He wished he had never been so wealthy and happy. He wished he had shut his mouth and his eyes and his ears. He wished he had never been a sailor. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a big mess. There were blocks, cars, dolls, and books everywhere. + +"Mommy will be mad if she sees this," Ben said. "We have to clean up." + +"But I don't want to clean up," Lily said. "I want to play more." + +Just then, they heard a squeak from under the sofa. They looked and saw a little mouse. The mouse had a piece of cheese in its mouth. It was trying to run away. + +"Look, a mouse!" Ben shouted. "Let's catch it!" + +They ran after the mouse, but it was too fast. It ran behind the curtains, under the table, and into the kitchen. Ben and Lily followed it, making more noise and more mess. + +"Stop, mouse!" Lily yelled. "We want to play with you!" + +The mouse was scared. It did not want to play with the big kids. It wanted to eat its cheese and hide. It saw a hole in the wall and ran towards it. + +But before it could reach the hole, Ben grabbed it by the tail. He lifted it up and smiled. + +"Got you, mouse!" he said. "You are so cute and soft. I will give you a name. How about Cheese?" + +The mouse did not like being held. It dropped its cheese and bit Ben's finger. Ben screamed and let go of the mouse. The mouse ran into the hole and disappeared. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "The mouse bit me! It was mean!" + +Lily picked up the cheese and looked at it. She shrugged and said, "Can I have it?" + +Ben glared at her and said, "No, you can't. It's mouse cheese. It's yucky." + +They heard footsteps coming from the stairs. It was their mommy. She looked at the living room and the kitchen. She saw the mess they had made. She was not happy. + +"Ben, Lily, what have you done?" she asked. "Why is everything so messy?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They pointed at the hole in the wall and said, "The mouse did it." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big field with many flowers. They want to join the field and smell the flowers. + +They run to the field and see a fence. The fence is tall and hard. They cannot join the field. They are sad. They look for a way to go over the fence. + +They see a tree near the fence. The tree has a branch that goes over the fence. They climb the tree and sit on the branch. They are happy. They can join the field now. + +They swing their legs and jump from the branch. They land on the soft grass. They laugh and run to the flowers. The flowers are pretty and smell good. They pick some flowers and make a crown for Lily and a necklace for Ben. + +They see a cow in the field. The cow is big and black and white. The cow is gentle and does not mind them. They go to the cow and pet its fur. The cow moos and licks their faces. They giggle and hug the cow. + +They have fun in the field. They join the field and the cow and the flowers. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big ball. They want to play with the ball. + +"Can I strike the ball?" Tom asks Sam. + +"Yes, you can. But be careful. The ball is very fast," Sam says. + +Tom runs to the ball. He strikes the ball with his foot. The ball flies in the air. It lands on a spot on the grass. The spot is cold and wet. + +"Oops! The ball is in the mud!" Tom says. + +Sam runs to the ball. He picks up the ball. The ball is dirty and cold. He tries to wipe the ball with his shirt. His shirt gets dirty and cold too. + +"Uh-oh! We need to clean the ball and the shirt," Sam says. + +Tom and Sam look for a tap. They find a tap near the slide. They wash the ball and the shirt with the water. The water is cold and makes them shiver. + +"Brrr! The water is cold!" Tom says. + +"Let's go home and get warm," Sam says. + +Tom and Sam take the ball and the shirt. They say goodbye to the park. They walk home with their teeth chattering. They are cold but happy. They had fun playing with the ball. +Tom and Lily are sister and brother. They like to play with toys, but they do not like to share. One day, they find a big box of candy in the kitchen. They both want to eat it. + +"Give me some candy!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily says. + +They disagree. They pull the box and shout at each other. They are very loud and angry. + +Mom hears them and comes to the kitchen. She sees the candy and shakes her head. + +"Where did you get this candy?" she asks. + +"We found it in the cupboard," Tom says. + +"It is not yours. It is for Grandma's birthday," Mom says. + +She takes the box away from them. She opens it and shows them the candy. It is not candy at all. It is soap. + +"Look, this is not candy. It is soap. It is for washing. It is disgusting to eat," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily look at the soap. They feel silly and sorry. They do not want to eat soap. + +"Sorry, Mom," they say. + +"Sorry, sister," Tom says. + +"Sorry, brother," Lily says. + +They hug each other and Mom. They agree to share their real candy later. They go to play with toys and have fun. +Sam and Ben are young boys who like to play cops and robbers. Sam is the cop and Ben is the robber. They run around the yard and pretend to chase each other. + +"Stop, robber, stop!" Sam shouts. He has a toy gun and a badge. + +"No, cop, no!" Ben shouts back. He has a bag of candy and a mask. + +Sam catches up with Ben and tackles him to the ground. He puts his toy gun to Ben's head and says, "You are under arrest, robber. You have to go to jail." + +Ben drops his bag of candy and says, "OK, cop, OK. You got me. But can I have one candy before I go to jail?" + +Sam thinks for a moment and says, "OK, robber, OK. You can have one candy. But only one. And then you have to go to jail." + +Ben smiles and picks a candy from his bag. He unwraps it and puts it in his mouth. He says, "Thank you, cop, thank you. This is a good candy." + +Sam says, "You're welcome, robber, you're welcome. But now you have to go to jail." + +Sam takes Ben by the hand and leads him to the corner of the yard. He says, "This is the jail. You have to stay here until I say you can go." + +Ben says, "OK, cop, OK. I will stay here. But can I rest for a while? I am tired from running." + +Sam says, "OK, robber, OK. You can rest for a while. But don't try to escape. I will be watching you." + +Sam sits on a chair and watches Ben. Ben lies on the grass and closes his eyes. He says, "Good night, cop, good night." + +Sam says, "Good night, robber, good night." +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they decided to make a big tower with their blocks. They carried many blocks from their room to the living room, where they had more space. They stacked the blocks as high as they could, until they reached the ceiling. + +"Wow, look at our tower!" Lily said. "It is so tall and strong!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom agreed. "Let's take a picture of it!" + +They ran to get their mom's phone, but they did not see their dad coming in from work. He was tired and hungry, and he did not notice the tower either. He walked into the living room and bumped into the tower, making it fall down with a loud crash. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Tom cried. "Our tower!" + +Their dad turned around and saw the mess of blocks. He was angry and scared. He thought they could have hurt themselves or broken something. + +"What have you done?" he shouted. "This is very dangerous and naughty! You could have hit your head or scratched the floor! You need a lecture!" + +He grabbed their hands and dragged them to the couch. He sat them down and started to scold them. He told them how they should be careful and respectful, and how they should clean up after themselves. He talked and talked, and Lily and Tom felt very sad and sorry. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw her husband lecturing the twins, and the blocks scattered on the floor. She understood what had happened, and she felt sorry for them too. She knew they did not mean to cause trouble, and they just wanted to have fun. + +She went to the couch and hugged them. She whispered in their ears that she loved them, and that they were good kids. She told them that their dad was just worried and tired, and that he loved them too. She asked them to say sorry to him, and to help him clean up the blocks. She made them feel comfortable and safe. + +Lily and Tom nodded and hugged her back. They said sorry to their dad, and he said sorry to them too. He hugged them and kissed them, and told them he was proud of their tower. He said he was sorry for being angry and loud, and that he wanted to see their picture. They smiled and showed him their phone, where they had taken a photo of their tower before it fell. He smiled too, and said it was a beautiful tower. + +They all got up and carried the blocks back to their room. They put them away in their box, and then they went to the kitchen. Their mom had made them a yummy dinner, and they ate it together. They talked and laughed, and they felt happy and cozy. They had learned a lesson, but they had also made a memory. They loved each other very much. +Lily and Tom are going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They want to see Grandma and Grandpa. They have big bags and small bags. They put the bags in the car. + +The car goes fast on the road. Lily and Tom look out the window. They see many things. They see trees and houses and shops and people. They see a big bridge and a big river. They see a big sign that says "Airport". + +Mom says, "We are almost there. We have to turn soon." Dad says, "OK, I see the turn." He turns the car. Lily and Tom see a big gate and a big plane. They say, "Wow!" + +Mom and Dad park the car. They take the bags out. They hold Lily and Tom's hands. They walk to the airport. They see many people and many planes. They hear loud noises and loud voices. They feel excited and nervous. + +They find their plane. They give their tickets to a nice lady. She smiles and says, "Have a nice trip!" They go inside the plane. They find their seats. They buckle their belts. They wait for the plane to fly. They are ready to see Grandma and Grandpa. They are ready for a new adventure. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Tom had a big red block and Lily had a small blue block. They wanted to add their blocks together and make a bigger tower. + +"Can I have your block, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"No, it is mine. You have your own block," Lily said. + +"But I want to add your block to my block. Then we can have a bigger tower," Tom said. + +"No, you can't. Go away," Lily said. She pushed Tom away with her hand. + +Tom was angry. He grabbed Lily's block and ran away. Lily cried and chased him. They ran around the room, knocking over their other blocks and toys. They made a big mess. + +"Stop! Stop!" their mom shouted. She came into the room and saw the mess. She was not happy. "What are you doing? It is time for dinner. Put your blocks away and come to the table." + +Tom and Lily stopped running. They looked at their mom. They felt sorry. They put their blocks away and said sorry to each other. They hugged and went to the table. + +Their mom had made soup and bread for dinner. She gave them each a bowl and a spoon. Tom and Lily started to eat. They liked the soup. It was warm and tasty. + +But then Tom saw something in his bowl. It was a small blue block. He had forgotten to take it out of his pocket. He had broken Lily's block. He felt bad. He showed it to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I broke your block. I didn't mean to," he said. + +Lily looked at the broken block. She was sad. She liked her block. But she saw that Tom was sorry. She forgave him. + +"It's okay, Tom. I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have pushed you. We can share our blocks next time," she said. + +They smiled and finished their soup. They learned to be nice to each other and to share their toys. Their mom was proud of them. She gave them a hug and a cookie. They were happy. +Lily and Sam were playing with their toy soldiers. They had a big battle on the rug. Lily had more soldiers than Sam, so she was winning. + +"Sam, you have to surrender!" Lily said. "I have more soldiers and they are stronger!" + +"No, I don't!" Sam said. "My soldiers are brave and smart. They will never give up!" + +Lily and Sam kept fighting. They made loud noises and threw their soldiers at each other. They did not hear their mom calling them. + +"Kids, it's time to go to the market!" Mom said. "We need to buy some food and some pretty flowers for grandma. Come on, put away your toys and get ready!" + +Lily and Sam did not want to stop playing. They wanted to finish their battle. They ignored their mom. + +"Kids, I'm not kidding!" Mom said. "If you don't come now, you will be in trouble. This is your last chance!" + +Lily and Sam looked at each other. They knew their mom was serious. They did not want to be in trouble. They decided to surrender. + +"OK, mom, we're coming!" Lily said. "But can we play again later?" + +"Sure, you can play again later, as long as you behave at the market." Mom said. "Now hurry up, we don't want to be late for grandma." + +Lily and Sam put away their toy soldiers. They grabbed their coats and shoes. They followed their mom to the car. They hoped they would find some nice things at the market. And they hoped their soldiers would be ready for another battle when they came back. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green plant with red fruits on it. They were strawberries. Ben and Lily loved strawberries. They ran to the plant and picked some. + +"Yum, yum, these are so sweet and juicy!" Ben said, biting into a strawberry. + +"Me too, me too!" Lily said, raising a strawberry to her mouth. + +But then they heard a loud buzz. A big black and yellow bug flew out of the plant. It was a bee. Ben and Lily were scared of bees. They thought bees could sting them and hurt them. + +"Ow, ow, bee, bee!" Ben shouted, dropping his strawberry and running away. + +"Help, help, bee, bee!" Lily cried, following Ben. + +The bee chased them for a while, but then it flew back to the plant. It was not angry. It was just looking for nectar. It was a harmless bee. + +Ben and Lily hid behind a tree. They were shaking and crying. They did not want to go back to the plant. They did not want to see the bee again. + +"Ben, Lily, what's wrong?" Mom asked, coming out of the house. She saw them behind the tree and went to them. + +"Mom, mom, there's a bee, a bee!" Ben said, pointing to the plant. + +"It's a big, scary bee, mom!" Lily said, hugging mom. + +Mom looked at the plant and saw the bee. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ben and Lily. That's not a scary bee. That's a friendly bee. It's a harmless bee. It won't sting you unless you bother it. It's just doing its job. It's making honey and helping the strawberries grow." + +"Really, mom?" Ben asked, wiping his tears. + +"Really, mom?" Lily asked, sniffing. + +"Yes, really. Come on, let's go and see. I'll show you." Mom said, taking their hands and walking to the plant. + +The bee saw them and buzzed again. But mom said, "Hello, bee. Thank you for your honey and your help. We're just here to enjoy some strawberries. We won't hurt you. You're a harmless bee." + +The bee seemed to understand. It flew away to another flower. Ben and Lily looked at mom and smiled. They were not scared anymore. They picked some more strawberries and ate them. They were delicious. They thanked the bee and the plant. They were happy. They learned something new. They learned that not all bees are scary. Some bees are harmless. +Tom and Mia were playing with their toy train in the garden. They liked to make the train go fast and make loud noises. They pretended they were the driver and the passenger of the train. + +"Choo choo! All aboard!" Tom said, as he pushed the button to start the engine. + +"Where are we going, Tom?" Mia asked, as she climbed into the train. + +"We are going to the zoo, Mia. We will see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants!" Tom said, as he steered the train along the track. + +They had a lot of fun playing with the train, but they did not notice that the gate of the garden was open. A big dog saw the train and wanted to play too. He ran into the garden and barked at the train. + +"Roof roof! What is this? Can I chase it?" the dog said, as he ran after the train. + +Tom and Mia were scared of the dog. They did not want him to catch them or bite their train. + +"Help! Help! There is a dog!" Mia cried, as she hugged Tom. + +"Quick! We have to escape!" Tom said, as he looked for a way out. + +He saw a tunnel at the end of the track. He hoped the dog would not fit in the tunnel. + +"Come on, Mia! We can hide in the tunnel!" Tom said, as he made the train go faster. + +They reached the tunnel and went inside. The dog tried to follow them, but he was too big. He hit his head on the tunnel and yelped. + +"Ow! Ow! That hurts! I give up!" the dog said, as he ran away. + +Tom and Mia were safe in the tunnel. They were very grateful that the tunnel was there. + +"Phew! That was close!" Tom said, as he hugged Mia. + +"Thank you, Tom! You saved us!" Mia said, as she kissed Tom. + +They smiled at each other and decided to go back to the garden. They closed the gate and played with their train again. They did not want to see the dog again. They were happy with their train and their tunnel. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and walls and bridges. They try to balance the blocks on top of each other. Sometimes they fall down and make a loud noise. + +"Look, Lily, I made a pattern!" Ben says. He shows Lily his blocks. He has red, blue, yellow and green blocks. He puts them in a line: red, blue, yellow, green, red, blue, yellow, green. + +"That's a nice pattern, Ben," Lily says. She likes the colors. She tries to make a pattern too. She has pink, purple, orange and white blocks. She puts them in a circle: pink, purple, orange, white, pink, purple, orange, white. + +"Wow, Lily, your pattern is pretty!" Ben says. He likes the shapes. He wants to make a circle too. He takes some of his blocks and puts them next to Lily's circle. He makes a smaller circle: red, blue, yellow, green, red, blue, yellow, green. + +"Look, Ben, we made a big circle and a small circle!" Lily says. She is happy. She thinks they look like flowers. She wants to make more flowers. She takes some of her blocks and puts them in the middle of the circles. She makes a yellow flower and a purple flower. + +"Look, Lily, we made flowers!" Ben says. He is happy too. He thinks they look like the flowers in the garden. He wants to smell them. He leans over and pretends to sniff the blocks. + +"Ah, they smell so good!" he says. + +Lily laughs. She pretends to sniff the blocks too. + +"Ah, they smell so sweet!" she says. + +They giggle and sniff the blocks. They do not notice that their dog, Spot, is watching them. Spot is curious. He likes to chew on things. He sees the blocks and thinks they are food. He sneaks up and grabs a block in his mouth. He bites it hard. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he barks. He spits out the block. It is bitter. He does not like it. He shakes his head and runs away. + +Lily and Ben hear the noise. They look up and see Spot. They see the block on the floor. They see the hole in the block. + +"Spot, no!" they shout. They are sad. They like their blocks. They do not want them to be broken. + +They run to the block and pick it up. They see the teeth marks. They frown. + +"Bad dog, Spot!" they say. They scold Spot. Spot looks guilty. He lowers his ears and tail. He whines. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry for Spot. They know he did not mean to hurt their blocks. They know he was hungry. They hug Spot and pat his head. + +"It's okay, Spot," they say. "We still love you. But don't eat our blocks. They are not food. They are toys. We will give you some food. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." + +They take Spot to the kitchen. They give him some kibble and water. He eats and drinks. He is happy. He wags his tail. + +Lily and Ben are happy too. They still have their blocks. They can make more patterns and flowers. They love their blocks. They love their dog. They love each other. They smile. +Ben and Lily were playing in the hut they made with sticks and leaves. They liked to pretend it was their home and they had many things inside. They had a big rock that was their table, some shells that were their plates, and a shiny tin can that was their cup. + +One day, Ben found a metal spoon in the dirt. He was very happy and showed it to Lily. "Look, Lily, I found a spoon! Now we can eat better!" he said. + +Lily smiled and took the spoon. She rubbed it with her hand, but it was still dirty and dull. "It is not very shiny, Ben. Maybe we can polish it with something," she said. + +Ben thought for a moment. He saw a rag hanging from a branch. He took it and gave it to Lily. "Here, Lily, use this. It will make the spoon shiny," he said. + +Lily thanked Ben and started to polish the spoon with the rag. She rubbed it hard and fast, hoping to see the spoon sparkle. But she did not notice a sharp edge on the spoon. It cut her finger and made it bleed. "Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "The spoon hurt me, Ben! It hurt me bad!" + +Ben heard Lily's cry and ran to her. He saw her finger bleeding and felt sorry for her. He took the rag and wrapped it around her finger. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry. The spoon was bad. It did not mean to hurt you. You will be okay, Lily. You will be okay." +Lily likes to print pictures with her crayons. She prints flowers, stars, and animals on big papers. She gives some of her prints to her mom and dad, and some to her friends. She is very proud of her prints. + +One day, she wants to print a picture for her grandma, who is coming to visit. She looks for her crayons, but she cannot find them. She asks her mom, "Mom, where are my crayons?" + +Mom says, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe you left them in your room, or in the playroom, or in the car. Why don't you look for them?" + +Lily starts to worry. She thinks, "What if I can't find my crayons? What if I can't print a picture for grandma? What if grandma is sad?" She feels a big worry in her tummy. + +She runs to her room, and looks under her bed, in her closet, and in her drawers. She does not see her crayons. She runs to the playroom, and looks on the table, in the toy box, and on the shelf. She does not see her crayons. She runs to the car, and looks on the seat, in the glove box, and in the trunk. She does not see her crayons. + +She starts to cry. She thinks, "I will never find my crayons. I will never print a picture for grandma. Grandma will be sad." + +She runs back to her mom, and hugs her. She says, "Mom, I can't find my crayons. I can't print a picture for grandma. Grandma will be sad." + +Mom hugs her back, and says, "Don't worry, Lily. I have a surprise for you. Come with me." + +Mom takes her to the kitchen, and shows her a big box. She says, "This is a gift from grandma. She sent it to you. Do you want to open it?" + +Lily nods, and opens the box. Inside, she sees a lot of new crayons, in many colors. She also sees some papers, some stickers, and some glitter. She is very happy. She says, "Wow, thank you, grandma! Thank you, mom! This is the best gift ever!" + +Mom says, "You're welcome, Lily. Grandma loves you very much. She knows you like to print pictures. She is very reliable. She always remembers what you like." + +Lily smiles, and says, "I love grandma very much, too. I will print a picture for her with my new crayons. I will make it very beautiful. She will be happy." + +Mom says, "I'm sure she will, Lily. You are very creative.

