He had seen them take his rocket, and he was very angry. He ran to their garden, and tried to grab his rocket. But Tom and Lily pushed him away. + +"Your rocket is fake!" they shouted. "It's big and old and boring. Our rocket is real! It's small and new and fun. You can't play with our rocket, because you are silly and you have a fake rocket." + +Max felt sad and angry. He liked his rocket, and he didn't like Tom and Lily. He wanted to show them that his rocket was not fake, and that he was not silly. But he had no idea how. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bottle on a bench. The bottle has a skull and a word on it. The word is poison. + +Anna and Ben are curious. They want to know what is in the bottle. They go to the bench and watch the bottle. They see a man come to the bench. He is not polite. He yells at Anna and Ben. He says the bottle is his and they should go away. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They run away from the man and the bottle. They find their mom and dad. They tell them what they saw. Mom and dad are worried. They say poison is bad. It can make people sick or die. They say Anna and Ben should never touch or drink poison. They say they should always be polite and careful. + +Anna and Ben are sorry. They say they will not be curious about poison again. They say they will be polite and careful. Mom and dad hug them. They say they are proud of them. They say they love them. They go home and have a snack. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together and make things with their toys. They were very creative. They could make a castle, a spaceship, or a zoo with their blocks and animals. + +One day, they decided to make a big bridge with their blocks. They wanted to see how long and high they could make it. They worked hard and had fun. They used all their blocks and some books and pillows to support the bridge. + +But then, Tom had an idea. He wanted to see if he could walk on the bridge. He thought it would be exciting and cool. He did not tell Lily his idea. He just climbed on the bridge and started to walk. + +Lily saw Tom on the bridge and was scared. She knew the bridge was not strong enough to hold him. She shouted, "Tom, get down! The bridge will break!" But Tom did not listen. He wanted to keep walking. + +Suddenly, the bridge collapsed. Tom fell down and hurt his arm. He cried out in pain. Lily ran to him and helped him get up. She was angry and sad. She said, "Tom, why did you do that? You did not trust me. I told you the bridge was not safe. You could have broken your arm or worse. You were not smart. You were silly." + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. You are right. I did not trust you. I should have listened to you. You are my friend. You know what is best for me. I was not smart. I was silly. Please forgive me." + +Lily hugged Tom and said, "I forgive you, Tom. You are my friend. I care about you. But next time, please trust me. And let's be creative in a safe way. OK?" + +Tom nodded and said, "OK, Lily. Thank you. And I'm sorry for breaking our bridge. Can we make another one?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, we can. But this time, let's make it on the floor. And let's not walk on it. OK?" + +Tom smiled and said, "OK, Lily. That sounds good. Let's do it." + +They held hands and went to get their blocks.

They see a big bird in a tree. The bird has a shiny thing in its beak. + +"Look, Lily, the bird has a ring!" Ben says. "I want the ring. It is pretty." + +"No, Ben, the ring is not for us. It is the bird's. The bird needs it for its life. Maybe it is a gift for its mate. We should not take it," Lily says. + +But Ben does not listen. He climbs the tree to get the ring. The bird sees him and gets angry. It flies at him and pecks his face. Ben screams and falls down. He hurts his head and his arm. + +Lily runs to him and cries. She calls for help. A man comes and sees Ben. He calls an ambulance. The ambulance takes Ben to the hospital. Lily is very sad. She wishes Ben had listened to her. She hopes he will be okay. But he is not.

She should respect other lives. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. They also like to splash in the water. + +One day, they go to the beach with their moms. The sun is bright and warm. The water is blue and shiny. Tom and Mia are happy. + +"Look, Mia, I found a big shell!" Tom says. He shows Mia his shell. It is pink and smooth. + +"Wow, Tom, that is a good shell!" Mia says. She wants to find one too. She looks around the sand. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a big wave. It comes fast and high. Tom and Mia are scared. They run to their moms. + +"Freeze, Tom and Mia!" their moms say. They hold their hands and tell them to stop. They do not want them to get hurt by the wave. + +The wave crashes on the shore. It makes a lot of foam and spray. Tom and Mia watch it. They are safe with their moms. + +"Are you okay, Tom and Mia?" their moms ask. They hug them and check them. + +"Yes, mom, we are okay," Tom and Mia say. They are glad their moms are there. + +"Good, Tom and Mia," their moms say. They smile and kiss them. "You are brave and smart. You listened to us and froze.

They are good friends. +Lily was a princess who loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a pink one with long hair and a shiny dress. She named her doll Rose and took her everywhere. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Rose. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She ran to the slide, but she was careless. She forgot to hold Rose in her arms. She left her on the bench. + +"Mom, look at me!" Lily shouted as she slid down. "I'm so fast!" + +Mom smiled and clapped. "You're very brave, Lily. But where is Rose?" + +Lily gasped. She looked around and saw a boy holding Rose. He was pulling her hair and ripping her dress. + +"Hey, that's my doll!" Lily cried. She ran to the boy and tried to take Rose back. + +"No, it's mine now!" the boy said. He pushed Lily away and ran. + +Lily was sad and angry. She loved Rose and did not want to lose her. She followed the boy and shouted, "Give me back my doll!" + +Mom saw what happened and followed Lily. She caught up with the boy and said, "Stop, young man. That's not your doll. That's Lily's doll. You should not take things that are not yours. That's not nice." + +The boy looked scared. He saw Mom's stern face and heard Lily's sobbing. He felt sorry. He gave Rose back to Lily and said, "I'm sorry. I was careless. I just wanted to play with the doll. She's very pretty." + +Lily took Rose and hugged her. She checked her hair and her dress. They were messy and torn. She felt sad, but also happy to have Rose back. + +"Thank you for giving me back my doll," Lily said. "But you should not hurt her. She's very special to me. I love her." + +The boy nodded. He said, "I'm sorry. I love dolls too. But I don't have any. Can I play with you and your doll?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She saw the boy's hopeful eyes and remembered how she loved to play with her dolls. She said, "Okay. But you have to be gentle and careful. And you have to share." + +The boy smiled. He said, "Okay. I will. Thank you." + +Mom smiled too. She said, "That's very kind of you, Lily. You're a good princess. And you're a good friend." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love Rose. And I love playing with dolls." + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to roll on the sand and feel the sun on their skin. + +"Look, Lily, I can roll very fast!" Tom said. He rolled down a small hill and landed near the water. He laughed and got up. + +"Wow, Tom, you are very strong!" Lily said. She tried to roll too, but she was slower and smaller. She rolled halfway and stopped. She saw something in the water. It was big and gray and had a fin. "Tom, Tom, look!" she shouted. + +Tom looked where Lily was pointing. He saw the thing too. He felt scared. He remembered what his dad had told him. "That is a shark, Lily. Sharks are not nice. They can bite. We have to go away." + +Tom ran to Lily and took her hand. They ran back to their sand castle. They did not want to play near the water anymore. They wanted to be safe. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, Tom, I am okay. Thank you for helping me. You are very brave." Lily said. + +They hugged each other and smiled. They were happy to have each other. They did not like sharks, but they liked to roll on the sand. +One day, Ben and Mia went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and fish. Ben and Mia liked to feed the ducks with bread. They also liked to watch the fish swim and jump. + +"Look, Mia, that fish is diving!" Ben said, pointing to a splash in the water. + +"Wow, it is so fast and shiny!" Mia said, clapping her hands. + +They wanted to get closer to the pond, but their mom said, "Be careful, don't go too near the edge. The water is deep and you might fall in." + +Ben and Mia nodded and stayed on the grass. But then they saw something strange on the other side of the pond. It was a pile of ash, black and gray. It looked like someone had burned something there. + +"What is that, mom?" Ben asked, curious. + +"That is ash, Ben. It is what is left after something is burned. Sometimes people burn leaves or wood or paper. But it is not good to burn things in the park. It can make the air dirty and hurt the plants and animals." Mom said, frowning. + +"Who burned it, mom?" Mia asked, upset. + +"I don't know, Mia. Maybe someone who was not careful or did not care. But we should not touch it or play with it. It can be hot or sharp or make us sick." Mom said, holding Mia's hand. + +Ben and Mia felt sad and angry. They did not like that someone had burned something in the park. They liked the park and wanted to keep it clean and green. They wished they could do something to help. + +"Mom, can we plant some flowers here?" Ben asked, pointing to the ash. + +"That is a very nice idea, Ben. But we need to ask the park ranger first. He is the one who takes care of the park. Maybe he can help us clean the ash and plant some flowers. Would you like to meet him?" Mom asked, smiling. + +"Yes, mom, we would!" Ben and Mia said, excited. + +They followed their mom to the park ranger's office. They hoped they could make the park beautiful again. They also hoped the fish and the ducks were happy and safe. They liked to dive and swim and jump. They were their friends. +Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. She dreamed of many things, like flying in the sky, playing with animals, and finding a rainbow. She dreamed of rainbows because they were so pretty and had many colors. She wanted to see one for real, not just in books or pictures. + +One day, Lily and her mom went for a walk in the park. It was a sunny day, but there were some clouds in the sky. Lily hoped that maybe there would be a rainbow after the clouds went away. She asked her mom, "Mom, can we see a rainbow today?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Maybe, Lily. Sometimes, when the sun and the rain meet, they make a rainbow. But we have to be lucky and look at the right place at the right time." + +Lily nodded and kept walking with her mom. She looked at the sky and the trees and the flowers. She saw many things, but no rainbow. She felt a little sad, but she did not give up. She said to herself, "I will see a rainbow today. I will, I will, I will." + +Suddenly, she felt a drop of water on her nose. Then another, and another. It started to rain. Lily and her mom ran to a big tree to stay dry. Lily looked at the sky and saw that the sun was still shining. She thought, "Maybe this is my chance. Maybe there is a rainbow now." + +She looked around and saw something bright and colorful in the air. It was a rainbow! It was big and beautiful and had all the colors she liked. She was so happy and excited. She pointed at the rainbow and said, "Mom, look! A rainbow! A rainbow! I see a rainbow!" + +Her mom looked and saw the rainbow too. She hugged Lily and said, "You did it, Lily. You found a rainbow. You are a lucky girl. And you have a big dream." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I have a big dream. And I love rainbows. They are not terrible. They are wonderful." +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with puzzles. Puzzles are pictures made of many pieces. You have to put the pieces together to see the picture. + +One day, Ben and Mia find a big puzzle in the toy box. It is a photo of a farm. There are cows, pigs, chickens, and a tractor. Ben and Mia want to solve the puzzle. They start to look for the pieces that match. + +"Look, I found the cow's head!" Ben says. He puts the piece on the floor. + +"Good job, Ben!" Mia says. "I found the tractor's wheel!" She puts the piece next to Ben's. + +They keep looking for more pieces. They find the cow's body, the tractor's engine, the pig's nose, and the chicken's wing. They are happy. They are solving the puzzle. + +But then, they see something strange. There is a piece that does not belong. It is a photo of a monkey. A monkey wearing a hat and glasses. A monkey smiling and holding a banana. + +"Wow, what is this?" Ben asks. He picks up the piece. + +"That is not a farm animal!" Mia says. "That is a crazy monkey!" + +They laugh. They think the monkey is funny. They wonder who put the monkey in the puzzle. + +"Maybe it was your brother," Ben says. "He likes to make jokes." + +"Maybe it was your sister," Mia says. "She likes to be silly." + +They do not know who did it. But they do not mind. They like the crazy monkey. They put the monkey in the middle of the puzzle. They think it makes the puzzle more fun. They finish the puzzle. They are proud. They solved the puzzle with the crazy monkey. +Tom is a fireman. He wears a red uniform and a big hat. He drives a powerful truck with a loud siren. He helps people when there is a fire. + +One day, Tom gets a call. There is a fire at a school. He and his friends rush to the scene. They see smoke and flames. They hear children crying. Tom is brave. He grabs a hose and sprays water at the fire. + +"Help, help!" a voice shouts. Tom looks around. He sees a little girl trapped in a window. She is scared and hot. Tom climbs a ladder and reaches the window. He breaks the glass and pulls the girl out. He wraps her in a blanket and carries her to safety. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the girl says. She hugs Tom. "You are a hero!" + +Tom smiles. He is happy he saved the girl. He gives her a bottle of water. "Here, drink this. It will make you feel better." + +The girl drinks the water. She feels cooler and calmer. She looks at Tom's uniform. She thinks he is very cool. She says, "When I grow up, I want to be a fireman like you!" + +Tom laughs. He says, "You can be anything you want to be. Just remember to be brave and kind." + +The girl nods. She says, "I will. And I will always remember you, Tom the fireman!" + +The end. +Tom and Mia are playing with blocks. They like to make different shapes and colors with the blocks. Tom has a lot of black blocks. He likes to make a pattern with them. He puts one black block, then two black blocks, then three black blocks, and so on. + +Mia sees Tom's pattern. She thinks it is pretty. She wants to make the same pattern. She takes some of Tom's black blocks. She puts them next to her blocks. + +Tom sees Mia taking his blocks. He is angry. He says, "Mia, stop! Those are my blocks! You can't take them!" + +Mia says, "But I like your pattern. I want to make it too. Please, can I have some of your blocks?" + +Tom says, "No, you can't. You have your own blocks. You can make your own pattern. Give me back my blocks!" + +Mia feels sad. She does not want to make Tom angry. She gives him back his blocks. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to make you mad. I just liked your pattern." + +Tom feels sorry too. He sees that Mia is sad. He says, "It's okay, Mia. I'm sorry I yelled at you. You can have some of my blocks. We can make the pattern together." + +Mia smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I like your pattern. And I like you." + +Tom smiles too. He says, "You're welcome, Mia. You are a good friend too. I like your blocks. And I like you." + +They hug. They share the blocks. They make the pattern together. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. The box is tall and has a ribbon on it. + +"Wow, what is in the box?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe a toy or a cake," Ben says. + +"Can we open it?" Anna says. + +Ben looks around. He does not see anyone. He says, "OK, but we have to be quick. And we have to make a promise." + +"What promise?" Anna says. + +"We have to promise to share whatever is in the box. And we have to promise not to tell anyone. It is a secret," Ben says. + +"OK, I promise. You promise too," Anna says. + +They both say, "I promise." + +They go to the box and pull the ribbon. The box opens. Inside, they see a big teddy bear. It is soft and brown and has a red bow. + +"Wow, it is a teddy bear!" Anna says. + +"It is so cute!" Ben says. + +They hug the teddy bear. They are happy. They take turns to hold it. + +"Thank you, box," they say. + +They play with the teddy bear until it is time to go home. They put the teddy bear back in the box and close it. They say goodbye to the box and to each other. + +They keep their promise. They do not tell anyone about the box and the teddy bear. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are cooks. They have a big pan and some spoons and cups. They fill the pan with water and put it on the table. + +"Let's make soup!" Anna says. "I will add some salt and pepper." + +She takes a spoon and pretends to sprinkle some salt and pepper in the water. She stirs the water with the spoon. + +"Can I help?" Ben asks. He wants to stir the water too. + +"Yes, you can help. Pass me that cup, please." Anna says. She points to a cup on the shelf. + +Ben reaches for the cup, but he is too short. He tries to stand on his toes, but he loses his balance. He falls and knocks over the pan. The water spills all over the table and the floor. + +"Oh no!" Anna cries. "Look what you did! You made a big mess!" + +She is angry with Ben. She thinks he is clumsy and silly. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to." Ben says. He feels sad and sorry. He didn't want to make Anna angry. + +He picks up the pan and tries to wipe the water with a cloth. + +"Let me help you, Ben." Anna says. She sees that Ben is sad and sorry. She is not angry anymore. She thinks he is nice and kind. + +She takes another cloth and helps him wipe the water. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend." Ben says. He smiles at Anna. + +"You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too." Anna says. She smiles back at Ben. + +They hug and make up. They decide to play something else. They are happy again. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big box near the slide. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Max said. He tried to pull the lid, but it was too heavy. "Help me, Lily!" + +Lily ran to Max and grabbed the other side of the lid. They pulled and pulled, but the box did not open. They felt something move inside. They heard a loud roar. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked. She was scared, but also curious. + +"I don't know, maybe a lion!" Max said. He was brave, but also nervous. + +They decided to peek inside the box. They lifted the lid a little bit and saw a furry face with big eyes and horns. It was not a lion, it was something else. Something unique. + +"Hello, I'm Zee," the creature said. "I'm a zebra-unicorn. I was on a trip to the zoo, but I got lost. Can you help me?" + +Lily and Max were surprised, but also happy. They had never seen a zebra-unicorn before. They wanted to be friends with Zee. + +"Hi, Zee, we're Lily and Max," they said. "We can help you find the zoo. Come with us!" + +They opened the box and helped Zee out. He was very grateful. He followed them to the gate of the park, where they saw a zoo truck. They waved to the driver, who was looking for Zee. + +"Thank you, Lily and Max, you are very kind," Zee said. "You are also very unique. I hope we can meet again someday." + +He gave them a hug and a lick, then climbed into the truck. Lily and Max waved goodbye, then went back to the slide. They had a new story to tell. They had met a zebra-unicorn. +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat chocolate. One day, their grandma sends them a big box of chocolate. They are very happy and thank grandma on the phone. + +Tom and Sue want to share the chocolate with their friends. But they are too lazy to go outside. They stay in their room and eat the chocolate by themselves. They eat and eat until they feel sick. Their tummies hurt and they have no more chocolate. + +Their friends knock on the door. They want to play with Tom and Sue. But Tom and Sue do not want to play. They are too sick and too sad. They tell their friends to go away. + +Their friends are angry and hurt. They think Tom and Sue are mean and selfish. They do not want to be friends with them anymore. They go to play with other kids. + +Tom and Sue cry. They wish they had shared the chocolate with their friends. They wish they had not been so lazy. They learn a lesson. They say sorry to their friends and promise to be nice and generous. They hope their friends will forgive them and play with them again. +Lily and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a man selling balloons of many colors. Lily wanted a pink balloon and Ben wanted a blue one. Mom gave them some money and they ran to the man. + +"Can we have a balloon, please?