said. + +He threw the onion on the floor. It broke into many pieces. + +"Oh no! We broke the onion!" Sara said. + +They heard their mom coming. They were scared. They hid under the table. + +Mom saw the broken onion on the floor. She was angry. + +"Who did this?" she asked. + +Sara and Tom did not answer. They hoped mom would not find them. + +Mom looked under the table. She saw Sara and Tom. + +"There you are! Why did you break the onion?" she asked. + +Sara and Tom felt sorry. They came out from under the table. + +"We were playing. We wanted to smell it. We did not like it. We are sorry, mom," they said. + +Mom sighed. She picked up the onion pieces. + +"You should not play with food. It is wasteful and messy. You should ask before you touch something. You should be careful with things. You should say sorry when you make a mistake. Do you understand?" she said. + +Sara and Tom nodded. They understood. + +"We are sorry, mom. We will not do it again. We will help you clean up," they said. + +Mom smiled. She hugged them. + +"Thank you. I forgive you. I love you. You are fine," she said. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the children to respect food, to ask for permission, to be careful, to apologize and to forgive. +Sara likes to play with her mom's jewelry. She thinks they are shiny and pretty. She likes to put them on her neck, ears and fingers. Sometimes, she pretends she is a princess or a fairy. + +One day, Sara finds a big box of jewelry in her mom's closet. She is very happy and curious. She opens the box and sees many different kinds of jewelry. She sees pearls, beads, rings, bracelets and necklaces. She wants to try them all. + +She takes out a long necklace with a deep blue stone. She thinks it looks like the sky or the sea. She puts it around her neck and admires herself in the mirror. She feels very fancy and beautiful. She decides to show her mom. + +She runs to the living room, where her mom is reading a book. She stands in front of her mom and says, "Look, mom, look at me! I am wearing your necklace! Do you like it?" + +Her mom looks up and smiles. She sees Sara wearing her necklace and other jewelry. She thinks Sara is very cute and funny. She says, "You look lovely, Sara. But you know, that necklace is very special. It was a gift from your grandma. She gave it to me when I was a little girl, like you. It is very old and precious. You have to be very careful with it." + +Sara nods and hugs her mom. She says, "I love you, mom. And I love grandma. And I love your necklace. Can I keep it?" + +Her mom laughs and says, "No, sweetheart, you can't keep it. It is mine. But you can borrow it sometimes, if you ask me nicely. And you have to put it back in the box when you are done. OK?" + +Sara agrees and says, "OK, mom. Thank you for letting me play with your jewelry. They are so shiny and pretty. Can I play with them again tomorrow?" + +Her mom says, "Maybe, if you are a good girl. Now, let's go and put them back in the box. And then we can have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?" + +Sara says, "That sounds great, mom. I love you. And I love cookies and milk. And I love your jewelry." +Lily was hungry. She wanted soup for lunch. She asked her mom, "Can I have soup, please?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to help me find the soup can. I put it somewhere in the kitchen, but I forgot where." + +Lily and mom started to search for the soup can. They looked in the cabinets, in the drawers, in the fridge, and in the oven. But they could not find the soup can anywhere. + +Lily said, "This is crazy. Where is the soup can?" + +Mom said, "I don't know. Maybe we have to look somewhere else." + +Then, Lily had an idea. She remembered that she saw something shiny in the living room this morning. She ran to the living room and looked under the couch. There, she found the soup can. + +Lily shouted, "I found it! I found the soup can!" + +Mom came to the living room and saw the soup can. She said, "Oh, Lily, you are so smart. How did you find the soup can here?" + +Lily said, "I saw it when I was playing with my toys. I thought it was a toy, too. But it was not. It was the soup can." + +Mom said, "Well, you are right. It is not a toy. It is our lunch. Come on, let's go make some soup." + +Lily and mom went back to the kitchen. They opened the soup can and poured it into a pot. They heated it up and stirred it. Then, they poured it into two bowls and added some crackers. + +Lily and mom sat down at the table and enjoyed their soup. They were happy and full. They thanked each other for their help. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys on the carpet in the living room. But sometimes they make a big mess and do not clean up. Mama is not happy when she sees the mess. She tells them to put their toys away and help her with the chores. + +One day, Sara and Ben are playing with their blocks and cars on the carpet. They build a tall tower and a long road. They have a lot of fun, but they also drop some blocks and cars on the floor. They do not notice the mess they make. They are too busy playing. + +Mama comes into the living room and sees the mess. She is very angry. She says, "Sara and Ben, this is very bad! You made a big mess on the carpet and the floor. You did not listen to me when I told you to clean up. Now you have to stop playing and help me with the chores. And no more toys for you today!" + +Sara and Ben are sad and sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mama. We did not mean to make a mess. We were just playing. Please do not take our toys away. We will help you with the chores. We will clean up the carpet and the floor. Please forgive us, Mama." + +Mama sees that Sara and Ben are sincere. She says, "I forgive you, Sara and Ben. But you have to learn to be more careful and responsible. Playing is fun, but you also have to do your part and help me with the housework. And you have to listen to me when I tell you something. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod and say, "We understand, Mama. We will try to be better. We love you, Mama." They hug Mama and then they help her with the chores. They manage to clean up the carpet and the floor. They also help Mama with the dishes and the laundry. They feel good about themselves and they make Mama happy. + +The moral of the story is: You have to listen to your parents and help them with the chores. You also have to be careful and clean up your mess. Playing is fun, but you also have to be responsible. +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play with their toys, draw pictures and read books. Sometimes they also like to discuss things that they see or hear. + +One day, they are playing with their blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with different colors. Anna picks up a blue block and says, "This is my favorite color. What is your favorite color, Ben?" + +Ben thinks for a moment and says, "I like green. It is the color of the grass and the trees. And the frogs. Frogs are funny." + +Anna nods and says, "Green is nice too. But I like blue more. It is the color of the sky and the water. And the birds. Birds are pretty." + +They keep talking about their favorite colors and why they like them. They are having fun and learning new words. + +But soon they start to feel tired. Their eyes are heavy and their mouths are yawning. They look at each other and say, "Maybe we should take a nap." + +They agree and put their blocks away. They find their blankets and pillows and lie down on the couch. They snuggle up and close their eyes. They are very cozy and happy. + +They have a perfect nap. They dream of blue skies and green grass. And frogs and birds. And their friendship. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play with their toys. One day, they went to the store with Mom. Mom said they could each pick one toy. + +Lily saw a small doll with a pink dress. She liked it very much. She took it from the shelf and hugged it. Tom saw a big truck with lights and sounds. He liked it very much. He took it from the shelf and pushed it. + +"Look, Mom, I want this doll!" Lily said. + +"Look, Mom, I want this truck!" Tom said. + +Mom looked at the toys. She said they were too expensive. She said they could only get one toy to share. + +Lily and Tom did not like that. They both wanted their own toy. They started to cry and scream. They pulled the toy from each other. They made a lot of noise and motion. + +Mom was very angry. She said they were being naughty and greedy. She said they could not have any toy at all. She took the toys from them and put them back on the shelf. She said they had to go home. + +Lily and Tom were very sad and sorry. They had no toy and no fun. They wished they had been nice and quiet. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. She dreamed of big things, like flying in the sky, or having a pony, or being a princess. She dreamed every night when she went to sleep in her bed. + +One night, she had a very strange dream. She dreamed that she was in a big house, with many doors. She wanted to see what was behind the doors, so she opened them one by one. She saw many things, like toys, and flowers, and books. She was happy. + +But then she opened a door that was very dark. She was scared, but she was curious. She went inside the dark door, and saw a big monster. The monster had sharp teeth, and red eyes, and hairy arms. The monster roared at her, and said, "I am going to eat you!" + +Lily screamed, and tried to run away. But the door was locked, and she could not get out. She cried, and wished she was awake. She wished she was in her bed, with her teddy bear, and her mommy. + +But she was not awake. She was still in the dark door, with the big monster. And the monster ate her. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toy jets. They liked to make zooming noises and pretend they were flying in the sky. Sometimes they would strike each other's jets and say "Boom!" or "Crash!" + +One day, a big jet flew over the park. It was loud and fast and shiny. Lily and Ben looked up and saw it. They were amazed and excited. They wanted to see it better. + +"Let's follow it!" Ben said. He ran after the jet, holding his toy. Lily followed him, but she was worried. She did not want to go too far from the park. She did not want to get lost. + +"Ben, wait!" Lily called. "We don't know where it's going. We should go back." + +But Ben did not listen. He kept running and running. He wanted to catch the jet. He did not see the road or the cars or the people. He only saw the jet. + +Lily ran after him, but she could not keep up. She was scared and tired. She wanted to go back to the park. She wanted to find their mom. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily shouted. "We're in trouble. We need to go back." + +But Ben did not hear her. He was too far away. He was too busy chasing the jet. He did not see the red light or the big truck. He only saw the jet. + +Lily saw the red light and the big truck. She saw Ben running into the road. She screamed and dropped her toy. She wanted to save Ben. She wanted to strike the truck. She wanted to make it stop. But she could not. She was too small and too late. She only saw the jet. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a trail of ants on the grass. They follow the trail to a big tree. + +"Look, Ben, there is a hole in the tree. Maybe the ants live there," Mia says. + +"Let's see what is inside," Ben says. He bends down and stares into the hole. He sees something shiny and round. + +"What is that?" he asks. He reaches his hand into the hole and pulls out a coin. + +"Wow, Ben, you found a coin! Maybe it is a magic coin," Mia says. + +"Maybe it is. Maybe someone hid it here for us to find," Ben says. He puts the coin in his pocket. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is their mom. + +"Ben, Mia, it is time to go home. Did you have fun in the park?" she asks. + +"Yes, mom, we had fun. We found a hidden coin in the tree," Ben says. + +"A hidden coin? Let me see," mom says. She looks at the coin and smiles. + +"That is a very old coin, Ben. It is from a long time ago. Someone must have lost it or forgotten it here. You are very lucky to find it," she says. + +"Can we keep it, mom?" Mia asks. + +"Of course you can, Mia. It is your coin now. Maybe you can use it to buy something nice or save it for later," mom says. + +"Thank you, mom. We love you," Ben and Mia say. + +They hug their mom and walk home with her. They are happy and curious about their hidden coin. They wonder what other secrets the park has. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They saw a big jug on the table. It had milk inside. + +"Can we have some milk, please?" Lily asked Mom. + +"Sure, but you have to share," Mom said. She gave them two cups and a spoon. "You can also have some cereal if you like." + +Lily and Tom poured some milk into their cups. They added some cereal and stirred it. They took a sip and smiled. It was sweet and crunchy. + +"This is good!" Tom said. + +"I like it too!" Lily said. + +They ate their cereal and milk until their tummies were full. They felt comfortable and happy. They thanked Mom and gave her a hug. + +"Can we play now?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, but first you have to wash your cups and spoon," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They took their cups and spoon to the sink. They rinsed them with water and soap. They dried them with a towel. They put them back on the table. + +"Good job, Lily and Tom!" Mom said. "You are very helpful and polite." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They ran to their room to play with their toys. They had a fun day. +Bunny and Frog were friends who liked to play together. One day, they decided to have a hop race to see who was faster. They marked a start line and a finish line with some sticks and stones. + +"Are you ready, Frog?" asked Bunny. + +"Yes, I am, Bunny. Let's hop!" said Frog. + +They counted to three and then hopped as fast as they could. Bunny was very competitive and wanted to win. He hopped and hopped and hopped.