Can we make orange lollipops, mom?" + +Her mom nods and says, "Of course, we can. We need sugar, water, and orange juice. We also need a pot, a spoon, and some sticks." + +Lena helps her mom measure the ingredients and stir them in the pot. She watches as the sugar and water boil and turn into a thick syrup. She smells the orange juice and thinks it smells good. + +Her mom pours the syrup into small circles on a baking sheet. She puts a stick in each circle. She tells Lena, "Be careful, Lena. The syrup is very hot. Don't touch it until it cools down." + +Lena waits patiently. She looks at the lollipops on the baking sheet. They are shiny and orange. She can't wait to try them. + +Her mom says, "They are ready, Lena. You can have one now. But don't eat too many, or you will get a tummy ache." + +Lena picks up a lollipop and licks it.

They had a wonderful day. +Tim and Jen liked summer. They liked to play outside with their ball. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They did not like to be inside. Inside was boring and hot. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was on the other side. They did not tell Mom or Dad. They took their ball and went to the hole. They crawled through the hole and saw a big field. The field had grass and flowers and trees. They thought it was beautiful. + +They ran to the field and played with their ball. They threw the ball and caught the ball. They had fun. They did not see the big dog. The big dog was angry. The big dog did not like strangers. The big dog saw the ball and wanted the ball.

They took them inside and closed the door. Tim and Jen were filthy and unhappy. They hated summer. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big cake on a table. The cake has flowers and a bride and a groom on top. Anna and Ben think the cake is very pretty. + +"Who is the cake for?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe for a marriage," Ben says. "A marriage is when two people love each other and wear nice clothes and have a party." + +"I want to have a marriage when I grow up," Anna says. "Do you?" + +Ben nods. "Yes, I do. Maybe we can have a marriage together. You are very attractive." + +Anna smiles. "You are very attractive too. Can I touch your hair?" + +Ben nods again. "Yes, you can. Can I touch your dress?" + +Anna nods too. "Yes, you can. But we have to be careful. We don't want to make the cake dirty." + +They touch each other's hair and dress gently. They feel happy and warm. They don't see the lady who made the cake coming. She is very angry when she sees them. + +"Hey, you two! Get away from my cake! This is for my daughter's marriage, not for you to play with!" she shouts. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They run away from the cake and the lady. They hold each other's hands.

