Sam waves back and says, "Bye, dad. Have a good day." +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for things. One day, they found a big bone with a skull on it. It was white and hard and had many holes. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim said. "It is a dinosaur skull!" + +"No, it is not," Sam said. "It is a pirate skull!" + +They started to argue. They both wanted to keep the skull and show it to their moms. They did not want to share. + +They did not see the big dog that was watching them. The dog was hungry and liked bones. He saw the skull and wanted it too. He ran towards Tim and Sam and barked loudly. + +Tim and Sam were scared. They dropped the skull and ran away. The dog picked up the skull and ran away too. He was happy and proud. He had a new toy. + +Tim and Sam stopped running. They looked at each other and felt sad. They had lost the skull. They had also lost their fun. + +They realized they had been silly. They should have shared the skull and played together. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +They decided to go back to the park and look for something else. Maybe they would find a dinosaur or a pirate or something better. They would solve any problem together. They were best friends again. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a large swing. It has a long rope and a zigzag seat. Sam and Mia want to try it. + +"Can I go first?" Sam asks. + +"OK, but be careful. The swing is very high," Mia says. + +Sam runs to the swing. He holds the rope and sits on the zigzag seat. He pushes with his feet and swings back and forth. He feels happy and excited. + +"Whee! This is fun!" Sam shouts. + +Mia watches Sam. She waits for her turn. She sees a bird in a tree. The bird has bright feathers and a long tail. It sings a pretty song. + +"Look, Sam! A bird!" Mia points. + +Sam looks up. He sees the bird too. He smiles and waves. + +"Hello, bird!" Sam says. + +But then, something bad happens. The rope breaks. Sam falls off the swing. He lands on the grass. He cries out loud. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Sam cries. + +Mia runs to Sam. She is scared and worried. + +"Sam, are you OK?" Mia asks. + +Sam rubs his knee. It hurts and bleeds. He feels sad and scared. + +"No, I'm not OK. I hurt my knee. It's bad," Sam says. + +Mia hugs Sam. She tries to make him feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. It's not your fault. The swing was old and weak. You need a band-aid. Come on, let's go find a grown-up," Mia says. + +Sam nods. He holds Mia's hand. They walk to the park bench. They see a lady with a dog. The lady is nice and kind. She has a band-aid in her bag. She helps Sam with his knee. She gives him a sticker and a candy. + +"Thank you, lady. You are very nice," Sam says. + +"You're welcome, Sam. You are very brave. I hope you feel better soon," the lady says. + +Sam and Mia smile. They thank the lady again. They say goodbye to the dog. They go back to their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms hug them and kiss them. They say they are proud of them. They say they love them. + +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. But they don't like the large swing with the zigzag seat. They like the slide and the sandbox better. They are happy and safe. The end. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the house. One day, they find a new toy in the bathroom. It is a bright flashlight. They turn it on and off. It makes a funny sound. + +"Look, Mia, this is fun!" Tom says. He shines the flashlight on the wall. He makes shapes with his hand. + +"Let me try, Tom!" Mia says. She grabs the flashlight from Tom. She shines it on the ceiling. She makes stars and moons. + +"No, Mia, give it back!" Tom says. He pulls the flashlight from Mia. They start to fight. The flashlight falls on the floor. It breaks. The light goes out. + +"Uh-oh," Tom and Mia say. They hear Mom coming. They are scared. They hide under the sink. + +"What is this noise?" Mom says. She sees the broken flashlight on the floor. She is angry. She looks under the sink. She sees Tom and Mia. + +"Tom, Mia, what did you do?" Mom says. "This is not a toy. This is Dad's flashlight. He needs it for work. You should not take things that are not yours. You should share and be nice. You are in trouble." + +Tom and Mia are sorry. They say sorry to Mom and Dad. They learn their lesson. They do not take things that are not theirs. They share and be nice. They play with their own toys. They have fun. +Lila was a little girl who liked to play dress-up. She had a big box of clothes and hats and scarves that she could use to pretend to be different people. One day, she found a white veil in the box. It was very pretty and soft, and it made her feel like a princess. + +She put the veil on her head and ran to show her mom. But as she ran, she tripped on a toy and fell down. The veil got caught on a nail and ripped. Lila was very sad. She looked at the veil and saw a big hole in it. She started to weep. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lila on the floor with the torn veil. She hugged her and said, "It's okay, sweetie. It's just a veil. It's not important. You are important. You are my princess." + +She took the veil and said, "Look, we can fix it. We can sew it or glue it or put a patch on it. It will be as good as new. Or we can find another veil in the box. There are many more clothes to play with. Don't weep, Lila. It's just a game." + +Lila stopped weeping and smiled. She wiped her tears and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. You are the best mom. Can we play dress-up together?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, Lila. Let's go to the box and see what we can find. Maybe we can find a crown and a dress and a wand. Then we can be princesses together." + +Lila and her mom went to the box and had fun playing dress-up. They forgot about the veil and the hole. They laughed and pretended and had a good time. Lila was happy again. She learned that the veil was fragile, but her mom's love was strong. +Sam and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They also liked to splash in the water and feel the waves. + +"Look, Sam, a big wave!" Lily said, pointing to the sea. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Sam said, running towards the water. + +They jumped and laughed as the wave came and washed over them. It was mild and not too cold. They felt happy and free. + +"Be careful, kids!" Mom said, watching them from the shore. "Don't go too far!" + +"OK, Mom!" Sam and Lily said, waving to her. + +They played some more, then came back to the shore. Mom gave them towels and dried them off. + +"Did you have fun?" Dad asked, smiling. + +"Yes, Dad, we had fun!" Sam and Lily said, hugging him. + +They ate some snacks and drank some juice. Then they packed their things and said goodbye to the beach. + +"Thank you, beach, for the waves!" Sam and Lily said. + +They got in the car and drove home. They were tired but happy. They had a great day at the beach. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth. The dog was barking loudly and running towards them. + +"Help! The dog will scare us!" Anna cried. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben said. + +They ran as fast as they could, but the dog was faster. It caught up with them and jumped on them. They fell to the ground and screamed. + +But then, they heard a distant song. It was their mother, who was looking for them. She sang their favorite song, the one that made them feel safe and happy. + +"Anna, Ben, where are you?" she sang. + +The dog heard the song and stopped barking. It looked at the mother and wagged its tail. It was not a bad dog, it just wanted to play. + +"Mommy, mommy, help us!" Anna and Ben shouted. + +Their mother saw them and ran to them. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"Are you okay, my darlings?" she asked. + +"Yes, mommy, we are okay. But the dog scared us!" they said. + +She looked at the dog and smiled. She petted its head and said, "Don't be afraid, this is Fido. He is my friend's dog. He is very friendly and playful. He just wanted to say hello to you." + +"Really?" Anna and Ben asked. + +"Yes, really. Look, he likes you. He is licking your faces." she said. + +Anna and Ben looked at the dog and saw that he was not scary at all. He was soft and warm and funny. They laughed and petted him back. + +"Hello, Fido. We are sorry we ran away from you. We are Anna and Ben. Do you want to play with us?" they said. + +Fido barked happily and nodded his head. He wagged his tail and licked their faces again. + +"Okay, let's play. But be careful, Fido. Don't jump on us too hard. You are very big and strong." their mother said. + +"Okay, mommy. We will be careful. And we will be nice to Fido. He is our friend now." Anna and Ben said. + +They played with Fido in the park until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to Fido and thanked him for the fun. They learned that sometimes things that seem scary are not scary at all. They learned to be brave and kind and curious. They learned to love animals and songs and each other. +Tom and Lily were very excited to go on the aeroplane with their mum and dad. They had never been on an aeroplane before and they wanted to see the clouds and the sky. They packed their bags and got in the car. + +When they got to the airport, they saw many aeroplanes. Some were small and some were huge. Tom and Lily pointed at the huge ones and said, "Wow, look at that one! It's so big!" They wanted to go on a huge aeroplane. + +They followed their mum and dad to the gate and waited for their turn to board. Their mum and dad gave them their tickets and told them to be good and listen to the crew. Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. + +They walked on the bridge and entered the aeroplane. It was very big inside and there were many seats and windows. Tom and Lily found their seats and buckled their belts. They looked out the window and saw the wing and the engine. They heard a loud noise and felt the aeroplane move. + +"Are we flying?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We are just going to the runway. Then we will fly," their mum said. + +Tom and Lily watched as the aeroplane went faster and faster. They felt a bump and then they saw the ground go away. They were flying! + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said. + +"It's so beautiful!" Lily said. + +They saw the clouds and the sun and the other aeroplanes. They were very happy and curious. + +Then, they felt the aeroplane shake. It shook a little and then a lot. Tom and Lily got scared and held their mum and dad's hands. + +"What's happening?" Tom asked. + +"It's OK, honey. It's just some turbulence. It means the air is a bit bumpy. It will pass soon," their dad said. + +"Is the aeroplane OK?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, sweetie. The aeroplane is very strong and safe. The pilot knows what to do. Don't worry," their mum said. + +They heard the pilot's voice on the speaker. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing some turbulence. Please remain seated and keep your seat belts fastened. We will be out of it shortly. Thank you for your cooperation." + +Tom and Lily tried to be brave and calm. They listened to their mum and dad and the pilot. They closed their eyes and breathed deeply. They felt the aeroplane shake less and less. Then, it stopped. + +They opened their eyes and saw the clouds and the sky again. They felt the aeroplane fly smoothly and quietly. + +They heard the pilot's voice again. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have passed the turbulence. You can relax and enjoy the rest of the flight. We will be landing in about an hour. Thank you for flying with us." + +Tom and Lily smiled and hugged their mum and dad. They were proud of themselves for being good and listening to the crew. They learned that sometimes things can be scary and bumpy, but they can always trust the people who care for them and know what to do. They also learned that flying on an aeroplane can be fun and exciting, even if it's huge. They looked forward to seeing their grandma and grandpa at their destination. They had a great adventure. +One day, Ben and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big fire truck. They pretended to be firemen and rescue people from fires. + +"Help, help!" Lily shouted, holding a doll. "My house is on fire!" + +"Don't worry, I'm coming!" Ben said, driving the fire truck. He put on a hat and a coat and grabbed a hose. "Stay away from the fire!" + +He sprayed water on the doll's house and put out the fire. He lifted the doll and put her in the fire truck. "You're safe now!" he said. + +"Thank you, fireman Ben!" Lily said, hugging the doll. "You're very brave!" + +They smiled and played some more. They had a lot of fun. + +But outside, it was a gloomy day. The sky was gray and it rained a lot. The wind was strong and made loud noises. Ben and Lily did not like the rain. They wanted to go outside and play in the park. + +"Mom, can we go outside?" Ben asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's too wet and cold. You have to remain inside until the rain stops." Mom said. + +"But we're bored!" Lily said. + +"I know, honey, but you have to be patient. Why don't you read a book or draw a picture?" Mom said. + +Ben and Lily sighed. They did not want to read or draw. They wanted to play with their fire truck. But they knew Mom was right. They had to remain inside and wait for the sun to come out. They hoped it would be soon. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to do many things together. They like to play with blocks, draw with crayons, and read books. But they do not like to eat lemons. Lemons are bitter and make their faces funny. + +One day, their mom gives them a big bowl of fruit salad. It has apples, bananas, grapes, and lemons. Lila and Ben are happy to see the fruit. They love fruit. They start to eat the apples, bananas, and grapes. They are sweet and juicy. + +But then, they see the lemons. They are yellow and shiny. They look like the sun. Lila and Ben are curious. They wonder if the lemons are as good as the other fruit. They decide to try them. + +They each pick up a lemon slice and bite into it. They feel a sour and bitter taste in their mouths. They squeeze their eyes and spit out the lemon. They do not like it at all. It hurts their teeth and their skin. They say, "Yuck! Lemons are bad!" + +Their mom hears them and smiles. She knows they do not like lemons. She says, "I told you lemons are bitter. But they are good for you. They have vitamin C. Vitamin C helps you stay healthy and strong. Maybe you will like them when you are older." + +Lila and Ben shake their heads. They do not want to eat lemons ever again. They finish their fruit salad and drink some water. They hope their mom will not give them lemons again. They prefer sweet fruit. They think lemons are only good for making lemonade. +Lily loves to dance. She dances in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She dances with her mommy, her daddy, and her teddy bear. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. + +One day, Lily sees a puppy in the park. The puppy is small and brown and has a wagging tail. Lily wants to play with the puppy. She runs to the puppy and says, "Hi, puppy! Do you want to dance with me?" + +The puppy is anxious. He does not know Lily. He does not like loud noises. He does not like fast movements. He barks at Lily and runs away. Lily is sad. She does not understand why the puppy does not want to dance with her. + +Lily's mommy sees what happens. She hugs Lily and says, "Don't worry, Lily. The puppy is not mean. He is just scared. He needs time to get to know you. Maybe you can try to be gentle and quiet with him. Maybe you can give him a treat or a toy. Maybe then he will be your friend." + +Lily listens to her mommy. She finds a stick and a biscuit. She walks slowly to the puppy. She says, "Hello, puppy. I'm sorry I scared you. I have a stick and a biscuit for you. Do you want them?" She puts them on the ground and steps back. + +The puppy is curious. He smells the stick and the biscuit. He sees that Lily is not loud or fast. He sees that Lily is nice. He takes the stick and the biscuit and wags his tail. He comes closer to Lily and licks her hand. Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you, puppy. You are very sweet. Do you want to play with me?" + +The puppy nods. He plays with the stick and the biscuit. He runs and jumps and rolls. Lily laughs. She joins him. She runs and jumps and rolls. They have fun. They become friends. They dance together. +Ben and Mia went to the park with their dad. They brought a kite that dad made for them. It was red and blue and had a long tail. Ben and Mia liked the kite very much. + +They found a big hill and ran up with the kite. Dad helped them hold the string and let the kite fly in the sky. The wind was strong and the kite soared high and fast. Ben and Mia laughed and clapped their hands. + +"Look at our kite, dad!" Ben said. "It is so impressive!" + +"Yes, it is, son," dad said. "You and Mia did a great job helping me make it." + +Mia had a question. She pointed at the kite and asked, "Dad, how does the kite stay in the air?" + +Dad smiled and explained, "The kite stays in the air because of the wind and the shape. The wind pushes the kite up and the shape makes it glide. The string keeps the kite from flying away." + +Mia nodded and said, "I see. Thank you, dad." + +Ben and Mia enjoyed flying the kite with dad. They felt happy and proud of their impressive kite. +Lily had a doll that she loved very much. Her name was Anna and she had long yellow hair and a blue dress. Lily played with Anna every day and took her everywhere. + +One day, Lily was playing with Anna in the garden. She was pretending that Anna was a princess and she was a fairy. She made a crown for Anna out of flowers and put it on her head. But then, a big wind came and blew the crown away. Lily ran after it, but she tripped and fell. Anna flew out of her arms and landed on a rock. Her head cracked and her hair came off. + +Lily was very sad and scared. She picked up Anna and hugged her. She cried and cried. She wanted to fix Anna, but she did not know how. She ran to her mom and showed her the broken doll. + +Mom saw how upset Lily was and felt sorry for her. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. We can restore Anna. We just need some glue and some yarn. Come with me, I'll show you." + +Mom took Lily and Anna to the kitchen. She found some glue and some yarn that matched Anna's hair. She was very careful and gentle. She put some glue on Anna's head and stuck the hair back on. She wrapped some yarn around the crack and tied a bow. She said, "There, Anna is good as new. She just has a little scar, but that makes her special. She is a brave princess." + +Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She hugged Anna and kissed her head. She said, "I love you, Anna. You are my best friend. I will be more careful with you from now on." She put the flower crown back on Anna's head and went back to the garden. She continued to play with Anna and pretended that they had a magic adventure. She was very happy. +Tim and Jen are playing with a big toy car. The car has a button that makes it go fast and loud. Tim likes the button. He pushes it a lot. Jen does not like the button. She says it hurts her ears. She asks Tim to stop. Tim does not stop. He laughs and pushes the button more. + +Jen gets angry. She tries to take the car from Tim. They fight over the car. The car falls on the floor. The button breaks. The car does not go fast and loud anymore. It does not go at all. Tim and Jen are sad. They cry. + +Mom hears them cry. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the button. She is not happy. She scolds Tim and Jen. She says they have to share and be careful with their toys. She says they have to say sorry to each other. She says they have to go to their rooms. Tim and Jen do not want to go to their rooms. They want to play with the car. But Mom does not listen. She is deaf to their pleas. She takes them to their rooms. She shuts the door. Tim and Jen are alone. They are still sad. They have no car and no friend. The end. +Anna liked to cook with her mom. They made soup and bread and cake. Anna helped to stir and pour and taste. She felt happy and proud. + +One day, Anna saw her mom sewing a dress. She used a needle and thread and fabric. She made stitches on the dress. Anna wanted to try too. She asked her mom, "Can I sew, mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Sewing is difficult, Anna. You need to be careful with the needle. It can hurt you. Why don't you play with your dolls instead?" + +Anna felt sad. She wanted to sew like her mom. She did not want to play with her dolls. She looked around and saw a piece of cloth and a button. She had an idea. She took the cloth and the button and ran to her room. + +She tried to sew the button on the cloth. She pushed the needle through the cloth and the button. She pulled the thread. She made a stitch. She felt happy. She made another stitch. She felt proud. She did not see the needle poking her finger. She felt a pain. She cried. + +Mom heard Anna crying and ran to her room. She saw Anna holding her finger and the cloth and the button. She saw the blood on the needle and the thread. She felt sorry. She hugged Anna and said, "Oh, Anna, you hurt yourself. Let me see your finger. You are very brave to try to sew, but sewing is difficult, Anna. You need to be careful with the needle. It can hurt you. Let me clean your finger and put a band-aid on it. Then we can cook something together. How about that?" + +Anna nodded and smiled. She felt better. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to sew like you. But sewing is difficult. I like to cook with you. Can we make cake?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course we can make cake, Anna. You are a good cook. And maybe when you are older, you can learn to sew too. But for now, let's go to the kitchen and have some fun." + +They went to the kitchen and made cake. They stirred and poured and tasted. They felt happy and proud. They ate the cake and shared it with dad. They had a good day. +Lucy was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, without help from anyone. She had a pet rabbit named Fluffy, who was also very independent. Fluffy liked to hop around the garden, eat carrots and lettuce, and dig holes. + +One day, Lucy's mom told her to put on her coat and shoes, because they were going to the park. Lucy did not want to go to the park. She wanted to stay home and play with Fluffy. She refused to put on her coat and shoes. She said, "No, no, no! I want to play with Fluffy!" + +Lucy's mom was not happy. She said, "Lucy, you have to go to the park with me. It is a nice day, and you need some fresh air and exercise. Fluffy will be fine in his cage. He has food and water and toys. You can play with him when we come back." + +But Lucy still refused. She ran to Fluffy's cage and opened it. She picked up Fluffy and hugged him. She said, "Fluffy, you are my best friend. I don't want to leave you. You don't want to stay in your cage, do you?" + +Fluffy did not like being picked up and hugged. He was an independent rabbit. He wanted to hop around the garden, eat carrots and lettuce, and dig holes. He wriggled out of Lucy's arms and ran away. He found a hole in the fence and escaped to the other side. + +Lucy was very sad. She cried, "Fluffy, come back! Fluffy, where are you?" She looked for Fluffy everywhere, but she could not find him. She wished she had listened to her mom and gone to the park. + +Lucy's mom heard her crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw the open cage and the hole in the fence. She understood what had happened. She hugged Lucy and said, "Don't worry, Lucy. We will find Fluffy. He is a smart rabbit. He will come back soon. But next time, please do what I tell you. It is for your own good." + +Lucy nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I will do what you tell me next time. I hope Fluffy comes back. I love him very much." + +Lucy and her mom went to look for Fluffy. They asked the neighbors if they had seen him. They put up posters with his picture. They searched the streets and the fields.

