Lily tried to hold him back, but Max was too strong. + +Suddenly, Max broke free from his leash and ran into the parade. The other dogs welcomed him and let him march with them. Lily tried to catch up, but she couldn't keep up with the parade. Max looked back and saw that Lily was gone. He barked and whined, but it was too late. He had lost his friend forever. + +From that day on, Max never led Lily into danger again. He learned that sometimes it's better to stay with the ones you love, even if it means missing out on something fun. +Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack. Jack loved to play with his laser toy. It was a red laser that shone really high up in the sky.

Spot loved to play outside in the mud and the rain. He would roll around and get very dirty. But one day, it started to rain very hard and Spot got wet and smelly. His owner didn't want him in the house because he was so smelly. + +Spot didn't know what to do. He wanted to go inside and be dry and warm, but he was too smelly. He wandered around outside, feeling sad and alone. Then he saw a big tree and wondered if he could climb it to get out of the rain. + +Spot tried to climb the tree, but he slipped and fell into a puddle. He was wet and dirty again. But then he saw a big towel hanging on the fence. He ran over to it and rubbed himself dry. He felt much better and was able to go inside and snuggle up with his owner. From then on, he knew to always dry himself off before going inside. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved going to her favorite restaurant with her family. When they arrived, the waiter gave them a menu with pictures of yummy food. Lily always picked the soft chicken strips with fries. + +One day, Lily saw a magician performing tricks at the restaurant.

One day, Tweetie saw a group of birds flying to the west. Tweetie wanted to join them, but was too delicate to fly for too long. + +Tweetie decided to rest for a while and watch the other birds fly away. As Tweetie sat there, a wise old owl came by and asked why Tweetie was not flying with the other birds. Tweetie explained that they were too strong and fast to keep up with. The owl said, "It's not about being strong or fast, it's about joining together and helping each other." + +Tweetie thought about what the owl said and decided to try again. This time, Tweetie flew with the other birds and they all helped each other along the way. They finally reached the west and saw a beautiful sunset.

One day, they saw a cart that was very popular with other kids. Lily wanted to ride in it too, but her parents said no because it was too dangerous. + +Lily was sad and upset. She didn't understand why she couldn't ride in the cart like the other kids. Her parents explained to her that just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's always safe or good for you. They told her that it's important to make smart choices and listen to grown-ups who know what's best. + +Lily learned an important lesson that day. She realized that just because something seems fun or popular, doesn't mean it's always the right choice. She promised to always listen to her parents and make smart decisions. From that day on, Lily walked in the park with her head held high, proud of the smart choices she made. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play with boats. They had a big pond near their house where they could sail their boats. They made their boats from paper and sticks and gave them names. + +One day, they decided to have a race with their boats. Tom had a red boat named Speedy and Sue had a blue boat named Splashy. They put their boats in the water and said, "Ready, set, go!" + +They ran along the edge of the pond, cheering for their boats.

I like boats. I will keep them and play with them. You can't have them back. Ha ha ha!" + +Tom and Sue were very miserable. They cried and begged the big boy to give them back their boats.

Ha ha ha!" + +Tom and Sue watched as their boats landed in the trash. They felt very bad. They had lost their boats and their race. They had no more boats to play with. They had no more fun.

They think the balloon is amazing. They keep dancing and watching the balloon. They are happy. They love summer. +Sam and Lily liked to play with their wagon.

She said they would get dirty and wet and catch a cold. She said they could play inside with their puzzles and crayons. + +But Sam and Lily were bored. They wanted to have fun with their wagon. They waited until their mom was busy in the kitchen and then they sneaked outside. They put on their boots and coats and grabbed their wagon.

It is fun to zoom in the wet yard," Sam said. + +"We did not mean to make a mess. We can clean it up. Please don't be mad," Lily said. + +Their mom sighed. She was not happy, but she loved them. She said, "I know you like to play with your wagon, but you have to listen to me. The wet yard is not safe for you. You could slip and fall and hurt yourself. You could get sick and miss school. You have to stay inside when it rains. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We are sorry. We love you." + +Their mom hugged them. She said, "I love you too. Now let's go inside and get you dry and warm. And then we have to clean your wagon and your toys and books. And then you have to play inside until the rain stops. OK?" + +Sam and Lily said, "OK, mom." They followed their mom inside. They still liked to play with their wagon, but they learned to obey their mom.

"You are welcome, Ben," she says. "You are my friend." + +They share the rose and play in the park. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were adventurous friends who liked to explore new places. One day, they found a big tower in the park. It was very tall and had many windows and doors. + +"Let's examine the tower!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find something fun inside." + +"OK, but be careful," Ben said. "We don't know who lives there or what they have." + +They walked to the tower and opened a door. It was dark and dusty inside. They saw some stairs and some pictures on the wall. + +"Wow, look at these pictures!" Lily said. "They are very old and strange. I wonder who made them." + +"I don't know, but they look scary," Ben said. "Maybe we should go back." + +But Lily wanted to see more. She climbed the stairs and found another door. She opened it and saw a big room with a lot of books and a big desk. + +"Come on, Ben, this is amazing!" Lily said. "There are so many books here. Maybe we can learn something new." + +But Ben was afraid. He heard a noise behind him and turned around. He saw a man with a long beard and a hat. He looked angry and had a stick in his hand. + +"Who are you and what are you doing in my tower?" the man shouted. "This is my private study. You are not allowed here. Go away!" + +Ben was very scared. He ran to Lily and grabbed her hand. + +"Lily, we have to go now!" Ben said. "There is a man here and he is mad at us. He has a stick and he might hurt us." + +Lily was surprised and scared too. She dropped the book she was holding and followed Ben. They ran down the stairs and out of the door. They did not stop until they reached the park. + +They were both out of breath and shaking. + +"That was scary," Lily said. "I'm sorry, Ben. I should have listened to you. We should not have examined the tower. It was not fun. It was dangerous." + +"It's OK, Lily," Ben said. "I'm glad you are safe. We are still friends. But next time, let's find a different place to explore. Maybe a playground or a zoo." + +They hugged and smiled. They learned a lesson and still had their friendship. They were adventurous, but also smart. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the monkey. The monkey was very funny and smart. He jumped and swung on the trees. He made faces and noises at the children. + +"Can we feed the monkey, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but you have to be polite and gentle," mom said. She gave them some bananas and nuts to share with the monkey. + +Tom and Lily walked to the fence where the monkey was. They held out their hands with the food. The monkey came closer and looked at them. + +"Hello, monkey. We have some treats for you. Do you want some?" Lily said. + +The monkey nodded and reached for the food. He took a banana from Lily and peeled it. He ate it with a smile. He took a nut from Tom and cracked it. He ate it with a crunch. + +"Thank you, monkey. You are very polite," Tom said. + +The monkey nodded and reached for more food. But then another monkey came. He was bigger and meaner. He wanted all the food for himself. He pushed the first monkey away and grabbed the food from Tom and Lily. He ate it fast and threw the peels and shells on the ground. + +"Hey, that's not nice. That's our food. You have to share," Lily said. + +The mean monkey did not listen. He growled and showed his teeth. He scared Tom and Lily. They ran back to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there's a mean monkey. He took our food and he was rude," Tom said. + +"Mom, mom, he pushed the polite monkey and he made a mess," Lily said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. Some monkeys are not polite. They are greedy and selfish. But you did the right thing. You were kind and generous. You made the polite monkey happy. And you know what? He will remember you and he will be your friend." + +Tom and Lily smiled and looked at the polite monkey. He was still on the fence. He waved at them and made a happy noise. He was their friend. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the farm. They liked to run, jump and sing with the animals. One day, they saw a big pile of corn in the barn. They wanted to eat some corn, because it looked yellow and sweet. + +"Can we have some corn, Mom?" they asked. + +"Sure, but only one each. The rest is for the cows and the chickens," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily took one corn each and ran to the field. They peeled the green leaves and bit the corn. It was warm and juicy. They liked it very much. + +"Let's have more corn," Ben said. + +"But Mom said only one each," Lily said. + +"Mom won't know. There is so much corn in the barn. Come on, it's fun," Ben said. + +He ran back to the barn and tore more corn from the pile. Lily followed him. They ate more and more corn, until their bellies were full. They threw the leaves and the cobs on the ground. + +They did not see Mom coming. She saw the mess they made and the corn they wasted. She was angry and sad. + +"Ben and Lily, what have you done?" she asked. + +They looked at Mom and felt ashamed. They knew they did something bad. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We wanted more corn. It was warm and sweet," they said. + +"That's not a good reason. You were greedy and selfish. You did not listen to me. You did not think of the animals. They need the corn too. You wasted the food and made a mess. That's not how we treat the farm and the gifts of nature. You should be thankful and respectful," Mom said. + +She made them clean up the mess and apologize to the animals. She also did not give them any dessert that night. They learned their lesson. They never tore more corn than they needed again. They shared the corn with the animals and thanked Mom for the food. They were happy and grateful. +Lily liked to sign songs. She learned many songs from her mom and dad. She sang them when she was happy, sad, or bored. She sang them at home, at school, and in the park. She sang them loud and clear. + +One day, Lily went to the zoo with her class. She saw many animals that she liked. She saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. She wanted to sign songs to them. She thought they would like her songs too. + +But Lily was careless. She did not listen to her teacher. She did not stay with her group. She ran to the fence of the bear cage. She wanted to sign a song to the big brown bear. She climbed on the fence and leaned over. She did not see the sign that said "Danger". + +The bear did not like Lily's song. The bear was angry and hungry. The bear roared and jumped. The bear grabbed Lily's arm with his paw. Lily screamed and dropped from the fence. She hurt her arm and her head. She cried and cried. + +Her teacher and her friends heard her cry. They ran to help her. They called the zookeeper and the doctor. They took Lily to the hospital. Lily was very sorry.