Their mom came to get them. + +"Time to go home, kids. Put on your coats and hats," mom said. + +Anna did what mom said. She put on her pink coat and hat. She was a good girl. But Ben was stubborn. He did not want to wear his blue coat and hat. He said they were too big and itchy. + +"No, mom. I don't want to wear them. I'm not cold. I want to play more," Ben said. + +"Ben, you have to wear them. It's cold and dark. You will get sick. And we have to go home. It's dinner time," mom said. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran away from mom. He hid behind a tree. He thought mom could not find him. He was wrong. Mom saw him. She was not happy. + +"Ben, come here right now. You are being naughty. If you don't wear your coat and hat, I will lock them in the car. And you will have nothing to wear tomorrow," mom said. + +Ben did not like that. He did not want to lose his coat and hat. He liked them, even if they were big and itchy. He came out from behind the tree. He put on his coat and hat. He said sorry to mom. + +"Sorry, mom. I was stubborn. I will wear my coat and hat. Can we go home now?" Ben said. + +Mom smiled. She hugged Ben. She was glad he changed his mind. + +"Yes, we can go home now. You are a good boy. I love you, Ben. And I love you, Anna. Let's go home and have dinner," mom said. + +Anna and Ben held mom's hand. They walked to the car. They were happy. They had fun in the park. And they learned to listen to mom. +Tom and Lily were sleeping in their beds. It was dark and quiet. They had a big teddy bear to hug. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a beep beep beep. It came from the hall. They did not know what it was. + +They got up and opened the door. They saw a lot of smoke. They smelled something bad. They saw a fire in the kitchen. It was bright and hot. They were frightened. + +They ran to their mom and dad's room. They knocked on the door. They shouted, "Mom! Dad! Fire! Help!" + +But no one answered. The door was locked. They tried to open it, but they could not. They cried and hugged each other. + +The fire got bigger and bigger. It came to their room. It burned their teddy bear. It burned their beds. It burned them. They screamed, but no one heard them. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they found a big box in the park. It was full of toys. They were very excite. + +They opened the box and took out some toys. Lily saw a pink doll with a dress. She wanted it. Tom saw a blue car with wheels. He wanted it. But there was only one doll and one car. They both reached for them at the same time. + +They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not share. They did not listen. They did not care. They hurt each other. The doll and the car broke. They cried. + +A lady saw them. She was not happy. She came to them and said, "What are you doing? You are not nice. You are not gentle. You are not friends. You have to go home. You have to say sorry. You have to give back the toys. They are not yours. They are for charity." + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They did not want to go home. They did not want to say sorry. They did not want to give back the toys. But they had to. They had no choice. They had no fun. They had no friends. They had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. Tom had a big truck that he liked to push around. Lily had a doll that she liked to hug and dress. Tom saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it. He was envious of Lily. + +"Give me your doll," he said to Lily. "I want to push it in my truck." + +"No, Tom," Lily said. "This is my doll. You have your truck. Go and play with it." + +Tom was angry. He did not listen to Lily. He ran to her and tried to grab her doll. Lily held on to her doll and cried. Tom and Lily started to fight. + +Their mom heard them and came to the garden. She saw them fighting and was cross. She took away their toys and made them sit on the bench. + +"Why are you fighting?" she asked them. "You have your own toys. You should share and be kind to each other." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They hugged and made up. Their mom gave them back their toys and told them to play nicely. + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They played with their toys and with each other. They were not envious anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside with chalk. They have many colors of chalk: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They draw on the sidewalk with chalk. They make pictures of flowers, stars, animals, and faces. + +One day, they find a big wall near the park. The wall is gray and boring. Anna and Ben have an idea. They want to make the wall colorful with chalk. They take their chalk and run to the wall. They start to draw on the wall with chalk. They spread the colors all over the wall. They make a big rainbow, a sun, a tree, and a house. They are happy and proud of their work. + +A man walks by and sees the wall. He stops and looks at the wall. He smiles and says, "Wow, what a beautiful wall! Who made this?" Anna and Ben hear the man and run to him. They say, "We made this! We used chalk to make the wall colorful. Do you like it?" The man nods and says, "I like it very much. You are very talented and creative. Thank you for making the wall so bright and cheerful. You made my day!" Anna and Ben smile and say, "You're welcome! We're glad you like it!" They hug the man and then go back to their chalk. They have more fun drawing on the wall. They make the world more colorful with chalk. +Sam and Mia like to play at the beach. They build sand castles and look for shells. Sometimes they splash in the water, but not too deep. They know the water can be dangerous. + +One day, they see a big boat on the water. It has a flag and a horn. Sam and Mia wave at the boat and the boat waves back. They hear the horn go beep beep. + +"Look, Mia, the boat is diving!" Sam says. He sees the boat go down into the water and disappear. + +"Diving? What is diving?" Mia asks. + +"Diving is when you go under the water and see what is there. Like fish and plants and rocks. Maybe the boat is looking for treasure!" Sam says. + +"Wow, that sounds fun! Can we dive too?" Mia says. + +Sam thinks for a moment. He remembers what his mom told him. "No, Mia, we can't dive. Diving is for big people who know how to swim and breathe. We are too small and we don't have the right things. If we dive, we might get hurt or lost or scared." + +"Oh, okay. But can we watch the boat dive?" Mia says. + +"Sure, we can watch. But we have to stay on the sand, where it is safe. And we have to watch the tide too. The tide is when the water goes up and down. Sometimes it comes close to the sand and sometimes it goes far away. We don't want the tide to take our sand castles or our shells or us!" Sam says. + +"Okay, Sam, I understand. Let's watch the boat dive and the tide move. And let's have fun at the beach!" Mia says. + +They sit on the sand and watch the boat dive and the tide move. They see the boat come up and go down again. They see the water change color and shape. They hear the waves and the wind and the birds. They feel the sun and the breeze and the sand. They are happy and safe at the beach. +Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play and share toys. One day, it was Tom's birthday. He invited Mia and other friends to his house. He was very happy. + +Mia had a big gift for Tom. It was a balloon. But it was not a normal balloon. It was a crazy balloon. It could change colors, shapes and sizes. Mia wanted to surprise Tom with her gift. She hid it behind her back. + +When Tom opened the door, Mia said, "Happy birthday, Tom! I have a special gift for you. Guess what it is!" + +Tom tried to guess. He said, "Is it a car? A book? A cake?" + +Mia shook her head. She said, "No, no, no. It is something more fun. Do you want to see it?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, please. Show me your gift, Mia." + +Mia smiled. She said, "Okay. Here it is!" She revealed the balloon. She let it go. The balloon flew in the air. It changed from red to blue to green. It changed from round to star to heart. It changed from big to small to big again. It made funny noises. It was a crazy balloon. + +Tom was amazed. He said, "Wow! What a cool balloon, Mia! Thank you so much. It is the best gift ever. How did you find it?" + +Mia said, "I found it in a magic shop. The shopkeeper said it was a magic balloon. He said it could make anyone happy. He said it was a good gift for a good friend." + +Tom hugged Mia. He said, "You are a good friend, Mia. You are very kind and thoughtful. You made me very happy. I love your gift. And I love you, Mia." + +Mia hugged Tom back. She said, "I love you too, Tom. You are a good friend, too. You are very nice and generous. You always share your toys with me. And you always make me laugh. You are the best friend ever." + +They played with the balloon. They had a lot of fun. They learned that the best gifts are not the ones that cost a lot of money, but the ones that come from the heart. They learned that friendship is more valuable than anything else. They learned that a crazy balloon can make a happy birthday. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. They had a stick for a sword and a scarf for a cape. They ran around the trees and the swings, looking for a dragon to fight. + +"Look, there it is!" Tom shouted, pointing to a big slide. "The dragon is hiding in its cave. We have to pay it a visit and save the people." + +Lily nodded and followed Tom. She was a little fearful, but she wanted to be brave. She held her stick tightly and climbed up the ladder. Tom was already at the top, waving his scarf. + +"Hello, dragon!" he yelled. "We are here to stop you from hurting anyone. Come out and face us!" + +But there was no answer. Tom and Lily looked at each other. Maybe the dragon was asleep. Maybe it was scared of them. Maybe it was not a dragon at all. + +They decided to slide down and see for themselves. They counted to three and pushed off. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They were having fun. + +But then they saw something that made them scream. At the bottom of the slide, there was a big, furry, growling dog. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was the dragon! + +The dog barked and jumped at them. Tom and Lily dropped their stick and scarf and ran away as fast as they could. They ran back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and asked them what happened. + +"We met a dragon, mom!" Tom said. "It was scary and mean. It tried to bite us." + +Lily nodded and showed her mom the scratch on her leg. "It hurt, mom. It was a bad dragon." + +Mom kissed her leg and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. That was not a dragon. That was a dog. Some dogs are nice and some dogs are not. You have to be careful around them. Next time, don't go near them without asking." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They still liked to play knights and princesses, but they never went near the slide again. They found a new dragon to fight. It was a swing. It was much nicer. +Lily and Ben wanted to bake a cake for Mom's birthday. They found a recipe in a book and looked for the things they needed. They saw a big bag of flour on the shelf, but it was too high for them to reach. + +"Let's use a chair to get it," Ben said. He pushed a chair to the shelf and climbed on it. He grabbed the bag of flour and tried to pull it down, but it was too heavy for him. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Lily shouted. "The bag is too big and heavy for you. It is dangerous. You can fall and hurt yourself." + +But Ben did not listen. He pulled harder and harder, until the bag slipped from his hands and fell on the floor. The bag burst open and flour flew everywhere. Ben lost his balance and fell off the chair, landing on the soft flour. + +Lily ran to him and helped him get up. They were both covered in white dust and coughing. They looked at the mess they made and felt very sorry. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"I'm okay, Lily," Ben said. "But I think we can't bake a cake now. We don't have any flour left. And Mom will be very angry when she sees this." + +They heard the door open and Mom's voice. They looked at each other and knew they were in trouble. They decided to tell Mom the truth and say they were sorry. They hoped Mom would forgive them and still love them. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. But today is Tuesday. On Tuesday, they have to go to school. They do not like school. School is boring and hard. + +In school, they have a teacher. Her name is Miss Lee. She is very bossy. She tells them what to do and what not to do. She gives them homework and tests. She makes them sit still and be quiet. + +One day, Miss Lee tells them to search for words in a book. She gives them a list of words. She says they have to find them and write them down. She says they have to do it fast. She says she will check their work. + +Tom and Sue do not want to search for words. They want to play. They look at each other. They have an idea. They pretend to search for words. But they do not write them down. They write other things. They write jokes and drawings and names. They think they are very clever. + +But Miss Lee is not stupid. She knows what they are doing. She walks around the class. She looks at their papers. She sees their jokes and drawings and names. She is very angry. She says they are naughty and lazy. She says they have to stay after school. She says they have to do the work again. And they have to do more work. And they have to say sorry. + +Tom and Sue are very sad. They wish they had searched for words. They wish they had not been silly. They wish they could play in the park. But they have to stay in school. They have to do the work. They have to listen to Miss Lee. They have to be good. They learn their lesson. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mountain far away. They wanted to go there and see what was on top. + +"Let's go to the mountain, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find some treasure or animals or flowers!" + +"OK, Ben, but how do we get there?" Lily asked. "It is very far and we are very small." + +"We can walk, Lily. We are strong and brave. Come on, follow me!" Ben said. He took Lily's hand and they started to walk. + +They walked for a long time, but the mountain did not seem to get closer. They got tired and hungry and thirsty. They also saw some clouds in the sky that looked like rain. + +"Ben, I don't think we can make it to the mountain. It is too big and we are too small. We should go back home before it rains." Lily said. + +"No, Lily, we can do it. We are almost there. Don't give up. We can weigh the mountain with our feet and see how high it is." Ben said. + +"Ben, that doesn't make sense. We can't weigh the mountain with our feet. That is not how weighing works. And it is starting to rain. Look, the drops are falling on our heads. We should go back home now." Lily said. + +They argued for a while, but then they heard a loud thunder. They got scared and decided to go back home. They ran as fast as they could, but they got wet and muddy. They were not cheerful anymore. + +When they got home, their moms were waiting for them. They were worried and angry. They scolded them for going too far and getting dirty and wet. They told them to take a bath and have some soup. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They said they were sorry to their moms and to each other. They hugged and promised to be more careful next time. They also decided to learn more about mountains and weighing and other things. They were still friends who liked to play outside, but they also liked to learn new things. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers that were red, yellow, pink and purple. They smelled nice and made them happy. Lily and Tom wanted to pick some flowers to give to their moms. + +They saw a big flower that was white and had many petals. It looked like a star. Lily said, "Look, Tom, this flower is so pretty. Let's pick it and take it home." Tom said, "OK, Lily, but be careful. It has a long stem with thorns. They can hurt you." + +Lily and Tom tried to pick the flower, but it was difficult. The stem was thick and hard, and the thorns were sharp and prickly. They pulled and pulled, but the flower did not come out. They got scratches on their hands and arms. They cried and said, "Ow, ow, this flower is mean. It does not want to come with us." + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was the gardener, who was angry. He saw Lily and Tom trying to pick his flower. He said, "Hey, you two, what are you doing? This is my flower. It is very special. It only blooms once a year. You are ruining it. Go away, or I will call your parents." + +Lily and Tom were scared and ran away. They dropped the flower on the ground. The flower was broken and sad. Its petals fell off and its stem was bent. The gardener picked it up and threw it in the drain. He said, "What a waste. This was the most beautiful flower in the garden. Now it is gone." He sighed and went back to his work. Lily and Tom never played in the garden again. They learned that some flowers are not for picking. They were sorry and sad. The end. +Tom and Anna were playing on the farm. They liked to see the cows, the pigs and the chickens. They also liked to jump in the hay. Hay was soft and yellow and smelled good. + +One day, they saw a big red barn. They wanted to see what was inside. They opened the door and went in. It was dark and quiet. They saw more hay and some tools. They also saw a big tractor. + +"Wow, look at the tractor!" Tom said. "It is so big and shiny. Can we touch it?" + +"I don't know," Anna said. "Maybe we should not. It is not ours." + +But Tom was curious. He climbed on the tractor and pushed some buttons. He heard a loud noise. The tractor started to move. He was scared. + +"Help, help!" he shouted. "I don't know how to stop it!" + +Anna was confused. She did not know what to do. She ran to the door and looked for help. She saw the farmer coming. He looked angry. + +"Hey, you kids, get off my tractor!" he yelled. "What are you doing here? This is not a playground!" + +He ran to the barn and shut the door behind him. He went to the tractor and turned it off. He took Tom down and scolded him. + +"You could have hurt yourself or damaged my tractor!" he said. "You should not touch things that are not yours. You should ask before you enter someone's barn. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He was sorry. He did not mean to cause trouble. He was just curious. + +"I'm sorry, sir," he said. "I won't do it again." + +The farmer sighed. He was not so angry anymore. He saw that Tom and Anna were just kids. He decided to teach them something. + +"Come on, I'll show you how the tractor works," he said. "But you have to promise to be careful and listen to me. OK?" + +Tom and Anna smiled. They liked to learn new things. They said OK and followed the farmer. They learned how the tractor helped the farmer with the hay and the crops. They thanked the farmer for showing them. + +The farmer smiled. He was glad to see them happy. He told them to be good and to play safely. He opened the door and let them go. They ran back to the hay and jumped in. They had fun. They also learned a lesson. They did not touch things that were not theirs. They asked before they entered someone's barn. They were good kids. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. They have many toys, but they want more. One evening, they go to the toy store with their moms. They see many new and fun toys. They want them all. + +"Mom, can I have this?" Lily asks, holding a big doll with long hair. + +"Mom, can I have this?" Ben asks, holding a shiny car with lights. + +Their moms shake their heads. "No, you have enough toys at home. You can only choose one," they say. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They do not want to choose. They want both. They start to cry and scream. They pull the toys from each other. They tear the doll's hair and the car's wheels. They make a big mess. + +The other kids in the store look at them. They are scared and angry. They do not like Lily and Ben. They think they are bad and greedy. They do not want to play with them. + +Lily and Ben's moms are very mad. They take the toys away from them. They make them say sorry to the store owner. They pay for the broken toys. They take them home. They do not let them play with any toys. They send them to bed early. + +Lily and Ben are very sorry. They realize they were wrong. They wish they had shared and been nice. They want to be good and popular. They promise to do better next time. They hug their moms and say good night. They fall asleep and dream of happy and friendly games. +Lily and her mom went to the subway to go to the park. Lily liked the subway. It was fast and loud and had many people. She saw a man with a big hat and a woman with a red coat. She wanted to talk to them. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. What is your name?" she asked the man with the big hat. + +The man looked at her and smiled. "I'm Sam. Nice to meet you, Lily." + +Lily nodded and turned to the woman with the red coat. "Hi, I'm Lily. What is your name?" she asked again. + +The woman looked at her and frowned. "I'm busy. Go away, kid." + +Lily felt sad and confused. She did not understand why the woman was so mean. She ran back to her mom and hugged her. + +"Mom, why did the woman say go away? I just wanted to say hi," she said. + +Her mom hugged her back and kissed her cheek. "Some people are not very nice, Lily. But you did nothing wrong. You are a friendly and healthy girl. Don't let them embarrass you. You are wonderful, just the way you are." + +Lily smiled and felt better. She looked at the window and saw the park. She was excited to play and have fun. She forgot about the woman with the red coat. She thanked Sam for being nice and waved goodbye. She held her mom's hand and got off the subway. She was happy again. +Sara and Ben were friends who liked to play games. They had many games, like puzzles, blocks, and dolls. One day, Sara got a new game from her grandma. It was a game with cards and pictures. Sara was very happy and wanted to show Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I have a new game!" Sara said. "It is very fun. You have to match the cards with the pictures. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben nodded and smiled. He liked games too. He wondered what the pictures were. He hoped they were animals or cars. He went to Sara's house and sat on the floor with her. Sara opened the box and took out the cards. + +"Wow, these are nice cards!" Ben said. He saw pictures of flowers, fruits, and stars. He picked one card and looked for the matching picture. + +"Good, Ben, you found a match!" Sara said. She clapped her hands. She picked another card and looked for the picture. + +But then, something bad happened. Sara's little brother, Tom, came into the room. He saw the cards and the pictures. He wanted to play too. But he did not know how to play. He grabbed some cards and threw them in the air. He tore some pictures and laughed. + +"Tom, stop it!" Sara shouted. "You are spoiling my game! Go away!" + +But Tom did not listen. He kept throwing and tearing the cards and the pictures. Sara and Ben were very sad and angry. They tried to stop Tom, but he was too fast and strong. He ruined all the cards and the pictures. + +Sara cried and hugged Ben. Ben hugged her back. He felt sorry for her. He wondered why Tom was so mean. He wished he had another game to play with Sara. He hoped Tom would say sorry and learn to share. He said to Sara: + +"Don't cry, Sara. Maybe we can fix the game. Or we can play another game. I have some games at my house. Do you want to come with me?" + +Sara nodded and wiped her tears. She thanked Ben for being a good friend. She hoped her grandma would not be mad at her. She said to Ben: + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I want to play with you. Let's go to your house. Maybe Tom will be nice later." + +They held hands and walked to Ben's house. They left the spoiled game behind. They decided to play a different game. A game that Tom could not spoil. A game that they both liked. A game that made them happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys in Sara's room. Sara has many toys. She has dolls, cars, blocks and books. Tom has few toys. He has a ball, a bear and a train. + +One day, Tom sees a shiny toy on Sara's shelf. It is a fairy with wings and a wand. Tom likes the fairy. He wants to play with it. He asks Sara, "Can I have the fairy?" + +Sara looks at Tom. She feels jealous. She likes the fairy too. She says, "No, you can't. The fairy is mine. My grandma gave it to me. It is special. You can play with other toys." + +Tom feels sad. He says, "But I don't have a fairy. I only have a ball, a bear and a train. They are old and boring. Please, can I have the fairy for a little while?" + +Sara shakes her head. She says, "No, you can't. The fairy is not for sharing. Go away." + +Tom goes away. He sits on the floor. He sees a lot of dust under Sara's bed. He thinks, "Sara has so many toys, but she does not take care of them. She lets them get dirty and dusty. She is not a good friend. She is selfish and mean." + +He picks up his ball, his bear and his train. He says, "I don't want to play with Sara anymore. I will go home and play with my toys. They are not shiny, but they are clean and nice. They are my friends. They make me happy." He leaves Sara's room. + +Sara sees Tom leave. She feels lonely. She looks at the fairy. She thinks, "The fairy is pretty, but it does not talk or laugh or hug. It is just a toy. It does not make me happy. Tom is my friend. He talks and laughs and hugs. He makes me happy. I was wrong. I should have shared the fairy with him. I miss him." + +She picks up the fairy. She says, "I'm sorry, fairy. You are not special. You are just dust. I don't want you anymore. I want Tom." She runs after Tom. She says, "Tom, wait. I'm sorry. You can have the fairy. You can play with it. You can keep it. Please, come back. Let's be friends again." + +Tom hears Sara. He turns around. He sees Sara with the fairy. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. I like the fairy. But I like you more. You are special. You are my friend. Let's play together." + +Sara smiles. She says, "You're welcome, Tom. You are very nice. I like you too. You are my friend. Let's play together." + +They hug. They go back to Sara's room. They play with the fairy and other toys. They are happy. They are friends. +Mia and Leo were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big box under a tree. It was brown and had a hole on one side. They were curious. + +"Mom, can we look inside the box?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. You don't know what's in there," mom said. + +Mia and Leo went to the box and peeked inside. They saw many clothes. There were hats, scarves, coats and dresses. They were colorful and shiny. They looked like costumes. + +"Wow, look at these clothes! They are so pretty!" Mia said. + +"Let's try them on!" Leo said. + +They took out some clothes and put them on. Mia wore a purple dress and a yellow hat. Leo wore a green coat and a red scarf. They felt like they were in a fairy tale. + +They ran to show mom their new outfits. Mom smiled and took a picture of them. + +"Who left these clothes here?" Mia wondered. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone who likes to play dress up. They are very mysterious," mom said. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud cry from the box. It sounded like a cat. Mia and Leo were scared. They ran back to the box and looked inside. They saw a small, black cat. It was hiding under a blue coat. It looked sad and hungry. + +"Mom, there's a cat in the box! It's crying!" Leo said. + +"Maybe it's lost or hurt. Let's see if we can help it," mom said. + +They gently lifted the coat and saw the cat. It had big, green eyes and a white spot on its chest. It looked at them and meowed. + +"Hello, kitty. Don't be afraid. We are friendly," Mia said. + +She reached out her hand and stroked the cat. The cat purred and rubbed its head against her hand. It seemed to like her. + +"Can we keep it, mom? Please?" Mia asked. + +"Well, we have to check if it has a collar or a tag. Maybe it belongs to someone who is looking for it. If not, we can take it home and give it a name," mom said. + +Mia and Leo nodded. They hoped the cat had no owner. They wanted to be its new family. They picked up the cat and hugged it. The cat snuggled with them. They felt happy. + +They left the clothes in the box. Maybe someone else would find them and have fun with them. They thanked the mysterious clothes for their adventure. They walked home with mom and the cat. They wondered what they would name it. They had many ideas. +Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two stones for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, Ben, our snowman has a shadow!" Lila said, pointing at the dark shape on the ground. "He is like us!" + +"Yes, he is!" Ben said. "But his shadow is bigger than ours. He is very tall!" + +They ran around the snowman, making their own shadows. They tried to touch his shadow, but it moved away from them. They laughed and chased it. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck, driving on the road. It was very fast and noisy. It made the snow fly in the air. + +"Watch out, Lila!" Ben shouted. "The truck is coming!" + +Lila turned around and saw the truck. She was scared. She ran to Ben, but she slipped on the icy snow. She fell down and hurt her knee. She cried. + +The truck passed by, very close to them. It almost hit their snowman. It knocked off his hat and his scarf. It broke his carrot nose and one of his eyes. It made his shadow disappear. + +Lila and Ben were very sad. They hugged each other and looked at their snowman. He was not happy anymore. He was broken. + +"Sorry, snowman," Lila said. "We wanted to play with you and your shadow. But the truck was bad. It ruined everything." + +"Maybe we can fix him," Ben said. "We can find another hat and scarf. We can make another nose and eye. We can make him happy again." + +They got up and looked for the things they needed. They found a hat and a scarf in their bag. They found a new carrot and a new stone. They worked hard to fix their snowman. + +Soon, their snowman looked better. He had a new hat and a scarf. He had a new nose and a new eye. He smiled again. + +"Thank you, Lila and Ben," the snowman said. "You are very kind. You made me happy again." + +Lila and Ben were surprised. They did not know that their snowman could talk. They were very happy too. + +"You're welcome, snowman," they said. "You are our friend. We like you and your shadow." + +They looked at the ground and saw that their snowman had a shadow again. It was smaller than before, but it was still there. It waved at them. + +They waved back and smiled. They played with their snowman and his shadow until it was time to go home. They had a lot of fun. They did not see the truck again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. But sometimes they fight over toys. They do not like to share. + +One day, Sara finds a note on the floor. It is from their mom. The note says: "I love you, Sara and Ben. Be good and share. I will be back soon." + +Sara reads the note. She smiles. She thinks mom is nice. She wants to show the note to Ben. + +But Ben is playing with a big truck. He does not see Sara. He does not hear Sara. He only sees the truck. + +Sara says: "Ben, look! I have a note from mom. She loves us. She says we should share." + +Ben says: "Go away, Sara. I do not care. This is my truck. You cannot have it. You are selfish." + +Sara feels sad. She thinks Ben is mean. She does not want to play with him. She takes the note and goes to her room. + +She puts the note on her bed. She hugs her teddy bear. She says: "I love you, teddy. You are not selfish. You share with me. You are my friend." +Lily loved plants. She had many plants in her room. She watered them every day and talked to them. She wanted to own a new plant. A big plant with red flowers. + +One day, her mom took her to the plant store. Lily was very excited. She saw many plants. She saw green plants, yellow plants, purple plants. But she did not see a big plant with red flowers. + +"Mom, where is the plant I want?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe they don't have it here, honey. Why don't you pick another plant?" her mom said. + +Lily was sad. She did not want another plant. She wanted the plant she dreamed of. + +She walked around the store. She looked at every plant. Then she saw it. Behind a big shelf, there was a big plant with red flowers. It was the most beautiful plant she had ever seen. + +"Mom, mom, look!" Lily shouted. She ran to the plant. She touched the flowers. They were soft and bright. + +"Wow, Lily, you found it!" her mom said. She smiled. She knew Lily wanted that plant. She had called the store before and asked them to hide it for her. She wanted to surprise Lily. + +"Can I own it, mom? Please, please, please?" Lily begged. + +"Of course, honey. It's your birthday present. Happy birthday, Lily!" her mom said. + +Lily was so happy. She hugged her mom and the plant. She thanked her mom. She could not wait to take the plant home and put it in her room. She knew the plant would be her best friend. +Tim and Jen were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. They also liked to turn on the tap and fill the sink with water and bubbles. + +"Look, Jen, I made soup!" Tim said, holding a spoon with some water and a carrot. "Do you want some?" + +"No, thank you, Tim. I made cake!" Jen said, showing him a plate with some flour and a banana. "Do you want some?" + +They heard a loud noise from the living room. It was their mom. She sounded angry. + +"Tim! Jen! What are you doing in the kitchen? You made a big mess! Come here right now!" + +Tim and Jen were scared. They did not want to get in trouble. They looked at each other and decided to escape. They ran to the back door and opened it. They saw the garden and the fence. They thought they could hide there. + +They did not see the big dog that was waiting for them. The dog was not patient. He did not like strangers. He barked and growled and chased them. Tim and Jen screamed and tried to run back to the door. But it was too late. The dog caught them and bit them. They cried and bled. Their mom heard them and came to help them. She was very sad and angry. She took them to the hospital. They had to get stitches and shots. They learned a hard lesson. They should not escape from their mom. They should listen to her and be good. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They throw snowballs at each other and laugh. + +"Let's go on the sled!" Ben says. He pulls the sled to the hill. Anna follows him. They sit on the sled and hold on tight. The sled goes very fast down the hill. They feel the wind and the snow on their faces. They scream with joy. + +They reach the bottom of the hill and get off the sled. They are cold and tired. They see their mom waving at them from the window. She has a big smile. + +"Come inside, kids!" she says. "It's time to rest and have some hot chocolate!" + +Anna and Ben run to the house. They take off their boots and coats. They sit on the couch with their mom. She gives them each a cup of light brown drink. It is warm and sweet. They sip it slowly and feel cozy. + +They rest on the couch and watch the snow fall outside. They hug their mom and thank her for the fun day. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in spring. Spring is when the sun is warm and the flowers are pretty. Lily and Ben like to skip in the grass and look for bugs. + +One day, they find a big rock. It is rough and gray. Lily wants to climb on the rock. She says, "Look, Ben, I can climb on the rock. It is fun!" + +Ben does not want to climb on the rock. He says, "No, Lily, the rock is rough. It can hurt you. Let's skip in the grass. It is soft!" + +Lily and Ben start to argue. Lily says, "The rock is not rough. It is smooth. You are scared!" Ben says, "The rock is rough. It is not smooth. You are silly!" + +They stop being friends. They turn away from each other. They are sad and angry. + +A ladybug lands on the rock. It is red and black. It has spots. It is cute. Lily and Ben see the ladybug. They both like the ladybug. They say, "Wow, look at the ladybug. It is so pretty!" + +They forget their argument. They smile at each other. They say, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben. Let's be friends again." + +They climb on the rock together. They touch the ladybug gently. They skip in the grass again. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to dance. They danced in the park, in the school, and in their homes. They danced to happy songs, sad songs, and funny songs. They danced with their arms, their legs, and their ears. + +One day, they saw a big poster that said: "Dance Contest! Win a Prize!" They wanted to join the contest and win the prize. They asked their moms and dads if they could go. Their moms and dads said yes, but they had to be careful and listen to the rules. + +Lily and Ben were very excited. They put on their best clothes and shoes. They went to the place where the contest was. There were many other kids who wanted to dance too. The place was very busy and noisy. + +A man with a microphone said: "Welcome to the dance contest! The rules are simple. You have to dance with a partner. You have to follow the music. You have to stay on the stage. The judges will watch you and pick the best dancers. Are you ready?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They held hands and went on the stage. The music started. It was a fast and loud song. Lily and Ben tried to dance, but they could not hear the music well. They could only hear the noise of the other kids and the people. They got confused and scared. They did not know what to do. + +They let go of their hands and ran off the stage. They bumped into other kids and made them fall. They knocked over a speaker and made a big boom. They broke a vase and made a big mess. Everyone was angry and sad. The man with the microphone said: "Stop! Stop! You are out of the contest! You are very bad dancers!" + +Lily and Ben felt very sorry. They cried and said: "We are sorry. We did not mean to be bad. We just wanted to dance and win the prize. We could not hear the music. We were too busy and noisy." + +The man with the microphone said: "You should have listened to the rules. You should have paid attention to the music. You should have respected the other kids and the place. You should have danced with your ears, not just with your arms and legs. Dancing is not only about moving. It is also about listening and feeling. You have learned a hard lesson today. Maybe next time, you will be better dancers." + +The moral of the story is: Listen to the rules, pay attention to the music, and respect others when you dance. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with many rooms. They had a lot of toys and clothes and books, because their parents were wealthy. But they did not like to share with each other, and they always fought over who got the best things. + +One day, their mother told them to play nicely in their bedroom, while she went to the market. She said she would bring them a surprise when she came back. Tom and Lily nodded, but as soon as she left, they started to argue again. + +Tom wanted to play with the train set, but Lily said it was hers. Lily wanted to play with the dollhouse, but Tom said it was his. They pulled and pushed and shouted, and made a big mess in their bedroom. They did not have any fun at all. + +Soon, their mother came back from the market. She knocked on their door and said, "I have a surprise for you, my darlings. Come and see!" Tom and Lily ran to the door, hoping it was something new and shiny. But when they opened it, they saw their mother holding a big basket. + +Inside the basket, there were two puppies, one black and one white. They were wagging their tails and licking their mother's face. She smiled and said, "These are your new friends. They need a home and a family, and I thought you would love them. They can play with you in your bedroom, or in the garden, or anywhere you like. But you have to share them, and take good care of them. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Lily looked at the puppies, and then at each other. They felt ashamed of their fighting, and sorry for their mother. They realized that they had everything they needed, and that they should be grateful and kind. They hugged their mother and said, "Thank you, Mommy. We love you, and we love the puppies. We will share them, and play nicely with them, and with each other. We are sorry for being naughty." + +Their mother kissed them and said, "I'm glad to hear that, my darlings. Now, why don't you go and play with your new friends in your bedroom, and I'll make you some cookies for a snack. And don't worry, I'll help you clean up the mess later." + +Tom and Lily nodded, and took the puppies to their bedroom. They named them Spot and Fluffy, and played with them happily. They also played with their old toys, and gave some of them to the puppies. They learned to share and to have fun together. They were happy, and so was their mother. And the puppies were happy, too. They had found a home and a family. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and white and has a loud bark. Tom and Lily are scared. They run away from the dog. + +But the dog runs after them. He wants to play too. He is not a bad dog. He is a good dog. He has a red collar with a tag. The tag says his name is Spot. Spot catches up with Tom and Lily. He wags his tail and licks their faces. Tom and Lily stop running. They see that Spot is friendly. They pet him and hug him. + +Spot's owner comes to the park. He is looking for Spot. He sees Tom and Lily with his dog. He is happy. He thanks them for taking care of Spot. He tells them that Spot is a great dog. He has a big heart. He loves to make new friends. He asks them if they want to play with Spot again. Tom and Lily say yes. They are happy too. They have a new friend. They unite with Spot and his owner. They play and laugh in the park. They have fun. They have a great day. +Tom and Jen are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Mom is in the kitchen, making dinner. She tells them to be careful and not touch the sharp things on the table. She says they are for cutting the food. + +Tom and Jen nod, but they are curious. They want to see the sharp things. When Mom is not looking, they sneak to the table. They see a big knife, a fork, and a pair of scissors. They look shiny and fun. + +"Let's play with them!" Tom says. He picks up the knife and pretends to be a pirate. He swings it around and makes noises. + +"No, Tom, that's bad!" Jen says. She is scared. She grabs the scissors and tries to take the knife from Tom. She thinks she is helping. + +But they are both wrong. The sharp things are not for playing. They are for cutting. And they cut very well. + +Tom and Jen scream. They drop the knife and the scissors. They see blood on their hands and fingers. It hurts a lot. They cry and cry. + +Mom hears them and runs to the living room. She sees the mess and the blood. She is very angry and very sad. She hugs them and tries to stop the bleeding. She calls Dad and the doctor. She says they are in big trouble. + +Tom and Jen are sorry. They wish they had listened to Mom. They wish they had not played with the sharp things. They wish they had not hurt themselves and Mom. They say they are sorry and they love Mom. + +Mom says she loves them too, but they have to be more careful. She says they will have dinner later, after the doctor comes. She says dinner will be soup and bread, not meat and salad. She says the sharp things are gone, and they will not see them again for a long time. +Sam liked to watch television. He watched it every day after school. He watched cartoons and animals and songs. He did not like to do anything else. He did not like to play with his toys or his friends or his dog. He only liked to watch television. + +His mom and dad were troubled. They wanted Sam to do other things. They wanted him to learn and have fun and be healthy. They told him to stop watching television so much. They told him to go outside and run and play. They told him to read books and draw pictures and help with chores. But Sam did not listen. He said no and cried and hid. He only wanted to watch television. + +One day, something bad happened. Sam was watching television as usual. He did not hear his mom and dad calling him for dinner. He did not hear the thunder and the rain outside. He did not see the lightning and the flash. He only saw the television. But then, the television went off. It made a loud noise and a spark. It was broken. Sam was scared and sad. He had no television. + +He ran to his mom and dad. They were in the kitchen. They were worried. They saw the storm and the power outage. They saw Sam's face and his tears. They hugged him and comforted him. They told him it was okay. They told him they loved him. They told him they had something for him. + +They gave him a big box. It was a present. Sam opened it. He saw a new bicycle. It was shiny and red and had a bell. He was surprised and happy. He thanked his mom and dad. They told him they were proud of him. They told him to try his new bicycle. They told him to go outside and run and play. They told him to have fun and be safe. Sam smiled and nodded. He wanted to try his new bicycle. He wanted to do other things. He did not need to watch television. He had a new bicycle. +Lily and Sam were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But their favorite was the ostrich. The ostrich was very big and had long legs and a long neck. It had black and white feathers and a small head. + +"Look, mom, the ostrich is stepping fast!" Lily said, pointing at the bird. + +"Yes, it is. Do you know why?" mom asked. + +"Because it wants to run away?" Sam guessed. + +"No, because it can't fly. Ostriches are the biggest birds, but they can't fly like other birds. So they step very fast to move around," mom explained. + +"Wow, that's funny. Can we step like ostriches, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, let's try. But be careful, don't step on anyone," mom said. + +Lily and Sam started to step like ostriches, lifting their legs high and stretching their necks. They made funny noises, too, like "bock, bock, bock". They had so much fun, they didn't notice a little boy watching them. + +The little boy was curious. He wanted to join them. He walked over to them and said, "Hi, can I step like an ostrich, too?" + +Lily and Sam smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Come on, it's fun!" + +The little boy stepped like an ostrich with them. They became friends and played together. They had a great day at the zoo. +One day, a little ant was looking for food. He saw a big cake on a high table. He wanted to eat some of the cake, but he did not know how to reach it. He asked his friend, a spider, for help. + +"Spider, can you help me get some cake?" he said. + +"Sure, ant. I can spin a web and pull you up to the table. But you have to share the cake with me," said the spider. + +"OK, spider. Thank you for helping me," said the ant. + +The spider spun a web and lifted the ant to the table. The ant and the spider started to eat the cake. They were very happy. + +But then, it started to rain. The rain was very heavy and loud. The ant and the spider were scared. The rain made the web wet and weak. The web broke and the ant and the spider fell to the ground. + +"Ouch! That hurt!" said the ant. + +"Ouch! Me too!" said the spider. + +They looked at the cake. The rain had washed away the cake. There was no cake left. + +"Oh no! The cake is gone!" said the ant. + +"Oh no! We wasted our chance!" said the spider. + +They felt very sad and sorry. They learned a lesson. They learned that they should not be greedy and eat too much. They learned that they should be careful and watch the weather. They learned that they should be thankful and share with others. + +The end. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big igloo with their dad and put some blankets and toys inside. They pretended it was their house and they were the king and queen of the snow. + +One day, they had a fight over who could play with the red car. Ben said it was his and Lily said it was hers. They both pulled the car and shouted at each other. + +"Give me the car, it's mine!" Ben said. + +"No, it's mine, you had it yesterday!" Lily said. + +They pulled so hard that they broke the car in two. They each had a half of the car, but they were not happy. They were angry and sad. + +They decided to separate and not play together anymore. Ben took his half of the car and went to one side of the igloo. Lily took her half of the car and went to the other side of the igloo. They turned their backs to each other and did not talk. + +They did not know that a big storm was coming. The wind was strong and the snow was heavy. It blew and blew and made the igloo shake. The igloo was not strong enough to stand the storm. It started to crack and fall apart. + +Ben and Lily heard the noise and got scared. They wanted to hug each other and say sorry, but it was too late. The igloo collapsed and buried them under the snow. They could not see or hear or breathe. They were gone. +Tim and Mia like to play with their pets. They have a dog, a cat and a bird. The dog is big and black, the cat is small and white, and the bird is yellow and blue. The bird lives in a cage, but sometimes Tim and Mia let him out to fly in the house. + +One day, Tim and Mia want to play with the bird. They open the cage and say, "Come out, bird! We want to play with you!" The bird comes out and flies around the room. He sings and flaps his wings. Tim and Mia clap and laugh. + +But then, they hear a noise. It is their mom. She is coming home from work. Tim and Mia know that their mom does not like the bird flying in the house. She says it makes a mess and it is not safe. They quickly say, "Bird, go back to your cage! Mom is coming!" + +But the bird does not listen. He likes to fly and sing. He does not want to go back to his cage. He flies to the window and sees a brown tree. He thinks, "I want to go to the tree. It looks fun and green." + +He flies out of the window and goes to the tree. He sees other birds there. They are brown and red and green. They say, "Hello, bird! Who are you? Where do you come from?" The bird says, "I am a bird. I come from a house. I have a cage and two friends. They are Tim and Mia. They play with me." + +The other birds say, "That sounds nice. But why did you leave your cage and your friends? Don't you miss them?" The bird says, "I wanted to see the tree and the sky. I wanted to fly and sing with you. I don't miss my cage and my friends. They are boring and loud." + +But then, he hears another noise. It is Tim and Mia. They are looking for him. They say, "Bird, where are you? Come back to us! We love you! We are sorry we tried to make you stay in your cage. You can fly in the house sometimes. Please, come back!" + +The bird hears them and feels sad. He remembers how they played with him and fed him and hugged him. He thinks, "Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I do miss my cage and my friends. They are not boring and loud. They are fun and kind. They are my family." + +He flies back to the window and sees Tim and Mia. They see him and smile. They say, "Bird, you are back! We are so happy! We were worried about you!" The bird says, "I am back. I am sorry I left. I was curious and silly. I love you too. Can I stay with you?" + +Tim and Mia say, "Of course you can stay with us. You are our pet and our friend. We will always take care of you. But please, don't fly away again. It is dangerous and scary. We don't want to lose you." The bird says, "I won't fly away again. I promise. I want to stay with you. You are my home." + +They hug the bird and take him back to his cage. They give him some seeds and water and a toy. The bird sings and flaps his wings. He is happy. He thinks, "I have the best of both worlds. I have a cage and a tree. I have a house and a sky. I have Tim and Mia and the other birds. I have everything I need." +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the bushes. They saw a big bush with many flowers and bees. They wanted to see the bees up close. + +"Look, Tom, the bees are making honey!" Lily said. + +"Can we have some?" Tom asked. + +They went closer to the bush and tried to reach for the flowers. But the bees did not like that. They buzzed and stung and chased Lily and Tom away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Tom cried. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"What happened, my darlings?" Mom asked. + +"The bees hurt us!" Lily and Tom said. + +Mom hugged them and put some ice on their stings. She told them that the bees were harmless, but they did not like to be disturbed. She said that the bees were important for the flowers and the garden. She said that they should respect the bees and not touch their bush. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily and Tom said. + +"It's okay, my loves," Mom said. "You didn't know. But now you do. Can you say sorry to the bees?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They went back to the bush, but this time they stayed far away. They said sorry to the bees and thanked them for the honey. They hoped that the bees would forgive them and restore their friendship. They decided to play somewhere else and leave the bees in peace. +Sara and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. Sometimes they found oysters, which were big and hard and had a pearl inside. Mom and dad told them to be careful with oysters, because they could cut their fingers. + +One day, Sara and Ben saw a big oyster on the shore. They ran to it and tried to open it. They wanted to see the pearl. They pulled and pushed and twisted, but the oyster was too strong. They got angry and frustrated. + +"Let me try!" Ben said. He grabbed the oyster and hit it with a rock. The oyster cracked open, but the rock bounced back and hit Ben in the nose. Ben cried out in pain and dropped the oyster. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Sara asked. She saw blood on his nose and felt sorry for him. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ben said. He was scared and sad. He hugged Sara and sobbed. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. They saw Ben's nose and the broken oyster. They were worried and angry. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Mom asked. She took a tissue and wiped his nose. + +"I wanted the pearl!" Ben said. He pointed at the oyster. + +"Ben, that was very careless of you!" Dad said. He picked up the oyster and looked inside. "There is no pearl in this oyster. You hurt yourself for nothing." + +Sara and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They said they were sorry to mom and dad. Mom and dad hugged them and said they loved them, but they had to be more careful and listen to them. They took them to the car and drove to the doctor. Sara and Ben learned their lesson and never played with oysters again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big ball on the grass. It was red and shiny and round. + +"Let's play with the ball!" Anna said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran to the ball and took turns to kick it and throw it. They had fun. But then they saw a boy coming. He was bigger and older than them. He looked angry. + +"That's my ball!" he shouted. "Give it back!" + +Anna and Ben were scared. They did not want to make the boy mad. They tried to give him the ball. But he was not nice. He pushed Anna and grabbed the ball. He laughed and ran away. + +Anna fell down and cried. Ben was mad. He wanted to help Anna. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up and ran after the boy. He caught up with him and struck him with the stick. The boy dropped the ball and cried. + +"Leave us alone!" Ben said. "You are mean!" + +Anna got up and ran to Ben. She hugged him and thanked him. She was proud of him. He was brave and strong. He gave her the ball and they walked back to the park. + +They saw a lady waiting for them. She was their mom. She smiled and waved. + +"Hi, kids!" she said. "Did you have fun?" + +"Yes, mom!" Anna and Ben said. + +They told her what happened. She was glad they were OK. She was proud of them too. She gave them a big hug and a kiss. + +"Let's go home," she said. "You are welcome to play with the ball anytime. But be careful of mean boys." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They held their mom's hand and the ball. They were happy. They had a good day. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very tired. + +"Let's rest for a bit," Sara said. She found a bench under a big tree. She sat down and took a sip of her juice. + +"OK," Ben said. He followed Sara and sat next to her. He had a bottle of water. He drank some and then looked around. + +He saw a shiny bell hanging from a branch. It was red and gold and made a nice sound when the wind blew. He wanted to touch it and make it ring. + +"Look, Sara, a bell!" he said. He pointed at the bell. + +Sara looked up and saw the bell. She smiled. She knew who put it there. It was Mr. Lee, the old man who lived next to the park. He was very kind and thoughtful. He liked to make things for the children. + +"That's Mr. Lee's bell," she said. "He made it for us. He said it was a gift to make us happy." + +"Wow, that's nice of him," Ben said. He felt grateful and curious. He wanted to meet Mr. Lee and thank him. + +"Can we go and say hi to him?" he asked Sara. + +"Sure, let's go," Sara said. She finished her juice and got up. She took Ben's hand and they walked to Mr. Lee's house. They rang the doorbell and waited. + +Mr. Lee opened the door and smiled. He recognized Sara and Ben. He invited them in and gave them some cookies. He was happy to see them. + +"Hello, Sara and Ben," he said. "Did you enjoy the park?" + +"Yes, we did," Sara said. "And we saw your bell. It's very pretty and sounds lovely. Thank you for making it for us." + +"You're very welcome," Mr. Lee said. "I'm glad you like it. I made it because I wanted to share some joy with you. You are very sweet and polite children." + +"Thank you, Mr. Lee," Ben said. "You are very thoughtful and generous. We like you a lot." + +They hugged Mr. Lee and ate their cookies. They talked and laughed for a while. They felt happy and warm. They had a new friend. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the river. They had a raft. The raft was big and yellow. They put the raft in the water and climbed on it. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Ben said. He had a stick. He used the stick to push the raft. Lily had a hat. She put the hat on her head. She liked the sun. The sun was mild and warm. + +They saw a duck. The duck was swimming near the raft. The duck had a green head and a brown body. It quacked at them. + +"Hello, duck!" Lily said. She reached out her hand. She wanted to touch the duck. The duck came closer. It nibbled her fingers. Lily giggled. + +"Can I kiss the duck?" Lily asked Ben. + +Ben shook his head. "No, no, no. Ducks don't like kisses. They like bread. Do you have bread?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, no, no. I don't have bread. I have a cookie. Can I give the duck a cookie?" + +Ben nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. You can give the duck a cookie. But be careful. Ducks can bite." + +Lily broke the cookie in half. She gave one half to Ben and one half to the duck. The duck took the cookie and ate it. It quacked again. + +"Thank you, duck!" Lily said. She smiled. She was happy. She gave Ben a kiss. Ben smiled too. He was happy. They hugged. + +They played with the duck for a while. Then they said goodbye. They pushed the raft back to the shore. They got off the raft and dried themselves. They took the raft and the stick and the hat and the cookie. They went home. They had a fun day. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big hole in the ground near her house. It was a drain that carried away rain water. Lily wanted to see what was inside the drain, so she went closer and closer. + +"Be careful, Lily!" her brother Tom shouted. "Don't go near the drain, it's dangerous! You might fall in or get stuck!" + +But Lily did not mind Tom. She thought he was just scared and boring. She wanted to have fun and learn new things. She reached the edge of the drain and looked down. She saw some dark water and some shiny things. + +"Wow, what are those?" she wondered. She leaned over the drain and stretched her hand to touch them. But as she did, she lost her balance and slipped. She screamed as she fell into the drain. + +Tom heard her scream and ran to help her. He grabbed a long stick and reached it to Lily. "Hold on, Lily, I'll pull you out!" he said. + +Lily was scared and wet and cold. She grabbed the stick and Tom pulled her out of the drain. She was covered in mud and trash and smelled bad. She started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I'm sorry!" she sobbed. "I should have minded you. You were right, the drain was dangerous. I was silly and foolish." + +Tom hugged her and comforted her. "It's okay, Lily, I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be more careful next time. Don't be too curious about things that can hurt you. And always listen to your big brother, he loves you and wants to protect you." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She learned her lesson and never went near the drain again. She still liked to explore, but she was more wise and cautious. And she always minded Tom, because he was her best friend. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a huge slide. Sara wanted to go on it, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Sara said. "You just have to accept the challenge and be brave." + +Ben shook his head. "No, Sara, it is too high and too fast. I don't want to go on it. You can go by yourself." + +Sara frowned. She did not like to play alone. She wanted Ben to join her. She had an idea. + +"Look, Ben, there is a buckle on the slide. You can use it to hold on tight. It will make you feel safe and secure. See, I will show you." Sara climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She fastened the buckle around her waist and smiled. "See, Ben, it is easy. Now you try." + +Ben looked at Sara. He saw that she was happy and not afraid. He wanted to be like her. He took a deep breath and climbed up the ladder. He sat on the slide and fastened the buckle around his waist. He felt a little bit better. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Sara asked. + +"Yes, Sara, I am ready," Ben said. + +They both pushed off and slid down the slide. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and screamed with joy. They reached the bottom and jumped off. They hugged each other. + +"That was awesome, Sara!" Ben said. + +"That was awesome, Ben!" Sara said. "You did it! You accepted the challenge and were brave. I am proud of you." + +They ran back to the ladder and climbed up again. They wanted to go on the slide again and again. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Sara and Tom were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They liked to play with their toys, read books, and go to the park. They were happy and had a good life. + +One day, a mean man came to their house and took their mom and dad away. He said they had to work for him and give him all their money. He locked them in a dark and dirty place. Sara and Tom were very sad and scared. They had no one to take care of them. + +They ran away from the big house and looked for help. They met a kind lady who lived in a small hut. She gave them food and clothes and a warm bed. She said she would help them find their mom and dad. She was very nice and had a sweet smile. + +"Who are you?" Sara asked the lady. + +"I am Anna. I used to have a family too, but the mean man took them away. He is very bad and makes many people suffer. He has a bitter heart and does not care about anyone. He thinks he can lead the world with his power and greed." + +"That is not fair!" Tom said. "We want our mom and dad back. We want to be happy again." + +"I know, my dears. I want that too. But we are not alone. There are many people who want to stop the mean man and free the people he has taken. They are brave and strong and have a good heart. They have a plan to fight him and his army. They need our help." + +"How can we help?" Sara and Tom asked. + +"We can join them and follow their lead. We can use our skills and our courage and our hope. We can work together and make a difference. We can change our life and the life of others. Are you ready?" + +"Yes, we are!" Sara and Tom said. + +They hugged Anna and thanked her for her kindness. They packed their bags and followed her to the secret place where the people who wanted to stop the mean man were. They were ready to face the challenge and to find their mom and dad. They were ready to make their life better. +Anna loved to sing. She had a microphone that her dad gave her for her birthday. She liked to polish it with a cloth and make it shiny. She pretended she was a star on a big stage. + +One day, she saw a new boy in her class. His name was Leo. He looked sad and scared. He did not talk to anyone. Anna wanted to be his friend. She thought maybe he liked to sing too. + +She went to him and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to play with me?" Leo shook his head and looked away. Anna did not give up. She said, "Do you like to sing? I have a microphone. You can use it if you want." She held out her microphone to him. + +Leo looked at the microphone. He liked to sing, but he was shy. He did not know if he could trust Anna. He saw that the microphone was very shiny and clean. He thought that Anna must take good care of it. He thought that maybe she was a nice and compassionate girl. + +He reached out and took the microphone. He said, "Thank you. I'm Leo. I like to sing, but I'm new here. I don't have any friends." Anna smiled and said, "You have me. I'm your friend. Come on, let's sing together." She took his hand and led him to a corner of the room. They sang their favorite songs and had fun. Leo felt happy and less scared. Anna felt happy and proud. They became good friends. +Jen and Tom were camping with their mom and dad. They had a big tent, a fire, and some marshmallows. They liked camping very much. It was fun and lovely. + +But when it was night, Jen and Tom felt scared. It was dark and they heard strange noises. They did not want to sleep in the tent. They wanted to go home. + +"Mom, Dad, can we go home?" they asked. + +"No, sweeties, we are staying here for the night. It is safe and cozy in the tent. Don't be afraid," mom and dad said. + +"But we can't see anything. And we hear scary things," Jen and Tom said. + +Mom and dad smiled. They gave Jen and Tom a flashlight. They said, "This is a flashlight. It makes light. You can use it to see in the dark. And the noises are just animals. They won't hurt you. They are resting too." + +Jen and Tom took the flashlight. They turned it on and off. They saw the light. They liked the flashlight. It made them feel better. + +They said, "Thank you, mom and dad. We are sorry we were scared. We will try to sleep now." + +Mom and dad hugged them. They said, "You're welcome, Jen and Tom. We love you. Good night." + +Jen and Tom snuggled in their sleeping bags. They held the flashlight. They closed their eyes. They rested. They dreamed of lovely things. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play on the couch. They had many toys and books that they shared. One day, their mom gave them a rare gift: a big teddy bear that could talk. The twins were very happy and thanked their mom. + +They took the teddy bear to the couch and hugged it. The teddy bear said, "Hello, I am your new friend. What are your names?" Ben and Mia told him their names and asked him his. The teddy bear said, "I don't have a name. You can give me one." + +Ben and Mia thought hard. They wanted to give the teddy bear a good name. Ben said, "How about Bob?" Mia said, "No, that's too boring. How about Lily?" The teddy bear said, "I don't like those names. They are not special enough for me." + +Ben and Mia felt sad. They tried to think of more names, but the teddy bear did not like any of them. He said, "You are not good at naming. You are not good at anything. You are not my friends. You are mean and stupid." + +Ben and Mia started to cry. They did not understand why the teddy bear was so rude. They wanted to be his friends. They said, "Please, don't say that. We are sorry. We like you. We want to play with you." + +The teddy bear said, "Too late. I don't want to play with you. I want to play with someone else. Someone who can give me a better name. Someone who is smart and nice. Goodbye." He jumped off the couch and ran out of the door. + +Ben and Mia ran after him, but he was too fast. They lost him in the street. They never saw him again. They went back to the couch and cried. They wished they had never thanked their mom for the rare gift. They wished they had never met the teddy bear. They wished they had their old toys and books back. They were very unhappy. The end. +Anna loved to swim. She had a big pool in her backyard. She liked to splash and dive and float. She also loved her dog, Max. Max was a lab. He was black and furry and friendly. He liked to swim with Anna. + +One day, Anna and Max were swimming in the pool. Anna saw a ball on the other side. She wanted to play with it. She called to Max. "Max, come with me! Let's get the ball!" She swam to the ball. + +But Max did not follow her. He saw a squirrel on the fence. He wanted to chase it. He barked and jumped out of the pool. He ran to the fence. + +Anna got the ball. She looked for Max. She did not see him. She felt sad and scared. She called to Max. "Max, where are you? Come back to me!" + +Max heard Anna. He stopped barking. He looked at the squirrel. He looked at Anna. He had to choose. He loved Anna. He was an honest dog. He left the squirrel. He ran back to the pool. He jumped in and swam to Anna. + +Anna was happy to see Max. She hugged him and gave him the ball. "Max, you are a good dog. You are my best friend. I love you!" She said. + +Max wagged his tail. He licked Anna's face. He loved her too. He was glad he came back to her. They played with the ball and had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they are hungry. They go to the kitchen and see a big bowl of cheese on the table. + +"Wow, cheese!" Tom says. "I love cheese. Can we have some?" + +"Yes, let's have some cheese," Lily says. "But we have to share. We can't eat it all." + +They take some cheese and put it on their plates. They eat it with bread and juice. They are happy. + +But then, they see a mouse. The mouse is sneaky. It runs to the bowl of cheese and tries to take some. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom shouts. "That's our cheese. Go away, mouse!" + +The mouse is scared. It drops the cheese and runs away. But it is also smart. It waits until Tom and Lily are not looking. Then, it comes back and takes more cheese. + +"Look, the mouse is back!" Lily says. "It is taking our cheese. We have to stop it." + +They think of a plan. They find a box and a stick. They put some cheese in the box and prop it up with the stick. They tie a string to the stick and hide behind the sofa. + +They wait for the mouse. The mouse smells the cheese. It goes to the box and crawls inside. It sees the cheese and starts to eat it. + +"Now!" Tom says. He pulls the string. The stick falls and the box closes. The mouse is trapped. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lily says. "We caught the mouse. We are so smart." + +They take the box and the mouse outside. They let the mouse go in the garden. + +"Bye, mouse," Tom says. "You can have some cheese, but not all of it. And don't come back to our kitchen." + +The mouse nods and runs away. Tom and Lily go back to the kitchen. They finish their cheese and play some more. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a new path in the woods behind their house. They wanted to see where it went, so they followed it. + +The path was narrow and twisty, and it had many flowers and bugs on both sides. Lily and Ben stopped to examine them. They saw red roses, yellow daisies, blue butterflies, and green beetles. They were very pretty and delicate. + +But Ben was not careful. He stepped on some flowers and broke them. He picked up some bugs and squeezed them. He did not listen to Lily, who told him to be gentle and respectful. He just wanted to have fun. + +Soon, the path led them to a pond. There, they saw a big frog sitting on a lily pad. Ben thought it was funny, and he threw a stone at it. The frog jumped into the water, and the lily pad sank. Lily was sad, and she scolded Ben. + +"Why did you do that?" she asked. "You hurt the frog and the lily pad. You hurt the flowers and the bugs. You are not nice to nature. Nature is not a toy. You should be kind and careful, or you will make everything unhappy." + +Ben felt sorry. He realized he had been mean and selfish. He apologized to Lily, and to the frog, and to the flowers, and to the bugs. He promised to be more gentle and respectful from then on. + +Lily and Ben hugged, and they decided to go back home. They left the path as they found it, and they thanked nature for letting them see its beauty. They learned that nature is delicate, and that they should examine it with love and care. +Lily and Max were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to pretend that their dolls were friends and had adventures. Lily had a cute doll with long hair and a pink dress. Max had a cop doll with a hat and a badge. + +"Hello, I am Cop. I am here to help you," Max said in a deep voice, making his doll talk. + +"Hi, I am Lily. I am having a tea party. Do you want some tea?" Lily said in a high voice, making her doll talk. + +"Yes, please. Tea sounds good," Max said, making his doll nod. + +They were having fun, until they heard a loud noise from outside. It was a big truck that was honking and making smoke. The truck was disturbing the birds and the people on the street. + +"What is that?" Lily asked, looking out the window. + +"It is a bad truck. It is making too much noise and dirt. It is disturbing everyone," Max said, frowning. + +"We should stop it. Cop can stop it. He is brave and strong," Lily said, holding her doll. + +"OK, let's go. Cop will save the day," Max said, holding his doll. + +They ran outside, holding their dolls. They saw the truck driver, who was wearing a dirty shirt and a cap. He was laughing and throwing cans out the window. + +"Hey, you! Stop that! You are disturbing everyone! You are breaking the rules!" Max shouted, making his doll wave. + +The truck driver looked at them and saw their dolls. He thought they were funny and cute. He stopped laughing and smiled. + +"Sorry, kids. I didn't mean to disturb you. I was just having some fun. Here, have a can of soda," he said, tossing them a can. + +"Thank you, but no thank you. Soda is bad for you. It makes your teeth rot and your tummy hurt. You should drink water instead," Lily said, making her doll shake her head. + +"Wow, you are smart and polite. You are right, soda is bad for me. I should drink water instead. And I should stop honking and making smoke. I should be quiet and clean. You are good kids. You taught me a lesson. Thank you," he said, nodding. + +"You are welcome. We are glad you learned your lesson. We hope you have a nice day. Bye," they said, waving. + +They ran back to the living room, happy and proud. They hugged their dolls and continued their tea party. + +"Good job, Cop. You stopped the bad truck. You are a hero," Lily said, making her doll smile. + +"Thank you, Lily. You helped me a lot. You are a good friend," Max said, making his doll hug. + +They smiled and laughed. They were not disturbed anymore. They were happy. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their boat in the pond. They made the boat go fast and slow, and pretended to be pirates and sailors. They had a lot of fun with their boat. + +One day, a big wind came and blew their boat away. They ran after it, but it was too far. They could not catch it. They felt sad and angry. They wanted their boat back. + +They saw a man with a big net. He was fishing in the pond. They asked him, "Can you help us? Our boat is gone. The wind took it." + +The man looked at them and smiled. He said, "Sure, I can help you. I have a helpful net. Maybe I can catch your boat." He threw his net into the pond and waited. + +Soon, he pulled his net out. He had caught their boat! He gave it to Ben and Lily. They were very happy. They thanked the man and hugged their boat. + +The man said, "You're welcome. I'm glad I could help you. Remember, sometimes things disappear, but they can come back. And it's always good to ask for help when you need it." He waved goodbye and went back to fishing. + +Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They learned that they should not give up when they lose something. They learned that there are helpful people who can help them. They learned to be thankful and kind. They played with their boat again, but this time, they held it tight. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, eat ice cream, and watch cartoons. They also liked to pretend they were married. They would wear their parents' hats and scarves and say "I do" to each other. + +One day, they decided to be more adventurous. They wanted to go to the zoo and see the lions and tigers. They asked their moms if they could go, and their moms said yes, but they had to stay close and be careful. + +At the zoo, Lily and Ben were very excited. They saw the monkeys, the elephants, and the giraffes. They also saw the lions and tigers, but they were behind a big fence. Lily and Ben wanted to see them better, so they climbed on a bench and leaned over the fence. + +"Wow, they are so big and scary!" Lily said. + +"But they are also so beautiful and fluffy!" Ben said. + +He reached out his hand to touch the tiger's fur. He thought the tiger would like it. + +But the tiger did not like it. The tiger growled and bit Ben's hand. Ben screamed and pulled back his hand. It was bleeding and hurting. + +Lily and Ben's moms heard the scream and ran to them. They saw what happened and were very scared and angry. They took Ben to the nurse and wrapped his hand in a bandage. They also scolded Lily and Ben for being so foolish and dangerous. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Ben said. + +"Me too, mom," Lily said. + +They felt very bad and sorry. They also felt sad, because they thought their moms would not let them play together anymore. + +But their moms were not so mean. They knew Lily and Ben were good kids who made a mistake. They hugged them and told them they loved them. They also told them they could still be friends and play together, but they had to be more careful and listen to their moms. + +Lily and Ben were happy and relieved. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They also said they still wanted to be married. + +"Okay, but no more biting," Lily said. + +"Okay, no more biting," Ben said. + +They smiled and kissed each other on the cheek. They learned their lesson and had a happy marriage. +Lily 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 play with the toys and puzzles in the corner. + +One day, she saw a new puzzle with a big ballerina on it. She wanted to try it. She took the pieces and put them on the floor. She tried to fit them together, but it was hard. Some pieces were too big, some were too small, and some had the wrong shape. + +She asked her mom for help. "Mom, can you help me with this puzzle? I want to see the ballerina." + +Her mom smiled and sat down with her. "Sure, Lily. Let's see. This piece goes here, and this one goes there. Do you see how they fit?" + +Lily nodded. She saw how the pieces matched the edges and the colors. She helped her mom find more pieces. Soon, they finished the puzzle. Lily clapped her hands. She saw the ballerina in a pink dress and shoes. She looked graceful and happy. + +"Wow, mom, she is so pretty! I want to be like her!" + +Her mom hugged her. "You are already pretty, Lily. And you can be anything you want to be. But first, let's clean up the puzzle and find a book to read, okay?" + +Lily agreed. She thanked her mom and put the pieces back in the box. She was proud of herself. She had learned a new word: fit. And she had seen a new thing: a ballerina. She wondered what else she could find in the library. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but they always wanted more. One day, their mom took them to the mall to buy some gifts for their friends. They saw a big tree with many shiny things on it. They were ornaments, and they were very pretty. + +"Mom, can we have some ornaments?" Anna asked. + +"No, sweetie, those are not for us. They are for the tree. We have to buy gifts for our friends, remember?" Mom said. + +"But they are so nice! I want one!" Ben said. + +He reached out his hand and grabbed an ornament. It was a long, red one that looked like a candy cane. He pulled it hard, but it was stuck to the tree. He pulled harder, and the ornament broke. It made a loud noise, and everyone looked at him. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Mom said. She was angry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted it." Ben said. He felt bad. + +The mall worker came and saw the broken ornament. He was not happy. + +"You have to pay for that. It was very expensive. Why did you break it?" He said. + +Mom had to pay a lot of money for the ornament. She did not have enough money to buy gifts for their friends. She took Anna and Ben home. They did not get any toys. + +"Ben, you were very naughty. You did not listen to me. You were greedy and selfish. You ruined our day. You have to learn to be happy with what you have, and to share with others. That is the right thing to do." Mom said. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I learned my lesson. I will be good from now on." Ben said. + +He hugged Mom and said he loved her. He also said sorry to Anna, who was sad too. He gave her his favorite toy to play with. He felt better. + +The end. +Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play in the bathroom. They see many things on the shelf. They see soap, toothpaste, brush, comb, and razor. They do not know what razor is for. They think it is a toy. + +One day, they play with the razor. They pretend it is a car. They make vroom vroom sounds. They push it on the floor. They have fun. But the razor is sharp. It can cut. They do not know that. + +Jen picks up the razor. She wants to kiss it. She thinks it is cute. She brings it to her mouth. Ben sees her. He remembers what mom said. Mom said, "Do not touch the razor. It is not a toy. It is useful for dad. It can hurt you." Ben is scared. He shouts, "No, Jen, no!" + +He runs to Jen. He grabs the razor. He pulls it away. But it is too late. The razor cuts Jen's lip. Jen cries. She bleeds. Ben cries too. He is sorry. He hugs Jen. He says, "I am sorry, Jen, I am sorry." + +Mom hears them. She comes to the bathroom. She sees the blood. She sees the razor. She is angry. She is worried. She says, "What did you do? How did this happen?" She takes Jen to the sink. She washes the cut. She puts a band-aid on it. She says, "You are lucky. It is not a big cut. It will heal soon. But you should never play with the razor. It is dangerous. It is not a toy. It is useful for dad. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Jen nod. They say, "Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry, mom, we are sorry." Mom hugs them. She says, "I love you, Ben and Jen. I love you. But please be careful. And do not touch the razor again." Ben and Jen say, "We love you too, mom. We love you. And we will not touch the razor again." They kiss mom. They kiss each other. They say, "We are sorry, razor. We are sorry." They put the razor back on the shelf. They leave the bathroom. They go to play with their toys. They are happy. They are safe. +Tom and Jen like to ride their bikes. They ride fast and slow, up and down, and all around. They have fun on their bikes. + +One day, they see a big cooler in the park. The cooler is blue and white, and has a handle and wheels. Tom and Jen are curious. They want to see what is inside the cooler. + +They stop their bikes and go to the cooler. They open the lid and look inside. They see ice and cans and bottles. The ice is cold and the cans and bottles are wet. They touch the ice and the cans and bottles. They feel good on their warm hands. + +Tom and Jen smile. They find two cans of juice in the cooler. They open the cans and drink the juice. The juice is sweet and yummy. They say thank you to the cooler. + +They close the lid and leave the cooler. They get on their bikes and ride away. They are happy and refreshed. They have a good day. +Tom and Anna were having lunch with their mom. They had cheese sandwiches and apple slices. Tom liked cheese sandwiches, but Anna did not. She only ate the apple slices and left the bread and cheese on her plate. + +"Anna, you have to finish your sandwich," mom said. "It is good for you and you need to grow big and strong." + +"But I don't like it, mom," Anna said. "It is yucky and dry. Can I have more apple slices instead?" + +"No, you can't," mom said. "You have to eat what is on your plate first. Look at Tom, he is almost done with his sandwich. He is a good eater." + +Tom smiled and took a big bite of his sandwich. He liked to make mom happy. He also liked cheese sandwiches. He was about to finish his last piece when he saw something shiny on the table. It was a knife. Mom had used it to cut the bread and cheese. Tom was curious. He wanted to touch the knife. + +"Tom, don't touch that!" mom shouted. "That is a knife. It is sharp and dangerous. It can hurt you. Put it down right now!" + +But Tom did not listen. He reached for the knife and grabbed it. He felt the cold metal in his hand. He thought it was fun. He waved the knife in the air and made noises. + +"Look, mom, I have a knife!" Tom said. "It is enormous and shiny. I can cut anything with it. I can cut the table, I can cut the chair, I can cut the..." + +Before Tom could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his finger. He had cut himself with the knife. He dropped the knife and started to cry. He saw blood on his finger and on the table. He was scared and sorry. + +"Mom, mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Tom sobbed. "I cut myself with the knife. It hurts, it hurts!" + +Mom ran to Tom and hugged him. She took a napkin and wrapped it around his finger. She kissed him and told him it was okay. + +"Tom, you have to be careful with knives," mom said. "They are not toys. They are tools for grown-ups. You have to listen to me when I tell you not to touch them. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and sniffed. He understood. He was not going to touch knives again. He learned his lesson. He looked at Anna and saw that she had finished her sandwich. She had eaten it while he was playing with the knife. She gave him a small smile and a piece of apple. + +"Here, Tom, have some apple," Anna said. "It will make you feel better. I'm sorry you hurt yourself. But you have to finish your lunch, too. Mom is right. You need to grow big and strong." + +Tom smiled back and took the apple. He ate it and felt better. He thanked Anna and mom. He finished his lunch and said he was sorry again. Mom said she forgave him and that she loved him. She said they would go to the doctor later and get a band-aid for his finger. Tom said he loved mom, too. He said he loved Anna, too. Anna said she loved Tom, too. They hugged and kissed. They were happy. They learned their lesson. They finished their lunch. The end. +Lila and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lila was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran to a big tree and hid behind it. He was very quiet and hoped Lila would not find him. + +Lila counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She looked under the slide, behind the bench, and in the bushes. She could not see Tom anywhere. She called his name, but there was no answer. She felt scared and lonely. She wondered if Tom had forgotten her. + +Tom heard Lila calling his name, but he did not answer. He thought it was funny to make her look for him. He wanted to win the game. He smiled and waited for Lila to give up. + +Lila walked around the park, but she could not find Tom. She started to cry. She wished Tom would come out and play with her. She did not like the silence and the light. She wanted to go home. + +Tom got bored of hiding. He decided to come out and surprise Lila. He walked out from behind the tree and looked for Lila. He could not see her anywhere. He called her name, but there was no answer. He felt confused and worried. He wondered where Lila had gone. + +Lila had left the park. She had seen a lady with a dog and asked her for help. The lady had taken Lila to her car and driven away. She had told Lila she was her new mommy. She had lied to Lila and kidnapped her. Lila did not know this. She was too scared and sad to talk. + +Tom never saw Lila again. He had forgotten her and lost her. He had made a big mistake. He was very sorry and sad. He learned a hard lesson. He never played hide and seek again. +Sam and Mia were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They did not mind the wind. The wind made their hair fly and their kites soar. + +But then the wind got stronger and louder. The sky got dark and angry. The trees bent and shook. Sam and Mia heard a big roar. They were scared. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they cried. They ran to the house. Mommy and Daddy were waiting for them. They hugged them tight. + +"What is that noise?" Sam asked. + +"That is a hurricane, Sam. A hurricane is a very big and high wind that can break things and hurt people. We have to stay inside and be safe," Mommy said. + +"Will the hurricane go away?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, Mia. The hurricane will go away soon. But we have to wait until it is calm and quiet. We can play with our toys and read our books and sing our songs. We can mind each other and help each other. We are a family and we love each other," Daddy said. + +Sam and Mia nodded. They were still scared, but they felt better. They trusted Mommy and Daddy. They minded each other and helped each other. They played with their toys and read their books and sang their songs. They waited for the hurricane to go away. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and learn new things. Today, they go to the museum with Mom and Dad. The museum has many things to see and touch. Anna and Ben are excited. + +"Look, Ben, a big dinosaur!" Anna says, pointing to a skeleton. "It has sharp teeth and long tail. Do you think it can roar?" + +"Maybe, Anna. But it is not alive. It is only bones. Let's go and touch it!" Ben says, running to the dinosaur. He reaches out his hand and feels the hard bone. "Wow, it is cold and smooth. How did it become like this?" + +Mom and Dad explain that the dinosaur lived a long time ago, and when it died, its body turned into stone. Anna and Ben listen and ask many questions.