Anna screams. Ben jumps back. + +Out of the box comes a fluffy puppy. It wags its tail and licks Ben's face. Ben laughs. Anna stops screaming. She comes closer and pets the puppy. + +"It is a gift!"

They have fun. They laugh and smile. + +But then, a big dog comes near them. The dog is black and brown and has a long tail. The dog sees Ben and thinks he is a real bear. The dog barks and runs towards them. Tom and Lily are scared. They hug their toys and scream. + +Tom's mom and Lily's dad hear them and come to help. They see the dog and shoo him away. They say, "Don't worry, kids, the dog is gone. He won't hurt you or your toys. Are you okay?" Tom and Lily nod. They are okay. They are glad that their parents are here. + +Tom's mom and Lily's dad hug them and say, "You are brave, kids. You protected your toys. They are lucky to have you. But now, it is time to go home. Say goodbye to each other and to your toys." Tom and Lily say goodbye. They thank each other for playing. They kiss their toys and say, "We love you, Ben and Anna. You are our best friends."

He held the shoebox high above his head and shook it. + +Lily was scared. She thought Hoppy might get hurt or lost. She jumped and grabbed Tom's arm. She pulled him down and made him drop the shoebox. Hoppy jumped out again and ran to Lily. She picked him up and hugged him. + +"Stop it, Tom! You're being mean and messy. You made Hoppy's house fall apart. He's my friend and I protect him. You can't have him." Lily said. + +Tom was angry. He pushed Lily and made her fall. He tried to grab Hoppy again.

