Tim says. + +"Yes, Tim, they are. They look like stars!" Jen says. + +They hear a beep from the kitchen. Mom says it is time for lunch. They put the spoons and forks back in the drawer and wash their hands. They run to the table and see what Mom has made. + +"Wow, Mom, what is this?" Tim asks. + +"It is a rare treat, Tim. It is ice cream cake. I made it in the freezer. Do you want some?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, please, Mom. We love ice cream cake!" Jen says. + +They get a big slice of ice cream cake and eat it with their shiny spoons. They say it is delicious and thank Mom. They are happy and full.

She wanted to sleep, but she was not in her bed. She was in the kitchen with Mommy and Daddy. They were making dinner. + +"Lily, do you want to help us?" Mommy asked. She gave Lily a spoon and a bowl. "You can stir the soup." + +Lily tried to stir the soup, but she was too sleepy. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. The spoon fell from her hand and made a loud noise. + +"Oops!" Lily said. "Sorry, Mommy." + +"It's okay, sweetie," Mommy said. She picked up the spoon and wiped it with a dry cloth. "Are you sleepy?" + +"Yes, Mommy," Lily said. "Can I go to bed?" + +"Of course, honey," Daddy said. He lifted Lily in his arms and carried her to her room. "You had a busy day. You need to rest." + +He put Lily in her bed and tucked her in. He kissed her forehead and turned on the night light. + +"Good night, Lily," he said. "I love you." + +"I love you too, Daddy," Lily said. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of her toys and her dog. She was happy. +Jill and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big red truck. It was shiny and loud. They wanted to see it up close. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom said. "It is so attractive. I want to touch it." + +"Me too," Jill said. "But we have to be careful. It might be hot." + +They ran to the truck and looked at it. It had big wheels and a long hose. They saw a man in a yellow hat. He was a firefighter. He smiled at them. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "Do you like my truck?" + +"Yes, we do," Tom said. "It is the most attractive truck we ever saw." + +"Thank you," the firefighter said. "Do you want to see inside?" + +"Yes, please," Jill said. + +The firefighter opened the door and let them in. They saw many buttons and levers. They saw a radio and a siren. They saw a helmet and a coat. + +"This is where I sit and drive," the firefighter said. "And this is where I talk to other firefighters. And this is where I turn on the siren and the lights." + +He turned on the siren and the lights. They made a loud noise and flashed. Jill and Tom laughed. They liked the siren and the lights. + +The firefighter turned them off. He said, "Do you want to try on the helmet and the coat?" + +"Yes, please," Tom said. + +The firefighter gave them the helmet and the coat. They were big and heavy. Tom put on the helmet and Jill put on the coat. They looked at each other. They looked funny. They giggled. + +The firefighter said, "You look like little firefighters. Do you want to be firefighters when you grow up?" + +"Maybe," Jill said. "But it must be hard work." + +"It is," the firefighter said. "But it is also fun and important. I help people and animals when there is a fire. I put out the fire and make them safe." + +"That is very nice of you," Tom said. "You are a hero." + +The firefighter smiled. He said, "Thank you. You are very sweet. But now I have to go. There might be another fire somewhere. Do you want to say goodbye to the truck?" + +"Yes, please," Jill said. + +They got out of the truck and hugged it. They said, "Goodbye, truck. Thank you for letting us see you. You are very attractive and cool." + +The truck honked. It said, "You are welcome, kids. You are very cute and brave." + +The firefighter got in the truck and waved. He said, "Goodbye, kids. Have a nice day. And remember, stay away from fire and smoke. They are very hot and bad." + +"Goodbye, firefighter," Jill and Tom said. "Have a nice day. And thank you for being a hero." + +The truck drove away. Jill and Tom watched it go. They felt happy and tired. They yawned. They said, "That was fun. But now we are sleepy. Let's go home and take a nap." + +They held hands and walked home. They yawned again. They said, "We had a great adventure. We saw an attractive truck and met a firefighter. Maybe we will dream about them." + +They went home and took a nap. They dreamed about the truck and the firefighter. They smiled in their sleep. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They found many shells of different colors and shapes. Some were big and some were small. Some were smooth and some were bumpy. + +"Look, Ben, I found a pretty shell!" Anna said, holding up a shiny pink shell. "It has a swirl on it, like a snail." + +"Wow, that is a pretty shell, Anna!" Ben said. "Can I see it?" + +Anna gave the shell to Ben. He looked at it closely. He saw something move inside the shell. He gasped. + +"Anna, there is something in the shell!" Ben said. "It is alive!" + +Anna looked at the shell. She saw a tiny snail poke its head out of the shell. It had two eyes on stalks and a slimy body. + +"Hello, little snail!" Anna said. "You are so cute! Can we keep you?" + +The snail did not answer. It hid inside the shell again. + +"I don't think the snail likes us, Anna," Ben said. "Maybe it is scared. Maybe it wants to rest in its home." + +Anna nodded. She felt sorry for the snail. She did not want to make it unhappy. + +"OK, Ben, let's put the shell back where we found it," Anna said. "Maybe the snail will come out again when we are gone." + +Anna and Ben gently placed the shell on the sand. They waved goodbye to the snail. They hoped it would be happy and safe in its pretty shell. They went to look for more shells, but they did not take any more home. They learned to respect the snail's home. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, it rains a lot. The water fills the streets and the park. It is a flood. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They run to their homes. But Tom's home is near the park. The water is inside his home. He cries. + +Sue's home is on a hill. The water does not reach her home. She is safe. But she thinks of Tom. She wants to help him. + +She calls her mom. She says, "Mom, can we go to Tom's home? He is in the flood. He is sad." + +Her mom says, "Yes, we can go. But we have to be careful. The water is dangerous. We have to take the car." + +They get in the car. They drive to Tom's home. They see Tom and his mom outside. They are wet and cold. + +Sue runs to Tom. She hugs him. She says, "Tom, I am here. I am your friend. I will comfort you." + +Tom stops crying. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sue. You are a good friend. You make me happy." + +Sue's mom gives Tom and his mom some blankets and some food. She says, "You can come to our home. You can stay with us until the water goes away." + +Tom and his mom say, "Thank you, Sue's mom. You are very kind. You help us a lot." + +They all go to Sue's home. They are warm and dry. They are happy. They are friends. + +The moral of the story is: Friends comfort each other in times of trouble. Friends share what they have. Friends are better than regular things. +Jill and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a shiny copper coin on the ground. They both wanted it, so they ran to pick it up. But they got there at the same time, and each grabbed one side of the coin. + +"Mine!" Jill said. + +"No, mine!" Tom said. + +They pulled and tugged, but the coin did not move. They stared at each other, angry and stubborn. They did not notice the big dog that was watching them from behind a tree. The dog liked shiny things, and he wanted the coin too. He was persistent, and he waited for his chance. + +Suddenly, the dog barked and jumped out of the tree. He ran towards Jill and Tom, who were still holding the coin. They were scared and let go of the coin. The dog snatched it in his mouth and ran away. + +"Hey, come back!" Jill and Tom shouted. They chased the dog, but he was too fast. They lost sight of him and the coin. + +They stopped and looked at each other. They felt silly and sorry. They hugged and said, "I'm sorry. Let's share next time." + +They walked back to the park, holding hands. They learned a lesson that day: it is better to share than to fight. And to watch out for dogs that like shiny things. +Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar of pepper on the shelf. They wanted to try it, but they knew Mom would be angry if they made a mess. + +"Let's whisper, so Mom won't hear us," Lily said. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. + +"Be careful, Lily," Max said. He stood on his toes and watched her. + +Lily opened the jar and smelled the pepper. It made her sneeze. "Achoo!" + +Max giggled. He wanted to smell it too. He took the jar from Lily and put it near his nose. He sneezed too. "Achoo!" + +The pepper flew out of the jar and covered their faces and clothes. They looked like snowmen. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily and Max and the pepper everywhere. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing, you silly kids?" she asked. "Pepper is not for playing. It is for cooking. It is tough and spicy. It can hurt your eyes and nose." + +Lily and Max felt sorry. They said sorry to Mom. They helped her clean the kitchen. They learned their lesson. They never played with pepper again. +Sara liked to write in her diary every day. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams and her feelings. She had a pink diary with a lock and a key. She kept it under her pillow. + +One day, her brother Tom found her diary. He was bored and curious. He took the key and opened the diary. He read some of the pages and laughed. He saw that Sara wrote that she liked Ben, a boy in her class. He also saw that Sara wrote that she was frustrated with Tom for breaking her doll. + +Tom decided to play a prank on Sara. He wrote in her diary with a big marker. He wrote "Sara loves Ben" and "Tom is the best" and "Sara is a baby". He also drew some silly pictures. He closed the diary and put it back under the pillow. + +When Sara came back from school, she wanted to write in her diary. She took it out and saw the marker. She opened it and saw what Tom wrote. She was very angry and sad. She ran to Tom and shouted. + +"Tom, you are mean! You ruined my diary! How could you do this?" + +Tom smirked and said, "I was just having fun. Don't be so mad. It's just a diary. You should thank me for making it more interesting." + +Sara felt like crying. She threw the diary at Tom and ran to her room. She slammed the door and sobbed. She wished she had a nicer brother. She wished she had a new diary. She wished Tom would say sorry. But he didn't. He just laughed and played with his toys. Sara felt very lonely and hurt. She didn't want to talk to Tom ever again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is hairy and brown. He has a long tail and big ears. + +"Wow, look at that dog!" Sara says. "He is so hairy and cute. I admire him. I wish I had a dog like him." + +"Me too," Tom says. "He looks like a lot of fun. Maybe we can pet him. Do you think he is friendly?" + +Sara and Tom walk slowly to the dog. They hold out their hands. The dog wags his tail and sniffs them. He licks their faces. Sara and Tom giggle. + +"Hello, doggy," Sara says. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks. He seems happy. He rolls on the grass. Sara and Tom join him. They scratch his belly and ears. The dog makes funny noises. + +A man comes to the park. He has a leash in his hand. He calls the dog. + +"Rover, come here, boy. It's time to go home." + +The dog hears the man. He jumps up and runs to him. He looks back at Sara and Tom. He barks again. + +"Bye, Rover," Sara and Tom say. "We hope to see you again. You are a good dog." + +The man smiles. He waves at Sara and Tom. + +"Bye, kids. Thanks for playing with Rover. He likes you. Maybe we can come back another day." + +Sara and Tom wave back. They watch the man and the dog leave. They feel happy and sad. + +They still wish they had a dog like Rover. But they are glad they made a new friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There are many toys and swings in the park. + +Lily sees a big red ball. She runs to get it. But Ben sees it too. He runs faster and gets it first. He holds the ball and smiles. + +"Ben, can I play with the ball too?" Lily asks. She feels sad. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes the ball. But he likes Lily more. He decides to be honest and share. + +"Okay, Lily. We can play with the ball together. You can have it first." Ben says. He gives the ball to Lily. + +Lily is happy. She hugs Ben and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I will give it back to you soon." + +They take turns to play with the ball. They have fun. Their moms watch them and smile. They are proud of their honest and kind children. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. One day, they saw a big box in the hall. It had a sticker that said "Happy Birthday, Mom". They wondered what was inside. + +They opened the box and found a lot of things. There were clothes, shoes, a bag, and a book. But there was also something weird. It was a candle, but it was not like any candle they had seen before. It was long and thin and had many colors. It also had a button on the side. + +Lily and Ben were curious. They took the candle and went to their room. They put it on the table and pressed the button. Suddenly, the candle started to sing and dance. It sang a funny song about ordering pizza and cake. It also moved its arms and legs and spun around. + +Lily and Ben laughed and clapped. They thought the candle was very fun and cool. They joined the song and danced with the candle. They did not hear Mom coming up the stairs. + +Mom opened the door and saw the mess. She saw the box, the clothes, the shoes, the bag, and the book. She also saw the candle, the twins, and the song. She was very surprised and angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "This is my birthday present. You should not open it. And what is that candle? It is very weird." + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at Mom. They felt sorry and scared. They did not know the candle was for Mom. They did not know it was weird. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they said. "We just wanted to see what was inside. We did not mean to make a mess. We like the candle. It is very fun and cool. It sings and dances. Do you want to order pizza and cake?" + +Mom sighed and smiled. She was not angry anymore. She hugged the twins and kissed them. She said, "It is okay. I forgive you. You are very sweet and cute. I like the candle too. It is very fun and cool. But it is also a special candle. It is a magic candle. It can make wishes come true. Do you want to make a wish?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, we do. We wish for pizza and cake. And we wish for a happy birthday for you, Mom." + +Mom said, "That is a very nice wish. Thank you, my loves. Let's blow the candle together and see what happens." + +They blew the candle and waited. Then they heard a knock on the door. It was the pizza man. He had a big box of pizza and a cake. He said, "Someone ordered pizza and cake for a birthday. Is this the right address?" + +Mom, Lily, and Ben looked at each other and laughed. They said, "Yes, it is. Thank you, magic candle. Thank you, pizza man. Come in and join us. We have a party to celebrate." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were superheroes. Lily had a red cape and Ben had a blue mask. They ran and jumped and saved the flowers from the bad bugs. + +But then they saw a big spider on the fence. It was black and hairy and had eight legs. Lily and Ben were scared. They did not like spiders. They wanted to run away. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "There is a big spider!" + +Mum heard them and came outside. She saw the spider and smiled. She was not scared. She knew the spider was not bad. + +"Don't worry, my superheroes," she said. "The spider is just looking for a place to make its web. It won't hurt you. Do you want to see how it wraps its silk?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were curious. They followed Mum to the fence. They watched the spider spin and wrap its silk around the fence. It made a beautiful web that sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow!" Lily and Ben said. "The spider is amazing!" + +They felt sorry for being scared. They decided to be friends with the spider. They gave it a name: Webby. They said hello to Webby every day. They learned that spiders were not helpless. They were clever and strong. Just like superheroes. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a cone on top. The truck was selling ice cream. Lily and Tom ran to the truck and asked for ice cream. + +"Can I have a cone with chocolate ice cream, please?" Lily said. + +"Can I have a cone with vanilla ice cream, please?" Tom said. + +The truck man gave them their cones and smiled. "Here you go, kids. Enjoy your ice cream. But don't let it melt or it will rot." + +Lily and Tom thanked the truck man and went to a bench. They licked their ice cream and talked. + +"This ice cream is yummy," Lily said. + +"This ice cream is cold," Tom said. + +They saw a dog running in the grass. The dog was lively and happy. It barked and wagged its tail. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily said. + +"Let's go and pet it!" Tom said. + +They put their cones on the bench and ran to the dog. The dog licked their faces and played with them. They forgot about their ice cream. + +After a while, they remembered their cones and went back to the bench. But their ice cream was gone. There were only empty cones and a mess on the bench. + +"What happened to our ice cream?" Lily said. + +"Maybe a bird ate it," Tom said. + +They looked around and saw a big crow on a tree. The crow had chocolate and vanilla on its beak. It cawed and flew away. + +"That naughty crow stole our ice cream!" Lily said. + +"It must have a tummy ache now," Tom said. + +They felt sad and angry. They threw their cones in the trash and went home. They learned a lesson. Never leave your ice cream unattended or it will rot or be stolen. +Lily loved to play basketball with her big brother Sam. He taught her how to bounce the ball, how to throw it, and how to catch it. Sometimes they played in the park, and sometimes they played in the backyard. + +One day, it was very hot and sunny. Lily and Sam wanted to cool off, so they filled a big bucket with water and put some ice cubes in it. They took turns splashing each other with the water, and laughing. They also splashed the basketball, to make it wet and slippery. + +But they did not know that the basketball was delicate. It was not made for water, only for air. The water soaked into the basketball, and made it soft and heavy. It did not bounce anymore, and it did not fly anymore. It just dropped to the ground, and made a sad sound. + +Lily and Sam were very sorry. They did not mean to ruin the basketball. They tried to dry it with a towel, but it did not help. They decided to tell their mom what happened, and ask her to buy them a new basketball. They