I bought you some new toys and books. But you have to wait until tomorrow. It is a special day tomorrow." + +Mia and Ben were excited. They wondered what was in the bag. They said, "Thank you, Mommy. We can't wait to see our surprise." + +Mommy put the bag in her closet. She said, "Don't touch the bag, Mia and Ben. It is a secret. You have to be patient and good." + +But Mia was not patient and good. She was curious and selfish. When Mommy was busy in the kitchen, Mia sneaked into her closet. She opened the bag. She saw many toys and books. She liked them very much. She decided to take them for herself. She did not care about Ben. + +She took the toys and books out of the bag. She ripped the wrap. She spoiled the surprise. She hid the toys and books under her bed. She thought, "These are mine. I don't want to share with Ben. He can have nothing." + +But Mommy saw what Mia did. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Mia, how could you do this? You were very naughty and selfish. You spoiled the surprise for Ben and yourself. You hurt Ben's feelings. You did not think about him. You only thought about yourself." + +Mia felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she was wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Ben. I was selfish. I should have waited and shared with Ben. Can you forgive me?" + +Mommy said, "I'm glad you are sorry, Mia. But you have to make it up to Ben. You have to give him some of the toys and books. You have to say sorry to him and hug him. You have to learn to be kind and generous." + +Mia did what Mommy said. She gave Ben some of the toys and books. She said sorry to him and hugged him.