She learned that signing songs is not always safe. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would kick it, throw it, and roll it on the lawn. + +One day, they saw a new sign on their neighbor's lawn. It said: "Keep off the grass. It is dead." Tim and Kim did not know what "dead" meant, but they thought it sounded bad. They decided to stay away from the lawn. + +But then, a strong wind blew their ball over the fence. It landed on the dead lawn. Tim and Kim ran to the fence and looked at their ball. They wanted it back. + +"Hey, mister!" Tim shouted. "Can we have our ball, please?" + +The neighbor came out of his house. He was old and grumpy. He saw the ball on his lawn and frowned. + +"No, you can't!" he said. "You kids are always making noise and messing up my lawn. This ball is mine now. Go away!" + +Tim and Kim were shocked and angry. They loved their ball. They did not think it was fair. + +"That's not nice!" Kim said. "That's our ball. You can't take it. Give it back!" + +The neighbor shook his head. He picked up the ball and went back inside. He slammed the door. + +Tim and Kim started to cry. They felt sad and helpless. They did not know what to do. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" they called. "Help us! The mean man took our ball!" +Sara and Ben were playing with bricks in the yard. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the bricks. Sara had a lot of bricks, but Ben only had a few. Ben wanted more bricks, so he took some from Sara's pile. + +"Hey, those are my bricks!" Sara said. "Give them back!" + +"No, they are mine now!" Ben said. "You have too many!" + +Sara was angry. She tried to grab the bricks from Ben, but he ran away. Sara chased him around the yard, but he was too fast. Ben laughed and stuck out his tongue. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Sara shouted. "You are not nice!" + +Sara saw a big brick on the ground. She picked it up and threw it at Ben. She wanted to make him leave her alone. But she missed. The brick flew over Ben's head and hit the window of the house. The window broke with a loud crash. + +Sara and Ben stopped. They looked at the broken window. They felt scared. They heard their mom coming out of the house. + +"What happened here?" their mom asked. She saw the brick and the window. She was not happy. "Who did this?" + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They wished they had not fought over the bricks. They wished they had played nicely. They wished they could leave. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make roads and bridges with blocks and pretend they were driving in the city. Sometimes they would make loud noises like horns and sirens. + +One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a picture of a train set on it. They were very happy and excited. They asked their mom if they could open it and play with it. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and not break anything. + +They opened the box and found many pieces of track, a train engine, and some cars. They also found a switch that could make the train go fast or slow. They set up the track on the floor and connected the train. They turned on the switch and watched the train go around. They were having a lot of fun. + +They decided to make the train go faster and faster. They liked to see it zoom by. They also added more cars to the train. They wanted to make the longest train ever. They did not notice that the track was getting loose and the train was wobbling. + +Suddenly, the train hit a bump and flew off the track. It crashed into the wall and broke into pieces. Some of the pieces hit Sam and Tom and hurt them. They started to cry. Their mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and the broken train. She was very angry and sad. She scolded Sam and Tom for being careless and reckless. She said they had to go to their room and think about what they did. She also said they had to pay for the train with their allowance. They had no more money to buy new cars or toys. + +Sam and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not played with the train so fast. They wished they had not broken the train and hurt themselves. They wished they had listened to their mom and been careful. They learned a hard lesson that day. They never played with trains again. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the snow. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves near the woods. They wanted to jump in the leaves and have fun. + +"Let's go, Sam!" Tom said. "We can gather the leaves and make a fort!" + +"OK, Tom!" Sam said. "But we have to be careful. Mom said the woods are dangerous in winter. There are dead things and bad animals there." + +They ran to the pile of leaves and started to gather them. They made a big fort and hid inside. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud growl. They looked out and saw a big, black bear. The bear was hungry and angry. It smelled the boys and wanted to eat them. + +"Help, Tom!" Sam cried. "The bear is coming!" + +"Run, Sam!" Tom shouted. "Run to the house!" + +They tried to run, but the bear was faster. It caught Sam and bit him. Sam screamed and fell. Tom saw his brother was dead. He was very scared and sad. + +He ran to the house and told Mom what happened. Mom was very scared and sad too. She called Dad and the police. They came and took Sam away. They also shot the bear. + +Tom and Mom cried a lot. They missed Sam very much. They wished they never went to the pile of leaves. They wished they stayed inside and played with their toys. They wished winter was over. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a creek near their house. It had clear water and many fish and frogs. They wanted to catch some and put them in a bucket. + +"Look, Lily, a big frog!" Tom said, pointing to a green and brown animal on a rock. "I want to get it!" + +He ran to the creek and tried to grab the frog. But the frog was not sleepy. It jumped away and splashed Tom with water. Tom slipped and fell into the creek. He got wet and cold and cried. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked, running to him. She helped him stand up and hugged him. "Don't cry, Tom. It was just a frog. It did not want to be caught. It wanted to be free." + +Tom sniffed and nodded. He was sorry for scaring the frog. He looked at the bucket and saw that it was empty. All the fish and frogs had escaped when he fell. He felt bad for taking them from their home. + +"Let's go back, Lily," he said. "We should not bother the animals in the creek. They are happy there. We can watch them from far away, but not touch them." + +Lily agreed. She took Tom's hand and they walked back to their house. They told their mom what happened and she gave them warm towels and cookies. She was glad that they learned to respect the creek and its creatures. She hugged them and said, "I'm proud of you, Tom and Lily. You are kind and smart." +Jill and Ben are friends. They like to play and dance together. One day, they go to the park.

It has spots and a bone." + +They laughed and kept drawing. They did not see that their mom was calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" Mom said from the kitchen. "Put away your pencils and come to the table." + +But Lily and Ben did not hear her. They were too busy drawing. + +Mom came to their room and saw the mess. There were papers and pencils everywhere. She was not happy. + +"Lily and Ben, what are you doing?" Mom asked, frowning. "I told you to come for lunch. Why didn't you listen?" + +Lily and Ben looked up and saw Mom. They panicked. They knew they were in trouble. + +"Sorry, Mom, we didn't hear you," Lily said, dropping her pencil. + +"We were just playing, Mom, we didn't mean to make a mess," Ben said, hiding his pencil. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She loved her kids, but they needed to learn to follow the rules. + +"Okay, okay, I understand," Mom said, softening her voice. "But you have to clean up your room after lunch, okay? And next time, pay attention when I call you." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said sorry again. They followed Mom to the kitchen, holding their pencils. They hoped Mom would not be too mad at them.

She picks her up and hugs her. She says, "Oh, Mia, I'm sorry. You slipped on the slide. Let me see your toe." + +She looks at her toe. She says, "It's not too bad. It's just a little cut. I have a band-aid for you. It's colorful too. It has a star on it. Do you want it?" + +Mia nods and says, "Yes, please." + +Her mom puts the band-aid on her toe.

He's not mean, he just likes to bark. Are you okay?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and shrugged. They didn't know what to say. They were still scared of the dog. They said, "We're okay, thank you." Then they ran to their mom and dad and told them what happened. Mom and dad hugged them and said, "We're glad you're safe. Next time, be careful of big dogs. They might not be friendly." Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay." They learned a lesson that day. +Lisa loved chocolate very much. She liked to eat it every day after lunch.

But it is very far and we have to stay here and take care of the farm." + +Lila was sad. She wanted to see new things and meet new people. She wondered if the distant village had a school, a market, or a playground. She wondered if the children there were friendly and happy. + +That night, she had a dream.

Come on, let's go together." He took Sam's hand and led him to the slide. + +But when they got to the top, they saw a fierce dog waiting at the bottom.

And don't add anything to the soup, it's perfect. I'll be back soon." + +Tommy nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'll be good." + +But when his mom left, Tommy became curious.

Next time, ask me before you try something new. And never touch the stove without me. It's very dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you." + +His mom smiled and said, "I love you too. Now, let's clean up this mess and make a new soup.

He became a good and helpful son. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big box of sand and many toys. They make castles and roads and bridges with the sand.

