He looked at the man who was running to him. He looked angry and sad. He said, "Ben, what have you done? You didn't listen to me. You zoomed too fast and too far. You broke the car. You broke the gift. You broke my heart." + +Ben felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, uncle Jack. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to play. I just wanted to zoom. I just wanted to have fun." + +The man sighed and said, "I know, Ben. I know. But you have to be careful. You have to be responsible. You have to be respectful. You can't just zoom and zoom and zoom. You have to think and think and think." + +He hugged Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. I still love you. But next time, please listen to me. And maybe, just maybe, I'll get you another car. A smaller one. A safer one. A quieter one." + +Ben nodded and said, "Okay, uncle Jack. I'll listen to you. And maybe, just maybe, I'll get to zoom again. A slower one. A closer one. A quieter one." +Ben and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big hole that they dug with their shovels. They called it their underground house. They pretended to be animals that lived underground, like moles and rabbits. + +One day, they found a dress in the hole. It was red and shiny, with buttons and lace. It looked like a princess dress. Lily wanted to try it on. She asked Ben to help her. + +"Where did this dress come from?" Ben wondered. + +"Maybe someone left it here by mistake," Lily said. "Or maybe it's a magic dress that came from the underground fairy." + +Lily put on the dress over her clothes. She twirled and danced in the garden. She felt like a princess. + +"Wow, you look so pretty," Ben said. "Can I try it on too?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, it's mine. You can be my prince. You can wear this hat." She gave him a straw hat that was in the hole. + +Ben put on the hat. He felt silly. He wanted to wear the dress too. He thought it looked more fun. + +They played for a while, until they heard their mom calling them. + +"Ben! Lily! Time for lunch!" + +They ran to the house. Lily forgot to take off the dress. She hid it under her coat. + +At the table, their mom noticed something red and shiny under Lily's coat. + +"What's that, Lily?" she asked. + +Lily felt guilty. She knew she had to tell the truth. + +She took off her coat and showed the dress. + +"I found it in the hole," she said. "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to play with it." + +Their mom looked surprised. She recognized the dress. + +"That's Mrs. Jones' dress," she said. "She was looking for it yesterday. She said she hung it on the clothesline and it disappeared. How did it end up in your hole?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They didn't know. They felt more guilty. + +They apologized to their mom. They said they would return the dress to Mrs. Jones and say sorry to her too. + +Their mom hugged them. She said she was glad they were honest. She said they could still play in the hole, but they had to be careful with other people's things. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to dress up with their own clothes next time. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a camp with a tent, a fire and some toys. They also had a bow and some arrows that their dad gave them. He told them to be careful and not shoot at animals or people. + +One day, they saw a big deer near their camp. Ben wanted to shoot it with his bow. He thought it would be fun and he could show his dad. Sam said no, that was bad and mean. He said they should leave the deer alone and play with their toys. Ben did not listen. He took his bow and an arrow and sneaked behind a tree. + +He aimed at the deer and pulled the string. But he did not see a branch that was in the way. The arrow hit the branch and bounced back. It flew towards Sam, who was sitting by the fire. Sam saw the arrow and screamed. He ducked and rolled away. The arrow missed him, but it hit the tent. The tent caught fire and burned. + +Ben ran to Sam and said he was sorry. He said he was stupid and he did not mean to hurt him or the tent. Sam was scared and angry. He said Ben was not reliable. He said he did not want to play with him anymore. He said he wanted to go home. + +They heard their dad's voice. He was coming to check on them. He saw the smoke and the fire and the arrow. He was very mad. He said they were in big trouble. He said they had to pack their things and leave the camp. He said they had to learn to be good and safe and reliable. He said they had to bow their heads and say sorry to each other and to the deer. +Ben loves planes. He likes to watch them fly in the sky. He wants to be a pilot when he grows up. He has a toy plane that he plays with every day. + +One day, Ben's mom takes him to the airport. She says they are going to visit his grandma. Ben is very happy. He sees many planes on the ground and in the air. He wants to go inside one of them. + +They go to a gate and wait for their plane. Ben sees a man in a blue suit and a hat. He has a badge that says "pilot". Ben walks up to him and says, "Hello, are you a pilot?" + +The man smiles and says, "Yes, I am. Do you like planes?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, I do. I want to be a pilot too." + +The man says, "That's great. Do you want to see the cockpit?" + +Ben nods again and says, "Yes, please!" + +The man takes Ben by the hand and leads him to the front of the plane. He shows him the seats, the buttons, the levers, and the windows. He explains what they do and how they fly the plane. Ben listens and watches with wonder. He thinks it is very cool. + +The man says, "Do you want to sit in the pilot's seat and pretend to fly?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, yes, yes!" + +The man helps Ben climb into the seat and puts a headset on him. He says, "Now you can talk to me and the tower. Say hello." + +Ben says, "Hello, this is Ben, the pilot." + +The man says, "Hello, Ben, the pilot. This is Mike, the co-pilot. Are you ready to fly?" + +Ben says, "Yes, I am. Let's go!" + +The man says, "OK, Ben, let's go. Push this lever to start the engine." + +Ben pushes the lever and hears a loud noise. He feels the plane shake. He says, "Wow, this is fun!" + +The man says, "Now, pull this lever to lift the nose." + +Ben pulls the lever and feels the plane go up. He sees the ground get smaller and the sky get bigger. He says, "Wow, this is amazing!" + +The man says, "Now, turn this wheel to steer the plane." + +Ben turns the wheel and feels the plane tilt. He sees the clouds and the sun. He says, "Wow, this is awesome!" + +The man says, "You're doing great, Ben. You're a natural pilot. Do you want to do a loop?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, I do. Let's do a loop!" + +The man says, "OK, Ben, hold on tight. Push this lever to go faster." + +Ben pushes the lever and feels the plane go faster. He says, "Whee!" + +The man says, "Now, pull this lever to go up." + +Ben pulls the lever and feels the plane go up. He says, "Yay!" + +The man says, "Now, keep pulling until you see the ground again." + +Ben keeps pulling and feels the plane go upside down. He says, "Whoa!" + +The man says, "Now, let go of the lever and let the plane level out." + +Ben lets go of the lever and feels the plane go right side up. He says, "Wow, that was cool!" + +The man says, "You did it, Ben. You did a loop. How do you feel?" + +Ben says, "I feel dizzy, but happy. That was the best thing ever!" + +The man says, "I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ben. You're a brave and smart pilot. Maybe one day you'll fly a real plane." + +Ben says, "Thank you, Mike. You're a nice and fun pilot. Maybe one day I'll fly with you again." + +The man says, "You're welcome, Ben. It was a pleasure to fly with you. Now, let's go back to your mom. She might be worried." + +Ben says, "OK, let's go. Bye, plane. Bye, sky. Bye, clouds. Bye, sun." + +The man says, "Bye, Ben. Have a nice trip. See you soon." + +They get out of the cockpit and walk back to the gate. Ben sees his mom and runs to her. He hugs her and says, "Mom, mom, I flew a plane. I did a loop. It was so fun. Mike is a pilot. He showed me everything. He is so cool. I want to be a pilot too." + +His mom smiles and says, "Wow, Ben, that sounds amazing. I'm so proud of you. You're a very lucky boy. Mike is a very kind pilot. Did you say thank you to him +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they also liked to tease each other. Sometimes they would pull each other's hair, or hide each other's toys, or make funny faces. + +One day, they saw a big pond in the park. It had water, fish and ducks. Anna and Ben wanted to see more. They ran to the pond and looked inside. The water was deep and clear. They could see the fish swimming and the ducks diving. + +"Wow, look at the fish!" Anna said. "They are so pretty and shiny. I wonder what they eat." + +"Maybe they eat bugs," Ben said. "Or maybe they eat your hair. It looks like seaweed." + +Ben reached out and pulled Anna's hair. Anna screamed and pushed Ben. Ben lost his balance and fell into the pond. He splashed and cried. Anna was scared. She did not mean to make Ben fall. + +"Ben, Ben, are you okay?" Anna shouted. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you." + +Anna ran to get help. She saw a man with a hat and a whistle. He was a park ranger. She told him what happened. He ran to the pond and helped Ben out. He wrapped him in a towel and checked him. He was wet and cold, but not hurt. + +"Anna, Ben, you should not tease each other near the pond," the park ranger said. "The pond is deep and dangerous. You could drown or get sick. You should be kind and careful with each other." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They felt sorry and ashamed. They hugged each other and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They decided to play nicely and not tease each other anymore. They thanked the park ranger and went home. They were still friends. +Tom and Lily like to play with their crayons and paper. They make many pictures of animals, cars, and houses. Sometimes they show their pictures to mom and dad, and they say "good job" and "very nice". + +One day, Tom and Lily find a new toy in the closet. It is a gun that makes a loud noise and shoots little balls. Tom and Lily think it is fun to shoot the balls at the wall, the floor, and the door. They laugh and run around the room. + +But then, Tom sees Lily's paper on the table. It has a picture of a big flower with many colors. Tom thinks it is a silly picture. He wants to shoot a ball at it and make a hole. He picks up the gun and aims at the paper. + +Lily sees what Tom is doing. She shouts "no, no, no!" She runs to the table and grabs her paper. She loves her picture and does not want Tom to ruin it. She is stubborn and does not let go. + +Tom and Lily pull and tug at the paper. They are angry and loud. The paper rips in half. Tom and Lily cry and drop the gun and the paper. Mom and dad hear the noise and come to the room. They see the mess and the broken toy. They are not happy. They scold Tom and Lily and take away the gun. They tell them to say sorry and hug each other. They tell them to be careful and kind with their toys and their pictures. Tom and Lily feel bad and do what mom and dad say. They hug and say sorry. They pick up their crayons and paper and make new pictures. They share and help each other. They are friends again. +Jenny and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big ball of string in their dad's drawer. They decided to use it to make a spider web in their room. + +They tied the string to the bed, the chair, the lamp, and the door. They made a big web that filled the room. They were very happy and proud of their work. + +But their mom was not happy. She came to their room and saw the mess. She was angry and said, "What have you done? This is not a web, this is a trap! You have made the room very untidy. You have to clean it up right now!" + +Jenny and Ben were sad and scared. They did not want to clean up. They liked their web. They said, "But mom, we were just playing. We made a web like a spider. It is fun and pretty. Please let us keep it." + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, you cannot keep it. It is not fun and pretty, it is dangerous and ugly. You could trip and fall, or break something, or hurt yourself. And it is not nice to take things that are not yours. The string belongs to dad. He needs it for his work. You have to give it back to him and say sorry." + +Jenny and Ben realized that mom was right. They had been naughty and selfish. They had not thought about dad or mom or their room. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "OK, mom, we are sorry. We will clean up and give back the string. We will not do it again." + +Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Jenny and Ben. I am glad you understand. I love you, but you have to be careful and respectful. Playing is good, but not when it hurts or bothers others. Next time, ask before you take something. And always keep your room tidy." + +Jenny and Ben nodded and hugged mom. They learned their lesson. They untied the string and put it back in dad's drawer. They also put away their toys and made their bed. They made their room tidy and nice. They felt happy and proud of their work. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to perform a show for their mom and dad. They put on funny hats and scarves and found a big pot in the kitchen. + +"Let's pretend this pot is a drum," Tom said. He took a wooden spoon and banged on the pot. "Boom, boom, boom!" + +"Let's pretend this pot is a hat," Lily said. She put the pot on her head and spun around. "Whee, whee, whee!" + +Mom and dad watched and clapped. They thought Tom and Lily were very clever and cute. + +"Bravo, bravo!" mom said. "You are great performers!" + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Lily said. They bowed and smiled. + +Mom and dad gave them a big hug and a kiss. They also gave them a sweet treat. It was a cookie with chocolate chips. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" Tom and Lily said. They ate the cookie and shared the pot. They were happy and full. They loved to perform and they loved their mom and dad. +Ben and Mia are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they like the lamp best. The lamp is high on the table. It has a blue shade and a yellow bulb. When they turn it on, it makes a bright light. + +"Look, Mia, the lamp is on!" Ben says. He points to the lamp. "It is so shiny!" + +"Yes, Ben, it is shiny!" Mia says. She claps her hands. "Can we touch it?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers what Mommy said. "No, Mia, we cannot touch it. Mommy said it is hot. It can hurt us." + +Mia makes a sad face. She wants to touch the lamp. She sees a chair near the table. She has an idea. "Ben, I have an idea. We can use the chair. We can climb on the chair. Then we can touch the lamp." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not like the idea. "No, Mia, that is a bad idea. Mommy said we cannot climb on the chair. We can fall. We can break the lamp. We can make a big mess." + +Mia does not listen to Ben. She runs to the chair. She pushes it to the table. She climbs on the chair. She reaches for the lamp. "Look, Ben, I can touch it!" + +Ben is scared. He runs to Mia. He tries to pull her down. "Mia, stop! You are being naughty! Come down now!" + +But Mia does not stop. She grabs the lamp. She pulls it hard. The lamp falls off the table. It hits the floor. It breaks into pieces. The light goes out. The room is dark. + +Ben and Mia are shocked. They hear Mommy coming. They hear her footsteps. They hear her voice. "What was that noise? What happened here?" + +Ben and Mia look at each other. They look at the broken lamp. They look at Mommy. They are in trouble. They do not know what to say. +Ben likes to look for beetles in the garden. He has a jar with holes in the lid, where he keeps his beetles. He gives them leaves and water, and watches them crawl and dig. + +One day, he finds a big black beetle with shiny spots on its back. He is very happy, and puts it in his jar. He wants to show it to his mom and dad, who are in the house. + +He runs to the house, holding his jar. He sees his mom in the kitchen. She is preparing food for dinner. She has a knife and a cutting board, and some red things that look like balls. + +"Mom, look what I found!" Ben says, and shows her his jar. + +Mom looks at the jar, and smiles. "Wow, that's a beautiful beetle, Ben. What are you going to name it?