Ben was the doctor and Lily was the patient. + +"Oh no, you have a big cut on your arm!" Ben said, pretending to see blood on Lily's doll. "You need a stitch to make it better." + +"A stitch? What is that?" Lily asked, looking at her doll with a question. + +"A stitch is when the doctor uses a needle and a thread to close the cut. It does not hurt much, but it helps the cut heal faster," Ben explained, showing Lily his own stitch on his knee. He had fallen off his bike last week and had to go to the hospital. + +"I don't want a stitch! It sounds scary!" Lily said, holding her doll tight. "Can't you use a band-aid instead?" + +"Sorry, Lily, a band-aid is not enough for this cut. You have to be brave and let me do the stitch. It will be over soon, I promise," Ben said, trying to sound calm and kind. + +He took a needle and a thread from his toy doctor kit and pretended to stitch the doll's arm. Lily watched with wide eyes and held her breath. She felt dizzy and scared, but she did not cry. + +"There, all done!" Ben said, tying a knot and cutting the thread. "See, it was not so bad. Now your doll will be fine." + +"Thank you, Ben, you are a good doctor," Lily said, smiling and hugging her doll. "But I hope I never need a stitch for real." + +"Me too, Lily, me too," Ben said, hugging her back. "But if you do, I will be there to help you." +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside.