I'm sorry the branch fell. It was old and weak. But I have an idea. Why don't you help me gather the broken sticks and stones and put them in my truck? Then, I can take them to a place where they can be used for something good. Maybe for a fire or a wall. And I can give you some new sticks and stones to make a new fort. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Tom stopped crying and nodded. They liked Ben. He was kind and helpful. They helped him gather the broken sticks and stones and put them in his truck. He thanked them and gave them some new sticks and stones. He said, "There you go. Now you can make a new fort. Be careful and have fun.

Suddenly, an old turtle popped his head out of the water and said, “Little Frog, why don’t you ask your friends to help you?â€. + +The little frog followed the old turtle’s advice and asked his friends to come to the pond and help him remove the heavy hook. As soon as they arrived they started to pull the hook together. After several tries, they finally managed to pull it out. + +The little frog was surprised and happy that he could remove the heavy hook with the help of his friends. He quickly learned an important lesson that day: when faced with a difficult problem, it is best to ask for help. It's better when we work together than when we work alone! +Once upon a time, there was a nation. This nation had a clumsy king. Everywhere the king went, he would trip over his own two feet.

He cautiously picked it up and then asked himself, "What should I do with it?" + +Seeing the little boy, a kindly old man passed by and stopped. He looked at the boy and noticed the cable. From his pocket he took out a small device and attached it to the end of the cable. Immediately the boy was curious. + +The man handed the boy the device and encouraged him to push the button.

I admire the ash tree!" + +Her Dad smiled. "It's a very impressive tree, Sarah. But remember, the forest can be dangerous." + +"What does 'dangerous' mean?"

The room was empty and it was so cold he could see his breath. He knew something must have gone wrong. He started to shiver harder and all the warmth he had felt fading away. + +Tired and scared, he stepped outside and looked around. The sun had set and darkness covered the land. All he could hear was the wind and his own shivers as he made his way back home. + +As he stumbled down the street, he promised himself that he would never forget his silly mistake.

The bunny felt a sharp and bitter heat on its fur. + +Frightened, the bunny counted to three and made it to safety. After the bunny was safe, it sat and thought about what it had learned.

As he reached the top of the tree, the little boy couldn't believe his eyes! It was a beautiful rainbow bird, with feathers like no other bird the little boy had ever seen. The little boy was so excited that he wanted to believe the bird was real, but he was too scared to get any closer. So the little boy stayed at the top of the tree and kept watching the bird until it flew away. The little boy left feeling so happy that he had seen something so special. +Once upon a time there was a girl who had a white bookshelf in her bedroom.

She said: "A war is when two groups of people fight for something. And sometimes, it's not very nice." + +Suddenly, Blu remembered something. He had often seen his owners fighting before. He said, "What if my owners had their own war? That wouldn't be safe, would it?" Fluffy shook her head. + +"No, it wouldn't be safe. You should do something to keep your owners from fighting. Do you know what you should do?" Blu thought hard, and then he remembered. "I should give them a kiss, and a big hug. They always seem to smile when I do that." + +So Blu kissed and hugged his owners, and then he gave them a friendly little bite on the hand. They both started to laugh, and soon their fight was forgotten. Blu was so happy that he had made everyone safe again. +Once upon a time, there was a lonely chicken. She clucked sadly in the barn, feeling alone and scared. + +Suddenly, a friendly voice spoke up. "Don't worry," it said. "I'll comfort you." + +The chicken looked up and saw a little boy.

He wobbled, but he couldn't stop himself from tumbling down the hill! Oh no! The rabbit scrambled to get his footing but his nest was nowhere to be seen. + +The bird flew by again, and saw the rabbit at the bottom of the hill. "On your feet!" shouted the bird.
