"Be careful, Teddy," Rabbit warned. "Berries can be prickly." But Teddy had seen plenty of berries before and wasn't worried. + +He reached for a berry, but it was too far. So he tried to speed up his paw. But then Rabbit gasped. Teddy had almost bumped into a bee hive! + +Luckily, Teddy was careful and the bees stayed asleep. So Teddy was able to pick the berry without any trouble. However, he was much more careful for the rest of the day. +Once upon a time, there was a big box. The box had an address on it, so Mommy put it in the mail. The box was very exciting! + +When the box arrived, Mommy opened it. Inside, there was a bag full of hot shrimp! They were sizzling and smelling delicious. Mommy was very excited, and she couldn't wait to eat them. + +Mommy cooked the shrimp and put them on a plate. The shrimp were steaming hot, and they smelled even better. Mommy said it was time to eat. + +Eventually, the shrimp were all gone. Everyone was very happy and full. Mommy said that the hot shrimp were delicious! +Once upon a time, there were two friends called Joe and Lola. They were playing in the park one sunny day. Joe was stretching his arms up high when a voice stopped him. + +"What are you doing?" asked the voice. + +Joe and Lola turned around to see a big, friendly monster. He was a mess, with all sorts of odd bits and pieces on him. + +"We're stretching", said Lola. + +"Oh, that's great! It's good to stretch around the world," laughed the friendly monster. + +So Joe and Lola stretched their arms and legs to different sides of the world. They stretched their way through the messy fields, across the green hills, and over the blue sea. Everywhere they stretched it was magical and colourful. + +At the end of the day, Joe and Lola were feeling really energised and as if they had been on an adventure. They thanked the friendly monster for teaching them how to stretch around the world. + +The end. +One Sunday morning, Luca was walking through the park with his mom. He saw some friends, Happy and Jack, playing with a big net. + +"Mom," Luca said, "Can I play too?" + +His mom smiled.

They had fun, zipping and catching it. + +But then, Luca heard Jack say to Happy, "Let's keep the net, huh? No one will know." + +Luca felt angry. He stepped forward and said, "No, that's not honest. We have to give it back." + +Happy and Jack were surprised at Luca's courage. They all put the net back where they had found it and Luca felt proud of being honest. From that day, Luca and his friends zipped the net together with honest hearts. +One day, a little boy named Jack was in a rush. He had some important paper that he needed to get to his teacher. He was hurrying to school when a rude man stopped him. "Where are you going in such a hurry?" the man asked. Jack replied that he was taking his paper to his teacher. The man stepped aside and said, "Well then, hurry along." + +Jack continued on his way and soon arrived at school. Everyone seemed surprised to see him, and they asked what he was carrying. He explained that he had important paper to give his teacher. All of a sudden, the teacher burst out of her room and said, "Ah, here it is!" She gently took the paper from Jack, and everyone applauded him. + +It turns out his teacher had been waiting for the paper all morning. Without it, her plans for the day wouldn't have been able to move forward. Jack had saved the day! +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Maria. She lived with her Mom and Dad in a big cottage by the sea. Everyday, Maria would go down to the beach to play. + +One day, when Maria was playing by the beach, her Mom called out to her. + +"Maria, come here quickly", said Mom. + +Maria ran up to Mom, who was holding a pot of glue. + +"Mom, what is that?", Maria asked. + +"It's glue. I'm going to make something special with it. I need your help, Maria." + +So they began work on their project. They used the glue to stick colourful pieces of paper together and soon they had made a beautiful picture. + +"Wow, Mom!", Maria shouted. "It looks yummy!" + +Mom smiled at her daughter. "Yes it does. Let's mention it to Daddy when he gets home." + +Later, when Dad arrived home, he was very impressed with the picture. "You two have been busy!" he said. + +So that's how Maria and her Mom made a pretty picture with glue. They were proud of it and were excited to hear what Daddy would say. +Once upon a time there was a little boy and his mum. The mum was walking down the street when she saw a very rude man. He was shouting at people and being very mean. + +The mum was so angry that she shouted back at the rude man. “Please leave now and do not come back again.†+ +The rude man left on his vehicle but he was still shouting very loudly. + +The little boy looked up at his mum and said, “Why was that man so very rude, mummy?†+ +“He isn’t being very nice and we don’t want bad people like him around. I’m going to make sure he never comes back again†said the mum. + +She gave her son a big cuddle and they went on their way. They knew they could trust that the rude man had gone forever. +Once there was a little girl who was very frightened. She had stayed up all night, afraid of the dark. Suddenly, she heard a voice that said, "Don't be so frightened, little one. I'm the guard, and I'm here to protect you." + +The little girl was still a bit scared, so the guard smiled and said, "I'm here to keep you safe. No matter what, you will never be alone." + +The little girl felt so much better. She knew that she did not have to be frightened because the guard was always there. + +The moral of this story is that we should never fear the dark because it has a guardian. Whenever we feel frightened, the guard will keep us safe, no matter what. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who wanted to play in the park. She ran around, zipping here and there. Soon, she came to a big tree with roots everywhere. The girl wanted to play on the roots so she could reach the top of the tree. + +But just then, she heard a bright voice coming from above the tree. "Be careful!" the voice said. She stopped and looked up. It was a kind old lady at the window overlooking the park. + +The girl thought about the old lady's advice and decided to be careful on the roots. She slowly climbed up each one, making sure it could support her weight. Soon she reached the top of the tree and felt proud of herself. + +The girl's experience taught her a valuable lesson: always pay attention to the advice of older people, even if it seems hard to do. She remembered that the old lady's words had been comforting and wise. From that day on, she listened easier to the words of older people, understanding that it's all part of growing up. +One evening, Mommy was busy printing lots of things. She printed some pictures and some letters. Then Mommy asked her daughter to help her print something. Her daughter was so happy!

Every day, Thomas would pray that God would bless him with wealth and fortune, just like Jack. + +One day, the brothers went walking on the beach. Jack noticed that Thomas was still praying about riches, so he asked: "Thomas, why are you still praying for wealth? Don't you know that the tide always comes in after the storm?" + +Thomas answered sorrowfully: "No, I didn't know that. I thought I'd have to keep on praying forever." Jack smiled and told him: "You don't have to pray like that. All you need to do is trust in God and wait. After the storm, the tide will bring what you are asking for." + +Thomas thanked Jack and, sure enough, after a few days of waiting, with faith and patience, he received what he wished for and became a wealthy, successful man. + +The moral of this story is that you can believe in God’s timing and plan, and put in the hard work to get what you desire. Praying and wanting something is different from doing something to make it happen. With faith and patience, you can receive even more than what you asked for. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Susie who was three years old.

He was so adorable and made everyone laugh. + +One day, Tiny found a pot of gold hidden in his house. He was so excited! He wanted to keep it all for himself. + +He tried to escape with the gold, but his friends noticed him. They all stopped him. They said he didn't need the gold. He would be much happier if he shared it with his friends. + +So, Tiny decided to share the gold with all of his friends.

But when he stopped spinning, his head still felt dizzy and he had to lay down for a bit until it went away. + +Joe had learned a wonderful lesson about the power of being a little dizzy. He was sure to remember it for a long, long time. +One day, there was a bug who wanted to go for a swim. She was very excited, as she had never been swimming before.

He wants to know what is inside. + +He runs to the box and tries to open it. But his mom stops him. She says, "Wait, Tom. You have to sit and eat your breakfast first. Then you can open your gift."

They saw a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. + +"Mom, can we have ice-cream?" they asked. + +"Sure, you can each choose one flavor," mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the truck. They looked at all the different colors and shapes of ice-cream. Lily picked a pink cone with sprinkles. Ben picked a blue cup with a stick. + +"Here you go, kids. Enjoy your ice-cream," the truck man said. + +"Thank you," Lily and Ben said. + +They took their ice-cream and sat on a bench. They licked and bit their ice-cream. It was cold and sweet and yummy. + +"Look, I have a cone and you have a cup," Lily said. + +"Yes, and I have a stick and you have sprinkles," Ben said. + +"We have different ice-cream, but we both like ice-cream," Lily said. + +"Yes, we do.