hoped she would not be mad, and they learned to be careful with their toys. +Lily liked to play with her mom's matches. She thought they were shiny and pretty. She liked to see them make fire and smoke. She did not know they were dangerous. + +One day, when her mom was busy, Lily took some matches from the drawer. She wanted to make fire in the kitchen. She saw the big refrigerator and thought it would be a good place. She opened the door and saw many things inside. She saw eggs, cheese, milk, and juice. She also saw a cake with candles on it. She thought it was for her birthday. + +Lily was happy. She took the cake out of the refrigerator and put it on the table. She lit a match and tried to light the candles. But the match was too big and the fire was too hot. The cake caught fire and the fire spread to the tablecloth. Lily was scared. She dropped the match and ran away. + +The fire alarm went off and the smoke filled the kitchen. Lily's mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw the fire and the cake and the matches. She was angry and sad. She grabbed Lily and took her outside. She called the firemen to put out the fire. + +Lily cried and said she was sorry. She did not mean to make a fire. She just wanted to see the cake. She thought it was impressive. But her mom did not hug her or forgive her. She said Lily was naughty and careless. She said Lily could not have the cake or any presents. She said Lily had to go to her room and stay there. Lily felt bad. She wished she had never played with the matches. +Lily and Ben were twins, but they were very different. Lily liked to play with dolls and draw pictures. Ben liked to play with cars and build towers. One day, their mom gave them a big surprise. She took them to the snow park, where they could see snow for the first time. + +"Wow, look at all the white!" Lily said, as she ran to touch the snow. "It's so cold and soft!" + +"Vroom, vroom, I want to slide on the snow!" Ben said, as he grabbed a sled. "It's so fast and fun!" + +Lily and Ben had a great time at the snow park. They made snowmen, snow angels, and snowballs. They also went on a journey on a train that went around the park. They saw penguins, polar bears, and snowflakes. + +But soon, the sun came out and the snow started to melt. Lily and Ben noticed that their snowmen were getting smaller and smaller. + +"Mom, what's happening to our snowmen?" Lily asked, with a sad voice. + +"They're melting, honey. That's what happens when snow gets warm. It turns into water," Mom explained. + +"But I don't want them to melt! I want them to stay with us!" Ben cried, as he hugged his snowman. + +"I know, sweetie. But we can't keep them. They belong to the snow park. We have to say goodbye to them and go home," Mom said, as she hugged Ben and Lily. + +Lily and Ben looked at their snowmen and said goodbye. They thanked them for being their friends and making them happy. They also took a picture of them, so they could remember them. + +As they walked to the car, Lily and Ben realized that they had something in common. They both loved the snow and the snowmen. They smiled at each other and held hands. + +"Ben, I'm sorry I said you were different. You're my brother and I love you," Lily said. + +"Lily, I'm sorry I said you were different. You're my sister and I love you," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "You see, kids, you can be different and still love each other. That's what makes you special. And you know what? The snowmen may have melted, but they're still with us. They're in our hearts and in our memories." + +The end. +Anna and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys and books on the floor. Anna likes to make a train with the blocks. Ben likes to read the book with the animals. + +"Look, Anna, this is a lion. He is big and loud. Roar!" Ben says, holding the book. + +"I see, Ben, he is very scary. But I like the train. Choo choo!" Anna says, moving the blocks. + +They play for a long time, until their mom calls them for dinner. + +"Anna, Ben, time to eat. Come to the kitchen, please," mom says. + +Anna and Ben leave their toys and books on the floor and follow mom to the kitchen. They are hungry and happy. + +But when they finish eating, they are also very tired. Mom tells them to brush their teeth and go to bed. + +"Can we read a story, mom?" Ben asks. + +"Of course, sweetie. But first, you have to pick up your toys and books from the floor. They are making a mess," mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod and go back to the living room. They put their toys and books in the boxes and shelves. They are good children. + +Then they follow mom to their bedroom. Mom reads them a story about a lion and a train. They listen and smile. + +Soon, they fall asleep, dreaming of big and loud animals and fast and fun trains. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their cart. They filled it with toys and books and pushed it around the yard. One day, they wanted to go to the park with their cart, but their mom said they had to wait. + +"Mom, why can't we go now?" Lily asked. + +"Because we have to eat lunch first. You need to be healthy and strong," Mom said. + +"But we are not hungry. We want to play," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, but lunch is ready and it is yummy. You can go to the park after you eat. It won't take long." + +Lily and Ben were not happy. They thought lunch would delay their fun. They did not want to eat. They wanted to go to the park with their cart. They tried to sneak out with their cart, but Mom saw them. + +"Hey, where are you going?" Mom asked. + +"To the park," Lily said. + +"With our cart," Ben said. + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, you are not. You have to eat lunch first. Come back here." + +Lily and Ben sighed and came back. They put their cart in the corner and sat at the table. They ate their lunch, but they did not like it. They wanted to go to the park with their cart. + +After they finished, Mom said, "Good job. Now you can go to the park with your cart. Have fun, but be careful." + +Lily and Ben smiled and ran to their cart. They pushed it out of the door and down the street. They were happy to go to the park with their cart. They forgot about lunch and the delay. They only thought about playing. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to swim in the pond. They had a big yellow ball that they threw to each other in the water. One day, they saw a new ball on the shore. It was red and shiny and had stars on it. + +"Wow, look at that ball!