"Can you introduce us to Max?" + +"Sure," Sam said. "Max, come here. These are Lily and Ben. They are nice kids who want to say hi." + +Max wagged his tail and licked Lily and Ben's faces. They laughed and petted him. + +"Max is very friendly," Lily said. + +"Yes, he is," Sam said. "He likes to meet new people and animals. He is not an ordinary dog. He is a river dog." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They liked Sam and Max. They were not ordinary either. They were river people. They asked Sam many questions about the river and the boat.

Like the one in the garden. Can I have the yellow and pink crayons, please?" Lily said. + +"Sure, Lily. Here you go. You are my reliable friend. You always share with me. And you are very nice. I will draw a sun for your flower. A big, bright sun with orange rays. Can I have the orange crayon, please?" Ben said. + +"Of course, Ben. Here you go. You are my reliable friend, too. You always help me. And you are very funny. I like your sun. It makes me smile. Can we draw a rainbow, too? A rainbow with all the colors. We can use all the crayons in the box." Lily said. + +"Yes, Lily. Let's draw a rainbow. A rainbow that goes over our flower and sun. A rainbow that makes our picture beautiful. We can use all the crayons, but we have to be careful. We don't want to break them or lose them. They are not ours. They belong to the teacher. We have to give them back when we are done." Ben said. + +"OK, Ben. I understand. We will be careful and respectful. We will give them back when we are done. But first, let's have fun and draw our rainbow. We have gained a lot of crayons today.