They liked to play in the garage with their toys. They had cars, balls, dolls and books. They had fun in the garage. + +One day, it was raining outside. Lily and Max could not go to the park or the playground. They were miserable. They wanted to do something else. + +They decided to play jump in the garage. They moved the toys to one side and made a big space. They took turns to jump as high as they could. They laughed and clapped. + +But then, Max jumped too hard. He hit his head on the ceiling. He fell down and cried. He had a big bump on his head. Lily was scared. She ran to get their mom. + +Mom came to the garage. She saw Max crying and Lily worried. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Let me see your head, Max." She looked at the bump and said, "It's not too bad. You just need some ice and a band-aid. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." + +She took Max and Lily to the kitchen. She gave Max some ice and a band-aid. She gave Lily a cookie and a hug. She said, "You two are very brave. But next time, be careful when you play jump in the garage. The ceiling is low and hard. You don't want to hurt yourself." + +Lily and Max nodded. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you." Mom said, "I love you too. Now, why don't you play something else in the garage? Something that doesn't involve jumping." Lily and Max smiled. They said, "Okay, Mom. We will." They went back to the garage. They played with their toys. They had fun in the garage. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy guns in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and robbers. Lily wore a hat and a badge, and Ben wore a mask and a scarf. + +"Stop, robber! You can't take my money!" Lily shouted, pointing her gun at Ben. + +"Ha ha, you can't catch me, cowboy! I'm too fast and smart!" Ben said, running away from Lily. + +They chased each other around the trees and the swings, making loud noises. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard their mom calling them from the kitchen. + +"Kids, it's time for lunch! Come inside and wash your hands!" + +Lily and Ben put down their guns and ran to the house. They were hungry and thirsty. + +They sat at the table and ate their sandwiches and juice. Mom gave them each a napkin to wipe their mouths. + +"Did you have fun playing?" Mom asked them. + +"Yes, we did! We were cowboys and robbers!" Lily said, smiling. + +"We shoot and run and hide!" Ben said, nodding. + +Mom smiled too. She was happy to see them cheerful and playful. + +"That sounds like a great game. But remember, guns are not toys in real life. They can hurt people and animals. You should only use them for pretend, okay?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and nodded again. + +"Okay, Mom. We understand. We only use them for pretend." + +They finished their lunch and thanked Mom. Then they asked if they could play some more. + +"Sure, you can. But first, why don't you take a nap? You must be tired after all that shooting and running." + +Lily and Ben agreed. They were a little sleepy. They went to their rooms and lay down on their beds. They closed their eyes and dreamed of cowboys and robbers. +Lily liked to play with her big brother Ben. He was good at making funny noises and faces. Sometimes he would say a word and ask Lily to repeat it. Lily tried her best to copy him, but some words were hard. + +One day, they were playing in the garden. Ben found a big boot that was muddy and smelly. He held it up and said, "Boot!" Lily looked at the boot and said, "Boot!" Ben smiled and said, "Good! Now say, 'stinky boot'!" Lily looked at the boot again and said, "Stinky boot!" Ben laughed and said, "Very good! Now say, 'stinky boot, go away'!" Lily said, "Stinky boot, go away!" + +But the boot did not go away. It flew out of Ben's hand and landed on his head. Ben screamed and tried to shake it off, but it was stuck. Lily giggled and said, "Stinky boot, go away!" Ben looked at her and said, "Help me, Lily! Help me!" Lily stopped giggling and said, "Help me, Lily! Help me!" + +Ben felt helpless. He could not get the boot off his head. He wished he had not played with it. He wished Lily would help him. But Lily did not help him. She only repeated what he said. She thought it was a game. She did not know that Ben was in trouble. She did not know that the boot was hurting him. She only knew that it was funny. She said, "Stinky boot, go away!" over and over again. +Tom and Anna are hungry. They want to eat something yummy. They go to the kitchen and look at the refrigerator. They see a big cake inside. It has pink frosting and sprinkles. + +"Wow, look at the cake!" Tom says. "Can we have some?" + +"I don't know," Anna says. "Mom said we have to wait for dinner." + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They have an idea. They open the refrigerator and take out the cake. They put it on the table. They take a fork and a knife. + +"Let's have a little bite," Tom says. "Mom won't notice." + +"Okay," Anna says. "But be careful." + +Tom cuts a small piece of cake. He pokes it with his fork. He brings it to his mouth. He smiles. It is sweet and soft. + +"Yum, this is good," he says. "You try." + +Anna cuts another piece of cake. She pokes it with her fork. She brings it to her mouth. She frowns. It is wet and sour. + +"Yuck, this is bad," she says. "What is this?" + +Tom looks at the cake. He sees something green and fuzzy on it. He feels sick. + +"Oh no, this is not cake," he says. "This is mold." + +Tom and Anna spit out the cake. They run to the sink. They wash their mouths. They hear Mom coming. + +"Quick, hide the cake," Tom says. + +They grab the cake and put it back in the refrigerator. They close the door. They sit on the floor. They pretend to play. + +Mom enters the kitchen. She sees Tom and Anna. + +"Hi, kids," she says. "Are you hungry?" + +Tom and Anna shake their heads. They are not hungry. They are scared. + +Mom opens the refrigerator. She sees the cake. She gasps. + +"Who did this?" she says. "Who cut the cake?" + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They don't know what to say. They are in trouble. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big red squash growing on a vine. Tom wanted to pick it and eat it. + +"Look, Lily, a red squash! Let's take it and make soup!" Tom said. + +"No, Tom, we can't do that. The squash is not ours. It belongs to the farmer. He works hard to provide food for us and others. We should not take what is not ours." Lily said. + +"But I'm hungry and the squash looks yummy. And the farmer has many squashes. He won't miss one." Tom said. + +He reached for the squash, but Lily stopped him. She pointed to the fence, where the farmer was watching them. + +"Tom, look, the farmer is there. He sees us. He is not happy. He is coming to talk to us. We should say sorry and go away." Lily said. + +Tom looked and saw the farmer. He felt scared and ashamed. He dropped the squash and ran away with Lily. They went back to their house and told their mom what happened. + +Their mom was not happy either. She said they did a bad thing and they should learn to respect other people's things. She said they should go back to the farmer and apologize and offer to help him with his work. + +Tom and Lily agreed. They felt sorry for what they did. They went back to the farmer and said sorry. The farmer was still angry, but he accepted their apology. He said they could help him pick some squashes and take them to the market. He said he would give them a small squash as a reward. + +Tom and Lily thanked the farmer and helped him. They learned a lesson and enjoyed the squash soup. They decided to never take what is not theirs again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big gate at the end of the garden. The gate was brown and had a lock. + +"Let's go and see what is behind the gate," said Ben. + +"OK, but how do we open the lock?" asked Lily. + +Ben had an idea. He found a stick on the ground. He tried to pick the lock with the stick. He pushed and twisted and wiggled the stick. + +"Did you do it?" asked Lily. + +Ben smiled. He heard a click. He pulled the gate. The gate opened. + +"Yes, I did it! I am successful!" said Ben. + +They ran through the gate. They saw a pond with ducks and frogs. They saw a swing and a slide. They saw a big tree with apples. + +"Wow, this is a fun place!" said Lily. + +"Let's play here for a while," said Ben. + +They had a lot of fun behind the gate. They fed the ducks and frogs. They swung and slid. They picked some apples and ate them. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a colorful telephone that makes sounds when she presses the buttons. Ben has a truck that can carry things in the back. They pretend that they are working in a shop and a delivery service. + +"Hello, this is Sara's shop. What do you want to buy?" Sara says into the telephone. + +"I want to buy a cake, please. A big cake with lots of frosting and sprinkles," Ben says from the other side of the room. + +"OK, I have a cake for you. It is very yummy and pretty. How much money do you have?" Sara asks. + +"I have five coins. Is that enough?" Ben says. + +"Yes, that is enough. Thank you for buying from Sara's shop. I will deliver your cake to you soon. Bye bye!" Sara says and hangs up the telephone. + +Sara puts a plastic cake on the truck and drives it to Ben. She knocks on the door and says, "Delivery! I have your cake!" + +Ben opens the door and smiles. He takes the cake and gives Sara the coins. He says, "Thank you, Sara! You are a very good delivery girl. And this is a very good cake. Do you want to share it with me?" + +Sara nods and says, "Yes, I do. You are a very good customer. And this is a very fun game. Let's eat the cake together!" + +They sit on the floor and pretend to eat the cake. They laugh and talk and enjoy their playtime. They are very happy and friendly. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to do everything together. They shared a room, a bike, and a big box of toys. They always played the same games and helped each other with their homework. They were very happy. + +One day, their mom told them that they had to go to a party at their aunt's house. There would be many people, music, and food. Anna and Ben were excited, but also a little scared. They had never been to a big party before. + +"Don't worry, you will have fun," their mom said. "But remember, you have to be polite and respectful to everyone, especially to the old people. They are your family and they love you." + +Anna and Ben nodded and got ready. They put on their best clothes and shoes. They also took a gift for their aunt, a nice picture they had drawn together. + +At the party, Anna and Ben saw many faces they did not know. Some were young, some were old. Some smiled, some frowned. Some talked, some were quiet. Anna and Ben felt shy and held each other's hands. + +They saw their aunt and gave her the picture. She hugged them and thanked them. She said they were very sweet and talented. She also said they looked very cute in their clothes. + +"Would you like to dance?" she asked them. "There is a band playing some nice songs." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They liked music, but they had never danced before. They did not know how to move their feet and arms. + +They were about to say no, when they saw an old man sitting in a corner. He had white hair, a long beard, and a cane. He was their grandpa, but they had not seen him for a long time. He looked sad and lonely. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for him. They remembered what their mom had said about being polite and respectful to the old people. They decided to do something nice for him. + +They let go of each other's hands and walked to the old man. They smiled and said hello. They asked him if he wanted to dance with them. + +The old man was surprised and touched. He smiled and said yes. He took their hands and stood up. He said he used to love dancing when he was young. He said he would teach them some steps. + +Anna and Ben followed him to the dance floor. They listened to the music and watched his feet. They tried to copy him. They felt clumsy and silly at first, but soon they felt happy and free. They laughed and spun and jumped. They forgot their fear and shyness. + +The old man was happy too. He felt young and alive again. He thanked them for their kindness and courage. He said they were very smart and brave. + +The other people at the party watched them and clapped. They said they were very cute and fun. They said they had made the party more lively and joyful. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They had learned something new and made someone happy. They had also learned to separate and try new things. They realized that they did not have to do everything together to be happy. They could still love each other and be themselves. + +They hugged the old man and thanked him for the dance. They said they loved him and hoped to see him again. They also hugged their mom and their aunt and thanked them for the party. They said they had fun and learned a lot. + +They went back to their room, their bike, and their big box of toys. They played the same games and helped each other with their homework. They were very happy. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or shells. But today they found something very special. It was a gem. It was blue and sparkly and smooth. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara said, holding the gem in her hand. "It's so pretty!" + +"Let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the gem. "I want to hold it too!" + +"No, it's mine!" Sara said, pulling the gem away. "I found it first!" + +"But I want to see it!" Ben said, trying to grab the gem. "Share with me!" + +They started to fight over the gem. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog liked shiny things too. It saw the gem and wanted to play with it. It barked and jumped and snatched the gem from Sara's hand. + +"Hey, give it back!" Sara cried, chasing the dog. "That's our gem!" + +"Come back here!" Ben yelled, following Sara. "We need our gem!" + +But the dog was faster and stronger. It ran away with the gem in its mouth. It did not answer Sara and Ben. It did not care about them. It only cared about the gem. + +Sara and Ben were sad and angry. They had lost their gem. They had nothing to play with. They had nothing to show their friends. They had nothing to make them happy. They had a boring day. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. They liked to run, jump, and climb on the swings and slides. One day, they saw a big hill near the park. They wanted to see what was on top of the hill. + +"Let's go up the hill!" Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Ben said. + +They held hands and started to walk up the hill. It was hard and steep, but they did not give up. They felt the sun on their faces and the wind in their hair. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They were happy. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw the park, the trees, the houses, and the sky. They also saw something else. It was a picnic basket with a red and white cloth. It smelled good. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. + +"Maybe someone left it here for us!" Lily said. + +They ran to the basket and opened it. Inside, they found sandwiches, juice, and dessert. There were cookies, cupcakes, and pies. They were hungry and excited. + +"Yummy, yummy, yummy!" Lily said. + +"Let's eat!" Ben said. + +They sat down on the cloth and ate the sandwiches and juice. They saved the dessert for last. They each picked their favorite. Lily chose a cookie, and Ben chose a cupcake. They bit into them and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is the best dessert ever!" Lily said. + +"I agree, this is so good!" Ben said. + +They finished their dessert and felt full and happy. They looked at each other and hugged. + +"We are so lucky!" Lily said. + +"Yes, we are!" Ben said. + +They thanked the basket and the hill and the sun and the wind. They packed everything back and left the basket where they found it. They held hands and walked down the hill. They felt the sun on their faces and the wind in their hair. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They were happy. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, Tim has a new car. It is red and shiny. Sam wants to play with it. + +"Can you lend me your car, Tim?" Sam asks. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. It is my car," Tim says. + +Sam takes the car and makes it zoom on the floor. He is happy. He does not want to give it back. + +"Sam, give me my car. It is my turn," Tim says. + +"No, it is my car now. You gave it to me," Sam says. + +"That is not true. I lent it to you. You are being mean," Tim says. + +They start to fight. They pull the car. They yell. They cry. + +Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the car and the boys. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. + +"Sam took my car and he won't give it back. He is stupid," Tim says. + +"No, Tim is stupid. He gave me his car and now he wants it back. He is a liar," Sam says. + +Mom is not happy. She takes the car from them. + +"Boys, boys, this is not how you play. You need to share and be nice. Tim, you can lend your car to Sam, but you have to ask for it back nicely. Sam, you have to respect Tim's car and give it back when he asks. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom," Tim and Sam say. + +Mom gives the car back to Tim. Tim looks at Sam. + +"Sam, do you want to play with my car again?" Tim asks. + +"Yes, please. Thank you, Tim," Sam says. + +They smile. They hug. They play with the car and the blocks. They are friends again. + +Mom is happy. She locks the door and goes to make some cookies. She is proud of her boys. They are not stupid. They are smart and kind. +Lily was a young girl who loved her blanket very much. She took it everywhere with her, even to the park and the store. She liked to hug it and smell it and feel its softness. + +One day, Lily went to visit her grandma with her mom. Grandma had a big house with many rooms and toys. Lily was happy to see grandma, but she did not want to let go of her blanket. + +"Hello, Lily, how are you?" grandma said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +"Hi, grandma, I'm good," Lily said. "But I want my blanket." + +"You can keep your blanket, dear, but don't you want to see what I have for you?" grandma said. She showed Lily a basket with some books and puzzles and dolls. + +Lily looked at the basket, but she did not feel like playing. She clutched her blanket tighter and said, "No, thank you, grandma. I just want my blanket." + +"Lily, don't be rude," mom said. "Grandma is trying to be nice to you. Why don't you give her a hug and say thank you?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, mom. I want my blanket." + +Mom sighed and said, "Lily, you are being very stubborn. You can't demand to have your blanket all the time. You have to share and be polite. How about you put your blanket on the couch and play with grandma for a little while? Then you can have your blanket back." + +Lily thought about it. She did not want to make mom or grandma sad, but she also did not want to lose her blanket. She looked at her blanket and then at grandma. She saw that grandma had a kind smile and a gentle voice. She decided to try something. + +"OK, mom," Lily said. "But can I hug grandma with my blanket?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. That's a good idea. You can hug grandma with your blanket." + +Lily got up and walked to grandma. She wrapped her blanket around her and grandma and gave her a big hug. Grandma hugged her back and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a sweet girl. I love you and your blanket." + +Lily felt happy and warm. She said, "I love you too, grandma. And I like your books and puzzles and dolls. Can we play with them now?" + +Grandma nodded and said, "Yes, Lily. We can play with them now. And you can keep your blanket with you if you want." + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, grandma. Let's play." She followed grandma to the basket and picked up a book. She still held her blanket, but she also held grandma's hand. She felt that her blanket was not the only thing that made her feel safe and loved. She had mom and grandma too. And they had her. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a worm on the grass. The worm is long and brown. + +"Look, a worm!" Tim says. He hops to the worm and picks it up. He holds it in his hand. + +"Yuck, a worm!" Sue says. She does not like worms. She thinks they are stupid and dirty. She hops away from Tim and the worm. + +"Hey, come back!" Tim says. He wants to show Sue the worm. He thinks it is cool and funny. He hops after Sue with the worm. + +"Go away, Tim!" Sue says. She is scared of the worm. She does not want to touch it or see it. She hops faster and faster. + +Tim and Sue hop around the park. They make a lot of noise. The worm wiggles in Tim's hand. It wants to go back to the grass. It thinks Tim and Sue are stupid and loud. It hopes they will leave it alone. +Sara and Ben went to the market with Mom. They saw many things to buy. They saw fruits and vegetables, bread and cheese, fish and meat, and flowers and toys. Sara liked the flowers. They were pretty and smelled good. Ben liked the toys. They were fun and colorful. + +Mom said they could each pick one thing to take home. Sara picked a yellow flower. Ben picked a blue car. Mom paid the seller and they went back to the car. Sara put her flower in a cup of water. Ben played with his car on the seat. + +But Ben's car was not a good toy. It had a sharp edge that cut his finger. Ben cried and showed Mom his finger. Mom said, "Oh no, that car is not safe. It has a sharp edge that can hurt you. Let me see your finger." Mom took a tissue and wrapped it around Ben's finger. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. We have to take the car back to the market and get a different toy. Maybe you can find a soft toy or a book." + +Sara felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Ben, you can have my flower if you want.