But be careful, it looks fragile. Maybe it will break if we roll it too fast." + +They take the ancient car downstairs and put it on the floor. They take turns to push it and make horn sounds. They have fun with the ancient car. + +But then, something bad happens. Tom pushes the car too hard and it hits the wall. The car makes a loud noise and falls apart. The wheels roll away and the horn breaks. Tom and Anna are shocked and sad. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Tom says. "We broke the ancient car. Mom and dad will be angry with us." + +Anna says, "Don't worry, Tom. Maybe we can fix it. Maybe we can take it to the hospital." + +Tom says, "The hospital? What do you mean?" + +Anna says, "The hospital is where they help people and animals who are hurt or sick. Maybe they can help the ancient car too. Maybe they have glue and tape and tools." + +Tom says, "That's a good idea, Anna. Let's try it. Maybe the hospital can make the ancient car better." + +They pick up the pieces of the ancient car and put them in a box. They ask mom and dad if they can go to the hospital. Mom and dad are surprised and curious. They agree to take them to the hospital. + +At the hospital, they meet a nice doctor. He sees the box and asks, "What do you have there, kids?" + +Tom and Anna say, "We have an ancient car. We found it in the attic. We played with it and broke it. Can you fix it, please?" + +The doctor smiles and says, "Well, I usually fix people and animals, not cars. But let me see what I can do. Maybe I can use some glue and tape and tools." + +He opens the box and looks at the ancient car. He says, "Wow, this is a very old and rare car. It is a treasure. Where did you find it?" + +Tom and Anna say, "In the attic. It was very old and dusty. We liked it and wanted to play with it. But we were not careful and we rolled it too fast. We are sorry we broke it." + +The doctor says, "It's okay, kids. I understand. You were curious and excited. But you have to be gentle with old things. They are fragile and precious. They have history and stories. They need love and care." + +He takes out some glue and tape and tools. He starts to fix the ancient car. He puts the wheels back and the horn back. He cleans the dust and polishes the metal. He makes the ancient car look like new. + +He gives the ancient car back to Tom and Anna. He says, "Here you go, kids. I fixed your ancient car. It is beautiful and shiny. You can play with it again. But remember, be careful and gentle. Don't roll it too fast or too hard. Treat it like a friend." + +Tom and Anna say, "Thank you, doctor. You are very kind and smart. You made the ancient car better. We will be careful and gentle. We will treat it like a friend." + +They hug the doctor and the ancient car. They are happy and grateful. They learn a lesson. They go home with mom and dad. They play with the ancient car. They roll it slowly and softly. They make horn sounds. They have fun with the ancient car. +Lily was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to pretend they were her friends and talk to them. She had a pink telephone that made sounds when she pressed the buttons. She gave it to her favorite doll, Anna, and said, "Hello, Anna. How are you today?" + +Anna did not answer, because she was a doll. But Lily did not mind. She made up what Anna would say in her head. She said, "I'm fine, Lily. Thank you for calling me. You are very thoughtful." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Anna. I like to call you and make you happy. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna said, "Yes, Lily. I want to play with you. What do you want to play?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked to play many things. She said, "Let's play dress up. I have some pretty clothes and hats and shoes. We can try them on and look in the mirror." + +Anna said, "That sounds fun, Lily. Let's do that." + +Lily and Anna got up and went to the closet. They took out some clothes and hats and shoes and put them on the bed. They started to try them on and mix and match them. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily felt a tickle in her nose. She tried to ignore it, but it got worse. She said, "Uh-oh, Anna. I think I have to sneeze." + +Anna said, "Bless you, Lily. Cover your nose and mouth with your elbow." + +Lily did as Anna said, but she sneezed so hard that she dropped the telephone. It fell on the floor and broke into pieces. Lily gasped and said, "Oh no, Anna. I'm sorry. I broke the telephone. Now we can't talk anymore." + +Anna said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's okay. It was an accident. You didn't mean to break it. I'm not mad at you. I still love you." + +Lily felt better. She hugged Anna and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. I love you too." + +They put away the clothes and hats and shoes and cleaned up the broken telephone. They decided to play something else. They were still friends. +Lily was an otter who liked to fix things. She had a big box of tools that she found near the river. She used them to make toys, boats, and traps for fish. She was very proud of her creations. + +One day, she saw a broken bike near the shore. It had two wheels, a seat, and a handle. Lily wanted to fix it and ride it. She dragged it to her den and looked for the right tools. She found a hammer, a screwdriver, and some tape. + +She worked hard to fix the bike. She hammered the bent wheel, she screwed the loose handle, and she taped the torn seat. She smiled when she finished. She thought the bike looked good. + +She tried to ride the bike, but it was too big for her. She could not reach the pedals or the handle. She fell off the bike and hurt her paw. She felt sad and angry. + +"Who left this bike here? It is not for otters!" she shouted. + +A boy heard her and came to see. He saw the bike and Lily. He was surprised and happy. + +"Wow, you fixed my bike! Thank you, otter!" he said. + +He picked up the bike and looked at it. He saw the hammer, the screwdriver, and the tape. He saw the marks of Lily's work. + +"You did a great job! You are very successful at fixing things!" he said. + +He smiled at Lily and gave her a hug. He offered her a ride on the bike. He put her on the seat and held her. He pedaled slowly and carefully. + +Lily felt happy and proud. She enjoyed the ride and the wind. She liked the boy and his bike. + +She learned that fixing things can make friends. She decided to fix more things and share them with others. She was a happy and successful otter. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play on the farm. The farm has many animals. Anna likes the cows. Ben likes the mule. + +One day, they go to see the mule. The mule is big and brown. He has long ears and a long tail. He lives in a tidy barn. The farmer gives him hay and water. + +"Hello, mule," Anna says. "You are very nice. Can we pet you?" + +The mule nods his head. He likes Anna and Ben. They are gentle and kind. They stroke his fur and scratch his ears. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is the farmer's dog. He is barking and running. He wants to chase the mule. + +"Uh-oh," Ben says. "The dog is coming. He is not nice. He is mean. He will scare the mule." + +The mule hears the dog too. He is afraid. He does not like the dog. He wants to escape. He kicks the barn door with his hoofs. The door breaks open. The mule runs out. + +"Come back, mule," Anna and Ben shout. "We will help you. We will stop the dog." + +They run after the mule. They see him in the field. He is hiding behind a big tree. The dog is still barking and running. He is looking for the mule. + +Anna and Ben have an idea. They find some sticks and stones. They throw them at the dog. They make loud noises. They scare the dog. + +"Go away, dog," Anna and Ben say. "Leave the mule alone. He is our friend. You are not." + +The dog hears Anna and Ben. He sees the sticks and stones. He is afraid too. He does not want to fight. He runs away. + +The mule sees the dog go. He is happy. He is safe. He comes out from behind the tree. He goes to Anna and Ben. He nuzzles them with his nose. He thanks them with his eyes. + +Anna and Ben hug the mule. They are happy too. They are brave. They saved the mule. + +They take the mule back to the barn. They fix the door. They give him some hay and water. They say goodbye to the mule. + +"Goodbye, mule," Anna and Ben say. "You are very nice. We will come back to see you." + +The mule nods his head. He likes Anna and Ben. They are his friends. He is glad they came. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play near the pond. They saw many fish in the water and wanted to catch them. They found a net and a bucket and tried to scoop the fish out of the pond. But the fish were too fast and slippery and they could not catch any. + +"Let's throw stones at them!" Tom said. "Maybe they will come closer and we can grab them." + +Lily did not think that was a good idea. She liked the fish and did not want to hurt them. She said, "No, Tom, that is mean. The fish are happy in the water. We should leave them alone." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He picked up a big stone and threw it at the pond. He missed the fish, but he hit a duck that was swimming nearby. The duck quacked loudly and flew away, scared and hurt. + +Lily was angry and sad. She said, "Tom, you are bad! You hurt the duck! The duck was not doing anything to you. How would you like it if someone threw a stone at you?" + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt the duck. I was just trying to catch the fish. But you are right, that was mean. I should not throw stones at anyone." + +Lily and Tom decided to put the net and the bucket away and go home. They saw the duck again on their way back. It was sitting on the grass, looking at them. Lily and Tom said, "We are sorry, duck. We hope you are okay. We will not throw stones at you or the fish again." + +The duck nodded and quacked softly. It seemed to forgive them. Lily and Tom felt grateful and happy. They learned that they should be kind and respectful to all living things. They also learned that they should listen to their friends when they have good advice. +Tommy woke up and saw the ceiling. It was white and had a light. He liked the light. It made him feel safe. He remembered his dream. He dreamed of a big park with slides and swings and a pond. He had fun in his dream. + +He heard a noise. It was loud and scary. He did not like the noise. He covered his ears with his hands. He looked around. He saw his sister. She was playing with her drums. She liked to make noise. She did not see Tommy. + +Tommy got out of his bed. He walked to his sister. He said, "Stop! You are too noisy! I want to sleep!" His sister looked at him. She smiled. She said, "Sorry, Tommy. I did not know you were sleeping. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tommy shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I want to sleep. I want to dream of the park again." His sister nodded. She said, "OK, Tommy. I will play quietly. You can sleep. Maybe I will dream of the park too." + +Tommy went back to his bed. He closed his eyes. He hoped to see the park again. He heard his sister playing softly. He smiled. He liked his sister. He liked the ceiling. He liked the light. He fell asleep. +Tom and Lily like to play ball in the park. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away. They run after it and laugh. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He sees Tom and Lily playing ball. He wants to play too. He walks over to them and says, "Give me the ball. I can throw it better than you." + +Tom and Lily frown. They do not like the big boy. He is rude and mean. They say, "No, this is our ball. We are playing. Go away." + +The big boy does not listen. He grabs the ball from Lily's hand. He says, "Watch this. I can throw the ball very high and far." He throws the ball with all his might. He makes a loud noise. He thinks he is very good. + +But the ball does not go high and far. It goes low and near. It hits a tree and bounces back. It hits the big boy on the head. He falls down and cries. + +Tom and Lily look at the ball and the big boy. They think he is very silly. They say, "That was a bad pitch. You are not good at throwing. You are good at falling." They pick up the ball and run away. They play ball in another part of the park. They are happy and have fun. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they find a big hill with green grass. They run up and down the hill and laugh. + +"Look, Ben, a kite!" Lily says. She points to the sky. A red kite flies high in the air. It has a long tail. + +"Wow, Lily, it is pretty!" Ben says. He wants to touch the kite. He runs after it. + +But the kite is too fast. Ben cannot catch it. He falls down on the grass. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Lily hears Ben cry. She runs to him. She sees his knee. It has a small cut. It bleeds a little. + +"Don't cry, Ben, it is okay," Lily says. She hugs him. She takes a dry leaf from the ground. She lays it on his knee. "This will make it better," she says. + +Ben stops crying. He smiles at Lily. He feels better. He says, "Thank you, Lily, you are a good sister." + +The wind blows. It makes the kite fly higher. It makes the leaf fly away. It makes Lily and Ben laugh. They hold hands. They run up and down the hill again. They are happy. +Anna liked to play with candles. She liked how they made light and shadows on the wall. She liked how they smelled nice and warm. She liked how they melted and dripped wax. But Anna was careless. She did not listen to her mom and dad, who told her not to touch the candles. They said candles were hot and dangerous, and could make fire and hurt her. + +One day, Anna saw a big candle on the table. It was red and shiny, and had a picture of a cake on it. Anna thought it was a toy. She wanted to play with it. She climbed on a chair and reached for the candle. She did not see that the candle was lit, and had a small flame on top. She grabbed the candle with her hand, and felt a sharp pain. She screamed and dropped the candle. The candle fell on the floor, and the flame caught the rug. The rug started to burn and smoke. + +Mom and dad heard Anna scream and ran to the room. They saw the fire and the smoke, and Anna crying on the chair. They were scared and angry. They quickly put out the fire with water and a blanket. They checked Anna's hand, and saw that it was red and blistered. They wrapped it with a bandage and gave her some ice. They hugged her and said, "Anna, are you okay? What did you do?" + +Anna sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I wanted to play with the candle. I did not know it was hot and fire. I was careless. I hurt myself and made a mess." + +Mom and dad sighed and said, "Anna, we love you, but you have to be careful. Candles are not toys. They are hot and fire. They can hurt you and make fire. You have to listen to us and obey us. We tell you things for your own good. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I'm sorry, mom and dad. I love you too. I will be careful next time. I will not play with candles anymore." + +Mom and dad kissed her and said, "We're glad you're okay. We forgive you. But you have to gain some sense and learn from your mistake. Candles are for looking, not for touching. Okay?" + +Anna said, "Okay. Thank you, mom and dad. You are the best." +Lily and Tom went to the store with Mom. They wanted to buy a new toy. Mom said they could each pick one, but they had to test it first. + +Lily saw a doll that could talk and sing. She pressed a button and the doll said, "Hello, I'm Anna. Do you want to be my friend?" Lily smiled and hugged the doll. She said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. You are very nice." + +Tom saw a car that could move and make noises. He turned a switch and the car zoomed across the floor. It made a loud honk and a siren. Tom laughed and chased the car. He said, "Wow, this is cool. You are very fast." + +Mom watched them and nodded. She said, "You both tested your toys and you like them. That's good. Now we can go and pay for them." + +But then a boy came and grabbed the doll from Lily. He said, "This is mine. I saw it first. You are ignorant. You don't know anything." He pulled the doll's hair and made it cry. + +Lily was sad and angry. She said, "No, this is mine. I tested it and I love it. You are ignorant. You don't know how to share." She tried to get the doll back, but the boy was stronger. + +Tom saw what happened and ran to help Lily. He said, "Hey, leave my sister alone. She is not ignorant. You are ignorant. You are mean and rude." He pushed the boy and made him drop the doll. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see. She said, "What's going on here? Why are you fighting?" She saw the doll and the car and the boy. She said, "This boy took Lily's doll and hurt it. That's not nice. That's not how we treat toys or people. You should apologize and say sorry." + +The boy looked scared and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was ignorant. I didn't test the doll. I just wanted it. Can I have the car instead?" + +Tom said, "No, you can't. The car is mine. I tested it and I like it. You can't have it. You have to find your own toy." + +Mom said, "That's right. You have to find your own toy and test it before you buy it. And you have to be kind and respectful to others. That's how we learn and have fun." + +The boy nodded and walked away. He said, "I'm sorry. I'll do better next time." + +Lily and Tom hugged Mom and thanked her. They said, "We love you, Mom. You are not ignorant. You are smart and good." They took their toys and went to the cashier. They were happy and proud. They had tested their toys and learned a lesson. +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They open the box and see many old toys. They see a train, a plane, a boat and a car. They are very happy. + +They take the toys to the yard and make a track with sticks and stones. They put the train on the track and push it. The train goes fast and makes a loud noise.