We can't hurt them or make them cry. We have to wait for our turn." Ben said. + +Lily and Ben kept waiting. They saw a girl get off a swing. They ran to the swing. But another boy got there first.

I just wanted to swing." The boy said. + +"Well, you have to share. You can't take the swing from us." Ben said. + +The boy looked at Lily and Ben. He saw their sad and angry faces.

They are part of the world, and we have to take care of the world," Lily says, as she picks up a doll with a torn dress. + +"What do you mean, take care of the world?" Tom asks, as he stops his truck and looks at Lily. + +"The world is everything around us. The sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, the trees, the animals, the people. The world is beautiful, but sometimes it can be broken. Like when there is too much trash, or too much smoke, or too much noise. Then the world is sad and sick, and we have to help it," Lily explains, as she shows Tom a picture book with images of the world. + +"How can we help the world?" Tom asks, as he looks at the pictures. + +"We can help the world by being kind and gentle. By not wasting water, or electricity, or food. By not throwing things away, but recycling them. By not breaking things, but fixing them. By not making a mess, but cleaning it," Lily says, as she puts the doll in a basket. + +"Cleaning? But cleaning is boring. I don't like cleaning. I like playing," Tom says, as he grabs his truck again and starts to drive it over the toys. + +"Tom, stop! You are making more mess. You are breaking more toys. You are not helping the world. You are hurting it," Lily says, as she runs after Tom and tries to stop him. + +"No, I'm not. I'm just playing. You are being bossy. You are not fun. You are mean," Tom says, as he pushes Lily away and drives his truck faster. + +Lily and Tom start to argue and fight. They are not happy. They are not friends.

I will call the police and have you arrested!" + +He took out his phone and dialed a number. Tom and Sue were terrified and wished they had never seen the car.

Mom gave them each a plate with yummy food. There were carrots, cheese, bread and apple slices. Lily and Ben liked all the food, but they liked the cheese best. + +"Can I have more cheese, please?" Lily asked Mom. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and gave them more cheese. "You can have more cheese, but you have to eat your carrots too. Carrots are good for you.

They wanted to go and play with their toys. + +"Mom, can we go now?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. You have to finish your plate. There is still some bread and apple left.