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, here you go. One pink and one blue balloon for you," the man said. He tied the balloons to their wrists and smiled. + +"Thank you!" Lily and Ben said. They were very happy with their balloons. They waved them in the air and ran around the park. + +But then, Ben saw a huge slide. He wanted to go on it. He forgot about his balloon and ran to the slide. He climbed up the ladder and slid down. He had fun, but when he looked at his wrist, he saw that his balloon was gone. He had dropped it when he climbed the ladder. He felt sad and cried. + +"Ben, what's wrong?" Lily asked. She saw him crying and ran to him. + +"I lost my balloon. I dropped it when I went on the slide. I can't find it," Ben said. + +"Oh, Ben, I'm sorry. That's too bad. Do you want to share my balloon with me?" Lily asked. She held out her pink balloon to him. + +"Really? You would share your balloon with me?" Ben asked. + +"Of course. You are my brother and I love you. We can both play with the pink balloon. It's okay if it's not blue," Lily said. + +Ben smiled and hugged Lily. He took the pink balloon and thanked her. They played with the balloon together and had fun. Mom saw them and was proud of them. + +The moral of the story is: It's good to share with others, especially when they are sad. Balloons are fun, but they can fly away. Family and friends are more important. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to explore the woods near their home. One day, they found an ancient cabin that looked old and broken. They wanted to see what was inside, so they opened the door and walked in. + +The cabin was dark and dusty, and had many things that Ben and Mia did not know. There were books, pots, tools, and pictures on the walls. They saw a big fireplace, but there was no fire. They heard a strange noise, like a growl, coming from the corner. + +"Who's there?" Ben asked, trying to sound brave. + +A big, black bear came out of the shadows and looked at them with angry eyes. It showed its teeth and roared, making the cabin shake. + +Ben and Mia were very scared. They trembled and hugged each other. They wished they had never entered the cabin. + +"Please, don't hurt us, Mr. Bear!" Mia cried. "We're sorry, we didn't know you lived here!" + +The bear did not listen. It moved closer to them, ready to attack. + +Suddenly, they heard another noise, like a whistle, from outside. It was their dad, who had followed their tracks and found the cabin. He had a gun and a flashlight, and he saw the bear. + +"Ben! Mia! Get out of there, now!" he shouted. + +Ben and Mia ran to the door and escaped the cabin. Their dad shot the gun in the air, making the bear run away. + +They hugged their dad and thanked him for saving them. He was angry and relieved at the same time. + +"What were you thinking, going into that cabin?" he asked. "That's a dangerous place, and that bear could have killed you!" + +"We're sorry, dad, we were curious," Ben said. + +"We won't do it again, dad, we promise," Mia said. + +They went back to their home, and their dad told them to never go near the cabin again. He also told them stories about the ancient cabin, and how it used to belong to a hunter who had died long ago. Ben and Mia listened and learned, and they never forgot their adventure. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with a long trunk. They want to hug the trunk. + +Lila runs to the tree first. She wraps her arms around the trunk. She says, "This is my tree. I hug it." + +Ben is sad. He wants to hug the tree too. He says, "No, this is our tree. We can hug it together." + +Lila and Ben start to argue. They pull and push each other. They are not friends anymore. + +A bird is watching them from a branch. The bird is smart. It knows how to make them stop. It flies down and lands on the trunk. It says, "Tweet, tweet, tweet. This is my tree. You can't hug it." + +Lila and Ben are surprised. They look at the bird. They see that the bird is small and cute. They think that the bird is funny. They forget to argue. They laugh. + +The bird says, "Tweet, tweet, tweet. You can hug the tree if you hug each other first." + +Lila and Ben smile. They hug each other. They say, "We are sorry. We are friends again." + +They hug the trunk together. The bird joins them. They are happy. +Bella was a modest bunny who liked to hop and play in the meadow. She had many friends, like Milo the mouse, Lily the lamb and Fido the fox. They always had fun together, sharing carrots, grass and berries. + +One day, a new bunny came to the meadow. His name was Zane, and he was not modest at all. He was big and loud and bossy. He said he was the best at everything, and he wanted all the food and toys for himself. He made fun of Bella and her friends, and chased them away from their favorite spots. + +Bella and her friends were sad and scared. They did not know what to do. They tried to be nice to Zane, but he was mean to them. They tried to avoid Zane, but he followed them. They tried to stand up to Zane, but he was too strong and fast. + +One day, Zane found a new toy in the meadow. It was a shiny ball with a zigzag pattern on it. He grabbed it and ran away, laughing. He did not care that it belonged to someone else. He thought it was the coolest toy ever, and he wanted to keep it for himself. + +He played with the ball for a while, bouncing it and rolling it and throwing it. He did not notice that the ball had a hole in it, and that something was coming out of it. It was pepper, and it made Zane sneeze. + +Zane sneezed so hard that he dropped the ball. He sneezed again and again, and he could not stop. He felt his nose tickle and his eyes water. He could not see or hear or smell anything. He was miserable. + +Bella and her friends heard Zane sneezing. They were curious and worried. They went to see what was wrong. They saw Zane lying on the ground, surrounded by pepper and the ball. They realized that the ball was not a toy, but a trap. Someone had put pepper in it to catch Zane. + +Bella and her friends felt sorry for Zane. They knew he was not nice, but they did not want him to suffer. They decided to help him. They brought him some water and some flowers and some honey. They cleaned his nose and his eyes and his fur. They spoke to him softly and kindly. + +Zane was surprised and grateful. He had never been treated so well by anyone. He realized that he had been wrong to be mean and greedy and selfish. He apologized to Bella and her friends, and asked them to forgive him. He promised to be more modest and friendly and generous. + +Bella and her friends forgave Zane, and welcomed him to their group. They shared their food and toys with him, and invited him to play with them. Zane was happy and thankful. He learned to be a good bunny, and he made new friends. He never played with the zigzag ball again. He gave it back to its owner, who was a sneaky skunk. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They liked to make up stories with their toys and pretend they were on adventures. + +"Vroom, vroom, my truck is very fast and strong," Tom said. "It can go anywhere and do anything." + +"My doll is very pretty and kind," Lily said. "She likes to help people and animals." + +Tom looked at Lily's doll and saw a shiny pin on her dress. He was curious about the pin and wanted to touch it. + +"What is that on your doll's dress?" he asked Lily. He used the word "question" to ask something. + +"That is a pin," Lily said. "It is a small thing that can hold things together. Mommy gave it to me. She said it was very special." + +"Can I see it?" Tom asked. He reached out his hand to take the pin. + +"No, you can't," Lily said. She pulled her doll away from Tom. "The pin is mine and it fits my doll. It does not fit your truck. You might lose it or hurt yourself." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He wanted to see the pin and play with it. He did not understand why Lily did not want to share. + +"That is not fair," he said. "You always have to share. Sharing is good." + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to share her pin. She liked it too much. + +"No, I don't have to share," she said. "The pin is mine and I love it." + +Tom and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and said mean words. They did not sound like friends anymore. + +Mommy heard them and came to the living room. She saw them fighting over the pin and the doll. She was not happy. + +"What is going on here?" she asked. She used the word "question" to find out what was wrong. + +Tom and Lily stopped arguing and looked at Mommy. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +"We were playing with our toys and then we had a fight," Tom said. + +"Lily has a pin and she does not want to share it with me," Tom said. + +"Tom wants to take my pin and he does not understand that it is special to me," Lily said. + +Mommy sighed. She knew that Tom and Lily were both wrong. They needed to learn how to respect each other and their things. + +"Tom, you should not try to take Lily's pin without her permission. It is her toy and she can decide what to do with it. You should ask her nicely and respect her answer. Maybe she will let you see it or play with it another time," Mommy said. + +"Lily, you should not be selfish and rude. It is nice to share your toys with your brother sometimes. He is curious and interested in your pin. You should explain to him why it is special to you and let him look at it or touch it gently. Maybe he will appreciate it and like it too," Mommy said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood what Mommy said. They felt sorry for hurting each other's feelings. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I should not have tried to take your pin. Can you tell me why it is special to you?" + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I should not have been mean to you. I can show you my pin. It is special to me because Mommy gave it to me. It was her pin when she was a little girl. She said it was a gift from Grandma. It has a flower on it and it sparkles in the light." + +Tom looked at the pin and smiled. He saw the flower and the sparkle. He thought it was pretty and special too. + +"Wow, that is a nice pin," he said. "Thank you for showing it to me. I understand why you love it." + +Lily smiled back. She felt happy that Tom liked her pin. She felt generous and kind. + +"You're welcome," she said. "Do you want to play with it for a little while? You can put it on your truck if you want. But be careful not to lose it or hurt yourself." + +Tom was surprised and happy. He did not expect Lily to share her pin with him. He felt grateful and careful. + +"Really? Thank you, Lily. That is very nice of you. I will be careful with your pin. I will not lose it or hurt myself. I will give it back to you soon," he said. + +Tom and Lily hugged each other. They said sorry and thank you. They felt like friends again. + +Mommy smiled. She was proud of Tom and Lily. They learned how to question, share and fit. They learned how to play and get along. She gave them a kiss and a hug. She +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park near the pond. There were many ducks and swans in the pond. Lily and Max loved to feed them bread and watch them swim. + +One day, they saw a new swan in the pond. It was white and big and had a long neck. Lily thought it was the most charming swan she had ever seen. She wanted to give it all her bread. Max thought it was a mean swan. He saw it snap at the other ducks and swans. He wanted to scare it away. + +Lily and Max began to quarrel. Lily said, "This swan is so charming. I want to be its friend. It needs more bread than the others." Max said, "No, this swan is so rude. It hurts the other birds. It does not need any bread. It needs to go away." They pulled and pushed each other. They dropped their bread on the ground. + +The swan saw the bread and swam towards them. It opened its beak and hissed. It bit Lily's hand and Max's leg. They cried out in pain and ran away. The swan ate all the bread and flapped its wings. + +Lily and Max learned their lesson. They should not quarrel over the swan. They should share their bread with all the birds. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They went home and put some ice on their wounds. They hoped the swan would be nicer next time. +One day, a pirate named Tom was sailing on his big boat. He liked to find gold and jewels and fill his chest with them. He had a map that showed him where to dig for treasure on an island. + +He saw the island and said, "Ahoy, mateys! Let's go and get the treasure!" He and his friends got off the boat and took their shovels and their chest. They followed the map and found a big X on the ground. + +They started to dig and dig, but they did not find anything. They dug deeper and deeper, but they only found dirt and rocks. They looked at the map again and saw that it was a fake. Someone had tricked them! + +Tom was very sad and angry. He said, "Who did this to us? Who gave us this bad map? We wasted our time and our energy for nothing!" He threw the map on the ground and stomped on it. + +He and his friends went back to their boat, feeling sad and tired. They had no treasure to fill their chest. They had no gold or jewels to make them happy. They only had a bad map and a big hole. They wished they had a real map and a real treasure. +Tommy liked to draw with his crayons. He had many colors and he made pictures of his family, his dog, and his toys. He liked to show his drawings to his mom and dad, who always said they were very good and gave him hugs. + +One day, Tommy wanted to draw a big picture of a dinosaur. He looked for a big paper, but he could not find any. He saw a paper on the table, but it had many words on it. It was his dad's work paper. Tommy thought it was boring and he wanted to make it more fun. He took his crayons and started to draw a dinosaur over the words. + +His dad came into the room and saw what Tommy was doing. He was very angry and shouted, "Tommy, what are you doing? That is my important paper! You ruined it!" He took the paper and the crayons from Tommy and threw them in the trash. + +Tommy felt very sad and scared. He did not mean to make his dad angry. He wanted to make him happy. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to draw a dinosaur for you. I love you." + +His dad looked at Tommy and saw his tears. He felt sorry for yelling at him. He realized that Tommy did not know that the paper was important. He hugged Tommy and said, "I'm sorry, too, son. I love you, too. I know you like to draw, but you have to resist drawing on papers that are not yours. They might belong to someone else who needs them. Here, let me give you a new paper and some stickers. You can draw a dinosaur and decorate it with stickers. How does that sound?" + +Tommy smiled and nodded. He was happy that his dad was not angry anymore. He took the new paper and the stickers and started to draw a new dinosaur. He hoped his dad would like it. He felt a little embarrassed for drawing on his dad's paper, but he learned his lesson. He decided to always ask before he used someone else's paper. He thought that was a good way to be a good boy. +Lila likes to step on the prunes that fall from the big tree in her yard. She thinks they are funny and squishy. She likes to hear the pop sound they make when she steps on them. She does not like to eat them. She thinks they are yucky and wrinkly. + +One day, Lila sees a big prune on the ground. She runs to step on it. But she does not see the broken branch that is next to it. She trips on the branch and falls down. She hurts her knee and starts to cry. She feels a bump on her knee and sees some blood. + +Mom hears Lila cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lila on the ground with the broken branch and the prune. She picks up Lila and hugs her. She says, "Oh, Lila, you are okay. You just have a little boo-boo. Let me clean it and put a band-aid on it. Then you will feel better." + +Mom takes Lila inside and washes her knee. She puts a band-aid on it and gives her a kiss. She says, "There, all done. Do you want a cookie?" Lila nods and smiles. She says, "Yes, please. Can I have a chocolate chip one?" Mom says, "Of course, you can. You are a brave girl. But no more stepping on prunes, okay? They are for the birds." Lila says, "Okay, Mom. I love you." Mom says, "I love you too, Lila." They hug and eat cookies. Lila forgets about the prune and the broken branch. She is happy. +Bee and Ant were friends. They liked to play and help each other. One day, they saw a big hole in Bee's hive. The hole was bad. It let the rain and the wind come in. It also let the honey drip out. The honey made a sticky mess on the ground. + +"Oh no!" said Bee. "My hive is broken. How can I fix it?" + +"Don't worry," said Ant. "I can help you. I know how to fix things. We need some mud and some leaves. Come with me." + +Bee and Ant went to find some mud and some leaves. They worked hard to fill the hole with mud. Then they covered the mud with leaves. They made the hive strong and cozy again. + +"Thank you, Ant," said Bee. "You are a good friend. You fixed my hive. Do you want some honey?" + +"Yes, please," said Ant. "I love honey. It is sweet and yummy." + +Bee and Ant went inside the hive. They shared some honey and some stories. They were happy and warm. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a bear. The bear smelled the honey. He wanted to eat it. He saw the hive and the sticky mess on the ground. He thought it was disgusting. + +"Yuck!" said the bear. "This honey is dirty and gross. I don't want it. I will find another hive." + +The bear left the hive alone. He went away. Bee and Ant did not see him. They did not know he was there. They kept eating and talking. They did not care about the disgusting mess. They only cared about their friendship. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play basketball in the park. They had a big orange ball that bounced high. They threw the ball to each other and tried to make it go in the hoop. + +One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was black and hairy. It had sharp teeth and a loud bark. The dog ran to Tim and Sam and grabbed their ball. It bit the ball hard and made a hole in it. The air came out of the ball and it stopped bouncing. The ball was dead. + +Tim and Sam were sad and angry. They shouted at the dog and tried to get their ball back. But the dog was stronger and faster. It ran away with the ball in its mouth. + +"Bad dog! Give us our ball!" Tim said. + +"No, it's our ball now!" the dog said. The dog could talk! + +Tim and Sam were surprised and scared. They had never heard a dog talk before. They looked at each other and frowned. They did not like the dog. They did not like the dog's voice. They did not like the dog's words. + +"Who are you? Why did you take our ball?" Sam asked. + +"I am Rex. I am the king of the park. I take whatever I want. And I want your ball. It is fun to bite and pop. It makes a nice sound. Pop! Pop! Pop!" the dog said. + +Tim and Sam did not think it was fun. They thought it was mean and rude. They wanted their ball back. They wanted to play basketball. They wanted to have fun. + +"Please, Rex. Give us our ball. It was our favorite ball. We need it to play. We will be nice to you. We will share with you. We will be your friends." Tim said. + +The dog laughed. It was a mean laugh. It did not sound like a friend. + +"Ha ha ha! You are silly. You are weak. You are not my friends. You are my toys. I will play with you and your ball. I will bite you and pop you. Pop! Pop! Pop!" the dog said. + +Tim and Sam were very scared. They did not want to be the dog's toys. They did not want to be bitten and popped. They wanted to run away. But the dog was blocking their way. They did not know what to do. They wished someone would help them. They wished someone would save them. They wished someone would make the dog go away. +Sara and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big gem in the sand. It was red and sparkly. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Let me see!" Ben said. He grabbed the gem from Sara's hand. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Sara said. She pulled the gem back. They started to fight over the gem. + +An elderly lady was walking by. She saw the children fighting. She wanted to help them. She walked over to them and said, "Hello, children. Why are you fighting?" + +They stopped fighting and looked at her. She had a kind face and a long dress. She smiled at them. + +"We found this gem in the sand," Sara said. "But he wants to take it from me!" + +"No, she wants to take it from me!" Ben said. + +The lady nodded. She said, "I see. Well, maybe I can help you. Do you know what this gem is?" + +They shook their heads. They did not know. + +The lady said, "This gem is very special. It is a magic gem. It can grant you one wish. But you have to share it. If you both make a wish, it will come true. But if you fight over it, it will disappear. Do you understand?" + +They nodded. They did not want the gem to disappear. They wanted to make a wish. + +The lady said, "Good. Now, close your eyes and hold the gem together. Think of something you really want. Then say it out loud. Ready?" + +They closed their eyes and held the gem together. They thought of something they really wanted. + +Sara said, "I wish I had a big dollhouse!" + +Ben said, "I wish I had a fast car!" + +They opened their eyes and looked around. But nothing happened. The gem did not grant their wishes. It did not even sparkle anymore. It was just a dull stone. + +They looked at the lady. She was not smiling anymore. She was laughing. She had a wicked face and a black cloak. She said, "Ha ha ha! You fools! You fell for my trick! This gem is not magic. It is just a fake. I made it to lure greedy children like you. And now, I will take it back. And I will take you too. You will be my slaves in my dark castle. Come with me!" + +She grabbed their hands and dragged them away. They screamed and cried. But no one heard them. No one helped them. They never saw the park or their families again. They were trapped with the evil lady forever. The end. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games, but they also liked to wonder what was behind the big door in the hall. The door had a shiny knob that they could not reach, and a sign that said "Do not enter". Their mom and dad always went in there, but they never let Sara and Tom see what was inside. + +One day, when mom and dad were out, Sara and Tom decided to find out what was behind the door. They got a chair from the kitchen and pushed it to the hall. Tom climbed on the chair and grabbed the knob. He turned it and opened the door. Sara followed him inside. + +They saw a lot of strange things in the room. There were wires and buttons and screens and machines. There were also bottles and jars and tubes and needles. Sara and Tom did not know what they were, but they looked fun. They started to touch and play with everything. + +"Look, Sara, I found a button that makes a noise!" Tom said, as he pressed a red button. A loud siren went off, and a voice said "Warning, warning, biohazard detected!" + +"What does that mean?" Sara asked, scared. + +"I don't know, but maybe we should go back," Tom said, as he tried to open the door. But the door was locked. They could not get out. + +They heard mom and dad come home. They heard them run to the door and knock. + +"Sara, Tom, are you in there?" mom asked, worried. + +"Yes, mom, we are sorry, we wanted to see what was behind the door," Sara said, crying. + +"Oh, no, no, no, you should not have done that, this is a very dangerous room, this is where we work on our experiments, you could get very sick or hurt," dad said, angry and scared. + +"Please, mom, dad, help us, we want to get out," Tom said, sobbing. + +Mom and dad tried to open the door, but they could not. They called for help, but it was too late. Sara and Tom had touched something they should not have. They started to feel very bad. They fell to the floor and did not get up. They never got to play in their room again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sometimes they share, sometimes they fight. One day, they find a big box in the hall. It has a sticker that says "Do not open until your birthday". + +"What is in the box?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Ben says. + +"No, we can't. Mom and Dad said we have to wait. We have to be patient," Lily says. + +"But I want to know now. Maybe it is something fun. Maybe it is a bike or a doll or a robot," Ben says. + +He tries to pull the tape off the box. Lily stops him. + +"Stop it, Ben. You are being naughty. If you open the box, Mom and Dad will be mad. And you will spoil the surprise," Lily says. + +Ben pouts. He does not like to wait. He wants to see what is in the box. He thinks Lily is boring. He decides to make a plan. He waits until Lily is busy with her puzzle. Then he sneaks to the box. He stretches his arm and reaches for the tape. He thinks he is clever. + +But he is not. Lily sees him. She runs to the box and grabs his arm. + +"Ben, what are you doing? I told you not to touch the box," Lily says. + +"Let go of me, Lily. I want to see what is in the box," Ben says. + +They start to tug and pull. The box shakes and rattles. Something inside makes a loud noise. It sounds like a horn. + +"Honk! Honk!" + +Lily and Ben stop. They look at each other. They look at the box. They are scared. What is in the box? They hear footsteps. Mom and Dad are coming. + +"Oh no, we are in trouble," Lily says. + +"Maybe we are lucky. Maybe they did not hear the noise," Ben says. + +But they are not. Mom and Dad open the door. They see the twins and the box. They are not happy. + +"What are you two doing? You know you are not supposed to touch the box. It is a special gift for your birthday," Mom says. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We were curious. We wanted to see what is in the box," Lily says. + +"Well, you will have to wait until your birthday. And you will have to learn to be patient. And to listen to your sister. She was right. You were wrong," Dad says. + +He picks up the box and takes it away. He puts it in the closet and locks the door. + +"Now, go back to your room and play nicely. And no more peeking," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They go back to their room. They feel sad. They wonder what is in the box. They hope it is something fun. They hope it is a bike or a doll or a robot. They hope they are lucky. +One day, a boy named Tom found a big hat in his dad's closet. It was a pirate hat, with a skull and bones on it. Tom liked the hat and put it on his head. He said, "I am a pirate now. I will sail the sea and find treasure." + +Tom took his dad's coat and belt and made a pirate costume. He also took a wooden sword and a paper map. He went to the backyard and pretended it was his ship. He said, "Ahoy, mateys! Let's go to the island and dig for gold." + +But Tom was a naughty pirate. He did not share his map or his sword with his sister, Lily. He said, "This is my treasure and my ship. You can't play with me. Go away, Lily." Lily was sad and angry. She said, "You are a mean pirate, Tom. You are not nice to me. I will tell mom." + +Lily ran to the house and told mom what Tom did. Mom was not happy. She said, "Tom, you are in trouble. You can't take dad's things without asking. You can't be rude to your sister. You can't be a pirate. You have to be a good boy." + +Mom went to the backyard and took away Tom's hat, coat, belt, sword and map. She said, "You have to say sorry to Lily and dad. You have to give back their things. You have to end your pirate game. You have to play nicely with Lily." + +Tom was sad and sorry. He said, "I am sorry, mom. I am sorry, Lily. I am sorry, dad. I was a naughty pirate. I will be a good boy. I will share and be kind. I will end my pirate game. Can we play something else?" + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You can be a pirate sometimes, but you have to be a nice pirate. You have to ask and share and be polite. Can we play princess and dragon?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He said, "Okay, Lily. I will be a nice pirate. You can be a princess and I will be a dragon. We will have fun and be happy. We will play together." + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She said, "That's good, Tom and Lily. I love you both. You are my sweet children. You can play princess and dragon, but be careful and don't break anything. Have fun." + +Tom and Lily said, "We love you too, mom. Thank you. We will be careful and don't break anything. We will have fun." + +They put on their new costumes and played princess and dragon. They had fun and were happy. They ended their pirate game and started a new one. They were nice to each other and to mom and dad. They were good children. The end. +Lily was very happy today. It was her birthday and she had a big cake with candles. She blew the candles and made a wish. She wished for a new car to play with. + +"Happy birthday, Lily!" her mom and dad said. They gave her a big hug and a big box. Lily opened the box and saw a shiny, clean car inside. It was red and had four wheels and a horn. Lily loved it. + +"Wow, thank you, mom and dad!" Lily said. She took the car out of the box and ran to the living room. She put the car on the floor and pushed it around. She made vroom-vroom noises and honked the horn. The car was fast and fun. + +"Can I play with your car, Lily?" her brother Max asked. He was four years old and liked cars too. + +"Sure, Max, you can play with my car," Lily said. She was a good sister and liked to share. She gave Max the car and they played together. They raced the car on the carpet and pretended to go to different places. + +Lily and Max had a lot of fun with the car. They were happy and grateful. They received a great gift for Lily's birthday. +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play with their toys. But sometimes they did not share well. One day, they both wanted the same red car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Mine!" said Lily. + +"No, mine!" said Sam. + +They were so angry that they did not see the table. They bumped into it and the car flew out of their hands. It hit the window and broke it. Glass fell on the floor and cut their feet. They cried and cried. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and ran to see what happened. They saw the broken window, the blood and the tears. They were very worried. They wrapped their feet with towels and took them to the hospital. + +At the hospital, a nice doctor looked at their feet and put some bandages on them. He said they would be okay, but they had to be careful. He also gave them a sticker and a lollipop each. + +Lily and Sam felt better, but they also felt sorry. They knew they had been bad. They looked at each other and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Lily. I should have shared the car with you." + +"Sorry, Sam. I should have let you play with it too." + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to share their stickers and lollipops. Mom and Dad were proud of them. They said they loved them and took them home. They learned a lesson that day. Sharing is caring. +Ben and Lily liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could make towers, houses, bridges and more with their blocks. + +One day, they decided to make a mighty castle with their blocks. They worked hard and used many blocks to build the walls, the gate, the towers and the flags. They were very proud of their castle. + +But then they had a problem. They wanted to know how many blocks they used to make their castle. They could not count all the blocks by themselves. They needed help. + +They asked their mom to help them. Mom came and looked at their castle. She said it was very nice and very mighty. She said she would help them count the blocks. + +She took a paper and a pen and wrote down the numbers. She pointed to each block and said the number out loud. Ben and Lily repeated the numbers after her. They discussed the numbers with mom and learned how to write them. + +They counted all the blocks and found out they used 52 blocks to make their castle. They were very happy and thanked mom for helping them. They said they learned a lot about numbers and blocks. Mom said she was proud of them and gave them a hug. They hugged her back and smiled. +Tom and Ann were humble kids who lived with their mom and dad in a small house. They liked to play with their toys and read books, but they also liked to help their parents with chores. One day, their mom asked them to number the ashtrays in the living room, because she wanted to clean them. + +"What is number?" Tom asked. + +"Number is when you say one, two, three, and so on," Ann explained. "You can use a crayon to write the number on the ashtray, like this." She showed him how to write a one on the first ashtray. + +"Oh, I see," Tom said. "Can I do the next one?" + +"Sure, you can do the second one," Ann said. "But be careful, the ashtrays are dirty and breakable." + +Tom and Ann started to number the ashtrays, but they did not notice that their dad had left his cigarette on the sofa. The cigarette was still burning, and it slowly made a hole in the cushion. Smoke started to come out of the sofa, but Tom and Ann were too busy with the ashtrays to smell it. + +"Look, I did the third one," Tom said proudly. + +"Good job, Tom," Ann said. "But I think we should stop now, because mom will be back soon." + +"Okay, let's put the crayon away," Tom said. + +They put the crayon in the drawer, and then they heard their mom's voice. + +"Tom, Ann, I'm home!" she said. "Did you number the ashtrays for me?" + +"Yes, mom, we did," Tom and Ann said. They ran to the door to greet their mom, but they stopped when they saw her face. + +"Tom, Ann, what is that smell?" she asked. "Is something burning?" + +They turned around and saw the smoke coming from the sofa. They gasped and ran to the sofa, but it was too late. The sofa was on fire, and the fire was spreading to the curtains. + +"Mom, help!" they cried. "The sofa is on fire!" + +Their mom grabbed a blanket and tried to put out the fire, but it was too big. She called the firemen, and they came with a big truck and a loud siren. They sprayed water on the fire, and they put it out. They also checked if Tom and Ann were okay. + +"Are you hurt?" one of the firemen asked. + +"No, we are not hurt," Tom and Ann said. + +"But how did this happen?" the fireman asked. + +Tom and Ann looked at each other, and then at the ashtrays. They saw the cigarette that their dad had left on the sofa. They felt very sorry and scared. + +"We were numbering the ashtrays for mom," Tom said. + +"And we did not see the cigarette," Ann said. + +The fireman nodded and said, "I see. Well, you should never play with ashtrays or cigarettes, because they are very dangerous. They can start a fire, and a fire can hurt you and your house. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, we understand," Tom and Ann said. + +They hugged their mom and said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to start a fire." + +Their mom hugged them back and said, "I know, my loves. I'm glad you are safe. But you have to be more careful next time, okay?" + +"Okay, mom," Tom and Ann said. + +They learned a lesson that day, and they never played with ashtrays or cigarettes again. They also thanked the firemen for saving their house, and they gave them some cookies. The firemen smiled and said, "You are welcome, kids. You are very humble and brave." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garage. The garage has many things. There are boxes, tools, bikes and a car. Anna and Ben have fun with the things. + +One day, they find a thin rope in a box. The rope is long and soft. Anna and Ben have an idea. They want to make a swing with the rope. They look for a place to hang the rope. + +They see a big hook on the ceiling of the garage. The hook is high and strong. Anna and Ben think the hook is good for the rope. They try to reach the hook, but they are too small. They need something to stand on. + +They see a stool in the corner of the garage. The stool is old and wobbly. Anna and Ben think the stool is good for the hook. They drag the stool to the middle of the garage. They put the rope on the stool. They climb on the stool. + +Anna holds the rope and tries to throw it over the hook. She misses the hook. She tries again. She misses the hook. She tries again. She misses the hook. She gets angry. + +"Ben, help me!" she says. + +Ben holds the rope with Anna. They try to throw it over the hook together. They miss the hook. They try again. They miss the hook. They try again. They miss the hook. They get angry. + +"Anna, let me do it!" he says. + +Anna and Ben start to fight over the rope. They pull the rope. They push the rope. They tug the rope. They yank the rope. They forget about the stool. + +The stool starts to shake. The stool starts to tip. The stool starts to fall. Anna and Ben start to scream. + +"Mom, help us!" they say. + +Mom hears the scream. She runs to the garage. She sees Anna and Ben on the floor. She sees the rope on the hook. She sees the stool on the car. + +Mom is not happy. She is very angry. She scolds Anna and Ben. She tells them to go to their room. She tells them to stay there. She tells them to think about what they did. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They are sorry. They go to their room. They stay there. They think about what they did. They hug each other. They say sorry to each other. They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to the car. They say sorry to the stool. They say sorry to the rope. They say sorry to the hook. They say sorry to the garage.

Lily had a big red truck and Tom had a small blue one. + +"Look, my truck can load more sand than yours!" Lily said, showing off her red truck. + +Tom felt envious. He wanted a big truck too. He looked around and saw an open box near the fence. He ran to the box and peeked inside. He saw a shiny green truck that was bigger than Lily's. + +"Wow, this is a great truck!" Tom said, taking the green truck out of the box. He did not see the label that said "Happy birthday, Ben!" + +He went back to the garden and showed Lily his new truck. "Look, my truck is bigger and better than yours!" he said, smiling. + +Lily was surprised and angry. She knew that the green truck was not Tom's. It was Ben's, their neighbor's. Ben's birthday was tomorrow and his mom had left the box outside for a while. + +"That's not your truck, Tom! That's Ben's truck! You took it from his box!" Lily said, pointing at the fence. + +Tom felt ashamed. He knew he had done something wrong. He liked the green truck, but he did not want to hurt Ben or Lily. He decided to return the green truck to the box and say sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Ben. I was envious of your trucks and I took the green truck without asking. It was not nice of me. Can you forgive me?" Tom said, putting the green truck back in the box. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were glad that Tom was honest and sorry. They decided to share their trucks with him and play together. + +They had fun loading and unloading sand and rocks with their trucks. They were not envious anymore. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the big house. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She began to search for Ben in every room. + +She looked under the bed, behind the sofa, in the closet, but she could not find him. She wondered where he was hiding. She heard a giggle from the basement. She ran down the stairs and saw a small door.

Their mom said yes, but only if they were careful and did not touch the fire. She gave them a candle, a lighter, and a glass jar. She told them to put the jar over the candle to see what would happen. + +Tom and Lily went to the backyard and lit the candle. They saw the flame flicker and dance. They liked the colors and the warmth. They took turns putting the jar over the candle. They saw the flame get smaller and smaller. They wondered why. + +"Maybe the flame needs air to breathe," Tom said. + +"Maybe the jar is too big and the flame is scared," Lily said. + +They tried different things to make the flame bigger again. They moved the jar closer and farther. They tilted the jar and shook it. They blew on the candle and made a wish. Nothing worked. The flame stayed small and weak. + +Tom and Lily felt frustrated. They wanted to study the flame, but they could not make it happy. They did not know what to do. + +They decided to ask their mom for help. They brought the candle and the jar to their mom. They told her what they did and what they saw. They asked her why the flame was sad. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She explained that the flame needed oxygen to burn. Oxygen was a kind of air that was invisible but very important. She said that when they put the jar over the candle, they trapped the oxygen inside. The flame used up the oxygen and had none left. That was why the flame got smaller and smaller. + +She showed them how to lift the jar slightly and let some fresh air in. She said that this way, the flame would have enough oxygen to burn brightly again. She said that they could try different sizes and shapes of jars and see how the flame changed. + +Tom and Lily thanked their mom and went back to the backyard. They were happy to see the flame grow and shrink as they played with the jars. They learned a lot about flames and oxygen. They had fun studying fire. +Lily and Tom are twins.

They run to the door, but the suit is too heavy. They fall down and get tangled in the suit. They can't get up. + +"Help, help!" they cry. "We are stuck in the suit!" + +Their mom comes to the room and sees them. She smiles and helps them out of the suit. She says, "You two are very funny. But you should not play with my suit. It is not for children. It is for work." + +She hugs them and takes them to the kitchen. She has made their favorite food: macaroni and cheese. Lily and Tom are hungry. They forget about the suit and eat their food. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big jar on a bench.

"But we have to be careful. Maybe someone is looking for it." + +They grab the jar and run to the swings. They hide the jar under the slide. They want to stay there until the park is empty. Then they can go to the shop. + +But soon, a man comes to the park. He looks angry and sad. He walks around and asks people if they have seen his jar. He says he lost it and he needs it for his rent. + +Lily and Tom hear him. They feel sorry for him. They look at each other. They have an idea. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lily says. "We found your jar.