They put the car on the road and make it drive. The car goes very fast and makes a loud noise. + +Sam and Tom have fun with the toys. They take turns to play with each one. They laugh and shout. They do not see their dog, Rex, who is watching them. Rex is bored. He wants to play too. He sees the car on the road and runs after it. He catches the car with his teeth and shakes it. The car breaks and falls. Rex is happy. He drops the car and looks for another toy. + +Sam and Tom hear a loud wreck. They turn and see the car on the ground. They see Rex with the car in his mouth.

He has no more toys. He is sad. + +Sam and Tom follow Rex to the garage. They see him under the box. They are still angry. They want their toys back. They pull Rex out of the box. Rex whines and licks them. He is sorry. He did not mean to break their toys. He just wanted to play. + +Sam and Tom look at Rex. They look at their toys. They are broken and dirty. They are sad. They love their toys. They hug their toys. They hug Rex. They love Rex. They are sorry. They did not mean to yell at him. They just wanted their toys. + +Rex looks at Sam and Tom. He looks at their toys. He is sorry. He loves Sam and Tom. He loves their toys. He hugs Sam and Tom. He hugs their toys. He is happy. He wants to play. + +Sam and Tom look at each other.

He thinks Lily is not nice. He waits for Lily to look away. Then he grabs the car and runs. Lily sees him and gets angry. She runs after him. + +"Give it back! Give it back!" Lily shouts. + +Max does not listen. He runs to the garden. He sees a big hole. He thinks it is a good place to hide the car. He throws the car in the hole. He smiles. He thinks Lily will not find it. + +But the hole is not empty. It is the home of a big dog. The dog hears the car. He wakes up. He sees the car. He thinks it is a bone. He opens his mouth. He bites the car. He makes a loud noise. + +Lily and Max hear the noise. They go to the hole. They see the dog. They see the car in his mouth. They are scared. They cry. + +"Help! Help!" they scream. + +The dog does not like the noise. He does not like the car. He spits out the car. He barks at Lily and Max. He chases them away. + +Lily and Max run to the house.

But they knew they had to be careful of the shark. The shark was big and mean and had sharp teeth. He liked to chase and bite anything that moved. + +One day, Tim and Lily saw the shark near the shore. He was swimming slowly and looked dull. He did not seem to notice them. Tim had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's go and splash the shark. Maybe he will wake up and play with us." + +Lily was scared. She said, "No, Tim, that is a bad idea. The shark might get angry and hurt us. And Mom and Dad will punish us if they see us near the shark. They told us to stay away from him." + +But Tim did not listen. He was curious and brave. He swam closer to the shark and threw some water at him. The shark felt the splash and opened his eyes. He saw Tim and Lily and growled. He was not dull anymore. He was hungry and angry. + +He swam fast towards Tim and Lily and opened his mouth. Tim and Lily screamed and turned around. They tried to swim back to the shore. But the shark was faster.

The shark felt pain and let go of Tim and Lily. He swam away, scared and hurt. + +Mom and Dad hugged Tim and Lily and brought them to the shore. They were glad they were safe. But they were also angry. They said, "Tim and Lily, you were very naughty and foolish. You should never go near the shark. He is dangerous and can kill you. You could have been his lunch. We are going to punish you. You are not allowed to swim in the sea for a week. And you have to say sorry to the shark for splashing him. He did not want to play with you. He wanted to eat you." + +Tim and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We are sorry, shark. We will not do it again. We will be good and listen to you. We will stay away from the shark. We do not want to be his lunch. We want to be your children." +Lily and Ben wanted to fly their kite in the park. They asked their mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but they had to stay close to her and be careful of the cars and the dogs. + +They ran to the park with their kite and found a big open space. They took turns holding the kite and running with it. The kite flew high in the sky and made them happy. They laughed and shouted as they watched it. + +But then a big gust of wind came and took the kite away. It flew over the trees and out of sight. Lily and Ben were frightened.

They saw a fairy in a flower. The fairy was very small and had wings. She was shiny and pretty. + +"Hello, fairy," Lily said. "Can you do magic?" + +"Yes, I can," the fairy said. "But you have to be nice to me. If you are bad, bad things will happen." + +Lily and Tom wanted to see magic. They asked the fairy to make a rainbow, a cake, and a puppy. The fairy did what they asked. They were happy and thanked the fairy. + +But then Tom had a bad idea. He wanted to catch the fairy and keep her in a jar. He grabbed the fairy when she was not looking. The fairy was scared and angry. + +"Let me go, let me go!" the fairy shouted. "You are bad, very bad! Now bad things will happen to you!" + +The fairy used her magic to make the jar break. She flew away fast.

