They liked to sing and pray with the people. They also liked to listen to the stories that the pastor told. He talked about God and Jesus and how they loved everyone. + +One day, the pastor told a story about a poor man who had no home and no food.

She said, "No, Ben! It is more fun this way. Look, the water is like a river. We can sail our boat on it." She put her toy boat in the tub and pushed it. + +But Ben was right. The water spilled out of the tub and onto the grass. It made a big puddle. The puddle got bigger and bigger. It reached the flowers and the swing. It reached the door and the steps. It reached Lily and Ben's feet. + +Lily and Ben were wet and cold. They felt uncomfortable. They did not like the flood. They wished they had listened to Ben. They turned off the hose and ran inside.

He liked to watch cartoons and songs and animals. He watched television every day after school and before bed. + +One day, his mom said, "Sam, you watch too much television.

His mom was serious. She took away his television and put it in the closet. She locked the closet and hid the key. She said, "Sam, you have no television for a week.

Please, mom, forgive me and give me another chance." + +His mom hugged him and said, "Sam, I forgive you. I love you and I want you to be happy. But I also want you to be healthy and smart and kind. Television is not bad, but too much of anything is bad. You need to balance your time and your activities. You need to listen to me and follow the rules. You need to be good and polite and helpful.

They wished they had a bigger spade or a net to catch the bird. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some birds are not nice and that they should protect their castle better.

"This is the tip. It is shiny and bright." + +"That is a nice tower, Lily," Tom says. "But I can make a bigger tower." He puts more and more blue blocks on his tower.

It is mine." + +Tom feels sad and angry. He wants a yellow block too. He thinks Lily is not fair. He pushes Lily's tower with his hand. The tower falls down and the blocks scatter on the floor.

Can we be friends again?" + +Lily looks at Tom and the yellow block. She feels happy. She likes Tom. He is her friend. + +"Thank you, Tom," Lily says. "You are kind.

We can change it. We can build a new tower together. A bigger and better tower. With a yellow tip." + +Lily and Tom smile at each other. They hug and say sorry. They start to build a new tower with their blocks. They are glad they are friends again. They have fun playing with blocks. +Jen liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She drew her family, her dog, her house and her toys. She wanted to show her pictures to her grandma, who lived far away.

She had never been to the post office before. + +The next day, Jen and her mom walked to the post office. Jen held her mom's hand and looked around. She saw many people, cars, bikes and shops. She also saw a big red box with a slot on the front. Her mom said that was the post box, where they had to put the envelope. Jen was curious. She wanted to see what was inside the post box. She asked her mom if she could peek inside. Her mom said no, that was not allowed. She said they had to wait in line to buy a stamp and then put the envelope in the slot. Jen was impatient. She wanted to send her pictures to her grandma right away. + +Finally, it was their turn to buy a stamp. Jen watched as her mom gave some money to the lady behind the counter and got a small sticker with a picture of a flower on it.

Jen asked her mom when her grandma would get the envelope. Her mom said it would take a few days, but that her grandma would be very happy to see her pictures.

How was your day?" + +"We had fun, Mom," Lily said. "We played in the garden. We saw a green vine. It was so pretty." + +"We are glad you had fun, Lily," Dad said. "But be careful with the vine. It might have thorns or bugs. You don't want to hurt yourself." + +"Okay, Dad," Tom said. "We will be careful. Can we show you the vine?" + +"Of course, Tom," Mom said. "Let's go see the vine together." + +They all walked to the garden. They looked at the vine. It was still green and pretty. They smiled and held hands.

Why did you do that?" + +Ben was sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break it. I wanted to play with it. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily looked at the broken pebble and said, "Yes, we can still be friends. But next time, be careful with my things. And maybe we can find another pebble that is not broken." + +Ben nodded and said, "OK, Lily. I will be careful. And maybe we can glue the pebble back together. Or we can make a heart with the two pieces." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Ben. Let's do that. Come on, let's look for more pebbles and have fun." +Anna and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma kept there. They found a big box full of clothes and hats and shoes. They decided to try them on and pretend to be different people. + +Anna put on a long dress and a hat with feathers. She felt like a princess. Ben put on a coat and a hat with a hole. He felt like a detective. They looked at each other and laughed. + +"Who are you?" Anna asked Ben. + +"I am a detective and I am looking for clues," Ben said. "Who are you?" + +"I am a princess and I am going to a ball," Anna said. + +They played for a while, making up stories and having fun. Then they heard a noise. It was their grandma calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, let's go," Ben said. "We can play more later." + +They took off the clothes and put them back in the box. But Anna forgot to take off her hat. She ran after Ben, holding her dress. + +As they were going down the stairs, Anna felt something tickle her face. She looked up and saw a big cobweb on her hat.

They wanted to play, but the big boy was mean. They looked for help. + +They saw a lady sitting on a bench. She had a nice smile and a book. She was a judge.

They told her what happened. They said, "The big boy is mean. He kicked our sand castles and threw our bucket. He said we are too little to play here. He made us sad." + +The lady frowned.

She said, "Hello, young man. I am a judge. I saw what you did. Why did you do that?" + +The big boy looked at the lady. He was not scared. He was rude. He said, "I don't care who you are. This is my park. I can do what I want. You can't tell me what to do. Go away!" + +The lady shook her head. She said, "That is not true. This is not your park. This is a public park. You have to share it with others. You can't do what you want. You have to follow the rules. You can't be mean to other children. You have to be kind and respectful. You have to say sorry to Lily and Ben. And you have to give them back their bucket." + +The big boy snorted. He said, "No, I won't. You can't make me. You are not my mom. You are not my boss. You are just a lady with a book. You are dirty. Your book is dirty. Your clothes are dirty. Your hair is dirty. You are dirty!" + +The lady gasped. She said, "That is very rude. That is very wrong.

I will be clean." + +The lady smiled. She said, "That is good. That is what you should do. That is what a judge does. A judge helps people with problems. A judge tells the truth. A judge is fair.

"It is very yummy!" + +"Thank you, Tom!" Lily said. She held a fork and pretended to eat the mud pie. "It is very yummy indeed!" + +They heard their mum calling them from the house. "Tom, Lily, come inside! It is time to get tidy and have a snack!" + +Tom and Lily ran to the house. They left their pots and pans and spoons and forks in the garden.

It was not a pan, but an iron that their mum used to make clothes smooth. + +Their mum was waiting for them in the kitchen. She had a plate of cookies and a jug of milk for them. She smiled when she saw them. "You look very dirty, but very happy!" she said. "But before you have a snack, you need to wash your hands and faces." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They went to the bathroom and turned on the tap. They washed their hands and faces with soap and water. They dried them with a towel. They looked very tidy. + +They went back to the kitchen and sat at the table. They ate the cookies and drank the milk. They thanked their mum for the snack. + +"Can we go back to the garden and play some more?" Tom asked. + +"Of course you can, but be careful with the pots and pans," their mum said. "Some of them are old and rusty and might hurt you." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They ran back to the garden. They did not see that the iron was still in the garden. They did not see that the wire was plugged into a socket. They did not see that the iron was very hot. They did not see the danger. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with fire.

"It is red and yellow and hot!" + +"Yes, Tom, the fire is mighty!" Sam says. "But we have to be careful. Fire can hurt us and Mom and Dad." + +They hear Mom call them from the kitchen. "Tom! Sam!

The backyard is on fire!" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They cry. They are sorry. They did not mean to make a big fire. + +Mom calls the firemen. The firemen come with a big truck and a hose.

One day, Tom and Lily found a big ball in the backyard. They wanted to play with it, but they could not agree on who would go first. + +"I saw it first, so I should play with it first!" Tom said. + +"No, I saw it first, so I should play with it first!" Lily said. + +They both tried to reach for the ball, but they pulled too hard and the ball popped. They heard a loud noise and saw air coming out of the ball. They were sad and angry. + +"Look what you did! You broke the ball!" Tom said. + +"No, you did! You pulled too hard!" Lily said. + +They started to cry and yell at each other. Spot heard them and came to see what was wrong. He saw the broken ball and the sad twins.

Tom said. + +"He is so nice and kind!" Lily said. + +They stopped crying and yelling and smiled at Spot. They thanked him and took turns playing with the bone. They also hugged and said sorry to each other. + +"We should be like Spot and share our toys. That is fair and fun!" Tom said. + +"Yes, you are right. Sharing is caring!" Lily said. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that fighting over toys is not good, and that sharing with others is better. They also learned that Spot was a good friend who loved them very much. They played happily with Spot and the bone, and forgot about the broken ball. +Sara and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Sara is the seeker and Ben is the hider.

It makes them laugh. + +"You are a smart bird!" Lily says. "Can you teach us your song?" + +"Sure, I can!" the parrot says. "But you have to do something for me first." + +"What is it?" Ben asks. + +The parrot says: "You have to part my wings and tickle me. It makes me happy." + +Lily and Ben think it is a fun game. They part the parrot's wings and tickle it. The parrot giggles and says thank you. + +"OK, now I will teach you my song!" the parrot says. "Repeat after me: I am a parrot, I have a carrot, I like to share it, with my friends who care it!" + +Lily and Ben repeat the song. They learn it quickly. They sing it with the parrot. They have a lot of fun. They make a new friend. +Lily and Sam were very happy. Today was the day of the big parade. They put on their pink hats and coats and went outside with Mom and Dad. They walked to the park where the parade would start. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Sam said. "There are so many people and flags and balloons!" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She saw a big truck with a loud horn. She saw a band with drums and trumpets. She saw clowns with funny noses and shoes. She saw animals with feathers and fur. She blinked her eyes. She wanted to see everything. + +"Wow, Sam, wow!" Lily said. "There are so many colors and sounds and shapes!" + +Sam nodded and clapped. He saw a fire engine with a siren. He saw a float with flowers and candy. He saw dancers with dresses and hats. He saw a lion with a mane and a roar. He blinked his eyes. He wanted to hear everything. + +Mom and Dad held their hands and watched the parade with them. They laughed and cheered and waved. They were very proud of Lily and Sam. They blinked their eyes. They wanted to remember everything. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with black fur and yellow eyes. The dog was not on a leash. It was running and barking. It seemed wild and hungry. + +"Look, a doggy!" Mia said. She liked dogs. She wanted to pet the dog. + +"No, Mia, don't!" Tom said. He was scared of the dog. He thought the dog would bite them. He grabbed Mia's hand and tried to run away. + +But the dog was faster. It chased Tom and Mia. It caught up with them. It jumped on Mia and knocked her down. It bit her arm. Mia screamed. + +Tom cried for help. He kicked the dog. But the dog was strong. It did not let go of Mia. It bit her harder. + +No one came to help Tom and Mia. The dog hurt them very much. They could not get away. They were very sad and scared. The dog was very bad. The end. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with cars, sometimes they play with blocks, sometimes they play with animals. But their favorite game is to scare each other. + +One day, they are playing with animals in their room. Tim has a lion, Sam has a monkey. They make noises and pretend to be in the jungle. Tim says, "Roar! I am a big lion. I will scare you, monkey!" Sam says, "Ooh-ooh! I am a fast monkey. You cannot scare me, lion!" + +They chase each other around the room, laughing and having fun. Then they hear their mom calling them. She says, "Boys, it is time for your nap. Come downstairs and have some milk and cookies." Tim and Sam say, "Okay, mom. We are coming." + +They put their animals away and go downstairs. They have some milk and cookies and hug their mom. She says, "You are good boys. Now go to your beds and have a nice nap. I will wake you up later." Tim and Sam say, "Okay, mom. We love you." + +They go to their beds and lie down. They are tired from playing. They close their eyes and start to fall asleep. But Tim has an idea. He thinks, "I will scare Sam. I will wait until he is asleep and then I will roar like a lion. He will be so scared. It will be funny." + +He opens his eyes and looks at Sam. Sam is snoring softly. He is asleep. Tim smiles and gets out of his bed. He tiptoes to Sam's bed. He is very quiet. He bends over Sam and opens his mouth. He is ready to roar. + +But before he can roar, Sam opens his eyes and says, "Boo!" He scares Tim. Tim jumps back and screams. He is so scared. He did not know Sam was awake. Sam laughs and says, "I scared you, lion. I was pretending to sleep. I knew you wanted to scare me. It is not funny." + +Tim feels silly and sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Sam. I was trying to be funny. I did not mean to scare you. You are a smart monkey. You tricked me." Sam says, "It is okay, Tim. I forgive you. But do not scare me again. It is not nice." + +They hug and say, "I love you, brother." They go back to their beds and cuddle with their animals. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They fall asleep and have sweet dreams. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make roads and bridges with the sand and the sticks. They also liked to dig holes and tunnels with their shovels. They pretended that their cars were going on adventures underground. + +One day, they found a big hole under a tree. They wondered what was inside. They decided to explore it with their cars. They put their cars in the hole and pushed them deeper and deeper. They could not see their cars anymore, but they could hear them bumping and scraping. + +"Wow, this is fun!" said Lily. "Maybe we will find treasure or dinosaurs!" + +"Or maybe we will find a monster!" said Ben. "A big, grumpy monster that will eat our cars!" + +Lily and Ben got scared. They did not want to lose their cars. They did not want to meet a monster. They pulled their shovels out of the hole and tried to get their cars back. But they could not reach them. They were too far away. + +Lily and Ben started to cry. They wished they had not put their cars in the hole. They wished they had listened to their mom, who told them not to dig too deep. They did not know what to do. + +Then, Lily had an idea. She remembered what her grandma had taught her. She said to Ben, "Let's pray. Let's ask God to help us get our cars back. God can do anything. He can hear us even underground." + +Ben nodded. He wiped his tears and held Lily's hand. They closed their eyes and prayed. They asked God to please send their cars back to them. They said they were sorry for being naughty. They said they loved God and their cars. + +They waited for a while. Then, they heard a sound. It was their cars! They saw their cars coming out of the hole, one by one. They were dirty and scratched, but they were still working. Lily and Ben were so happy. They hugged their cars and thanked God. + +They learned their lesson. They never put their cars in the hole again. They played with them on the ground, where they could see them and keep them safe. They also prayed every day, to thank God for his love and help. They knew that God was always with them, even underground. +Lily and Ben wanted to bake a cake for Mom's birthday. They asked Dad to help them. Dad said yes, but he was busy with work. He told them to wait for him in the kitchen. + +Lily and Ben did not want to wait. They were stubborn. They thought they could bake the cake by themselves. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some milk. They mixed everything together. They did not measure anything. They made a big mess. + +They poured the batter into a pan. They put the pan in the oven. They turned the oven on. They did not know how long to bake the cake. They decided to watch the sun. When the sun moved a little, they thought the cake was done. + +They opened the oven. They saw a big, black, smelly cake. It was burned. They were sad. They heard Dad coming. They hid the cake under a towel. + +Dad came into the kitchen. He saw the mess. He smelled the smoke. He lifted the towel. He saw the cake. He was not angry. He was surprised. He smiled. + +He said, "What is this?" + +Lily and Ben said, "We wanted to bake a cake for Mom. But we did not wait for you. We were stubborn. We are sorry." + +Dad said, "It's okay. I'm proud of you for trying. But next time, please wait for me. Baking is not easy. You need to follow a recipe. And you need to use a timer. The sun is not a good clock." + +Lily and Ben said, "We understand. We love you, Dad. Can we still make a cake for Mom?" + +Dad said, "Of course. We can make a new cake together. And we can decorate it with frosting and sprinkles. Mom will love it. And she will love you more." + +Lily and Ben hugged Dad. They cleaned up the mess. They made a new cake. It was yummy. Mom was happy. They had a great birthday party. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to watch movies. They had a new movie to watch on their TV. It was about a princess and a dragon. Sara was very excited to see what would happen. + +But Tom had already seen the movie with his big brother. He knew how it ended. He wanted to tell Sara everything. He thought it would be fun. + +"Guess what?" he said. "The princess is really a witch. And the dragon is her pet. And they are bad. They want to hurt the king and the people." + +Sara was very sad. She did not want to know that. She wanted to watch the movie and find out for herself. She felt that Tom had spoiled the movie for her. She did not want to watch it anymore. + +"Why did you do that?" she asked. "You ruined the movie for me. That was not nice. That was mean." + +Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to make Sara sad. He thought he was being helpful. He did not know that she wanted to be surprised. He realized that he had made a mistake. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," he said. "I was wrong. I should not have told you. I should have let you watch the movie and enjoy it. I was not compassionate. I was selfish. Can you forgive me?" + +Sara looked at Tom. She saw that he was sincere. She knew that he was her friend. She decided to forgive him. + +"It's okay, Tom," she said. "I forgive you. But next time, please don't spoil the movie for me. Let me watch it with you and share the fun. That's what friends do." + +Tom nodded. He hugged Sara. They decided to watch the movie anyway. They hoped that it would still be good. They learned to be more compassionate and respectful of each other's feelings. They had a happy time. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tunnel made of wood and metal. They want to go inside and explore. + +"Can we go in the tunnel, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but be careful and stay together," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben run to the tunnel. They notice it is dark and cold inside. They hear strange noises and see shadows. + +"Are you scared, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"A little bit. But we are brave, right?" Ben says. + +They hold hands and walk further into the tunnel. They notice a small hole in the wall. They peek through and see a bright light. + +"Look, Lily, there is something outside!" Ben says. + +They push the hole and make it bigger. They notice it is flexible and can bend. They crawl through the hole and see a beautiful garden. There are flowers, butterflies, and birds. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Lily says. + +They play in the garden and forget about the tunnel. They notice a big slide and a swing. They have fun and laugh. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to go home!" Mom calls. + +Lily and Ben run back to the tunnel. They say goodbye to the garden and crawl through the hole. They notice the tunnel is not so scary anymore. + +They hug Mom and tell her about their adventure. + +"We found a secret garden in the tunnel, Mom!" Lily says. + +"That sounds wonderful, my darlings. You are very clever and flexible," Mom says. + +They smile and go home. They dream about the tunnel and the garden. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going to see a big game at the stadium with their dad. They liked to watch the players run and kick the ball. They wore red shirts and hats to cheer for their team. + +When they got to the stadium, they saw many people and flags and noises. They followed their dad to their seats. They were very high up and they could see the whole field. Lily and Ben clapped and shouted when their team scored a goal. + +But then, a man with a brown coat and a mean face came and sat next to them. He was cheering for the other team. He had a big horn and he blew it very loud in their ears. He also said bad words and laughed at their team. Lily and Ben felt scared and sad. They did not like the man. + +They told their dad, but he said they had to ignore him. He said they could not move to another seat because the stadium was full. He said they had to be brave and enjoy the game. + +Lily and Ben tried to do that, but the man did not stop. He kept blowing his horn and saying bad words and laughing. He made them very angry. They wanted him to go away. + +Then, they had an idea. They saw a big cup of soda on the man's lap. They looked at each other and nodded. They waited for the right moment. When the man was blowing his horn again, they both dived and grabbed the cup. They poured the soda all over the man's head and coat. The man was shocked and wet and sticky. He dropped his horn and yelled. Lily and Ben ran away with their dad. They found another seat far from the man. They felt happy and proud. They hugged their dad and watched the rest of the game. They saw their team win and they cheered very loud. They did not hear the man anymore. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys and tools. They liked to dig and plant and make things. One day, they found a shiny stone in the dirt. It was red and sparkly. They thought it was a treasure. + +They wanted to make more treasures. They got a big bowl and some water. They put the shiny stone in the bowl. Then they looked for other things to mix with it. They found some leaves, some flowers, some feathers, some sand and some mud. They put them all in the bowl and stirred them with a stick. + +They were very happy with their treasure mix. They thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world. They wanted to show it to their mom and dad. They carried the bowl to the house. But they did not see the big rock on the path. They tripped over the rock and fell down. The bowl flew out of their hands and broke on the ground. The treasure mix spilled everywhere. + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They cried and cried. They thought they had lost their treasure. But then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She had seen what happened. She came to hug them and comfort them. + +She said, "Don't cry, my sweeties. You are very lucky. You still have your treasure. It is not in the bowl. It is in your hearts. You have the treasure of imagination and creativity. You can make anything you want with your toys and tools. And you have the treasure of love and friendship. You have each other and me and dad. Those are the best treasures in the world." +Sara loves spaghetti. She likes to eat it with cheese and sauce. Sometimes she makes funny shapes with the noodles on her plate. She likes to pretend they are snakes or worms or letters. + +One night, Sara has a dream about spaghetti. She is in a big kitchen with many pots and pans. She sees a big bowl of spaghetti on the table. It is pink! Sara wonders why the spaghetti is pink. She walks to the table and smells the spaghetti. It smells like strawberries and cream. + +"Hello, Sara!" a voice says. Sara looks around and sees a friendly mouse. The mouse is wearing a chef hat and a apron. He is holding a spoon. "Do you want to try my pink spaghetti? I made it with love and magic!" + +Sara is surprised and curious. She likes mice and she likes magic. She nods and smiles. The mouse gives her a plate and a fork. Sara takes a bite of the pink spaghetti. It is sweet and soft and yummy. She likes it very much. + +"Thank you, Mr. Mouse!" Sara says. "Your pink spaghetti is delicious!" + +"You're welcome, Sara!" the mouse says. "I'm glad you like it. You can have as much as you want. This is your dream, after all!" + +Sara and the mouse eat and chat and laugh. They have a lot of fun. Sara thinks this is the best dream ever. She hopes she can dream of pink spaghetti again. +Lila and Tom were hungry. They wanted to cook some fish for lunch. They took their rods and went to the stream. The stream was dirty. It had mud and trash in it. But Lila and Tom did not care. They threw their lines into the water and waited. + +"Look, I got one!" Tom shouted. He pulled a big fish out of the stream. It was slimy and smelly. Lila was jealous. She wanted a big fish too. She cast her line again and again. But she only caught a boot and a can. + +"Give me some of your fish, Tom!" Lila said. "No, it's mine!" Tom said. "You can have the boot and the can." He laughed. Lila was angry. She grabbed Tom's fish and ran away. Tom chased her. They fought and yelled. + +They did not see the big dog that was watching them. The dog was hungry too. It smelled the fish and ran after them. It barked and growled. Lila and Tom were scared. They dropped the fish and ran. But the dog was faster. It caught them and bit them. They cried and bled. + +The dog ate the fish and left. Lila and Tom were hurt and sad. They had no fish, no lunch, and no fun. They wished they had not gone to the dirty stream. They wished they had shared and been nice. But it was too late. The end. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big doll that she called Queen. Queen wore a shiny dress and a crown. Lily liked to lead Queen around the house and pretend they were going to a party. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, it's time for lunch. Come to the kitchen and eat your sandwich." Lily said, "Okay, mom. But can I bring Queen with me?" Mom said, "Sure, you can. But don't forget to wash your hands first." + +Lily took Queen to the bathroom and washed her hands. She also washed Queen's face and hands, because she wanted her to be clean for the party. Then she went to the kitchen and sat down at the table. Mom gave her a sandwich and a glass of milk. Lily said, "Thank you, mom. This looks yummy." She took a bite of her sandwich and gave another bite to Queen. She said, "Here, Queen. You must be hungry too." + +But Queen did not eat the sandwich. She just stared at Lily with her big eyes. Lily said, "Queen, why don't you eat? Don't you like the sandwich?" She tried to push the sandwich into Queen's mouth, but it did not fit. Queen's mouth was too small and hard. Lily said, "Oh, I forgot. You are a doll. You don't eat real food. You only eat pretend food." + +Lily felt sorry for Queen. She said, "I'm sorry, Queen. I didn't mean to make you unhappy. I have an idea. Why don't we make some pretend food for you? We can use the play-doh and the cookie cutters. Then we can have a pretend party with the other dolls. Would you like that?" + +Queen nodded her head. She smiled at Lily. She was happy that Lily was her friend. She liked to play with her. Lily said, "Okay, let's go. Come on, Queen. I will lead you to the playroom. We will have so much fun." She took Queen by the hand and ran to the playroom. Mom watched them go. She smiled too. She was glad that Lily had a good imagination.