It was so high and it looked so cool! She wanted to try and reach it. + +So Sarah started to run and jump. She ran and she jumped until she was very tired. But the kite kept rising higher and higher. Sarah felt so sad and she had to give up. + +Then Sarah heard someone speaking. "I can help you!" said the voice. Sarah looked around, but she couldn't see anybody. "Where are you?" she asked. + +The voice answered, "I'm here in the sky, I can get you the kite". Sarah felt so happy, but she was a bit scared too. + +The voice said, "Take off your jacket and use it to fly up to the kite. Go on, try it!" So Sarah took off her jacket and put it on like a cape. She started running and jumping, but she just couldn't fly. + +The voice said, "Give it one more try!" But Sarah was too tired and she fell to the ground. She looked up and saw the kite rising higher and higher until it was out of sight. Sarah was so sad and she never saw the kite again. +Once there was a man. He was walking along a field when it got very dry and hot. Suddenly he felt something strange on the ground. He stopped and looked down and he saw a little question. He bent down to take a closer look. It was asking "Where is the water?" The man was very surprised. He thought long and hard, but he could not answer the question. He said, "I don't know where the water is, but I will try to find it." So he started walking again and he looked for water. Suddenly he stopped. He had found what he was looking for - it was a big lake of water! He filled up his bucket with the water, so that he could bring the water back to the dry field. He smiled and thought to himself, "Now I can answer the question!" +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Anna. She was very lonely because she had no one her age to play with.

It was the best rest she'd ever had. +Tommy and Timmy had a shelter in the park. They were worried because it was raining and the shelter was not very strong. Soon, Tommy and Timmy were both very cold and wet. They wanted to go inside the shelter, but it was too wet for them to stay there. + +The rain kept coming down hard and the shelter started to become unstable. Eventually, the shelter fell down and collapsed. Tommy and Timmy were very scared and worried; they had no shelter from the rain.

The bad ending was that they never found another shelter that day. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She had pretty, golden hair. One day, she wanted to explore around her house.

She made her way to the hut and knocked on the door. + +A tall man opened the door, his face hidden in the shadows. He said, “Come in little one! I have something to show you.†+ +Mia followed the man into the hut, but she didn’t know that he was a wizard. He started to light a fire in the corner of the room and said to Mia, “I’m going to use this smoke to make something beautiful.†+ +Mia watched as the smoke began to swirl around the room and the wizard used his magic. Suddenly the room was different; it shimmered with a pink light. The wizard had created something beautiful using the smoke! + +Mia was so happy that she hugged the wizard.

As Mom was about to walk out the door, a small spider crawled out from under the couch.

The truck!" + +His mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, the car will remain safe." + +The boy felt a bit better hearing these words, but he was still nervous.

She smiled and said, "I'm not sure, why don't you open it and take a look. Be careful, though!" + +Mike didn't listen. He grabbed the door handle and opened it. Suddenly, a bright light filled the park. Mike screamed, shielding his eyes. He heard something and looked around, but couldn't see anything. He slowly opened his eyes. + +Then he heard a loud, booming voice, "You should not have opened that door, young one. Now you must stay here forever!" Mike desperately looked for his mum, but she had disappeared into the light. + +Mike was stuck in the park and he never made it home. +Once upon a time there was a family who lived in a big city. In the city there was a very famous history.

I can show you all the pretty things!†+ +The chair laughed and replied, “That would be fun, but I don’t think I can zip around like you can.†+ +The little girl smiled and said, “That’s ok! I’ll be your legs and we’ll zip together! Come on, let’s go!†+ +So the ancient chair and the little girl zipped around the hill together, laughing and talking about the countryside and all its beauty.

We can play in two teams, and make a competition out of it. What do you think?" + +William was thoughtful for a moment. He knew that Emma would make the game more fun, but he already had a specific view of how he wanted to play. He said, "No, I don't think that's a good idea. I want to do it my way. I think it will be better." + +Emma was a bit upset. She thought that her way would be more fun, and she felt that her idea was not respected. + +After a moment of silence, William thought this through and appreciated Emma's idea. He said, "Maybe we can try it my way and then your way. That way we can experience both views and compare them!" + +Emma smiled, and the two friends continued to sort their toys together.

He tried to squeeze many more times, but nothing seemed to happen. + +He started walking away, but just then he heard a voice say, "I can help you with that!" Joey turned around, and discovered a small gnome standing in the bushes nearby. "If you give the spring one more squeeze", he said, "it will make a wonderful surprise happen!" + +Joey was a little bit scared, the alien looking creature was really friendly, though.