The cooler was big and white and had cold drinks inside. They made a track with tape and put a flag at the end. They said, "Ready, set, go!" and started to push their cars. + +Tom and Sam were very competitive. They wanted to be the best and beat the other. They pushed their cars hard and fast, and tried to pass each other. Sometimes they bumped and crashed, and sometimes they shouted and argued. They did not have fun, they only cared about winning. + +After many laps, they reached the flag at the same time. They both said, "I won!" and looked at each other. They could not agree on who was first and who was second. They started to fight and push and pull. They knocked over the cooler and spilled the drinks. They made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the boys fighting. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, right now! You are both in trouble. You need to clean up and apologize. And no more racing cars for today. You need to learn to play nicely and share and have fun. Racing is not everything." + +Tom and Sam felt bad. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, brother." They helped to clean up and put the cooler back. They hugged and said, "Let's play something else. Something that we can both enjoy. How about puzzles or blocks or books?" + +Mom smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I'm glad you settled your problem. Now you can have some snacks and drinks from the cooler. But be careful and don't spill them again." + +Tom and Sam nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They took some snacks and drinks and went to the living room. They played with puzzles and blocks and books. They had fun and laughed and talked. They were happy and friendly and kind. They were good brothers. +Lila and Sam were thirsty and tired. They walked a long time in the hot sand. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw a green spot far away. They hoped it was an oasis. + +"Look, Sam, maybe there is water there!" Lila said. + +"Let's go, Lila, maybe we can rest there!" Sam said. + +They ran towards the green spot. They were happy and excited. They thought they were lucky. But when they got closer, they saw something bad. The green spot was not an oasis. It was a big pile of trash. There was no water, no shade, only dirt and smell. + +"Yuck, this is not an oasis, this is a dump!" Lila said. + +"What a trick, this is not water, this is poison!" Sam said. + +They felt sad and angry. They wanted to leave. But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It came fast and threw more trash on the pile. Lila and Sam were scared. They tried to run away. But they were too late. The trash covered them. They could not breathe. They could not see. They could not move. + +"Help, help!" Lila and Sam cried. + +But no one heard them. No one came. They were alone and trapped. They sneezed and coughed. They felt sick and cold. They wished they had not run to the trash. They wished they had looked for a real oasis. They wished they had been more careful and smart. + +The moral of the story is: Do not trust what you see from far away. It may not be what you think. It may be dangerous and bad. Be wise and check before you go. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It is deep and dark. + +"Wow, look at that hole!" Ben says. "I wonder what is inside." + +"Maybe it is a secret tunnel," Lily says. "Or a cave with treasure." + +"Let's go and see," Ben says. He runs to the hole. + +"Wait, Ben!" Lily says. "It might be dangerous. What if you fall in?" + +Ben stops at the edge of the hole. He looks down. He cannot see anything. + +"It is okay, Lily," he says. "I will be careful. I will hold on to this branch." + +He points to a branch that sticks out of the hole. + +Lily is scared. She does not want Ben to go in the hole. She thinks it is too deep and too dark. + +"Please, Ben, don't go," she says. "Let's play something else. Let's go on the swings or the slide." + +Ben looks at Lily. He sees that she is worried. He does not want to make her sad. + +He nods his head. He says, "Okay, Lily, you are right. The hole is too deep and too dark. Let's play something else." + +He walks away from the hole. He takes Lily's hand. They go to the swings and the slide. They have fun. + +They are happy. They are good friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they are playing in the garden when Tom starts to sneeze. + +"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" Tom sneezes loud. + +"Are you sick, Tom?" Mia asks. She is worried. + +"No, I am not sick. I am allergic to flowers. They make me sneeze." Tom says. + +Mia looks at the flowers. They are pretty and colorful. She likes them. + +"Can I pick some flowers for you, Tom? Maybe they will make you feel better." Mia says. + +Tom shakes his head. He knows the truth. Flowers will make him sneeze more. + +"No, thank you, Mia. Flowers are not good for me. They make my nose itch and my eyes water." Tom says. + +Mia thinks for a moment. She wants to help Tom. She has an idea. + +"I know what will make you feel better, Tom. A hug!" Mia says. She runs to Tom and gives him a big hug. + +Tom smiles. He feels warm and happy. He stops sneezing. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. A hug is better than flowers." Tom says. + +Mia smiles too. She is proud. She helped Tom. + +"You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. A hug is better than anything." Mia says. + +They hug again. They are happy. They go back to playing with blocks and dolls. +Sara and Ben are playing in the living room. Sara has a folder with many pictures that she drew. She likes to show them to Ben and tell him what they are. Ben likes to look at them and say what he sees. + +"Look, Ben, this is a cat. It has fur and whiskers and a tail. Do you understand?" Sara says, holding up a picture. + +"Yes, I understand. It is a cat. Meow!" Ben says, making a sound. + +"Good. And this is a flower. It has petals and a stem and smells nice. Do you understand?" Sara says, holding up another picture. + +"Yes, I understand. It is a flower. Sniff!" Ben says, pretending to smell it. + +"Very good. And this is a dinosaur. It has scales and teeth and is enormous. Do you understand?" Sara says, holding up the last picture. + +Ben looks at the picture and frowns. He does not understand. He has never seen a dinosaur before. He does not know what it is. + +"No, I don't understand. What is it?" Ben says, confused. + +"It is a dinosaur. It is an animal that lived a long time ago. It is very big and strong. Don't you know?" Sara says, surprised. + +"No, I don't know. I have never seen it. It is scary. I don't like it." Ben says, scared. + +Sara gets angry. She thinks Ben is silly. She thinks he should know what a dinosaur is. She thinks he does not like her pictures. + +"You are silly. You should know what a dinosaur is. It is not scary. It is cool. You don't like my pictures. You are a bad friend." Sara says, mad. + +She takes the folder and runs to her room. She slams the door. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. + +Ben feels sad. He does not think he is silly. He does not think he is a bad friend. He likes Sara and her pictures. He just does not understand what a dinosaur is. + +He wants to say sorry to Sara. He wants to learn what a dinosaur is. He wants to play with Sara again. + +He knocks on the door. He calls Sara's name. He hopes she will open the door and forgive him. He hopes they can be friends again. +Lila and Ben were playing in the backyard at night. They liked to look at the stars and make wishes. Lila saw a bright light in the sky. She pointed and said, "Look, Ben, a comet!" + +Ben looked up and saw the light too. He said, "Wow, it's so pretty! Maybe we can make a wish on it." + +Lila nodded and closed her eyes. She wished for a new doll. Ben closed his eyes and wished for a new bike. They opened their eyes and smiled at each other. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was their neighbor, Mr. Grump. He was angry and rude. He shouted, "What are you kids doing out here? You're making too much noise! Go to bed, now!" + +Lila and Ben were scared and sad. They ran inside their house. They felt like their wishes were ruined by Mr. Grump. + +The next day, Lila and Ben went to the park. They saw a girl and a boy with a new doll and a new bike. They looked happy and friendly. They waved at Lila and Ben and said, "Hi, do you want to play with us?" + +Lila and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, please!" They ran to the girl and the boy and shared their toys. They had a lot of fun. + +Lila and Ben learned that sometimes wishes don't come true the way you expect. But they also learned that being kind and sharing can make you happy and find new friends. They decided to ignore Mr. Grump and enjoy their lives. They hoped that one day he would learn to be nice too. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Lily says. She has an urge to slide down fast. She is not afraid. + +"No, Lily, it is too high!" Ben says. He shakes his head. He is obedient to his mom, who told him to be careful. + +Lily runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top and smiles. She waves to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I am going to slide!" she says. She pushes herself and slides down. She laughs as she feels the wind in her hair. + +Ben watches Lily slide. He sees her laugh. He thinks she looks happy. He feels a little urge to try the slide too. He walks to the ladder and holds on to the rails. He climbs up slowly. He reaches the top and sees Lily waiting for him. + +"Hi, Ben, you did it!" Lily says. She is proud of her friend. She holds his hand. + +"Hi, Lily, I did it!" Ben says. He is proud of himself. He looks at the slide. He is still scared, but he wants to have fun. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, Lily, I am ready!" Ben says. + +They slide down together. They laugh as they feel the wind in their hair. They are happy. They are brave. They are friends. +Mia and Leo were at the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and horses. They also saw a big field with green plants. Mom said those plants were celery. Mia and Leo liked celery. They ate it with peanut butter at home. + +Mom asked the farmer if they could pick some celery. The farmer said yes, but they had to be careful. He showed them how to pull the celery from the ground. Mia and Leo tried to do the same. They pulled and pulled, but the celery was very strong. They could not get it out. + +"Can you help us, dad?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, I can help you," dad said. He came over and helped Mia and Leo pull the celery. With a big tug, they got it out. Mia and Leo were very happy. They held the celery in their hands and smiled. + +"Wow, you did a great job!" mom said. She clapped her hands. "Let's applaud for Mia and Leo!" + +Mia and Leo heard mom clapping. They liked the sound. They clapped their hands too. They also said "yay!" and "hooray!" The farmer clapped his hands as well. He was proud of Mia and Leo. + +"Thank you for letting us pick celery," Mia said to the farmer. + +"You're very welcome," the farmer said. "You can take some home if you want." + +Mia and Leo nodded. They wanted to take some celery home. They put the celery in a bag and said goodbye to the farmer. They also said goodbye to the animals. They got in the car and drove back home. + +Mia and Leo were very sleepy. They had a lot of fun at the farm. They closed their eyes and rested their heads on the seats. They dreamed of celery and peanut butter. Mom and dad smiled and drove home. They were happy too. They had a wonderful day with Mia and Leo. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy boats in the bathtub. They liked to sail them across the water and make waves with their hands. Lily had a red boat and Tom had a blue boat. + +"Look, my boat is faster than yours!" Tom said, pushing his boat forward. + +"No, mine is faster!" Lily said, pushing her boat harder. + +They both laughed and splashed each other. But then, Lily's boat hit the edge of the tub and broke. The mast snapped and the sail fell off. + +"Oh no, my boat!" Lily cried, picking up the pieces. + +"Don't cry, Lily. I can fix it for you," Tom said, getting out of the tub. He ran to his room and came back with a bottle of glue. + +"Here, let me help you," he said, taking the broken boat from Lily. He put some glue on the mast and stuck the sail back on. He held it for a few seconds until it dried. + +"There, good as new!" he said, handing the boat back to Lily. + +"Wow, thank you, Tom! You are so kind and powerful!" Lily said, hugging him. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are my best friend," Tom said, smiling. + +They got back into the tub and sailed their boats together. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the time. They were happy. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to learn new things. One day, they learn about east and west. Mom shows them a map and a compass. She says, "East is where the sun comes up in the morning. West is where the sun goes down at night. Can you point to east and west?" + +Lila and Ben look at the map and the compass. They try to point to east and west. Lila points to the right. She says, "This is east, right?" Mom nods and smiles. Ben points to the left. He says, "This is west, right?" Mom nods and smiles. + +They are happy. They learn something new. They want to see the sun come up and go down. Mom says, "We can do that tomorrow. But now, it is time for bed. You need to be quiet and sleep well." + +Lila and Ben go to their room. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They hug Mom and say good night. They get into their beds. They are quiet and close their eyes. They dream of the sun and the east and the west. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +But Sam is envious. He does not have a friend to play with. He does not have a snowman. He is cold and lonely. He wants to have what Tom and Anna have. + +He walks over to their snowman and kicks it. The snowman falls down and breaks. Tom and Anna are sad. They cry and shout at Sam. Sam feels bad. He did a mean thing. + +He says he is sorry. He asks if he can play with them. Tom and Anna are nice. They say yes. They help him make a new snowman. They give him a hug. They are all friends now. They are not cold or envious anymore. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They found a big pile of leaves and jumped in it. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. It was fun. + +But then, Tom felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he could not. He sneezed very loud. "Achoo!" He sneezed again and again. He felt bad. + +Lily saw that Tom was sneezing. She ran to the house and got a rag. She came back and gave it to Tom. "Here, Tom. Wipe your nose with this. It will help you feel better." + +Tom took the rag and wiped his nose. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I'm sorry I sneezed on you." + +Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Tom. I don't mind. You are my friend. Friends help each other when they are sick." + +Tom smiled back and said, "You are right, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm glad we are friends." + +They hugged and went back to playing. They did not mind the bitter cold. They had each other to keep warm. + +The moral of the story is: Friends are important. They care for each other and make each other happy. +Lily was sad. She missed her mom. Her mom went to a distant place for work. She said she would come back soon, but Lily did not know when. + +She hugged her teddy bear and cried. She wanted her mom to comfort her. She wanted to hear her voice and feel her hand. + +Then she heard a knock on the door. She wiped her tears and opened it. It was her dad. He smiled and said, "Hi, Lily. I have a surprise for you." + +He held a phone in his hand. He said, "Look, it's mom. She wants to talk to you." + +Lily's eyes lit up. She took the phone and said, "Mom, mom, I miss you!" + +She heard her mom's voice. She said, "I miss you too, Lily. I love you so much. I'm sorry I have to be in a distant place, but I'll be back soon. How are you?" + +Lily told her mom about her day. She told her about her teddy bear, her friends, and her dad. She said, "I'm okay, mom. But I wish you were here." + +Her mom said, "I wish that too, Lily. But I'm proud of you for being brave and strong. You're my sweet girl. And you know what? I have a gift for you. I sent it with dad. He'll give it to you after we finish talking." + +Lily was curious. She said, "What is it, mom?" + +Her mom said, "It's something to comfort you when you miss me. It's something to remind you of me. It's something to hold in your hand." + +Lily said, "What is it, mom? Tell me, tell me!" + +Her mom said, "It's a surprise, Lily. You'll see. I love you, Lily. I'll talk to you again soon. Bye, bye." + +Lily said, "Bye, bye, mom. I love you too." + +She gave the phone back to her dad. He hugged her and said, "You're a good girl, Lily. And you're very lucky. Your mom loves you a lot. And so do I." + +He said, "Are you ready for your surprise?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, yes, yes!" + +Her dad reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. He opened it and showed it to Lily. It was a necklace. It had a heart-shaped pendant. It was shiny and pretty. + +He said, "This is your gift from mom. She made it for you. She said it's a piece of her heart. She said you can wear it and feel her love. She said it will comfort you when you miss her. She said it will remind you of her. She said it will hold her hand." + +Lily gasped. She said, "Wow, wow, wow! It's beautiful, dad. Thank you, mom. Thank you, dad." + +She put the necklace around her neck. She felt the pendant on her chest. She felt warm and happy. She felt her mom's love. She felt her mom's hand. + +She smiled and said, "I love it, dad. I love you, dad. I love mom. I love you both." + +She hugged her dad and her teddy bear. She felt comforted. She felt loved. She felt less sad. +Tommy loved to play with his aeroplane. He made it fly in the air and zoom around the room. He pretended it was going to faraway places and having adventures. He did not like to share his aeroplane with anyone. + +One day, his cousin Lily came to visit. She saw Tommy's aeroplane and wanted to play with it too. She asked Tommy, "Can I have a turn with your aeroplane, please?" + +Tommy said, "No, it's mine. Go away." He hugged his aeroplane and turned his back to Lily. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought Tommy was being spoiled and mean. She tried to grab the aeroplane from Tommy, but he resisted. He pulled it back and shouted, "Stop it! Leave me alone!" + +They started to fight over the aeroplane. They tugged and pushed and yelled. They did not hear their mums calling them to come for lunch. + +Their mums came into the room and saw them fighting. They were not happy. They took the aeroplane away from both of them and said, "That's enough. You two need to learn to share and be nice to each other. No more aeroplane for today. Now come and eat your lunch." + +Tommy and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been silly and rude. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to play something else after lunch. They hoped they could play with the aeroplane again tomorrow, but only if they could share and have fun together. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play outside with their toys. One day, they see a lot of fog in the air. They cannot see very far. + +"Look, Ben, fog!" Sam says. "Let's go and explore!" + +"OK, Sam, but be careful. Don't spoil our toys in the fog," Ben says. + +They take their bikes and their balls and go outside. They ride and kick and have fun. But the fog is very thick. They cannot see each other well. + +"Sam, where are you?" Ben calls. + +"Ben, where are you?" Sam calls. + +They try to find each other, but they get lost. They are scared and sad. + +"Help, help!" they cry. + +Then they hear a loud bark. It is Rex, their dog. Rex is very smart and useful. He can smell and hear them in the fog. He runs to them and licks their faces. + +"Rex, you found us!" Sam and Ben say. "You are a good dog!" + +They hug Rex and follow him. He leads them back to their house. They see their mom and dad waiting for them. They are happy and relieved. + +"Sam, Ben, you are back!" their mom and dad say. "We were worried about you. Why did you go out in the fog?" + +"We wanted to play and explore, but we got lost. Rex saved us. He is a hero!" Sam and Ben say. + +They tell their mom and dad what happened. They say they are sorry for being careless. They promise to be more careful next time. + +Their mom and dad hug them and say they love them. They are glad they are safe. They say Rex is a very useful and brave dog. They give him a big bone and a lot of cuddles. + +Sam and Ben thank Rex and play with him. They are happy to have him as their friend. They decide to stay inside until the fog is gone. They learn a lesson. They know that fog can be dangerous and spoil their fun. They know that Rex can be useful and save their day. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big hill with many bright flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see the sky. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, let's go!" Lily said. + +They held hands and started to climb. The hill was steep and slippery. They had to be careful not to fall. They saw bees, butterflies and birds on the way. They smiled and laughed. + +They reached the top of the hill. They looked at the sky. It was blue and sunny. They saw clouds, planes and a rainbow. They felt happy and proud. + +"Wow, look at the sky, Lily! It's so pretty!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, it's so pretty! We did it!" Lily said. + +They hugged and cheered. They decided to lie down on the grass and watch the sky. They felt the warm sun on their faces. They closed their eyes and dreamed. + +After a while, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She was calling them from the bottom of the hill. + +"Lily, Tom, it's time to go home! Come down, please!" Mom said. + +Lily and Tom opened their eyes. They saw their mom waving at them. They sighed. They did not want to leave the hill and the sky. They wanted to stay and play. + +"Mom, can we stay a little longer? We like it here!" Lily said. + +"Sorry, kids, we have to go. It's getting late and we have to eat dinner. Come on, hurry up!" Mom said. + +Lily and Tom got up and held hands again. They started to climb down the hill. They were careful not to fall. They said goodbye to the flowers, the bees, the butterflies and the birds. They looked at the sky one last time. They saw the rainbow fading away. They felt sad and tired. + +They reached the bottom of the hill. They ran to their mom and hugged her. She smiled and kissed them. + +"Did you have fun, kids?