Tom feels sad and angry. He thinks Lily is not a good friend. He says he does not want to play with her anymore. + +Lily feels sorry and hurt. She likes Tom and she does not want to lose him. She thinks she was selfish and mean. She wants to say sorry and share her pencil. But Tom does not look at her. He sits far away from her. + +After the test, the teacher gives them stickers. Lily gets a yellow star. Tom gets a blue heart. Lily walks to Tom and gives him her sticker. She says, "I am sorry, Tom. I was wrong. Can I give you my star and you give me your heart? Can we be friends again?" + +Tom looks at Lily and sees her sad eyes. He remembers how they used to have fun together. He feels sorry too. He says, "I am sorry, Lily. I was mad. You can have my heart and I can have your star. You are a good friend. I forgive you." + +Lily and Tom hug and smile. They exchange their stickers and their pencils. They feel warm and happy. They are friends again. +Tom and Anna liked to play pirates. They had a big box that was their ship, and a paper map that showed where the treasure was. They put on hats and scarves and pretended to sail the seas. + +One day, they saw a mean boy named Ben, who wanted to take their map. He ran towards them and shouted, "Give me that map, or I'll make you walk the plank!" + +Tom and Anna were scared, but they did not want to lose their map. Tom said, "No, this is our map, and we will protect it. Go away, Ben, you are not a pirate, you are a bully!" + +Ben did not listen. He grabbed the map and tore it in half. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, now you have no map, and no treasure. You are silly pirates, and I am the king of the sea!" + +Tom and Anna cried. They felt very sad and angry. They had worked hard to make their map, and now it was ruined. They had no ship, no treasure, and no fun. They wished they had a real pirate to help them. They hugged each other and tried to feel comfortable, but they did not. They wished Ben would go away and never come back. +Ben liked to spin. He spun on his chair, he spun on his bike, he spun on his toy car. He spun so fast that he felt dizzy and happy. He wanted to spin more and more. + +One day, he saw a big red truck outside his house. It had a loud siren and a long ladder. It was a fireman truck. Ben ran to the window and watched the firemen get out. They wore yellow hats and coats. They had a hose and an axe. They looked very busy and brave. + +"Wow, firemen!" Ben said. "I want to be a fireman too!" + +He ran to his room and put on his red shirt and his yellow hat. He grabbed his toy hose and his toy axe. He ran outside and pretended to be a fireman. He sprayed water at the flowers, he chopped the grass, he climbed the tree. He had so much fun. + +But then he saw something else. He saw the fireman truck. It was parked on the street, with the door open. Ben had an idea. He ran to the truck and climbed inside. He saw a big wheel and a lot of buttons. He wanted to spin the wheel and press the buttons. He thought it would be fun. + +He reached for the wheel and gave it a spin. He heard a loud honk. He pressed a button and heard a siren. He pressed another button and saw the ladder move. He was so excited. He spun the wheel more and more. He pressed more and more buttons. + +But he did not see what was happening outside. He did not see the truck start to roll. He did not see the firemen run after him. He did not see the cars and the people on the street. He did not see the danger. + +"Stop! Stop!" the firemen shouted. "Get out of the truck!" + +But Ben did not hear them. He was too busy spinning and pressing. He was having too much fun. + +Until he saw a big wall. A big brick wall. A big brick wall that was getting closer and closer. Ben felt scared. He wanted to stop. He wanted to get out. But he did not know how. + +He closed his eyes and screamed. + +"Ben! Ben!" he heard a voice. A familiar voice. A voice that sounded like his mom. + +He opened his eyes and saw his mom. She was holding him in her arms. She looked worried and angry. She had a bandage on her arm. She had a tear on her dress. + +"Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "You almost crashed the fireman truck! You hurt yourself and me and the firemen! You could have hurt more people! You were not careful, Ben! You were very naughty!" + +Ben felt sorry. He felt ashamed. He felt sad. He hugged his mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, firemen. I just wanted to spin. I just wanted to be a fireman. I didn't mean to be bad." + +His mom sighed and kissed him. She said, "I know, Ben. I know you like to spin. I know you like to be a fireman. But you have to be careful, Ben. You have to be safe. You have to listen and follow the rules. You have to be a good boy, Ben. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "I understand, mom. I will be careful. I will be safe. I will listen and follow the rules. I will be a good boy, mom. I promise." + +His mom smiled and said, "That's good, Ben. That's very good. I love you, Ben. You are my brave and smart boy. But please, no more spinning on the fireman truck, okay?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Okay, mom. No more spinning on the fireman truck. Only on my chair, my bike, and my toy car. And only when you say it's okay." + +His mom laughed and said, "That's right, Ben. That's much better. Now let's go home and have some ice cream. And say thank you to the firemen for being so nice and forgiving." + +Ben said, "Thank you, firemen. You are very nice and forgiving. And very busy and brave. And very careful and safe. I want to be like you when I grow up. But not today. Today I just want to have some ice cream with my mom." + +The firemen smiled and waved. They said, "You're welcome, Ben.

"It will be fun!" + +"No, Tom, that's bad!" Sam said. "The track is not for us. It is for trains. Trains are fast and loud. They can hurt us." + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the track. He wanted to touch the rails and the stones. He did not see the train coming. + +"Tom, come back!" Sam shouted. "There is a train! It is coming!" + +Sam was scared. He wanted to help Tom. But he did not want to go on the track. He knew it was wrong. He resisted the urge to follow Tom. He stayed on the grass. He called for his mom. + +"Mom, mom, help! Tom is on the track! There is a train!" + +The moms heard Sam. They saw Tom. They ran to the track. They waved their arms and yelled at Tom. They tried to stop the train. + +The train saw the moms. It blew its horn.

He said he was sorry. He said he would never do it again. + +Sam was relieved. He was glad Tom was safe. He was proud he did not go on the track. He was a good friend. + +"Tom, I'm happy you are okay," Sam said. "But don't ever do that again. The track is not for us. It is for trains. We can watch them from far away. We can play with our toys.

She reached for the gem, but Tom pulled it away. + +"No, it's mine!" he said. "I found it first!" + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to share the gem with Tom. She thought he was being mean. + +Tom put the gem in his pocket and ran away. He wanted to keep the gem for himself. He thought it was very special. + +But he did not know that the gem belonged to someone else. It was a magic gem that a fairy had dropped by mistake. The fairy was looking for her gem. She was worried that someone had taken it. She flew around the garden, searching for her gem. + +She saw Tom hiding behind a bush. She saw the gem in his pocket. She flew over to him and said, "Hey, you! Give me back my gem!" + +Tom was scared. He saw the fairy. She was small and had wings and a wand. He did not know what to do. + +"Please, don't hurt me!" he said. "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was yours!" + +The fairy was angry. She said, "You should not take things that are not yours. You should not disturb the magic of the garden. You should share with your friends." + +She took the gem from his pocket and flew away. She said, "I hope you learned your lesson." + +Tom felt ashamed. He realized he had been selfish and greedy. He ran back to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Tom. I forgive you. Let's play together." + +They hugged and played in the garden. They did not disturb the magic anymore.

She saw an ice cream shop near the exit. + +"Sure, Lily, we can get some ice cream. You deserve a treat," her mom said. They walked to the ice cream shop. + +Lily chose chocolate ice cream. Her mom chose vanilla. They sat on a bench and ate their ice cream. It was yummy. Lily licked her lips. She was full. + +"Did you have fun at the mall, Lily?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, I had fun. Thank you for the dress and the ice cream," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. I love you," her mom said. + +"I love you too, mom," Lily said. They hugged. + +They got up and left the mall. They went home. Lily wore her new dress. She felt happy. +Lila and Tom are going to visit their grandma. They have to pack their bags. Lila puts her doll, her book and her hat in her bag.

You can use crayons or pencils," Lila says. + +"I like ink. It is black and shiny. And it makes funny shapes when I spill it," Tom says. + +Lila shakes her head. She thinks ink is messy and smelly. She does not like it. + +They finish packing their bags and go to the car. Their mom and dad help them with their bags. Tom's bag is very heavy. He tries to lift it, but he is weak. He drops his bag on the ground. + +"Oh no!" Tom cries. "My ink!" + +The ink bottle breaks and spills on the ground. The ink makes a big stain on the grass. Tom is sad. He liked his ink. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lila says. "Maybe grandma has some ink for you." + +"Maybe," Tom says. He wipes his tears. He hopes grandma has some ink. He likes to draw and write with ink. +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play outside in the park. One day, they saw a big puddle on the grass. They ran to the puddle and jumped in it. They splashed and laughed and made waves. + +"Look, Lila, a bird!" Sam said, pointing to the sky. Lila looked up and saw a big white bird with long wings. It was soaring high above the trees. It looked different from the other birds they knew. + +"What kind of bird is that?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a swan. Or a goose. Or a cloud-bird." Sam guessed. + +"A cloud-bird? What's that?" Lila wondered. + +"A cloud-bird is a bird that lives in the clouds. It can fly very fast and very far. It can make rain and snow and thunder. It's very special." Sam explained. + +"Wow, I wish I could see a cloud-bird up close. Do you think it would be friendly?" Lila said. + +"Maybe. Maybe we can be friends with the cloud-bird. Maybe we can soar with it." Sam said. + +They both smiled and imagined flying with the cloud-bird. They held hands and jumped in the puddle again. They felt happy and free. They felt different from the other kids. They felt like cloud-birds. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big stone near the pond. It was gray and round and smooth. + +"Let's climb on the stone!" Lily said. "It looks fun!" + +"OK!" Ben said. They ran to the stone and tried to climb on it. But the stone was too high and slippery. They could not reach the top. + +"Help!" Lily said. "I can't get up!" + +"Me neither!" Ben said. They felt scared and sad. They wanted to get off the stone. + +Then they heard a gentle voice. It was their mom. She had come to the park to find them. + +"Hello, my sweeties!" she said. "What are you doing on the stone?" + +"We wanted to climb on it, but we can't!" Lily said. + +"We are stuck!" Ben said. + +"Don't worry, I'm here to help you!" mom said. She reached out her arms and lifted them off the stone. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"Are you OK?" she asked. + +"Yes, we are OK!" Lily and Ben said. They felt happy and safe. + +"Thank you, mom!" they said. + +"You're welcome, my loves!" mom said. "But next time, be careful with the stone. It might be too hard or too wet for you. And always stay where I can see you, OK?" + +"OK, mom!" Lily and Ben said. They learned their lesson. They decided to play on the swings instead. They had fun and did not escape from mom again. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a toy car. Tim wants the car, but Kim says it is hers. They pull and push and shout. + +"Give me the car!" Tim says. + +"No, it is mine!" Kim says. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She asks them why they are fighting. Tim and Kim both lie. They say the other one took the car first. Mom is not happy. She says lying is bad. She takes the car away and tells them to go to their rooms. + +Tim and Kim go to their rooms. They are sad and angry. They sit on their beds and do not talk. They hear nothing but silence. They do not have the car or each other. They feel lonely and bored. + +After a while, Tim thinks of something. He gets up and goes to Kim's room. He knocks on the door. Kim opens it. She sees Tim holding a book. It is a book about animals. It has many pictures and words. It is interesting. + +"Kim, I am sorry I lied. I want to share the car with you. Do you want to read this book with me? It is interesting." Tim says. + +Kim smiles. She is sorry too. She says yes. She takes the book and invites Tim in. They sit on the bed and look at the book. They see lions and elephants and monkeys. They learn new things. They laugh and talk. + +Mom hears them and smiles. She is happy. She goes to their room and gives them a hug. She says she is proud of them. She says telling the truth and sharing are good. She gives them back the car. They say thank you. They play with the car and the book. They have fun together. + +The end. +Lily and Ben like to print pictures with their crayons. They have a big book with many pages of nature. They see trees, flowers, birds, and animals. They choose their favorite pages and print them on white paper. + +"Look, I print a red bird!" Lily says to Ben. She shows him her paper. "It is very pretty." + +"I print a green frog!" Ben says to Lily. He shows her his paper. "It is very funny." + +They laugh and print more pictures. They use many colors and make their pictures bright. They are happy to print nature. + +Then, they hear their mom call them. "Lily, Ben, time for lunch!" + +They run to the kitchen with their papers. They show their mom their prints. + +"Wow, you made beautiful prints of nature!" Mom says. She smiles and hugs them. "You are very creative." + +They eat their lunch and tell mom about their prints. They are proud and happy. They love to print nature. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big bowl of eggs on the counter. Sam had an idea. + +"Let's strike the eggs and see what happens!" he said to Ben. + +"OK!" Ben agreed. They took the eggs and threw them at the wall, the floor, and the window. They laughed as the eggs cracked and splattered everywhere. + +But they did not see that their mom was coming back from the store. She opened the door and saw the mess. She was very angry. + +"What did you do?" she shouted. "You wasted all the eggs and made a big mess! You are very naughty boys!" + +She took them to their room and gave them a spicy pepper to eat. They cried and said they were sorry, but it was too late. The pepper burned their mouths and made them thirsty. + +The moral of the story is: Do not strike the eggs or you will get a spicy punishment. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of animals, like a lion, a monkey, a giraffe and a bear. They liked to make noises and pretend they were in the jungle. + +"Roar!" said Lily, holding the lion. "I am the king of the jungle. I am strong and brave and fast." + +"Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!" said Ben, holding the monkey. "I am the smartest of the jungle. I can climb and swing and make funny faces." + +They played for a while, until their mom came in with a big box. She smiled and said, "Look what I have for you, kids. A surprise!" + +Lily and Ben ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw a new toy. It was a modern lion, with shiny fur and bright eyes. It had buttons and wires and speakers. It could move and talk and sing. + +"Wow!" said Lily and Ben. "A modern lion! It is so cool and pretty!" + +They took the modern lion out of the box and hugged it. It said, "Hello, I am Leo. I am your new friend. I can teach you many things. Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" said Lily and Ben. "We want to play with you, Leo. You are the best toy ever!" + +They played with Leo for a long time. He taught them new words and songs and games. He told them stories and jokes and facts. He made them laugh and learn and improve. + +Lily and Ben loved Leo. They also loved their other animals. They decided to share them with Leo, so he could learn about the jungle too. They made a big circle with all their toys and said, "We are all friends. We are all happy. We are all part of the jungle." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the evening, when the sun is not too hot. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. Sometimes they see birds, bugs and flowers. + +One evening, they see something new in the sky. It is bright and round and yellow. It looks like a big ball of cheese. + +"What is that?" Sara asks, pointing at the sky. + +"That is the moon," Ben says. He learned about the moon in preschool. "It comes out at night, when the sun goes to sleep." + +"Why does it come out at night?" Sara wonders. She likes to ask questions. + +"Because it likes the dark," Ben says. He likes to make up answers. + +"Can we touch it?" Sara wonders. She likes to touch things. + +"No, it is too far away," Ben says. He likes to be smart. + +"Can we eat it?" Sara wonders. She likes to eat things. + +"No, it is not cheese," Ben says. He likes to be funny. + +They laugh and swing and slide and play in the mild evening. They look at the moon and wonder what else is in the sky. They are happy and curious. They are twins. +Anna loves to play with her daddy. They like to make funny faces, sing songs, and tickle each other. Sometimes, daddy lifts Anna up in the air and makes her fly like a bird. Anna feels happy and free when daddy raises her high. + +One day, they go to the park. There are many trees and flowers. Anna sees a green balloon. She wants to have it. She points to the balloon and says, "Daddy, daddy, look! Green balloon! I want it!" + +Daddy smiles and says, "Okay, Anna, let's get the green balloon. But first, you have to do something for me. Can you raise your arms and say, 'I love you, daddy'?" + +Anna nods and does what daddy says. She raises her arms and says, "I love you, daddy!" Daddy hugs her and says, "I love you too, Anna. You are my sweet girl." + +Then, daddy buys the green balloon for Anna. He ties it to her wrist. Anna is very happy. She holds the balloon and says, "Thank you, daddy. You are the best daddy ever." + +They walk together, holding hands. The green balloon bounces in the air. Anna feels happy and loved. She thinks, "Daddy and me, we are a team. We can do anything." +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they see a big map of the world on the wall of the library. They are curious and want to learn more. + +"Look, Ben, this is where we live," Lily says, pointing to a small spot on the map. "And this is where grandma lives," she says, pointing to another spot far away. + +"Wow, that's so far," Ben says. "How do we get there?" + +"We can take a plane or a train or a car," Lily says. "But it takes a long time. That's why we don't see grandma often." + +"I miss grandma," Ben says. "She always gives me cookies and hugs." + +"Me too," Lily says. "She is very nice and useful. She helps us with our homework and tells us stories." + +They look at the map and see many other places and colors. They wonder what they are like and who lives there. + +"Maybe we can visit them someday," Lily says. "Maybe they are nice and useful too." + +"Maybe they like cookies and hugs too," Ben says. + +They smile and hug each other. They are happy to have each other and the world. They think the world is big and beautiful and full of friends. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big red truck in the park. It has a lot of gas in it. Tom says, "Let's take the truck and go for a ride. It will be fun." Sue says, "No, Tom. That is not our truck. That is stealing. Stealing is bad. We will get in trouble." + +Tom does not listen to Sue. He gets in the truck and starts it. He says, "Come on, Sue. Don't be scared. I know how to drive." Sue is scared, but she does not want to lose Tom. She gets in the truck too. Tom drives the truck out of the park and onto the road. He goes very fast. He does not stop at the red lights. He makes a lot of noise. + +Soon, a police car sees the truck. It has a siren and a light. It follows the truck and says, "Stop, stop, stop!" Tom does not stop. He tries to get away. He turns left and right. He bumps into other cars. He makes a big mess. Sue cries and says, "Tom, please stop. This is bad. This is wrong. We have to go back." + +Tom does not stop. He sees a bridge ahead. He thinks he can cross it and escape. He drives faster and faster. But he does not see the sign. The sign says, "Bridge closed. Do not enter." Tom drives onto the bridge. But the bridge is broken. It has a big hole in the middle. The truck falls into the hole. It makes a loud boom. The gas explodes. The truck is gone. + +Tom and Sue are very lucky. They are not hurt. They jump out of the truck before it falls. They land on the bridge. They are scared and dirty. They hug each other. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry. We are sorry. We are sorry." + +The police car stops on the bridge. The police officer gets out. He is angry. He says, "What were you doing? You stole a truck. You broke the law. You endangered yourself and others. You could have been killed. You are in big trouble." + +Tom and Sue are very sad. They say, "We are sorry, officer. We made a mistake. We were foolish. We did not mean to steal. We did not mean to hurt anyone. We are sorry, sorry, sorry." + +The police officer is still angry. But he is also kind. He sees that Tom and Sue are young and scared. He says, "You are lucky that you are alive. You are lucky that I am not taking you to jail. You are lucky that I am taking you back to your parents. They will decide what to do with you. You should be grateful. And you should never, ever do this again. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sue nod. They say, "Yes, officer. We understand. We are grateful. We will never do this again. We promise. We promise. We promise." +Sara and Ben are twins. They live on a farm with their mom and dad. They like to help with the animals and the plants.

They want to play with cars and trucks. + +"Sorry, Lily, we are busy," Tim says. + +"Yes, we are busy," Sam says. + +They run to their room and close the door. They hide under the bed. They think Lily will go away. + +But Lily does not go away. She waits outside the door. She hears them giggle under the bed. She feels sad. She wants to play with them. She likes cars and trucks too. + +She knocks on the door again. She says, "Please, let me play with you. I have a car too. It is red and shiny. It is my favorite car.

They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big horse. The horse is brown and has a long tail. The horse is charming. + +"Can we ride the horse?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Let's ask the man," Ben says. + +They go to the man who has the horse. The man is nice. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want to ride the horse?" the man asks. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Okay, but you have to be careful. The horse is gentle, but he is also strong. Hold on to his mane and don't pull his ears," the man says. + +He helps Lily and Ben to get on the horse. Lily sits in front and Ben sits behind her. They hold on to the horse's mane. The horse walks slowly around the park. Lily and Ben feel happy. They like the horse. + +"Thank you, horse. You are charming," Lily says. She touches the horse's ear gently. + +The horse neighs. He likes Lily and Ben. He is happy, too. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved cookies. They always wanted to eat cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But their mom said no. She said cookies were only for special times, like after dinner or on birthdays. + +One day, Lily and Ben saw a big jar of cookies on the kitchen counter. They smelled so good. They looked so yummy. They wanted to have some right now. But their mom was in the living room, reading a book. How could they get the cookies without her seeing them? + +Lily had an idea. She whispered to Ben, "You go and talk to mom. Ask her to read you a story. I will sneak into the kitchen and get some cookies for us. Then we can share them in our room." + +Ben nodded. He liked Lily's idea. He went to the living room and said to mom, "Mom, can you read me a story? I want to hear about the princess and the dragon." + +Mom smiled. She loved reading stories to her children. She said, "Of course, Ben. Come here and sit on my lap. Let me get the book." + +While mom was busy looking for the book, Lily tiptoed into the kitchen. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar of cookies. She managed to open it and grab two cookies. One for her and one for Ben. She was very happy. She put the jar back and jumped off the chair. She ran to her room with the cookies in her hand. + +She found Ben waiting for her on his bed. He had a big smile on his face. He said, "Did you get the cookies, Lily?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I did. Here, take one. They are so good." + +They both bit into their cookies and made happy noises. They felt very proud of themselves. They thought they were very clever.

But she also decided to hide the jar of cookies in a higher place next time. +Lily and Sam are playing in the park. They see a big helicopter in the sky. It is red and white and makes a loud noise. + +"Wow, look at the helicopter!" Lily says. "It is so big and fast!" + +"I want to catch it!" Sam says. He runs after the helicopter, but it is too high and too far. He cannot catch it. + +"Sam, come back!" Lily calls. "You cannot catch the helicopter. It is not a toy.

They are sharp and can hurt your feet," Lily said, holding Tom's hand. + +They ran towards the wave, laughing and shouting. They jumped over it just in time, and felt the cool spray on their faces. + +"That was great!" Tom said, smiling. "Let's do it again!" + +"OK, but be careful. And listen to Mom and Dad. They will tell us when it's time to go home," Lily said, nodding. + +They played with the waves for a long time, until they heard Mom calling them. + +"Lily, Tom, come here!

One night, she wanted to sleep with her favorite doll, Rose, in her bed. She asked her mom if she could do that. + +"Of course, you can, Lily," her mom said. "But you have to put the other dolls back in the closet, okay? They need to sleep too." + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She went to her room and picked up Rose. She kissed her and said, "You are my best friend, Rose. I love you very much." She put the other dolls in the closet and closed the door. She climbed into her bed and tucked Rose under the blanket. + +She was about to fall asleep when she heard a noise from the closet. It sounded like someone was crying. She got scared and wondered who it was. She got out of bed and opened the closet door. She saw one of her dolls, Anna, sitting on the floor with tears in her eyes. + +"Why are you crying, Anna?" Lily asked. + +"Because you left me alone in the closet," Anna said. "You don't love me anymore. You only love Rose." + +Lily felt sorry for Anna. She realized that she had hurt her feelings.