She wanted to read her books and learn new things. She said, "No, thank you. I like books. They are interesting and quiet." + +Tom did not like Lily's answer. He got angry and said, "Books are stupid. You are stupid. You don't know how to have fun." He grabbed one of Lily's books and threw it on the floor. + +Lily was very sad and mad. She loved her books and did not like Tom to be mean to them. She said, "Stop it, Tom. Books are not stupid. You are rude. You don't know how to be nice." + +Tom and Lily started to yell and fight. They made a big mess in Lily's room. They did not hear their mom coming upstairs. She opened the door and saw them. She was very disappointed and said, "What are you doing, Tom and Lily? Why are you fighting and making a mess? You should be kind and respectful to each other and to your things." + +Tom and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they were wrong and said, "We are sorry, mom. We were not kind and respectful. We will clean up the mess and apologize to each other." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Tom and Lily. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Books are not boring or stupid. They are valuable and enriching. Cars and trucks are not fun or noisy. They are playful and exciting. You can both enjoy different things and still get along. You can also share and learn from each other. That's what intelligent and loving siblings do." + +Tom and Lily hugged and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you. We love each other. We love books and cars and trucks. We will be intelligent and loving siblings from now on." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a man with a big bag of lollipops. He was giving them to the children who came to him. + +"Can we have a lollipop, please?" Anna asked the man. + +"Sure, here you go. One for you and one for you," the man said, handing them each a lollipop. + +Anna and Ben were happy. They licked their lollipops and ran to the swings. They swung high and low, laughing and smiling. + +But then, a big wind came. It blew Anna's hat off her head. It also blew her lollipop out of her hand. The lollipop fell on the ground and broke. + +Anna was sad. She looked at her lollipop. It was dirty and cracked. She could not eat it anymore. + +She started to cry. She cried loud and hard. She wanted her lollipop back. + +Ben saw Anna crying. He felt sorry for her. He ran to her and hugged her. + +"Don't cry, Anna. It's okay. You can have my lollipop. I don't mind," he said, giving her his lollipop. + +Anna stopped crying. She looked at Ben. He was smiling. He was nice. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I like you," she said, taking his lollipop. + +They shared the lollipop. They licked it together. It was sweet and yummy. + +They were happy again. They forgot about the cold wind. They went back to the swings. They swung high and low, laughing and smiling. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the bathroom. They have many toys and bubbles. One day, they have a new idea. They want to hang their toys on the shower. They think it is fun. + +They take a chair and climb on it. They reach for the shower. They try to hang their toys on it. But they are clumsy. They drop the toys. They slip on the chair. They fall on the floor. They make a big noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She runs to the bathroom. She sees Tom and Lily on the floor. She sees the toys and the chair. She sees the water and the bubbles. She is angry and worried. + +"Tom and Lily, what are you doing?" she asks. "Why are you hanging your toys on the shower? Why are you climbing on the chair? You could hurt yourself. You could break the shower. You could make a mess. You are naughty." + +Tom and Lily are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to have fun. We did not think. We were clumsy. We will not do it again. We will clean up. We will be good." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I love you, Tom and Lily. But you have to be careful. You have to listen. You have to respect the bathroom. It is not a playground. It is a place to wash and be clean. Hanging your toys on the shower is not fun. It is dangerous and silly. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will not hang our toys on the shower. We will play with them in the tub. We will be careful and listen. We will respect the bathroom. We will be good." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good, Tom and Lily. Now, let's clean up and have a real shower. Then, we can have a snack and read a story. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Lily smile. They say, "That sounds great, Mom. We love you. Thank you for teaching us." + +The moral value of the story is: Be careful and listen to your parents. Respect the places and things that are not for playing. Learn from your mistakes and be good. +Lily was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She liked to play with her toys, read her books, and dress herself. She did not like to share or listen to her mom and dad. + +One night, Lily decided she did not want to sleep in her bed. She wanted to sleep on the big mattress in the living room. She dragged her pillow and blanket and climbed on the mattress. She did not say good night to her mom and dad. She just turned off the light and closed her eyes. + +But soon, Lily felt something strange. The mattress started to shake and make noises. Lily was scared and opened her eyes. She saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a monster with big teeth and claws. Lily screamed and cried. + +Mom and dad heard Lily and ran to the living room. They turned on the light and saw Lily on the mattress. They also saw the shadow on the wall. It was not a monster. It was the fan that was shaking and making the mattress move. + +Mom and dad hugged Lily and calmed her down. They explained to her that it was not a monster, just a fan. They asked her why she was sleeping on the mattress. Lily said she wanted to be independent and do what she wanted. Mom and dad said they were proud of her for being independent, but they also said she needed to be careful and respectful. They said she should sleep in her bed, where it was safe and cozy. They said they loved her and wanted her to be happy. + +Lily felt sorry for being rude and stubborn. She said she was sorry and that she loved them too. She agreed to sleep in her bed and to share and listen more. She learned that being independent did not mean being alone or scared. It meant being brave and responsible. She also learned that mom and dad were always there for her, no matter what. She gave them a big hug and a kiss and went to her bed. She slept peacefully and had sweet dreams. +Tom liked to play with his dinosaur toys. He had many dinosaurs of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them roar and stomp and fight. He also liked to add new dinosaurs to his collection. + +One day, he saw a big box in the living room. It had a picture of a dinosaur on it. Tom was very excited. He ran to the box and opened it. Inside was a new dinosaur toy. It was green and had a long neck and a long tail. It was a brontosaurus. + +Tom took the brontosaurus out of the box and put it with his other dinosaurs. He wanted to make it roar and stomp and fight too. But the brontosaurus was very clumsy. It kept falling over and knocking down the other dinosaurs. It also made a funny noise that sounded like a moo. + +Tom was not happy. He did not like his new dinosaur. He thought it was too big and too silly. He wanted to take it back to the box. But then he saw his little sister, Lily. Lily was looking at the brontosaurus with big eyes. She liked it very much. She reached out her hand and touched its soft skin. + +Tom saw that Lily liked his new dinosaur. He felt sorry for the brontosaurus. He thought maybe it was not so bad after all. He decided to let Lily play with it. He said, "Here, Lily. You can have the brontosaurus. It is yours now." + +Lily smiled and hugged the brontosaurus. She made a moo noise too. She was very happy. Tom was happy too. He had added a new dinosaur to his collection, and he had made his sister happy. He went back to play with his other dinosaurs. He still liked to make them roar and stomp and fight. But he also liked to share. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill with many trees. They want to go up the hill and see what is there. + +"Let's go for a walk on the hill," Tom says. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. There may be hidden things on the hill," Mia says. + +They hold hands and start to walk. They see birds and flowers and rocks. They hear a stream and a wind. They are happy. + +They reach the top of the hill. They see a big house with a fence. They see a sign that says "Keep Out". + +"Who lives in that house?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a secret," Mia says. + +They see a window with a curtain. They see a shadow behind the curtain. They are curious. + +"Let's add some fun to our walk. Let's go and peek at the window," Tom says. + +"No, Tom, that is not nice. We should not spy on people. We should go back," Mia says. + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the fence and climbs over it. He goes to the window and tries to look inside. Mia follows him. She is scared. + +Suddenly, the curtain moves. A face appears. It is an old man with a beard and a hat. He looks angry. He sees Tom and Mia. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing here? This is my house! Go away!" he shouts. + +Tom and Mia are shocked. They scream and run away. They jump over the fence and run down the hill. They do not stop until they reach the park. + +They are safe. They are sorry. They hug each other. + +"We should not have done that. We should have listened to Mia. We should have respected the sign. We should have left the old man alone," Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, you are right. We should have been more careful. We should have enjoyed our walk without adding trouble. We should have been more polite," Mia says. + +They learn their lesson. They promise to be better friends. They go home and tell their parents what happened. They say they are sorry. They hope the old man is not too mad. They hope he is not too lonely. They hope he has some friends. They hope he is happy. +Lily liked to design things. She had many crayons and papers and stickers. She liked to draw houses and cars and animals. She wanted to be an artist when she grew up. + +One day, she decided to design a landscape. A landscape is a big picture of what you see outside. She looked out of her window and saw trees and grass and flowers. She liked how green they were. She wanted to make her landscape green too. + +She took a big paper and some green crayons. She started to draw the grass and the trees and the flowers. She was very happy with her work. She showed it to her mom. + +"Wow, Lily, this is a beautiful landscape!" her mom said. "You are very talented. I love how green it is." + +"Thank you, mom," Lily said. "Can I hang it on the wall?" + +"Of course, dear," her mom said. "Let me help you." + +They went to the living room and found a spot on the wall. They hung Lily's landscape next to a painting of a city. The painting of the city was very gray and dull. It had buildings and cars and smoke. Lily did not like it. + +"Mom, why do you have this painting?" Lily asked. "It is not pretty. It is not green." + +Her mom smiled. "This painting is very special, Lily. It was made by your grandma. She lived in the city when she was young. She wanted to show how it looked like." + +Lily looked at the painting again. She tried to imagine her grandma living there. She felt sorry for her. She wished she could see the green landscape too. + +"Mom, can we send my landscape to grandma?" Lily asked. "Maybe she will like it. Maybe she will feel happy." + +Her mom hugged her. "That is a very kind idea, Lily. I'm sure grandma will love it. She will be very proud of you." + +They put Lily's landscape in an envelope and wrote grandma's address. They went to the mailbox and sent it. Lily hoped it would reach grandma soon. She hoped it would make her smile. She was glad she could design something nice. +Lily liked to sing, but she was shy. She wanted to improve her voice, but she was afraid of what others would say. She only sang when she was alone in her room, with her teddy bear and her doll. + +One day, her mom told her that there was a talent show at school. She asked Lily if she wanted to join. Lily felt nervous, but she also felt curious. She wondered if she could sing in front of other people. She asked her mom, "Can I try?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can try. You have a beautiful voice, and I'm sure you can do well. But you have to practice, and you have to be brave. Do you have a friend who can help you?" + +Lily thought of her best friend, Ben. He was dependable and kind. He liked to sing, too, and he always encouraged her. She said, "Yes, I have Ben. He can help me." + +Her mom said, "That's great. Why don't you ask him to come over and practice with you? I'll make some cookies for you." + +Lily felt happy and excited. She called Ben and told him about the talent show. He said, "That sounds fun. I'll come over and we can sing together. What song do you want to sing?" + +Lily said, "I like the song about the rainbow. Do you know it?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I know it. It's a nice song. Let's sing it." + +They agreed to meet at Lily's house after school. Lily ran to her room and picked up her teddy bear and her doll. She said, "We're going to sing at the talent show. Are you ready?" + +They nodded and smiled. Lily hugged them and said, "You're my best friends. You always listen to me. Thank you for being here." + +She put them on her bed and waited for Ben. She hoped he would like her voice. She hoped they would have fun. She hoped they would do well at the talent show. She hoped she would not be shy. She hoped she would improve. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They have a lot of fun, but they also get very tired. They sit on a bench and drink some water. + +"Can we eat now?" Mia asks. She is hungry. + +"Yes, we can eat now," Ben says. He opens his backpack and takes out two sandwiches. He gives one to Mia and keeps one for himself. They also have some apples and cookies. + +They eat their sandwiches and apples and enjoy the cookies. They are happy and full. + +"Look, there is a cap on the ground," Mia says. She points to a red cap near a tree. + +"Maybe someone lost it," Ben says. He gets up and walks to the cap. He picks it up and looks at it. It is a nice cap, with a star on the front. + +"Can I try it on?" Mia asks. She likes the cap. + +"Sure, you can try it on," Ben says. He gives the cap to Mia. She puts it on her head and smiles. + +"It looks good on you," Ben says. + +"Thank you," Mia says. "Do you want to try it on too?" + +"OK, I will try it on too," Ben says. He takes the cap from Mia and puts it on his head. He laughs. + +They take turns trying on the cap and making funny faces. They have fun with the cap, but they also get very sleepy. + +"Maybe we should go home now," Mia says. She yawns. + +"Yes, we should go home now," Ben says. He yawns too. + +They put the cap back on the ground, in case the owner comes back. They pack their backpack and hold hands. They walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus. They are tired, but they are also happy. They had a good day in the park. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a pink doll that she loved very much. Ben had a truck that he liked to zoom around. They were having fun, but they also wanted some cheese. Cheese was their favorite snack. + +They asked their mom if they could have some cheese. Mom said yes, but they had to wait a little bit. She was busy making dinner in the kitchen. She told them to be patient and play nicely. Sara and Ben said okay, but they were very hungry. + +They decided to play a game. Sara said, "Let's pretend we are mice and we have to find cheese in the house. But we have to be careful, because there might be a cat." Ben said, "That sounds fun. I'll be the mouse with the big ears. You be the mouse with the pink bow." They nodded and started to look for cheese. + +They crawled under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the closet. They did not find any cheese. They only found dust, socks, and books. They were getting frustrated and bored. They wondered where mom hid the cheese. + +They went to the kitchen and peeked through the door. They saw mom chopping some vegetables on the counter. They also saw a big plate of cheese on the table. It looked so yummy and tempting. They wanted to grab some cheese and run away. + +But they also saw something else. They saw a big, fluffy, black cat sleeping on a chair near the table. It was mom's cat, Luna. Luna was very lazy and liked to nap a lot. But she also liked to chase mice, especially if they tried to steal her cheese. + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They had a choice. They could ignore the cat and try to get some cheese. Or they could wait for mom and ask her nicely. They remembered what mom said. She said to be patient and play nicely. She also said that Luna was not a toy and they should not bother her. + +They decided to be good mice and wait for mom. They did not want to make Luna angry or hurt her feelings. They also did not want to get in trouble with mom. They went back to the living room and played with their toys. They pretended that they found some cheese in their toy box and shared it. + +Soon, mom came and called them for dinner. She said, "I have a surprise for you. I made some cheese sandwiches for you. You can have them with some soup and salad. You are such good children. You played nicely and did not bother Luna. She is very happy and purring." Sara and Ben smiled and hugged mom. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you and we love cheese. And we love Luna too." They went to the table and enjoyed their cheese sandwiches. They were very happy and full. +Sam liked to play with his toys in his room. He had many toys, but his favorite was a big iron truck. He liked to make it go vroom and honk and carry things. He was very proud of his iron truck. + +One day, his mom said they had to go to the store. She told Sam to put away his toys and get ready. Sam did not want to go. He wanted to play with his iron truck. He had an idea. He put his iron truck on his bed and covered it with a blanket. He thought his mom would not see it. + +He ran to the door and said he was ready. His mom looked at his bed and saw a big lump. She lifted the blanket and saw the iron truck. She was not happy. She said the iron truck was filthy. It had dirt and mud and grease on it. She said it would make his bed dirty too. She said he had to clean his iron truck and his bed before they could go. + +Sam was sad. He did not want to clean his iron truck. He liked it the way it was. He said he was sorry. He said he wanted to display his iron truck. He said it was his best toy. His mom understood. She said he could display his iron truck, but not on his bed. She said he could put it on a shelf or a table or a chair. She said he still had to clean it and his bed. + +Sam agreed. He took his iron truck and a cloth and some water. He wiped the dirt and mud and grease off his iron truck. He made it shiny and clean. He put it on a shelf in his room. He said it looked nice. He changed his bed sheets and pillow case. He said his bed looked nice too. He ran to his mom and said he was done. His mom smiled. She said he did a good job. She said they could go to the store now. Sam was happy. He hugged his mom and his iron truck. He said he loved them both. +Lily loved to swim in the pool. She had a beautiful skirt that she wore over her swimsuit. It was pink and had flowers on it. She felt like a princess when she wore it. + +One day, she went to the pool with her mom and dad. She saw a boy playing with a ball. He looked nice. She wanted to play with him.