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, we had fun. We climbed the hill and saw the sky. It was bright and pretty. But we are sad to leave." Lily said. + +"I understand, kids. But don't worry, we can come back another day. Now let's go home and have some yummy dinner. You must be hungry." Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They followed their mom to the car. They looked at the park and the hill. They hoped to come back soon. They felt happy and loved. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a ball in his mouth. The dog is running and jumping. Anna and Ben want to play with the dog. + +"Hello, dog!" Anna says. "Can we play with you?" + +The dog barks and wags his tail. He drops the ball and runs to Anna and Ben. They throw the ball and the dog fetches it. They have fun. + +But then, the dog sees a cat. The cat is on a tree. The dog wants to chase the cat. He runs to the tree and barks. The cat hisses and scratches. The dog cries. + +"Bad cat!" Ben says. "Leave the dog alone!" + +Ben picks up a stick and tries to scare the cat. But the cat is not afraid. The cat jumps on Ben and scratches his face. Ben cries. + +"Help!" Ben says. "The cat hurts me!" + +Anna hears Ben. She runs to him. She sees the cat on his face. She grabs the cat and pulls it off. She throws the cat away. The cat runs and hides. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Anna says. "I rescue you from the cat." + +Ben hugs Anna. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are my hero. You are perfect." + +The dog comes to them. He licks their faces. He says, "Woof, woof. Thank you, too. You are my friends. You are perfect." + +Anna and Ben smile. They pet the dog. They say, "You are welcome, dog. You are our friend. You are perfect." + +They play with the dog again. They forget about the cat. They are happy. +Tom liked to visit his uncle Ben. Uncle Ben had a big house with many toys and books. Uncle Ben was kind and funny. He always played with Tom and told him stories. + +One night, Tom slept over at uncle Ben's house. He had his own room with a soft bed and a night light. The night light was a star that glowed in the dark. Tom liked the star. It made him feel safe and happy. + +But Tom could not sleep. He heard a strange noise outside his window. He was scared. He got out of bed and looked out. He saw a big, bright ball in the sky. It glowed more than the star. It moved fast and made a loud sound. + +Tom ran to uncle Ben's room. He knocked on the door and cried. Uncle Ben opened the door and hugged Tom. He asked him what was wrong. Tom told him about the ball in the sky. Uncle Ben smiled and took Tom to the window. + +He pointed at the ball and said, "That is not a ball, Tom. That is a plane. A plane is a big machine that can fly. People use planes to travel far away. The plane glows because it has lights. The lights help the pilot see at night. The plane makes a loud sound because it has engines. The engines help the plane go fast." + +Tom looked at the plane and listened to uncle Ben. He felt better. He understood what the plane was. He was not scared anymore. He thanked uncle Ben and gave him a kiss. Uncle Ben took Tom back to his room and tucked him in. He turned on the star and said, "Good night, Tom. I love you. Sleep well." + +Tom smiled and said, "Good night, uncle Ben. I love you too. Thank you for the star and the plane." He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of flying with uncle Ben in a plane that glowed. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big white dog near the fence. The dog looked friendly and wagged its tail. + +"Let's go and pet the dog!" Lily said. She liked animals and wanted to make a new friend. + +Ben was not sure. He was afraid of big dogs. He remembered when a dog bit his cousin and made him cry. "No, Lily, we should not. Mommy said to stay away from strange dogs. They might be mean or sick." + +But Lily did not listen. She urged Ben to come with her. She said the dog was nice and would not hurt them. She ran to the fence and called the dog. The dog came closer and licked her hand. + +"See, Ben, he likes me! He is so soft and warm. Come and pet him too!" Lily said. + +Ben was still scared, but he did not want to make Lily sad. He was grateful that she was his friend and always shared her toys with him. He walked slowly to the fence and reached out his hand. + +But the dog did not like Ben. He growled and barked and showed his teeth. He jumped and bit Ben's arm. Ben screamed and fell to the ground. He was bleeding and hurting. + +Lily was shocked and scared. She did not know what to do. She cried and shouted for help. + +A man came and pulled the dog away. He said he was sorry and that the dog was not his. He said he found the dog on the street and thought he was lost. He said he would call an ambulance and the police. + +Lily and Ben were taken to the hospital. Ben had to get stitches and shots. He was very brave, but he was also very angry. He did not want to talk to Lily. He said she was stupid and mean and that he hated her. + +Lily was very sorry and sad. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She just wanted to pet the dog. She wished she had listened to Ben and stayed away from the dog. She wished she could say sorry and make Ben her friend again. But Ben did not want to hear her. He turned his head and closed his eyes. +Sara was shy. She did not like to talk to other kids or play with them. She liked to draw and paint and decorate her room with her pictures. She had many pictures of flowers, animals, stars and rainbows. + +One night, Sara had a nightmare. She dreamed that a big monster came into her room and tore up all her pictures. He had sharp teeth, red eyes and a loud roar. He said he hated pretty things and wanted to make everything ugly. Sara was very scared and tried to hide under her bed. + +But then, she heard a soft voice. It was her teddy bear, Ben. He said, "Don't be afraid, Sara. I am here to help you. You are brave and smart and kind. You can make the monster go away with your pictures." Sara looked at Ben and felt a little better. She hugged him and said, "How can I do that?" + +Ben said, "You can use your pictures as weapons. You can throw them at the monster and make him see how beautiful they are. Maybe he will change his mind and leave you alone. Or maybe he will get a headache and run away. Just try it, Sara. You can do it." Sara nodded and said, "Okay, Ben. I will try it." + +She got out of her bed and picked up some of her pictures. She threw them at the monster and shouted, "Go away, monster! You are mean and ugly and rude. You can't destroy my pictures. They are mine and I love them. They make me happy and they make my room pretty. Look at them and see how nice they are." The monster was surprised and confused. He saw the pictures of flowers, animals, stars and rainbows. He saw the colors and shapes and patterns. He saw the smiles and hearts and words. He felt something he never felt before. He felt sorry and ashamed and sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I didn't know. I was lonely and angry and bored. I didn't have any pictures or friends or fun. I only had my teeth and eyes and roar. I didn't mean to hurt you or your pictures. Please forgive me." Sara was surprised and curious. She said, "You are sorry? You want to be my friend? You want to have fun?" The monster nodded and said, "Yes, Sara. I do. Can you teach me how to draw and paint and decorate? Can you show me how to make pretty things and be happy?" Sara smiled and said, "Yes, monster. I can. Come with me and I will show you. But first, you have to promise me something." The monster said, "What is it, Sara?" Sara said, "You have to promise me that you will never hurt anyone or anything again. You have to be nice and gentle and polite. You have to say please and thank you and sorry. You have to share and care and help. Can you do that, monster?" The monster said, "Yes, Sara. I can. I promise." Sara said, "Good. Then, let's go. We have a lot to do. We have to make new pictures and fix the old ones. We have to decorate my room and your room. We have to make friends and have fun. We have to be happy and proud and brave. Are you ready, monster?" The monster said, "Yes, Sara. I am. Let's go." Sara and Ben and the monster left the room and went to the kitchen. They found some paper and crayons and scissors and glue. They started to draw and paint and decorate. They had a lot of fun. They became friends. They forgot about the nightmare. They had a good night. The end. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and a shiny necklace. Anna would brush Lily's hair, dress her up, and talk to her. + +One day, Anna found a big mirror in the attic. She thought it would be fun to play with Lily in front of the mirror. She carried Lily and the mirror to her room. She put the mirror on the floor and knelt down with Lily. She smiled at the mirror and said, "Hello, mirror! This is Lily. She is my best friend. Do you want to be our friend too?" + +The mirror did not answer. Anna thought the mirror was shy. She said, "Don't be shy, mirror. We are nice. Look, Lily has a necklace. Do you like it?" She held Lily closer to the mirror. She saw the necklace sparkle in the mirror. + +But then, something bad happened. The mirror broke. Anna heard a loud noise and felt a sharp pain. She saw blood on her hand and on Lily's dress. She saw pieces of glass on the floor. She saw Lily's necklace broken. She saw Lily's face cracked. She screamed. + +Her mom heard her scream and ran to her room. She saw Anna and Lily and the mirror. She was scared and sad. She hugged Anna and said, "Oh, Anna, what have you done? Are you okay? Let me see your hand. It's bleeding. We need to go to the doctor." + +Anna cried and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break the mirror. I just wanted to play with Lily and the mirror. But the mirror broke and hurt me and Lily. Lily is dead, mom. Look at her face. She is dead." + +Her mom said, "No, Anna, Lily is not dead. She is a doll. Dolls don't die. They can be fixed. We can get her a new face and a new necklace. She will be okay. But you are not a doll. You are my daughter. You are alive. And I love you." +Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make different dishes with the food they found. Sara saw a bunch of celery on the counter and had an idea. + +"Tom, do you dare to eat this celery?" she asked, holding up a green stalk. + +Tom looked at the celery and made a face. He did not like celery. It was bitter and crunchy and made his mouth dry. He shook his head. + +"No, I don't dare. Celery is yucky. I only like carrots and apples and cheese," he said. + +Sara smiled. She liked to tease Tom and make him do things he did not want to do. She thought it was fun. + +"Come on, Tom. Don't be a baby. It's just celery. It's good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. If you eat it, I will give you a cookie," she said. + +Tom looked at the cookie jar on the shelf. He loved cookies. They were sweet and soft and made him happy. He thought for a moment. Maybe he could eat the celery and get a cookie. Maybe it was not so bad. + +"Okay, Sara. I will eat the celery. But only one bite. And you have to give me a cookie," he said. + +Sara nodded. She gave Tom the celery and watched him take a small bite. Tom chewed the celery and made a grumpy face. He did not like it at all. He spit it out in the trash can and ran to the sink to drink some water. + +"Yuck, yuck, yuck! Celery is the worst. I hate it. I never want to eat it again," he said. + +Sara laughed. She thought Tom was funny. She took a cookie from the jar and gave it to Tom. + +"Here, Tom. Here is your cookie. You are a brave boy. You ate the celery. I am proud of you," she said. + +Tom took the cookie and smiled. He was glad he ate the celery. He got a cookie and made Sara happy. He ate the cookie and felt better. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are a nice sister. You gave me a cookie. I am sorry I was grumpy. Can we play some more?" he said. + +Sara hugged Tom and nodded. + +"Of course, Tom. We can play some more. We are chefs. We can make anything we want. But no more celery. Okay?" she said. + +Tom agreed. He did not want to eat celery ever again. He and Sara played in the kitchen and had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Sam and Mia were hungry. They smelled something good in the kitchen. It was a big turkey that Mom was cooking for dinner. They wanted to taste it. + +"Let's take a bite of the turkey," Sam said to Mia. "Mom won't see us." + +Mia nodded. They tiptoed to the kitchen. They saw the turkey on the counter. It looked brown and juicy. Sam reached for it. + +"Ouch!" he cried. He pulled his hand back. The turkey was very hot. It burned his fingers. + +Mom heard Sam and came to the kitchen. She saw what he and Mia were trying to do. She was not happy. + +"Sam, Mia, what are you doing?" she asked. "You can't take the turkey. It's not ready yet. It's too hot for you. You have to wait until it's cool." + +She took the turkey and put it in the oven. She gave Sam and Mia some ice for their fingers. She told them to go and play until dinner was ready. + +Sam and Mia felt sorry. They said sorry to Mom. They learned their lesson. They never tried to take the turkey again. They waited until it was cool and Mom gave them some. It was delicious. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big bush with red berries. Tom was hungry and wanted to try them. + +"Look, Lily, yummy berries!" he said. He picked one and put it in his mouth. + +Lily was nosy and wanted to know what they tasted like. She picked one too and chewed it. But the berry was not yummy. It was sour and bitter and made her face twist. + +"Yuck, Tom, this is bad!" she said. She spat out the berry and wiped her tongue. + +Tom also spat out his berry. He did not like it either. He saw a sign next to the bush. It said: "Do not eat. These berries are not for people. They are for birds." + +Tom and Lily felt silly. They should have read the sign first. They learned a lesson. They decided to play somewhere else and not to eat things they did not know. They ran to the swings and had fun. They forgot about the bad berries. They were happy. +Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and swing and slide. They have fun with their friends and their toys. They are happy. + +One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is green and spiky and has flowers on top. It is a cactus. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to touch it and smell it and see if it is soft or hard. + +They go near the cactus and reach out their hands. But the cactus is not nice. It is mean and sharp and hurts them. It makes them bleed and cry. It is a bad cactus. + +Lily and Ben run away from the cactus and look for their mom and dad. They are sad and scared and in pain. They want a hug and a kiss and a band-aid. They do not like the cactus. They do not want to play in the park anymore. They want to go home. + +The end. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with boats. They had a big toy boat that they could sail in the pond. They took turns to steer the boat and make it go fast or slow. + +One day, they found a shiny coin in the grass. It was money! They both wanted to keep it. Ben said, "It is mine! I saw it first!" Sam said, "No, it is mine! I picked it up!" They started to fight and pull the coin. + +They were so busy fighting that they did not see the boat drift away. The wind blew it to the other side of the pond, where a big dog was waiting. The dog saw the boat and thought it was a toy. He jumped into the water and grabbed the boat with his teeth. He shook it and tore it apart. + +Ben and Sam heard the dog bark and looked up. They saw their boat in pieces. They cried and ran to the pond. But it was too late. The boat was gone. The dog ran away with the coin in his mouth. + +Ben and Sam learned a lesson. They were selfish and lost their boat and their money. They wished they had shared the coin and played nicely with the boat. But they could not undo what they had done. They had a bad ending. +Ella and Ben were twins who liked to play in the wood near their home. They knew they had to be careful, because their mom and dad told them there were some animals that could hurt them. They always listened to their mom and dad, because they loved them and wanted to be safe. + +One day, they saw an elderly man walking in the wood. He had a long beard and a big hat. He smiled at them and said hello. Ella and Ben were curious and said hello back. The man asked them if they wanted to see something special. He said he had a magic stick that could make things happen. Ella and Ben liked magic, so they nodded and followed him. + +The man led them to a clearing, where he had a pile of wood. He picked up a stick and waved it over the wood. He said some words that Ella and Ben did not understand. Suddenly, the wood turned into a big house. Ella and Ben gasped and clapped. The man said he could make anything they wanted with his stick. He asked them what they wished for. + +Ella said she wanted a doll. The man waved his stick and a doll appeared in her arms. She hugged it and thanked him. Ben said he wanted a car. The man waved his stick and a car appeared in front of him. He jumped in and pretended to drive. He thanked him too. + +The man smiled and said he was glad they liked his gifts. He said he had one more thing to show them. He said he had a secret room in his house, where he kept more magic things. He said they could go inside and see them, if they wanted. He said they would have a lot of fun. + +Ella and Ben looked at each other. They wanted to see the secret room, but they also remembered what their mom and dad told them. They told them never to go inside a stranger's house, because it could be dangerous. They told them to always stay together and to run away if they felt scared. Ella and Ben felt scared. They did not trust the man anymore. They said no, thank you, and ran away as fast as they could. + +The man was angry and shouted at them. He said they were rude and ungrateful. He said he would take back his gifts and make them pay. He waved his stick and tried to make the doll and the car disappear. But nothing happened. His stick was broken. He had used up all his magic. He realized he had made a mistake. He had given away his only power. He had no more tricks. He had no more friends. He was alone and sad. He cried and wished he had been nicer to Ella and Ben. +Tim and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They like to make them zoom on the carpet and pretend they are racing. Tim has a red car and Mia has a blue car. They take turns to say who is faster. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom! My car is powerful! It can go very fast!" Tim says. + +"No, no, no! My car is more powerful! It can go faster and jump over things!" Mia says. + +They zoom their cars near the sofa and see a big pillow. They decide to use it as a ramp and make their cars fly in the air. + +"Watch this! My car can fly very high!" Tim says. He zooms his car on the pillow and makes it fly over the sofa. He is very happy. + +"Wow! That was cool! But I can do better!" Mia says. She zooms her car on the pillow and makes it fly over the sofa too. But she zooms too hard and her car flies out of the window. + +"Oh no! My car!" Mia cries. She runs to the window and sees her car on the grass outside. She is very sad. + +"Don't cry, Mia! I can help you!" Tim says. He runs to his room and puts on his superhero pants. They are green and have a big star on them. He thinks they make him powerful. He runs back to the living room and says to Mia: + +"Look, Mia! I have superhero pants! I can save your car! Follow me!" + +He runs outside and zooms to the grass. He picks up Mia's car and gives it to her. She smiles and hugs him. + +"Thank you, Tim! You are a superhero! You are very powerful and kind!" Mia says. + +"You're welcome, Mia! You are my friend! And your car is very powerful too!" Tim says. + +They hug and laugh. They go back to the living room and play with their cars again. They zoom them on the carpet and the pillow and have fun. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were playing with their new water guns in the backyard. They had a lot of fun spraying each other and running around. But then Ben noticed that his water gun had a leak. Water was dripping from a small hole near the trigger. + +"Hey, Mia, look! My water gun is broken!" Ben said, showing her the leak. + +"That's too bad, Ben. Do you want to use mine?" Mia asked, holding out her water gun. + +"No, I don't want yours. I want mine!" Ben said, refusing to take Mia's water gun. He was very impatient and wanted to fix his water gun right away. + +"OK, then. I'll go play by myself." Mia said, shrugging. She ran to the other side of the backyard and started spraying the flowers and the grass. + +Ben tried to cover the leak with his finger, but it didn't work. He tried to tape the hole, but it didn't stick. He tried to glue the hole, but it didn't dry. He was getting very frustrated and angry. He threw his water gun on the ground and stomped on it. + +"Stupid water gun! I hate you!" Ben yelled. + +But then he heard a loud hiss and a splash. He looked down and saw that his water gun had exploded. Water was everywhere, and so was glue and tape and plastic. Ben was soaked and sticky and dirty. He started to cry. + +"Mia, Mia, help me!" Ben called, hoping that Mia would come and comfort him. + +But Mia didn't come. She was too busy playing with her water gun, which worked perfectly. She didn't hear Ben's cries, and she didn't care. She was happy and didn't want to share. + +The end. +Anna was a wealthy girl who had many toys and clothes. She liked to play with her dolls and dress them up. But she did not like to share with her friends. She was selfish and mean. + +One day, her friend Lily came over to play. Lily saw a beautiful doll with long hair and a pink dress. She asked Anna if she could play with it. + +"No, you can't!" Anna shouted. "This is my doll and only I can play with it. Go away!" + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She did not understand why Anna was so rude. She wanted to be friends with Anna, but Anna did not care about her feelings. + +Anna's mother heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna holding the doll and Lily crying. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you being so unkind to Lily?" + +"Because this is my doll and I don't want to share!" Anna said. + +"Anna, that is not how you treat your friends. Sharing is good and makes others happy. Being selfish is bad and makes others sad. You have a heart, don't you? How would you feel if Lily did the same to you?" + +Anna did not answer. She looked down and felt ashamed. + +"Anna, you need to learn a lesson. You are going to punish yourself for being selfish. You are going to give your doll to Lily and say sorry. And you are not going to play with any of your toys for the rest of the day. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded. She did not like the idea of giving her doll to Lily and not playing with her toys. But she knew she had done wrong and had to make up for it. + +She walked over to Lily and handed her the doll. She looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. You can play with my doll. Do you want to be friends?" + +Lily smiled and hugged Anna. She said, "Thank you, Anna. I forgive you. You are very nice. Yes, I want to be friends." + +Anna felt a warm feeling in her heart. She realized that sharing was better than being selfish. She learned a valuable lesson that day. She and Lily became good friends and played happily together. +Anna likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She wears a pink dress and a flower crown. She spins and jumps and twirls. + +One day, she sees a big poster. It has a picture of a dancer. The dancer wears a shiny dress and a tiara. She has a big smile. The poster says: "Come and see the ballet show!" + +Anna wants to see the ballet show. She asks her mom: "Mom, can we go to the ballet show? Please, please, please!" + +Her mom nods. She says: "Yes, we can go to the ballet show. But you have to be quiet and sit still. The ballet show is not like your dancing. It is very serious and graceful." + +Anna nods. She says: "OK, mom. I will be quiet and sit still. I want to see the serious and graceful dancer." + +They go to the ballet show. They sit in a big hall with many people. The lights go down. The music starts. The dancer comes on the stage. She is very beautiful. She moves like a swan. She lifts her legs and arms. She leaps and spins. She makes no sound. + +Anna watches the dancer. She is amazed. She thinks: "Wow, she is so good. She is not like me. She is not silly. She is very serious and graceful." + +But then, something funny happens. The dancer slips on the floor. She falls down. She makes a loud noise. She looks very surprised. The people in the hall gasp. Some of them laugh. + +Anna laughs too. She thinks: "Oops, she is silly. She is like me. She makes mistakes. She is not so serious and graceful." + +She claps her hands. She says: "Bravo, bravo, dancer! You are very good. And you are very funny. I like you." + +Her mom smiles. She says: "Yes, she is very good. And she is very funny. You are right, Anna. You like her." + +The dancer gets up. She smiles too. She bows to the people. She says: "Thank you, thank you, everyone. And thank you, little girl. You are very kind. And you are very smart. You know that dancing is not only serious and graceful. It is also silly and fun." + +She winks at Anna. She says: "Maybe you can be a dancer too. You have a pink dress and a flower crown. You have a big smile. And you have a big heart." + +Anna nods. She says: "Yes, maybe I can be a dancer too. I have a pink dress and a flower crown. I have a big smile. And I have a big heart." + +She hugs her mom. She says: "Thank you, mom, for taking me to the ballet show. It was the best show ever. I love you." + +Her mom hugs her back. She says: "You're welcome, Anna, for taking you to the ballet show. It was the best show ever. I love you too." +Anna and Ben were playing outside in the sun. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big bush with red flowers. They wanted to smell the flowers and touch them. + +"Let's go to the bush, Ben!" Anna said. + +"OK, Anna!" Ben said. + +They ran to the bush and bent down to smell the flowers. They smelled sweet and nice. They smiled and reached out to touch the flowers. + +But the bush was not nice. It had sharp thorns that hurt their fingers. They cried out and pulled back their hands. They saw blood on their fingers and felt pain. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna said. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said. + +They were sad and scared. They wanted to go home and get a hug and a band-aid. They looked for their mom and dad, but they did not see them. They were alone in the park. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked up and saw dark clouds. They felt drops of water on their faces. It was rain. + +The rain was cold and wet. It made them shiver and sneeze. It made their clothes and hair and shoes wet. It made their wounds sting and burn. It made them more sad and scared. + +They wanted the rain to stop. They wanted the sun to come back. They wanted their mom and dad to come and get them. They wanted the bush to go away. + +But the rain did not stop. The sun did not come back. Their mom and dad did not come and get them. The bush did not go away. + +They were stuck in the park with the rain and the bush and the pain. They were not grateful. They were unhappy. They wished they never went to the bush. They wished they never played outside. They wished they stayed home. They wished they listened to their mom and dad. + +The end. +Sara loves to drive with her dad. They have a big car that goes fast and makes loud noises. Sara sits in the back and looks out the window. She likes to see the trees, the houses, the animals and the people. + +One day, they drive to the park. Sara is happy because she can play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. She runs and jumps and laughs with her friends. Her dad watches her and smiles. He is proud of his little girl. + +But then, the sky gets dark and the wind blows hard. Sara hears a loud boom and sees a bright flash. It is lightning! She is scared and runs to her dad. He hugs her and tells her it is okay. He says lightning is just a big spark in the sky. He says it can be beautiful, too, if you are not afraid. + +He takes her to the car and they drive home. Sara sits in the back and looks out the window again. She sees the lightning again, but this time she is not scared. She sees the colors and shapes and patterns. She thinks it is beautiful, too. She tells her dad and he agrees. He says he loves her and she says she loves him, too. They drive home and have a cozy night. Sara is happy. +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 rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look at our snowman!" Lily said. "He is so big and nice!" + +"Yes, he is!" Tom said. "But he needs something more. He needs hair!" + +Tom ran to the house and came back with a comb. He tried to make hair for the snowman with the comb. But the snow was too icy and hard. The comb did not work. + +"Let me try!" Lily said. She took the comb from Tom and pushed it harder on the snowman's head. But the comb broke in half. Lily was sad. + +"Sorry, Tom," she said. "I broke your comb." + +Tom was angry. He stared at Lily with a mean face. He grabbed the carrot nose from the snowman and threw it at Lily. It hit her in the eye. Lily cried. + +"Ow, Tom, that hurts!" she said. "Why did you do that?" + +Tom did not say sorry. He ran away with the hat and the scarf. He left Lily and the snowman alone. Lily was cold and hurt. She wished she had a better friend. The snowman stared at her with his rock eyes. He did not help her. He did not care. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. Mom says they can go out if they wear raincoats and boots. She also gives them a big umbrella to share. + +Tom and Mia go out and jump in the puddles. They laugh and splash. They hold the umbrella together. But the wind is strong. It blows the umbrella away. Tom and Mia run after it. + +"Come back, umbrella!" Tom shouts. + +"Wait for us, umbrella!" Mia cries. + +They chase the umbrella across the street. They do not see the car. The car honks. Tom and Mia stop. They are scared. The car stops too. The driver is angry. + +"Hey, you kids! Watch where you're going! You could have been hurt!" the driver yells. + +"Sorry, mister. We were looking for our umbrella," Tom says. + +"Well, you should look for traffic too. And where are your parents?" the driver asks. + +"They are at home. We live over there," Mia points. + +The driver shakes his head. He sees the umbrella on the sidewalk. He gets out of the car and picks it up. He gives it to Tom and Mia. + +"Here, take your umbrella. And be more careful next time. And go back home. It's not safe to play in the rain," he says. + +"Thank you, mister. We will. We're sorry," Tom and Mia say. + +They take the umbrella and run back home. They are wet and cold. They are also sad. They did not have fun. They did something bad. They hope Mom is not mad. +One day, a boy named Leo went to the museum with his mom. He liked to see the big animals and the shiny rocks. But his favorite thing was the ancient spears. They were long and sharp and made of wood and stone. He wanted to touch them and pretend he was a hunter. + +"Mom, can I hold a spear?" he asked. + +"No, Leo, you can't. They are very old and fragile. You might break them or hurt yourself. They are only for looking, not for playing." his mom said. + +But Leo did not listen. He saw a spear that was not behind glass. He felt a strong urge to grab it and run. He thought it would be fun to swing it around and make noises. He waited until his mom was looking at something else. Then he sneaked to the spear and took it in his hands. + +"Leo, what are you doing?" his mom shouted. She saw him with the spear and ran after him. "Put that down right now! You are in big trouble!" + +Leo was scared. He did not want to get in trouble. He tried to run away from his mom, but he tripped and fell. The spear flew out of his hands and hit a glass case. It made a loud crash and broke the glass. Inside the case, there was a very old vase that also broke into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Leo cried. He saw the broken vase and the broken glass. He felt very bad. He knew he had done something very wrong. + +"Leo, how could you?" his mom said. She was very angry and sad. She picked him up and hugged him. She was glad he was not hurt, but she was also very sorry for the museum. She had to pay a lot of money for the damage. She also had to explain to the museum people what happened. + +Leo learned a hard lesson that day. He learned that ancient things are not toys. He learned that he should listen to his mom and follow the rules. He learned that he should not act on his urges without thinking. He said he was sorry to his mom and to the museum. He promised he would never do it again. He hoped they would forgive him. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big dog with gray fur. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. He might bite," Tom said. + +They walked to the dog and said hello. The dog licked their hands and let them touch his ears. He was very soft and warm. + +"What is your name, dog?" Tom asked. + +The dog barked again. He sounded happy. + +"His name is Max. He is my dog," a voice said. + +Tom and Lily turned around and saw a boy with a leash. He was wearing a hat and a coat. + +"Hi, I am Ben. Do you like Max?" the boy said. + +"Yes, he is very nice. We are Tom and Lily. We are playing in the park," Lily said. + +"Can we play with you and Max?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but we have to be gentle. Max is old and weak. He can't run fast or jump high. He likes to cuddle and nap," Ben said. + +Tom and Lily realized that Max was not a young and strong dog. He was an old and weak dog. But they still liked him. They decided to play with Ben and Max. They gave Max some water and a treat. They hugged him and told him stories. Max wagged his tail and closed his eyes. He was happy to have new friends. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also liked to look for bugs and flowers in the grass. + +But today, there was a big boy in the park who was very rude. He pushed Ben off the swing and took his turn. He slid down the slide and kicked Lily's feet. He jumped on the seesaw and made it go up and down very fast. He did not share or say sorry. + +Ben and Lily were very sad and angry. They told their mom what the big boy did. Their mom said, "That is not nice. He should not do that. Let's go and talk to him." + +They walked to the big boy, who was now throwing rocks at the birds. Their mom said, "Hello, what is your name?" The big boy did not answer. He threw a rock at their mom. It hit her on the leg and hurt her. + +Their mom said, "Ouch! That is very rude and mean. You should not throw rocks at people or animals. That can hurt them. You need to stop and say sorry." + +The big boy did not stop or say sorry. He threw another rock at their mom. It missed her, but it hit a bee. The bee was very angry. It flew to the big boy and stung him on the nose. + +The big boy screamed and cried. He dropped the rocks and ran away. He rushed to his mom, who was sitting on a bench. He said, "Mommy, mommy, a bee stung me! It hurts!" + +His mom said, "Oh, poor baby. Let me see. How did that happen?" The big boy did not tell the truth. He said, "I don't know. The bee just came and stung me." + +Ben and Lily and their mom watched the big boy and his mom. They felt sorry for the big boy, but they also thought he learned a lesson. They hoped he would be nicer next time. They went back to play and have fun. They said, "Thank you, bee, for helping us." The bee buzzed and flew away. +Sam liked to collect things. He had a big box of things he found in the park, like rocks, sticks, leaves and feathers. He liked to look at them and show them to his mom and dad. One day, he went to the park with his dad and saw something new. It was a shiny metal thing on the ground, near the rail where the train went by. + +"Dad, what is that?" Sam asked, pointing at the metal thing. + +"That is a coin, Sam. It is money. People use it to buy things," his dad said. + +"Can I have it?" Sam asked. + +"Sure, you can have it. But be careful, don't go near the rail. The train is very fast and loud and can hurt you," his dad warned. + +Sam nodded and ran to pick up the coin. He was very happy. He put it in his pocket and smiled. He wanted to find more coins. He looked around and saw another one, a little farther away, also near the rail. He ran to get it, but did not see the train coming. + +"Sam, stop! Come back!" his dad shouted. + +But Sam did not hear him. He reached for the coin and touched the rail. He felt a big shock and fell down. He was very scared and hurt. He cried out loud. + +The train passed by and made a loud noise. His dad ran to him and picked him up. He hugged him and checked him. He was glad that Sam was not badly hurt, but he was very angry and sad. + +"Sam, why did you do that? I told you not to go near the rail. You could have died. You were very foolish and naughty," his dad scolded. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to collect more coins. I did not see the train. I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Sam sobbed. + +His dad sighed and kissed him. He took him to the car and drove him home. He threw away the coins and gave him a band-aid and some ice cream. He told him to rest and be more careful next time. + +Sam was very tired and sorry. He learned his lesson. He did not want to collect coins anymore. He only wanted to collect things that were safe and fun. He hugged his dad and said he loved him. His dad hugged him back and said he loved him too. They were happy again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They have a baby brother, Max. Max is very small and cute. He likes to sleep and drink milk. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with their toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun. But then, Max wakes up. He starts to cry. He wants to play too. + +Mom comes in. She picks up Max and hugs him. She says, "Lily and Ben, can you share your toys with Max? He is your baby brother. He wants to join you." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They don't want to share. They like their toys. They are stubborn. They shake their heads. They say, "No, Mom. These are our toys. Max can't have them." + +Mom sighs. She says, "Lily and Ben, sharing is nice. Sharing makes others happy. Sharing shows love. Don't you love Max?" + +Lily and Ben think. They love Max. He is their baby brother. They don't want to make him sad. They want to make him happy. They want to show him love. + +They nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We love Max. We will share our toys with him." + +They go to Max. They give him their toys. They smile. They say, "Here, Max. You can play with our doll and our car. We will share with you. We love you." + +Max stops crying. He grabs the toys. He giggles. He says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are nice. You are my big sister and brother. I love you too." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Good job, Lily and Ben. You are good sharers. You are good siblings. I am proud of you." + +They all hug. They play together. They are happy. +Sara and Ben were playing at the beach. They liked to build sand castles and splash in the water. They had a big towel to dry themselves and lay on. + +"Look, Sara, a big wave!" Ben said, pointing to the sea. He ran to the water and jumped in. Sara followed him, but she was a little frightened. She did not like the waves. They were loud and strong. + +Suddenly, a wave knocked Ben over and pulled him away from Sara. He cried for help. Sara was very frightened. She tried to swim to him, but the wave was too big. She screamed for her mom and dad. + +Mom and dad heard Sara and Ben. They ran to the water and grabbed them. They hugged them and carried them to the towel. They wrapped them in the towel and lay them down. They checked if they were hurt. + +"Are you okay, Sara and Ben?" mom asked, worried. + +"Yes, mom, we are okay," Sara said, sniffling. "But we don't like the waves. They are scary." + +"I know, sweetie, they are scary," mom said, kissing her head. "But you are brave. And we are here to protect you." + +"Thank you, mom and dad," Ben said, hugging them. "We love you." + +"We love you too, Sara and Ben," dad said, smiling. "Now, let's have some ice cream. That will make you feel better." +Sara and Ben like to swim in the pool. They move their arms and legs fast and make big splashes. They play with a ball and a duck. They are happy and laugh a lot. + +But then, Mom comes and says, "Time to get out, kids. We have to go soon." Sara and Ben do not want to go. They want to swim more. They say, "No, Mom, please. Just a little more." + +Mom says, "Sorry, kids, but we have to go. And you have to be tidy. Look at your toys. They are all over the pool. You have to put them away in the basket." + +Sara and Ben sigh. They do not like to be tidy. They like to swim and play. But they know Mom is right. They get out of the pool and dry themselves with towels. They move their toys to the basket. They say, "Bye, pool. Bye, ball. Bye, duck. We will come back soon." + +Mom smiles and says, "Good job, kids. You are very tidy. Now let's go. We have a surprise for you." Sara and Ben wonder what the surprise is. They follow Mom to the car. They are curious and excited. They hope the surprise is something fun. +Anna and Ben were playing with chalk on the sidewalk. They liked to draw big pictures of flowers, cars, and animals. They had many colors of chalk, but Anna's favorite was pink and Ben's favorite was blue. + +One day, they ran out of pink and blue chalk. Anna and Ben looked at each other and felt sad. They wanted to finish their picture of a big rainbow. They looked around and saw an empty box of chalk on the ground. Maybe there was some chalk left inside. + +They ran to the box and opened it. But there was no chalk inside, only a note. The note said: "Sorry, kids. I took your chalk. I needed it for my art project. I hope you don't mind. Love, Sam." + +Anna and Ben were very angry. They did mind. Sam was their big brother, and he always took their things without asking. They wanted their chalk back. They decided to go to Sam's room and get it. + +They walked to the house and opened the door. They heard Sam's voice from upstairs. He was talking on the phone with his friend. He sounded happy. Anna and Ben felt more angry. They ran up the stairs and knocked on Sam's door. + +"Sam, open the door! We want our chalk back!" they yelled. + +Sam heard them and sighed. He knew he was in trouble. He opened the door and saw Anna and Ben's angry faces. He also saw their unfinished picture on the sidewalk. He felt sorry. + +"Hey, guys. I'm sorry I took your chalk. I didn't know you were using it. Here, you can have it back." He gave them the chalk and smiled. + +Anna and Ben looked at the chalk and smiled too. They were happy to have their chalk back. They thanked Sam and ran back to the sidewalk. They finished their picture of the big rainbow. They used all the colors of the chalk, even pink and blue. They were proud of their picture. They showed it to Sam and he liked it too. He said he was sorry again and gave them a hug. Anna and Ben forgave him and hugged him back. They were happy to be friends again. +Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and pictures. They liked to decorate their room with their things. They put stickers on the wall, and hung drawings on the door, and made a fort with blankets and pillows. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. It was thunder. They looked out the window and saw dark clouds and rain. They felt scared and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is thunder and it is dark!" they cried. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. Thunder is just the sound of the clouds talking to each other. And dark is just the color of the sky when it is sleepy. It will be bright and sunny again soon." + +She took them to the kitchen and gave them some cookies and milk. She said, "Why don't we decorate some cookies with sprinkles and frosting? That will be fun and yummy." + +Anna and Ben smiled and nodded. They forgot about the thunder and the dark. They decorated their cookies with different colors and shapes. They ate some and shared some with mom. They felt happy and safe. They thanked mom for the cookies and the hug. They said, "We love you, mom. You are the best." +Lily was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. One day, she wanted to make a cake for her mom's birthday. She found a recipe book and some ingredients in the kitchen. She did not ask her dad or her brother for help, because she thought she knew everything. + +She mixed the flour, the eggs, the sugar, and the butter in a big bowl. She poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. She did not check the time or the temperature, because she thought she was smart. She went to play with her toys and waited for the cake to be ready. + +After a while, she smelled something burning. She ran to the kitchen and saw smoke coming out of the oven. She opened the door and saw a black and hard cake. She was scared and sad. She did not know what to do. She heard her dad and her brother coming home. She did not want them to see her mistake. She grabbed a towel and covered the cake with it. She hoped they would not notice. + +"Hi, Lily, what are you doing?" her dad asked as he entered the kitchen. + +"Nothing, dad, just playing," Lily said, trying to act normal. + +"What's that smell?" her brother asked, sniffing the air. + +"Nothing, brother, just the oven," Lily said, lying. + +They looked at her and saw the towel on the counter. They were curious and lifted the towel. They saw the burnt cake and gasped. + +"Lily, what is this?" her dad asked, surprised. + +Lily felt ashamed and started to cry. She told them the truth. She said she wanted to make a cake for mom, but she did not ask for help, and she did not follow the recipe, and she ruined everything. + +Her dad and her brother hugged her and comforted her. They told her they were proud of her for trying, but they also told her she should have asked for help. They said baking a cake was not easy, and they could have helped her if she had told them. They said it was okay to make mistakes, but it was not okay to hide them. They said they loved her no matter what. + +Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that being independent was good, but being honest and asking for help was better. She learned that covering her mistakes did not make them go away, but only made them worse. She learned that silence was not always golden, but sometimes it was better to speak up and admit her faults. She apologized to her dad and her brother, and they forgave her. They decided to make a new cake together, and they had fun. They surprised their mom with the cake, and she was happy. Lily was happy too, and she thanked her dad and her brother for their help. She realized that sometimes, two or three heads were better than one. +Tom and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat something sweet and juicy. They saw a big bowl of fruit on the table. There were apples, bananas, oranges and grapes. + +"Can we have some fruit, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, my loves. You can have one each. But wash your hands first," Mom said. + +Tom and Mia ran to the sink and washed their hands. Then they came back to the table and picked their fruit. Tom chose an apple and Mia chose a banana. + +They peeled and bit their fruit. They made happy sounds. + +"Mmm, this apple is so good. It tastes like sunshine," Tom said. + +"Yum, this banana is so soft. It tastes like cream," Mia said. + +They ate their fruit until there was nothing left. They felt full and happy. + +"Thank you, Mom, for the fruit. It was delicious," Tom and Mia said. + +"You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you liked it. Fruit is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy," Mom said. + +She hugged them and kissed them. They hugged and kissed her back. They loved each other very much. +Tommy loves to watch cartoons on TV. He likes the ones with funny animals and cars. He laughs when they do silly things and make noises. Sometimes he pretends to be a cartoon too. + +One day, Tommy's mom says, "Tommy, it's time to go to bed. Turn off the TV and brush your teeth." Tommy does not want to go to bed. He wants to watch more cartoons. He says, "No, mom, please. Just one more cartoon. Please, please, please." + +Mom says, "No, Tommy, you have to sleep. You have school tomorrow. You can watch cartoons again in the morning. Come on, let's go to your room." She takes Tommy by the hand and leads him to his room. + +Tommy is sad and angry. He does not say good night to mom. He does not hug her. He just gets into his bed and pulls the blanket over his head. He covers his eyes and ears. He thinks, "Maybe if I cover myself, mom will think I'm not here. Maybe she will let me watch cartoons again." + +But mom knows what Tommy is doing. She sees the blanket moving. She hears him mumbling. She smiles and says, "Tommy, I know you're under there. I can see you and hear you. You can't hide from me. I love you, Tommy. You're my sweet boy. Now, please, uncover yourself and say good night to me." + +Tommy feels mom's hand on his blanket. He feels her love. He feels sorry for being rude. He uncovers himself and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you too. Good night, mom." He gives her a kiss and a hug. Mom says, "Good night, Tommy. Sweet dreams." She turns off the light and leaves the room. + +Tommy closes his eyes and thinks about cartoons. He imagines he is a cartoon too. He smiles and falls asleep. He dreams of funny animals and cars. He dreams of mom. He is happy. +Lily was excited to go to the zoo with her mom and dad. She wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. She also wanted to take pictures with her new camera. She got the camera for her birthday and she loved it. + +Before they left, Lily had to organize her backpack. She put her camera, her water bottle, her hat, and her snacks inside. She zipped it up and put it on her back. She was ready to go. + +"Are you sure you have everything, Lily?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, I have everything," Lily said. + +"OK, then, let's go to the zoo!" her dad said. + +They got in the car and drove to the zoo. Lily looked out the window and saw many things. She saw cars, trees, houses, and people. She wondered what she would see at the zoo. + +When they arrived, they bought their tickets and entered the zoo. Lily was amazed by all the animals. She saw giraffes, zebras, penguins, and bears. She took out her camera and started to take pictures. She wanted to remember everything. + +She saw a sign that said "Lion Exhibit". She ran towards it, followed by her mom and dad. She wanted to see the lions up close. She hoped they would roar. + +She reached the lion exhibit and saw a big cage with two lions inside. They were lying on the ground, sleeping. Lily was disappointed. She wanted to see them move and play. + +She decided to take a picture anyway. She held her camera in front of her face and pressed the button. But nothing happened. She pressed it again. Still nothing. + +She looked at her camera and saw a red light. She turned it over and saw a message. It said "Battery Low". + +Lily felt sad. Her camera was out of power. She couldn't take any more pictures. + +She showed her camera to her mom and dad. They looked at it and sighed. + +"Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. We forgot to charge your camera before we left," her mom said. + +"It's OK, mom. It's not your fault," Lily said. + +"Maybe we can find a place to charge it at the zoo," her dad said. + +"Or maybe we can buy some new batteries," her mom said. + +They tried to cheer Lily up. They told her they could still see the other animals and have fun. They told her they could take pictures with their phones and share them with her later. + +Lily nodded. She tried to smile. She still wanted to see the zoo. But she wished her camera was working. She wished she could take pictures of the lions. She wished they would roar. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big bush with many red berries. Lily and Tom ran to the bush and picked some berries. They were sweet and juicy. + +But then, Lily saw something on her hand. It was a yellow bug with black spots. It was crawling on her finger. Lily was scared of the bug. She did not like it. She screamed very loud. "Aaaah! A bug! A bug!" + +Tom heard Lily scream. He looked at her hand and saw the bug. He was not scared of the bug. He liked it. He thought it was pretty and funny. He smiled and said, "Lily, don't scream. It's not a bad bug. It's a ladybug. It won't hurt you. It's your friend." + +Lily stopped screaming and looked at Tom. She looked at the bug again. It was not so scary. It was yellow and black. It had six legs and two wings. It was a ladybug. Lily calmed down and said, "Sorry, bug. I didn't know you were a ladybug. You are pretty and funny. You can be my friend." + +The ladybug tickled Lily's finger and flew away. Lily and Tom waved goodbye to the bug. They ate some more berries and played some more in the garden. They were happy and had fun. +Tom likes to watch the big crane at the building site. The crane can lift heavy things and move them in the air. Tom wants to see the crane up close, but his mom says it is too dangerous. + +One day, Tom sees a chance to sneak away from his mom. He runs to the fence and climbs over it. He steps on the dirt and rocks and walks towards the crane. He thinks the crane is very tall and strong. + +But Tom does not see the big hole in the ground. He steps too far and falls into the hole. He cries out loud and feels scared. He cannot climb out of the hole. He wishes he had listened to his mom. + +Soon, his mom hears his cry and runs to the fence. She sees Tom in the hole and calls for help. The crane operator hears her and stops the crane. He lowers the crane hook and lifts Tom out of the hole. He puts Tom on the ground and gives him a hug. + +Tom is happy to be safe, but he is also sorry. He says sorry to his mom and the crane operator. He says he will not run away again. He learns that the crane is not a toy, but a tool. He also learns that the ground can have thick holes that can hurt him. He thanks the crane operator for saving him and goes home with his mom. He still likes to watch the crane, but from a distance. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park is a big place with trees and swings and slides. Lily and Ben have fun in the park. + +One day, Lily and Ben see a new girl in the park. She has long hair and a pretty dress. She is sitting on a bench with a book. Lily and Ben want to meet her. + +"Hello, what is your name?" Lily asks the new girl. + +"My name is Mia," the new girl says. "I am new here. I just moved with my mom and dad." + +"Where did you move from?" Ben asks. + +"I moved from a far place. It is very different from here. It has snow and mountains and lakes," Mia says. + +"Wow, that sounds cool. Do you miss it?" Lily asks. + +"Sometimes I do. But I also like it here. It is warm and sunny and green," Mia says. + +"Would you like to play with us?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, I would. What do you like to play?" Mia asks. + +"We like to play on the swings and the slides and the sandbox. Come on, we will show you," Lily says. + +Lily and Ben take Mia by the hand and run to the playground. They play together and have fun. They share their toys and stories and laughs. They become friends. + +Lily and Ben are happy they met Mia. Mia is happy she met Lily and Ben. The park is a good place to meet new friends. +Anna and Ben love to pretend. They like to play different games with their toys and their imagination. Today, they decide to pretend they are on a safari. They take their stuffed animals and put them in a big box. The box is their jeep. They also wear hats and binoculars. + +"Look, Anna, there is a lion!" Ben says, pointing to his yellow toy. "He is very big and strong. We have to be careful." + +Anna nods and looks through her binoculars. "Yes, he is. But he is also sleepy. He is lying under the tree. Maybe he just ate a zebra." + +They drive their jeep to another spot. They see a giraffe, an elephant, a monkey and a snake. They are all different colors and sizes. They make noises like the animals. + +"Wow, Ben, this is so fun!" Anna says. "I like all the animals. They are so amazing." + +"Me too, Anna. But do you know which one is my favorite?" Ben asks. + +"Which one, Ben?" + +"The snake. He is very flexible. He can bend and twist and curl. He can go under and over and around. He is so cool." + +Anna smiles. "He is cool, Ben. But he is also scary. He can bite and poison. He can squeeze and choke. He is so dangerous." + +They both shiver. They decide to leave the snake alone. They drive their jeep to a safer place. They pretend they are on a safari. They have a lot of fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to find rocks and make pictures with them on the ground. Lily found a big rock that was shiny and smooth. She wanted to show it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, look at my rock!" she said, running to him. "It is so pretty!" + +Tom looked at her rock and smiled. He wanted to touch it and see how it felt. He reached out his hand, but Lily pulled the rock away. + +"No, Tom, no!" she said. "This is my rock! You can't have it!" + +Tom felt sad and angry. He wanted to play with Lily, but she was not nice. He looked around and saw a smaller rock that was sharp and rough. He picked it up and threw it at Lily. + +"Ow, Tom, ow!" Lily cried. "You hurt me! You are mean!" + +The rock hit Lily on her face and made a cut. Blood came out of the cut and stained her dress. Lily started to cry very loud. Tom felt scared and sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily, he just wanted to play. + +A lady who was walking her dog heard Lily's cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily's face and dress and gasped. She saw Tom holding another rock and frowned. + +"What did you do, young man?" she asked Tom. "Why did you throw a rock at her?" + +Tom did not know what to say. He dropped the rock and looked at the ground. He wished he had been more careful. He wished he had shared his pictures with Lily. He wished he had not thrown the rock at her. But it was too late. He had made a big mistake. And now Lily was hurt and the lady was angry. And he had no friends to play with. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they are excited. They want to see the big slide. + +"Come on, Lily!" Tom says. "Hurry, hurry! The slide is fun!" + +Lily runs after Tom. She is happy. She likes the slide too. But she sees something else. She sees a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar. + +"Look, Tom!" Lily says. "A dog! What is its name?" + +Tom stops. He looks at the dog. He likes dogs. He wants to pet it. He walks to the dog. He says, "Hello, dog. You are cute. Can I touch you?" + +The dog wags its tail. It likes Tom. It licks his face. Tom laughs. He says, "You are friendly. Do you want to play?" + +The dog barks. It wants to play. It runs to the slide. It climbs up. It slides down. Tom and Lily are surprised. They clap their hands. They say, "Wow, dog! You are smart. You can slide!" + +The dog barks again. It runs to Tom and Lily. It wants them to slide with it. Tom and Lily smile. They say, "Okay, dog. We will slide with you. You are fun. You are our new friend." +Lily was very sad. She had a new doll that she loved very much. But her doll had a hole in her dress. Lily did not know how to fix it. She asked her mom for help. + +"Mom, can you please mend my doll's dress? It has a hole and I don't like it," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, but I can't do it right now. I have to do my job. I have to write a lot of words on the computer. It is very important and I have to finish it today," Mom said. + +"But Mom, I love my doll. She is my best friend. I don't want her to have a hole in her dress. Can't you do it later?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, I can't. My job is very hard and I need to do it well. If I don't, we won't have enough money to buy food and clothes and toys. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily did not understand. She only understood that her mom did not have time for her and her doll. She felt very angry and sad. She started to weep. She wept very loud and very long. + +Mom heard Lily weeping. She felt very sorry and guilty. She knew that Lily was only a little girl and that she did not mean to be selfish. She also knew that her doll was very special to her. She decided to stop her job for a moment and go to Lily. + +She hugged Lily and wiped her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you very much. I know you love your doll too. I don't want you to be sad. How about we go to the store and buy a new dress for your doll? It won't be very expensive. It will be a treat for you and your doll. Would you like that?" + +Lily stopped weeping. She smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, Mom, I would like that very much. Thank you, Mom. You are the best mom ever." + +Mom smiled and kissed Lily. She said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are the best daughter ever. Now let's go and make your doll happy." + +They took the doll and went to the store. They found a beautiful dress for the doll. It was pink and sparkly and had a bow. Lily was very happy. She put the dress on her doll and hugged her. She said, "You look so pretty, doll. I love you so much." + +Mom was happy too. She said, "You look so happy, Lily. I love you so much." + +They went back home and played with the doll. Mom forgot about her job for a while. She was glad that she made Lily happy. She thought that sometimes, the best things in life are not expensive, but priceless. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to tidy up their toys when they are done. Their mom always tells them to tidy up, but they do not listen. + +One day, mom gives them a big book. It is a dictionary. She says it has many words and pictures. She says they can learn new words from it. Anna and Ben are curious. They open the book and look at it. + +"Wow, look at this word!" Anna says. "It is elephant. It is a big animal with a long nose." + +"I know that word!" Ben says. "Look at this word. It is rainbow. It is a colorful thing in the sky." + +They turn the pages and find more words and pictures. They are having fun. They forget about their toys on the floor. + +Mom comes to their room. She sees the dictionary on the bed and the toys on the floor. She is not happy. + +"Anna and Ben, what are you doing?" she asks. "You did not tidy up your toys. You made a mess." + +"Sorry, mom," Anna and Ben say. "We were looking at the dictionary. It is a nice book. It has many words and pictures." + +Mom smiles. She is glad they like the dictionary. But she is still not happy about the mess. + +"I am happy you like the dictionary," she says. "But you still have to tidy up your toys. You have to be responsible. You have to take care of your things." + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They put the dictionary on the shelf. They pick up their toys and put them in the box. They make their room tidy. + +Mom hugs them. She is proud of them. She says they are good twins. She says they can look at the dictionary again after they tidy up. Anna and Ben smile. They like the dictionary. They also like to make mom happy. They seem to learn a lot from the dictionary. +Lila liked to play with her toy camera. She would snap pictures of her family, her toys, and her dog. She liked to see the colors and shapes on the screen. She felt like a big girl with her camera. + +One day, it was very hot outside. Lila wanted to snap some pictures of the flowers and the birds in the garden. She put on her hat and her sunscreen and went outside with her camera. She saw a big yellow flower and snapped a picture. She saw a red bird and snapped a picture. She saw a green lizard and snapped a picture. + +The lizard was harmless. It did not bite or scratch. It just sat on a rock and looked at Lila. Lila wanted to get closer and snap a better picture. She walked slowly and quietly towards the lizard. She held her camera in front of her face and snapped a picture. + +But the lizard did not like the flash. It made a loud hiss and jumped at Lila. Lila was scared and dropped her camera. The camera fell on the ground and broke. Lila started to cry. She ran back to the house and told her mom what happened. + +Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. She said the lizard was just scared too and did not mean to hurt her. She said she would buy her a new camera when they went to the store. She said she was proud of her for being brave and curious. She said she loved her and her pictures. Lila felt better and smiled. She said she loved her mom and her camera too. She said she would snap more pictures tomorrow. +Anna liked to write with her crayons. She wrote her name, her mom's name, and her dog's name on many papers. She also liked to write on the walls, the table, and the sofa. She thought it was fun and pretty. + +But her mom did not like it. She was angry when she saw the crayons on the walls, the table, and the sofa. She said, "Anna, this is bad. You cannot write on these things. You have to write on papers only. Do you understand?" + +Anna felt guilty. She knew she did something wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Anna. But you have to clean up your mess. Here, take this cloth and help me wipe the crayons off." + +Anna took the cloth and followed her mom. They wiped the crayons off the walls, the table, and the sofa. It was hard work. Anna was tired and bored. + +She saw the sink in the kitchen. She had an idea. She said, "Mom, can I write on the sink?" + +Her mom said, "No, Anna. You cannot write on the sink. The sink is for washing dishes and hands, not for writing. Why do you want to write on the sink?" + +Anna said, "Because it is white and shiny. And I can wash it off with water." + +Her mom said, "That's true, but it is still not a good place to write. You have to respect the things in the house. They are not your toys. If you want to write, you can write on this paper. Here, I'll give you a new crayon. What color do you want?" + +Anna said, "I want pink. Pink is my favorite color." + +Her mom said, "Okay, here you go. Now you can write on this paper. You can write whatever you want. But please, no more writing on the walls, the table, the sofa, or the sink. Okay?" + +Anna said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I will write on the paper. I will write a nice picture for you." + +Her mom said, "That's very sweet of you, Anna. I can't wait to see it.