She likes to hear the birds and the dogs and the other kids. She is happy and safe. + +One day, Lily sees a big hill behind the park. She wants to climb it and see what is on the other side. She asks her mom and dad if she can go, but they say no. They say it is too far and too steep and too dangerous. They say there might be snakes or spiders or bad people. They say she has to stay with them in the park. + +But Lily is curious and brave. She waits until her mom and dad are busy talking to their friends. Then she sneaks away and runs to the hill. She climbs and climbs and climbs. She feels tired and hot and thirsty, but she does not stop. She wants to see what is on the other side. + +She reaches the top of the hill and looks around. She sees a big forest with tall trees and dark shadows. She sees a small path that leads to the forest. She hears a strange noise that sounds like a growl. She feels scared and alone. + +She wants to go back to the park, but she does not know how. She does not see the hill or the park or her mom and dad. She only sees the forest and the path and the noise. She starts to cry and call for help. + +She hears a loud roar that makes her shake. She sees a big animal with sharp teeth and claws coming out of the forest. It is a bear. It is hungry and angry. It sees Lily and runs to her. + +She hears a loud bark that makes her hope. She sees a big dog with soft fur and a collar coming out of the path. It is Rex. It is her mom and dad's friend's dog. It is friendly and brave. It sees Lily and runs to her. + +Rex jumps on the bear and bites its ear. The bear roars and fights back. Rex barks and scratches its nose. The bear runs away and disappears into the forest. Rex licks Lily's face and wags its tail. Lily hugs Rex and says thank you. + +She hears a loud shout that makes her smile. She sees her mom and dad coming up the hill. They look worried and angry. They see Lily and Rex and run to them. They hug Lily and scold her. They say she was naughty and foolish and lucky. They say they love her and they are sorry. They say they are glad she is safe. + +Lily says she is sorry and she loves them. She says she was curious and brave and stupid. She says she is glad they are here. She says she is glad Rex is here.

Lily swings and slides and runs on the grass. She hears the birds and the dogs and the other kids. She is happy and safe. +Lily and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Lily is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs behind a big tree and waits for Lily to find him. He sees a bird on a branch and smiles. The bird has a blue feather on its head. Ben likes blue. + +"Where are you, Ben?" Lily calls. She looks around the park, but she cannot see Ben. She sees the swings, the slide, the sandbox, but no Ben. She walks towards the tree, but she does not know Ben is there. + +Ben hears Lily coming. He wants to surprise her. He picks up the blue feather from the ground and holds it in his hand. He waits for Lily to come closer. He thinks of a funny joke. + +"Boo!" Ben shouts, as he jumps out from behind the tree. He waves the blue feather in front of Lily's face. "Look, I have a feather!" + +Lily screams and laughs. She sees the feather and Ben's happy face. She is not scared, she is amused. She hugs Ben and takes the feather from him. "You are so silly, Ben! You found a feather! Where did you get it?" + +"From the bird," Ben says, pointing to the branch. "The bird is blue and healthy. It can fly and sing. Do you like the bird?" + +"Yes, I like the bird," Lily says, looking at the bird. "And I like the feather. And I like you, Ben. You are a good hider. But I am a better seeker. Let's play again!" + +"Okay, let's play again!" Ben agrees. He gives Lily the feather and runs to find a new hiding spot. Lily counts to ten and then follows him. They play hide and seek until the sun goes down. They have fun and they are happy. They are good friends. +Lily liked to surf. She had a big board and a wet suit. She went to the beach with her dad. He helped her catch the waves. She felt happy and brave. + +One day, a big wave came. Lily wanted to surf it. She paddled hard and stood up. But the wave was too fast and too strong. It pushed Lily off her board. She fell into the water. She could not see or breathe. She was scared. + +Lily's dad saw her fall. He swam to her. He grabbed her and pulled her up. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm here. You're safe." He took her back to the shore. + +Lily was wet and cold. She was also embarrassed. She saw other surfers and people on the beach. They looked at her. Some of them laughed. Lily felt like a baby. She started to cry. She did not want to surf anymore. She wanted to go home. She hated the beach. She hated the wave. She hated herself. +Sara and Tom are playing with blocks. Sara wants to make a house, but Tom wants to make a car. They have different ideas. + +"Let me have the red block," Sara says. "I need it for my roof." + +"No, I need it for my wheel," Tom says. He holds the block tight. + +They both pull on the block. It is difficult to share. + +"Please, Tom, give me the block," Sara says. "You have many other blocks." + +"No, Sara, this is my block," Tom says. He insists on keeping it. + +They both get angry. They say bad words to each other. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. + +"Why are you fighting?" Mom asks. "You should play nicely." + +"Sara wants my block," Tom says. + +"Tom won't share his block," Sara says. + +Mom looks at the block. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you make something together?" Mom says. "You can use the red block and the other blocks. Maybe you can make a house with a car in it." + +Sara and Tom think about it. They like Mom's idea. + +"Okay, let's try," Sara says. + +"Okay, me too," Tom says. + +They stop fighting. They start building. They use the red block and the other blocks. They make a house with a car in it. They are happy. + +"Look, Mom, we made something together," Sara says. + +"Look, Mom, we shared the block," Tom says. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of them. + +"Good job, Sara and Tom," Mom says. "You are very clever and kind. I love you." + +Sara and Tom hug Mom. They love her too. They learned a new word: together. +Lily liked to design things. She used paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make pictures and shapes. She liked to show her designs to her mom and dad, who always said they were very pretty and clever. + +One day, Lily found some corn in the kitchen. It was yellow and had many small seeds. Lily thought it looked interesting. She asked her mom if she could use some corn for her designs. + +"Sure, honey, you can use some corn. But only a little bit, okay? We need some for dinner tonight. And be careful with the scissors, they are sharp. And don't make a mess, please." Mom said. + +"Okay, mom, I will be obedient. Thank you for the corn." Lily said. She took some corn and went to her room. She cut the corn with the scissors and glued the seeds on the paper. She made a sun, a flower, a bird and a star. She was very happy with her designs. She wanted to show them to her mom and dad. + +She ran to the living room, where her mom and dad were watching TV. She held up her designs and said, "Look, mom, dad, I made these with corn. Do you like them?" + +Mom and dad looked at Lily's designs. They smiled and hugged her. They said, "Wow, Lily, these are amazing. You are very creative and talented. We love your designs. And we are proud of you for being obedient and careful. You are a wonderful daughter." + +Lily felt warm and happy. She said, "Thank you, mom, dad. I love you. And I love corn." +Tom and Lily liked to play at the beach. They made sand castles and dug holes. They also liked to swim in the water, but not too far. Their mom always told them to be careful of the big fish that lived in the sea. She said some of them had sharp teeth and could bite. + +One day, Tom and Lily saw a boat on the water. It had a big net and a hook. They wondered what the boat was doing. They asked their mom, but she did not know. She said maybe they were fishing or looking for something. + +Tom and Lily decided to swim closer to the boat. They wanted to see what was in the net and the hook. They did not tell their mom. They thought it would be a fun adventure. + +But when they got near the boat, they saw something scary. It was a big fish with a fin and a tail. It had gray skin and black eyes. It had sharp teeth and could bite. It was a shark. The shark was in the net and the hook. It was trying to get free. It was upset. + +Tom and Lily were scared too. They did not want to be near the shark. They wanted to go back to the beach. They wanted to tell their mom. They started to swim away, but the shark saw them. It made a loud noise and moved fast. It wanted to catch them. + +"Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "Mom! Mom!" + +Their mom heard them. She saw the shark. She was worried. She ran to the water. She called for help. She hoped Tom and Lily would be safe. + +The end. +Tim and Kim liked to play with the big sack in the yard. They would fill it with leaves and jump on it. One day, they saw a big truck come to the house next door. The truck had a long hose and a big tank. The man who drove the truck got out and put the hose in a hole in the ground. + +"What is he doing?" Tim asked. + +"I don't know," Kim said. "Maybe he is putting gas in the hole." + +"Why would he do that?" Tim wondered. + +"Maybe the people next door need gas to cook or to keep warm," Kim guessed. + +They watched the man work for a while. Then they heard a loud noise. The hose came out of the hole and gas came out of it. The gas was pale and smelled bad. The man ran to the truck and turned a knob. The gas stopped coming out. + +"Wow, that was scary," Tim said. + +"Yeah, that was scary," Kim agreed. + +They ran to the sack and hugged it. They felt safe with the sack. They decided not to play with the gas. They liked the sack better. The sack was fun and soft and did not smell bad. The sack was their friend. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big glass on the table. It is full of juice. They both want to drink it. + +"Give me the glass!" Tom says. He tries to grab it from the table. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily says. She pushes Tom away. + +They start to fight. They pull and push each other. They do not talk nicely. They do not share. + +The glass falls from the table. It breaks on the floor. The juice spills everywhere. The glass makes sharp pieces. Tom and Lily stop fighting. They look at the mess. They are scared. + +Mom comes in. She sees the broken glass and the juice. She is angry. She shouts at Tom and Lily. + +"What did you do? You are very naughty! You could have hurt yourself! You have to clean this up! And no more juice for you today!" + +Tom and Lily are sad. They cry. They wish they had talked and shared. They learn that fighting is bad and difficult. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They help to clean the mess. They hug and make up. But they still have no juice. They are thirsty. +Lily likes to taste new things. She likes to taste sweet things, like cake and candy. She likes to taste sour things, like lemon and grape. She likes to taste salty things, like chips and cheese. But she does not like to taste bitter things, like coffee and kale. + +One day, Lily sees a big pink crystal on the table. It looks shiny and pretty. She thinks it is a candy. She wants to taste it. She picks it up and puts it in her mouth. But it is not a candy. It is hard and sharp and hurts her tongue. It tastes bad, like dirt and metal. She spits it out and cries. + +Mom hears Lily cry and runs to her. She sees the pink crystal on the floor and the blood on Lily's tongue. She hugs Lily and says, "Oh, no, Lily, that is not a candy. That is a rock. It is for looking, not for tasting. It is very dangerous to taste rocks. They can cut you and make you sick. You have to be careful what you put in your mouth. Only taste things that are food, okay?" + +Lily nods and says, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry. I won't taste rocks again. I only want to taste good things." Mom kisses Lily and says, "It's okay, Lily. I love you. Let me get you some water and a band-aid. Then we can have some real candy, if you want." Lily smiles and says, "Yes, please. I like candy. Candy is sweet and soft and yummy. Candy is better than rocks." Mom smiles and says, "Yes, it is. Come on, let's go." They go to the kitchen and have some candy. Lily forgets about the pink crystal and enjoys the taste of candy. +Sara and Ben were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, Sara saw a new doll in the shop. It was very pretty and had a dress and shoes. Sara wanted the doll very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +"Please, mom, please! I want the doll! It is so nice!" Sara said. + +"No, Sara, we cannot buy the doll. It is too much money. We have to save for other things. The doll is a luxury. You have many toys already. Be happy with what you have." Mom said. + +Sara was not happy. She was angry and sad. She did not care about other things. She only wanted the doll. + +The next day, Sara and Ben played in the park. Ben brought his new car. It was shiny and fast. He showed it to Sara. + +"Look, Sara, this is my new car. My dad gave it to me. It is so cool!" Ben said. + +Sara looked at the car. She did not like it. She was jealous of Ben. She wanted to have something new too. She had a bad idea. + +She grabbed the car from Ben's hand. She ran away with it. She did not care about Ben's feelings. She only wanted the car. + +"Hey, Sara, give me back my car! That is not nice! That is my car!" Ben shouted. + +He ran after Sara. He tried to catch her. But Sara was faster. She ran to the street. She did not look for cars. She only looked for the doll. + +She saw the shop with the doll. She ran to the door. She did not see the big truck. The truck did not see her. The truck hit her. + +Sara fell to the ground. She dropped the car. She did not get the doll. She did not get anything. She was hurt. She was bleeding. She was not moving. + +Ben saw what happened. He was scared. He was sad. He cried. He ran to Sara. He tried to help her. But it was too late. + +Sara was gone. She did not care about anything. She did not care about Ben. She did not care about mom. She did not care about life. + +She only cared about the doll. The doll was a luxury. The doll was a trouble. The doll was the end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a big worm and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a worm!" Lily said. + +"Wow, that's a long worm!" Ben said. "Can I touch it?" + +Lily nodded and gave him the worm. Ben felt it wriggle in his hand. He made a face. + +"Yuck, it's slimy!" Ben said. "It's disgusting!" + +He threw the worm back in the dirt. Lily laughed. + +"It's not disgusting, it's a worm!" Lily said. "Worms are good for the dirt. They make it soft and rich." + +Ben shrugged. He didn't like worms. He liked beetles better. They had shiny shells and legs. + +"Let's find some beetles!" Ben said. + +Lily agreed. They started to dig again. But then they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a drum. + +"Boom!" The noise said. + +Lily and Ben looked up. They saw dark clouds in the sky. They felt a drop of water on their faces. + +"What's that?" Lily asked. + +"It's thunder!" Ben said. "And rain!" + +They noticed that the wind was blowing hard. The leaves and flowers were dancing in the air. The thunder and rain were getting louder and stronger. + +"Uh-oh, we have to go inside!" Ben said. + +They grabbed their toys and ran to the house. They knocked on the door. Mom opened it. + +"Hi, kids, what's the hurry?" Mom asked. + +"There's thunder and rain outside!" Lily said. + +"It's a storm!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"Don't worry, it's just a storm. It will pass soon. Come on, let's have some cookies and milk. You can tell me about your garden adventure." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben followed Mom to the kitchen. They liked cookies and milk. They liked Mom. They didn't like thunder and rain. They liked the sun and the sky. They hoped the storm would go away soon. They wanted to play in the garden again. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the yard. One day, they found a big box. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's measure the box," Tom said. He had a tape. He put it on one side of the box. "It is very long," he said. + +"I can measure the other side," Sam said. He had a ruler. He put it on the other side of the box. "It is very wide," he said. + +They looked at each other. They smiled. They thought the box was big enough for them to fit in. + +"Let's open the box," Tom said. He pulled the tape. Sam pulled the ruler. They tried to lift the lid. But the lid was very heavy. They could not open the box. + +They felt sad. They wanted to see what was inside. They wondered if there was a toy or a book or a cake. + +"Maybe we need to be stronger," Tom said. He had an idea. He ran to the house. He came back with a book. The book had pictures of animals. He showed Sam a picture of a lion. + +"Look, Sam. This is a lion. It is very strong. It can open the box," Tom said. + +"How can we be like a lion?" Sam asked. + +"We can roar like a lion," Tom said. He made a loud noise. "Roar!" + +Sam made a loud noise too. "Roar!" + +They felt brave. They felt strong. They ran to the box. They pulled the tape and the ruler again. They lifted the lid. They opened the box. + +They looked inside. They saw a blanket. The blanket had pictures of stars. They saw a pillow. The pillow had pictures of moons. They saw a note. The note had words. They could not read the words. But they knew who wrote the note. It was their mom. + +They took out the blanket and the pillow. They hugged them. They felt warm. They felt happy. They read the note with their mom. The note said: + +"Dear Tom and Sam, + +I made this blanket and pillow for you. They are soft and cozy. They are for your bed. I hope you like them. I love you very much. + +Mom" + +Tom and Sam smiled. They loved their mom very much too. They thanked her for the gift. They learned something. They learned that being strong is not only about opening boxes. It is also about being kind and loving. They learned that the best things are not always inside boxes. They are inside hearts. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big dog near the fence. The dog was dirty and had long teeth. It barked loud and ran to them. + +"Help! The dog will scare us!" Lily cried. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom said. They ran to the other way of the park. They looked for a safe place to hide. + +They found a small house under a tree. It was made of wood and had a door and a window. They opened the door and went inside. They hoped the dog would not find them. + +The house was dark and dusty. There were old toys and books on the floor. Lily and Tom looked around. They saw a big spider on the wall. It had eight legs and many eyes. It moved fast and came to them. + +"Help! The spider will scare us!" Tom cried. + +"Run, Tom, run!" Lily said. They ran to the door and opened it. They saw the dog outside. It was still barking and running to them. + +"Help! The dog and the spider will scare us!" Lily and Tom cried. + +They ran to the street and saw a car.