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. Can we play with it?" + +Ben nodded. He ran to the shore and picked up the red ball. He threw it to Lily in the pond. She caught it and smiled. + +"This ball is fun!" she said. "Let's replace our old ball with this one." + +They left their yellow ball on the shore and played with the red ball for a long time. They did not see the boy who came looking for his ball. He saw the yellow ball and thought it was his. He took it and ran away. + +Lily and Ben did not notice until they were tired and wanted to go home. They swam to the shore and looked for their ball. But it was gone. + +"Where is our ball?" Lily asked. "Did someone take it?" + +Ben frowned. He saw the footprints of the boy and the marks of the yellow ball. He realized what happened. + +"I think we made a mistake," he said. "This red ball is not ours. It belongs to someone else. And he took our ball instead." + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They liked their yellow ball. It was their favorite toy. They wished they had not replaced it with the red ball. + +They decided to find the boy and ask for their ball back. They hoped he would be nice and give it to them. They wanted to be successful and get their ball back. They learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. +Tom and Ann are husband and wife. They like to play games. One day, they find an ancient toy gun in the attic. It is made of wood and metal. It looks like a real gun, but it cannot hurt anyone. + +"Let's play cowboys and robbers!" Tom says. He puts on a hat and a scarf. He takes the toy gun and points it at Ann. "Bang, bang, you are the robber and I am the cowboy. I shoot you and you fall down." + +Ann laughs and plays along. She puts on a mask and a bag. She pretends to steal some jewels from a box. "Ha, ha, you are the cowboy and I am the robber. I run away with the jewels and you chase me." + +They run around the attic, making noises and having fun. They hide behind old furniture and clothes. They jump and roll and duck. They shoot and miss and hit. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud knock on the door. It is their mom. She is angry. She does not like the noise. She does not like the mess. She does not like the toy gun. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. She sees the toy gun in Tom's hand. She takes it away. "This is not a toy. This is an ancient gun. It belongs to your grandpa. It is very old and very valuable. You could have broken it or hurt yourself. You are very naughty. Go to your room and think about what you did." + +Tom and Ann are sad. They did not know the gun was ancient. They did not mean to make mom angry. They just wanted to play. They say sorry to mom and go to their room. They hug each other and hope mom will forgive them. They still love each other. They are still husband and wife. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big fog. They could not see the trees or the swings. They were scared. + +"Where are we?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Let's hold hands and walk slowly." + +They walked and walked, but they did not find the way out. They heard a loud noise. It was a car. It was coming fast. + +"Help!" Lily and Tom shouted. + +The car stopped. The driver got out. He was angry. + +"What are you doing here?" he asked. "Don't you know this is a dangerous road?" + +Lily and Tom felt ashamed. They did not mean to be on the road. They were lost in the fog. + +"We are sorry," they said. "We were playing in the park, but we could not see anything. Can you help us?" + +The driver saw they were scared and sorry. He was not angry anymore. He was kind. + +"Of course I can help you," he said. "Come with me. I will take you back to the park. The fog will clear soon." + +He took them to his car. He drove them to the park.

And we like to pretend. Pretending is fun. Pretending is magic." + +They held the twig together. They pointed it at the sky. They said, "Sky, turn into a cake!" Nothing happened.

That is bad." + +Lily did not listen to Tom. She ran to the ball and picked it up. She said, "I don't care. I want the ball. It is mine now." + +Tom was sad. He said, "Lily, please give the ball back. It is not nice to steal. Someone will miss the ball. They will be sad too." + +But Lily did not give the ball back. She ran away with the ball.

"What is a temple?" + +"A temple is a place where people go to pray and thank God," Ben said. "My mom told me about it. She said there are many kinds of temples in the world." + +"Wow," Lila said. "It looks very nice. Can we go inside?" + +"I don't know, Lila," Ben said. "Maybe we should not. Maybe it is not for us." + +"Why not, Ben?" Lila said. "Maybe God wants us to see it. Maybe He has a gift for us." + +"Maybe, Lila," Ben said. "But we have to be humble. We have to be respectful. We have to ask first." + +"OK, Ben," Lila said. "How do we ask?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He remembered what his mom had taught him. He said, "We have to yield. We have to say, 'Please, God, can we see your temple?

They did not see that their mom was watching them from the kitchen. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" Mom said, walking into the living room. "That vase is not a toy. It is very fragile. You could break it and hurt yourselves." + +Lily and Tom stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they said together. "We were playing pirates and we thought the vase was a treasure." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "I understand, but you have to be careful with things that are not yours. Why don't you put the vase back where you found it and I will help you find some other treasures that are safe and fun to play with?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and agreed.

She has an idea. She takes off her jacket and gives it to Ben. + +"Here, you can have my jacket. It is warm and cozy. I do not need it. I have a sweater," Sara says. + +"Really? Are you sure?"

He did not want to lose her. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. You are a good friend. I forgive you. Can you forgive me too?" + +Anna smiled and nodded. She said, "Of course, Ben. I forgive you too. You are a good friend. Come on, let's go to the nurse and get a band-aid for your knee. Then we can play some more." + +Ben smiled and nodded. He said, "Okay, Anna. Thank you.