Can I see it?" + +Lily was happy. She liked Sam. She showed him her skirt. She twirled around and made it flutter. Sam clapped his hands. He said, "Wow, you look like a fairy. Can you swim with your skirt?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I can swim with my skirt. It's fun. Do you want to swim with me?" + +Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, I want to swim with you. Let's go to the shallow end. Come on, follow me." + +Lily and Sam ran to the pool. They jumped in and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun. They swam with Lily's skirt. They became friends. Lily was happy. She had a new friend who liked her beautiful skirt. +Tom and Lily were going on a big plane with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They had their bags and their passports. A passport is a small book with your name and picture that lets you go to other places. + +They got to the airport and waited in a long line. Tom and Lily were bored and tired. They wanted to see the plane and the clouds. They started to whine and cry. Mom and Dad told them to be quiet and patient. Patient means to wait calmly and nicely. + +"Look, there is a bird!" Lily said, pointing to a window. She ran to see the bird. Tom followed her. They forgot their passports on the floor. Mom and Dad did not see them. They were busy talking to a man with a badge. + +The bird flew away. Tom and Lily blinked. They did not know where they were. They did not see Mom and Dad. They saw many people and bags and carts. They were scared and lost. They started to scream and cry. + +Mom and Dad heard them. They turned around and saw them. They were very angry and worried. They ran to them and hugged them. They looked for their passports. They could not find them. Someone had taken them. They could not go on the plane. They had to go back home. They were very sad and sorry. + +The moral of the story is: always stay close to your parents and do not leave your things behind. +Sara loves to play with her mom's purse. She thinks it is adorable. It has many colors and a big zipper. Sara likes to open the zipper and see what is inside. She finds a wallet, a phone, a key, and a lipstick. + +One day, Sara decides to play with the purse while her mom is at work. She opens the zipper and takes out the wallet. She sees some paper and some coins. She thinks they are pretty. She puts them in her pocket. Then she takes out the phone. She presses some buttons and hears a beep. She thinks it is funny. She puts the phone in her pocket too. Then she takes out the key. She wonders what it opens. She puts the key in her pocket as well. Finally, she takes out the lipstick. She opens it and sees a red stick. She rubs it on her lips and cheeks. She thinks she looks beautiful. She puts the lipstick in her pocket and closes the zipper. + +Sara is very happy with her new things. She runs to the mirror and admires herself. She smiles and says, "I look like mom!" She does not hear the door open and her mom come in. Her mom sees Sara with her purse and her pockets full. She sees the lipstick on her face. She is very surprised and angry. She says, "Sara, what have you done? You took my things without asking! That is not nice! You have to give them back!" Sara feels scared and sad. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to play. I like your purse. It is adorable." Her mom sighs and hugs her. She says, "I know, Sara. But you have to ask before you take something that is not yours. And you have to be careful with my things. They are important for my work. Do you understand?" Sara nods and says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you." Her mom says, "I love you too, Sara. Now, let's put everything back in the purse and clean your face. Then we can have a snack and read a story." Sara smiles and says, "Okay, mom. That sounds good." She gives her mom the wallet, the phone, the key, and the lipstick. She helps her mom put them back in the purse. Then she lets her mom wipe her face with a wet cloth. She feels better. She holds her mom's hand and walks to the kitchen. She thinks, "Mom's purse is adorable, but mom is more adorable." +Tom was a big dog who liked to chase cats. He did not care if the cats were scared or hurt. He thought it was fun to make them run and hide. One day, he saw a small cat on the street. He ran after it, barking loud. + +"Leave me alone!" the cat said. "You are mean and bad!" + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to catch the cat and bite it. He did not see the car that was coming fast. The car hit Tom and made him fly in the air. He landed on the ground with a thud. He felt a lot of pain in his leg and his head. + +The cat ran away, but a kind man saw what happened. He picked up Tom and put him in his car. He drove him to a place where a veterinarian worked. A veterinarian is a person who helps animals when they are sick or hurt. + +The veterinarian looked at Tom and said, "You have a broken leg and a bump on your head. You need to stay here for a while. I will give you some medicine and a bandage. You will feel better soon, but you have to be careful and not chase cats anymore." + +Tom felt sorry for what he did. He realized that he was wrong and cruel. He wished he could say sorry to the cat. He also felt grateful to the kind man and the veterinarian. He licked their hands and wagged his tail. + +The medicine and the bandage helped Tom heal, but they also tasted bitter. Tom did not like the bitter taste, but he knew he had to take them. He learned his lesson. He decided to be nice and gentle to other animals. He also learned to yield to cars and people on the street. He did not want to get hurt again. + +Moral: Chasing cats is not fun, it is dangerous and mean. Be kind and respectful to other animals and people. Listen and obey the rules of the road. +Tom and Mia were excited. They were going to an island with their mom and dad. They had never seen an island before. They wanted to play in the sand and swim in the water. + +They got on a big boat. The boat was loud and fast. It made big waves. Tom and Mia looked out the window. They saw the island. It was green and small. They saw some birds and some trees. + +"Look, look!" Tom said. "There is the island! Can we go there now?" + +"Almost, almost," Dad said. "We have to wait a little bit. The boat has to stop first." + +Tom and Mia waited. They were very excited. They thought about the island. They thought about what they would do there. They thought it would be fun. + +But then something bad happened. The boat hit a rock. The rock made a hole in the boat. The water came in. The boat started to sink. + +"Help, help!" Mom said. "We have to get out! Put on these vests!" + +Tom and Mia were scared. They did not understand. They did not want to leave the boat. They did not want to go in the water. They wanted to go to the island. + +But they had no choice. Mom and Dad grabbed them and jumped out of the boat. They floated in the water. They saw the boat go down. They saw the island get smaller and smaller. + +They cried. They were not excited anymore. They were sad. They did not like the island. They did not like the water. They wanted to go home. +Anna did not like haircuts. She liked her long hair. She liked to make braids and ponytails. She liked to play with her hair clips and ribbons. But her mom said she needed a haircut. Her mom said her hair was too long and messy. Her mom said it was time to go to the salon. + +"No, no, no!" Anna said. She ran away from her mom. She hid under the bed. She did not want to go to the salon. She did not want to cut her hair. She was scared of the scissors and the noise. She was scared of the lady who cut hair. She did not like her. + +"Anna, come out, please," her mom said. She looked under the bed. She saw Anna's feet. She tried to pull her out. "It's not that bad, honey. The lady is nice. She will make your hair look pretty. And you can choose a sticker or a candy after the haircut. Come on, let's go." + +"No, no, no!" Anna said. She kicked her mom. She held on to the bed. She did not want to go. She did not want a sticker or a candy. She wanted her hair. + +"Anna, stop it," her mom said. She was angry. She was tired. She had a broken arm. She had a cast on her arm. She could not use her arm well. She had fallen from the stairs. She had hurt her arm. She needed help. She could not do everything by herself. She needed Anna to be good. "You have to go, Anna. You have to get a haircut. You have to listen to me. I insist." + +Anna saw her mom's broken arm. She saw her mom's sad face. She felt sorry for her mom. She knew her mom was in pain. She knew her mom loved her. She decided to be good. She decided to go to the salon. She decided to get a haircut. She crawled out from under the bed. She hugged her mom. She said, "OK, mom. I will go. I will get a haircut. I love you." +Tom had a pet cat named Spot. Spot was a black and white cat who liked to play and sleep. Tom loved Spot very much and gave him food and water every day. + +One day, Tom and Spot went for a walk in the park. They saw many things, like trees, flowers, birds and dogs. Spot was curious and wanted to chase the birds and dogs, but Tom held him on a leash and said, "No, Spot, you have to stay with me. The birds and dogs are not your friends. They might hurt you or run away." + +Spot was not happy. He wanted to have fun and explore. He pulled on the leash and tried to get away from Tom. Tom was troubled. He did not want to lose Spot or make him sad. He said, "Spot, please be good. I know you want to play, but we have to be careful. The park is big and there are many dangers. You have to listen to me and yield. I am your friend and I want you to be safe and happy." + +Spot looked at Tom and saw that he was worried and kind. He felt sorry for making Tom troubled. He stopped pulling on the leash and rubbed his head against Tom's leg. He said, "Meow, meow, meow." That was his way of saying, "I'm sorry, Tom. I love you and I will yield. You are my friend and I want you to be safe and happy too." + +Tom smiled and hugged Spot. He said, "Thank you, Spot. I love you too. You are a good pet and a good friend. Let's go home and have some treats. You deserve them for being so good." + +Spot purred and followed Tom. He was happy and content. He learned that sometimes he had to yield and listen to Tom, because Tom knew what was best for him. He also learned that Tom always cared for him and wanted him to have fun. He decided that he had the best friend and the best pet in the world. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the hedge. The hedge was big and green and had many leaves. Sometimes they saw birds and bugs in the hedge. + +One day, they saw something else in the hedge. It was a small, brown, furry animal. It had long ears and a short tail. It looked scared and sad. + +"Hello, little animal," Lila said. "What are you doing in the hedge?" + +The animal did not answer. It only made a soft noise. + +"Maybe it is lost," Ben said. "Maybe it is thirsty. The sun is very hot today." + +Lila and Ben decided to help the animal. They ran to the house and got a bowl of water. They brought it to the hedge and put it near the animal. + +"Here, little animal," Ben said. "You can drink this water. It will make you feel better." + +The animal looked at the water. It slowly came out of the hedge and sniffed the water. Then it drank some of it. It looked happier. + +"Thank you, children," the animal said. "You are very kind. I was very thirsty and dry. I ran away from my home because I was troubled. A big, mean dog chased me and I got lost. I hid in the hedge, but I did not know how to get back." + +Lila and Ben were surprised. They did not know the animal could talk. + +"Don't worry, little animal," Lila said. "We will help you find your home. What is your name?" + +"My name is Fluffy," the animal said. "I am a rabbit. Do you know where the rabbit hole is?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They had seen the rabbit hole before. It was not far from the garden. + +"Come on, Fluffy," Ben said. "We will show you the way. Follow us." + +Lila and Ben took Fluffy by the paws and led him to the rabbit hole. Fluffy thanked them again and hopped into the hole. He waved goodbye to them. + +Lila and Ben waved back. They were happy they had helped Fluffy. They went back to the garden and continued to play. They hoped they would see Fluffy again. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big, red truck with a lot of ice cream. They run to the truck and ask for ice cream. + +"Can we have ice cream, please?" Sara says. + +"Sure, what flavor do you want?" the truck man says. + +"I want chocolate!" Ben says. + +"I want strawberry!" Sara says. + +The truck man gives them ice cream in cones. They pay him with coins and say thank you. They lick their ice cream and smile. + +But then, Sara feels something strange. Her tongue is cold and tingly. Her mouth is sweet and sour. She does not like the taste of her ice cream. + +"Yuck!" Sara says. "This is not strawberry! This is lemon!" + +She looks at her cone and sees that it is yellow, not pink. She is confused. How did this happen? + +She looks at Ben and sees that he is happy. He is licking his ice cream and making noises. + +"Mmm!" Ben says. "This is so good! This is not chocolate! This is vanilla!" + +He looks at his cone and sees that it is white, not brown. He is not confused. He likes the taste of his ice cream. + +He sees that Sara is sad. He wants to help her. + +"Here, Sara, you can have mine. I don't mind." Ben says. He gives her his cone and takes hers. + +Sara smiles. She takes his cone and licks it. She likes the taste of his ice cream. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice." Sara says. + +They swap their cones and enjoy their ice cream. They are not confused anymore. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big log near the pond. They want to walk on the log and balance. They hold hands and step on the log. + +"Be careful, Lily. The log is wobbly and the water is deep," Tom says. + +"I am careful, Tom. Look, I can balance with one foot," Lily says. She lifts her other foot and smiles. + +But then, a frog jumps on the log and makes it shake. Lily loses her balance and falls into the pond. Tom tries to catch her, but he falls too. They splash and scream. + +"Help, help! We are wet and cold!" they cry. + +Mama and Papa hear them and run to the pond. They pull Tom and Lily out of the water and wrap them in towels. + +"Are you okay, my loves?" Mama asks. + +"We are okay, Mama. But we are sorry. We were playing on the log and we fell," Tom says. + +"It's okay, Tom. We are not angry. But you have to be more careful next time. The pond is deep and dangerous," Papa says. + +"Can we search for the frog, Papa? He made us fall," Lily says. + +"Maybe later, Lily. First, we have to go home and change your clothes. You are wet and cold," Papa says. + +Tom and Lily nod and hug Mama and Papa. They are happy they are safe and loved. They still want to search for the frog, but they will wait until they are dry and warm. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They saw a big bowl of cookies on the table. They wanted to eat some cookies, but Mom said no. Mom said they had to wait for dinner. + +"Let's take some cookies when Mom is not looking," Ben whispered to Lily. "She will not know." + +Lily nodded. She was clever. She had a plan. She said to Mom, "Mom, can I have some water, please?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, dear. Here you go." She gave Lily a cup of water and went to the kitchen. + +Lily drank some water and then put the cup on the table. She pretended to spill some water on the floor. She said, "Oops, I'm sorry, Mom. I made a mess." + +Mom came back and said, "That's okay, Lily. Accidents happen. I'll get a towel and clean it up." + +While Mom was busy, Lily and Ben grabbed some cookies from the bowl and ran to their room. They ate the cookies and smiled. They were happy. + +But soon, they felt sick. Their tummies hurt. They had eaten too many cookies. They cried and called for Mom. + +Mom came and saw the empty bowl and the crumbs on the bed. She was angry. She said, "Lily and Ben, you were naughty. You took the cookies without asking. You lied to me. And now you are sick. You have to go to bed without dinner. And no more cookies for a week." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They wished they had listened to Mom. They learned their lesson. They hugged Mom and said, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too, but you have to be good. And you have to be honest. And you have to wait for dinner." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They went to bed without dinner. They had a bad ending. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They both want to go on the slide. + +Ben runs to the slide. He says, "I go first!" Mia runs after him. She says, "No, I go first!" They push and pull. They do not yield. They are not nice. + +A lady sees them. She says, "Stop! You are not sharing. You are wasting time. You can both go on the slide. But you have to take turns. That is helpful." + +Ben and Mia listen to the lady. They say, "Sorry." They decide to yield. They take turns on the slide. They have fun. They are helpful. They are happy. +Ben and Lily are having breakfast with Mom and Dad. They like toast with jam and butter. They also have milk and fruit. Mom and Dad have coffee and eggs. + +Ben and Lily are very hungry. They eat their toast very fast. They want more toast. They ask Mom and Dad for more toast. Mom and Dad say yes, but they have to pay for more toast. + +Ben and Lily are confused. How do they pay for more toast? They do not have money. They only have toys and books. Mom and Dad smile. They say they are joking. They do not want money. They want something else. + +Ben and Lily wonder what Mom and Dad want. They look at each other. They have an idea. They give Mom and Dad a big hug and a kiss. They say they love them very much. They say thank you for the toast. + +Mom and Dad are very happy. They hug and kiss Ben and Lily back. They say they love them too. They say they are very funny. They give them more toast. They all laugh and enjoy their breakfast. +Lily liked to follow her big brother Tom when he rode his bicycle. She had a small bicycle with four wheels, but she wanted to ride like Tom. One day, Tom said, "Lily, do you want to go to the park with me? We can see the ducks and the swings." + +Lily was very happy and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I want to go to the park with you!" She put on her helmet and got on her bicycle. Tom put on his helmet and got on his bicycle too. He said, "Lily, follow me, but be careful. The road is busy and you have to stop at the red light." + +Lily nodded and followed Tom. She pedaled fast and tried to keep up with him. She saw the cars and the trucks and the buses on the road. She heard the horns and the sirens and the brakes. She felt scared and excited at the same time. She saw the red light and stopped. She saw Tom cross the road and waved at her. She waited for the green light. + +But then, she saw something shiny and pretty on the sidewalk. It was a balloon. A big, red balloon. Lily loved balloons. She forgot about the red light and the road and Tom. She got off her bicycle and ran to the balloon. She grabbed it and smiled. + +But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a car. A big, fast car. It was coming towards her. Lily dropped the balloon and screamed. She saw Tom run to her and pull her away. She felt his arms around her and heard his voice. He said, "Lily, Lily, are you okay? You have to be careful. You can't run to the road. You have to follow me. I love you, Lily." + +Lily hugged Tom and cried. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry. I saw the balloon and I wanted it. I forgot to follow you. I love you, Tom." + +Tom kissed Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. It's okay. You're safe now. But don't do that again. Next time, follow me and we'll go to the park. We'll see the ducks and the swings. And maybe we'll find another balloon. A big, red balloon. For you." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big bucket of rocks. They use the rocks to make shapes and patterns on the ground. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Tom. He has a shiny red bike. He rides his bike around the park. He sees Lily and Ben and their rocks. + +"Can I play with you?" he asks. + +"Sure," Lily says. "We have many rocks. You can have some." + +"Thank you," Tom says. He takes some rocks from the bucket. He makes a bike shape with the rocks. + +Ben is jealous. He likes his rocks. He does not like Tom. He thinks Tom has a better toy than him. He wants Tom to go away. + +"Hey, that's my rock!" Ben says. He points to a big rock that Tom used for the bike wheel. + +"No, it's not. It's mine. Lily gave it to me," Tom says. + +"Yes, it is. It's my favorite rock. Give it back!" Ben says. He tries to grab the rock from Tom. + +"Stop it! You're ruining my bike!" Tom says. He pushes Ben away. + +Lily sees them fighting. She is sad. She does not like fighting. She likes playing. + +"Stop it, both of you!" she says. "Rocks are for sharing. Bikes are for sharing. Friends are for sharing. Don't be jealous. Be nice." + +She picks up the big rock. She breaks it in half. She gives one half to Ben and one half to Tom. + +"See? Now you both have a rock. And you can both play with the bike. And you can both be my friends.