They forgot about the dog and the spider. They only remembered their mom's love. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big rock that they used as a seat. Sometimes they pretended it was a boat or a castle or a rocket. They liked to make wishes on the rock and hope they would come true. + +One day, they saw a new girl in the park. She had a red dress and a yellow hat. She looked sad and lonely. Lila and Ben decided to share their rock with her. + +"Hi, I'm Lila and this is Ben. Do you want to play with us?" Lila asked. + +"Hi, I'm Mia. I'm new here. I don't have any friends," Mia said. + +"You can be our friend. This is our rock. We make wishes on it. Do you have a wish?" Ben said. + +Mia nodded.

They had many toys, but Lily's favorite was a pink doll that could talk and sing. Tom's favorite was a blue car that could make noises and move. + +One day, they went to the toy store with their moms. They saw many new toys that looked fun and shiny.

They both wanted the new toys, but their moms said they had to sell some of their old toys first. + +Lily and Tom decided to sell their toys to each other. Lily said, "I will sell you my pink doll for your blue car." Tom said, "I will sell you my blue car for your pink doll." They agreed and traded their toys. They were happy with their new toys and thanked each other. + +But when they got home, they started to miss their old toys. Lily missed the pink doll that could talk and sing. Tom missed the blue car that could make noises and move. They also saw that their old toys were more popular than their new toys. The other kids wanted to play with the pink doll and the blue car, but not with the purple doll and the red car. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and sorry. They called each other and said, "I want my old toy back. Do you want your old toy back?" They both said yes and agreed to trade their toys again. They met at the park and gave back their toys.

They learned that they should not sell their toys just because they saw new toys. They should be happy with what they have. +Ben and Mia were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs in the water. They were happy and laughed a lot. + +But then Ben saw something big and purple in the waves.

They wanted to play more. They pouted and whined. + +"Please, mom, can we play a little more?" they begged. + +"No, you can't," mom said. "You need to nap. And you need to clean up your mess. Look at the living room. It's very messy. There are toys everywhere. You have to put them in the trunk." + +Lily and Max sighed. They did not like to clean up. They liked to make messes.