Thank you, Lily. You are very polite and kind." + +Lily hugged Anna and said, "You're welcome, Anna. Come on, let's go to bed. We can all sleep together." She took Anna and Rose and went back to her bed. She put them on both sides of her and said, "Good night, my friends. I hope you have sweet dreams." + +The dolls said, "Good night, Lily. We love you too." They all snuggled together and fell asleep. +Tim and Liz were hungry. They wanted to eat some sausages for lunch. They went to the kitchen and saw a big pan on the stove. Inside the pan, there were four sausages sizzling and popping. + +"Can we have some, Mom?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. They are very hot," Mom said. She gave them each a plate and a fork. + +Tim and Liz took a sausage from the pan and put it on their plates. They tried to cut it with their forks, but it was too hard. They had to use their teeth to bite it. + +"Snap!" Tim's sausage broke in half. He smiled and chewed it. It was yummy. + +"Snap!" Liz's sausage broke in half, too. But she did not smile. She screamed and dropped it on the floor. + +"What's wrong, Liz?" Tim asked. + +"There's a bone in my sausage!" Liz cried. "It hurt my mouth!" + +Mom came over and looked at Liz's sausage. She saw a small white thing sticking out of it. + +"Oh, no. I'm sorry, Liz. That's not a bone. That's a tooth. A fierce dog must have bitten this sausage before we bought it," Mom said. + +"A dog? A fierce dog?" Liz and Tim said. + +"Yes, a fierce dog. Maybe it was hungry, too. But don't worry. It won't bite you. It's not here. It's gone," Mom said. + +She threw away the bad sausage and gave Liz a new one. She hugged her and kissed her cheek. + +"Are you okay, Liz?" Mom asked. + +Liz nodded. She felt better. She tried her new sausage. It was yummy, too. + +"Snap!" She broke it in half and shared it with Tim. + +They ate their sausages and smiled. They were not hungry anymore. They were happy. +Tom liked to be independent. He did not want to ask for help. He wanted to do everything by himself. He liked to wear his boots. They were big and brown and made him feel strong. + +One day, Tom saw a big puddle in the park. He wanted to jump in it. He did not care if his boots got wet. He ran to the puddle and jumped with both feet. He felt a splash and a squish. He smiled. + +But then he felt something wrong. His boots were stuck in the mud. He tried to pull them out, but they did not move. He tried to wiggle his feet, but they did not fit. He felt scared and cold. He started to cry. + +He looked around for his mom, but he did not see her. He had run too far from her. He had not listened to her when she told him to stay close. He wished he had asked for help. He wished he had not been so independent. He wished he had not jumped in the puddle. He wished he could get out of his boots. But he could not. He was stuck. +Ben is a shy boy. He does not like to talk to new people. He likes to play with his cars and his tie. His tie is red and blue and has cars on it. He wears it every day. + +One day, Ben goes to the park with his mom. He sees a girl on the swing. She has a yellow dress and a pink bow. She looks at Ben and smiles. Ben feels scared. He hides behind his mom. + +The girl gets off the swing and walks to Ben. She says, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?" Ben does not say anything. He holds his tie and looks down. + +Lily says, "I like your tie. It has cars on it. Do you like cars?" Ben nods. He likes cars a lot. He has many cars at home. + +Lily says, "Do you want to play with me? We can play with cars and swings and slides." Ben looks at his mom. His mom says, "It's okay, Ben. You can play with Lily. She is a nice girl. I will be here if you need me." + +Ben feels a little less scared. He likes Lily. She likes cars too. He says, "Okay. I am Ben. Let's play." He gives Lily his tie. She puts it on her bow. They look funny. They laugh and run to the slide. Ben is not shy anymore. He has a new friend. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big sack on the grass. They want to see what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They run to the sack and pull the string. The sack opens and a lot of balloons come out. The balloons are different colors and shapes. Tom and Lily are happy. They start to catch the balloons and throw them in the air. + +"Look, this one is a star!" Tom says, holding a yellow balloon. + +"And this one is a heart!" Lily says, holding a red balloon. + +They see a big balloon that looks like a giraffe. It has a long neck and spots. Tom and Lily want to play with it. + +"Can I have it?" Tom asks. + +"No, I want it!" Lily says. + +They both grab the balloon by the neck and pull. The balloon makes a loud noise and pops. Tom and Lily are surprised. They let go of the balloon and look at each other. + +They start to laugh. They think it is silly that they fought over a balloon. They hug and say sorry. + +"Let's share the other balloons!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Lily says. + +They play with the balloons until it is time to go home. They leave the sack on the grass for other children to find. They are happy and tired. They hold hands and walk with their mom. They had a fun day in the park. +Ben was a fisherman who liked to catch big fish. He had a boat and a net and a rod. He went to the sea every day and looked for fish. He was happy when he caught a lot of fish. + +One day, he saw another fisherman who had a bigger boat and a bigger net and a bigger rod. He also had a lot of big fish. Ben felt envious. He wanted to have what the other fisherman had. He said to himself, "I wish I had his boat and his net and his rod and his fish." + +He decided to follow the other fisherman and see where he went. He hoped to find his secret spot where he caught the big fish. He followed him for a long time, but he did not see him stop. He wondered where he was going. + +Finally, he saw the other fisherman stop at a small island. He saw him get off his boat and carry his fish to a hut. Ben thought, "This must be his home. Maybe he lives here alone with his fish. I will go and see." + +He parked his boat near the island and walked to the hut. He knocked on the door and said, "Hello, can I come in?" He heard a voice say, "Who are you? What do you want?" + +He opened the door and saw the other fisherman sitting on a chair. He saw his fish on a table. But they were not fresh and shiny. They were old and smelly. They had flies and worms on them. They were rotting. + +Ben felt sick. He said, "Why do you keep these fish? They are bad. They are not good to eat. They are not good for anything." + +The other fisherman looked at him and said, "These are my fish. I caught them with my boat and my net and my rod. They are mine. I do not want to share them with anyone. I do not want to sell them or give them away. I do not care if they rot. They are my treasure." + +Ben felt sorry for him. He said, "You are not happy. You are lonely and greedy. You do not have any friends or family. You do not have any fun or joy. You only have rotting fish. That is not a good life." + +He turned around and left the hut. He went back to his boat and sailed away. He thought, "I do not want to be like him. I do not want to be envious. I have enough. I have a good boat and a good net and a good rod. I have fresh and tasty fish. I have friends and family who love me. I have fun and joy. I have a good life." +Ben and Mia were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They looked at their books, but they did not want to read them. They looked at their mom, but she was busy on the phone. + +"Let's go outside," Ben said. + +"OK," Mia said. + +They put on their shoes and coats and went to the backyard. They saw a big tree with red and yellow leaves. They saw a swing and a slide. They saw a ball and a bike. They saw a lot of things to do. + +"Let's grab the ball and play catch," Ben said. + +"OK," Mia said. + +They grabbed the ball and threw it to each other. They had fun. They laughed and ran. They did not feel bored anymore. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a growl. It was a scary noise. It came from behind the fence. They stopped playing and looked at each other. + +"What is that?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know," Mia said. + +They were afraid. They wanted to go back inside. They dropped the ball and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They forgot to take the key. They knocked and shouted. + +"Mom, mom, let us in!" Ben said. + +"Mom, mom, there is a noise!" Mia said. + +But mom did not hear them. She was still on the phone. She did not know they were outside. She did not know they were scared. + +They did not know what to do. They hugged each other and waited. They hoped the noise would go away. They hoped mom would come soon. They hoped it was not a monster. +Tom is a hero. He likes to help people and animals. He wears a red cape and a mask. He runs fast and jumps high. He is very healthy and strong. + +One day, he sees a cat stuck in a tree. The cat is scared and meows. Tom runs to the tree and climbs up. He grabs the cat and puts it in his arms. He says, "Don't worry, cat. I will save you." + +He slides down the tree and gives the cat to a girl. The girl is happy and hugs the cat. She says, "Thank you, hero. You are very kind and brave." + +Tom smiles and says, "You're welcome, girl. I'm glad you have your cat back." + +He waves goodbye and runs away. He sees a bus coming. He changes his cape and mask for a hat and a backpack. He is not a hero anymore. He is a boy. He gets on the bus and goes to school. He likes to learn new things and play with his friends. He is a good boy. He is happy. +Tim was a gifted boy. He could jump very high and far. He liked to jump over rocks and logs and fences. He wanted to jump over the lake. + +One day, he went to the lake with his mom and dad. They had a picnic and played with a ball. Tim saw the lake and thought it was very big and blue. He wanted to jump over it and see what was on the other side. + +He ran to the edge of the lake and jumped as hard as he could. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He was flying over the lake. He was happy. + +But then he saw that the lake was too big. He could not jump over it. He was falling into the water. He was scared. + +His mom and dad saw him and ran to the lake. They jumped into the water and swam to him. They grabbed him and pulled him out. They hugged him and kissed him. They were glad he was safe. + +They told him that he was very gifted, but he should not jump over the lake. It was too dangerous. He could get hurt or drown. He should only jump over things that were small and safe. + +Tim said he was sorry. He did not know the lake was so big and deep. He was curious and wanted to see more. He thanked his mom and dad for saving him. He said he loved them. + +They said they loved him too. They dried him off and gave him a towel. They said he could still jump, but only on the land. They said they would show him more things to jump over, like hills and bridges and streams. + +Tim smiled and nodded. He was still a gifted boy. He could still jump very high and far. He liked to jump over things, but he learned his lesson. He would not jump over the lake again. +Anna and Ben love to watch movies with their mom and dad. They always make popcorn before the movie starts. Popcorn is their favorite snack. It is crunchy and salty and yummy. + +One day, they wanted to watch a new movie about a princess and a dragon. They asked their mom to supply them with popcorn. Mom said yes, but she told them to be careful. The popcorn was very delicate. It could break easily if they squeezed it too hard. + +Anna and Ben nodded and took their popcorn bowls. They went to the couch and waited for the movie to start. They were very excited. They wanted to see the princess and the dragon. + +But then, Ben saw something shiny on the table. It was a necklace that mom had made. It had beads and flowers and sparkles. Ben thought it was pretty. He wanted to try it on. He put his popcorn bowl down and reached for the necklace. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" Anna asked. She saw Ben with the necklace. She knew it was mom's. She knew mom would be mad if Ben touched it. + +"I just want to see how it looks," Ben said. He put the necklace around his neck. He smiled. He felt like a prince. + +But then, he heard a loud pop. He looked down. He saw that he had squeezed his popcorn bowl too hard. The popcorn had broken and spilled all over the floor. + +"Oh no!" Ben said. He dropped the necklace and tried to pick up the popcorn. But it was too late. Mom and dad came into the room. They saw the mess. They saw the necklace. They were not happy. + +"Ben, what did you do?" mom asked. She took the necklace from the floor. She saw that some of the beads had fallen off. She was sad. She had worked hard to make the necklace. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Ben said. He felt bad. He knew he had made a mistake. He had not listened to mom. He had not been careful with the popcorn. + +"It's okay, Ben," mom said. She hugged him. She was not angry. She knew Ben was still learning. She knew he loved her. "But next time, please ask before you touch something that is not yours. And please be gentle with the popcorn. It is delicate, just like the necklace." + +"I will, mom," Ben said. He hugged her back. He said sorry to dad too. He said sorry to Anna too. He helped them clean up the popcorn. Then they all sat on the couch and watched the movie. They shared the popcorn that was left. They enjoyed the movie. They learned a lesson. They loved each other. +Sam and Lily were going to visit their grandma. They were very happy because they loved grandma and she had a big garden with many flowers and birds. Mom told them to pack their bags with clothes and toys. + +Sam ran to his room and packed his bag very fast. He put in his favorite shirt, his pajamas, his teddy bear and his car. He did not forget his toothbrush and his comb. He zipped his bag and said, "I am ready, Mom!" + +Lily walked to her room and packed her bag very slowly. She wanted to take everything with her. She put in her dress, her skirt, her sweater, her doll, her book, her crayons and her hat. She tried to zip her bag, but it was too full. She said, "I need a bigger bag, Mom!" + +Mom came to help Lily. She said, "You cannot take everything, Lily. You only need a few things for grandma's house. Let's take out some things and leave them here. You can play with them when you come back." + +Lily nodded and took out some things from her bag. She left her book, her crayons and her hat. She zipped her bag and said, "Now I am ready, Mom!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Good job, Lily. Now let's go to the bathroom and wash our hands and faces. Then we can go to the car and drive to grandma's house." + +Sam and Lily went to the bathroom and washed their hands and faces. They looked at themselves in the mirror and said, "We are lucky. We are going to see grandma!" +Anna and Ben were twins who lived in a big cabin with their parents. They were very wealthy and had many toys and clothes and books. But they were not happy. They always fought with each other and never shared anything. They did not have any friends to play with. + +One day, their parents told them they were going on a trip to the city and they had to stay with their grandma in a small cabin in the woods. Anna and Ben did not like this idea. They did not want to leave their big cabin and their toys and clothes and books. They did not want to stay with their grandma who was old and boring. + +When they arrived at the small cabin, they saw that it was very different from their big cabin. It was cozy and warm, but it had only one room and a few things. Their grandma greeted them with a hug and a smile and told them to make themselves at home. She said she had a surprise for them after dinner. + +Anna and Ben were curious about the surprise, but they did not say thank you to their grandma. They just complained about the small cabin and the simple food and the lack of toys and clothes and books. They said they wanted to go back to their big cabin. + +Their grandma did not get angry. She just said, "You will see, my dears, that happiness is not in things, but in people and in love." She then took them to the backyard, where she had set up a bonfire and a radio. She said, "This is the surprise. We are going to dance and sing and have fun under the stars. Come on, join me!" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and then at their grandma, who was already dancing and singing along to the music. They saw that she was happy and joyful, even though she had so little. They felt ashamed of their selfishness and rudeness. They decided to give the surprise a try. They joined their grandma and started to dance and sing with her. They felt a warmth in their hearts that they had never felt before. They realized that their grandma was right. Happiness was not in things, but in people and in love. + +They hugged their grandma and said, "We are sorry, grandma. We were wrong. We love you and we love this cabin. Thank you for the surprise. It is the best one ever." Their grandma hugged them back and said, "I love you too, my dears. And I am glad you learned a valuable lesson. Now let's keep dancing and having fun." And they did. And they were happy. +Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Rex. Rex is a big, brown dog. He is very friendly and likes to run and jump. + +One day, they see an old man walking with a cane. The cane is black and shiny. The old man walks very slowly and carefully. He looks sad and tired. + +"Hello, sir," Sam says. "Do you want to play with us and Rex?" + +The old man stops and smiles. He notices Sam and Mia's bright eyes and happy faces. He also notices Rex's wagging tail and fluffy fur. + +"Hello, children," he says. "You are very kind, but I can't play with you. My legs are not strong and my cane helps me walk. I have to go home and rest." + +Mia feels sorry for the old man. She thinks he is lonely and bored. She has an idea. + +"Sir, can we give you a hug?" she asks. "Hugs make us feel better when we are sad or tired." + +The old man nods and bends down. Sam and Mia run to him and wrap their arms around him. Rex also comes and licks his hand. The old man feels warm and happy. He hugs them back and thanks them. + +"You are very sweet, children," he says. "You made my day brighter. You are very tough and brave, too. You are not afraid of strangers or canes." + +Sam and Mia giggle. They are not afraid. They are curious and friendly. They like to make new friends. + +"Can we see you again, sir?" Sam asks. "We can bring you some cookies or a book or a toy." + +The old man smiles and nods. He likes cookies and books and toys. He also likes Sam and Mia and Rex. + +"Of course, children," he says. "I would love to see you again. You can come to my house anytime. It is not far from here. Just follow the yellow flowers." + +He points to a row of bright flowers along the sidewalk. They lead to a small, cozy house with a blue door. + +"OK, sir," Mia says. "We will come soon. Bye-bye!" + +"Bye-bye, children," the old man says. "Bye-bye, Rex!" + +He waves and walks away with his cane. Sam and Mia wave back and run to their mom. Rex follows them and barks. They tell their mom about the old man and the yellow flowers. Their mom smiles and hugs them. She is proud of them. They are very good and nice. They made a new friend. +Lily wanted to make a card for her mom. She found some paper, scissors and glue on the shelf in her room. She cut the paper into a heart shape and glued some stickers on it. She wrote "I love you Mom" with a crayon. + +She was very proud of her card and wanted to show it to her mom. She ran downstairs and looked for her mom in the kitchen. She saw her mom washing some dishes. + +"Mom, look what I made for you!" Lily said, holding up her card. + +Her mom turned around and smiled. She dried her hands and took the card from Lily. She hugged her and said, "Thank you, Lily. This is a very beautiful card. You are very sweet and clever." + +Lily beamed and said, "You're welcome, Mom. I love you very much." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Where did you get the paper and scissors?" + +Lily said, "I got them from the shelf in my room. Why?" + +Her mom said, "Well, Lily, those were not your paper and scissors. They were mine. They were very expensive. I bought them for a special project. You should not cut them without asking me first." + +Lily felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to make you a card." + +Her mom said, "I understand, Lily. And I appreciate your card. But next time, please ask me before you use my things. Okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry. Can I still give you the card?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. The card is very precious to me. Thank you for making it. Now, let's go and put it on the fridge, so we can see it every day." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a trunk. The trunk was full of toys and books. Anna and Ben wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open the trunk and take some toys," Anna said. + +"No, we can't do that. That's not ours. That's bad," Ben said. + +But Anna did not listen. She ran to the truck and tried to open the trunk. She pulled and pulled, but it was locked. + +"Help me, Ben. I want to see the toys," Anna said. + +Ben did not want to help. He was scared. He saw a man coming out of the park office. The man was the owner of the truck. He looked angry. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my trunk?" the man shouted. + +He walked towards Anna and Ben. He had a big stick in his hand. He looked scary. + +Anna was scared too. She let go of the trunk and ran to Ben. + +"Sorry, mister. We were just curious. We didn't mean to hurt your trunk," Ben said. + +The man reached them and raised his stick. He was about to hit them. + +"Stop! Don't hurt them!" a voice said. + +It was their mom. She had seen everything from the bench. She ran to the man and stopped him. + +"Please, don't be angry. They are just little kids. They don't know better. They were just curious. Please, don't hit them," she said. + +The man looked at her and then at the kids. He lowered his stick. He sighed. + +"Fine. I won't hit them. But they have to learn to respect other people's things. They can't just demand to open other people's trunks. That's rude and dangerous. What if there was something sharp or heavy or hot in there? They could have hurt themselves or me or my trunk," he said. + +He opened his trunk and showed them what was inside. There were toys and books, but also tools and wires and cans and bottles. + +"See? These are not just toys and books. These are things I need for my work. I fix things in the park. I need these things to do my job. You can't just take them or play with them. They are not for you. They are for me," he said. + +Anna and Ben looked at the things in the trunk. They felt sorry. They did not know they were not just toys and books. They did not know they were not for them. They did not know they were for him. + +"Sorry, mister. We didn't know. We won't do it again. We won't touch your trunk or your things. We promise," they said. + +The man nodded. He closed his trunk and locked it. He smiled. + +"Okay. I forgive you. But remember, next time you see something that is not yours, don't touch it. Don't demand to open it. Ask first. Maybe the owner will let you see it or share it with you. Maybe not. But you have to respect their choice. That's the right thing to do. Understand?" he said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They understood. They thanked the man and their mom. They hugged their mom and said sorry to her too. They learned their lesson. They never touched other people's trunks again. +Ben and Lily liked to play with shapes. They had a big box of shapes that they could make into anything they wanted. Ben liked to make cars and planes. Lily liked to make houses and flowers. + +One day, they had a big fight. Ben wanted to use all the red shapes for his car. Lily wanted to use some of the red shapes for her house. They both pulled and pushed the shapes. They both shouted at each other. + +"Give me the red shapes! They are mine!" Ben shouted. + +"No, they are not! I need them too!" Lily shouted. + +They shouted so loud that their mom heard them. She came into the room and saw the mess. She saw the poor shapes on the floor. She saw the angry faces of Ben and Lily. She was not happy. + +"Stop shouting, both of you!" she said. "You have to share the shapes. They are not yours or mine. They are ours. You can both use them to make nice things. But you have to be kind and gentle with them and with each other." + +She helped them pick up the shapes and put them back in the box. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She told them to say sorry to each other. Ben and Lily felt bad for shouting. They said sorry and gave each other a hug. They decided to make something together with the shapes. They made a big rocket with red and blue and yellow and green shapes. They smiled and laughed and had fun. They were happy again. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, they saw a big red truck outside their house. It had a sign that said "Deliver". They wanted to see what was inside the truck. + +They ran to the truck and opened the door. They saw many boxes with numbers on them. They thought they were presents. They took one box each and ran back to their house. + +"Look, Sam, I have number 7!" Tom said. + +"I have number 9!" Sam said. + +They opened the boxes and found toys inside. They were very happy and started to play with them. + +But then, they heard a loud voice outside. It was the truck driver. He was very angry. He saw that some of his boxes were missing. He followed the trail of paper and tape to Tom and Sam's house. He knocked on the door. + +"Who took my boxes?" he shouted. + +Tom and Sam were scared. They hid under the bed with their toys. + +Their mom opened the door and saw the truck driver. He showed her his sign and his boxes. + +"Did you see who took these?" he asked. + +She looked at the boxes and saw the numbers. She remembered that Tom and Sam had the same numbers on their toys. She realized what they had done. + +She felt very sorry and ashamed. She called Tom and Sam to come out. They came out slowly and saw the truck driver. They knew they were in trouble. + +They gave back the toys and the boxes to the truck driver. He was still angry, but he took them and left. + +Their mom was very sad and disappointed. She told them that they had done a very bad thing. They had stolen from someone who was working hard to deliver things to other people. They had made him lose his time and money. They had been very naughty and selfish. + +She said that they had to say sorry to the truck driver and to her. She said that they had to go to their room and think about what they had done. She said that they could not play with any toys for a week. + +Tom and Sam felt very sorry and ashamed. They said sorry to the truck driver and to their mom. They went to their room and cried. They wished they had never taken the boxes. They wished they had been good boys. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new girl on the swing. She has long hair and a pink dress. + +"Who is she?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Let's go and say hello," Ben says. + +They walk to the swing and smile at the new girl. + +"Hi, I'm Lily and this is Ben. What's your name?" Lily says. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. I just moved here with my family," Anna says. + +"Where did you move from?" Ben asks. + +"I moved from China. It's very far away," Anna says. + +"Wow, that's cool. Do you like it here?" Lily asks. + +"It's nice, but I miss my friends and my home. And I miss my favorite food, rice," Anna says. + +"Rice? What is rice?" Ben asks. + +"Rice is a white food that you eat with a spoon or chopsticks. It's yummy and filling," Anna says. + +"I like rice too. My mom makes rice sometimes. She puts chicken and carrots and peas in it," Lily says. + +"That sounds good. My mom makes rice with different things too. She puts soy sauce and eggs and scallions in it," Anna says. + +"Can we try your rice sometime?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, you can come to my house and have rice with me. I can introduce you to my mom and dad and my little brother," Anna says. + +"Yay, that would be fun. Thank you, Anna," Lily and Ben say. + +They become friends and play on the swing together. They are happy and hungry. They can't wait to try Anna's rice. + +The end. +Sara and Tom are playing hide and seek in the park. Sara is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Tom runs to a big tree and hides behind it. He covers his mouth with his hand so Sara cannot hear him. + +"Ready or not, here I come!" Sara shouts. She looks around the park and tries to find Tom. She sees a swing, a slide, a bench, but no Tom. She walks closer to the big tree and hears a small noise. + +"Is that you, Tom?" Sara asks. She peeks behind the tree and sees Tom's face. He smiles and says, "You found me!" + +Sara laughs and says, "Yes, I did! You are a good hider, Tom. But you should be more careful with your voice. I heard you make a noise." + +Tom says, "Oh, I'm sorry. I was trying to be quiet. But I sneezed. I think I'm sick." + +Sara says, "Oh no, Tom. You should go home and rest. You don't want to get worse. Come on, I'll walk with you." + +Tom says, "OK, Sara. Thank you. You are a good friend." + +Sara and Tom hold hands and walk to Tom's house. They say goodbye and Tom goes inside. Sara goes back to the park and plays by herself. + +The next day, Sara goes to Tom's house to see how he is. She knocks on the door, but no one answers. She sees a note on the door. It says, "Tom is in the hospital. He has a bad fever. He might not get better. Please pray for him." + +Sara feels very sad and scared. She cries and runs away. She wishes she had not played with Tom. She wishes she had not found him. She wishes he was not sick. She wishes he was still her friend. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They are building a big tower with many colors. Lily likes to move the blocks with her hands and stack them high. Ben likes to move the blocks with his mouth and chew them softly. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily says. "You are making the blocks messy with your mouth. They are not food. They are toys." + +Ben looks at Lily and smiles. He has a block in his mouth and some drool on his chin. He thinks the blocks are tasty and fun. He does not want to stop. + +"No, Lily," he says. "I like the blocks. They are yummy and chewy. They are food and toys." + +Lily shakes her head. She does not like the blocks in Ben's mouth. She thinks they are dirty and gross. She wants to keep them clean and neat. + +"Ben, please," she says. "Give me the block. You can have this one." She holds out a different block for Ben. It is yellow and round. + +Ben looks at the yellow block. He does not like it. It is not as good as the block in his mouth. It is boring and smooth. + +"No, Lily," he says. "I want this one." He points to the block in his mouth. It is blue and square. + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They both want the blue block. They pull and tug on it. They make loud noises with their mouths. They are not happy. + +Mom hears the noise from the kitchen. She comes to the living room. She sees Lily and Ben fighting over the block. She sees the messy blocks on the floor. She is not happy. + +"Lily, Ben, stop!" she says. "What are you doing? You are making a big mess with the blocks. You are not sharing. You are not being nice." + +Lily and Ben stop. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. They know they did something wrong. + +"Sorry, Mom," they say. "We were playing with the blocks. We wanted the same one. We did not share. We did not be nice." + +Mom nods. She understands. She knows they are still learning. She wants to help them. + +"It's okay," she says. "But you need to learn how to play with the blocks. You need to move them with your hands, not your mouth. You need to keep them clean, not messy. You need to share them, not fight over them. You need to be nice, not loud." + +Lily and Ben listen to Mom. They want to play with the blocks the right way. They want to make Mom happy. + +"Okay, Mom," they say. "We will move them with our hands. We will keep them clean. We will share them. We will be nice." + +Mom smiles. She is happy. She gives Lily and Ben a hug. She helps them pick up the blocks. She shows them how to build a bigger tower with many colors. They all play together. They have fun. +Timmy liked to play with his cat, Fluffy. Fluffy was a lucky cat, because he had a nice home, a soft bed, and a lot of toys. Fluffy also liked to play with Timmy, but sometimes he wanted to go outside and explore. + +One day, Timmy asked his mom if he could take Fluffy outside. His mom said no, because it was cold and wet, and there were cars and dogs that could hurt Fluffy. She said Fluffy was safer and happier inside. Timmy was sad, but he obeyed his mom. He played with Fluffy in his room, and gave him a treat. + +But Fluffy was curious. He saw a bird on the window, and he wanted to chase it. He saw a gap under the door, and he wanted to sneak out. He waited until Timmy was busy with his blocks, and then he ran to the door. He pushed his head under the gap, and then his body. He was free! + +Fluffy ran down the stairs, and out the front door. He saw the bird, and he ran after it. He did not see the car, or hear the horn. He did not see Timmy's mom, or hear her scream. He only saw the bird, and he felt lucky. + +But he was not lucky. The car hit him, and he felt pain. He flew in the air, and he landed on the grass. He did not move, or breathe. He was gone. + +Timmy heard the noise, and he ran to the window. He saw Fluffy, and he cried. He ran to his mom, and she hugged him. She said she was sorry, and that Fluffy was a good cat. She said they would bury him in the garden, and plant a flower for him. She said Fluffy was in a better place, where he could chase all the birds he wanted. She said she loved him, and Timmy. + +Timmy was sad, but he loved his mom. He said he was sorry, and that he missed Fluffy. He said he would never permit his cat to go outside again. He said he would be a good boy, and take care of his toys. He said he loved her, and Fluffy. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play near the sea. They would run on the sand, make castles, and look for shells. But their mom always told them not to go too close to the water, because it was deep and dangerous. + +One day, Tom saw a big shiny shell on the shore. He wanted to have it for his collection. He ran towards it, but Sam stopped him. + +"Mom said not to go there," Sam said. "The water can take you away." + +Tom did not listen. He was persistent. He wanted the shell. He said to Sam, "I dare you to come with me. Don't be scared. It's just a little water." + +Sam was scared, but he did not want to look weak. He followed Tom to the shore. They reached the shell, but then they heard a loud noise. It was a big wave coming towards them. They tried to run back, but it was too late. The wave swept them off their feet and dragged them into the sea. + +They screamed for help, but no one heard them. They were alone and afraid. They wished they had listened to their mom. + +Luckily, a fisherman saw them and threw them a rope. He pulled them into his boat and took them back to the beach. Their mom was waiting for them, very worried and angry. She hugged them and scolded them. + +"You were very foolish and disobedient," she said. "You could have drowned. You should never dare to do something that is dangerous or wrong. You should always respect the rules and the sea." + +Tom and Sam felt ashamed and sorry. They learned their lesson. They thanked the fisherman and their mom. They promised to never go near the water again without permission. They realized that being persistent is good, but only when it is for something good. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. Sometimes they go into the water, but not too far. The ocean is big and noisy. It makes waves that splash and roar. + +One day, Tom and Lily see a boat on the ocean. It is white and red. It has a sail and a flag. They think it is pretty. They want to go closer and see it. + +"Let's swim to the boat!" Tom says. + +"No, Tom, it is too far. We have to remain here. Mom and Dad said so." Lily says. + +"But I want to see the boat. Maybe there are pirates on it. Maybe they have treasure. Come on, Lily, it will be fun." Tom says. + +He does not listen to Lily. He runs into the water and swims towards the boat. Lily is scared. She calls for Tom to come back. But Tom does not hear her. He only hears the ocean. + +Lily runs to Mom and Dad. She tells them what Tom did. They are worried. They look for Tom. They see him in the water. He is far from the shore. He is tired and scared. He waves his arms and cries for help. + +Mom and Dad call for the lifeguard. The lifeguard has a big orange float. He swims to Tom and grabs him. He brings him back to the shore. Tom is wet and cold. He is sorry. He hugs Mom and Dad and Lily. He says he will not swim to the boat again. He says he will remain with them. They are happy. They give him a towel and a hug. They tell him they love him. They tell him to be careful. The ocean is big and noisy. It can be dangerous. But it can also be beautiful. They look at the boat. It is still there. It is white and red. It has a sail and a flag. They think it is pretty. But they are happier to be together. +Tom was a curious boy who liked to explore new things. One day, he saw his mom cook something in a big pot on the stove. He wanted to know what it was, so he climbed on a chair and peeked inside. He saw some red sauce and some round things that looked like balls. + +"Mom, what are you cooking?" he asked. + +"I'm cooking spaghetti and meatballs, Tom. It's your favorite. Do you want to help me?" his mom said. + +"Yes, please!" Tom said. He loved to help his mom cook. His mom gave him a spoon and a bowl and showed him how to stir the sauce and roll the meatballs. Tom had fun making the meatballs, but he also made a mess. He got sauce on his face and hands and shirt. + +"Oops, you're all dirty, Tom. Let's clean you up before we eat," his mom said. She took him to the sink and washed his face and hands. Then she gave him a clean shirt and a napkin. + +"Thank you, mom. You're the best," Tom said. He hugged his mom and ran to the table. He was hungry and excited to eat the spaghetti and meatballs. + +But before he could sit down, he saw something shiny on the floor. It was his dad's helmet. His dad was a firefighter and he wore the helmet when he went to work. Tom was curious about the helmet. He wanted to try it on and see how it felt. He picked it up and put it on his head. It was big and heavy and covered his eyes. + +"Look, mom, I'm a firefighter!" he shouted. + +His mom turned around and saw him. She smiled and laughed. + +"You're a very cute firefighter, Tom. But be careful, the helmet is not a toy. It's for your dad's safety. Let me help you take it off," she said. + +She lifted the helmet off his head and put it back on the floor. She kissed his forehead and said, "Now, let's eat. The spaghetti and meatballs are ready. And after we eat, we can read a book about firefighters. How does that sound?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He was happy. He liked to cook and he liked to pretend, but he also liked to eat and read with his mom. He thought his mom was the best cook and the best storyteller in the world. +Sara and Tom are going to the mall with Mom. They like the mall. There are many toys and books and clothes. They can play and look and touch. + +"Can we go to the toy store, Mom?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, we can, but we have to hurry. The mall is going to close soon. It is getting dark outside," Mom says. + +They walk fast to the toy store. Tom sees a big truck. He wants the truck. He grabs the truck and runs to Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, look! I want this truck. It is big and red and loud. It is easy to drive. Please, Mom, please!" Tom says. + +Mom looks at the truck. It is very expensive. She shakes her head. + +"Tom, we cannot buy this truck. It is too much money. We have to put it back. Maybe you can ask Santa for it," Mom says. + +Tom is sad. He does not want to put the truck back. He cries and kicks and screams. + +"Tom, stop that. You are being naughty. You have to share the toys with other kids. You have to listen to Mom. Come on, we have to go. The mall is closing," Mom says. + +She takes the truck from Tom and puts it back on the shelf. She holds Tom's hand and Sara's hand. They walk to the exit. The mall is closing. The lights are turning off. The doors are locking. + +"Bye, mall. See you next time," Sara says. + +Tom is still crying. He wants the truck. He does not say bye to the mall. He is not happy. Mom hugs him and Sara. + +"Tom, I know you are sad, but you have to be good. Maybe you will get the truck for Christmas. You have to be patient and kind. I love you and Sara very much. Let's go home and have some cookies and milk," Mom says. + +Tom stops crying. He loves Mom and Sara and cookies and milk. He nods and smiles. + +"Okay, Mom. I love you too. And I love Sara. And I love cookies and milk. Can we read a story too?" Tom says. + +Mom smiles and kisses him and Sara. + +"Of course we can. We can read your favorite story. The one with the bear and the honey. How does that sound?" Mom says. + +Sara and Tom clap and cheer. + +"Yay! That sounds great! We love that story. It is funny and easy and fun. Let's go home, Mom. Let's go home," Sara and Tom say. + +They get in the car and drive home. They are happy. They had a good day at the mall. They are a good family. The end. +One day, Lily and Tom wanted to go for a walk. They put on their boots and coats and went outside. It was a rainy day, and there was a lot of mud on the ground. Lily and Tom liked to splash in the mud and make funny noises. + +They saw a big puddle of mud near a tree. They ran to the puddle and jumped in. They felt something soft and squishy under their feet. They looked down and saw a lot of worms in the mud. The worms were wiggling and wriggling. Lily and Tom were surprised and curious. + +They picked up some worms and looked at them. They saw that the worms had different colors and sizes. Some were long and thin, some were short and fat, some were red, some were brown, some were green. Lily and Tom thought the worms were unique and interesting. They decided to make friends with the worms and give them names. + +They put the worms in a bucket and carried them home. They showed the worms to their mom and dad. They told them about their walk and their new friends. Mom and dad smiled and said they were proud of Lily and Tom for being brave and kind. They helped them make a home for the worms in the garden. Lily and Tom were happy and hugged the worms. They said they would visit them every day and play with them in the mud. +Anna and Ben were helping Mom to clean the house for Christmas. They liked to dust the shelves and wipe the windows. Mom said they were very good helpers. + +"Look, Mom, I found a box of ornaments!" Ben said, holding a big cardboard box. He opened it and saw many shiny and colorful things inside. "Can we put them on the tree?" + +"Yes, of course, but be careful. Some of them are very old and fragile. They belonged to Grandma and Grandpa," Mom said, smiling. She took out a glass ball that was light blue and had snowflakes on it. "This one is my favorite. It reminds me of winter." + +Anna reached for the ball, but Ben pulled it away. "No, I want it! It's pretty!" he said, holding it tight. + +"Hey, give it to me! It's not fair!" Anna said, trying to grab it back. + +They started to tug and pull on the ball, making it swing and bounce. Mom saw them and shouted, "Stop! You'll break it!" + +But it was too late. The ball slipped from their hands and fell to the floor. It shattered into many pieces, making a loud noise. Anna and Ben gasped and looked at Mom with scared faces. + +Mom sighed and knelt down to pick up the pieces. She was sad and angry, but she did not yell at them. She said, "I'm very disappointed in you. You were not careful with the ornament. You were not nice to each other. You ruined something that was very special to me. How do you think that makes me feel?" + +Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they had done something bad. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We didn't mean to break it. We just wanted to see it." + +Mom nodded and hugged them. She said, "I know you didn't mean to, but you have to learn to share and respect other people's things. And you have to be gentle with the ornaments. They are not toys. They are decorations that make the tree look beautiful and happy. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We'll be more careful and nice next time." + +Mom smiled and said, "Thank you. I love you both. Now, let's finish cleaning and then we can decorate the tree together. Maybe we can find another ornament that you both like." + +Anna and Ben smiled and said, "Okay, Mom. We love you too. Let's clean and decorate!" They followed Mom to the living room, where the tree was waiting for them. They hoped to find another light ornament that would make Mom happy. +Ben likes to read books. He has many books in his room. He has books about animals, cars, and space. He reads a book every evening before he sleeps. + +One evening, he picks a book with a yellow cover. The book is about a yellow duck. The duck lives on a farm with other animals. The duck likes to swim in the pond and quack loudly. + +Ben opens the book and starts to read. He sees pictures of the duck and the farm. He reads the words under the pictures. He likes the book. He smiles and laughs. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" he says, pretending to be the duck. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" his mom asks, coming to his room. She sees him holding the book. + +"I'm reading a book, mom. It's about a yellow duck. The duck is funny. Look!" he says, showing her the book. + +"That's a nice book, Ben. I'm glad you like to read. Reading is fun and good for you. But it's time to sleep now. Say good night to the duck and put the book away," his mom says, giving him a hug and a kiss. + +"Good night, duck. Quack, quack, quack!" Ben says, closing the book and putting it on his shelf. He snuggles under his blanket and turns off his lamp. + +"Good night, Ben. I love you," his mom says, leaving his room. + +Ben closes his eyes and dreams of the yellow duck and the farm. He is happy. +Ben was sick. He had a fever and a sore throat. He did not want to eat or play. He only wanted to lie in bed and watch TV. His mom was worried. She called the doctor. + +The doctor came to Ben's house. He had a bag with tools. He checked Ben's ears, nose, mouth and chest. He said, "Ben, you have a bad cold. You need to take this medicine and drink a lot of water. You will feel better soon." + +Ben did not like the medicine. It was bitter and made him cough. He said, "No, no, no! I don't want it! It's yucky!" He pushed the spoon away and cried. + +His mom was upset. She said, "Ben, you have to take the medicine. It will help you get well. Please be patient. It's only for a few days." + +The doctor was kind. He said, "Ben, I know you don't like the medicine. But it's good for you. How about this? If you take the medicine, I will give you a sticker. You can choose any sticker you want from my bag. Do you like stickers?" + +Ben nodded. He liked stickers. He liked cars and animals and stars. He said, "OK, I will take the medicine. But only if I can have a sticker." + +The doctor smiled. He said, "Deal. Here you go. Take a sip of the medicine and then you can have a sticker." + +Ben took a sip of the medicine. He made a face and swallowed. He said, "Blech! It's still yucky!" + +The doctor said, "I know, I know. But you did a great job. Now, you can have a sticker. Which one do you want?" + +Ben looked at the bag. He saw many stickers. He saw a red car, a blue whale, a yellow star. He said, "I want the star. It's shiny and pretty." + +The doctor said, "Good choice. Here you go. You can put it on your shirt or your book or your wall. Wherever you want." + +Ben received the sticker. He was happy. He said, "Thank you, doctor. You are nice." + +The doctor said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are brave. I hope you feel better soon. Bye-bye." + +The doctor left. Ben put the sticker on his shirt. He said, "Mom, look at my sticker. It's a star. I like it." + +His mom said, "I see it, Ben. It's beautiful. I'm proud of you. You took the medicine and you were patient. You are a star." She hugged him and kissed him. + +Ben smiled. He said, "I love you, mom. You are a star too." +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and climb. One day, they see a new equipment in the park. It is a big purple net. It looks fun and hard. + +"Let's try it!" Anna says. She runs to the net and starts to climb. She is fast and strong. She reaches the top and smiles. + +"Come on, Ben!" she calls. "You can do it!" + +Ben runs to the net too. He wants to climb like Anna. But he is not fast and strong. He is slow and small. He struggles to find a good place to hold. He slips and falls. He tries again and again. He gets tired and sad. + +"I can't do it!" he cries. "It is too hard for me!" + +Anna hears Ben cry. She climbs down the net. She goes to Ben and hugs him. + +"It is okay, Ben," she says. "You don't have to do it if you don't want to. You can do other things. You are good at swinging and sliding. You are my friend and I love you." + +Ben stops crying. He hugs Anna back. + +"Thank you, Anna," he says. "You are my friend and I love you too. Let's go swing and slide together." + +They hold hands and run to the swings and slides. They play and laugh. They have fun in the park. They are happy. +Anna likes to write. She has a book with many pages. She writes with a crayon. She writes her name, and her cat's name, and her mom's name. She writes what she sees, and what she dreams, and what she feels. She writes every day. + +Anna has a secret. She does not show her book to anyone. She hides it under her pillow. She thinks her book is special. She thinks her book is magic. She thinks her book can make her wishes come true. + +One night, Anna is very sleepy. She writes in her book before she goes to bed. She writes, "I wish I could fly." She puts her book under her pillow. She closes her eyes. She falls asleep. + +Anna has a dream. She is flying in the sky. She sees the stars, and the moon, and the clouds. She feels the wind, and the cold, and the freedom. She is happy. She is amazed. She is flying. + +Anna wakes up. She remembers her dream. She smiles. She thinks her book is magic. She thinks her book made her wish come true. She hugs her book. She keeps her secret. She likes to write. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms, snails, or beetles. They put them in a jar and watched them move. + +One day, they found something different. It was shiny and round and had strange marks on it. Lila picked it up and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, what is this?" she asked. + +"I don't know, Lila. It looks mysterious. Maybe it is a treasure or a magic thing," Tom said. + +They decided to take it inside and show it to their mom. They ran to the house, holding the shiny thing. They forgot to wipe their feet and left muddy tracks on the floor. + +Their mom was not happy. She saw the mess and the shiny thing in Lila's hand. + +"What are you doing, Lila and Tom? You are dirty and you brought this dirty thing inside. Where did you find it?" she asked. + +"We found it in the garden, mom. It is mysterious. We want to know what it is," Lila said. + +"Well, first you need to clean yourselves and the thing. Go to the bathroom and wash your hands and face. Then use this towel to rub the thing and see if it becomes clean," mom said. + +She gave them a towel and sent them to the bathroom. Lila and Tom did as they were told. They washed their hands and face and then used the towel to rub the shiny thing. As they rubbed, they saw the marks on it become clearer. They looked like letters and numbers. + +"Wow, Lila, look. It has words on it. Maybe it is a message or a code," Tom said. + +"Maybe, Tom. But we can't read it. We need to ask mom or dad," Lila said. + +They ran back to mom and showed her the shiny thing. Mom looked at it and smiled. + +"Lila and Tom, you found a coin. It is not a treasure or a magic thing, but it is still interesting. It is from another country. See, it says 'Canada' and '25 cents'. That means it is worth a quarter of a dollar in Canada. Someone must have dropped it in the garden a long time ago," mom said. + +Lila and Tom were amazed. They had never seen a coin like that before. They thanked mom for explaining it to them and asked if they could keep it. + +"Of course you can keep it, Lila and Tom. It is your find. But next time, please remember to clean your feet before you come inside," mom said. + +Lila and Tom nodded and hugged mom. They put the coin in their jar with the bugs and went back to the garden. They wondered what else they might find there. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Ben, but she could not see him. She wondered where he was hiding. + +She walked around the park, calling his name. "Ben, where are you? I can't find you!" She checked behind the trees, under the benches, and in the bushes. But she still could not find him. She started to feel sad and worried. Maybe he was lost or hurt. + +She decided to look in the playground, where they liked to slide and swing. She ran to the playground and saw a big pile of leaves. She thought maybe Ben was hiding under the leaves. She ran to the pile and started to move the leaves. She hoped to reveal Ben and surprise him. + +But as she moved the leaves, she heard a loud bark. She jumped back and saw a big dog coming out of the pile. The dog had brown fur and a wet nose. It looked friendly, but it also looked hungry. It wagged its tail and licked Lily's face. Lily was scared and screamed. + +"Help! Help! There's a dog!" she cried. + +She heard Ben's voice from behind a slide. "Lily, don't be afraid. It's my dog, Max. I brought him to the park to play with us. He was hiding with me under the leaves. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I wanted to surprise you." + +Ben came out from behind the slide and ran to Lily and Max. He hugged them both and said, "Lily, this is Max. He's my new friend. My mom and dad gave him to me for my birthday. He's very nice and gentle. He won't hurt you. Do you want to pet him?" + +Lily looked at Ben and Max. She was still scared, but she also felt curious. She saw that Max had a big smile and a floppy ear. She reached out her hand and touched his ear. It was soft and warm. Max licked her hand and wagged his tail again. + +Lily smiled and said, "Hi, Max. You're a good dog. I'm sorry I screamed. I didn't know you were here. You're very cute and fluffy. I like your ear." + +Ben smiled and said, "I'm glad you like him, Lily. He likes you too. He's very grateful that you played with him. He was lonely at home. Can we be friends, all three of us?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Ben. We can be friends. I'm sorry I was sad and worried. I thought you were lost or hurt. I'm happy you're here. And I'm happy you have Max. He's a great surprise." + +They hugged each other and then hugged Max. They decided to play together in the park, with the slide, the swing, and the leaves. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They were happy and grateful for their friendship. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big house with a pink door. Sara likes pink. She wants to see the house. + +"Can we go there?" Sara asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is not nice to enter other people's houses," Ben says. + +"But it looks so pretty. Maybe they have toys and candy inside," Sara says. + +She runs to the door and knocks. No one answers. She tries to open the door. It is not locked. She enters the house. + +"Wait, Sara, don't go!" Ben calls. He follows her. + +Inside the house, they see many things. There are pink curtains, pink pillows, pink rugs, and pink pictures. There are also toys and candy on a table. Sara and Ben are happy. They play with the toys and eat some candy. + +"Hello, children. Who are you?" a voice says. + +Sara and Ben turn around. They see a lady with a pink dress and a pink hat. She smiles at them. + +"We are Sara and Ben. We are sorry. We saw your pink door and we wanted to see your house. It is so pretty," Sara says. + +The lady laughs. She is not angry. She is nice. + +"That's all right. I like pink too. It is my favorite color. You can play with my toys and candy. But you should always ask before you enter someone's house. It is polite," she says. + +Sara and Ben nod. They say thank you. They make a new friend. They like the pink house. They like the lady. They have fun. +Dan and Sam were friends who liked to play with spears. They made them from sticks and stones and pretended to hunt animals. One day, Dan saw a big bird in the sky and wanted to throw his spear at it. He asked Sam to lend him his spear, because it was longer and sharper than his. + +"Please, Sam, lend me your spear. I want to catch that bird," Dan said. + +"No, Dan, this is my spear. You have your own. Find another bird," Sam said. + +But Dan did not listen. He grabbed Sam's spear and ran after the bird. Sam was angry and ran after him. He wanted his spear back. He shouted at Dan to stop, but Dan did not stop. He threw the spear at the bird, but he missed. The spear flew far away and landed in a bush. + +Dan and Sam ran to the bush to find the spear, but they could not see it. It was hidden by the leaves and thorns. They tried to reach for it, but they hurt their hands. They started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I should not have taken your spear. It was wrong," Dan said. + +"I'm sorry, too, Dan. I should not have been mean to you. You are my friend," Sam said. + +They hugged each other and stopped crying. They decided to make a new spear together, and to share it. They also decided to be more careful with their spears, and not to throw them at birds. They learned their lesson. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Anna's brother Tom came into her room. He saw Lily on the bed and picked her up. He said, "This doll is silly. She can't do anything. She is not useful." He threw Lily on the floor and ran away. + +Anna was very sad. She ran to Lily and hugged her. She said, "Don't listen to Tom. He is mean. You are very useful. You are my friend. You make me happy." She kissed Lily and put her back on the bed. + +Anna wondered why Tom was so mean. She thought he did not like dolls because they were for girls. She wished he would let her play with her dolls in peace. She decided to talk to him later and tell him how she felt. + +She hoped he would understand and be nice to her and Lily. She thought maybe he would like to play with her sometimes, if she let him choose a game. She thought maybe they could have fun together, if they were kind. She smiled and went to find Tom. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, their mom says, "It is time for lunch. Come to the kitchen, please." + +Sara and Ben run to the kitchen. They see two trays on the table. One tray has a sandwich, an apple, and a glass of milk. The other tray has a soup, a banana, and a glass of juice. + +Sara says, "I want the sandwich tray. It looks yummy." + +Ben says, "No, I want the sandwich tray. It looks better." + +Sara and Ben start to fight. They pull the tray from each other. The tray falls on the floor. The sandwich, the apple, and the milk make a big mess. + +Their mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Sara and Ben, what did you do? You wasted your food. You made a mess. You were not nice to each other. That is very bad." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted the same tray. We did not decide who gets it. We did not share. We were not kind." + +Their mom says, "You need to learn to decide and share. You need to be kind to each other. You are twins. You are friends. You can have different things and still be happy. Now, help me clean up the mess. Then, you can have the other tray. It has soup, a banana, and juice. It is also yummy." + +Sara and Ben help their mom clean up the mess. They say, "Thank you, mom. We will decide and share next time. We will be kind to each other. We love you." + +Their mom says, "I love you too. Now, enjoy your lunch. And be careful with the tray." +Anna likes to help her mom with the tasks at home. She is an intelligent girl who learns fast. One day, mom teaches her how to fold the clothes after they are dry. Anna watches carefully and tries to copy mom. + +First, mom takes a shirt and lays it flat on the bed. Then, she folds the sleeves to the middle. Next, she folds the shirt in half from the bottom to the top. Finally, she makes a neat pile with the folded shirt. Anna thinks it looks like a rectangle. + +Anna wants to try it too. She takes a shirt and lays it flat on the bed. She folds the sleeves to the middle, but they are not even. She tries again and makes them better. Then, she folds the shirt in half from the bottom to the top, but it is not straight. She tries again and makes it smoother. She puts the folded shirt on the pile and smiles. She did it! + +Mom is proud of Anna. She gives her a hug and a kiss. She says, "You are a good helper, Anna. You are very intelligent. You learned how to fold the clothes very well. Thank you for helping me with this task." Anna feels happy and proud too. She likes to help mom and learn new things. She says, "You are welcome, mom. I love you." +Ben likes cars. He likes to look at them and hear them go vroom. He has many toy cars that he plays with every day. He likes to pretend he is a mechanic and fix them with his tools. + +One day, he goes with his mom to the car shop. His mom's car is broken and needs a mechanic. Ben is very excited. He wants to see the real mechanics and the real cars. He holds his mom's hand and walks around the shop. + +He sees many cars in the shop. Some are big, some are small, some are shiny, some are dirty. He admires them all. He wonders what is wrong with them and how the mechanics will fix them. He sees a mechanic working on a red car. The red car is very expensive. It has a long nose and a loud engine. Ben thinks it is the coolest car ever. + +He walks up to the mechanic and says hello. The mechanic smiles and says hello back. He asks Ben if he likes cars. Ben nods and says yes. He says he wants to be a mechanic when he grows up. The mechanic laughs and says that is a good choice. He says he likes cars too. He says he can show Ben some of his tools and how he uses them. + +Ben is very happy. He follows the mechanic and learns about wrenches, hammers, screws and wires. He helps the mechanic tighten a bolt and check a light. He feels like a real mechanic. He thanks the mechanic and gives him a high five. The mechanic says he is welcome and says he is a good helper. He says he hopes to see Ben again. + +Ben goes back to his mom and tells her what he did. His mom is proud of him and says he did a great job. She says her car is fixed and they can go home. Ben says goodbye to the mechanic and the red car. He says he had a lot of fun. He says he still wants to be a mechanic when he grows up. He says he will keep playing with his toy cars and learning more. He says he loves cars. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big red ring in the garage. It was shiny and round and made a loud noise when they hit it. They wanted to play with it, but their mom said no. She said it was not a toy, but a gas ring. She said gas was very hot and could hurt them. She told them to leave it alone and play with something else. + +But Ben and Sam did not listen. They waited until their mom was busy and took the gas ring to their room. They put it on the floor and hit it with their hands and feet. They laughed and shouted as the ring made a rough sound. They did not see the small hole in the ring where gas came out. They did not smell the gas in the air. They did not hear their mom calling them. + +Soon, the gas ring made a big boom. It burst into flames and set the room on fire. Ben and Sam screamed and ran out of the room. Their mom heard them and came to see what happened. She saw the fire and the gas ring and was very angry and scared. She grabbed Ben and Sam and took them outside. She called the firemen to put out the fire. + +Ben and Sam were very sorry and sad. They had ruined their room and their toys. They had made their mom cry and worry. They had put themselves in danger. They learned a hard lesson. They should have listened to their mom and not played with the gas ring. They should have respected her and her rules. They should have been careful and smart. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They promised to never do it again. Their mom forgave them and hugged them back. She said she loved them and was glad they were safe. She said they would have to help her clean up and fix the damage. She said they would have to earn back her trust and their toys. Ben and Sam agreed and said they would do their best. They realized that playing with the gas ring was not fun, but foolish. They decided to play with their other toys that were safe and fun. They learned that gas rings are not toys, but tools. They learned that listening to their mom was wise, not boring. They learned that being good was better than being naughty. +Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They see a big hill with many flowers. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's race to the top!" Tim says. "The first one who gets there wins!" + +"OK!" Mia says. "But you have to be fair. No pushing or pulling!" + +They start to run up the hill. Tim is fast and strong. He runs ahead of Mia. He thinks he will win. But Mia is smart and brave. She finds a path that is easier and shorter. She runs faster and faster. + +"Look, I'm almost there!" Mia shouts. "I'm going to win!" + +Tim looks back and sees Mia. He is surprised and angry. He tries to run faster, but he trips on a rock and falls. He hurts his knee and cries. + +Mia reaches the top of the hill. She sees a beautiful view of nature. She sees trees and birds and clouds. She feels happy and proud. She also sees Tim on the ground. She feels sorry for him. + +She runs down the hill to help him. She gives him a hug and a band-aid. She says, "You are strong, Tim. But sometimes you have to be careful. And sometimes you have to be kind. Do you want to see the view with me?" + +Tim stops crying and nods. He says, "Yes, please. And I'm sorry for being mean. You are smart, Mia. And you are a good friend. You win the race, but we both win the fun." + +They hold hands and walk up the hill together. They enjoy the view and the nature. They smile and laugh. They are happy. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big box full of cars, trains, planes and animals. He liked to make noises and stories with them. One day, he found a new toy in the box. It was a horn that made a loud sound when he pressed it. + +Tom was very happy with his horn. He ran around the house, pressing the horn and making everyone jump. He pressed the horn in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bathroom and in his bedroom. He thought it was very funny, but his mom and dad did not. They said, "Tom, stop making so much noise! You are hurting our ears!" + +Tom did not listen. He wanted to play with his horn more. He went outside to the garden, where his dog Spot was sleeping. He sneaked up to Spot and pressed the horn right next to his ear. Spot woke up with a loud bark and a jump. He was very scared and angry. He bit Tom's hand and ran away. + +Tom dropped the horn and cried. His hand was bleeding and hurting. He ran back to the house, looking for his mom and dad. They heard him crying and came to help him. They saw his hand and said, "Oh, Tom, what happened? You are hurt!" + +Tom told them what he did with the horn and how Spot bit him. He said he was sorry and that he did not mean to scare Spot. He said he did not like the horn anymore and that he wanted to throw it away. His mom and dad hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. We forgive you. But you have to be more careful with your toys and with Spot. You have to respect their ears and feelings. And you have to say sorry to Spot too." + +They cleaned and bandaged Tom's hand and gave him some ice cream to make him feel better. Then they took him to the garden, where Spot was hiding under a tree. Tom called his name and said, "Spot, I'm sorry. I was bad. I hurt your ear. I don't want to play with the horn anymore. I want to play with you. Can we be friends again?" + +Spot came out of his hiding place and wagged his tail. He licked Tom's face and hand and barked softly. He forgave Tom and wanted to play with him too. Tom hugged him and said, "Thank you, Spot. You are a good dog. I love you." + +They played together in the garden, with Tom's other toys. They did not use the horn anymore. They used their voices and their paws and their noses. They had fun and they were happy. And they did not hurt anyone's ears or feelings. +Lily was a little girl who liked to wander. She liked to see new things and meet new animals. One day, she wandered too far from her home. She saw a big farm with many cows and chickens. She wanted to play with them. + +She climbed over the fence and ran to the cows. But the cows did not like her. They mooed loudly and chased her away. She ran to the chickens. But the chickens did not like her either. They pecked at her and flapped their wings. She ran away from them too. + +She saw a big pile of leaves. She thought it would be fun to jump in them. She ran to the pile and jumped. But she did not know that there was a rake hidden under the leaves. The rake was sharp and harsh. It hurt her foot when she landed on it. She cried out in pain. + +A farmer heard her cry. He came to see what was wrong. He saw Lily and the rake. He was angry. He said, "What are you doing here? This is my farm. You should not wander here. You could get hurt or scare my animals. Go back to your home and stay there." + +He helped Lily get up and gave her a bandage for her foot. He took her to the fence and told her to go. Lily was sorry. She learned that wandering can be dangerous and rude. She said, "I'm sorry, farmer. I won't wander here again. Thank you for helping me." + +She limped back to her home. She told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm glad you're safe, Lily. But you should not wander so far. You should listen to me and stay close. Wandering can lead to trouble and pain." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I know, mom. I learned my lesson. I won't wander so far again. I love you, mom." + +She gave her mom a kiss and went to bed. She dreamed of cows and chickens and leaves and rakes. She hoped they would forgive her. She hoped she would be more careful and respectful next time. She hoped she would be a good girl. +Lila was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She liked to play with her toys, read her books, and draw with her crayons. But sometimes, she felt lonely and wished she had a friend to share her fun. + +One night, Lila had a dream. She dreamed that she was in a land of ice, where everything was white and cold. She saw a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. He smiled at her and said, "Hello, I'm Snowy. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lila was happy and said, "Yes, I do. You look nice and friendly. What can we play?" + +Snowy said, "We can make snowballs and throw them at each other. We can slide on the ice and make funny shapes. We can build a snow fort and pretend we are kings and queens. We can have a lot of fun." + +Lila and Snowy played for a long time. They laughed and talked and had a great time. Lila felt warm and cozy, even though it was cold. She felt like she had found a true friend. + +But then, she heard a voice. It was her mom, calling her name. "Lila, Lila, wake up. It's time to get up and have breakfast." + +Lila opened her eyes and saw her mom. She was sad to leave her dream and her friend. She said, "Mom, I had a dream. I dreamed of a land of ice and a snowman. His name was Snowy and he was my friend. Can I go back to my dream?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That sounds like a wonderful dream, Lila. But you can't go back to your dream now. You have to get up and start your day. Maybe you can dream of Snowy again another night. Or maybe you can make a new friend today. You are a big girl and you can do anything you want." + +Lila nodded and got out of bed. She still missed Snowy, but she was curious about the new day. She wondered what adventures she would have and what friends she would meet. She was independent, but she was also friendly. She was ready to explore the world. +Lila and Sam were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were fairies and used flowers and leaves to make crowns and dresses. Lila found a big green veil that someone had left on the fence. She put it on and said, "Look, Sam, I'm a queen fairy!" + +Sam smiled and said, "You're very pretty, Lila. Can I be your king fairy?" He picked up a stick and pretended it was a wand. + +Lila nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But we have to be careful. There is a big bad dragon that lives in the woods. He likes to eat fairies and steal their magic." + +Sam gasped and said, "Where is he? How do we stop him?" + +Lila pointed to the trees and said, "He's hiding there. We have to be brave and use our magic to make him go away. Come on, let's move closer and see if we can find him." + +They walked slowly and quietly towards the woods, holding hands and waving their wand and veil. They did not see the big dog that was sleeping under a bush. The dog heard them and woke up. He saw the green veil and thought it was a toy. He jumped out and barked loudly, trying to grab the veil. + +Lila and Sam screamed and ran away. They dropped their wand and veil and ran back to the house. They thought the dog was the dragon and they were very scared. + +The dog was confused and sad. He did not want to scare them. He only wanted to play. He picked up the veil and the wand and followed them, hoping they would come back and be his friends. +Anna loved to go to the library with her mom. She liked to look at the books with many pictures and colors. She also liked to listen to the stories that the librarian read to the children. + +One day, Anna saw a big book on a high shelf. It had a picture of a castle and a dragon on the cover. Anna wanted to see the book, but it was too high for her to reach. She asked her mom to get the book for her. + +"Anna, that book is not for you. It is too big and too hard to read. Why don't you choose another book?" her mom said. + +But Anna did not want another book. She wanted the big book with the castle and the dragon. She insisted. "Please, mom, please. I want to see the big book. It looks so mysterious. Maybe it has a magic story inside." + +Her mom sighed. She did not want to argue with Anna. She got a stool and climbed up to get the book. She gave it to Anna and said, "OK, here is the big book. But be careful, it is very heavy. And don't open it too wide, it might tear." + +Anna thanked her mom and hugged the book. She was very happy. She sat down on a cozy chair and opened the book. She could not read the words, but she looked at the pictures. She saw a beautiful princess, a brave knight, a scary dragon, and a shiny treasure. She imagined the story in her head. She felt like she was in the castle with the princess and the knight. She did not notice that the book was glowing and making a strange sound. She did not notice that the librarian was watching her with a worried look. She did not notice that the book was about to take her to a mysterious adventure. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to draw and paint. One day, they make a picture for Mom. They use red, blue, yellow and green. They draw a house, a sun, a tree and a cat. They are happy with their picture. + +They show their picture to Mom. Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "What a beautiful picture! Thank you, Lily and Ben. I love it. I will keep it in a frame and hang it on the wall." + +Lily and Ben are proud. They help Mom find a frame. They choose a silver frame. It is shiny and pretty. Mom puts the picture in the frame. She hangs it on the wall in the living room. Lily and Ben clap their hands. They say, "Look, our picture is in a frame. It looks nice." + +But then, Tom comes in. Tom is their big brother. He is six years old. He does not like to draw and paint. He likes to play with cars and trucks. He sees the picture on the wall. He makes a bad face. He says, "What is that? That is a bad picture. It is ugly and messy. You should not keep it in a frame. You should throw it away." + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They say, "No, Tom. That is not a bad picture. That is a good picture. We made it for Mom. She likes it. She wants to keep it in a frame. You are mean and rude. You should not say that. You should say sorry." + +Mom hears them. She comes to the living room. She sees Tom, Lily and Ben. She says, "What is going on? Why are you fighting?" She listens to them. She says, "Tom, that is not nice. You should not hurt your brother and sister. They worked hard on their picture. They gave it to me as a gift. I love it. It is a beautiful picture. You should respect their feelings. You should apologize to them." + +Tom feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong. Your picture is not bad. It is good. It is colorful and creative. You are good at drawing and painting. I will not say that again. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and Ben forgive him. They hug him. They say, "It's okay, Tom. We forgive you. We love you. You are our brother. You can play with us if you want." + +Mom is happy. She says, "That's good. I'm glad you made up. You are a good family. You should be kind and supportive to each other. You should share and help each other. You should be proud of each other. Now, let's go to the kitchen. I have a surprise for you. I made some cookies for you. They are in the shape of stars. They are yummy and sweet. Do you want some?" + +They all say, "Yes, please!" They go to the kitchen. They eat some cookies. They talk and laugh. They are happy. They look at their picture in the frame. They smile. They think, "We are a good family. We love each other. We love our picture. We will keep it in a frame forever." +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and bridges and houses. They had many blocks of different shapes and colors. + +"Look, I made a circle!" Lily said, holding up a round block. "It is red and smooth and has no corners." + +Ben looked at Lily's block. He did not have a round block. He only had blocks with corners, like squares and triangles and rectangles. He felt confused. + +"What is a circle?" he asked Lily. "How do you make a circle?" + +Lily smiled and put down her block. She took Ben's hand and drew a line in the air with her finger. + +"A circle is a line that goes round and round and meets itself," she explained. "Like this. See?" + +Ben tried to follow Lily's finger with his eyes. He saw the line go round and round, but he did not see it meet itself. He still felt confused. + +"I don't understand," he said. "How can a line meet itself? How can a block be a circle?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to help Ben understand. She had an idea. + +"Come with me," she said. She led Ben to the window and pointed outside. "Look, what do you see in the sky?" + +Ben looked out the window. He saw a big yellow ball in the sky. It was bright and warm and made him happy. + +"I see the sun!" he said. + +"Yes, and what shape is the sun?" Lily asked. + +Ben looked at the sun again. He saw that it was round and smooth and had no corners. He realized something. + +"The sun is a circle!" he said. + +Lily nodded and clapped her hands. + +"Yes, the sun is a circle! And so is my block! They are both round and smooth and have no corners. Do you understand now?" + +Ben smiled and nodded. He understood now. He was not confused anymore. + +He hugged Lily and thanked her for teaching him. + +"You are a good friend," he said. + +Lily hugged him back and smiled. + +"You are a good friend, too," she said. + +They went back to playing with blocks. They had fun making circles and other shapes. They learned and laughed together. +Anna likes to find things in the park. She finds sticks, stones, leaves and flowers. She puts them in her basket and takes them home. She shows them to her mom and dad. + +One day, she finds a wide hat in the park. It is blue and white and has a big ribbon. She thinks it is pretty and tries it on. It is too big for her head, but she likes it anyway. She puts it in her basket and takes it home. + +She shows the hat to her mom and dad. They say it is not her hat, but someone else's hat. They say she should take it back to the park and leave it there. Maybe the owner will come and look for it. + +Anna does not want to give back the hat. She thinks it is useful. She has an idea. She takes the hat to her room and puts it on her bed. She puts some of her toys and books inside the hat. She says it is her new basket. She can carry many things in it. + +She is happy with her hat-basket. She thinks it is the best thing she ever found in the park. She does not know that the owner of the hat is looking for it. She does not know that the owner is a lady who likes to wear hats. She does not know that the lady is sad and misses her hat. She only knows that she likes her hat-basket very much. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a diamond ring that someone had lost. Lily picked it up and put it on her finger. She felt very happy and proud. + +"Look, Max, I found a diamond!" she said. "It is so pretty and sparkly. I hope no one comes to take it away from me." + +Max looked at the ring and felt jealous. He wanted to have it too. He thought of a plan to trick Lily. He said, "Lily, do you know that diamonds are very fragile? They can break easily if you drop them or hit them. You should be very careful with your ring. Why don't you let me hold it for a while? I will keep it safe for you." + +Lily trusted her brother and gave him the ring. Max smiled and ran away with it. He thought he was very clever and lucky. He did not see the big rock in his way. He tripped and fell. The ring flew out of his hand and landed on the hard pavement. It cracked and shattered into tiny pieces. + +Lily heard Max cry and ran to him. She saw the broken ring and felt very sad. She said, "Max, why did you do that? You lied to me and stole my ring. And now you broke it. It was a gift from the park. It was not yours or mine. It was for everyone to enjoy. You were very mean and greedy." + +Max felt very sorry and ashamed. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was wrong. I wanted to have the diamond because it was so pretty and sparkly. I did not think about how you felt or how the ring felt. I did not know it was so fragile. I hope you can forgive me." + +Lily hugged her brother and said, "I forgive you, Max. But you have to learn to share and be honest. Diamonds are not the most important thing in the world. Love and kindness are. They are stronger and more beautiful than any diamond. And they never break." +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But then a big boy came. He was mean and ugly. He had a big stick in his hand. He said, "What a silly snowman! I don't like him. I will break him!" + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They said, "No, please don't! He is our friend. We worked hard to make him. Go away!" + +But the big boy did not listen. He swung his stick at the snowman. He hit his hat and his scarf. He hit his nose and his eyes. He hit his body and his arms. He broke the snowman into pieces. + +Tom and Lily cried. They tried to resist, but they were too small and weak. They could not stop the big boy. He laughed and ran away. + +Tom and Lily hugged each other. They were cold and sad. They said, "We hate the big boy. He is mean and ugly. He has no friends. We have each other. We will make another snowman. He will be better and stronger. We will not let the big boy break him again." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. Today, Mom takes them to the store. She says they can pick one toy each, but they have to behave. + +Anna and Ben run to the toy aisle. They see many toys. Anna likes a doll with a pink dress. Ben likes a truck with big wheels. They grab the toys and show Mom. + +"Can we have these, Mom?" they ask. + +Mom looks at the toys. She sees that the doll's arm is broken and the truck's wheel is loose. She shakes her head. + +"No, these toys are broken. You have to pick other toys," she says. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They don't want other toys. They want these toys. They start to cry and whine. + +"Mom, please, we want these toys!" they say. + +Mom is not happy. She frowns and says, "Stop crying and whining. You have to behave. If you don't, we will go home without any toys." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They don't want to go home without any toys. They wipe their tears and sniff. They put the broken toys back on the shelf. They look for other toys. + +They find a teddy bear and a car. They are not broken. They are soft and shiny. They like them. They show Mom. + +"Can we have these, Mom?" they ask. + +Mom smiles and nods. She says, "Yes, you can have these. You behaved well. I'm proud of you." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too. Let's go pay for the toys and go home." + +They go to the cashier and pay for the toys. They go home. They play with the teddy bear and the car. They have fun. They are good twins. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a new fox near the trees. The fox was red and had a long tail. Lily and Tom wanted to talk to the fox. + +"Hello, fox!" Lily said. "What is your name?" + +The fox looked at Lily and Tom. He was shy and scared. He did not talk to them. + +"Please, fox, do not be afraid," Tom said. "We are your friends. We want to play with you." + +The fox saw that Lily and Tom were nice and kind. He came closer to them. He said, "My name is Max. I am a new fox in the park. I do not have any friends here." + +Lily and Tom smiled at Max. They said, "We are Lily and Tom. We are new in the park too. We just moved here with our mom and dad. We can be your friends, Max." + +Max was happy. He said, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are very good friends. Can we play together?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Yes, Max, we can play together. Let's go to the slide and the swings. We can have fun together." + +Lily, Tom and Max ran to the slide and the swings. They played and laughed and talked. They had a lot of fun. They became good friends. They liked the new park. +Ben and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat steak for dinner. Mom said she would cook steak for them. She put the steak in a pan and turned on the fire. + +"Can we help, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, you can. You can zip up your aprons and wash your hands," Mom said. + +Ben and Mia zipped up their aprons and washed their hands. They were excited to eat steak. They liked steak a lot. + +But then, something bad happened. The fire was too big. The steak burned. Smoke came out of the pan. The smoke alarm beeped. + +"Uh-oh, Mom. The steak is ruined," Mia said. + +Mom turned off the fire and took the pan off the stove. She looked at the steak. It was black and hard. + +"I'm sorry, kids. The steak is not good. We can't eat it," Mom said. + +Ben and Mia were sad. They wanted to eat steak. They did not want to eat something else. + +"Can we have pizza instead, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Or spaghetti?" Mia asked. + +Mom smiled. She hugged Ben and Mia. + +"Sure, we can have pizza or spaghetti. You are very good kids. You deserve a perfect dinner," Mom said. + +Ben and Mia smiled. They did not mind the steak anymore. They loved pizza and spaghetti. They loved Mom. They had a perfect dinner. +Lily and Sam were playing in the garden. They saw a butterfly with blue and yellow wings. It was sitting on a flower. + +"Look, a butterfly!" Lily said. "It is so fair and pretty." + +Sam nodded. He wanted to touch the butterfly. He reached out his hand slowly. But the butterfly flew away. + +"Come back, butterfly!" Sam cried. He ran after the butterfly. Lily followed him. + +They chased the butterfly across the garden. They passed by a pond, a tree, and a fence. But the butterfly was too fast for them. + +They stopped near a shed. They saw the butterfly land on a broken toy car. The car was old and dirty. It had no wheels and no windows. + +"Look, the butterfly likes the car," Lily said. "Maybe it wants to help the car." + +Sam smiled. He had an idea. He ran to the shed and found some wheels, some glass, and some paint. He brought them to the car. + +"Let's restore the car," he said to Lily. "Then the butterfly will be happy." + +Lily agreed. They worked together to fix the car. They put on the wheels, the glass, and the paint. They made the car look new and shiny. + +The butterfly watched them. It fluttered its wings. It seemed to like the car. + +"Wow, we did it!" Lily said. "The car is fair and pretty, like the butterfly." + +Sam nodded. He was proud of their work. He looked at the butterfly. + +"Thank you, butterfly," he said. "You gave us a fun game. Do you want to ride the car with us?" + +The butterfly flew to Sam's hand. It tickled his fingers. It nodded. + +Lily and Sam laughed. They put the butterfly on the car. They pushed the car around the garden. They had a lot of fun. + +The end. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a light bug. It has a shiny tail. They want to catch it. + +"Look, a light bug!" Ben says. "Let's catch it and put it in a jar." + +"OK, but we need a jar first," Mia says. "Let's search in the shed." + +They run to the shed and search for a jar. They find one under a box. They also find a bottle of lotion. + +"What is this?" Ben asks, holding the bottle. + +"It's lotion. Mommy uses it for her skin. It makes it soft and smooth," Mia says. + +"Can we use it too?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, why not?" Mia says. "Let's put some on our hands." + +They open the bottle and squeeze some lotion on their hands. They rub it on their skin. It feels nice and smells good. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Ben says. + +"Yeah, and maybe it will help us catch the light bug," Mia says. + +They run back to the garden with the jar and the lotion. They see the light bug flying near a flower. They try to catch it with their hands, but it is too fast and smart. It flies away. + +"Come back, light bug!" Ben says. + +"Please, we just want to see you," Mia says. + +They chase the light bug around the garden, but they cannot catch it. They get tired and sweaty. The lotion makes their hands slippery and sticky. + +"Maybe we should stop," Ben says. + +"Yeah, this is hard," Mia says. + +They sit on the grass and look at the sky. They see many stars. They are also shiny and light. + +"Look, more light bugs!" Ben says. + +"They are not light bugs, they are stars. They are very far away," Mia says. + +"They are pretty. Do you think we can catch them?" Ben asks. + +"No, we can't. They are too high and big. But we can wish on them," Mia says. + +"How do we do that?" Ben asks. + +"We close our eyes and think of something we want. Then we say it out loud," Mia says. + +"OK, let's try it," Ben says. + +They close their eyes and think hard. Then they say their wishes. + +"I wish we could catch a light bug someday," Ben says. + +"I wish we could have more lotion to play with," Mia says. + +They open their eyes and smile at each other. They hug and say good night. They go back to the house and wash their hands. They sleep well and dream of light bugs and lotion. +Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play with toys and make noise. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a lock on it. Lily and Max want to see what is inside. + +They look for a key, but they cannot find one. They try to open the lock with a spoon, a stick, and a rock, but nothing works. They are sad. They want to have fun. + +Then, Lily has an idea. She sees a hammer on the shelf. She takes it and hits the lock hard. Bang! The lock breaks and the box opens. Lily and Max are happy. They unlock the box. + +They look inside the box and see many things. They see books, clothes, toys, and pictures. They take them out and play with them. They make a big mess in the garage. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is coming to the garage. She will see the mess. Lily and Max are scared. They try to put the things back in the box, but they are too many and too messy. They cannot close the box. + +Mom opens the door and sees Lily and Max and the mess. She is angry. She asks them what they did. Lily and Max say they are sorry. They say they wanted to have fun. They say they unlock the box. + +Mom sighs. She says they should not break things and make a mess. She says they should ask before they touch things. She says they have to clean up the mess. Lily and Max say they will. They say they will be good. + +Mom smiles. She says she loves them. She says she will help them clean up. She says they can have fun in other ways. She says they can read the books, wear the clothes, play with the toys, and look at the pictures. She says they can unlock their imagination. Lily and Max hug her. They say they love her too. They say they will unlock their imagination. They say they will have fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were kings and queens of a big palace. They used sticks and stones and leaves to make their palace. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, a big dog came to the park. He saw the palace and wanted to play with it. He ran to it and started to bite and pull and shake the sticks and stones and leaves. He made a big mess. + +Sara and Ben saw the dog and got very angry. They shouted at the dog. "Go away, dog! You are ignorant! You are ruining our palace!" But the dog did not listen. He kept playing with the palace. + +Sara and Ben did not know what to do. They were scared of the dog. They wanted their palace back. They looked around and saw a big tree. They ran to the tree and climbed up. They hoped the dog would not see them. + +They waited and waited. They watched the dog. The dog got tired of the palace. He looked for something else to play with. He saw a ball. He ran to the ball and chased it. He forgot about the palace. + +Sara and Ben saw the dog go away. They were happy. They climbed down the tree and went to their palace. But their palace was gone. The dog had made it vanish. There were only sticks and stones and leaves on the ground. + +Sara and Ben felt sad. They had worked hard to make their palace. They liked their palace. They wanted their palace back. But their palace was not there. They could not make it come back. + +They looked at each other. They hugged each other. They decided to make a new palace. They said, "We are still kings and queens. We can make a new palace. We can make it better. We can have more fun." + +They smiled and started to pick up the sticks and stones and leaves. They did not give up. They did not let the ignorant dog ruin their day. They made a new palace. They played and laughed and had fun. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are at the park with Mom. They see a big fountain with water that goes up and down. Anna likes the fountain. She runs to it and puts her hand in the water. It is cold and wet. + +"Anna, be careful!" Mom says. "You will get your dress wet. Come back here." + +But Anna does not listen. She likes the water. She splashes it with her hand and laughs. She sees a coin in the fountain. She wants the coin. She reaches for it and falls in the fountain. + +"Anna!" Mom and Ben shout. They run to the fountain and help Anna out. Anna is wet and cold. She cries. Mom hugs her and wraps her in a towel. + +"Anna, why did you do that?" Mom asks. "You know you should not go in the fountain. You could get hurt." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Anna says. "I saw a coin and I wanted it. It was shiny and pretty." + +Mom sighs. She takes the coin from Anna's hand and puts it back in the fountain. She says, "The coin is not yours, Anna. It belongs to the fountain. People throw coins in the fountain and make a wish. You should not take them. It is not nice." + +Anna looks at the coin. She says, "I did not know that, Mom. I'm sorry. Can I make a wish too?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, you can. But first, let's go home and change your clothes. You are wearing a wet dress and it is gray and dirty. You need a dry dress and it should be pink and clean." + +Anna nods. She says, "OK, Mom. Let's go home. But can we come back to the park later and see the fountain again?" + +Mom says, "Maybe, Anna. Maybe. But only if you promise to be careful and not go in the fountain again." + +Anna says, "I promise, Mom. I promise." She holds Mom's hand and walks with her and Ben to the car. She thinks about what she will wish for when she sees the fountain again. She hopes it will come true. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big sand box and a small pool. They make sand castles and splash water. + +One day, they find a big jug in the shed. It is blue and shiny. They fill it with water from the tap. They want to pour water on their sand castles. + +"Look, Lily, I can pour water from very high!" Tom says. He lifts the jug over his head and tilts it. Water falls on his sand castle. It makes a big hole. + +"Wow, Tom, that is fun!" Lily says. She takes the jug from Tom and tries to do the same. But the jug is too heavy for her. She drops it on the ground. Water spills everywhere. + +"Oh no, Lily, you broke the jug!" Tom says. He is angry. He points at the crack on the jug. "Now we can't pour water anymore!" + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't mean to!" Lily says. She is sad. She looks at the broken jug. "Maybe we can fix it?" + +They look around for something to fix the jug. They see some tape and glue in the shed. They try to stick the jug together. But it doesn't work. The water still leaks out. + +They sit on the grass and sigh. They don't know what to do. They look at the sky. It is sunny and bright. They see a big rainbow. It has many colors. It stretches from the west to the east. + +"Look, Tom, a rainbow!" Lily says. She smiles. She points at the rainbow. "Maybe it can help us!" + +"How can a rainbow help us, Lily?" Tom says. He is curious. He looks at the rainbow. "It is just a pretty thing in the sky." + +"Maybe it is a magic rainbow, Tom!" Lily says. She is hopeful. She stands up and holds the jug. "Maybe it can make our jug whole again!" + +She runs towards the rainbow. She holds the jug up to the sky. She says, "Please, rainbow, please fix our jug! We want to pour water on our sand castles! Please be fair and kind!" + +Tom runs after her. He says, "Wait, Lily, wait! You can't catch a rainbow! It is too far away!" + +But Lily doesn't listen. She keeps running and talking to the rainbow. She thinks it can hear her. She thinks it can help her. + +She doesn't see the big rock in front of her. She trips and falls. The jug flies out of her hands. It lands on the rock. It breaks into many pieces. + +Lily cries. She says, "Oh no, oh no, oh no! Now our jug is gone for good! The rainbow didn't help us! It was not fair and kind!" + +Tom reaches her. He hugs her. He says, "It's okay, Lily, it's okay. Don't cry. The jug was old and broken anyway. We can find another one. Or we can use something else to pour water. Like a cup or a bottle. Or we can play something else. Like tag or hide and seek. We can still have fun. We are twins. We stick together." + +Lily looks at him. She wipes her tears. She says, "You are right, Tom, you are right. We can still have fun. We are twins. We stick together." + +They smile. They hug. They leave the broken jug behind. They run back to the garden. They play and laugh. They forget about the jug and the rainbow. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and sing songs. One day, Lily's mom said, "We are going to a party. It is for your cousin Sam. He is four years old today. You can wear your new dress. It is pink and shiny." + +Lily was happy. She liked parties and dresses. She put on her dress and looked in the mirror. She smiled and said, "I am pretty. I will have fun at the party." + +Ben came to Lily's house. He wore a blue shirt and jeans. He had a gift for Sam. It was a truck. He liked trucks. He said, "Hi, Lily. Are you ready to go to the party?" + +Lily said, "Yes, Ben. I am ready. Do you like my dress? It is shiny." + +Ben looked at Lily's dress. He did not like it. He thought it was ugly. He said, "No, Lily. I do not like your dress. It is ugly. It hurts my eyes. You look like a big pink fish." + +Lily was sad. She did not like Ben's words. She felt bad. She said, "Ben, you are mean. You are not my friend. Go away." + +Lily's mom heard Lily and Ben. She came to them. She said, "What is wrong, Lily and Ben? Why are you not happy?" + +Lily said, "Ben said my dress is ugly. He said I look like a fish. He is mean." + +Ben said, "Lily's dress is ugly. It is shiny. I do not like it." + +Lily's mom said, "Lily and Ben, you are both wrong. Lily's dress is not ugly. It is pretty. It shines because it is special. It is a party dress. Ben, you should not say mean things to Lily. You should say sorry. Lily, you should not be mad at Ben. He has a different opinion. You should be kind. You are both friends. You should have fun at the party." + +Lily and Ben listened to Lily's mom. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben. We are friends. We will have fun at the party." + +Lily's mom said, "That's good. Now, let's go to the party. Sam is waiting for you. He has cake and balloons and games. You will have a great time." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They hugged each other. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you. We love parties. We love cake and balloons and games. Let's go." + +They went to the party. They had a great time. They played with Sam and his friends. They ate cake and sang songs. They forgot about the dress and the truck. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing soccer in the park. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. They had two goals made of sticks and rocks. Lily was on the red team and Ben was on the blue team. + +"Let's see who can score more goals!" Lily said. "The winner gets a victory dance!" + +"OK, but I will win!" Ben said. "You are too slow and weak!" + +They started to play. Lily kicked the ball hard and fast. She scored a goal in the red goal. She was happy and did a victory dance. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said. "You cheated! You kicked the ball too hard!" + +He was angry and kicked the ball harder. He scored a goal in the blue goal. He did a victory dance too. + +"Ha, ha, I scored!" Ben said. "You are too slow and weak!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She kicked the ball harder too. She scored another goal in the red goal. She did another victory dance. + +"Stop it, stop it!" Ben said. "You are cheating again! You kicked the ball too hard!" + +He was very angry and kicked the ball very hard. He kicked it so hard that it flew out of the park and hit a car. The car made a loud noise and the driver got out. He was very angry too. + +"Who did this? Who kicked this ball?" the driver said. "You broke my window! You have to pay for it!" + +He saw Lily and Ben and walked towards them. They were scared and ran away. They left the ball and the goals behind. They ran all the way home and hid in their rooms. They were quiet and sad. They did not play soccer again. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big hill with a cliff at the end. They wanted to see what was on the other side of the cliff, so they climbed up the hill. + +"Be careful, Sara," Ben said. "The cliff is very high and steep. You might fall down." + +"Don't worry, Ben," Sara said. "I am brave and strong. I can climb anything." + +They reached the top of the hill and looked over the cliff. They saw a beautiful lake with ducks and fish. They also saw a picnic table with a basket and a blanket. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sara said. "Someone left a picnic for us. Let's go and eat it." + +"No, Sara, that's not ours," Ben said. "That belongs to someone else. We can't take it." + +But Sara did not listen. She ran down the hill and jumped over the cliff. She landed on the blanket and opened the basket. She saw sandwiches, cookies, and juice. She grabbed a sandwich and took a big bite. + +"Mmm, this is yummy," Sara said. "Do you want some, Ben?" + +Ben did not answer. He was too scared to follow Sara. He stayed on the hill and watched her. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud roar. He looked up and saw a big bear coming out of the woods. The bear smelled the food and saw Sara. It ran towards her, growling and showing its teeth. + +"Sara, watch out!" Ben shouted. "There's a bear! Run!" + +Sara heard Ben and saw the bear. She dropped the sandwich and screamed. She tried to run back to the cliff, but she was too late. The bear was faster and caught her. + +Ben felt very sad and sorry. He wished he could help Sara, but he did not know how. He wished they had never gone to the hill. He wished they had listened to their mom, who had told them to stay in the yard and serve tea to their dolls. + +He hoped Sara would be okay. He hoped the bear would not hurt her. He hoped someone would come and save them. + +He was very tired and scared. He closed his eyes and cried. +Lily and Ben were young and liked to play. They had many toys, but they wanted more. One day, they saw a big store with many shiny things. They ran inside and looked around. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. She picked up a doll with long hair and a pretty dress. "I want this!" + +"Me too!" Ben said. He grabbed a car with lights and sounds. "This is cool!" + +They did not see the sign that said "Pay here". They did not see the man who watched them. They did not see the door that closed behind them. + +They ran to the exit with their toys. But the door was locked. They pushed and pulled, but it did not open. They heard a loud voice. + +"Stop! You are bad kids! You did not pay for those things! You are thieves!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped their toys and cried. They wanted to go home. They wanted their mom and dad. But they could not. They were trapped. They had no money. They had no help. They had nothing left. +Tom and Anna like to play in the garden. They see many plants with different colors and shapes. They smell the flowers and touch the leaves. They are happy. + +But one day, they see a new plant in the garden. It is big and green and has long vines. Tom is curious. He wants to see the plant up close. He runs to the plant and grabs a vine. + +"Ouch!" Tom cries. The vine is sharp and hurts his hand. He lets go of the vine and runs back to Anna. He shows her his hand. It has a small cut and some blood. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Anna asks. She is worried. + +"I'm fine, Anna. It's just a little cut. But that plant is bad. It bit me!" Tom says. + +Anna hugs Tom and says, "I'm sorry, Tom. That plant is not bad. It is just different. It has sharp vines to protect itself from animals. We should not grab it. We should be careful and respect it." + +Tom nods and says, "You're right, Anna. We should respect all plants. They are part of the garden. Can we play with the other plants?" + +Anna smiles and says, "Yes, we can. But first, let's wash your hand and put a band-aid on it. Then we can play with the other plants. They are nice and friendly." + +Tom and Anna go to the house and wash Tom's hand. They put a band-aid on it and go back to the garden. They play with the other plants and have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play and share. But today was their birthday, and they each got a present. Lily got a puzzle, and Ben got a book. + +Lily wanted to solve the puzzle, but it was hard. She asked Ben to help her. Ben said no. He wanted to read his book. He said puzzles were boring. + +Lily felt sad. She tried to solve the puzzle by herself, but she could not. She looked at Ben. He was reading his book. He looked comfortable. Lily felt angry. She grabbed his book and tore it. + +Ben was shocked. He saw his book in pieces. He started to cry. He yelled at Lily. He said she was mean and selfish. He pushed her. + +Lily fell down. She hit her head on the table. She started to bleed. She cried too. She said she was sorry. She said she just wanted to play. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran away. He did not want to see Lily. He did not want to share. He did not want to be her twin. + +Lily was alone. She had no puzzle, no book, no friend. She had a bad birthday. She wished she could solve everything. +Tom is a big boy. He likes to play with his motor. His motor can go fast and make noise. He can drive his motor on the road or on the grass. He is independent. He does not need help from mom or dad. + +One day, Tom wants to play with his motor in the park. He asks mom if he can go. Mom says yes, but he has to be careful and stay close. Tom says okay and puts on his helmet. He takes his motor and goes to the park. + +In the park, Tom sees a big hill. He thinks it will be fun to drive his motor up and down the hill. He does not see the sign that says "No motors". He drives his motor to the hill and starts to go up. He goes very fast and feels happy. + +But when he reaches the top, he sees a policeman. The policeman is angry. He tells Tom to stop his motor and come down. He says Tom is breaking the rule and he has to go home. Tom is scared and sad. He does not want to go home. He does not want to lose his motor. + +He decides to lie to the policeman. He says he did not see the sign. He says he is sorry and he will not do it again. He hopes the policeman will believe him and let him go. + +But the policeman does not believe him. He says he saw Tom look at the sign and ignore it. He says Tom is not independent, he is naughty. He says he has to take his motor and call his mom. He says Tom will be in trouble. + +Tom feels bad. He knows he lied and he did wrong. He wishes he listened to mom and stayed close. He wishes he followed the rule and respected the policeman. He learns his lesson. He says he is really sorry and he will not lie again. He hopes mom will forgive him and he can play with his motor another day. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they want to learn how to jump in the mud. They put on their boots and go to the park. + +"Look, Sue, there is a big puddle!" Tom says. "Let's jump in it!" + +"OK, Tom, but be careful!" Sue says. "We don't want to fall down and get wet!" + +They run to the puddle and jump in it. Splash! The mud goes up and down. They laugh and have fun. + +"Wow, this is so fun!" Tom says. "I like to jump in the mud!" + +"Me too!" Sue says. "But look, our boots are very dirty!" + +They look at their boots. They are brown and sticky. They are not happy. + +"Oh no, our boots are dirty!" Tom says. "What will our moms say?" + +"I don't know, Tom," Sue says. "Maybe they will be mad at us." + +They are sad. They don't want to make their moms mad. They walk back to their homes. + +"Tom, Sue, what did you do?" their moms say. "Your boots are dirty!" + +"Sorry, mom," Tom and Sue say. "We were learning how to jump in the mud. It was fun, but we made our boots dirty." + +Their moms look at them. They see their faces. They are sad. + +"It's OK, Tom and Sue," their moms say. "We are not mad at you. We are glad you had fun and learned something new. But next time, please be more careful with your boots. They are not for jumping in the mud. They are for keeping your feet dry and warm." + +"OK, mom," Tom and Sue say. "We understand. We are sorry. Can we clean our boots?" + +"Sure, you can," their moms say. "Here, take these cloths and water. And then, you can have a snack and a hug." + +Tom and Sue clean their boots. They are not dirty anymore. They are happy. They have a snack and a hug. They thank their moms. + +"Mom, you are the best!" Tom and Sue say. + +"You are the best, too, Tom and Sue," their moms say. "We love you very much." +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. Sara likes to dress up her doll with different clothes and hats. Ben likes to zoom his car around the floor and make noises. + +"Look, Ben, my doll has a new hat!" Sara says, showing him her doll. "It is pink and has a flower on it. Do you like it?" + +Ben looks at the doll and nods. "It is nice, Sara. But look, my car has a new pin!" He says, pointing to a shiny pin that he stuck on the front of his car. "It is silver and has a star on it. Do you like it?" + +Sara looks at the car and shakes her head. "It is not nice, Ben. It is sharp and dangerous. You can hurt yourself or someone else with it. You should take it off." + +Ben frowns and crosses his arms. "No, I like it. It makes my car look cool and fast. You are just jealous because your doll is boring and humble." + +Sara feels sad and angry. She does not like Ben's words. She thinks her doll is pretty and kind. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She picks up her doll and walks away. + +"Wait, Sara, don't go!" Ben calls after her. He sees that he made her upset. He feels sorry and ashamed. He does not want to lose his friend. He takes off the pin from his car and runs after her. "I'm sorry, Sara. I was wrong. Your doll is not boring and humble. She is lovely and sweet. And you are a good friend. Can we play together again?" + +Sara stops and turns around. She sees Ben holding the pin and his car. She sees that he is sorry and sincere. She smiles and forgives him. She is a good friend too. She takes the pin and puts it on her doll's hat. "Thank you, Ben. Your pin is not sharp and dangerous. It is shiny and pretty. And you are a cool and fast friend. Yes, we can play together again." + +They hug and go back to the living room. They play with their toys and share their stories. They are happy and grateful. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were twins, but they were very different. Tom liked to play with cars and trucks, and Lily liked to play with dolls and flowers. Tom was loud and messy, and Lily was quiet and neat. Sometimes they fought over their toys and their space. + +One day, they found a big apple in the kitchen. They both wanted to eat it, but there was only one. They started to pull and tug on the apple, each trying to get it for themselves. They shouted and cried, and made a lot of noise. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You are hurting each other and the apple. Why don't you share it? Cut it in half, and each have a piece. That way, you can both enjoy it, and be happy." + +But Tom and Lily did not listen to their mom. They were too angry and greedy. They kept on fighting, until Tom bit Lily's hand, and Lily bit Tom's ear. They both screamed in pain, and dropped the apple. It rolled on the floor, and a dog came and ate it. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other, and felt very sorry. They had hurt each other, and lost the apple. They had been foolish and selfish. They hugged and said sorry, and promised to share and be kind. + +Their mom came and kissed their wounds, and gave them a hug. She said, "I hope you learned your lesson, my darlings. Fighting is bad, and biting is worse. Sharing is good, and wisdom is better. You are different, but you are also the same. You are my twins, and I love you both." +Lily likes to design things. She has many colors and papers and stickers. She makes cards and pictures and hats. She gives them to her friends and family. They say thank you and smile. + +One day, Lily wants to design something new. She looks around her room and sees her old doll. The doll has a plain dress and a sad face. Lily thinks she can make the doll more lively. She gets her scissors and glue and ribbons. + +She cuts the dress and makes it shorter and frilly. She glues ribbons on the dress and the doll's hair. She draws a big smile on the doll's face with a marker. She puts a sticker on the doll's nose. She is happy with her design. + +She shows her mom and dad her new doll. They say wow and clap. They say Lily is very creative and clever. They give her a hug and a kiss. Lily feels proud and happy. + +She takes her new doll to her room and plays with her. She makes her dance and sing and laugh. She gives her a name. She calls her Rose. Rose is a lively doll. Lily and Rose are best friends. They have fun and love each other. The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big bowl in the kitchen. It was shiny and colorful, and it had a picture of a lion on it. Tom and Lily thought it was a powerful bowl, and they wanted to use it for their games. + +"Let me have the bowl!" Tom said. "I want to be the king of the jungle and roar like a lion!" + +"No, I want the bowl!" Lily said. "I want to be the queen of the jungle and wear it like a crown!" + +They both grabbed the bowl and pulled hard. They did not want to share. They did not say please or thank you. They did not bow to each other like good friends. + +The bowl was not happy. It did not like to be fought over. It did not like to be used for silly games. It wanted to be filled with yummy food and eaten with love. So the bowl decided to teach Tom and Lily a lesson. + +The bowl slipped from their hands and fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces. Tom and Lily were shocked and sad. They had lost their powerful bowl. They had also hurt each other's feelings. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was mean to you. I should have shared the bowl with you." + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I was mean to you too. I should have let you play with the bowl sometimes." + +They hugged and said sorry. They picked up the pieces of the bowl and showed them to their mom. She was not angry, but she was disappointed. + +"You should have been more careful with the bowl," she said. "It was a special bowl that belonged to your grandma. She gave it to me when I was little. It was a powerful bowl, but not because of the lion. It was powerful because it reminded me of her love and kindness. You should have respected the bowl and each other." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for their mom. They learned their lesson. They promised to be more careful with their things and more kind to each other. They also learned that the most powerful thing in the world is not a bowl or a lion, but love. +Lily was a nosy girl who liked to see what other people had. She always wanted to go upstairs and look at her big sister's room, but her mom said no. She said upstairs was not for little girls, and Lily had to play with her own toys downstairs. + +One day, mom had to go out for a while and left Lily with dad. Dad was busy working on his laptop and did not pay much attention to Lily. Lily saw her chance and sneaked upstairs. She opened her sister's door and saw many things that she wanted to touch. She saw a shiny necklace, a fluffy bear, a colorful book, and a pretty dress. + +She put on the dress and the necklace and hugged the bear. She felt very happy and pretended to be a princess. She opened the book and tried to read the words, but they were too hard. She got bored and threw the book on the floor. She saw a box under the bed and opened it. Inside, there were many pictures and letters and cards. She took them out and looked at them, but she did not understand what they meant. She got angry and ripped them apart. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud noise downstairs. She heard dad shout, "Lily, what are you doing upstairs? Come down right now!" She got scared and dropped the box. She ran to the door, but it was too late. Dad was already there, and he looked very angry. He saw the mess in the room and the torn pictures and letters. He said, "Lily, how could you do this? This is your sister's room, and these are her things. You have no right to touch them or destroy them. You are very nosy and naughty. You have to apologize to your sister and help her clean up. And you have to remain in your room for the rest of the day. No TV, no snacks, no games. Do you understand?" + +Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. She nodded and said, "Yes, dad. I'm sorry. I won't do it again." She followed dad downstairs and waited for her sister to come home. She hoped her sister would forgive her and still love her. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to respect other people's privacy and belongings, and to be happy with what she had. She learned that being nosy can get her into trouble and hurt others. She learned that upstairs was not for little girls. +Tom is a big dog who likes to run and play. He lives in a town with many people and cars and houses.