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He looks at the red things on the cutting board. He remembers that mom calls them beets. He likes how they sound. + +"I'm going to name it Beet," he says. + +Mom laughs. "That's a good name, Ben. But you know, beets are not beetles. They are vegetables. We eat them for dinner. They are good for us." + +Ben frowns. He does not like vegetables. He does not want to eat beets. He does not want Beet to eat beets either. + +He looks at his jar again. He sees Beet crawling on a leaf. He thinks Beet is happy in his jar. He does not want to share him with anyone. + +He hugs his jar, and says, "No, mom. I don't want to eat beets. I want to keep Beet. He is my friend." + +Mom smiles again. She understands that Ben loves his beetle. She does not want to make him sad. + +"Okay, Ben. You can keep Beet. But you have to take good care of him. And you have to try some other vegetables for dinner. How about carrots? They are orange and crunchy. Do you like carrots?" + +Ben nods. He likes carrots. He thinks Beet might like carrots too. + +"Okay, mom. I will try carrots. And I will give some to Beet. Maybe he will like them too." + +Mom hugs Ben, and kisses his cheek. She is proud of him for being brave and kind. + +She says, "That's my good boy. Now, why don't you go and show dad your beetle? He is in the living room, reading a book. He will be happy to see you and Beet." + +Ben smiles. He is happy too. He runs to the living room, holding his jar. He sees dad on the couch, with a big book in his hands. He can see some pictures in the book, of far away places and animals. He thinks dad likes to learn about distant things. + +"Dad, look what I found!" Ben says, and shows him his jar. + +Dad looks at the jar, and his eyes widen. He puts down his book, and takes the jar from Ben. He holds it close to his face, and examines the beetle. + +"Wow, that's an amazing beetle, Ben. Where did you find it?" + +Ben tells him about the garden, and how he likes to look for beetles. He tells him about his jar, and his leaves, and his water. He tells him about his name, and his mom, and his carrots. + +Dad listens to him, and nods. He is impressed by Ben's story. He thinks Ben is smart and curious. + +He says, "That's a wonderful story, Ben. You are a great explorer. And you have a great name for your beetle. Beet is a perfect name for him. He is a very lucky beetle, to have you as his friend." + +Ben beams. He is happy that dad likes his beetle. He thinks dad is smart and curious too. + +He says, "Thank you, dad. You are a great reader. And you are a great dad. I love you." + +Dad hugs Ben, and kisses his forehead. He loves him too. + +He says, "I love you too, Ben. You are a great son. And you make me very happy." + +They smile at each other, and look at the jar. They see Beet crawling on a carrot. He looks happy too. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not like to share them. They always said, "This is mine, not yours!" and "You cannot borrow this, go away!" + +One day, it was very cold outside. The snow was falling and the wind was blowing. Lily and Tom's family had to stay inside their house. They wanted to play, but they were bored of their own toys. They looked at each other's toys and thought, "Maybe I can borrow that for a while." + +Lily saw Tom's train and said, "Can I borrow your train, please? It looks fun." + +Tom said, "No, you cannot. This is my train, not yours. Find something else to play with." + +Tom saw Lily's doll and said, "Can I borrow your doll, please? It looks pretty." + +Lily said, "No, you cannot. This is my doll, not yours. Find something else to play with." + +Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They did not want to play with each other. They sat in their corners and hugged their toys. + +Their mom saw them and said, "What is wrong, Lily and Tom? Why are you not playing together?" + +Lily and Tom said, "We are bored of our toys, but we do not want to share them. We do not want to borrow or lend anything." + +Their mom said, "That is not nice, Lily and Tom. Sharing and borrowing are good things to do. They show that you care and respect each other. They make you happy and friendly. They are part of being a family. Do you want to be a happy and friendly family?" + +Lily and Tom thought about what their mom said. They felt sorry for being selfish and mean. They looked at each other and said, "Yes, we do. We want to be a happy and friendly family." + +They smiled and said, "Can I borrow your toy, please? And can you borrow mine, please? We can play together and have fun." + +Their mom said, "That is wonderful, Lily and Tom. I am proud of you. You are a happy and friendly family." + +Lily and Tom shared and borrowed their toys. They played together and had fun. They forgot about the cold outside. They were warm and cozy inside their house. They were a happy and friendly family. +Anna liked to play with her dolls in her room. She had a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. She pretended that her dolls were a family of princes and princesses who lived in a castle. She gave them names and voices and made up stories for them. + +One day, she was playing with her favorite doll, Prince Leo. He had blond hair and blue eyes and wore a red cape. She made him talk to Princess Mia, who had brown hair and green eyes and wore a pink dress. "Hello, Mia. Do you want to go for a walk in the garden?" Leo asked. "Yes, Leo. That sounds nice. Let me get my hat," Mia said. + +Anna put Mia's hat on her head and took Leo's hand. She carried them to the window, where she had a small box with some flowers and grass. She put them down and pretended they were walking among the flowers. She made them smell the roses and talk about the birds. She was having fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Anna's little brother, Tom, came into her room. He was only two years old and he liked to grab things and throw them. He saw Anna's dolls and ran towards them. "No, Tom! Don't touch them!" Anna shouted. But it was too late. Tom grabbed Leo and threw him out of the window. Anna gasped and ran to the window. She looked down and saw Leo lying on the ground. He was not moving. He looked broken. Anna felt sad and angry. She started to cry. + +"Tom, you are bad! You made Leo vanish! He was my best doll! I hate you!" Anna yelled. She pushed Tom away and ran to her bed. She hugged Mia and sobbed. Tom looked confused and scared. He did not understand why Anna was mad at him. He did not mean to hurt Leo. He just wanted to play. He started to cry too. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw Anna and Tom crying and asked what happened. Anna told her what Tom did. Mom looked out of the window and saw Leo. She felt sorry for Anna. She picked up Tom and hugged him. She told him that he should not throw things, especially not Anna's dolls. She told him to say sorry to Anna. Tom nodded and said sorry in a small voice. Anna looked at him and felt a little better. She said it was okay, but she still missed Leo. + +Mom told Anna that she would get Leo for her. She went downstairs and outside. She picked up Leo and brought him back to Anna. She checked him and saw that he was not broken. He was just dirty. She cleaned him and fixed his cape. She gave him back to Anna and told her that he was fine. Anna smiled and thanked her. She hugged Leo and felt happy. He did not vanish. He was still her best doll. She put him next to Mia and made them kiss. She felt comfortable and safe. She told Mom that she loved her. Mom told her that she loved her too. She kissed her and Tom and left them to play. Anna and Tom played with the dolls and the flowers. They did not fight anymore. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside in the summer. They liked to run, jump, and swing. They also liked to draw with colorful chalk on the sidewalk. + +One day, they found a big box of chalk in the garage. It had many colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. Lily and Ben were very happy. They ran to the sidewalk and started to draw. + +Lily drew a big flower with red petals and a yellow center. Ben drew a big sun with yellow rays and a smiley face. They drew more things: a butterfly, a bird, a tree, a house. They had fun. + +But then, they ran out of yellow chalk. Lily wanted to draw more flowers. Ben wanted to draw more suns. They both looked at the last piece of yellow chalk. They both reached for it. + +"Mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, mine!" Ben said. "I need it more!" + +They pulled and tugged. They shouted and cried. They did not want to share. They wanted the yellow chalk. + +They did not see the big dog that came running. The dog liked to chase things. The dog saw the yellow chalk. The dog thought it was a toy. The dog ran and jumped. The dog grabbed the yellow chalk in his mouth. + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at the dog. They looked at each other. They were sad. They lost the yellow chalk. They did not have fun. + +"Hey, dog!" Lily said. "Give it back!" + +"Please, dog!" Ben said. "We want it!" + +But the dog did not listen. The dog ran away with the yellow chalk. He wagged his tail. He had fun. +Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She had her own apron with flowers on it. She felt very original when she wore it. She helped her mom stir the soup, cut the bread, and set the table. + +One day, Sara's friend Lily came over to play. Lily saw Sara's apron and said, "That's a pretty apron. Can I try it on?" + +Sara said, "No, this is my apron. It's very original. You can't have it." + +Lily felt sad and said, "But I like it too. Can't we share it?" + +Sara said, "No, it's mine. Go find your own apron." + +Lily started to cry and ran away. Sara felt proud and happy. She had her apron and she didn't need anyone else. + +But then, Sara's mom came in and saw what happened. She said, "Sara, why did you make Lily cry? She's your friend. You should be nice to her." + +Sara said, "But mom, this is my apron. It's very original. I don't want to share it." + +Sara's mom said, "Sara, I know you like your apron, but it's not the only one in the world. There are many other aprons that are also original and beautiful. And you know what? Sharing your apron with Lily would make it even more original and beautiful, because it would show that you are a kind and generous friend. Do you believe me?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She looked at her apron and then at Lily, who was still crying in the living room. She felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "Yes, mom, I believe you. You're right. I should share my apron with Lily. I don't want to make her sad. I want to make her happy." + +Sara's mom smiled and said, "That's very good, Sara. I'm proud of you. Now, go and apologize to Lily and ask her if she wants to wear your apron. I'm sure she'll forgive you and be happy to play with you." + +Sara did as her mom said. She ran to Lily and said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was mean to you. You can wear my apron if you want. It's very original and so are you. Do you want to help me and mom in the kitchen?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Sara, I do. Thank you. You're very original and so is your apron. And you're also a very good friend." + +Sara and Lily hugged and put on their aprons. They went to the kitchen and helped Sara's mom. They had fun and learned new things. They felt very original and happy. +Lily was a tall girl who liked to perform. She liked to sing and dance and make people happy. She had a big show at school and she wanted to do something special. She saw a big ladder in the hall and had an idea. + +She asked her friend Ben to help her. Ben was not tall, but he was smart and kind. He said, "Lily, that ladder is not safe. You could fall and hurt yourself. You don't need to climb it to perform well. You are already good at singing and dancing." But Lily did not listen. She said, "Ben, don't be scared. I know what I am doing. I want to climb the ladder and jump from the top. It will be fun and everyone will love it." + +Ben was worried, but he did not want to make Lily angry. He helped her carry the ladder to the stage and set it up. Lily climbed the ladder and looked down. She saw her teacher, her parents, and her classmates. They all looked at her and clapped. She felt happy and brave. She said, "Watch me, everyone! I am going to perform the best jump ever!" She jumped from the ladder and tried to land on her feet. + +But she jumped too high and too far. She missed the stage and hit the floor. She felt a sharp pain in her leg and her head. She screamed and cried. Ben ran to her and called for help. The teacher and the parents came and took her to the hospital. She had a broken leg and a big bump on her head. She had to stay in bed for a long time and miss the rest of the show. + +Lily was sad and sorry. She wished she had listened to Ben and not climbed the ladder. She learned that performing is not about doing dangerous things, but about doing what you love and what you are good at. She also learned that being tall is not always a good thing, and that being smart and kind is more important. She said to Ben, "Thank you for being my friend. You were right. The ladder was not safe. I was silly and foolish. I hope you can forgive me." Ben smiled and hugged her. He said, "Of course I forgive you, Lily. You are my friend. I hope you get better soon. Next time, let's perform together, without the ladder." Lily nodded and smiled. She hoped so too. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they see a big truck with many sheep in it. The truck stops near their house. + +"Look, Sara, sheep!" Ben says. "They have soft wool. Can we touch them?" + +Sara nods. They run to the truck and ask the man who drives it. The man smiles and says, "Sure, you can touch them. But be gentle. They are going to the farm to get a haircut." + +Sara and Ben touch the wool. It is warm and fluffy. They like it. They see a small sheep that is not in the truck. It is behind a bush. It looks scared. + +"Hello, little sheep," Sara says. "Why are you not in the truck?" + +The sheep bleats. It does not want to go to the farm. It likes its wool. + +"Can we keep it, please?" Ben asks the man. + +The man shakes his head. "No, you can't. It belongs to the farmer. He needs the wool to make clothes and blankets. Come on, little sheep, get in the truck." + +The sheep runs away. It does not want to lose its wool. Sara and Ben chase it. They catch it and hug it. + +"Please, let us keep it," Sara says. "We will take good care of it. We will not cut its wool." + +The man sighs. He sees that Sara and Ben love the sheep. He thinks for a while. Then he says, "OK, you can keep it. But you have to ask your mom and dad first. And you have to carry it to your house. It is heavy." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They thank the man. They ask their mom and dad. They say yes. They help Sara and Ben carry the sheep to their house. They give it a name. They call it Wooly. + +Wooly is happy too.