Sometimes they would sneak into the kitchen and take some olives when mom was not looking. + +One day, they decided to play a game with the olives. They each took a handful of olives and hid them in different places in the house. Then they tried to find each other's olives. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of mess. + +"Tom, where did you hide your olives?" Lily asked. + +"I hid them in the shoe box, under the bed, in the toy chest, and in the flower pot," Tom said. + +"Lily, where did you hide your olives?" Tom asked. + +"I hid them in the sock drawer, behind the couch, in the book shelf, and in the cookie jar," Lily said. + +They ran around the house, looking for the olives. They found some, but they also lost some. Some olives rolled under the furniture, some olives fell out of the jar, some olives got stuck in the books, and some olives were eaten by the dog. + +When mom came home, she saw the mess and the missing olives. She was not happy. She asked Tom and Lily what they had done. + +"We played a game with the olives, mom," Tom and Lily said. + +"A game? What kind of game?" mom asked. + +"We hid the olives and tried to find them, mom," Tom and Lily said. + +"But you lost some of the olives, and you made a mess, and you wasted the food," mom said. + +"We're sorry, mom," Tom and Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She was not very angry, but she was disappointed. She told Tom and Lily to clean up the mess and to help her make dinner. She also told them to be more careful and wise with the olives next time. + +"Okay, mom," Tom and Lily said. + +They learned their lesson. They still liked to eat olives, but they did not play with them anymore. They only took as many as they could eat, and they shared them with mom and dad. They also thanked mom for the olives, and told her they loved her. Mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of her wise twins. +Jill and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the lamp best. The lamp had a switch that made it bright or dark. Jill and Ben took turns to press the switch and watch the light change. + +"Look, Ben, I can make it blink!" Jill said, as she pressed the switch very fast. + +"That's fun, Jill, but I want to try too!" Ben said, and reached for the switch. + +Jill did not want to share. She pinched Ben's hand and made him cry. + +"Ow, Jill, that hurts! Why did you pinch me?" Ben said, rubbing his hand. + +"Because it's my turn, and you have to wait!" Jill said, holding the switch. + +Ben was angry and sad. He wanted to pinch Jill back, but he knew that was wrong. He looked around and saw Mom sleeping on the couch. She was very sleepy, because she worked hard all day. Ben had an idea. + +He tiptoed to the couch and whispered in Mom's ear. "Mom, Mom, Jill pinched me and won't let me play with the lamp!" + +Mom opened her eyes and saw Jill playing with the switch. She frowned and got up. She walked to the lamp and turned it off. + +"Jill, Ben, no more playing with the lamp. It's not a toy, and you can break it or hurt yourself. And Jill, you should not pinch your brother. That's not nice. Say sorry to Ben, and then go to your room. It's time for a nap." Mom said, in a stern voice. + +Jill felt sorry and scared. She did not want to go to her room. She wanted to play with the lamp. She said sorry to Ben, but he did not smile. He was still angry and sad. Jill wished she had shared the switch with him. She learned her lesson. She followed Mom to her room, and lay down on her bed. She was not sleepy, but she closed her eyes. She hoped Ben would forgive her, and they could play together again. +Lily was a shy girl who did not like to talk to other kids. She liked to watch films on her tablet and play with her dolls. One day, her mom told her to go to the park with her brother Tom and make some friends. Lily did not want to go, but her mom said she would punish her if she did not listen. + +At the park, Tom ran to the swings and the slide and had fun with other kids. Lily sat on a bench and watched her tablet. She did not look at anyone or say hello. She was happy with her film. But then, a big boy came and snatched her tablet. He said it was his turn and ran away. Lily was scared and sad. She cried and called for Tom. + +Tom heard her and came to help. He saw the big boy with the tablet and got angry. He chased him and grabbed the tablet back. He gave it to Lily and hugged her. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I am here for you. But you should not be so shy. You should try to make some friends. They can be nice and fun. And you can share your films with them. Maybe they like the same films as you." + +Lily wiped her tears and nodded. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I am sorry I was so shy. I will try to make some friends. Can you help me?" Tom smiled and said, "Of course I can. Come on, let's go to the sandbox. I see some kids there who like to build castles. Maybe you can join them." Lily agreed and followed Tom. She put away her tablet and took out her dolls. She said hello to the kids and asked if they wanted to play with her dolls. The kids smiled and said yes. They played together and had fun. Lily made some friends and learned to share. She was happy and so was Tom. + +The moral of the story is: Being shy can make you miss out on fun and friendship. You should try to be brave and talk to other people. They can be kind and share your interests. And you should always listen to your mom. She knows what is good for you. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They found a big box with some tools inside. Lily picked up a hammer and wanted to hit the box. + +"Look, Ben, I have a hammer!" she said. + +Ben saw the hammer and felt scared. He did not like loud noises or hard things. He urged Lily to put the hammer down. + +"Please, Lily, no hammer. Hammer is bad. Hammer makes noise. Hammer hurts box. Put hammer back," he said. + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She liked the hammer. She thought it was fun to hit the box. She hit the box harder and harder. The box made a loud bang. Ben covered his ears and cried. + +"Stop, Lily, stop! You are mean. You make me sad. You make box sad. Hammer is not fun. Hammer is mean," he said. + +Lily heard Ben cry and felt sorry. She did not want to make Ben or the box sad. She stopped hitting the box and put the hammer back. She hugged Ben and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not know you did not like hammer. I did not know hammer was mean. I will be gentle. I will not hit box. I will play with you. Do you want to play with me?" she said. + +Ben nodded and smiled. He forgave Lily. He was glad she was gentle. He wanted to play with her. They looked for something else to play with in the box. They found a ball and a teddy bear. They played with the ball and the teddy bear. They had fun. They were happy. +Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play near the sea. They saw many shells and fish and crabs. Sometimes they found oysters, which had shiny pearls inside. They knew that pearls were very precious and made people wealthy. + +One day, they saw a big boat with many people on it. The people were wearing nice clothes and jewelry. They had a big net and were catching many oysters from the water. Tim and Sue wanted to see the pearls, so they sneaked onto the boat when the people were not looking. + +They found a big basket full of oysters and opened some of them. They saw many beautiful pearls of different colors. They wanted to keep some for themselves, so they put them in their pockets. But they did not know that the people on the boat had a guard dog, who smelled them and barked loudly. + +The people heard the dog and ran to the basket. They saw Tim and Sue with the pearls and were very angry. They shouted at them and called them thieves. They said they would punish them and take them to the police. Tim and Sue were very scared and sorry. They begged the people to forgive them and said they would give back the pearls. + +The people saw that Tim and Sue were just children who did not know better. They decided to let them go, but they made them promise to never steal again. They also taught them that oysters were living creatures who needed the pearls to protect themselves. They said that pearls were not worth more than life and kindness. Tim and Sue learned their lesson and thanked the people. They ran back to their home and hugged their mom. They never stole again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with flowers and grass. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go!" Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they ran to the hill. + +They climbed and climbed until they reached the top. They saw a big lake with ducks and fish. They also saw a man with a long stick. The stick had a string and a hook. The man was trying to catch fish. + +"Look, Lily, he has a weapon!" Tom said. He pointed at the stick. + +"No, Tom, that's not a weapon, that's a fishing rod. He uses it to catch fish for food," Lily said. She knew more words than Tom. + +"Oh, I see. Can we try it?" Tom asked. + +They walked to the man and said hello. The man was cheerful and friendly. He smiled and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want to learn how to fish?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. + +The man showed them how to hold the rod and how to throw the hook into the water. He told them to wait until they felt a tug. Then they had to pull the rod and spring the fish out of the water. + +Tom and Lily tried it. They waited and waited. Then they felt a tug. They pulled and pulled. They sprang a big fish out of the water. They were so happy and proud. They thanked the man and gave him the fish. + +They ran back to the hill and told their mom what they did. Their mom was proud of them too. She hugged them and said, "You are very brave and smart. You learned something new today. I love you." + +Tom and Lily smiled and said, "We love you too, mom." They had a fun day at the park. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play in the snow. One day, they saw a tall man selling fireplaces. The fireplaces were shiny and warm. Tom and Lily wanted to buy one. + +"Can we have a fireplace, please?" they asked the tall man. + +"Sure, kids. A fireplace is only five coins. Do you have enough?" the tall man said. + +Tom and Lily looked in their pockets. They had four coins. They were sad. + +"Can we have it for four coins?" they begged. + +The tall man shook his head. "No, no, no. Five coins or no fireplace. That's the deal." + +Tom and Lily thought hard. They had an idea. They ran home and took their mom's necklace. It had a big shiny stone. They thought it was worth a lot of coins. + +They ran back to the tall man and showed him the necklace. + +"Look, look, look. We have this. Can we trade it for a fireplace?" they asked. + +The tall man smiled. He took the necklace and gave them a fireplace. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Tom and Lily said. They were happy. + +They dragged the fireplace home and put it in their room. They turned it on and watched the flames. They felt cozy and warm. + +But they did not know that the fireplace was broken. It made a lot of smoke. The smoke filled their room and the house. It made them cough and cry. It set the curtains on fire. It made a loud noise. + +Their mom and dad heard the noise and smelled the smoke. They ran to their room and saw the fire. They were angry and scared. + +"Tom! Lily! What have you done?" they shouted. + +They grabbed Tom and Lily and ran outside. They called the firemen. The firemen came and put out the fire. But it was too late. The house was burned and ruined. + +Tom and Lily were sorry. They had lost their home and their mom's necklace. They had made a big mistake. They wished they had never bought the fireplace. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today is a special day. It is their mom's birthday. They want to give her a gift. + +They look around their room. They see a picture they made with crayons. It is a picture of their family. They think mom will like it. They also see a shiny stone they found in the park. It is smooth and pretty. They think mom will like it too. + +They find some paper and tape. They wrap the picture and the stone with the paper. They make a bow with a ribbon. They are happy with their gift. They put it in a bag. + +They go to the kitchen. They see mom making a cake. She is busy and does not see them. They hide the bag behind their backs. They wait for the right time. + +They say, "Mom, we have something for you!" They give her the bag. She smiles and hugs them. She opens the bag. She sees the picture and the stone. She says, "Thank you, Tom and Lily! This is the best gift ever! You are so thoughtful and creative! I love you so much!" + +She puts the picture on the fridge. She puts the stone in her palm. She says, "This stone is very important. It reminds me of you and how much you love me. I will keep it always." She kisses them on their cheeks. They are happy.