It's fun. Look!" He runs to the puddle and jumps in. He makes a big splash. He laughs. + +Lily watches him. She thinks he looks silly. But she also thinks he looks happy. She smiles. + +She decides to try it too. She runs to the puddle and jumps in. She makes a bigger splash. She laughs too. + +They splash each other and giggle. They don't care about the dirt. They are having fun. + +But then, Tom slips and falls. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Lily stops laughing. She feels sorry for him. She says, "Oh, no. Are you okay?" + +She goes to him and helps him up. She looks at his knee. It is red and bleeding. She says, "You need a band-aid.

They tried to count the stars and name the shapes they made. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud sound. It was like a hoot, but deeper and scarier. They felt afraid and hugged each other. They wondered what it was. + +"Who is there?" Tom asked in a small voice. + +"It is me, the owl," a voice answered from a tree. "I live here and I watch the night. Why are you here? You should be in your bed." + +Lila and Tom looked at the tree and saw a big bird with yellow eyes and brown feathers. It was the owl. They felt amazed and shy. + +"We are sorry, Mr. Owl," Lila said. "We wanted to see the stars and the moon. They are so pretty and interesting." + +The owl nodded. "They are, indeed. But they are also very late for you.

The squirrel looked at her and made a noise. + +"Please, give me my sock," Lily said. + +The squirrel tilted its head and blinked. It dropped the sock and ran away. + +Lily reached for the sock and pulled it out. She was happy and proud. She had found her sock and had a fun adventure. + +She put on her sock and ran back to her mom and Max. She told them what happened. They hugged her and praised her. + +"You are an adventurous girl, Lily," her mom said. + +"I know, mom. And I love my socks," Lily said. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the river to look for frogs and stones. The sky was gloomy and the wind was cold, but they did not care. They had fun jumping and splashing in the water. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big frog!" Tom said, holding a green and brown creature in his hands. "It is so slimy and bumpy!" + +"Let me see, Tom!" Lily said, running towards him. "I want to touch it too!" + +But as Lily got closer, the frog got scared and jumped out of Tom's hands. It landed on Lily's face and made her scream. She fell into the river and the water was deep and fast. Tom tried to help her, but he was too small and weak. He could only watch as Lily was swept away by the current. + +"Lily, Lily!" Tom cried, but Lily did not answer. She was gone. + +Tom was very sad and scared. He ran back to his house and told his mom what happened. His mom hugged him and called the police, but it was too late. They could not find Lily.

The end. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play music. Lila had a drum and Tom had a guitar. They would bang and strum and make a lot of noise. They did not care about rhythm, they just wanted to have fun. + +One day, they saw a poster for a talent show at the park. It said, "Show your skills and shine on stage! Win a prize!" Lila and Tom wanted to win the prize, so they decided to enter the talent show. They thought they were the best musicians in the world. + +They went to the park and saw many other kids with different talents. Some could sing, some could dance, some could do magic tricks. Lila and Tom felt nervous, but they did not practice. They thought they did not need to. + +When it was their turn, they went on stage and started to play their music. But they did not sound good. They were out of tune, out of sync, and out of control. The other kids laughed at them and booed them. Lila and Tom felt sad and ashamed. They ran off the stage and hid behind a tree. + +A kind lady came to them and said, "Don't be sad, kids. You have a lot of energy and passion, but you need to work on your rhythm. Rhythm is the beat that makes music sound nice and smooth. If you practice and listen to each other, you can improve your rhythm and play better music." + +Lila and Tom looked at each other and nodded. They thanked the lady and asked her for some tips. She showed them how to tap their feet, clap their hands, and count to four. She also gave them some smelly cheese to eat, because she said it was good for the voice. + +Lila and Tom ate the cheese and practiced their rhythm. They found out that playing music with rhythm was more fun and easier than playing without it. They also sounded better and felt happier. + +The next day, they went back to the park and asked the talent show organizer if they could play again. He agreed and gave them another chance. They went on stage and played their music with rhythm. The other kids cheered and clapped for them. Lila and Tom felt proud and happy. They won the prize, which was a big cake. They shared it with the kind lady and the other kids. They learned that rhythm is important for music and for friendship. +Tim and his mom went to the park. They saw a pond with many ducks. Tim liked the ducks. He wanted to feed them bread. He asked his mom for some bread. + +"Here you go, Tim. But be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And don't throw the bread too hard. The ducks might get scared," his mom said. + +Tim nodded. He took a piece of bread and broke it into small bits. He threw them gently to the ducks. The ducks came closer and ate the bread. They quacked happily. Tim smiled. + +One duck was different from the others. It had dirt and mud on its feathers. It looked sad. It did not eat the bread. It stayed away from the other ducks. Tim felt sorry for the dirty duck. He wanted to help it. + +"Mom, can I wash the dirty duck? It looks unhappy. Maybe it will feel better if it is clean," Tim asked. + +His mom looked at the dirty duck. She thought for a moment. Then she said, "Okay, Tim. But you have to be very gentle. And you have to ask the duck first. Maybe it does not want to be washed." + +Tim nodded. He took a bottle of water and a cloth from his mom's bag. He walked slowly to the dirty duck. He said, "Hello, duck. I want to wash you. You have a lot of dirt and mud on you. Do you want to be clean?" + +The dirty duck looked at Tim. It saw the water and the cloth. It nodded. It quacked softly. + +Tim smiled. He poured some water on the cloth. He rubbed the cloth gently on the duck's feathers. He washed away the dirt and the mud. He did not hurt the duck. He was very careful. + +The duck felt the water and the cloth. It felt the dirt and the mud go away. It felt its feathers become soft and shiny. It felt happy. It quacked loudly. + +Tim finished washing the duck. He threw the cloth in the trash. He said, "There you go, duck. You are clean now. You look beautiful. Do you feel better?" + +The duck looked at Tim. It saw his kind face and his bright eyes. It felt grateful. It nodded. It quacked happily. It gave Tim a kiss on the cheek. + +Tim laughed. He said, "You are welcome, duck. I am glad you are happy. You are a good duck. I like you." + +His mom watched them. She smiled. She said, "Tim, you did a good thing. You helped the duck. You made it happy. You were very gentle and respectful. I am proud of you." + +Tim hugged his mom. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love the duck." + +The duck quacked. It joined the other ducks. They ate the bread. They played in the water. They were happy. + +The end. + +Moral value: Be kind and helpful to others. They will appreciate it and be happy. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. They were having fun. + +But then a stranger came. He was a big man with a beard and a hat. He looked at Tom and Anna and smiled. He said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to play with me? I have some candy in my car." + +Tom and Anna did not know the stranger. They felt worried. They did not want to go with him. They wanted to stay in the park with their ball. + +Tom said, "No, thank you. We don't talk to strangers. We have to go now. Bye." He took Anna's hand and they ran away from the stranger. + +The stranger frowned. He was angry. He wanted to take Tom and Anna with him. He said, "Wait, don't go. Come back. I have more candy. And toys. And a puppy." + +But Tom and Anna did not listen. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her about the stranger. Their mom hugged them and said, "You did the right thing. You are very smart and brave. I am proud of you. Never go with strangers. They can be bad." + +Tom and Anna felt safe with their mom. They did not want to see the stranger again. They played with their ball and forgot about him. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Ben found a big worm and showed it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, a worm!" Ben said. "It is long and slimy and wiggly." + +Lily looked at the worm and felt scared. She did not like worms. She thought they were icky and creepy. + +"Yuck, Ben, put it away!" Lily said. "I don't want to see it. It is gross and scary." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He thought worms were cool and fun. He wanted to play a trick on Lily. He moved the worm closer to her face and said, "Boo!" + +Lily screamed and ran away. She felt angry and sad. She did not like Ben's trick. She thought he was mean and rude. + +Ben laughed and chased after Lily. He still had the worm in his hand. He wanted to make Lily laugh too. He did not know he was hurting her feelings. + +Lily ran to the house and found her mom. She told her what Ben did. She cried and hugged her mom. + +Mom listened to Lily and felt sorry for her. She also felt mad at Ben. She went to the garden and called Ben. + +"Ben, come here!" Mom said. "Why did you scare Lily with the worm? That was not nice. You made her feel helpless and sad." + +Ben stopped laughing and looked at Mom. He saw her angry face and heard her stern voice. He felt sorry and ashamed. He did not mean to make Lily feel bad. He wanted to change and be a good brother. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily." Ben said. "I was just playing. I did not know Lily hated worms. I will not do it again. I will be kind and gentle." + +Mom nodded and smiled. She was glad Ben said sorry and wanted to change. She gave him a hug and said, "That's good, Ben. I'm proud of you. Now, go and say sorry to Lily too. And put the worm back in the dirt. It belongs there." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He did what Mom said. He went to Lily and said sorry. He gave her a hug and a flower. He put the worm back in the dirt. He said goodbye to the worm and thanked it for being his friend. + +Lily smiled and forgave Ben. She was happy he changed and was nice. She gave him a hug and a kiss. She said thank you for the flower and said she loved him. + +Ben and Lily played together in the garden. They did not look for worms anymore. They looked for butterflies and bees. They were happy and friendly. They learned to respect each other and the bugs. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room when they heard a loud knock on the door. They ran to the window and saw a big truck with a red sign that said "Delivery". They wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it's a present for us!" Lily said excitedly. + +"Or maybe it's a monster!" Ben said fearfully. + +They heard their mom open the door and talk to the man from the truck. He gave her a big package and left. Mom brought the package inside and put it on the table. + +"What is it, Mom?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"It's a surprise for you. Do you want to open it?" Mom said with a smile. + +Lily and Ben nodded eagerly. They ran to the table and tore off the paper. Inside, they saw a big box with a picture of a train set on it. + +"Wow! A train set!" Lily and Ben exclaimed. + +They opened the box and took out the pieces. They examined them carefully and saw that they could make different tracks and stations. They also saw a button that made the train move and make noises. + +"Can we play with it, Mom?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"Of course you can. But first, say thank you to Grandma and Grandpa. They sent you this package for your birthday." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben looked at the card that was attached to the package. It had their names and a picture of a cake with candles. They realized that it was their birthday today. + +"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa!" Lily and Ben said. + +They hugged Mom and then started to play with their new train set. They forgot about their fear of monsters and had a lot of fun. They were very happy with their surprise. +Mia and Ben were hungry. They wanted a snack. They looked in the fridge.