They play together in the garden every day. +Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make new games with other things. They found a hanger in the closet. It was thick and shiny. + +"Look, Tom, I have a hook!" Lily said. She held the hanger like a fishing rod. "I can catch things with it!" + +Tom smiled. He saw a teddy bear on the bed. He grabbed it and threw it in the air. "Catch it, Lily, catch it!" he shouted. + +Lily swung the hanger and tried to catch the teddy bear. But the teddy bear was too big and soft. It bounced off the hanger and landed on the floor. + +"Oops, I missed it!" Lily said. She ran to pick up the teddy bear. "Let me try again!" + +Tom nodded. He looked around for something else to throw. He saw a ball on the shelf. It was small and hard. He took it and tossed it to Lily. + +"Here, catch this!" he said. + +Lily was ready. She aimed the hanger at the ball. She hooked it with the hanger and lifted it up. + +"Yay, I caught it!" she cheered. She showed the ball to Tom. "See, I can catch things with the hanger!" + +Tom clapped his hands. He was proud of his sister. "You are very good, Lily!" he said. "Do you want to catch more things?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the game. She gave the ball to Tom and waited for the next thing. They played catch with the hanger until their mom called them for dinner. +Tom was a painter. He liked to make pictures with colors. He had a big box of colors and a big paper. He put some colors on his paper with a brush.

Don't make a mess." + +But Lily and Ben have a new idea. They say, "Let's have a spaghetti contest. Who can eat the most spaghetti?" + +They start to eat very fast. They slurp and twist and chew. They don't use forks or spoons. They use their hands and mouths. They make a lot of noise and a lot of mess. + +Mom sees them and says, "Stop! Stop! What are you doing? This is not a contest. This is lunch. You are wasting food and making a mess. You need to eat nicely and share." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They see their faces and clothes are covered in sauce. They see the spaghetti on the table and the floor. They feel full and sick. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were silly. We don't want to have a spaghetti contest anymore. We want to have a nap." + +Mom says, "That's a good idea. Come on, let's clean up and go to bed. Maybe next time you can have a different kind of contest. A contest of who can be the most polite and helpful." + +Lily and Ben nod and smile. They say, "OK, Mom. We can do that. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too. Now let's go to bed." +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toy automobiles. They had many different automobiles: big, small, red, blue, fast, slow. They made noises with their mouths when they moved their automobiles. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +One day, Tim saw a new automobile in his toy box. It was brilliant. It was shiny and yellow and had a whistle on the top. Tim picked it up and blew the whistle. It made a loud sound. Toot, toot! + +"Wow, what a cool automobile!" Sam said. "Can I play with it?" + +"Sure, you can play with it," Tim said. "But you have to share. It is my new automobile." + +"OK, I will share," Sam said. "Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend." + +They took turns to play with the brilliant automobile. They whistled and drove it around the room. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Tim and Sue are at the zoo with Mom and Dad. They see many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They are very happy and excited. They want to see the hippos next. + +They go to the hippo pool and look for the big gray animals. They see one hippo sleeping in the water. They see another hippo eating some grass.

Sue asks. + +"No, honey, you can't. The hippo is too big and strong. He might hurt you," Dad says. + +"But I want to play with the hippo!" Sue says. She is angry and sad. She starts to cry. + +"Shh, Sue, don't cry. The hippo doesn't want to play with you. He wants to play with his ball," Tim says. + +"No, he doesn't! He wants to play with me! He is my friend!" Sue says. She runs to the fence and tries to climb over it. + +"Sue, stop! Come back here!" Mom and Dad shout. They run after Sue and catch her before she falls into the pool. + +"Sue, you are very naughty and stupid. You could have been hurt by the hippo. You have to listen to us and follow the rules. We are here to keep you safe and have fun," Mom says. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Dad. I just wanted to play with the hippo. He looked so cute and funny," Sue says. + +"I know, honey, but the hippo is not a toy. He is a wild animal. He doesn't know you and he doesn't understand you. He might think you are food or a threat. He might bite you or push you or splash you. You have to respect him and his space," Dad says. + +"OK, Dad. I understand. I won't try to play with the hippo again. Can we see the other animals now?" Sue says. + +"Sure, sweetie. Let's go and see the elephants. They are very smart and gentle. Maybe they will let you feed them some peanuts," Mom says. + +"Yay! I love elephants! Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Dad. You are the best," Sue says. + +She hugs Mom and Dad and smiles. Tim smiles, too. They walk away from the hippo pool and order some ice cream on the way. They have a great day at the zoo. The end. +Tim and Jen are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a big box of cars, dolls, blocks and animals. They like to make stories with their toys and pretend they are on adventures. + +One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a gray bird with a red button on its back. Tim picks it up and says, "Look, Jen, a bird! I wonder what it does." + +Jen shrugs and says, "Maybe it can fly. Push the button and see." + +Tim pushes the button and the bird makes a loud noise. It is an alarm! The bird starts to flap its wings and fly around the room. Tim and Jen are scared and surprised. They run after the bird and try to catch it. + +"Stop, bird, stop!" Tim shouts. "You are too loud and scary!" + +"Give me the bird, Tim!" Jen says. "Maybe I can make it quiet." + +They chase the bird until it lands on the window sill. Tim grabs it and holds it tight. He looks for a way to turn off the alarm. He sees a small switch on the bird's belly. He flips the switch and the alarm stops. + +"Phew, that was close," Tim says. "This bird is not a good toy. It is a bad toy." + +Jen nods and says, "Yeah, let's put it back in the box. Maybe we can trade it for a better toy." + +They walk back to the box and release the bird. They hope it will not make any more noise. They decide to play with their other toys and forget about the gray bird. They are happy and calm again. +Tom and Lily liked to play near the factory. The factory made big and loud noises, but they did not mind. They liked to see the smoke and the trucks and the people who worked there.

They did not know what it meant, so they asked a man who was walking out of the factory. + +"Excuse me, sir, what does 'end' mean?" Tom asked. + +The man looked sad and tired. He said, "It means the factory is closed. No more work, no more noise, no more smoke. The factory is finished." + +"Why?" Lily asked. + +The man shrugged.

The factory is old and useless." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for the man and the factory. They liked what the factory made. They liked the old and useful things. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We like the factory. We like to play here. Can we still play here?" + +The man smiled a little. He said, "Sure, you can still play here. But be careful. The factory is not safe anymore. There are sharp things and hot things and broken things. And don't go inside. It is dark and scary and dangerous." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Thank you, sir. We will be careful. We hope you find a new job. A job that makes you happy and comfortable." + +The man thanked them and walked away. Tom and Lily watched him go. Then they went to their favorite spot near the factory. They found a big box and a soft blanket and a funny hat. They made a fort and a bed and a crown. They played and laughed and pretended. They were happy and comfortable.