And there is a lock on the door. A big, shiny lock. They cannot open the door. They are stuck outside. + +"Mom! Mom! We are here! The door is locked!" Anna and Ben shout. They bang on the door. They hope mom can hear them. But mom does not hear them. She is in the car. She is waiting for them. She does not know they are outside. + +Mom forgets to check the door. She forgets Anna and Ben are in the garden. She thinks they are in the car. She drives away. She goes to the shop. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They are scared. They are cold. They do not have their coats. They do not have their toys. They do not have mom. They cry. + +A neighbor hears them. He comes to see what is wrong. He sees the lock on the door. He sees Anna and Ben. He asks them what happened. They tell him their story. + +The neighbor is angry. He is angry at mom. He thinks mom is bad. He thinks mom does not love Anna and Ben. He calls mom on his phone. He tells her to come back. He tells her to open the door. He tells her to say sorry. + +Mom is shocked. She is shocked when she hears the neighbor. She is shocked when she sees Anna and Ben.

She points to the sign and says, "Mom, look! Ponies! Can I ride a pony, please?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Sure, Anna. Let's go and see the ponies." They walk to the pony ride area and see many ponies of different colors and sizes. Anna sees a brown pony that looks like Lily. She runs to the pony and says, "Hello, pony! You are so pretty! Can I ride you?" + +The pony rider nods and says, "Yes, you can. This pony's name is Coco. She is very gentle and friendly. Do you want to wear a helmet?" + +Anna says, "Yes, please." The pony rider helps Anna put on a helmet and lifts her onto Coco's back. He says, "Hold on to the saddle and don't be afraid. I will walk with you and Coco around the park." + +Anna feels excited and happy. She says, "Thank you, pony rider. I love Coco. She is like my toy pony Lily." She strokes Coco's neck and says, "Hello, Coco. You are a good pony. I am Anna. We are friends." + +Coco neighs and starts to walk. Anna feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She sees the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the other children in the park. She shouts, "This is fun! I love riding a pony!" + +Mom follows Anna and Coco and takes pictures. She says, "You are doing great, Anna. You look like a real cowgirl. I am proud of you." + +Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love ponies!" +Tom and Lily are brother and sister.

Sometimes they watch funny films, sometimes they watch scary films, sometimes they watch sad films. But they always watch films together. + +One day, Ben and Lily find a new film in the box. It is a thin film, not like the other films. Ben wants to watch it. He thinks it is a funny film. He puts it in the TV and turns it on. + +But it is not a funny film. It is a very scary film. There are big monsters and loud noises and dark places. Lily is scared. She does not like the film. She wants to turn it off. + +"Ben, turn it off! Turn it off!" she cries. + +"No, Lily, it is a good film. I want to watch it. You are a baby. You do not know anything," Ben says. + +"Yes, I do! I know this film is bad. It is too scary for us. It is not for little kids. It is for big kids. We are not big kids. We are little kids. Turn it off, Ben, please!" Lily begs. + +Ben and Lily start to fight.

She sees the film and the TV and the remote and the mess. She sees Ben and Lily fighting. She is angry. + +"Ben! Lily! Stop it! What are you doing? Why are you watching this film? This film is not for you. This film is for grown-ups. You are not grown-ups. You are little kids. You do not know what this film is about. It is too scary and too bad for you. You should not watch it. You should watch nice films. Nice films that make you happy and smart and kind. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Ben and Lily stop fighting. They look at Mom. They look at the film. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They nod. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry. We do not want to watch this film. We want to watch nice films.

But she loved her mom. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll and Ben had an automobile. Ben liked to make the automobile go fast and make loud noises. Anna liked to dress up the doll and talk to her. + +"Look at my automobile, Anna. It is very fast and strong. It can complete any race," Ben said, zooming the automobile around the carpet. + +"That is nice, Ben. But my doll is very pretty and smart. She can complete any puzzle," Anna said, putting a hat on the doll's head. + +They played for a while, but then they got bored. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's go outside and see the real automobiles," Ben suggested. "Maybe we can find one that is faster and stronger than mine." + +"OK, let's go," Anna agreed. "Maybe we can find one that is prettier and smarter than my doll." + +They put on their shoes and coats and ran outside. They saw many automobiles on the street. Some were big and some were small. Some were red and some were blue. Some were shiny and some were dirty. + +But they all looked ordinary to Anna and Ben. They did not see any that were faster, stronger, prettier, or smarter than their toys. + +They were disappointed and sad. They wanted to see something special and different. + +"Let's go back inside, Anna. These automobiles are boring," Ben said. + +"Yes, let's go back, Ben.

It catches up with them and grabs their ball and their kite. + +Tom and Lily are sad and angry. They want their ball and their kite back. They think of a plan. They see a big rock near the tree. They run to the rock and pick it up. They throw the rock at the skeleton. The rock hits the skeleton hard. The skeleton breaks into many pieces. It falls to the ground and makes no noise. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They get their ball and their kite back. They run away from the skeleton. They go home and tell their mom and dad what happened.

They are not afraid of the skeleton anymore. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play near the pond. They had a rod that they used to catch fish. One day, they saw a big fish swimming in the water. Ben wanted to catch it, but Lily said, "No, Ben, that fish is too big for us. It might pull us in the pond. Let's catch a smaller one." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He threw the rod in the water and tried to hook the big fish. The fish saw the rod and bit it. Ben felt a tug and pulled hard. But the fish was stronger than Ben. It dragged him towards the pond. Ben was scared and cried, "Help, Lily, help!" + +Lily ran to Ben and grabbed his hand. She tried to pull him back, but the fish was still pulling. Lily saw a big rock near the pond. She had an idea. She said, "Ben, let go of the rod. It's not worth it. The fish can have it. We can get another one later." + +Ben was confused, but he trusted Lily. He let go of the rod and felt the fish swim away. Lily and Ben fell on the grass, safe and sound. They hugged each other and said, "Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Ben. We are glad we have each other." + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some things are not worth risking their lives for. They learned that listening to each other can save them from trouble. They learned that being calm and smart can help them solve problems. They also learned that the pond was not a good place to play with a rod. They decided to play somewhere else next time. +Lily likes to swing. She likes to feel the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She likes to go high and fast and see the trees and the sky. She likes to wear her pink skirt when she swings. It makes her feel like a fairy. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom and dad. She runs to the swing and asks her dad to push her. He pushes her gently and she giggles. She swings higher and higher and feels happy. She sees a bird flying by and waves to it. + +But then, something bad happens. A big dog comes to the park. It sees Lily's pink skirt and thinks it is a toy. It runs to the swing and jumps at Lily. It tries to grab her skirt with its teeth. Lily screams and feels scared. Her dad runs to her and pulls her off the swing. He hugs her and tells her it is okay. He shoos the dog away and tells it to go home. + +Lily looks at her skirt and sees that it is messy. It has dirt and holes and dog spit on it. She feels sad and angry. She liked her pink skirt. It was her favorite. She starts to cry and tells her dad that the dog ruined her skirt. + +Her dad wipes her tears and tells her that he is sorry. He tells her that he will buy her a new skirt. He tells her that he loves her and that she is brave. He tells her that they can still have fun at the park.

They feel the wind and the snow on their faces. They laugh and scream. + +But then, the box hits a rock. It breaks. Tom and Mia fall out of the box. They roll down the hill. They land in a pile of snow. + +They are not hurt. They are cold and wet. They look at each other. They start to giggle. + +"That was fun!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it was fun!" Mia says. + +They get up and shake off the snow. They see the broken box. They are sad. + +"Can we slide again?" Mia asks. + +"No, we can't. The box is broken. We need a new sled." Tom says. + +They look around. They see a big plastic trash can. It is empty. It is available. + +"Look, Mia! A new sled!" Tom says. + +"Wow, Tom! A new sled!" Mia says. + +They run to the trash can. They turn it over. They put it on the hill. They get inside. + +"Are you ready, Mia?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, I am ready, Tom!" Mia says. + +They push the trash can and it slides down the hill. They go very fast. They feel the wind and the snow on their faces. They laugh and scream. + +They do not hit any rocks. They do not break the trash can. They do not fall out. They slide all the way to the bottom of the hill. + +They are happy. They are cold and wet. They look at each other. They smile. + +"That was fun!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it was fun!" Mia says. + +They hug each other. They do not freeze. They are warm inside. They have a lot of fun. +One day, a young boy named Tom went to the park with his dad.

But be careful, don't go too close to the water," his dad said. + +Tom took the net and ran to the pond. He saw a big fish swimming near the edge. He tried to catch it with his net, but the fish was too fast. It swam away. + +"Come here, fish! Come here!" Tom shouted. + +He chased the fish around the pond, but he could not catch it. He was so busy that he did not see a duck behind him. The duck was angry that Tom was disturbing the fish. It quacked loudly and bit Tom's leg. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!"

They are very pretty, don't you think?" his dad said. + +Tom nodded. He looked at the pond and saw the fish swimming happily. He also saw the duck swimming with its friends. He felt a little sorry for the duck. + +"Maybe the duck was just protecting the fish. Maybe it was its friend," he said. + +"Maybe, Tom. Maybe. But next time, let's stay away from the duck, okay?" his dad said. + +"Okay, dad. Next time, I will just look at the fish. And the duck," Tom said. + +They smiled and walked away from the pond.