One day, she saw a big, yellow daisy that was very pretty. She wanted to pick it and put it in her hair. + +But the daisy was not alone. It had a friend, a small, green caterpillar. The caterpillar was harmless. It did not bite or sting. It only ate leaves and made silk. The caterpillar liked the daisy very much. It needed the daisy to make a cocoon and become a butterfly. + +Lily did not see the caterpillar. She reached for the daisy and pulled it hard. The caterpillar fell to the ground and cried. It was scared and hurt. It lost its friend and its home. + +Lily heard the caterpillar cry. She looked down and saw it. She felt sorry for it. She realized she had been selfish.

And look, there is the sea!" Lila said, looking down. "It is blue and shiny. It is pretty." + +They walked closer to the edge of the cliff, but they did not see the sign that said "Danger". They did not know that the cliff was not safe. + +Suddenly, the ground under their feet started to crack. They felt scared and screamed for help. They held each other's hands and hoped someone would hear them. + +Luckily, a man who was walking his dog heard their cries. He ran to the cliff and saw them hanging on the edge. He quickly grabbed a rope and threw it to them. + +"Hold on, kids, I'm here to help!" he shouted. "Grab the rope and don't let go!" + +Lila and Tom did as he said and he pulled them up. They were very grateful and thanked him. + +"Thank you, mister, you saved us!" they said. + +"You're welcome, kids, but you should be more careful. This cliff is dangerous.

Your turn, Sam." + +Sam threw his square block in the air and tried to catch it. But the block was too big and heavy. It fell on his head and hurt him. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow.

It's a special block. You can't have it." + +Sam was sad and angry. He looked at Tom's block and saw something strange. The block was not shiny anymore. It was peeling and cracking. He saw that it was not a real block. It was a fake block. It was made of paper and glue. + +"Tom, your block is fake," Sam said. "It's not a special block. It's a bad block. It's breaking and falling apart. You cheated, Tom. You lied to me." + +Tom was shocked and scared. He looked at his block and saw that Sam was right. His block was fake. It was a bad block.

I'm sorry, Sam. I made a mistake, Sam. I want to be your friend, Sam." + +But Sam did not hear him. He did not come back.

He says, "Tom, Sam, what have you done? You have ruined my truck and hurt many things and people! You are very naughty and careless! You are in big trouble!" + +Tom and Sam are very sorry and scared. They cry and say, "We are sorry, Dad, we are sorry! We just wanted to play! We didn't mean to do bad things!" But Dad does not forgive them. He takes them out of the truck and spanks them hard. He says, "You will not play with any trucks for a long time. You will go to your room and stay there. You will not have any fun or snacks or stories. You will only have sleepy time." + +Tom and Sam go to their room and lie on their bed. They are very sleepy and sore and sad. They hug each other and say, "We are sorry, Tom, we are sorry, Sam. We love each other and we love Dad. We hope he will love us again and restore his truck and his smile." But they do not know if he will. They close their eyes and fall asleep. The end. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big truck with a loud horn. They want to hear the horn again. + +"Can we pull the horn, please?" Anna asks the truck driver. + +The truck driver smiles and nods. He lets Anna and Ben climb into the truck. He shows them the horn. + +"Be careful, it is very loud," he says. + +Anna and Ben are excited. They take turns to pull the horn. The horn goes beep beep beep. They laugh and clap their hands. + +The truck driver is happy. He likes Anna and Ben. They are obedient and polite. + +"Thank you for letting us pull the horn," Anna says. + +"You are welcome. Thank you for being good," the truck driver says. + +He gives Anna and Ben a sticker each. They say goodbye and wave to the truck driver. They run back to their mom and dad. They show them their stickers and tell them about the horn. Mom and dad are proud of Anna and Ben. They hug them and say they love them. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red truck with a loud motor. They like to make the motor go vroom vroom and drive the truck around the floor. + +One morning, Ben and Lily wake up early. They want to play with their truck before breakfast. They sneak out of their bed and go to their toy box. But when they open it, they see something different. There is no truck inside. There is only a note that says: "I borrowed your truck. Love, Sam." + +Sam is their big brother. He is six years old. He likes to play with his own toys, but sometimes he takes Ben and Lily's toys without asking. Ben and Lily are angry. They want their truck back. They run to Sam's room and knock on his door. + +"Sam, Sam, give us our truck!" they shout. + +Sam opens the door. He is holding the truck in his hands. He smiles and says: "Hi, Ben and Lily. Do you want your truck?" + +"Yes, yes, give it to us!" they say. + +"OK, OK, calm down. I just wanted to try it. It's a cool truck. Here, you can have it back." He gives them the truck. + +"Thank you, Sam. But next time, ask us first. It's not nice to take our toys." Ben says. + +"Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Lily. I won't do it again. Can I play with you?" Sam says. + +Ben and Lily look at each other. They like their brother, but they also like their truck. They think for a moment. Then they say: "OK, Sam. You can play with us. But be careful with the motor. It's loud and fast." + +"OK, OK, I will. Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are good twins." Sam says. + +They all go to their room and play with the truck. They make the motor go vroom vroom and drive the truck around the floor. They have fun together. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to taste new things. One day, they saw a big cake on the table. It had white cream and red berries on top. It looked very yummy. + +"Let's taste the cake," said Anna. "It is for us, right?" + +"I don't know," said Ben. "Mom said we have to wait for her. Maybe it is for someone else." + +Anna did not listen to Ben. She climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. She took a big bite from the tip. It was sweet and soft in her mouth. + +"Mmm, this is the best cake ever!" she said. "You have to try it, Ben!" + +Ben was curious, but he was also scared. He knew Mom would be angry if they ate the cake without asking. He shook his head. + +"No, thank you," he said. "I will wait for Mom. She will tell us if we can have some." + +Anna did not care. She ate more and more of the cake. She did not notice that the cream was making her face dirty. She did not notice that the berries were staining her dress. She did not notice that Mom was coming back. + +Mom saw the cake and Anna. She was very upset. She had made the cake for Grandma, who was coming to visit. Grandma loved white cream and red berries. Mom wanted to surprise her with a charming cake. + +"Anna, what have you done?" she said. "This cake was for Grandma, not for you! You have ruined it! And look at your face and your dress! They are a mess!" + +Anna felt bad. She had been greedy and naughty. She had hurt Mom and Grandma. She wished she had listened to Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," she said. "I was hungry and the cake looked good. I did not know it was for Grandma. I'm sorry, Ben. You were right. I should have waited for Mom." + +Mom sighed. She was angry, but she also loved Anna. She knew Anna was young and did not mean to be bad. She hugged her and wiped her face. + +"It's okay, Anna," she said. "I forgive you. But you have to learn to be patient and polite. You have to ask before you take something that is not yours. You have to think of others, not just yourself. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded. She understood. She wanted to be a good girl. She wanted to make Mom and Grandma happy. + +"Can I say sorry to Grandma?" she asked. + +"Of course, you can," said Mom. "But first, let's clean up this mess. And then, let's make a new cake together. A cake for Grandma and for us. A cake that we can all taste and share." + +Anna smiled. She liked that idea. She helped Mom clean up the table and the chair. She helped Mom make a new cake. She put some cream and berries on it. She made it look charming. She was proud of her cake. + +When Grandma came, she saw the cake and Anna. She was very happy. She hugged them and thanked them. + +"What a lovely cake!" she said. "You are so sweet and thoughtful. Can I have a taste?" + +"Yes, Grandma," said Anna. "You can have a taste. And so can Ben and Mom and me. We made it for you and for us. We want to share it with you." + +They all tasted the cake. It was delicious. They all smiled and laughed. They all enjoyed the cake and each other. + +Anna learned a lesson. She learned that tasting is good, but sharing is better. She learned that being patient and polite is good, but being greedy and naughty is bad. She learned that making others happy is good, but making others sad is bad. + +She was glad she learned that lesson. She was glad she had a good Mom and a good Ben and a good Grandma. She was glad she had a good cake. She was a happy girl. +Anna loved ponies. She had a toy pony that she played with every day. She named her pony Star, because she had a white star on her forehead. Anna wished she could have a real pony, but her mom and dad said no. They said ponies were too big and too much work. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw a man with a big cart and some ponies. The man said he could give rides to children for some money. Anna ran to her mom and asked, "Mom, can I have a pony ride, please?" + +Her mom looked at the ponies and smiled. She said, "Okay, Anna, you can have a pony ride. But only one, and then we have to go home." + +Anna was so happy. She thanked her mom and ran to the man. The man helped her get on a brown pony with a black mane. He said, "This is Coco. He is very gentle and friendly. Hold on to his saddle and enjoy your ride." + +Anna felt Coco's warm fur and soft ears. She felt him move under her. She felt the wind in her hair. She felt like she was flying. She said, "Coco, you are the best pony ever. I love you." + +Coco liked Anna too. He felt her hug his neck and pat his side. He heard her sweet voice. He wanted to make her happy. He trotted around the park with her, following the man and the cart. + +But Coco was also restless. He wanted to run faster and go farther. He wanted to explore the park and see new things. He saw some flowers, some birds, some squirrels. He wanted to chase them and play with them. He forgot about the man and the cart. He forgot about Anna. + +He started to speed up and pull away from the man. He started to zigzag and jump. He started to neigh and snort. + +Anna was scared. She felt Coco go wild and crazy. She felt him shake and bounce. She felt him leave the path and go to the grass. She felt like she was falling. She said, "Coco, stop, please. I want to get off. I want my mom." + +The man saw Coco run away with Anna. He shouted, "Coco, come back. You are scaring the girl. You are being naughty." + +He ran after them with the cart and the other ponies. He tried to catch up with Coco and calm him down. He tried to save Anna and bring her back. + +Will he make it? Will Anna be okay? Will Coco learn his lesson? What do you think? +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But Mom says they have to be careful. She says they can not break anything or make a mess. + +One day, Ben and Sam find a big box of beef in the kitchen. They think it is funny to throw the beef at each other. They laugh and scream as they make a beef fight. They do not see Mom coming. + +Mom is very angry when she sees the beef on the floor, on the sofa, on the walls. She says, "What are you doing? This is not a toy. This is food. You are wasting it and making a big mess. You are very naughty boys." + +Ben and Sam are scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We did not mean to be naughty." + +Mom says, "Sorry is not enough. You have to clean up this mess. And you have to punish. You can not play with your toys for one week. And you can not have any dessert tonight. You have to learn to be careful and respectful." + +Ben and Sam are sad. They say, "Yes, Mom. We will clean up. We will punish. We will be careful and respectful. We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, boys. But you have to behave better. Now go and get a mop and a bucket. And hurry up. Dinner is almost ready." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and have fun. + +One day, Tom says to Lily, "I want to improve my snowman. I want to make it bigger and better. Do you want to help me?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, I want to help you. Improving is important. We can learn new things and have more fun." + +They work hard and find more snow. They roll big balls and stack them up. They find sticks and stones and a carrot. They make a face and arms and a hat for their snowman. + +They step back and look at their snowman. They smile and clap their hands. They are proud of their work. + +They say to each other, "We improved our snowman. It is bigger and better. We learned new things and had more fun. Winter is fun!" +Tom was a smart boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big box of cars, trains, planes and boats that he could make zoom and vroom on the floor. He also had a soft velvet bear that he hugged at night. He loved his toys very much and took good care of them. + +One day, his mom said they had to go to the store. She told Tom to put his toys away and get ready. Tom did not want to go. He wanted to play more. He was angry and naughty. He threw his toys on the floor and made a big mess. He did not listen to his mom. + +His mom was sad and mad. She said Tom had to go anyway. She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the door. Tom tried to get away. He kicked and screamed. He did not see the big rock on the path. He tripped and fell. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He cried and cried. + +His mom knelt down and hugged him. She said she was sorry and that she loved him. She said they would go back and clean up the toys. She said they would put a band-aid on his knee and his elbow. She said they would cuddle with the velvet bear. + +But it was too late. Tom's toys were gone. A big dog had come and taken them. He had chewed them and ripped them and buried them in the dirt. Tom's cars, trains, planes and boats were ruined. His velvet bear was torn and dirty. Tom had nothing to play with. He had nothing to hug. He was very sad. He wished he had been a good boy. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had his toys back. But he did not. The end. +Once upon a time there were two friends named Nana and Daisy. Nana was shy and Daisy was adventurous. One day Nana and Daisy decided to help with the house chores. Nana went to the dishwasher to fill it with the dishes. She was a bit scared and shy, but Daisy was right beside her. + +Daisy said, “Come on, Nana, you can do it! Just do it like I showed you!†+ +Nana was still timid but she said, “O-okay.†She started to fill the dishwasher with the dishes and it made her feel better knowing Daisy was with her. + +After they had finished, Nana was filled with pride. She smiled at Daisy and said, “Thank you! I was so shy but you encouraged me and now I can do it myself!†+ +Daisy smiled back, “You did great, Nana! Now let’s finish the rest of the chores!†+Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lucy. +Every day she would go to the office with her mom. +Today, Lucy was a bit anxious. + +Mom asked, "Why are you so anxious, Lucy?" +Lucy replied, "I'm a bit scared about something that might appear in the office!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, sweetheart. Nothing bad will appear in the office. It's only mom and dad, and they love you very much." + +Lucy felt a bit better and they walked into the office. To her surprise, a big balloon appeared in the room, with a big smiley face on it. + +"Wow! What is this?" shouted Lucy. +Mom replied, "It is a present for you! I love you very much and I wanted to give you something special today." + +Lucy smiled and hugged her mom tight. The anxious feeling was gone and she was happy that nothing bad appeared in the office. +There was a dog named Spot. He lived with a family that owned him. They loved him very much and gave him lots of attention. He had a happy home. + +Spot also had a leash. It was comfortable and fit perfectly. Without it, Spot was not allowed to go outside. The family always put the leash on Spot before they went for walks. + +Every day, Spot and his family would go for walks together. Spot loved going outside with his family. He liked the fresh air and exploring the outside world. He never wanted the walks to end. + +Spot was happy with his family and his comfortable leash. He liked to be owned by his family and he liked going for walks with them. Spot truly enjoyed his life! +One day, a little girl woke up and went to the door. She opened the door and saw a giant, sweet cookie. She was so excited and wanted to eat it right away. She grabbed it and was about to take a bite when she heard a voice coming from outside the door. It was a friendly old lady, who smiled at the little girl. The old lady kindly said, "You can't eat the cookie before you share it with me.†+ +The little girl was a bit sad, but she knew that it was the right thing to do. She agreed to share the cookie and soon the two of them were happily eating and enjoying it together. Even though the girl was only three, she learned an important lesson that day! +Little Sally was fishing in the pond at the park. She threw the fishing line into the water and waited. Suddenly she felt a tug at the line. She smiled and started to pull, but she was too excited. All of a sudden, the line went limp. She had pulled too hard and the fish had come off. Sally was devastated. + +She started to cry, so her Mom came over. +Sally said "I pulled too hard and the fish, it came off." +Her Mom said "Don't worry, Sally. That happens sometimes when you fish. It's not your fault. Let's try again." + +Sally was happy, so she threw the line back into the water. She waited patiently, but when she felt the tug she pulled too quickly again. With a loud snap, the line broke. + +Sally started to cry. Her Mom said "That's it, Sally. That's enough fishing for today. We need to be honest to the fish and let them live in peace." + +Little Sally was sad as she walked away, but she had learned a valuable lesson. She could now be honest and careful when fishing. +Once there was a clumsy bear named Bob. One day he went to an operation. As he nervously waited for the procedure to begin, Bob heard the doctor tell him to use his mind. He thought for a moment and suddenly realized it was time to use his mind! + +Bob closed his eyes and concentrated really hard. But he was clumsy and it didn’t help. Suddenly the doctor exclaimed, “Oh no! He didn’t use his mind correctly! We’ll have to start the operation all over again.†+ +Bob looked sadly at the doctor. He was so embarrassed that he had made a mistake. He thought, “Maybe I just can’t do this.†+ +The doctor tried again and finally the operation was complete. But it wasn’t the same as it was before. Because of Bob’s mistake, the operation didn’t work out the way it should have. The bad ending had happened and Bob was sad. +Once there was a mom and her little girl. She was very careful and always followed instructions. One day, the mom set the pizza on the table. She said to her daughter, "Let's be careful and not touch the hot pizza." The little girl nodded and smiled. + +The daughter was so excited. She asked her mom, "Can I have a slice?" + +The mom smiled. She said, "Yes, but you must be careful. Take one slice and sit at the table." The daughter nodded and grabbed a slice of pizza. + +Her mom watched with a smile, making sure she was careful and didn't touch the hot pizza. But when the daughter bit into her pizza, she made a big mess. + +The mom laughed and said, "I guess you had to be a bit more careful!" +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lola. She was shy and she liked to jog in the park. One day, she saw something in the park she had never seen before; there were lots of vegetables! She was very excited and she ran to the vegetables to take a closer look. + +When she got there, she became a bit shy. She didn't want to look away from the vegetables. Suddenly, she heard someone speak to her. + +"Why don't you pick one?" The person said. + +Lola looked around and saw a strange old woman being very friendly. She picked one of the vegetables and smiled.The old woman said, "Don't forget to jog!" + +Lola waved goodbye and jogged away with the vegetable in her hand. Suddenly she heard the old woman's voice again, this time it was a bit different. She said, "You will never be able to jog again." + +Lola was so shocked that she couldn't move.