Sara flips a card and sees a lion. She flips another card and sees a zebra. They do not match. She puts them back face down. Ben flips a card and sees a monkey. He flips another card and sees a lion. They do not match. He puts them back face down. + +Sara and Ben know where the lion card is. They both want to find the other lion card and match them. They look at each other and smile. They have a plan. They say "one, two, three, go!" and flip two cards at the same time. Sara flips the lion card and Ben flips the monkey card. They do not match. They put them back face down. They say "one, two, three, go!" again and flip two cards at the same time. Sara flips the zebra card and Ben flips the lion card. They match! + +Sara and Ben are happy. They have matched all the cards. They hug and high-five. They are brave. They did not give up. They did not cheat. They had fun. They say "let's play again!" and mix the cards. They wait for their turn and flip the cards. They play match until mom calls them for dinner. +Anna liked to play with water. She had a big tub in her bathroom, where she could fill it with warm water and bubbles. She had many toys to play with in the tub: a duck, a boat, a fish, and a cup. She liked to make the duck swim, the boat sail, and the fish splash. She liked to use the cup to pour water on her head and laugh. + +One day, she saw a shiny thing on the wall. It was a mirror. She wondered what it was. She took the cup and filled it with water. She threw the water at the mirror. She saw the water splash on the mirror and drip down. She saw herself in the mirror, wet and smiling. She thought it was funny. She did it again and again, until the mirror was all wet and the floor was all wet. + +Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Anna, what are you doing? You soaked the mirror and the floor! You made a big puddle! You have to clean it up!" She gave Anna a towel and a mop. She said, "You have to dry the mirror and the floor. And no more throwing water at the mirror. It is not a toy. It is for looking at yourself." + +Anna felt bad. She did not mean to make Mom angry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was just playing. I wanted to see the water on the mirror. It was shiny and pretty." She took the towel and the mop and tried to clean the mirror and the floor. She did not like it. It was hard and boring. She wished she could play with the water and the toys again. + +Mom saw that Anna was sorry and tried to help. She said, "It's okay, Anna. I know you were just curious. But you have to be careful with water. It can make things wet and slippery and dirty. And you have to be respectful of the mirror. It is not a toy. It is for looking at yourself and making sure you are clean and neat." She hugged Anna and said, "I love you, Anna. You are a good girl. But next time, please ask me before you play with the mirror." + +Anna hugged Mom back and said, "I love you, Mom. You are a good Mom. I will ask you next time. And I will not throw water at the mirror again. I will just look at myself and make funny faces." She smiled and looked at the mirror. She saw herself and Mom in the mirror, dry and happy. She thought it was better than water. +Tom likes to read books. He reads books with pictures and words. He reads books about animals and cars and stars. He reads books every day. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He brings his favorite book. It is a book about a dog. The dog likes to eat steak. Steak is meat. Tom likes steak too. + +At the park, Tom sees a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. The dog runs to Tom and sniffs his book. Tom says, "Hello, dog. Do you like books?" + +The dog barks and wags his tail. He likes books. He likes Tom's book. He likes the steak in Tom's book. He wants to eat the steak. + +The dog bites Tom's book. He tears the pages. He chews the steak. Tom is sad. He says, "No, dog. No. That is my book. That is not your steak. That is not real steak. That is paper steak." + +The dog does not listen. He eats the book. He eats the steak. He is happy. He licks his lips. He says, "Woof. Woof. Thank you, Tom. That was a good steak. That was a good book." + +Tom is mad. He says, "Bad dog. Bad. You ate my book. You ate my steak. You are not clean. You are dirty. You are naughty." + +Tom's mom comes. She sees the dog and the book. She says, "Oh, Tom. I'm sorry. That dog ate your book. That was not nice. That was not polite. That was not fair." + +Tom says, "It's okay, mom. I still have other books. I still have other steaks. But I don't like that dog. He is not my friend. He is not a good dog. He is a bad dog." + +Tom's mom hugs him. She says, "I love you, Tom. You are a good boy. You are a good reader. You are a good eater. You are clean. You are smart. You are kind." + +Tom smiles. He says, "I love you too, mom. You are the best. Can we go home and read another book? And can we have steak for dinner?" + +Tom's mom says, "Yes, we can. Let's go home and read and eat. And let's stay away from that dog. He is not welcome here. He is not a good reader. He is not a good eater. He is not clean. He is not smart. He is not kind." +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a rope. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. They laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a big tree in the park. It has a branch that is high and strong. Lila has an idea. She says to Tom, "Let's make a swing with the rope. We can tie the rope to the branch and swing on it. It will be fun." + +Tom likes the idea. He says, "OK, let's do it." They take the rope and the ball and go to the tree. Lila throws the rope over the branch. She pulls it hard. The rope is long and thick. It does not fall down. It stays on the branch. + +Lila and Tom are happy. They make a knot on one end of the rope. They make a loop on the other end. They put the ball in the loop. They have a swing. They take turns to swing on it. They push each other and go high. They feel the wind and the sun. They shout and giggle. + +They have a lot of fun with the rope and the ball. They are not small anymore. They are big and brave. They love to swing on the tree. They are the best friends in the park. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw some big equipment that looked like fun. It had slides, swings, ladders and tunnels. Anna wanted to try the slide, but Ben wanted to try the swing. + +"Come on, Anna, the swing is more fun!" Ben said. + +"No, the slide is more fun!" Anna said. + +They argued for a while, but then they saw a boy on the swing. He was swinging very high and fast. He looked happy and brave. + +"Wow, look at him!" Ben said. "He is so good at swinging!" + +Anna looked at the boy too. She thought he was foolish. He was swinging too high and fast. He could fall and hurt himself. + +"Ben, he is not good, he is foolish!" Anna said. "He is not safe on the swing!" + +But Ben did not listen to Anna. He wanted to swing like the boy. He ran to the swing and pushed the boy off. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" the boy said. "That's my swing!" + +But Ben did not care. He sat on the swing and started to swing. He tried to swing as high and fast as the boy. He felt happy and brave. + +Anna watched Ben from the slide. She felt worried and scared. She knew Ben was being foolish. He was not safe on the swing. + +"Ben, stop swinging so high and fast!" Anna said. "You could fall and hurt yourself!" + +But Ben did not listen to Anna. He wanted to swing higher and faster. He did not see the branch above his head. He swung into the branch and hit his head. He fell off the swing and landed on the ground. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "My head hurts!" + +Anna ran to Ben. She saw blood on his head. She felt sorry and sad. She hugged Ben and said: + +"Ben, I'm sorry you hurt yourself. You should have listened to me. You were being foolish on the swing. You were not safe on the swing." + +Ben sobbed and said: + +"Anna, you were right. I was being foolish on the swing. I was not safe on the swing. I'm sorry I pushed the boy off. I'm sorry I did not listen to you." + +Anna and Ben learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and smart on the equipment. They learned to listen to each other and share. They learned to have fun and be safe. +One morning, Ben woke up very early. He was not sleepy anymore. He wanted to play. He looked at his clock. It was still dark outside. He knew his mom and dad were still sleeping. He thought of a naughty plan. + +He tiptoed to the kitchen. He saw a big cake on the table. It was for his sister's birthday. He wanted to eat some. He took a knife and cut a big slice. He ate it very fast. It was yummy. He smiled. + +He heard a noise. It was his mom. She came to the kitchen. She saw the cake. She saw Ben. She was very angry. + +"Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "You ate the cake! That was very naughty! You ruined your sister's birthday!" + +Ben felt bad. He did not think of his sister. He only thought of himself. He was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, mom," he said. "I was hungry. I did not mean to be naughty. Please don't be mad." + +Mom sighed. She hugged Ben. She was still angry, but she loved him. + +"Ben, you need to learn to control your brain," she said. "Your brain tells you what to do. Sometimes it tells you to do good things. Sometimes it tells you to do bad things. You need to listen to the good things, not the bad things. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded. He understood. He wanted to be good. He wanted to make his mom and his sister happy. + +"Can I help you fix the cake?" he asked. + +Mom smiled. She nodded. She gave him a bowl and a spoon. + +"Yes, you can," she said. "But first, let's go and wake up your sister. It's her birthday. Maybe she will forgive you if you give her a big hug and a kiss." +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man with a big bag. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want to see some toys?" + +Lily and Ben were curious. They nodded and followed the man. He opened his bag and showed them many toys. There were dolls, cars, balls, and books. The man said, "You can have any toy you want. But you have to do something for me first." + +Lily and Ben asked, "What do we have to do?" The man said, "You have to trust me. I have a game for you. It is very fun. Look, I have a knife. It is not real. It is fake. It cannot hurt you. You just have to pretend to stab each other with it. Then you can have any toy you want." + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not like the knife. It looked real. It looked sharp. They did not want to stab each other. They wanted to run away. But the man grabbed them and said, "Don't be silly. It is just a game. Trust me. It is fake. Come on, stab your friend. It will not hurt. It will be fun." + +Lily and Ben cried. They tried to get away. But the man was strong. He pushed the knife into Lily's chest. Lily screamed. She felt pain. She felt blood. She fell to the ground. The knife was not fake. It was real. The man lied. He was bad. Ben saw Lily. He was shocked. He was sad. He was angry. He kicked the man. He ran to Lily. He hugged her. He called for help. But it was too late. Lily was gone. Ben was alone. He wished he never met the man. He wished he never trusted him. He wished he never saw the knife. He wished he could have his friend back. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big jeep in the park. The jeep is green and shiny. It has four big wheels and a loud horn. + +"Wow, look at the jeep!" Ben says. "Can we climb on it?" + +Anna is shy. She does not like loud noises. She does not want to climb on the jeep. She says, "No, Ben. The jeep is not ours. We should not touch it." + +But Ben is curious. He wants to see the jeep up close. He says, "Come on, Anna. It will be fun. Maybe we can pretend to drive it." + +He runs to the jeep and climbs on the seat. He grabs the wheel and makes a vroom sound. He presses the horn and it makes a beep sound. He laughs and says, "Look, Anna. I am driving the jeep. Beep beep!" + +Anna is scared. She hears the beep sound and thinks someone is coming. She says, "Ben, get down. Someone will see us. We will be in trouble." + +But Ben does not listen. He is having too much fun. He says, "No, Anna. Don't be shy. Come and join me. The jeep is cool." + +He reaches out his hand and tries to pull Anna up. But Anna does not want to go. She shakes her head and says, "No, Ben. I don't like the jeep. It is too loud and too big. I want to play with something else." + +She turns around and walks away. She sees a swing and a slide. She thinks they are more fun than the jeep. She runs to the swing and pushes it. She smiles and says, "This is better. I like the swing. It is quiet and soft." + +She swings back and forth and feels happy. She looks at Ben and says, "Ben, come and play with me. The swing is nice. You will like it too." + +But Ben does not hear her. He is still on the jeep. He is still making noises and beeping the horn. He does not see Anna. He does not see the man who owns the jeep. He does not see the man who is angry. He does not see the man who is coming. He does not see the man who is shouting. He does not see the man who is grabbing him. He does not see the man who is scolding him. He does not see the man who is taking him away. + +He only sees the jeep. He only says, "But I like the jeep. I want to play with the jeep. Please let me play with the jeep." + +He cries and cries. He does not see Anna. He does not see the park. He does not see the fun. He only sees the jeep. He only sees the trouble. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play at school. They like to draw on the blackboard with chalk. The blackboard is green and big. + +One day, Tom has a joke. He wants to make Lily laugh. He draws a funny face on the blackboard. He draws a big nose, a small mouth, and two eyes. He draws a hat on the head. He writes "Lily" under the face. + +He calls Lily. He says, "Look, Lily, I drew you on the blackboard. Do you like it?" + +Lily sees the face. She does not like it. She thinks Tom is mean. She says, "That is not me, Tom. That is a silly face. You are not nice. You are not my friend." + +Tom is sad. He did not want to make Lily angry. He wanted to make Lily laugh. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was joking. I think you are pretty and smart. You are my friend. Please don't be mad." + +Lily looks at Tom. She sees that he is sorry. She says, "OK, Tom. I forgive you. But don't draw me like that again. It is not funny. It is rude." + +Tom nods. He says, "OK, Lily. I won't do it again. Can we play together?" + +Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, Tom. We can play together. But let's erase the face first. It is ugly." + +They erase the face. They draw flowers and stars on the blackboard. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily was an adventurous girl. She liked to explore new places and try new things. One day, she saw a big truck outside her house. It had many boxes on it. Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was inside the boxes. + +She ran to the truck when no one was looking. She climbed on the back of the truck. She opened one of the boxes. It was full of books. Lily liked books. She opened another box. It was full of toys. Lily liked toys. She opened another box. It was full of clothes. Lily liked clothes. + +She was having so much fun. She did not hear the truck driver come back. He was angry. He saw Lily messing up his order. He shouted at her. He grabbed her. He put her in a box. He closed the box. He drove away. + +Lily was scared. She could not see anything. She could not breathe well. She could not get out. She cried. She wished she had not been so adventurous. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had stayed at home. + +The moral of the story is: Do not go into places where you do not belong. You might get into trouble. You might get hurt. You might lose your family. You might not be happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play together. They like to visit each other's houses. One day, Sara goes to visit Tom. She sees that Tom has a big tree in his yard. The tree has many colors. Sara likes the colors. + +"What is this?" Sara asks Tom. + +"This is a season," Tom says. "It is fall. The leaves change colors in fall. They are lovely." + +Sara and Tom pick up some leaves. They make a pile. They jump in the pile. They laugh and have fun. They see a squirrel. The squirrel runs up the tree. It has a nut in its mouth. Sara and Tom wave to the squirrel. + +"Hello, squirrel!" they say. + +The squirrel looks at them. It chatters. It hides the nut in the tree. Sara and Tom smile. They like the squirrel. They like fall. They like to visit. They are happy. +Sam was a child who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a red car. He liked to make the car go fast and make loud noises. He also liked to raise the car in the air and pretend it could fly. + +One day, Sam's mom told him to put away his toys and get ready for bed. Sam did not want to go to bed. He wanted to play more with his car. He said, "No, mom, I want to play!" + +Mom said, "Sam, it is late and you need to sleep. You can play with your car tomorrow. Now, please put it in the box and come with me." + +Sam was angry. He did not listen to mom. He raised his car in the air and threw it at the wall. The car hit the wall and broke into pieces. Sam was shocked. He started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken car and the crying child. She was sad and angry. She said, "Sam, why did you do that? You broke your favorite toy. That was very naughty and foolish. You need to learn to respect your things and listen to me. I am your mom and I want what is best for you." + +Sam felt sorry. He realized he made a mistake. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was mad and I did not think. I love my car and I love you. Can you forgive me?" + +Mom hugged Sam and said, "I forgive you, Sam. I love you too. But you need to be more careful and obedient. Now, let's clean up this mess and go to bed. Tomorrow, we can look for a new car for you." + +Sam nodded and helped mom to pick up the pieces of his car. He felt sad, but he also felt happy that mom still loved him. He learned a lesson that day. He learned to value his toys and his mom. He learned to raise his voice, not his car. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. Sometimes they sort their toys by color or shape. They put the red toys in one box, the blue toys in another box, and so on. + +One day, they decide to sort their toys by where they come from. They look at the labels on their toys and see some words. They ask their mom what the words mean. Mom tells them that some toys come from far away places, like east or west. East is where the sun comes up, and west is where the sun goes down. Mom shows them a map and points to the east and the west. + +Sara and Tom think this is fun. They start to sort their toys by east and west. They put the toys that come from east in one pile, and the toys that come from west in another pile. They have a lot of toys from east, like dolls, cars, and books. They have fewer toys from west, like a black hat, a black cat, and a black bat. + +"Look, Tom, I have more toys from east than you!" Sara says. + +"That's okay, Sara, I like my toys from west. They are all black. Black is my favorite color." Tom says. + +"Why do you like black so much, Tom?" Sara asks. + +"Because black is cool and dark and mysterious. And because black is the color of the night, and I like the night." Tom says. + +"I see. I like black too, but I also like other colors. They are bright and happy and pretty. And I like the day, because I can see everything." Sara says. + +They smile at each other. They are different, but they are also the same. They are twins, and they love each other. They hug and share their toys. They play until mom calls them for dinner. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +But Ben wanted to have all the blocks. He took some blocks from Lily's pile and put them in his own. Lily saw him and was angry. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily said. "Those are my blocks. You have enough. Give them back!" + +"No, they are mine!" Ben said. "I want them. You are spoiled. You have too many blocks!" + +Lily tried to grab the blocks from Ben, but he held them tight. They started to pull and push. The blocks fell to the floor and broke into pieces. + +"Look what you did!" Lily said. "You broke the blocks! Now we can't play with them!" + +Ben and Lily both started to cry. They were sad and sorry. They had ruined their fun. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken blocks and the crying children. + +"What happened here?" Mom said. "Why are you fighting? Why did you break the blocks?" + +Ben and Lily told Mom what they did. They said they were sorry. They said they wanted to share and play nicely. + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I'm glad you are sorry. But you have to be careful with your toys. They are not yours alone. You have to share and respect each other. And you have to say sorry when you make a mistake." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said sorry to each other. They picked up the pieces and tried to fix the blocks. They decided to build something together. They were happy again. +Lila and Max are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they are playing with their blocks. Lila wants to build a tower, but Max wants to knock it down. He thinks it is funny. + +"Stop it, Max!" Lila says. "You are mean. I want to build a tower." + +"No, I want to play smash!" Max says. He uses his muscle to hit the blocks. They fall down and make a loud noise. + +"Max, Lila, behave!" Mom says. She comes into the room. She is not happy. She sees the mess on the floor. "You need to share and be nice to each other. If you don't, you will have a time out." + +Lila and Max feel sorry. They don't want a time out. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to build a tower together. They use their muscles to lift the blocks. They make a big and tall tower. They are proud of their work. + +"Wow, what a great tower!" Mom says. She comes back to see them. She is happy. She smiles and claps. "You are such good helpers. I am grateful for you. How about we have some cookies as a treat?" + +Lila and Max are happy too. They love cookies. They say thank you to Mom. They share the cookies and enjoy them. They are glad they behaved and played nicely. They are good twins. +Lily and Ben are twins. They share a room. Their room is very messy. There are toys, books, clothes and crayons everywhere. Mom says they have to organize their room before they can go out and play. + +Lily starts to pick up her dolls and put them in a basket. Ben starts to throw his cars and trucks into a box. But then they see a big puzzle on the floor. It is half done. Lily and Ben both like the puzzle. They both want to finish it. + +"Let me do the puzzle!" Lily says. + +"No, I want to do it!" Ben says. + +They start to pull the puzzle pieces from each other. They make a loud noise. Mom hears them and comes to their room. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "You are supposed to organize your room, not fight over a puzzle!" + +"But we both want to do the puzzle!" Lily and Ben say. + +Mom looks at the puzzle. It is a picture of a farm with animals and a tractor. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you work on the puzzle together?" Mom says. "You can take turns to put the pieces in. Then you can organize the rest of your room. It is a mild day outside. You can go out and play when you are done." + +Lily and Ben think about it. They like the idea of working together. They say sorry to each other and start to share the puzzle pieces. They finish the puzzle and smile. They see the farm and the animals and the tractor. They think it is a nice picture. + +They quickly organize the rest of their room. They put their toys, books, clothes and crayons in their places. They make their beds and tidy their shelves. They show Mom their room. Mom is happy. She says they did a good job. + +"Now you can go out and play," Mom says. "But remember to put your things away when you come back." + +Lily and Ben nod. They hug Mom and run out of their room. They are happy. They want to play with their friends. They also want to play with their puzzle again later. They like their puzzle. They like their room. They like each other. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but they also like to win. They are competitive. One day, they have a game. They want to see who can put on more clothes. + +Lily and Ben run to their room. They open their drawers and take out many clothes. They start to put them on. They put on shirts, pants, socks, hats, scarves, and gloves. They look very funny. + +They run to the living room. They want to show Mom and Dad. They say, "Look at us! We have so many clothes on! Who has more clothes?" Mom and Dad laugh. They count the clothes. They say, "You both have the same number of clothes. You are both very good at dressing up. But you must be very hot. Why don't you take off some clothes and sit down?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They take off some clothes and sit on the couch. They are still wearing some clothes, but not too many. They feel better. They hug Mom and Dad. They say, "We love you. Thank you for playing with us." Mom and Dad say, "We love you too. You are both very smart and creative. But remember, it is not always important to win. Sometimes, it is more fun to share and cooperate." Lily and Ben smile. They agree. They are happy. +Lily was a wise infant. She knew many things, like how to say her name, how to count to ten, and how to draw with crayons. She also knew that she was not allowed to touch the stove, because it was hot and could hurt her. + +One day, Lily was playing in the kitchen with her toys, while her mom was cooking. Lily saw a shiny pot on the stove, and she wanted to see what was inside. She thought it might be soup, or pasta, or something yummy. She crawled towards the stove, and reached out her hand. + +"Lily, no!" her mom shouted. "Don't touch the stove, it's hot!" + +Lily stopped, and looked at her mom. She saw that her mom was scared and angry. She felt sorry, and said, "Sorry, mom. I just wanted to see the pot." + +Her mom sighed, and picked up Lily. She hugged her, and said, "I know, Lily. But the stove is very dangerous. You could burn yourself, or spill the pot, or make a mess. You are not allowed to touch the stove, ever. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded, and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I won't touch the stove again. I love you, mom." + +Her mom smiled, and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a wise infant, but you still have a lot to learn. Come, let's go to the living room, and read a book together." +Sara liked to write. She wrote with crayons on paper, on the wall, on the floor. She wrote her name, her mom's name, her dad's name. She wrote words she learned at school, like cat, dog, sun, moon. She wrote pictures of flowers, stars, hearts, rainbows. She wrote every day, because writing made her happy. + +One day, Sara's mom told her there was a parade in town. Sara loved parades. She loved to see the big balloons, the colorful floats, the marching bands, the funny clowns. She wanted to go to the parade with her mom and dad. She wanted to write about the parade when she came back. + +But when Sara got to the parade, she saw something that made her sad. She saw a big sign that said "No Writing Allowed". She saw a man with a whistle and a badge who took away the crayons and papers from the children who tried to write. He said writing was bad, writing was messy, writing was noisy. He said only grown-ups could write, and only with pens and pencils. + +Sara felt angry. She did not think writing was bad, or messy, or noisy. She thought writing was good, and beautiful, and fun. She wanted to write, and she wanted the other children to write too. She did not like the man with the whistle and the badge. She did not like his sign. + +She decided to do something. She took out her crayons from her pocket. She found a big piece of cardboard on the ground. She wrote on it in big letters: "Writing is Cool". She held up her sign and walked in front of the parade. She smiled and waved at the people who cheered for her. She ignored the man who blew his whistle and shouted at her. She kept walking, proud and brave. + +Sara's mom and dad saw her. They ran to her and hugged her. They told her they were proud of her too. They told her she was a good writer, and a good person. They told her she was modest, because she did not write to show off, but to share her joy. They told her they loved her, and they loved her writing. They took her home, and gave her a big cake. Sara ate the cake, and wrote a thank you note. She wrote it with crayons, on paper, on the wall, on the floor. She wrote it with love. +Lily was sick. She had a big cough and a hot head. Mommy said she had to take a pill to feel better. But Lily did not like pills. They were hard and bitter and made her gag. + +"No, Mommy, no pill!" Lily cried. She hid under the blanket. + +"Please, Lily, it's just one pill. It will help you stop coughing and cool down your head. You can have some juice after," Mommy said. She tried to pull the blanket away. + +Lily saw the pill in Mommy's hand. It was enormous. It was bigger than her thumb. How could she swallow that? She was scared. + +"Go away, Mommy, go away!" Lily screamed. She kicked and pushed Mommy. She threw the pillow at her. + +Mommy was sad and angry. She dropped the pill on the floor. She left the room and slammed the door. + +Lily was alone. She felt worse. She coughed harder and harder. She could not breathe. She wished Mommy would come back. She wished she had taken the pill. But it was too late. +Lily and Ben liked to go for a walk with their dog Spot. They walked to the park, where they saw swings and slides and flowers. They played with Spot and threw a ball for him to catch. + +One day, they saw something new in the park. It was an enormous balloon. It was red and yellow and blue, and it had a basket under it. Lily and Ben wondered what it was. They ran to the balloon and looked inside the basket. + +They saw a man and a woman with big hats and goggles. They smiled and waved at Lily and Ben. They said they were going for a ride in the sky. They asked Lily and Ben if they wanted to join them. + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They had never been in a balloon before. They looked at Spot, who wagged his tail. They looked at each other, and nodded. They climbed into the basket with the man and the woman. + +The man pulled a rope, and the balloon made a loud noise. It lifted off the ground and floated in the air. Lily and Ben felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They saw the park and the trees and the houses get smaller and smaller. They saw birds and clouds and rainbows. They laughed and clapped and hugged Spot. + +They had the most fun walk ever. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pole in the park. It is red and white and has a light on top. + +"Look, Ben, a pole!" Lila says. + +"What is it for?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a toy. Let's play with it!" Lila says. + +They run to the pole and touch it. It is cold and hard. They try to climb it, but it is too slippery. They try to push it, but it is too heavy. They try to hug it, but it is too wide. + +"This is not a fun toy," Ben says. + +"No, it is not. I am hungry. Let's go home and eat," Lila says. + +They walk away from the pole. But they do not see a man in a blue suit and a hat. He is wearing a badge and a belt. He is a policeman. He is watching them. + +"Hey, kids, stop!" he says. "Do you know what that pole is?" + +Lila and Ben turn around and see the policeman. They are scared. They think they are in trouble. + +"No, sir, we don't know," Lila says. + +"That pole is a fire hydrant. It is not a toy. It is for putting out fires. You should not play with it. You could hurt yourself or break it," the policeman says. + +"Oh, we are sorry, sir. We did not know. We were just curious," Ben says. + +"It's okay, kids. I know you did not mean any harm. But you should be careful and respectful of things in the park. They are for everyone to use and enjoy. Now, where are your parents?" the policeman says. + +"They are at home. We live nearby. We were going home to eat. We are hungry," Lila says. + +"Well, then, you should hurry up and go home. It is getting late and dark. And you should always tell your parents where you are going and when you are coming back. Do you understand?" the policeman says. + +"Yes, sir, we understand. Thank you, sir. Goodbye, sir," Lila and Ben say. + +They wave to the policeman and run home. They tell their parents what happened. Their parents are glad they are safe and sorry they played with the fire hydrant. They hug them and give them some food. Lila and Ben are happy and full. They learned something new today. They will not play with the pole again. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have a lot of fun. But sometimes the sun is very hot and they feel tired and thirsty. + +"Let's stop and rest," Sara says to Ben. "We can sit under that big tree. It has a lot of shade." + +"OK," Ben says. "That sounds good. I need some water." + +They walk to the big tree and sit on the grass. The shade is cool and nice. They drink some water from their bottles and eat some crackers and cheese. + +"Look, a squirrel!" Ben says, pointing to a branch. "It is eating a nut. It is so cute." + +Sara looks and smiles. "Yes, it is. Maybe it lives in the tree. Maybe it has a family." + +They watch the squirrel for a while. It runs and jumps and climbs and hides. It is very fast and smart. + +"I wish I could be a squirrel," Ben says. "It looks easy and fun." + +Sara shakes her head. "No, it is not easy. It is hard. The squirrel has to find food and water and a safe place to sleep. It has to watch out for cats and dogs and birds. It has to be careful all the time." + +Ben thinks about it. He nods. "You are right. It is not easy. It is better to be a kid. We have food and water and a home and a park. We have each other. We can play and rest and learn and laugh." + +Sara hugs him. "Yes, we do. We are lucky. We are happy." + +They finish their snack and get up. They throw their trash in the bin and put their bottles in their backpacks. They hold hands and run to the slide. They are ready to play some more. +Lily liked to read books. She had many books with pictures and words. She read them every day. She read them to her doll, Anna. Anna was her best friend. + +One day, Lily found a new book. It was big and thick. It had many words and no pictures. Lily wanted to read it. She opened the book and looked at the words. She did not know them. They were hard and long. She tried to sound them out. She did not understand them. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what is this book?" + +Her mom said, "That is a book for grown-ups. It is not for you. It is too hard. You need to read books for kids. They have pictures and easy words." + +Lily said, "But I want to read this book. I want to know what it says. I want to learn new words." + +Her mom said, "You are very persistent, Lily. But you are not ready for this book. You need to practice more with your books. Maybe when you are older, you can read this book. Now, why don't you read a book to Anna? She likes your stories." + +Lily was sad. She wanted to read the new book. But she loved Anna, too. She closed the new book and put it back. She picked up a book with pictures and easy words. She read it to Anna. Anna smiled and hugged her. Lily smiled, too. She was happy. She decided to read more books to Anna. She hoped that one day, she could read the new book, too. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big ship on the lake. It has a flag and a horn. + +"Wow, look at the ship!" Anna says. "It is so big and nice. I want to go on it." + +"Me too," Ben says. "Let's skip to the lake and see it closer." + +They skip to the lake and see the ship. It is very shiny and pretty. They see some people on the ship. They wave to them. + +"Hello, people!" Anna says. "Can we come on your ship?" + +The people on the ship look at them. They shake their heads. They say something, but Anna and Ben do not understand. + +"Sorry, kids," one of them says. "This ship is not for you. It is for grown-ups only. You have to go away." + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They think the people are stupid and mean. + +"That is not fair!" Anna says. "We want to see the ship too. Why can't we come on?" + +"Yeah, why not?" Ben says. "We are not bad. We are good. We just want to have fun." + +They try to go closer to the ship, but the people stop them. They tell them to go back to the park. + +"Go away, kids," they say. "This is our ship. You have no business here. You are bothering us." + +Anna and Ben do not like the people. They do not like the ship anymore. They think the ship is stupid and ugly. + +"Fine, we will go away," Anna says. "But we do not like you or your ship. Your ship is stupid and ugly. It has a bad flag and a bad horn. We do not want to see it ever again." + +"Yeah, what she said," Ben says. "We have better things to do. We have our own ship. It is in the park. It is made of sticks and leaves. It is much better than your ship. It has a good flag and a good horn. We will go and play with it now." + +They turn around and skip back to the park. They do not look at the ship or the people anymore. They find their own ship and play with it. They have fun. They are happy. They forget about the stupid ship and the stupid people. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park near their homes. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. It barks loudly and runs towards them. + +"Run, Mia, run!" Ben shouts. He is scared of the dog. He thinks the dog is dangerous and wants to bite them. + +Mia runs with Ben, but she is slower. The dog is faster and catches up with her. It jumps on her and knocks her down. Mia screams and cries. She is hurt and afraid. + +"Help, help!" Ben yells. He looks for someone to help them. He sees a man walking on the street. The man is their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He is nice and kind. He likes Ben and Mia. + +"Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee, help us!" Ben calls. He waves his arms and points at the dog. + +Mr. Lee hears Ben and sees the dog. He realizes that the dog is dangerous and that Mia is in trouble. He runs to the park and grabs the dog by the collar. He pulls the dog away from Mia and holds it firmly. + +"Are you okay, Mia?" Mr. Lee asks. He bends down and checks Mia's arm. The dog has scratched her, but not too badly. He gives her a tissue and a hug. + +"I'm okay, Mr. Lee, thank you," Mia says. She is still shaking and sobbing. She is glad that Mr. Lee has saved her. + +"Thank you, Mr. Lee, you are a hero," Ben says. He is happy that Mia is okay. He is sorry that he ran away from her. + +"You're welcome, Ben, you did the right thing to call for help," Mr. Lee says. He smiles and pats Ben's head. He is proud of Ben and Mia. + +"Come on, kids, let's go home. I'll call your parents and tell them what happened. And I'll call the animal shelter and report this dog. It shouldn't be loose in the park. It's too dangerous," Mr. Lee says. He leads Ben and Mia to his car and drives them home. He is a good neighbor and a good friend. +Tom and Anna were big kids.

They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond. They want to see the fish and the frogs. + +"Look, Tim, there is a big log in the water. Let's go and sit on it," Sue says. + +"OK, Sue, but be careful. The log might be slippery," Tim says. + +They hold hands and walk to the pond. They step on the log. But the log is not a log. It is an alligator. The alligator is deaf. It does not hear them. + +The alligator opens its mouth. It wants to eat Tim and Sue. Tim and Sue are scared.

You only want to play with the kite. Go away!" + +Sam is very sad. He drops the kite. He cries. He says, "Tom, you are mean. You don't want to be my brother. You only want to play with the ball.

He pointed to the shiny metal thing on the table. He climbed out of the box and ran to the table. He lifted the ashtray and saw a shiny coin. "I found it, I found it!" he shouted. + +Lily followed him and saw the coin. She wanted to see it too. She reached for the ashtray, but it was too heavy for her.