They like to play soccer in the park. Tim is good at soccer. He can kick the ball far and fast. Mia is not so good at soccer. She can kick the ball, but not far and not fast. + +One day, they play soccer with some other kids. Tim is on one team and Mia is on the other team. Tim's team has the ball. Tim kicks the ball to the goal. Mia tries to stop the ball. She runs and jumps and stretches her leg. But she is too late. The ball goes in the goal. Tim's team scores. They cheer and clap. Mia feels sad. She thinks she is a poor soccer player. + +"Good try, Mia!" Tim says. He runs to Mia and gives her a hug. "You almost stopped the ball. You are a good friend." + +"Thank you, Tim," Mia says. She smiles and hugs him back. "You are a good friend too. And a good soccer player." + +They play some more. Mia tries to kick the ball better. Tim helps her and shows her how. They have fun. They do not care who scores. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big flag on a pole. The flag is red and white and blue. It moves in the wind. + +"Look, Lily, a flag!" Tom says. "I want to touch it." + +Tom runs to the pole. He tries to reach the flag, but it is too high. He leans on the pole and jumps, but he cannot touch it. + +"Tom, be careful!" Lily says. "You might fall." + +Lily runs to Tom. She holds his hand. She helps him to lean on the pole. + +"Maybe we can touch it together," she says. + +They lean on the pole and jump together. They touch the flag with their fingers. They feel happy. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a siren. A fire truck is coming to the park. It is red and shiny. It has a big ladder and a hose. It is very noisy. + +"Wow, a fire truck!" Tom says. "Let's go see it." + +They let go of the pole and the flag. They run to the fire truck. They see the firefighters. They wear helmets and coats. They are brave. + +"Hello, kids," one firefighter says. "Do you like the fire truck?" + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Lily say. "It is very noisy and cool." + +The firefighter smiles. He gives them stickers. They have flags and fire trucks on them. + +"Thank you, firefighter," Tom and Lily say. "You are very nice." + +They stick the stickers on their shirts. They wave to the firefighter and the fire truck. They go back to the pole and the flag. They lean on the pole and jump again. They have fun in the park. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big toy car in the garage. It has wires and batteries. Tom wants to attach the wires to the batteries. He thinks it will make the car go faster. + +"Look, Jen, I can make the car faster!" Tom says. He takes a wire and touches a battery. + +"Ow!" Tom cries. He feels a shock in his hand. He drops the wire and the battery. He is sad and scared. He does not like the shock. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Jen asks. She is worried about Tom. She runs to him and hugs him. + +"I'm okay, Jen. But the shock hurt. It was not fun." Tom says. He hugs Jen back. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Maybe we should not play with the wires and batteries. They are not toys. They are dangerous." Jen says. + +"You are right, Jen. They are not toys. They are for grown-ups. We should play with our own toys. They are safe and fun." Tom says. + +Tom and Jen leave the big toy car in the garage. They go to their room and play with their own toys. They are happy and careful. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things that are not toys. They can be dangerous and hurt you. Play with your own toys. They are safe and fun. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play jokes on each other. One day, Lily had a plan to make Ben laugh. She found a big box and hid inside it. She waited for Ben to come home from school and put the box near his door. + +When Ben saw the box, he was curious. He opened it and Lily jumped out. "Boo!" she shouted. Ben was so surprised that he fell backwards. He looked at Lily and started to giggle. "That was a good joke, Lily!" he said. + +Lily was happy that Ben liked her joke. She helped him get up and they went inside to have a snack. They shared some cookies and milk and talked about their day. Lily told Ben about the funny things she saw at the park. Ben told Lily about the new song he learned at school. + +But then, Lily's brother Max came in. He saw the box and the cookies and he was angry. He wanted to play with the box and eat the cookies. He grabbed the box and threw it away. He took the cookies and ran to his room. "Stop, Max!" Lily and Ben shouted. "You spoiled our fun!" + +Max did not care. He locked his door and ate the cookies. He felt sick and his face turned pale. He wished he had not been so mean to Lily and Ben. He realized that jokes are better than spoils. He decided to say sorry to them and share his toys. He hoped they would forgive him and play with him again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a camera in the park. It is big and shiny. + +"Look, a camera!" Lily says. "Can we use it?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it belongs to someone." + +They look around, but they do not see anyone. They are curious. They pick up the camera and press the buttons. + +"Wow, it makes noises!" Lily says. "And it has a screen. See, it shows us!" + +They see themselves on the screen. They smile and make funny faces. The camera takes pictures of them. + +"Let's go show Mom and Dad!" Tom says. "They will like our pictures." + +They run to their houses with the camera. They are lively and happy. They show their parents the pictures. Their parents are surprised and proud. + +"Where did you find the camera?" Mom asks. + +"In the park," Lily says. "Can we keep it?" + +Mom and Dad look at each other. They do not know who owns the camera. They decide to call the park office and ask. + +"Maybe someone lost it and is looking for it," Dad says. "We should try to find them and give it back." + +Lily and Tom are sad. They like the camera. But they also want to be good and honest. + +"Okay," they say. "But can we use it one more time?" + +Mom and Dad agree. They let Lily and Tom use the camera again. They take more pictures of themselves and their parents. They have fun. They hope the camera will find its owner. And they hope they will make a new friend. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat breakfast. Mom was in the kitchen. She was making sausages. + +Tom and Lily ran to the kitchen. They saw the sausages on the pan. They smelled good. Tom and Lily wanted to eat them. + +But Mom said, "No, not yet. They are too hot. You have to wait." + +Tom and Lily did not want to wait. They were very hungry. They tried to grab the sausages. But Mom stopped them. + +"Ouch! You will burn your fingers. And you will make a mess. Go sit at the table. I will bring them to you." + +Tom and Lily did not listen. They yelled at Mom. They said, "We want sausages now! We want sausages now!" + +Mom was angry. She said, "Stop yelling. You are being rude. And you are making the sausages smelly. If you don't behave, you will get no sausages at all." + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want to make Mom angry. And they did not want to lose their sausages. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We will be good. We will sit at the table. We will wait for the sausages." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's better. Thank you for being polite. I will bring you the sausages soon. They will be yummy and not smelly." + +Tom and Lily smiled too. They ran to the table. They waited for the sausages. They said, "We love you, Mom. And we love sausages." +Lily and Max liked to play in the swamp behind their house. They liked to make mud pies and look for frogs and bugs. But one day, they saw a big truck near the swamp. The truck had a loud noise and a long hose. The hose was sucking up all the water from the swamp. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily shouted at the truck. "You are taking our swamp away!" + +The truck driver did not hear her. He was busy with his hose. He wanted to make the swamp empty and dry. He said the swamp was dirty and smelly and bad for the town. + +Max ran to the truck and tried to pull the hose. He was angry and scared. He did not want to lose his swamp. He loved the swamp and all the animals in it. + +"Let go, kid!" the truck driver said. He pushed Max away. "This is my job. I have to make the swamp empty and dry. It is good for the town." + +Lily and Max did not think so. They thought the swamp was good for the town too. They thought the swamp was beautiful and fun and full of life. They did not want to see it empty and dry. + +They ran back to their house and told their mom what was happening. Their mom was surprised and worried. She did not know about the truck and the hose. She did not know why someone wanted to make the swamp empty and dry. + +She called the town hall and asked some questions. She found out that the truck and the hose belonged to a company that wanted to build a new mall on the swamp land. She did not like that idea. She liked the swamp and all the animals in it too. + +She told Lily and Max to get their coats and boots. She said they were going to the swamp to stop the truck and the hose. She said they were going to make the swamp wet and full again. She said they were going to save the swamp and all the animals in it. + +Lily and Max smiled and cheered. They were happy and proud. They followed their mom to the swamp. They were ready to make a difference. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make a tent with the box and some blankets. They put the box on the grass and covered it with blankets. Then they crawled inside and pretended it was a boat. + +"Let's sail to an island!" Tim said. + +"Okay, but we need a map and a flag," Kim said. + +They drew a map with crayons and cut out a flag from paper. They stuck the flag on a stick and put it on top of the box. Then they grabbed some snacks and toys and got ready to sail. + +They rocked the box back and forth and made boat noises. They looked at the map and followed the lines. They saw birds and clouds and trees. They had fun sailing to the island. + +But then, the wind blew very hard. It made the blankets fly away. It made the flag fall down. It made the box tip over. Tim and Kim fell out of the box and onto the grass. They were scared and sad. Their tent was gone. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. + +Mom heard them and came outside. She saw the mess and hugged them. + +"Don't worry, my loves. It was just a terrible wind. You are safe and sound. Let's go inside and have some cookies," she said. + +Tim and Kim nodded and followed Mom. They were still sad, but they felt better. They knew they could make another tent another day. They knew they could sail to the island again. They knew Mom loved them. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be soldiers. They wear hats and boots and carry sticks. They march around the yard and say, "Left, right, left, right!" + +"Where are we going, Max?" Lily asks. + +"We are going to the restaurant, Lily," Max says. "We are hungry soldiers. We need food." + +They march to the door and knock. Mom opens the door and smiles. + +"Hello, soldiers," Mom says. "Are you here for lunch?" + +"Yes, Mom," Lily and Max say. "We are very hungry." + +Mom leads them to the kitchen. She has made sandwiches and soup. She gives them plates and spoons. + +"Here you go, soldiers," Mom says. "Enjoy your lunch." + +Lily and Max sit at the table and eat. They like the sandwiches and soup. They say, "Thank you, Mom." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, soldiers. You are very good soldiers. And you are very fit, too. You march very well." + +Lily and Max smile. They are happy. They like to play pretend. They like to march. And they like to eat at the restaurant. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big red strawberry on a green plant. Sara wanted to pick it and eat it. + +"Can I have the strawberry?" Sara asked Ben. + +Ben shook his head. "No, it is mine. I saw it first." + +Sara felt sad. She liked strawberries very much. She looked at the strawberry. It was shiny and juicy. She wanted to taste it. + +"Please, Ben, can we share it?" Sara begged. + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked Sara. She was his friend. He did not want to make her sad. But he also liked strawberries. He wanted to eat it all. + +"Okay, we can share it. But be careful. The strawberry is delicate. It can break easily." Ben said. + +Sara smiled. She was happy. She thanked Ben. They carefully picked the strawberry. They broke it in half. They each took a bite. The strawberry was sweet and yummy. They enjoyed it. + +They looked at each other. They were both happy. They hugged. They did not mind sharing. Sharing was good. They decided to look for more strawberries together. They had fun in the garden. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play knights and dragons. Tom has a sword made of wood. Sam has a shield made of cardboard. They run around the yard and pretend to fight. + +"Roar! I am a dragon and I will eat you!" Sam says. + +"No, you won't! I am a knight and I will save the princess!" Tom says. + +They chase each other and laugh. They have fun. + +But soon they get tired. They lie down on the grass and look at the sky. They see clouds and birds. + +"Can we nap here?" Sam asks. + +"Okay, but only for a little bit. We have to be alert. Maybe a real dragon will come!" Tom says. + +They close their eyes and nap. They dream of adventures. + +But they are not alone. A cat is watching them from a tree. She is curious. She jumps down and walks towards them. She sees the sword and the shield. She wants to play too. + +She pokes the sword with her paw. It makes a noise. Tom wakes up. He sees the cat. + +"Hey, that's my sword!" he says. + +He grabs the sword and swings it at the cat. The cat is scared. She runs away. + +"Sam, wake up! There was a cat!" Tom says. + +Sam opens his eyes. He sees Tom holding the sword. + +"Wow, you are brave! You chased away the cat!" Sam says. + +They hug each other. They are happy. + +They decide to play some more. They pick up their sword and shield. They run around the yard and pretend to fight. + +They are knights and dragons. They are brothers. They are friends. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a big white sack near the fence. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom says. + +"OK, but be careful. Maybe there is something sharp or scary inside," Mia says. + +They run to the sack and pull the string. The sack opens and many colorful balls fall out. Tom and Mia are happy. They start to throw the balls at each other and laugh. + +But one ball is not like the others. It is small and hard and has a needle on it. Tom picks it up and feels a pain in his hand. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cries. "This ball hurts me!" + +Mia sees the blood on Tom's hand. She is scared. She drops the balls and runs to Tom. + +"Let me see, let me see. You have a needle in your hand. We have to take it out," Mia says. + +She tries to pull the needle out, but it is stuck. Tom screams louder. + +"Help! Help! We need Mommy!" Mia shouts. + +Mommy hears them and comes to the garden. She sees the white sack, the balls, and the needle. She understands what happened. + +"Oh, no! You found the sack of old ornaments. These are not toys. These are for the Christmas tree. Some of them have needles to hang them. You have to be very careful with them," Mommy says. + +She takes Tom to the house and washes his hand. She takes the needle out and puts a bandage on it. She hugs Tom and kisses him. + +"You are very brave, Tom. I'm sorry you got hurt. The needle is out now. You will be OK," Mommy says. + +Tom feels better. He smiles and hugs Mommy back. + +"Thank you, Mommy. I love you," Tom says. + +Mia comes to the house too. She is sorry for Tom. She brings him a ball that is soft and fluffy. She gives it to him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't know the ball had a needle. I hope you like this ball. It is nice and safe," Mia says. + +Tom likes the ball. He thanks Mia and hugs her. + +"I like this ball, Mia. You are a good sister. I love you," Tom says. + +They play with the ball together. They are happy again. They forget about the white sack and the needle. They only remember the colorful balls and the love. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their dog, Max. Max has soft fur and a long tail. He is a good and helpful dog. He likes to fetch balls and sticks and bones. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a big box in the garage. They think it is a good place to play. They climb inside the box and pretend it is a spaceship. They make noises like zoom and beep and blast. + +Max sees them and thinks they are in trouble. He hears them make loud noises and sees them move the box. He thinks they are stuck and scared. He wants to help them. He runs to the box and pushes it with his nose. He barks and scratches and tries to open the box. + +Anna and Ben hear Max and think he is playing. They laugh and say, "Go away, Max! We are in space! You are not a space dog!" They do not open the box. They keep making noises and moving the box. + +Max does not understand. He thinks they are in danger. He gets more worried and more noisy. He pushes the box harder and harder. He makes a big hole in the box. He jumps inside and licks Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben are surprised and angry. They say, "Max, you ruined our game! You broke our box! You are a bad and silly dog!" They push Max away and get out of the box. + +Max is sad and confused. He thinks he did something wrong. He does not know why they are mad at him. He lowers his ears and tail and walks away. + +Anna and Ben see Max and think they were too mean. They remember that Max is their friend and he loves them. They think he was trying to help them. They feel sorry and sorry. They run to Max and hug him. They say, "We are sorry, Max. You are a good and helpful dog. You are a space dog too. We love you, Max!" + +Max is happy and relieved. He thinks they are not mad at him anymore. He wags his tail and licks them. He thinks they are the best twins in the world. + +The moral of the story is: Be kind to your friends who want to help you. They may not understand your game, but they care about you. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass. They pretended they were racing drivers and made loud noises with their mouths. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm the fastest!" Tom said. + +"No, I'm the fastest!" Lily said. + +They laughed and had fun. But then they heard a scary sound. It was a big roar that made the ground shake. They looked up and saw a huge lion coming out of the bushes. It had sharp teeth and yellow eyes. It looked hungry and angry. + +"Help, help, it's a lion!" Lily screamed. + +"Run, run, to our home!" Tom shouted. + +They dropped their toy cars and ran as fast as they could. The lion chased them, roaring louder and louder. Lily and Tom felt helpless. They wished their mom and dad were here. + +But then they saw something. It was a big fence with a sign that said "Zoo". They ran to the gate and banged on it. A man in a uniform came out. He had a whistle and a stick. + +"What are you doing here, kids?" he asked. + +"There's a lion, there's a lion!" Lily and Tom cried. + +The man looked behind them and saw the lion. He blew his whistle and waved his stick. The lion stopped and turned around. It ran back to the bushes. + +"Don't worry, kids, it's not a real lion. It's a robot lion. We use it to scare away the birds that eat the flowers. It's part of our new show. But you shouldn't be here. This is a restricted area. How did you get in?" + +Lily and Tom pointed to a hole in the fence. They had crawled through it when they saw the pretty flowers. + +"I'm sorry, mister, we didn't know. We just wanted to play," Lily said. + +"We're sorry, too. We won't do it again," Tom said. + +The man sighed and shook his head. He took them by the hand and led them to the exit. He gave them back their toy cars and told them to go home. + +"Be careful, kids, and stay away from the lion. It's not real, but it can still hurt you," he said. + +"Thank you, mister, you saved us," Lily and Tom said. + +They ran to their home and hugged their mom and dad. They told them what happened and how scared they were. Their mom and dad hugged them back and said they were glad they were safe. + +They learned their lesson and never went near the lion again. They still played with their toy cars, but only in the park. And they never made loud noises with their mouths again. They didn't want to wake up the lion. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big pole with wires on top. Tom wanted to climb the pole. He said, "Look, Lily, I can be powerful like a superhero. I can touch the wires and make sparks." + +Lily was scared. She said, "No, Tom, don't do that. The pole is dangerous. The wires have electricity. Electricity can hurt you. It can make you fall and cry." + +Tom did not listen. He ran to the pole and started to climb. He reached for the wires. He felt a shock. He screamed and let go. He fell to the ground. He was hurt and crying. + +Lily ran to Tom. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay? You should not climb the pole. It is not a toy. It is for the lights and the phones. You should be careful and listen to me." + +Tom was sorry too. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. The pole is not powerful. It is scary. I will not climb it again. I will listen to you. You are my friend." +Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have a lot of fun. Sometimes they play pretend games. Today they pretend to be animals. + +"I am a lion," says Ben. He roars and crawls on the grass. "Hear me roar!" + +"I am a bird," says Lily. She flaps her arms and hops on the bench. "Hear me tweet!" + +They make funny noises and faces. They make each other laugh. + +But then they see a man on a bike. He wears a black robe and a white wig. He looks like a judge. He stops near them and looks at them. + +"What are you doing, children?" he asks. He sounds angry. + +"We are playing," says Lily. + +"We are animals," says Ben. + +The judge shakes his head. He does not like their game. He thinks they are silly and loud. + +"You are not animals," he says. "You are children. You should act like children. You should be quiet and polite and respectful. You should not run and jump and make noise. You should sit and read and learn." + +Lily and Ben do not like the judge. They think he is mean and boring. They do not want to sit and read and learn. They want to run and jump and make noise. They want to play. + +They look at each other. They have an idea. They smile. + +They run away from the judge. They run to the other side of the park. They run to the pond. They see some ducks. They pretend to be ducks. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" they say. They splash and swim and nibble on bread. They have fun. + +The judge tries to follow them. He rides his bike. But he is slow and clumsy. He falls off his bike. He gets wet and dirty. He loses his wig. He looks funny. + +Lily and Ben see him. They laugh. They do not care what he says. They are happy. They are animals. They are children. They are free. +Lily was a dancer. She liked to dance with her friends at school. They had a show for their moms and dads. Lily was number four. She had to wait for her turn. + +But Tim was number three. He did not like to dance. He liked to run and jump and play. He did not want to do the show. He said, "Dancing is silly. I don't want to be number three. I want to be number one." + +He pushed Lily and took her spot. Lily was sad and angry. She said, "No, Tim. That is not fair. You are number three. I am number four. You have to wait like me." + +Tim said, "No, I don't. I am bigger and faster than you. I can do whatever I want. You are a small and slow dancer. You can't stop me." + +Lily felt tears in her eyes. She did not know what to do. She looked for her teacher. But her teacher was busy with the other dancers. She looked for her mom. But her mom was in the audience. She felt alone and scared. + +Then she saw Ben. Ben was number five. He was her friend. He liked to dance and to help. He saw what Tim did. He said, "Tim, that is not nice. You have to follow the rules. You have to be number three. Lily is number four. She worked hard for her spot. You have to give it back to her." + +Tim said, "No, I don't. You are a small and slow dancer too. You can't make me." + +Ben said, "Yes, I can. I am not small and slow. I am strong and brave. And I have a huge surprise for you." + +He ran to the stage. He grabbed a big balloon. He popped it. It made a loud noise. Tim was scared. He jumped and screamed. He ran away from the stage. He dropped his number. + +Lily ran to the stage. She picked up her number. She smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You are a great dancer. You are my hero." + +Ben said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend too. You are a beautiful dancer. You are my star." + +They went to their spots. They waited for their turn. They did their show. They danced with joy. Their moms and dads clapped and cheered. They were happy. They were proud. They were dancers. +Lily and Sam went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked the beach a lot. They felt the warm sand on their feet and the cool water on their toes. They saw many things at the beach: shells, crabs, birds, and boats. + +"Look, Lily, a big shell!" Sam said. He picked up the shell and showed it to his sister. "It is pretty and shiny. Do you want it?" + +"Yes, please, Sam. Thank you!" Lily said. She took the shell and smiled. She put it in her bucket with other shells. She liked to collect shells. + +Lily and Sam were playful. They ran and jumped and splashed in the water. They made a sandcastle with Mom and Dad. They decorated it with shells and seaweed. They were happy and proud of their sandcastle. + +"Wow, what a beautiful sandcastle!" Mom said. "You did a great job, Lily and Sam!" + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Sam said. They hugged Mom and Dad. They felt loved and safe at the beach. They had a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. The sun is bright and warm. It makes things shine. + +One day, they find a cross in the grass. It is made of wood and metal. It has a shiny star on it. Anna and Ben wonder what it is. + +"Maybe it is a toy," Anna says. "Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "It looks old and heavy. Maybe someone left it here." + +They try to lift the cross, but it is too hard. They cannot move it. They feel sad. + +Then they see a man walking by. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He has a kind smile. + +"Hello, children," he says. "What are you doing?" + +"We found this cross," Anna says. "But we can't play with it. It is too heavy." + +The man looks at the cross. He nods. + +"This is not a toy," he says. "This is a special cross. It belongs to the church. It is a sign of God's love and peace." + +"God's love and peace?" Ben asks. "What does that mean?" + +The man explains. He tells them that God made the sun and the stars and everything that shines. He tells them that God loves them and wants them to be happy and kind. He tells them that the cross is a reminder of how God sent his son, Jesus, to be their friend and helper. + +"Jesus is our friend and helper?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, he is," the man says. "He is the most helpful friend you can have. He teaches us how to love and forgive and share. He is always with us in our hearts." + +Anna and Ben listen. They feel happy and curious. They want to know more about Jesus. + +"Can we go to the church with you?" Ben asks. "Can we see more crosses and stars?" + +The man smiles. He takes their hands. + +"Of course, you can," he says. "The church is open for everyone. Come, let's go together." + +Anna and Ben follow the man. They walk to the church. They see more crosses and stars. They shine in the sun. They feel God's love and peace. They are glad they met the helpful man. They want to be helpful friends too. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. Sara has a red bag with her toys. Tom wants to play with her toys too, but Sara does not want to share. + +"Can I have your doll?" Tom asks. + +"No, it is mine!" Sara says. + +"Please, just for a little bit?" Tom begs. + +"No, go away!" Sara shouts. + +Tom is angry. He tries to grab the red bag from Sara. Sara holds on tight. They pull and tug. The red bag falls to the ground. The toys spill out. + +"Look what you did!" Sara cries. + +She picks up her doll and slaps Tom on the face. Tom feels a sting. He starts to cry. + +"Ow, that hurts!" Tom says. + +He runs to his mom. Sara feels bad. She runs to Tom and his mom. + +"I am sorry, Tom. I should not have slapped you. Do you want to play with my doll?" Sara says. + +Tom looks at Sara. He sees that she is sorry. He wipes his tears. + +"Okay, Sara. I am sorry too. I should not have tried to take your bag. Can we be friends?" Tom says. + +Sara smiles. She gives Tom her doll. + +"Yes, Tom. We can be friends. Let's play together." Sara says. + +They hug and go back to the park. They share the toys and have fun. Sara's mom and Tom's mom are happy to see them get along. They watch them play and smile. +Tom liked to play with pebbles. He had many pebbles of different colors and shapes. He liked to make patterns with them on the ground. He liked to pretend they were his friends. + +One day, he found a very special pebble. It was shiny and smooth and had many colors. It looked like a rainbow. Tom was very happy. He named the pebble Ray and put it in his pocket. + +He wanted to show Ray to his mom and dad. He ran to his house. But on the way, he tripped and fell. He scraped his knee and cried.