Can I have it?" + +His mom replied, "Oh, it's so pretty! Let's get a closer look." + +John and his mom spent some time with the duck. John gave it some bread and was very gentle. Then the duck waddled away. + +John said goodbye to the duck, feeling both happy and sad. His mom said, "We're lucky to have discovered such a special duck. We should come back here more often." + +John smiled and nodded in agreement. They turned and continued walking down the regular path. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved pink. Every day, she would go outside and pick bright pink flowers to put in a vase. One day, while she was picking these flowers, she heard a loud noise. + +She looked around and saw a man with scissors cutting some pink paper. The girl thought the paper looked so pretty that she asked the man if she could have some to put in her vase. The man was so happy that the little girl liked his paper that he gave her some sheets. + +The little girl thanked the man and took the paper home. She cut it into small pieces and put it around the flowers. It looked so pretty that when the little girl looked at it, she smiled! +One day, there were two best friends, a boy and a girl. They went outside to play in the park. Suddenly, the girl saw a butterfly and exclaimed, "It looks so pretty!" + +The boy replied, "Let's try to catch it!" +He ran after it, but the butterfly quickly escaped.

They both began to pick the prettiest ones and made a bouquet for the girl. + +The girl was very happy and thanked the boy for being thoughtful.

He told Bob to look out for a special place. + +Bob looked out of the window and noticed an ordinary house. He asked his Dad â€What is that house?†+ +His Dad said â€That’s a special house, we tie the car to it when we park.†+ +Bob was excited and got out with his Dad. They tied the car to the house and Bob said â€Look Dad, I tied the car!†+ +His Dad said â€Yes, you did a great job, Bob. Now let’s go and explore!†+ +Bob was so happy, he helped his Dad and now they were free to explore the special place. +The sun was shining brightly in the sky and the birds were singing from the trees. Joe was walking through the town with his little sisterJane. As they walked along, Joe noticed a sad man standing in the street.

Why don’t we take a look at the goods I have for sale?†+ +The man held out his empty hand. Joe felt sure he had nothing to sell. But he said nothing, and Jane leaned forward to take a closer look. + +The man then moved his left hand to reveal something he had been hiding. There was a shiny coin in his palm. Joe could not believe it! Where had the man gotten it? + +The man explained, “I used to be very poor. But I made a promise to make something of myself, and now I can call this mine.†+ +Joe and Jane were both amazed by the man’s story. It had a happy ending, something they both would always remember! +One day, a little boy went out to a meadow to play with butterflies. He saw a big, heavy flower in the middle of the meadow, and he ran up to it. The flower looked so beautiful that the boy wanted to smell it. But as he got closer, he heard a quiet voice coming from the flower. + +“I suffer,†the flower said. + +The little boy was so shocked to hear the flower talking. He asked the flower, “Why do you suffer so much?†+ +The flower answered, “A mean butterfly tickles me every day and I can't escape!†+ +The little boy wanted to help the flower, but he didn't know what to do. He searched in his pockets until he found an old, yellow plastic bracelet. He offered it to the flower, and said, “Why don't you wear this bracelet? Then the butterfly won't be able to tickle you.†+ +The flower was very happy and it thanked the boy for the gift. From then on, the little boy visited the flower every day, and the flower was no longer suffering. +Once upon a time in a special town, there lived a little girl named Jane.

There is a mild urge coming from the lake, so we are all going to go see it." + +Ben thought this sounded like a lot of fun, so he decided to get in line too. He walked slowly, feeling excited and happy. As they got closer to the lake, the animals heard a loud noise. + +It was a big rhinoceros, who was very angry that the animals were trying to go to the lake. He wanted them to stay away. He was very fierce and loud and he threatened to hurt the animals if they didn't leave. + +The little animals were scared, but Ben had an idea. He stepped up to the rhinoceros and said, "We'll just take it slow and be very careful if we go to the lake. We just have a mild urge to check it out, and then we'll leave." + +The rhinoceros thought about it and agreed. He let the animals go to the lake, and even gave them a ride there.

She said, "It's too busy for us to get a grill right now. We can talk about it again later." + +The daughter didn't want to accept this answer. She kept on shouting and said, "No! I want a grill now!" The mom was getting frustrated and didn't know what to do. She was about to shout back but then decided to take a deep breath and think of a better way to handle the situation. + +She finally said, "If you're still calm and polite, then we can talk about getting a grill again in a few days. What do you think?" The toddler looked back at her mom and smiled. She said, "Okay, I will be calm and polite and wait to get a grill. "The mom was relieved and both of them hugged each other tightly. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved toast. Every morning, he would have a piece for breakfast. His favorite part was getting to find the hidden pieces of butter stuck in between the slices. + +One day, the boy heard about a hidden piece of toast that was even better than any he'd ever tasted before.

They were amazed! Maria had designed a beautiful, colourful painting. Everyone clapped and cheered for Maria's slow, but remarkable design. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a frog called Harry. One day, he went for a walk in the deep forest and got an itchy feeling all over! + +He asked a nearby deer, ‘Why do I feel so itchy?’ + +The deer replied, ‘That’s because you have become too greedy. Greed causes many problems.’ + +Harry understood the lesson and as he thought about it, he felt better. + +He told the deer, ‘I will be careful and try not to be too greedy in future.’ + +The deer replied, ‘That’s right!