Here, you can have him back. He is not very yummy." + +Lily was happy and relieved. She hugged her bear and thanked the real bear. She said, "Thank you, big bear.

She wants Ben to have fun with her. She thinks of a plan. She swims to the other side of the pool. She sees a big rubber duck. She grabs it and throws it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a duck!" Anna says.

We can pretend we are wearing the sweater!" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Sam, I'll try!" + +She walked to the rock and held Sam's hand. He helped her climb up and sit next to him. They both felt the sun on their faces and the wind in their hair. They pretended they were wearing the large sweater and hugged each other. + +They were happy and warm on the rock. They felt like they were in a cozy cloud. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a kayak near the lake. It is big and red. + +"Can we go in the kayak?" Sam asks Mia. + +Mia nods. She thinks it will be fun. But she also remembers what her mom told her. "Kayaks are important. You need to be careful and wear a life jacket." + +"Wait, Sam. We need to find life jackets first," Mia says. + +Sam nods too. He knows Mia is right. He does not want to fall in the water. He looks around and sees two life jackets hanging on a tree. He runs to get them. + +"Here, Mia. Put this on," Sam says, handing her a life jacket. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend," Mia says, putting on the life jacket. + +They help each other buckle the life jackets. Then they climb into the kayak. They find two paddles inside. They use the paddles to move the kayak on the lake. They see ducks, fish, and frogs. They laugh and sing. + +They have a lot of fun in the kayak. They are happy and safe. They are glad they listened to their mom and wore life jackets. Kayaks are important, but so are friends. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big sign near the swings. The sign had many words and pictures on it. Lily and Sam wanted to know what the sign said. + +They walked closer to the sign and tried to read it. But the words were too hard for them. They only knew some of the letters. They saw a picture of a dog and a picture of a cross. They wondered what that meant. + +"Maybe it means no dogs allowed," Lily said. + +"Or maybe it means dogs are sick," Sam said. + +They were not sure. They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a book and a hat. He looked modest and kind. Maybe he could help them. + +Lily and Sam walked up to the man and said hello. The man smiled and said hello back. He asked them what they wanted. + +"Can you please tell us what the sign says?" Lily asked. + +The man looked at the sign and nodded. He whispered in their ears what the sign said. He said it was a sign for a pet clinic. He said the sign meant that dogs could get a check-up and a treat there. He said the cross was a symbol for the clinic. + +Lily and Sam were happy to learn what the sign said. They thanked the man and gave him a hug. They decided to go back to their toys and play. They also decided to tell their friends about the sign and the pet clinic. They thought it was a nice place for dogs. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a lot of mist in the air. It is white and soft and cold. + +"Let's go into the mist!" Tom says. "It will be fun!" + +"OK!" Sue says. They run into the mist and laugh. + +But soon, they cannot see each other. The mist is too thick. They call out, but they do not hear. + +"Tom! Tom! Where are you?" Sue says. + +"Sue! Sue! I cannot find you!" Tom says. + +They are scared and sad. They have lost their friend. + +They walk around, looking for a way out. They bump into trees and benches and swings. They cry. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is their mom. + +"Tom! Sue! Where are you?" Mom says. She is looking for them. She is worried. + +"Mom! Mom! We are here!" Tom and Sue say. They run to the voice. They see Mom through the mist. She sees them too. + +"Tom! Sue! I am so glad you are safe!" Mom says. She hugs them. "You should not go into the mist. It is dangerous. You could get lost or hurt." + +"We are sorry, Mom," Tom and Sue say. "We did not know. We just wanted to play." + +"I know, I know," Mom says. "But you have to be careful. You are very important to me. I love you." + +"We love you too, Mom," Tom and Sue say. They are happy to see Mom. They are happy to see each other. They are happy to be out of the mist. +Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. But they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over the toys and the swings. + +One day, they see a big truck in the park. It is dark and loud. It has a sign that says "yield". Tom and Lily do not know what that means. They think it is a fun word. They run to the truck and try to climb on it. + +But the truck driver sees them. He is angry. He honks his horn and shouts at them. He tells them to get off his truck. He says "yield" means to stop and let others go first. He says they are not safe on his truck. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They jump off the truck and run away. They feel sorry for making the driver mad. They decide to share the toys and the swings. They say "yield" to each other when they take turns. They have more fun that way. They learn a new word and a new way to play. +Sam is a loyal dog. He likes to see his driver every day. His driver is Bob. Bob drives a big truck. Sam sits in the truck with Bob and helps him deliver boxes. + +One day, Sam and Bob go to a new place. It is a big farm. There are many animals there. Sam sees cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. He also sees a cat. The cat is black and white. The cat sits on a fence and looks at Sam. + +Sam barks at the cat. He wants to play with the cat. But the cat does not want to play with Sam. The cat hisses at Sam. The cat says, "Go away, dog. This is my farm. You do not belong here." + +Sam does not like the cat. He thinks the cat is mean. He jumps out of the truck and runs to the fence. He tries to catch the cat. But the cat is fast. The cat jumps from the fence to the roof of a barn. Sam cannot reach the cat. He barks louder. + +Bob hears Sam barking. He sees Sam chasing the cat. He is worried. He does not want Sam to get hurt or lost. He calls Sam. He says, "Sam, come back. We have to go. We have more boxes to deliver." + +Sam hears Bob calling. He loves Bob. He is a loyal dog. He stops barking and running. He looks at the cat. The cat looks at him. The cat says, "Ha ha, dog. You are silly. You cannot catch me. You should listen to your driver. He is smarter than you." + +Sam does not care what the cat says. He does not like the cat. He likes Bob. He runs back to the truck. He jumps in the truck with Bob. He licks Bob's face. He says, "I am sorry, Bob. I wanted to play with the cat. But the cat was mean. I will not chase the cat again." + +Bob smiles and hugs Sam. He says, "It's okay, Sam. I know you are a good dog. You are my loyal friend. I am glad you came back. Now let's go. We have more places to see." He starts the truck and drives away. + +Sam is happy. He sits in the truck with Bob and helps him deliver boxes. He does not see the cat anymore. He does not miss the cat. He only sees Bob. He loves Bob. He is a loyal dog. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a big house with a door that had a lock. They wanted to see what was inside, so they looked for a key. They saw a shiny key hanging from a tree. Tom climbed the tree and got the key. He gave it to Lily and said, "Let's unlock the door and go in." + +Lily was not sure. She said, "Maybe we should not. The house might belong to someone. What if they get angry?" + +Tom said, "Don't be scared. It will be fun. Maybe we will find something nice. Come on, Lily." He took her hand and walked to the door. He put the key in the lock and turned it. The door opened with a creak. + +They went inside and saw a big room with a fireplace, a table, and some chairs. On the table, there were three bowls of soup, three spoons, and three napkins. Tom said, "Look, Lily, someone left us some soup. Let's eat it. We are hungry." + +Lily said, "No, Tom, we should not. The soup is not ours. Maybe it is for someone else. What if they come back?" + +Tom said, "Don't be silly. They are not here. They won't mind. Come on, Lily." He picked up a bowl and a spoon and started to eat. He said, "Mmm, this soup is good. Try it, Lily." + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Tom, I don't want to. I want to go home. This house is not nice. It is dark and cold. And I hear a strange noise. Do you hear it, Tom?" + +Tom said, "No, I don't hear anything. You are just scared. There is nothing to be afraid of. Eat some soup, Lily. It will make you feel better." + +But Lily was right. There was a strange noise. It was a growl. A loud and angry growl. It came from the fireplace. Tom and Lily looked and saw a big wolf. A big, black, scary wolf. It had sharp teeth and red eyes. It was not happy. It was very angry. It said, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house? Why are you eating my soup?" + +Tom and Lily were terrified. They dropped the bowl and the spoon and ran to the door. They tried to open it, but it was locked. They had forgotten to take the key with them. They were trapped. They screamed for help. + +The wolf said, "You are bad children. You are thieves. You are not welcome here. You are my dinner." It jumped from the fireplace and ran to them. + +But then, they heard another noise. It was a knock. A loud and friendly knock. It came from the door. They heard a voice. It said, "Hello, hello, is anyone home? I am Ben, the woodcutter. I am here to bring some wood for the fire." + +The wolf heard the voice and stopped. It was afraid of the woodcutter. It knew he had a big axe. It said, "Quick, hide me. Don't tell him I am here. Or I will eat you." + +Tom and Lily said, "No, we won't hide you. You are mean. You are not charming. You are a bad wolf. We will tell him you are here. He will save us." + +They shouted, "Help, help, Mr. Woodcutter. There is a wolf in the house. He wants to eat us. Please, help us." + +The woodcutter heard their cries and said, "A wolf? In the house? That is not good. Don't worry, children. I will help you." He took his axe and broke the door. He saw the wolf and said, "You are a bad wolf. You are not welcome here. You are not the owner of this house. This house belongs to the three bears. They are my friends. They went for a walk and asked me to bring them some wood. They will be back soon. And they will be very angry when they see what you have done. You have eaten their soup. You have made a mess. You have scared their guests. You have to go. Now." + +The wolf was scared of the woodcutter and the three bears. It said, "Please, don't hurt me. I am sorry. I was hungry. I was cold. I was lonely. I just wanted some soup. And some company. And some fun." + +The woodcutter said, "No, you are not sorry. You are lying. You are not hungry. You are greedy. You are not cold. You are sneaky. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play chess. Chess was a game with black and white pieces that moved on a board. Lily and Sam learned how to play chess from their dad, who was very good at it. + +One day, Lily and Sam were playing chess in their room. Lily was winning, because she had more pieces than Sam. Sam was sad, because he wanted to win too. He tried to think of a way to make Lily lose. + +He saw that Lily was not looking at the board, but at her doll. He had an idea. He leaned over the board and moved one of his pieces to a better spot. He hoped that Lily would not notice. + +But Lily did notice. She saw that Sam had cheated. She was angry, because cheating was not fair. She said to Sam, "Sam, you are selfish! You moved your piece when I was not looking! That is not how you play chess! You have to follow the rules!" + +Sam felt ashamed. He knew that Lily was right. He had been selfish and dishonest. He said to Lily, "Lily, I am sorry. You are right. I cheated. I was selfish. I wanted to win, but I did not play fair. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Sam. She saw that he was sorry. She decided to forgive him. She said to Sam, "Sam, I forgive you. But you have to promise me that you will not cheat again. Cheating is not fun. It makes you and me unhappy. Chess is fun when we play fair and respect each other." + +Sam nodded. He said to Lily, "Lily, I promise. I will not cheat again. I will play fair and respect you. You are a good friend and a good chess player. Can we play again?" + +Lily smiled. She said to Sam, "Yes, we can play again. But first, let's put the pieces back where they were. And then, let's hug and say sorry." + +Lily and Sam put the pieces back where they were. Then, they hugged and said sorry. They felt happy again. They played chess again, and had fun. They learned that cheating was not good, and that being fair and kind was better. +Tommy did not like to go to the barber. He did not like the noise of the scissors and the machine. He did not like the way the barber pulled his hair and made him sit still. He wanted to keep his hair long and messy. + +One day, his mom said, "Tommy, you need a haircut. Your hair is too long and it covers your eyes. Come on, let's go to the barber. It will be easy and quick." + +Tommy said, "No, no, no! I don't want to go to the barber. I like my hair. Please, mom, no!" + +But his mom did not listen. She took him by the hand and walked to the barber shop. Tommy tried to run away, but his mom was stronger. He tried to cry, but his mom did not stop. He tried to hide, but his mom found him. He struggled, but his mom held him. + +They reached the barber shop and his mom said, "Hello, Mr. Lee. This is Tommy. He needs a haircut. Can you please make it easy and quick?" + +Mr. Lee smiled and said, "Hello, Tommy. Don't be afraid. I will be gentle and fast. Come, sit on this big chair. I will give you a nice haircut. You will look handsome and smart." + +Tommy did not smile. He did not want to sit on the big chair. He did not want a nice haircut. He did not want to look handsome and smart. He wanted to look like himself. He wanted to go home. + +But his mom pushed him on the big chair and buckled him up. She said, "Tommy, be a good boy. It will be over soon. Just close your eyes and think of something fun." + +Tommy closed his eyes and thought of his toys, his dog, his friends. He tried to forget the noise of the scissors and the machine. He tried to forget the way the barber pulled his hair and made him sit still. He tried to forget that he was at the barber shop. + +After a while, Mr. Lee said, "All done! Look, Tommy, you have a nice haircut. You look handsome and smart. Do you like it?" + +Tommy opened his eyes and looked in the mirror. He saw a boy with short and neat hair. He did not see himself. He did not like it. He said, "No, no, no! I don't like it. I want my hair back. Please, Mr. Lee, give me my hair back!" + +Mr. Lee said, "I'm sorry, Tommy. I can't give you your hair back. It's gone. But don't worry, it will grow back soon. And you can always come back for another haircut." + +Tommy said, "No, no, no! I don't want to come back. I don't want another haircut. I want to go home. Please, mom, take me home!" + +His mom said, "Okay, Tommy. Let's go home. But first, say thank you to Mr. Lee. He did a good job." + +Tommy said, "Thank you, Mr. Lee. But I don't like it." + +He got off the big chair and ran to his mom. He hugged her and said, "Mom, I love you. But I don't love the barber. Can we never go to the barber again?" + +His mom said, "I love you too, Tommy. But you have to go to the barber sometimes. It's good for you. And maybe next time, you will like it more." + +Tommy said, "Maybe. But not today. Today, I want to go home and play with my toys, my dog, my friends. And forget about the barber." + +His mom said, "Okay, Tommy. Let's go home and play. And forget about the barber. For now." +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a big board that they use as a table. They pretend that they are in a restaurant and they take turns to be the waiter and the customer. + +"Hello, welcome to our restaurant. What do you want to order?" Tom asks Lily, holding a notepad and a pencil. + +"I want a sandwich with cheese and ham, and a glass of milk, please," Lily says, looking at the board. + +"Okay, one sandwich with cheese and ham, and one glass of milk. Coming right up!" Tom says, writing on the notepad. He goes to the kitchen and comes back with a plate and a glass. He puts them on the board and gives them to Lily. + +"Here you go, enjoy your meal!" Tom says, smiling. + +"Thank you, this looks yummy!" Lily says, taking a bite of her sandwich. + +Tom sits next to Lily and watches her eat. He sees that the board is black and has some white marks on it. He wonders what they are. + +"Lily, what are these on the board?" Tom asks, pointing at the marks. + +"Oh, those are my drawings. I made them with chalk. Do you like them?" Lily says, showing Tom her drawings. + +"They are very nice. What are they?" Tom says, looking at the drawings. + +"This is a cat, this is a flower, this is a sun, and this is a heart," Lily says, explaining her drawings. + +"I like them. Can I draw something too?" Tom says, picking up a piece of chalk. + +"Sure, you can draw anything you want. Here, you can use this side of the board," Lily says, moving her plate and glass to the other side. + +Tom and Lily draw together on the board. They have fun making different shapes and colors. They are happy and proud of their art. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big spider on a web. Sara was scared of the spider. She wanted to run away. Ben was not scared. He wanted to look at the spider. + +"Come, Sara, the spider is not bad. It is making a pretty web. See how it moves its legs. It is very clever," Ben said. + +Sara came closer to Ben. She saw the spider and the web. She thought the web was pretty, but she still did not like the spider. She thought the spider was ugly and scary. + +"Can we touch the spider, Ben?" Sara asked. + +"No, Sara, we cannot touch the spider. The spider might bite us. We have to be careful. We can only watch the spider from far," Ben said. + +Sara and Ben watched the spider for a long time. They saw how the spider caught a fly in its web. They saw how the spider wrapped the fly in silk. They saw how the spider ate the fly. + +"Wow, the spider is very good at catching flies. It is very fast and strong," Ben said. + +"Yes, the spider is very good at catching flies. It is very hungry and smart," Sara said. + +Sara and Ben learned something new about the spider. They were not scared of the spider anymore. They were amazed by the spider. They clapped their hands and applauded the spider. + +The spider heard them and waved its legs. It was happy that Sara and Ben liked its web and its skills. It did not bite them. It was friendly to them. + +Sara and Ben smiled at the spider. They said goodbye to the spider and went back to their house. They told their mom and dad what they saw in the garden. They told them how they applauded the spider. + +Mom and dad were proud of Sara and Ben. They said they did a good thing. They said they were brave and curious. They said they were respectful and kind. They said they learned a valuable lesson. + +The lesson was: do not judge a book by its cover. Do not be afraid of something different. Do not harm something that does not harm you. Do appreciate something that is amazing. Do applaud something that is wonderful. +Lily liked to play the flute. She had a small flute that made pretty sounds when she blew into it. She liked to play songs for her mom and dad and her cat, Milo. Sometimes, she pretended that she was a fairy who could make magic with her flute. + +One day, she saw a big flute in a store window. It was shiny and had many buttons. She wondered how it sounded. She asked her mom if she could have it. Her mom said, "That flute is very expensive, Lily. We can't buy it right now. Maybe when you are older and you learn more songs, you can have a big flute like that." + +Lily was sad. She wanted the big flute so much. She believed that it would make her happy. She thought about it all the time. She even dreamed about it at night. + +The next day, she went to the park with her mom and Milo. She brought her small flute with her. She saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a big flute like the one in the store window. He was playing a beautiful song. Lily was amazed. She walked up to him and said, "Hello, mister. I like your flute. Can I try it?" + +The man smiled. He said, "Hello, little girl. I like your flute, too. Can I try it?" He gave her his big flute and took her small flute. He blew into it and made a funny sound. He laughed. He said, "Your flute is very cute, but it is not easy to play. You have to blow very hard and very soft at the same time. Do you know how to play my flute?" + +Lily nodded. She believed that she could play any flute. She put the big flute to her lips and pressed some buttons. She made a loud and ugly sound. She frowned. She said, "Your flute is very big, but it is not fun to play. You have to press many buttons and remember which ones to press. I don't like it." + +The man nodded. He said, "My flute is very complex, but it is not for everyone. You have to practice a lot and learn many notes. You have to love it. Do you want to trade flutes?" + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, thank you, mister. I want my flute back. I love my flute. It makes me happy." + +The man smiled. He said, "I understand, little girl. I love my flute, too. It makes me happy. Here, take your flute back. It is yours. And here, take this, too." He gave her a small sticker that had a picture of a big flute and the word "available". He said, "This is for you. When you are older and you learn more songs, you can come to my store and buy a big flute like mine. I will give you a good price. But only if you still want it." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, mister. You are very nice. I will keep this sticker. Maybe someday I will want a big flute like yours. But for now, I am happy with my small flute. It is perfect for me." + +She hugged her flute and ran back to her mom and Milo. She played a song for them. It was a happy song. She was happy. She believed that she had the best flute in the world. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a tall tap near the fence. They wanted to see the water come out. + +"Let's turn the tap," Tom said. "Maybe we can make a fountain." + +"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mum said not to touch the tap." + +They ran to the tap and tried to turn it. But it was too hard. They pushed and pulled, but nothing happened. + +"Help me, Lily," Tom said. "You are stronger than me." + +Lily helped Tom. She pushed harder and harder. Then, with a loud noise, the tap broke. Water sprayed everywhere. It was very fast and very wet. + +Lily and Tom screamed. They were soaked. They tried to run away, but they slipped and fell. They hurt their knees and elbows. + +Mum heard the noise and came outside. She saw the broken tap and the water. She saw Lily and Tom on the ground. She was very angry. + +"What have you done?" Mum shouted. "You broke the tap! You wasted the water! You made a mess! You are in big trouble!" + +Lily and Tom cried. They were sorry. They wished they had listened to Mum. They wished they had not touched the tap. They wished they had played with something else. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. Anna had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make up stories with their toys and pretend they were real. + +One day, Anna decided to set her doll on a swing and push her gently. She said, "This is Lily, she is my best friend. She likes to swing and sing and play with me." + +Ben looked at Anna and said, "That is a silly name. Lily is a flower, not a doll. And dolls can't swing or sing or play. They are just toys. You are ignorant." + +Anna felt hurt by Ben's words. She said, "No, you are ignorant. Lily is a beautiful name. And she can do anything she wants. She is not just a toy, she is alive. You are mean and rude." + +Ben and Anna started to argue and shout at each other. They did not want to play together anymore. They turned away and ignored each other. + +Their mother heard them and came to the garden. She saw them sitting apart and frowning. She asked them, "What is wrong, children? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Anna and Ben told their mother what they said to each other. Their mother sighed and said, "Children, you should not call each other ignorant. That is not a nice word. It means you do not know or understand something. Everyone is ignorant about some things, but everyone can also learn and grow. You should respect each other's names and toys and imagination. They are part of who you are and what you like. You should apologize and share and be friends again." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for what they said. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They agreed to play together and let each other have their own names and toys and stories. They learned to be kind and not ignorant. +Lily liked to wear pink. She had a pink dress, a pink hat, a pink coat and pink shoes. She wore pink every day, even when it was hot or cold or rainy. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the village. They walked past the shops, the park, the school and the church. Lily saw many people, but no one wore pink like her. Some wore blue, some wore green, some wore yellow, some wore red. Lily felt sad. She thought no one liked pink. + +Then, Lily saw a girl with a pink balloon. The girl smiled at Lily and said, "Hi, I like your pink dress. Do you like my pink balloon?" Lily smiled back and said, "Yes, I do. Pink is my favorite color. What is your name?" The girl said, "My name is Rose. Do you want to play with me?" Lily said, "Yes, please. My name is Lily. Let's go to the park and play with the swings and the slide." Rose said, "OK, let's go. Maybe we can find more pink things on the way." Lily and Rose held hands and walked to the park. They saw a pink flower, a pink bike, a pink bird and a pink ice cream. They shared the ice cream and the balloon. They had fun and became friends. + +Lily was happy. She learned that not everyone wore pink, but some people did. And even if they didn't, they could still be nice and play with her. She liked the village and she liked Rose. She still liked to wear pink, but she also liked other colors too. She thought pink was the best color, but not the only color. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun, but they had to be quiet. Mom was working in the kitchen and she did not like noise. + +"Look at my doll," Lily said to Tom. "She has a pretty dress and a hat. She can display her dress and hat to everyone." + +"Wow, she is very nice," Tom said. "But look at my car. It can go fast and make sounds. It can display its speed and sounds to everyone." + +Lily and Tom wanted to see whose toy was better. They decided to have a contest. They would display their toys to Mom and ask her to choose. + +They went to the kitchen and showed their toys to Mom. Mom smiled and looked at them. + +"Your toys are both very good," Mom said. "But you know what is better than toys? Being honest and quiet. You have been honest and quiet while I was working. That makes me very happy and proud of you." + +Lily and Tom hugged Mom and thanked her. They realized that being honest and quiet was more important than having the best toy. They went back to the living room and played together with their toys. They were happy and quiet. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box has a name on it. The name is "Unusual Test". + +"What is this?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Lily says. + +They open the box and see many strange things. There are balls that change color, puzzles that make sounds, and cards that have pictures and words. + +"Wow, this is fun. Let's try them," Tom says. + +They pick up a ball and toss it to each other. The ball turns red, then blue, then green. They laugh and clap. + +"Look, this puzzle has animals and numbers. Can you match them?" Lily asks. + +Tom nods and takes the puzzle. He puts the lion with the number one, the monkey with the number two, and the elephant with the number three. + +"Good job, Tom. You are smart," Lily says. + +They play with the cards next. They see a card that has a picture of a cat and a word that says "cat". They say the word together. + +"Cat. Meow," Tom says. + +"Cat. Meow," Lily says. + +They see another card that has a picture of a dog and a word that says "dog". They say the word together. + +"Dog. Woof," Tom says. + +"Dog. Woof," Lily says. + +They see a third card that has a picture of a fish and a word that says "fish". They say the word together. + +"Fish. Glub," Tom says. + +"Fish. Glub," Lily says. + +They giggle and hug. + +"We are good at this test. We know the names of the animals and the sounds they make," Tom says. + +"Yes, we are. This is an unusual test, but it is fun," Lily says. + +They put the things back in the box and close it. They write their names on the box and leave it in the park. + +"Maybe someone else will find it and play with it," Tom says. + +"Maybe. But we will always remember it," Lily says. + +They hold hands and walk home. They are happy. +Jill and Tom were friends. They liked to play with pins. They made pictures with pins on paper. They clapped when they finished a picture. They showed their pictures to the other kids. + +One day, Jill and Tom wanted to make a big picture with pins. They asked the other kids to help them.