There are many old clothes and shoes and toys. They are dirty and torn. Lily and Tom feel sad. + +"Who put these things here?" Lily asks. "They are not good for anyone." + +"Maybe they belong to someone poor," Tom says. "Someone who has no home or money or nice things." + +Lily and Tom think about the poor person. They wonder where he or she sleeps and eats and plays. They wish they could help. + +"Maybe we can give them something," Lily says. "Something that we have and we like." + +"Like what?" Tom asks. + +Lily thinks for a moment. Then she takes off her pink hat. She loves her pink hat. It is warm and soft and pretty. She puts it in the box. + +"Here, this is for the poor person," she says. "Maybe it will make them happy." + +Tom smiles. He likes Lily's hat too. He thinks she is very kind. He looks at his toy car. He loves his toy car. It is fast and shiny and fun. He puts it in the box too. + +"Here, this is for the poor person too," he says. "Maybe it will make them smile." + +Lily and Tom hug each other. They feel good. They leave the box open. They hope the poor person will find it and like their gifts. They remain friends. They go back to play in the park. +Lily and her mom were going to visit grandma, who lived far away. Mom told Lily to pack her bag with some clothes and toys. Lily ran to her room and opened her closet. She saw her favorite dress, her teddy bear, and a ball of yarn. + +"Can I take the yarn, mom?" Lily asked. She liked to play with the yarn and make shapes with it. + +"Sure, honey, but why do you want the yarn?" Mom asked. + +"Because grandma likes yarn too. She makes sweaters and hats with it. Maybe she can teach me how to do it," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "That's very sweet of you, Lily. Grandma will be happy to see you and your yarn. She is elderly and sometimes feels lonely. You are a good granddaughter." + +Lily and mom finished packing and got in the car. Lily held her bag and the yarn in her lap. She was excited to see grandma and learn something new. She hoped grandma would like the yarn as much as she did. +Lily liked to chew gum. She liked how it was sweet and soft and made bubbles. She always asked her mom for gum when they went to the store. But her mom said no. She said gum was bad for her teeth and could make her sick. + +One day, Lily saw a new kind of gum at the store. It was pink and shiny and had a picture of a princess on it. Lily wanted it very much. She asked her mom again. "Please, mom, can I have this gum? It looks so pretty and yummy." + +Her mom looked at the gum and shook her head. "No, Lily, this gum is not good for you. It has too much sugar and artificial colors. It will make your teeth rot and your tummy ache. I do not recommend this gum at all." + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not believe her mom. She thought her mom was mean and did not want her to have fun. She decided to take the gum anyway. She waited until her mom was not looking and put the gum in her pocket. She thought she was very clever and charming. + +When they got home, Lily ran to her room and opened the gum. She put a piece in her mouth and started to chew. It was very sweet and sticky. She liked it at first. But then she felt something wrong. The gum was too hard and chewy. It hurt her jaw and her teeth. It also tasted bad. It was not like the picture at all. It was bitter and sour. Lily spit out the gum and felt sick. She wished she had listened to her mom. She realized her mom was right and knew what was best for her. She felt sorry and ashamed. + +She went to her mom and hugged her. She told her what she had done and said she was sorry. Her mom was not angry. She was glad that Lily was honest and learned her lesson. She forgave her and kissed her. She said she loved her and wanted her to be healthy and happy. She also gave her a piece of mint gum. It was not as sweet or shiny as the princess gum, but it was fresh and soft and good for her teeth. Lily liked it and thanked her mom. She learned to trust her mom and not to take things that were not hers. She also learned to be careful with what she put in her mouth. She never wanted to chew the bad gum again. +Tom and Mia like to collect round things. They have a big box full of round things. They have balls, buttons, coins, and marbles. They like to look at them and play with them. + +One day, they find a new round thing in the park. It is yellow and shiny. It is a ring. Tom and Mia both want it. + +"Look, a yellow ring!" Tom says. "I want it for my box!" + +"No, I want it for my box!" Mia says. "It is pretty and sparkly!" + +They both reach for the ring. They pull and tug. They start to fight. + +"Stop, stop!" a voice says. It is Mom. She sees Tom and Mia fighting over the ring. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting?" + +"We both want the ring!" Tom and Mia say. "It is a round thing for our box!" + +Mom shakes her head. She picks up the ring. She looks at it closely. + +"This is not a round thing for your box," Mom says. "This is a special ring. It belongs to someone else. Someone lost it. We have to find the owner and give it back." + +Tom and Mia feel sorry. They did not know the ring was special. They did not know someone lost it. + +"OK, Mom," Tom and Mia say. "We will help you find the owner." + +They stop fighting. They hold Mom's hand. They look for the owner of the yellow ring. They hope they can make someone happy. They still like to collect round things, but they also like to be kind. +Lily was a spoiled youth. She had many toys and clothes, but she was not happy. She always wanted more and more. She did not like to share or say thank you. + +One day, she saw a bunny in the garden. The bunny was white and fluffy, and it hopped around the flowers. Lily wanted the bunny for herself. She ran out of the house and tried to catch the bunny. + +"Come here, bunny! You are mine!" she shouted. + +But the bunny was fast and smart. It hopped away from Lily and hid behind a bush. Lily followed the bunny, but she could not find it. She got angry and stomped her feet. + +"Where are you, bunny? Come out now!" she cried. + +Then she heard a voice from behind the bush. + +"Who are you, and why do you want me?" the voice asked. + +Lily was surprised. She peeked behind the bush and saw the bunny. The bunny had big ears and a pink nose, and it looked at Lily with curious eyes. + +"I am Lily, and I want you because you are cute and fluffy. You will be my toy, and I will play with you," Lily said. + +The bunny shook its head. + +"No, thank you. I am not a toy, and I do not want to play with you. You are spoiled and rude. You do not ask, you only take. You do not care about me, you only care about yourself. You should learn to be kind and gentle, like the flowers," the bunny said. + +The bunny hopped away from the bush and ran to the other side of the garden. Lily was left alone, feeling sad and ashamed. She realized that the bunny was right. She had been spoiled and rude, and she had no friends. She wished she could be kind and gentle, like the flowers. She decided to change her ways and say sorry to the bunny. + +She ran after the bunny and called out. + +"Wait, bunny! Please, wait! I am sorry, I was wrong. Can we be friends?" she asked. + +The bunny stopped and looked at Lily. He saw that she was sincere and sorry. He smiled and nodded. + +"Okay, we can be friends. But you have to promise to be nice and share and say thank you. And you have to respect me and the flowers. Can you do that?" he asked. + +Lily nodded and smiled. + +"Yes, I can do that. I promise. Thank you, bunny. You are very wise and kind. What is your name?" she asked. + +The bunny hopped closer to Lily and touched her hand with his nose. + +"My name is Hoppy. And you are welcome, Lily. You are very brave and sweet. Come, let us play in the garden. But be careful, do not step on the flowers," he said. + +Lily and Hoppy became good friends. They played in the garden every day, and they learned from each other. Lily became less spoiled and more happy. Hoppy became less shy and more playful. They both loved the flowers and each other. They lived happily ever after. +Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big bridge over a pond. The bridge is gray and has many holes. + +"Let's go over the bridge!" Tim says. He runs to the bridge and steps on it. + +"Wait for me!" Mia says. She follows Tim and steps on the bridge too. + +But the bridge is old and weak. It makes a loud crack. Tim and Mia are scared. They stop and look at each other. + +"Freeze!" Tim says. "Don't move or the bridge will break!" + +Mia nods. She is very still. She does not want to fall in the pond. The pond is cold and dirty. + +They hear a voice. It is their mom. She is looking for them. + +"Tim! Mia! Where are you?" she calls. + +"Mom! We are here! On the bridge!" Tim shouts. + +Mom sees them. She runs to the bridge. She is careful not to step on the holes. + +"Tim! Mia! You are safe!" she says. She hugs them and helps them off the bridge. + +"Mom, the bridge is bad. It almost broke!" Mia says. + +"I know, sweetie. The bridge is old and needs to be fixed. You should not play on it. It is dangerous." Mom says. + +"Sorry, Mom. We did not know." Tim says. + +"It's okay, honey. I'm glad you are okay. Come on, let's go home and have some hot chocolate." Mom says. + +Tim and Mia smile. They hold Mom's hand and walk away from the bridge. They are happy and warm. They learned a lesson. They will not play on the bridge again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her ball. She would roll it on the grass, bounce it on the wall, and throw it in the air. She had a lot of fun with her ball. + +One day, she saw an old man walking with a cane. He looked sad and tired. Lily wanted to make him happy, so she ran to him and said, "Hello, sir. Do you want to play with my ball?" + +The old man smiled and said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. But I can't play with your ball. I have a bad leg and I need my cane to walk." + +Lily felt sorry for the old man. She thought of a way to help him. She said, "I have an idea. You can sit on this bench and I will roll the ball to you. You can use your cane to hit the ball back to me. It will be like a game." + +The old man agreed and they played together. They had a lot of fun with the ball. The old man laughed and said, "You are a very good friend, little girl. You made my day brighter. You have a light heart." + +Lily was happy to hear that. She said, "You are welcome, sir. You are a very good friend, too. You made my ball more fun. You have a light cane." + +They hugged and said goodbye. Lily learned that she could share her toys and make new friends. She also learned that she could make someone happy with her words and actions. She was a very good girl. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the garden. They have a big box of cars, dolls, blocks and animals. Anna likes to be the boss and tell Ben what to do. She says, "Ben, you be the driver and I be the teacher. You take the doll to school in the car. Go fast, but not too fast. And be careful of the animals. They might bite." + +Ben nods and picks up the car and the doll. He likes to drive and make noises. He says, "Vroom, vroom, I am the driver. I take the doll to school. Beep, beep, move away, animals. I am coming." + +He drives the car around the garden, avoiding the blocks and the animals. He sees a shiny thing on the grass. He stops the car and gets out. He picks up the shiny thing. It is a coin. It is old and has a picture of a man on it. He says, "Wow, look what I found. A shiny coin. It is old and cool. I wonder who it belongs to." + +Anna sees Ben with the coin. She runs over and snatches it from his hand. She says, "Give me that. It is mine. I saw it first. It is shiny and pretty. I want it for my doll. She needs money to buy things." + +Ben is sad and angry. He says, "No, it is not yours. I found it. It is mine. You are bossy and mean. You always take my things. Give it back." + +They start to pull and tug on the coin. They shout and cry. They do not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They do not see the dog coming. The dog is curious and hungry. He sees the shiny coin. He thinks it is a bone. He jumps and grabs it from their hands. He runs away with it. He says, "Woof, woof, I am the dog. I found a bone. It is shiny and tasty. I want it for me. Yum, yum, yum." +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big box near the slide. They run to the box and want to see what is inside. + +"Can we open it?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe. It looks heavy. Let's try to kick it," Tom says. + +They kick the box hard, but nothing happens. The box does not move or make a sound. They kick it again and again, but still nothing. + +"Maybe it is locked. Maybe there is something good inside. Maybe we need a key," Lily says. + +"Or maybe we need to kick it harder. Like this!" Tom says. He kicks the box with all his might. He kicks it so hard that he falls down. + +"Ow! That hurt!" Tom cries. He holds his foot and makes a sad face. + +Lily stops kicking the box. She goes to Tom and helps him up. + +"Are you okay, Tom? Do you need a hug?" Lily asks. + +Tom nods. He hugs Lily and feels better. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend," Tom says. + +"You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend, too," Lily says. + +They forget about the box and go to play on the slide. They have fun and laugh. + +The box stays in the park. Nobody knows what is inside. Maybe it is something serious. Maybe it is something silly. Maybe it is nothing at all. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find things. Sometimes they found worms or stones or seeds. One day, they found a potato. It was big and brown and had eyes. + +"Look, a potato!" Tom said. He showed it to Lily. + +"Wow, can we eat it?" Lily asked. She was hungry. + +"I don't know. Maybe we have to cook it first," Tom said. He remembered that his mom sometimes made potato soup or potato chips. + +"Let's take it to the kitchen and ask mom," Lily said. She took the potato from Tom and ran to the house. + +Tom followed her, but he tripped on a rock and fell. The potato flew out of Lily's hand and landed on the grass. It broke into many pieces. + +"Oh no, our potato!" Lily cried. She saw the pieces scatter all over the garden. + +Mom came out and saw what happened. She smiled and hugged Tom and Lily. + +"Don't worry, my sweeties. It's not a bad thing. You just made some potato seeds. If we plant them in the dirt, they will grow into new potatoes. And then we can eat them," she said. + +"Really?" Tom and Lily asked. + +"Really. Come on, let's do it together. It will be fun," Mom said. + +She helped them pick up the pieces and put them in a hole. Then she covered them with dirt and watered them. + +"There. Now we have to wait and see what happens. Maybe in a few months, we will have a lot of potatoes," she said. + +Tom and Lily clapped their hands. They were happy. They liked potatoes. They hoped they would be sweet. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a big worm and put it in a jar. + +"Let's show mom our worm!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Tom said. + +They ran inside the house with the jar. Mom was in the kitchen, making a cake. + +"Look, mom, look!" Lily said. "We found a worm!" + +Mom smiled and looked at the jar. She saw the worm wriggling inside. + +"That's a nice worm, Lily," mom said. "But it might be smelly. Worms like to live in the dirt, not in a jar." + +Lily and Tom sniffed the jar. They smelled something bad. + +"Yuck!" Tom said. "The worm is smelly!" + +"What can we do, mom?" Lily asked. + +Mom had an idea. She took the jar and went outside with Lily and Tom. + +"Why don't we put the worm back in the garden?" mom said. "Then it can be happy and not smelly. And maybe it will make more worms for us to find." + +Lily and Tom liked mom's idea. They followed her to the garden and watched her open the jar. The worm slid out and burrowed into the dirt. + +"Bye, worm!" Lily said. + +"Bye, worm!" Tom said. + +They waved at the worm and went back inside. Mom gave them a slice of cake each. + +"Thank you, mom!" Lily said. + +"Thank you, mom!" Tom said. + +They ate their cake and felt happy. They decided to look for more bugs another day. +Tom is a bald man. He has no hair on his head. He likes to walk in the park. He likes to see the birds and the flowers. + +One day, he sees a big branch on the ground. It is brown and dry. He picks it up. He thinks it is a good stick. He can use it to play. + +He sees a boy and a girl. They are playing with a ball. They are happy. Tom walks to them. He smiles. He wants to be their friend. + +He says, "Hello, I am Tom. Do you want to play with me? I have a stick. It is a good stick. We can use it to make a fort, or a sword, or a drum." + +The boy and the girl look at Tom. They look at his stick. They look at his bald head. They giggle. They say, "No, thank you. We don't want to play with you. Your stick is not a good stick. It is a branch. It is old and ugly. And you are bald. You have no hair. You are funny." + +They run away with their ball. They laugh. Tom feels sad. He drops his branch. He walks away. He does not smile. He does not want to play. He wishes he had hair. He wishes he had friends. +Lily was a cat who lived in a big house with many toys. She liked to play with balls, mice, and feathers. But her favorite toy was a shiny box that made noises and pictures. She called it the TV. + +One day, Lily saw a new picture on the TV. It was a dog who could talk and do tricks. He wore a hat and a coat and had a big smile. Lily was curious and wanted to know more about the dog. + +"Who are you?" she asked the TV. + +"I'm Max, the modern dog!" the dog said. "I can do anything a human can do, and more! I can sing, dance, paint, and drive a car!" + +Lily was amazed and a little jealous. She wished she could do those things too. She thought hard and tried to copy the dog. She put a hat on her head and a coat on her back. She tried to sing, but only meowed. She tried to dance, but only stumbled. She tried to paint, but only made a mess. She tried to drive a car, but only scratched the keys with her paw. + +Lily was sad and frustrated. She felt like she was not good enough. She took off the hat and the coat and lay down on the couch. She looked at the TV and saw the dog laughing and having fun. + +"Max, you are so lucky," she said. "You can do everything. I can do nothing." + +"That's not true, Lily," the dog said. "You can do many things that I can't do. You can climb, jump, hide, and purr. You can catch mice and birds. You can cuddle and comfort. You are a wonderful cat, and you should be proud of yourself." + +Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. She realized that the dog was right. She had her own skills and talents. She did not need to be like the dog. She was happy to be herself. + +"Thank you, Max," she said. "You are very kind. You are a wonderful dog, and I'm glad to be your friend." + +The dog smiled and wagged his tail. He was glad to be her friend too. They watched the TV together and enjoyed each other's company. They learned that being different was not bad. It was fun and interesting. They were both modern and marvelous in their own way. +Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the park. Tom had a red plane that could fly very high. Sam had a blue car that could go very fast. They always shared their toys and had fun. + +One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Max. He saw Tom's red plane and wanted to play with it. He asked Tom, "Can I lend your plane?" + +Tom was kind and said, "Yes, you can lend my plane, but you have to give it back soon." + +Max took the plane and ran away. He did not give it back. He flew the plane very high and very far. He did not care about Tom. + +Sam saw what Max did and was angry. He said to Tom, "Don't worry, Tom. I have an idea. Let's go to the big tree and wait." + +Tom and Sam went to the big tree and waited. They saw Max flying the plane near the pond. They saw a big duck swimming in the pond. The duck saw the plane and thought it was a bird. The duck jumped and caught the plane in its beak. Max was shocked and scared. He ran to the pond and tried to get the plane back. But the duck was stronger and faster. It swam away with the plane. + +Tom and Sam laughed and clapped. They were happy that Max got what he deserved. They went to the pond and said to the duck, "Thank you, duck. You are very smart and brave. You helped us get our plane back." + +The duck quacked and nodded. It gave the plane back to Tom. Tom was grateful and said, "Thank you, duck. You are my friend. Do you want to play with us?" + +The duck quacked and nodded again. It joined Tom and Sam in their game. They had a lot of fun. They learned that sharing is good, but stealing is bad. They also learned that ducks are awesome. +Anna liked to collect flowers. She had a book with pictures of many flowers. She wanted to learn their names and colors. She asked her mom to help her with a quiz. Mom said yes. + +Mom showed Anna a picture of a flower in the book. She asked, "What is this flower called?" Anna looked at the picture. She saw a yellow flower with many petals. She said, "This is a sunflower." Mom smiled and said, "Very good, Anna. You are right." + +Mom showed Anna another picture of a flower. She asked, "What is this flower called?" Anna looked at the picture. She saw a white flower with a yellow center. She said, "This is a daisy." Mom nodded and said, "Very good, Anna. You are right again." + +Mom showed Anna one more picture of a flower. She asked, "What is this flower called?" Anna looked at the picture. She saw a purple flower with a thin stem. She said, "This is a lavender." Mom clapped and said, "Very good, Anna. You are amazing." + +Mom said, "You did very well on the quiz, Anna. You know a lot of flowers. Do you want to go outside and collect some flowers?" Anna said, "Yes, please. I love flowers." Mom said, "Okay, let's go. But be careful, some flowers are delicate. They can break easily." Anna said, "I will be gentle, Mom. I will not hurt the flowers." Mom and Anna went outside and collected some flowers. They had a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today the weather is bad. It is raining and windy. They cannot go to the park or ride their bikes. + +"Let's play inside," Anna says. "We can draw or read or play with toys." + +"OK," Ben says. "But I want to play with your modern train. It has lights and sounds and moves by itself." + +Anna has a modern train. She got it for her birthday. It is her favorite toy. She does not like to share it with anyone. + +"No, you cannot play with my train," Anna says. "It is mine. You can play with something else." + +Ben is sad. He does not have a modern train. He only has an old wooden train. It does not have lights or sounds or move by itself. + +"Please, Anna, can I play with your train for a little while?" Ben asks. "I will be careful. I will not break it or lose it." + +"No, no, no," Anna says. "Go away. Leave me alone." + +Ben goes away. He sits in a corner. He plays with his old wooden train. He does not have fun. + +Anna plays with her modern train. She makes it go around the room. She makes it beep and whistle. She has fun. + +But then something happens. The modern train stops. It does not move or make any sounds. Anna looks at it. She sees a red light. She does not know what it means. + +She tries to make the train work. She pushes the buttons. She shakes it. She hits it. But nothing happens. The train is broken. + +Anna is sad. She does not have fun. She wants to play with her train. But she cannot. + +She looks at Ben. He is still playing with his old wooden train. He does not look sad. He looks happy. + +She goes to Ben. She says, "Ben, I am sorry. I was mean to you. Can you help me? My train is broken. I do not know how to fix it." + +Ben looks at Anna. He sees that she is sorry. He is a good friend. He says, "OK, Anna, I will help you. Maybe we can fix your train together. But first, can I play with it for a little while?" + +Anna says, "Yes, Ben, you can play with my train for a little while. And then we can share it. And we can play with your train too. It is a nice train. It does not need batteries or wires. It works with your hands and your imagination." + +Ben and Anna smile. They play with their trains. They have fun. They are friends. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Do not be selfish. Be kind to your friends. Help them when they need it. You will be happier. +Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They like to pretend they are heroes and fight bad guys. Tim has a stick that he uses as a weapon. Mia has a scarf that she uses as a cape. + +"Look, Tim, there is a dark cave over there!" Mia says. "Maybe there are bad guys inside. Let's go and see!" + +"OK, Mia, but be careful. The cave is dark and scary. We need to use our weapon and cape to protect ourselves." Tim says. + +They run to the cave and enter slowly. It is very dark inside. They can only see a little bit with the light from outside. They hear a noise. + +"Who is there?" a voice says. "This is my cave. Go away!" + +Tim and Mia are scared. They see a big shadow in the corner. It looks like a monster. + +"Tim, what do we do?" Mia whispers. + +"Let's tell the monster that we are heroes and we are not afraid of him. Maybe he will be nice to us." Tim whispers back. + +They hold their weapon and cape and say loudly: + +"Hello, monster. We are Tim and Mia. We are heroes. We are not afraid of you. We want to be your friends. Can we play with you?" + +The monster is surprised. He is not used to visitors. He is lonely and bored. He comes out of the corner and looks at Tim and Mia. He sees their weapon and cape. He smiles. + +"Hello, Tim and Mia. I am Bob. I am not a monster. I am a bear. I am not bad. I am just big and furry. I like to play too. Can I play with your weapon and cape?" + +Tim and Mia are happy. They see that Bob is not a monster. He is a bear. He is not bad. He is just big and furry. They like to play too. They share their weapon and cape with Bob. + +They play together in the cave. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were camping with their mom and dad in the woods. They had a big tent where they slept at night. They liked to explore the trees and the flowers and the animals during the day. + +One day, they saw a small bird with a broken wing on the ground. It looked sad and scared. Lily and Ben wanted to help the bird. They ran to their mom and dad and told them what they saw. + +"Mom, dad, there is a bird that is suffering. It has a bad wing and it cannot fly. Can we help it?" Lily asked. + +"Let's go and see, but we have to be very gentle and careful. The bird might be afraid of us," dad said. + +They followed Lily and Ben to where the bird was. Mom took a soft cloth and wrapped it around the bird. She lifted it up and held it close to her chest. The bird made a quiet sound. + +"Shh, it's okay, little bird. We are not going to hurt you. We are going to take you to our tent and make you feel better," mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They walked with mom and dad to their tent. They made a cozy nest for the bird with some leaves and grass. They gave it some water and seeds. The bird ate and drank and looked more calm. + +"Thank you for helping the bird, mom and dad. You are very kind," Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you. Maybe the bird will get better soon and fly again," Ben said. + +They watched the bird for a while. Then they cuddled with mom and dad in their sleeping bags. They fell asleep, dreaming of the bird and the woods. +Lily and Sam were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look at our snowman, he is incredible!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. But he looks cold. Maybe we can help him," Sam said. + +They looked around and saw some ice on the pond. They ran to the pond and broke some ice with a stick. They carried the ice to the snowman. + +"Here, snowman. This is for you. Ice is like snow, but harder. You can keep it in your hands," Lily said. + +They put the ice in the snowman's hands. The snowman smiled. He was very grateful. + +"Thank you, Lily and Sam. You are very kind. You helped me feel warmer. You are incredible, too," the snowman said. + +Lily and Sam hugged the snowman. They were very surprised. + +"Wow, he can talk!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he can. He is a magic snowman. Maybe he has a wish for us," Sam said. + +They asked the snowman what his wish was. The snowman thought for a moment. + +"My wish is to be your friend. Can we play together?" the snowman said. + +Lily and Sam nodded. They were very happy. + +"Yes, of course. You are our friend. We can play together," Lily and Sam said. + +They played with the snowman until it was dark. They had a lot of fun. They made snowballs, snow angels, and snow forts. They laughed and sang. They were incredible friends. +Ben and Lily were having lunch with their mom. Mom made soup and bread for them. Ben liked soup and bread, but Lily did not. She saw something in her soup that she hated. It was an onion. + +"Mom, I don't want onion in my soup!" Lily said. She pushed her bowl away. + +"Come on, Lily, onion is good for you. It makes the soup tasty and healthy. Just try a little bit, please," Mom said. She tried to give Lily a spoonful of soup. + +"No, no, no!" Lily refused. She turned her head and closed her mouth. She did not want to eat onion. She thought onion was yucky and smelly. + +Ben saw that Lily was not eating. He wanted to help. He liked onion. He thought onion was yummy and crunchy. He had an idea. + +"Lily, look at this. This is not onion. This is a smooth white flower. It smells nice and sweet. Do you want to smell it?" Ben said.