We are not hungry anymore. Can we just stay here and play with our plates?" Ben asked. + +He picked up his plate and pretended it was a flying saucer. He made zooming noises and flew it around the table. + +Lily giggled and did the same with her plate. She made beeping noises and pretended it was a robot. + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy.

She said the attic was dark and dusty and had many things that could hurt them. She said they could play with their toys in their room. + +But Lily and Tom did not listen. They waited until mom was busy in the kitchen. Then they sneaked up the stairs to the attic. They opened the door and saw a big pile of boxes and bags. They thought it looked like fun. They started to dig and pull and throw things around. + +They found old clothes and hats and books and toys. They tried them on and made funny noises. They did not hear mom calling them from downstairs. They did not hear the thunder and lightning outside.

They wished they could go back in time and do things differently. They regretted what they did. +Lily liked to play with her mother's telephone. It was fancy and shiny and had many buttons. Sometimes, Lily would pretend to call her friends and tell them stories. She would say hello and bye-bye and make funny noises. + +One day, Lily found the telephone on the sofa. She picked it up and pressed a button. She heard a voice say, "Hello, this is the bank. How can I help you?" Lily was surprised. She thought it was a friend. She said, "Hello, I am Lily. I like to play with dolls and cars. Do you like to play?" + +The voice said, "I'm sorry, this is not a play call. This is a serious call. Please hang up and don't call again."

She didn't know what she was doing. I apologize for the trouble." She hung up and looked for Lily. + +She found Lily in her room, crying on her bed. She hugged her and said, "What's wrong, sweetie? Why are you crying?" Lily said, "I wanted to talk to a friend on the telephone, but he was not a friend. He was mean and rude and he didn't want to hear my stories. He said he would call you and tell on me. I'm sorry, mommy. I didn't mean to be bad." Her mother said, "It's okay, honey. You are not bad. You are a good girl. But you have to be careful with the telephone. It is not a toy. It is for important calls. You can't call strangers and bother them. They might get angry or scared. Do you understand?" Lily said, "Yes, mommy. I understand. I'm sorry. Can I still play with the telephone?" Her mother said, "No, you can't. The telephone is not for playing. But you can play with your dolls and cars and tell them stories. They will listen and be nice. And you can call your real friends later, with my permission. How does that sound?" Lily said, "That sounds good, mommy. Thank you. I love you." Her mother said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk. And don't worry about the bank. I will explain to them what happened. They will understand. It was just a mistake." Lily said, "Okay, mommy. Let's go." She smiled and hugged her mother.