They clapped when they finished the picture. They showed their picture to the teacher. + +The teacher was not happy. She was angry. She said, "Pins are not for playing. Pins are sharp. Pins can hurt you. Pins can hurt others. You are not popular. You are naughty. You have to say sorry. You have to clean up the pins. You have to go to time out." + +Jill and Tom were sad. They said sorry. They cleaned up the pins. They went to time out. They cried. They did not feel popular. They did not want to play with pins anymore.

They have a hairy toy bear as the client. + +"Mr. Bear, you are here because you ate all the honey in the kitchen," Lila says. "That is against the law. What do you have to say?" + +Tom stands up and speaks for Mr. Bear. "Your honor, Mr. Bear is sorry for eating the honey. He was very hungry and he loves honey. He did not mean to break the law. He is a good bear and he helps his friends. Please be nice to him." + +Lila thinks for a moment. She looks at Mr. Bear. He looks sad and cute. She likes him too. She says, "Mr. Bear, I understand that you were hungry and you love honey. But you have to ask before you take something that is not yours. That is the law. Next time, you have to prepare your own food or share with others. Do you understand?" + +Mr. Bear nods his head. He says, "Yes, your honor. I understand. I am sorry. I will prepare my own food or share with others. Thank you for being nice to me." + +Lila smiles and says, "You are welcome, Mr. Bear. Case closed. You are free to go. But no more honey for today, okay?" + +Mr. Bear hugs Tom and Lila. He says, "Okay, no more honey for today. Thank you for being my friends. You are the best." + +They all laugh and play together.

He also felt guilty. He knew he was not supposed to chase the cat. He knew he made Lily and Tom worry. He bowed his head and said, "Woof, woof. I am sorry. I was bad. I love you too." + +Lily and Tom smiled and said, "It's okay, Spot. We forgive you. You are not bad. You are just curious. But next time, be careful.

Tom saw a big dolphin jumping out of the water. He clapped his hands and shouted, "Look, mom, a dolphin! Can I touch it?" + +Mom said, "No, Tom, you can't touch the dolphin. It is not safe. The dolphin might bite you or splash you. You can only watch from here." + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the edge of the pool and reached out his hand. He wanted to touch the dolphin. He did not see the sign that said, "Do not touch the dolphins." + +The dolphin saw Tom's hand and thought it was a fish. It opened its mouth and bit Tom's hand. Tom screamed and pulled his hand back.

He looked at the dolphin and said, "Bad dolphin! You are not a real dolphin. You are a fake dolphin. You are mean and ugly. I don't like you anymore." + +The dolphin heard Tom and felt sad. It said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I did not mean to hurt you. I thought you were a fish. I'm a real dolphin. I'm not fake. I'm not mean and ugly. I'm friendly and beautiful. Please don't be mad at me." + +But Tom did not hear the dolphin. He was too angry and scared. He walked away with mom and Lily. + +The moral of the story is: You should listen to your mom and follow the rules. You should not touch animals that you don't know. You should not judge animals by their looks. You should be kind and forgiving. +Lily and Mom went to the mall. Lily liked the mall. She saw many toys and clothes and books.

I was bad." + +Mom was sad. She said, "Lily, you can't take things that are not yours. That is stealing. That is wrong. You have to give it back. And you have to say sorry to the store lady." + +Lily nodded. She gave the red ball back. She said sorry to the store lady. The store lady was nice. She said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But don't do it again." + +Lily and Mom left the mall. Lily learned a lesson. She said, "Mom, I love you. I won't leave you again. And I won't take things again." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm proud of you. You did the right thing." +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They had a big sack full of sand and some cups and spoons. They wanted to make a sand castle. + +"Look, I can pour sand from the cup like this," Lily said, showing Max how she made a tower. "It is fun!" + +Max nodded and tried to do the same. But he poured too fast and the sand spilled everywhere. He got angry and threw his cup at Lily. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily shouted, dodging the cup. "You are making a mess!" + +Max did not listen. He grabbed the sack and poured all the sand on Lily's head. Lily screamed and cried. She was covered in sand and it got in her eyes and mouth. + +"Max, what are you doing?" their mom asked, coming out of the house. She saw the sand and the crying Lily and the angry Max. She was not happy. + +"Max, you are very naughty. You cannot pour sand on your sister like that. You have to say sorry and help her clean up," mom said, scolding Max. + +Max felt bad. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He just wanted to play. He said sorry to Lily and gave her a hug. He helped her wash the sand off with the hose.

They liked to help with the animals and the plants, but they also liked to play and explore. One day, they saw a big truck on the road near their farm. It was carrying a big metal thing that looked like a bird, but with no feathers. + +"What is that?" Lila asked. + +"It's a plane," Ben said. "It can fly in the sky." + +"Wow, I want to see it fly," Lila said. + +They ran to the fence and waved at the truck driver. He saw them and smiled. He stopped the truck and got out. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "Do you like my plane?" + +"Yes, it's very cool," Ben said. + +"Can it fly?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, it can," the driver said. "But I need a place to take off and land. Do you have a big field on your farm?" + +"Yes, we do," Lila said. "Come, we'll show you." + +They led the driver to a big field where there was no corn or cows. The driver drove his truck to the middle of the field and unloaded his plane. He checked the wings and the engine and put on a helmet. + +"Are you ready to see me fly?" he asked. + +"Yes, yes, yes," Lila and Ben said. + +The driver got into his plane and started the engine. It made a loud noise and blew the air. He waved at the twins and moved his plane to the end of the field. Then he pushed a button and his plane went very fast. It lifted off the ground and flew into the sky. It was very graceful and smooth. It made loops and turns and dives. Lila and Ben clapped and cheered. + +The driver flew his plane for a while and then came back to the field. He landed his plane gently and stopped near the twins. He got out and took off his helmet. + +"Did you like it?" he asked. + +"That was amazing," Ben said. + +"You're very brave," Lila said. + +"Thank you," the driver said. "You're very kind. I'm glad you let me use your field. Do you want to see my plane up close?" + +"Yes, please," Lila and Ben said. + +The driver showed them his plane and let them touch it.

You have your car." + +Tom did not listen. He grabbed the doll from Lily and ran away. Lily was angry and sad. She ran after Tom and tried to get her doll back. + +"Stop!" Lily shouted. "That is not nice. You are a threat to my doll. You will hurt it." + +Tom did not stop. He laughed and threw the doll on the floor. The doll's head broke and its dress tore. Lily saw her doll and cried. She felt hurt too. + +"Look what you did!" Lily said. "You are mean and bad. You broke my doll. You are not my friend." + +Tom felt sorry. He saw Lily's tears and heard her words. He realized he was wrong. He picked up the doll and gave it to Lily. + +"I am sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was selfish and rude. I did not mean to hurt you or your doll. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends?" + +Lily looked at Tom and at her doll. She was still upset, but she also felt kind. She knew Tom was sorry. She nodded and hugged her doll. + +"Okay, Tom," Lily said. "I forgive you. We can be friends. But you have to be nice and share. And you have to help me fix my doll." + +Tom nodded and smiled.

They say they will not do it again. + +Mom says she loves them and kisses their bumps. She says they can play with their vehicles on the floor.

She thinks he is the best frog in the world. She thinks he is her lucky frog. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a doll, a car and a train. They were having fun and sharing nicely. But then, a mysterious man came and took their ball. He ran away very fast. Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. + +They decided to search for the thief. They looked around the park, but they could not see him. They asked some other kids, but they did not know him. They asked a lady, but she did not see him. They asked a dog, but he only barked. They were losing hope. + +Then, they saw a policeman. He was wearing a blue uniform and a hat. He had a badge and a whistle. He looked kind and strong. They ran to him and told him what happened. He listened and nodded. He said he would help them. + +He took them to his car and drove around the park. He used his radio and his siren. He asked other policemen if they saw the thief. He followed some clues and some tracks. He was very smart and brave. + +Finally, he found the thief. He was hiding behind a tree with the ball. He looked scared and sorry.

But their favorite was the penguin house. They liked to watch the penguins swim and slide on the ice. + +"Look, mom, that penguin is skipping!" Lily said, pointing to a black and white bird that was hopping on one foot. + +"Maybe he is playing, or maybe he is hurt," mom said. "Let's go closer and see." + +They walked to the fence and saw that the penguin had a bandage on his other foot. A zookeeper was feeding him some fish. + +"Hello, kids, do you like the penguins?" the zookeeper asked. + +"Yes, we do, they are so cute!" Sam said. + +"This is Pogo, he is a special penguin. He hurt his foot when he stepped on a sharp rock. But he is getting better, and he likes to skip around to show off," the zookeeper said. + +"Can we pet him?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be gentle. He is still a little sore," the zookeeper said. + +He lifted Pogo and let the kids touch his soft feathers.

She wanted to see the magic cake. + +Mom told Lily to wait until the cake was done. She said it was very hot and not ready to eat. She put the cake in the oven and set the timer. Then she went to the living room to read a book. + +Lily waited for a while. She heard the timer beep. She smelled the cake. She could not resist. She ran to the kitchen and opened the oven. She saw the cake. It was huge and golden. She reached for a piece. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. The cake was very hot. She burned her finger. She dropped the piece on the floor. She saw something strange. The piece was shrinking. It was getting smaller and smaller. It was the size of a crumb. + +Lily was confused. She looked at the oven. The cake was shrinking too. It was getting smaller and smaller. It was the size of a cupcake. + +Mom heard Lily's cry. She came to the kitchen. She saw the cake. She saw the piece. She saw Lily's finger. She was angry and sad. + +"Lily, what did you do?" mom asked. "You ruined the magic cake. You were not supposed to touch it. The special ingredient makes it shrink when it cools down. It was supposed to be a surprise for dad's birthday." + +Lily felt bad. She felt embarrassed. She said she was sorry. She said she wanted to taste the magic cake. She said she did not know it would shrink. + +Mom hugged Lily. She said she forgave her. She said she loved her. She said they could make another cake. She said they could taste it together.

Ben said. + +They ran to the chest and tried to open it. But the lock was too hard to break. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They were sad and bored. + +Then they heard a knock on the door. It was their grandma. She came to visit them and brought a big bag of cookies. + +"Hello, my darlings!" she said. "I heard you were restless, so I brought you a treat. And I have something else for you. A surprise!" + +She took out a small key from her pocket and gave it to Sara. + +"This is the key to the chest," she said. "It belonged to your great-grandpa. He was a sailor and he traveled to many places. He collected many things and put them in the chest. He wanted you to have them when you were old enough. Now you can enter the chest and see what he left for you." + +Sara and Ben were very happy and excited. They thanked their grandma and hugged her. Then they ran to the chest and used the key to open it. They entered the chest and saw many wonderful things. There were maps and shells and coins and books and toys and pictures and more.

You can't have it," Ben says. + +Anna sees Ben and Lily fighting. She runs to them. She is angry. + +"Ben, what are you doing? Why are you playing with Lily? She is mean. She wants to take your toy. She is not your friend. I am your friend," Anna says. + +"Anna, go away. I like Lily. She is beautiful. She is my friend. You are not," Ben says. + +Anna feels sad. She feels a pain in her heart. She does not understand why Ben likes Lily more than her. She thinks Ben is silly. She thinks Lily is bad. + +She takes the key from Ben's hand. She locks the heart with the key. She throws the key away. + +"There, now you can't play with the heart anymore. You can't give it to Lily. You are a bad friend, Ben. I don't like you," Anna says. + +She runs away. She cries. + +Ben and Lily are shocked. They look at the heart. They look at the key. They can't find the key. They can't unlock the heart. + +They feel sorry. They feel stupid.

They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One sunny day, they decided to have a picnic under the big tree. + +Tom helped Lily carry the basket with the food and the blanket. They put the blanket on the grass and spread the food on it. They had sandwiches, apples, cookies and juice. They said thank you to Mommy for making the picnic. + +They ate and talked and laughed. They looked at the sky and saw the sun was high. They knew it was noon, because Daddy always came home for lunch at noon. They heard his car in the driveway and waved to him. + +Daddy joined them for the picnic and gave them hugs and kisses. He said he was happy to see them having fun. He asked them what they wanted to do next. Tom said he wanted to swing high, and Lily said she wanted to slide fast. Daddy said he would push them and catch them. + +They packed the basket and the blanket and carried them back to the house. They left them on the porch and ran to the swing and the slide. They had more fun with Daddy until it was time for a nap. They were tired and happy. They said good night to the sun and the big tree. They dreamed of their picnic and their play. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Sara likes to swing on the swings. Ben likes to bounce the basketball. + +One day, they see a big box in the park. It is brown and has a lock. They wonder what is inside. + +"Maybe it is a treasure!" Sara says. + +"Maybe it is a monster!" Ben says. + +They are curious and scared. They want to open the box, but they do not have a key. + +They look around and see a man. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He has a key in his hand. He is walking towards the box. + +"Who is he?" Sara whispers. + +"I don't know. He looks mysterious." Ben whispers. + +They hide behind a tree and watch. The man reaches the box and unlocks it. He opens the lid and takes out something. + +"What is it?" Sara asks. + +"It is a...swing!" Ben says. + +They are surprised and confused. The man takes out a swing from the box. He hangs it on a branch. He sits on the swing and smiles. He swings back and forth. + +"Hello, children!" he says. "Do you want to try my swing? It is very fun!" + +Sara and Ben come out from behind the tree. They are still curious and scared, but they also want to try the swing. + +"Who are you?" Sara asks. + +"I am Mr. Swing. I travel around the world and share my swing with everyone. It is my gift." he says. + +"Why do you keep it in a box?" Ben asks. + +"Because it is a special swing. It can take you to different places. You just have to close your eyes and wish." he says. + +Sara and Ben are amazed and excited. They want to see different places. They take turns on the swing. They close their eyes and wish. They swing back and forth. + +They see mountains and oceans. They see animals and flowers. They see stars and rainbows. They have a lot of fun. + +"Thank you, Mr. Swing!" they say. + +"You're welcome, children. I'm glad you like my swing. But I have to go now. There are more people who want to try my swing. Maybe I'll see you again someday." he says. + +He puts the swing back in the box. He locks it and takes the key. He waves goodbye and walks away. + +Sara and Ben wave goodbye too. They are happy and grateful. They have a new friend and a new adventure. + +They go back to the swings and the basketball. They play and talk. They remember their swing ride. They wonder where Mr. Swing will go next. They hope he will come back. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they make too much noise. Their mom and dad tell them to be quiet. + +One day, they find a new toy in their closet. It is a big ball with spikes. It is red and yellow and green. It looks fun. They take it out and roll it on the floor. + +"Wow, this is a cool toy!" Ben says. "Let's see how fast it can go!" + +He pushes the ball hard. It zooms across the room. It bounces off the wall. It makes a loud bang. + +"Bang! Bang! Bang!" the ball goes. + +Lila laughs. She likes the noise. She pushes the ball back to Ben. It bounces off the door. It makes another loud bang. + +"Bang! Bang! Bang!" the ball goes. + +They keep playing with the ball. They make more and more noise. + +"Shh! Shh! Shh!" their mom says from downstairs. "You are too noisy! Please stop!" + +But Lila and Ben do not hear her. They are having too much fun. They do not stop. + +Their mom gets angry. She walks up the stairs. She opens their door. She sees the ball with spikes. She sees the marks on the wall and the door. She sees Lila and Ben smiling. + +"What is this?" she asks. "Where did you get this toy? It is too noisy and too dangerous! You could hurt yourself or break something!" + +She takes the ball from them. She puts it back in the closet. She shuts the door. + +"No more playing with this toy!" she says. "You have to be quiet and careful. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben nod. They feel sad. They like the toy. They do not want to be quiet and careful. + +They look at each other. They whisper. + +"Maybe we can play with it again when mom is not here," Lila says. + +"Maybe," Ben says. "But we have to be very sneaky." +Lily was sad. She had a big cut on her knee from falling down. It hurt a lot and it was red and wet. Mommy put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug. + +"Mommy, will it heal?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, my sweetie, it will heal. You just need to be careful and not touch it too much. It will get better soon, I promise." Mommy said. + +Lily nodded.

It was a special piece that could separate and join again. + +She smiled and said, "You know, this piece is like you two. You can separate and play by yourselves, but you can also join and play together. Sometimes you may have different ideas, but you can also share and compromise.

He did not like the fireworks. They made him bitter. + +"Why are you so happy?" he asked Lily and Ben, in a mean voice. "Don't you know that fireworks are bad? They are loud and scary and they hurt the animals and the air. You are silly and selfish to like them." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for Tom. They did not want to be mean or selfish. They wanted to be kind and friendly. + +"We are sorry, Tom," Lily said. "We did not know that you were cold and hungry and that you did not like the fireworks. We like them because they are pretty and fun. But we also like you. Do you want to share our coat and hat and snack?" + +"Yes, please," Tom said, in a soft voice. He was surprised and grateful. He did not have many friends. He took the coat and hat and snack from Lily and Ben. He felt warmer and fuller. He smiled a little. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben," he said. "You are very nice. Maybe the fireworks are not so bad after all. Maybe they are a little pretty and fun. Can I watch them with you?" + +"Of course, Tom," Lily and Ben said. "You can watch them with us. We are happy to share. Sharing is caring." + +They all watched the fireworks together. They clapped their hands and laughed and cheered. They felt happy and friendly.

They did not want to be ouchy and stingy. They wanted to have fun and be happy. + +They kept playing and looking for other things. Then they saw something shiny and pink in the water.