They walk to the field where the show is. There are many dogs of different colors and sizes. Some have long hair, some have short hair, some have spots, some have stripes. + +"Look, dad, that dog has a hat!" Mia says, pointing to a poodle with a pink bow on its head. + +"Yes, it does. And that dog has a sweater!" dad says, pointing to a chihuahua with a blue knit top. + +They watch the dogs do tricks and jump over hurdles. They clap and cheer for the dogs. Spot barks and wags his tail. He wants to join the show. + +"Can Spot be in the show, dad?" Mia asks. + +"I don't think so, Mia. He is not trained for the show. He is just a pet. But he is a very good pet. And we love him very much." dad says, hugging Mia and Spot. + +Mia nods. She loves Spot very much. She does not care if he can do tricks or wear clothes. He is her best friend. She puts the leash on Spot and they walk back home. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. The park is near the city. + +They see many big buildings in the city. They see cars and buses and people. They see lights and colors and shapes. + +"Wow, look at the city!" Anna says. "It is so big and bright!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "It is very beautiful!" + +They discuss the city. They talk about what they see and what they like. They ask their moms questions. + +"Mom, what is that tall building?" Anna asks. + +"That is a hotel, Anna. People stay there when they visit the city," Anna's mom says. + +"Mom, what is that round thing?" Ben asks. + +"That is a ferris wheel, Ben. It is a ride that goes up and down and around," Ben's mom says. + +Anna and Ben want to go to the city. They want to see more things and have fun. They ask their moms if they can go. + +"Maybe another day, sweeties," their moms say. "Today we are here to enjoy the park." + +Anna and Ben are a little sad. But they understand. They say okay. They go back to playing in the park. They have a lot of fun. They still think the city is beautiful. +Lila was a little girl who liked to learn new things. She liked to read books, draw pictures, and ask questions. She wanted to have wisdom, like her big sister Maya, who knew many things and helped her with her homework. + +One day, Lila found a big book on the shelf. It had many words and pictures that she did not understand. She wanted to read it, but it was too heavy for her to carry. She tried to pull it down, but it fell on her head. She screamed in pain and fear. + +Maya heard her scream and ran to her. She saw Lila on the floor, crying, with the big book next to her. She picked up Lila and hugged her. She asked her what happened and checked her head for bumps. + +"I wanted to read the big book, but it hurt me," Lila sobbed. "I wanted to have wisdom, like you." + +Maya smiled and kissed her head. She said, "You are very brave and curious, Lila. That is how you get wisdom. But you don't need to read big books that are not for you. You can read smaller books that are fun and easy. And you can always ask me or Mommy or Daddy if you want to know something. We are here to help you learn and grow." + +Lila nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "Thank you, Maya. You are the best sister ever. Can you read me a small book?" + +Maya said, "Of course, Lila. Let's go to your room and find a nice book. Maybe we can find one about animals or colors or shapes. What do you think?" + +Lila smiled and said, "I think that sounds great. I love animals and colors and shapes. And I love you, Maya." + +They walked to Lila's room, holding hands. They found a small book and sat on the bed. Maya read the book to Lila, who listened and learned. They laughed and hugged and had a good time. They both had wisdom, in their own way. +Lily was a lively kid who liked to play and talk a lot. She had many toys and books in her room, but she also wanted to see what was outside. One day, she saw a big truck on the street. It was making a loud noise and had bright colors. Lily wanted to go closer and see what it was. + +She ran to the door and opened it. She did not listen to her mom, who told her to stay inside. She did not see the car that was coming fast. She only heard a loud honk and a scream. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" her mom shouted. She ran after Lily and grabbed her hand. She pulled her back to the house. She was very scared and angry. + +"Lily, you have to listen to me!" her mom said. "You could have been hurt by the car. You have to be careful when you go outside. You have to look and listen before you cross the street." + +Lily felt sorry for making her mom worry. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again. I love you, mom." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm glad you're safe. Now, let's go inside and play with your toys. Maybe we can read a book about trucks later." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She learned to listen to her mom and to be more careful. She still liked to be lively, but she also liked to be safe. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump on the grass. The grass was green and soft. But some parts of the grass were brown and dry. Lila and Tom wondered why. + +They saw a man with a big hose. He was spraying water on the grass. He wore a hat and a shirt with a flower on it. Lila and Tom were curious. They ran to the man and said hello. + +"Hello, little ones. What are you doing here?" the man asked. + +"We are playing on the grass. But why is some grass brown and dry?" Lila asked. + +"Well, the grass needs water to grow and stay green. Sometimes, the sun is too hot and the rain is too little. Then the grass gets thirsty and sad. That's why I'm here. I'm trying to restore the grass. Do you know what restore means?" the man explained. + +Lila and Tom shook their heads. They did not know what restore meant. + +"Restore means to make something good again. Like when you fix a broken toy or heal a hurt knee. I'm giving water to the grass so it can be happy and green again. Do you want to help me?" the man offered. + +Lila and Tom nodded. They liked to help. The man gave them each a small hose. They sprayed water on the grass with the man. They had fun and learned a new word. They helped to restore the grass. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play in the attic. They found many old things there, like books, hats, and toys. One day, they saw a shiny metal thing under a dusty box. It looked like a gun, but smaller. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sam said, picking up the metal thing. "It's a pistol!" + +"What's a pistol?" Tom asked, curious. + +"It's a thing that makes loud noises and hurts people," Sam said, pretending to know. "It's very ancient, like from a long time ago." + +"Can I see it?" Tom said, reaching for the pistol. + +"No, it's mine!" Sam said, holding it tight. "You can't touch it!" + +"Please, Sam, let me see it!" Tom said, trying to grab it. + +"Stop it, Tom, you'll break it!" Sam said, angry. + +They fought over the pistol, pulling and pushing. They did not see that the pistol had a button on the side. The button was the trigger. The pistol was not ancient, it was real. And it was loaded. + +BANG! + +The pistol made a loud noise and a flash. Sam and Tom stopped fighting. They looked at each other, scared. Then they looked at the floor. There was blood. A lot of blood. + +Sam had shot Tom in the chest. + +"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Sam asked, dropping the pistol. He ran to his brother and hugged him. "I'm sorry, Tom, I'm sorry!" + +But Tom did not answer. He did not move. He did not breathe. He was gone. + +Sam started to cry. He cried and cried, until he heard his mom coming up the stairs. + +"Sam, Tom, what are you doing up there?" she asked, opening the door. "What's that noise?" + +She saw the pistol, the blood, and her sons. She screamed. She screamed and screamed, until the neighbors heard. They called the police. The police came and took the pistol, the blood, and Sam. They took him away from his mom, his home, and his brother.