It had a blue bird inside. The bird looked sad and lonely. + +"Can we take the bird home, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, sweetie. Birds need a lot of care and attention. And we already have many pets," Mommy said. + +"But the bird is so pretty and quiet. It needs a friend," Ben said. + +Mommy thought for a while. She liked birds too, but she was nervous about having one more pet. She decided to ask the pet shop owner some questions. + +"Hello, how much is this birdcage?" Mommy asked. + +"Hello, this birdcage is fifty dollars. It comes with the bird, some food, and a toy," the pet shop owner said. + +"What kind of bird is it?" Mommy asked. + +"It's a parakeet.

He waited until Lily was not looking, and he ran to her ball. He grabbed it and ran away. He was very fast. Lily saw him and got angry. She shouted, "Tom, give me back my ball! That is mine!" + +Tom did not listen. He was stubborn. He kept running with the ball. He thought he was clever. He did not see the big rock in his way. He tripped over the rock and fell down. The ball flew out of his hands and rolled away. + +Lily saw what happened. She ran to Tom and helped him get up. She asked, "Are you okay, Tom? That was a bad fall." + +Tom was hurt. He had a scratch on his knee and a bump on his head. He felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not have stolen your ball. That was not nice." + +Lily was kind. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to share. Sharing is good. Do you want to play with my ball?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, please. And you can play with my net. Maybe we can catch some bugs together." + +Lily smiled. She said, "That sounds fun. Come on, let's go." + +They took their toys and went to the flower bed. They played nicely and had a lot of fun. They learned that stealing is bad, and sharing is good. They were happy. +Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play soccer. They had purple uniforms with white stars on them. They were very proud of their uniforms and always wore them to practice. + +One day, before practice, Mia and Leo saw a new girl on the field. She had a green uniform with yellow stripes on it. She looked sad and shy. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Mia asked the new girl. + +"I'm Lily," the new girl said in a small voice. + +"Do you want to play with us?" Leo asked. + +Lily nodded, but she looked at their purple uniforms and said, "But I don't have a purple uniform like you. I have a green one." + +Mia and Leo smiled and said, "That's okay. We don't care what color your uniform is. We care if you are nice and have fun. Come on, let's play!" + +Mia and Leo took Lily by the hand and ran to the field. They stretched their legs and arms and warmed up. Then they joined the other kids and played soccer. Lily had a lot of fun and made new friends. She forgot about her green uniform and felt happy. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge people by their appearance. Be kind and friendly to everyone. You can have fun and learn from people who are different from you. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they quarrel over who gets what toy. One day, their mom takes them to the mall. She wants to buy some clothes and shoes. + +At the mall, Lily and Ben see a big toy store. They run inside and look at all the toys. They see a big train set with many tracks and cars. They both want the train set. They grab it and pull it from each other. + +"Mine!" Lily shouts. + +"No, mine!" Ben shouts. + +They quarrel and tug and tug. The train set falls to the floor. It breaks into many pieces. The tracks are bent. The cars are cracked. The train set is broken. + +Lily and Ben stop and look at the broken train set. They feel sad and sorry. They look at each other. They say, "I'm sorry." + +Their mom comes and sees the broken train set. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Ben, you should not quarrel over toys. You should share and be nice to each other. Now you have to pay for the broken train set. And you have to say sorry to the toy store owner." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say sorry to the toy store owner. They give him some money from their piggy banks. They say sorry to their mom. They hug each other. They learn their lesson. They do not quarrel over toys anymore. They share and play together. They are happy. +Lily and Ben like to play with their toys in the living room. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. Sometimes they watch a show on the big screen, but not too much. Mommy says too much screen is bad for their eyes. + +One day, they are playing with their blocks when they hear a loud noise. It is raining hard outside. They run to the window and see the water falling from the sky. They see a flash of light and hear a boom. It is thunder and lightning. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. + +"I don't like it. It is scary," Lily says. + +They hug each other and look for Mommy. She is in the kitchen, making a snack. She hears them and comes to the living room. + +"What's wrong, my loves?" she asks. + +"It is raining and thundering and lightning. We are scared," Lily says. + +Mommy smiles and hugs them. She says, "Don't be scared. It is just a storm. It will go away soon. The rain is good for the plants and the animals. The thunder and lightning are just noise and light. They can't hurt you." + +She takes them to the couch and covers them with a blanket. She turns on the screen and puts on their favorite show. She says, "Here, watch this. It will make you feel better. You are safe and warm and fine. I love you." + +Lily and Ben relax and watch the show. They forget about the storm. They feel happy and cozy. They love Mommy. They say, "We love you too, Mommy. Thank you." +Lily liked to read. She read books, signs, labels, and anything with words. One day, she saw a big envelope on the table. It had her name on it. She was curious. + +She opened the envelope and found a letter inside. It was from her grandma. She read the letter out loud. + +"Dear Lily, I miss you very much. I hope you are having fun at home. I sent you a surprise. It is in the envelope. Can you find it? Love, Grandma." + +Lily looked inside the envelope again. She saw something shiny and round. It was a necklace. It had a heart pendant with her name on it. She was happy. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the letter and the necklace. "Look, mom, look! Grandma sent me a letter and a necklace. She loves me!" + +Mom smiled and hugged her. "That's very nice, Lily. Grandma is very thoughtful. Do you want to write her a letter back?" + +Lily nodded. "Yes, mom, yes! I want to say thank you and I love her too. Can you help me?" + +Mom nodded. "Of course, Lily. I can help you. You are very helpful too. You can read and write very well. I'm proud of you." + +They went to the desk and got some paper and a pen. They wrote a letter to grandma together. Lily drew a picture of her and grandma holding hands. She put the letter and the picture in a new envelope. She wrote grandma's name and address on it. + +"Can we mail it now, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. Let's go to the mailbox. Maybe we'll see the mailman. He is very helpful too. He delivers letters and packages to people." + +They put on their coats and shoes and went outside. They walked to the mailbox and put the envelope inside. They waved to the mailman who was driving by. He waved back and smiled. + +Lily felt happy. She had read a letter, written a letter, and worn a necklace. She had a loving grandma, a helpful mom, and a friendly mailman. She had a good day. +Tim and Jen are brother and sister. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They name him Bob. + +Mom calls them for lunch. She has made turkey sandwiches and hot chocolate. Tim and Jen run inside. They are hungry and cold. They leave Bob outside. + +After lunch, they want to play with Bob again. But when they go outside, they see something sad. Bob is not a big snowman anymore. He is a small pile of snow. The sun has melted him. His hat and scarf are on the ground. His carrot nose and coal eyes are gone. + +Tim and Jen are sad. They cry. They miss Bob. Mom comes outside. She hugs them. She says, "Don't be sad. Bob was a good snowman, but he was not reliable. He could not stay in the sun. But you know who is reliable? Turkey. Turkey is always good and tasty. And you know what? We have some turkey left. Do you want to make another sandwich?" + +Tim and Jen smile. They nod. They say, "Yes, please. We love turkey." They go inside with Mom. They make another sandwich. They eat it. They feel better. They say, "Bye, Bob. Thank you for the fun. Maybe we will see you again when it snows." +Lily and Sam went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish and shells and seaweed. + +One day, they saw something new in the water. It was round and clear and had long strings. Lily and Sam were curious. They asked Mom and Dad what it was. + +"That is a jellyfish," Mom said. "It is a kind of animal that lives in the water. But you should not touch it, because it can sting you and hurt you." + +Lily and Sam nodded. They wanted to be polite and not bother the jellyfish. They watched it from a distance, as it moved slowly in the water. + +But then, a big wave came and pushed the jellyfish closer to the shore. Lily and Sam did not see it, because they were busy making a sandcastle. The jellyfish landed on the sand, near their feet. + +"Look out!" Mom shouted. "There is a jellyfish near you! Run away!" + +Lily and Sam heard Mom and looked down. They saw the jellyfish on the sand, with its long strings. They were scared. They did not want to get stung. They ran away from the jellyfish, as fast as they could. + +Mom and Dad came and picked up the jellyfish with a stick. They threw it back into the water, where it belonged. They hugged Lily and Sam and checked them for stings. They were fine. + +"Are you okay?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we are okay," Lily and Sam said. "Thank you for saving us from the jellyfish." + +"You are welcome," Mom said. "We are glad you are okay. But remember, next time, be careful and stay away from the jellyfish. They are not nice to play with." + +Lily and Sam nodded. They learned their lesson. They went back to their sandcastle and played happily. They did not bother the jellyfish anymore. They were polite. +Lily liked to play the flute. She had a pink flute that made nice sounds. She played the flute every day with her mom and dad. They sang songs and had fun. + +One day, Lily's flute broke. She was very sad. She tried to blow the flute, but it only made a bad noise. She cried and cried. She wanted her flute back. + +She showed her flute to her mom. Her mom said, "Don't worry, Lily. I can fix your flute. It is not a big problem. You just need some tape and glue." She took the flute and went to the kitchen. + +Lily waited for her mom. She felt angry and bored. She saw her brother's toy car on the floor. She thought, "This is a stupid toy. It is not as good as my flute. I don't like it." She kicked the toy car hard. It flew across the room and hit the wall. It broke into pieces. + +Lily's brother saw what she did. He was very mad. He yelled, "Lily, you are a bad girl! You broke my toy car! You are so stupid!" He ran to Lily and pushed her. They started to fight. + +Their mom heard the noise. She came back with the flute. She saw the broken toy car and the fighting kids. She was very upset. She said, "Stop it, both of you! What are you doing? You are not nice to each other. You are not nice to your toys. You should be sorry and say sorry." + +Lily and her brother stopped fighting. They looked at their mom. They felt ashamed. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, brother. Sorry, sister." They hugged each other and their mom. + +Their mom gave Lily her flute. She said, "I fixed your flute, Lily. It is good as new. You can play it again. But you have to be careful with it. And you have to be kind to your brother and his toys. They are not stupid. They are special to him." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love my flute. I love my brother. I will be nice to him and his toys. I will not break them again." She played her flute. It made a nice sound. She sang a song with her mom and brother. They had fun. +Anna liked to read stories with her mom. She had many books with pictures and words. She liked stories about animals, princesses, and trucks. Sometimes, she made up her own stories too. + +One day, she found a big book in her dad's office. It had no pictures, only words. She wanted to read it, but the words were too hard. She asked her mom to help her. Her mom said, "This is a book for grown-ups. It is about history. History is what happened a long time ago." + +Anna was curious. She wanted to know what happened a long time ago. She opened the book and tried to read. She saw some words she knew, like "king" and "war" and "horse". But she did not understand the rest. She was frustrated. She said, "This is a boring story. I want a fun story." + +She had an idea. She turned the book upside down and started to read from the back. She said, "I will reverse the story. I will make it fun." She looked at the words and made up her own story. She said, "Once upon a time, there was a horse who was a king. He had a big war with a dragon. The dragon breathed fire and burned everything. The horse was brave and fought the dragon. He used his hooves and his teeth and his tail. He made the dragon run away. He saved his kingdom and his friends. He was a happy horse." + +She smiled and showed her mom. Her mom laughed and hugged her. She said, "You are very clever, Anna. You made your own story. But you know, history is not boring. It is also fun. It tells us about people and places and things that were different from now. Maybe when you are older, you will like to read history too." + +Anna nodded. She said, "Maybe. But for now, I like my story better. Can we read it again?" Her mom said, "Of course. But first, let's put the book back in dad's office. And let's find another book with pictures and words that you can read. How about a story about a mermaid?" + +Anna liked mermaids. She said, "Yes, please. Let's read a story about a mermaid. And maybe, I can reverse it too." She giggled and ran to her room. She loved stories. She loved to read and to make up stories. She was a happy girl. +Sam loves to play with his dog Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog with a white spot on his chest. Spot likes to run, jump, and fetch. Sam and Spot are best friends. + +One day, Sam and Spot go to the park with Sam's mom. The park has a lot of grass, trees, and flowers. Sam and Spot are very happy. They play catch with a ball, chase squirrels, and roll on the ground. Sam's mom watches them and smiles. + +Sam hears a loud noise. He looks up and sees a big truck. The truck is red and shiny. It has a ladder and a hose. Sam likes trucks. He wants to see the truck up close. He runs towards the truck. He forgets about Spot. + +Spot hears the loud noise too. He sees Sam running away. He does not like trucks. He is scared of trucks. He barks and whines. He wants Sam to come back. He runs after Sam. + +Sam's mom hears the loud noise and the barking. She sees Sam and Spot running towards the truck. She is worried. She yells, "Sam, Spot, stop!" She runs after them. + +The truck driver sees Sam and Spot running towards the truck. He is surprised. He honks the horn. He stops the truck. He gets out of the truck. + +Sam and Spot stop in front of the truck. They are very close to the truck. They see the truck driver. They are not scared anymore. They are curious. + +The truck driver is nice. He is a firefighter. He tells Sam and Spot that he is here to help. He shows them the truck. He lets them touch the ladder and the hose. He gives them a sticker and a hat. He tells them to be careful and to listen to their mom. + +Sam and Spot are very happy. They thank the truck driver. They are enthusiastic. They run back to Sam's mom. They show her the sticker and the hat. They tell her about the truck. They hug her. + +Sam's mom is relieved. She is proud of Sam and Spot. She tells them that they are brave and smart. She tells them that she loves them. She hugs them. + +Sam and Spot are best friends. They love to play. They love to learn. They love their mom. They love their life. +Lily was a tall girl who liked to examine things. She liked to look at bugs, flowers, rocks and books. She wanted to learn everything she could. But sometimes, her brother Max was not so nice to her. He liked to tease her and take her things. + +One day, Lily and Max were having lunch with their mom. Lily had a sandwich, a banana and a juice. Max had a pizza, an apple and a milk. Lily was examining her sandwich, trying to see what was inside. She saw cheese, ham, lettuce and mayonnaise. She thought it looked yummy. + +"Hey, Lily, what are you doing?" Max asked. He was bored with his pizza. He wanted to have some fun. + +"I'm examining my sandwich," Lily said. "It has many things in it. Do you want to see?" + +"No, I don't want to see your sandwich. I want to see your juice!" Max said. He reached over and grabbed Lily's juice. He opened it and poured some on Lily's sandwich. + +"Max, stop it!" Lily cried. "That's not nice! You ruined my sandwich!" + +"Ha ha, now your sandwich is wet and yucky!" Max laughed. He drank some of Lily's juice and made a face. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the table. She saw Lily's sandwich and Max's juice. She was not happy. + +"Max, what did you do?" Mom asked. "Why did you pour juice on Lily's sandwich?" + +"I was just having fun," Max said. He shrugged his shoulders. + +"That's not fun, that's mean," Mom said. "You owe Lily an apology. And you have to share your pizza with her. And you have to give her your apple. And you have to finish your milk." + +Max pouted. He did not want to do any of those things. He liked his pizza and his apple. He did not like his milk. He did not want to say sorry to Lily. + +But he knew he had no choice. Mom was serious. He looked at Lily. She was still sad. He felt a little sorry for her. + +"OK, OK, I'm sorry, Lily," Max said. "Here, you can have some of my pizza and my apple. And you can have the rest of your juice. But you have to promise not to examine it." + +Lily smiled. She forgave Max. She took some of his pizza and his apple. She thanked him. She also took her juice. She did not examine it. She drank it. It was still good. + +Mom smiled too. She was glad they made up. She gave them both a hug. She said they were both good kids. She said they could have some cookies after they finished their lunch. Lily and Max liked cookies. They ate their lunch happily. They decided to examine the cookies together. They wondered what was inside them. They hoped it was chocolate. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their toys. They had a truck, a doll, a ball and a teddy bear. They liked to share and take turns with their toys. + +But then a big boy came and took their teddy bear. He ran away with it and laughed. Ben and Mia were sad and angry. They wanted their teddy bear back. + +"Hey, that's our teddy bear!" Ben shouted. "Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine now!" the big boy said. "It's soft and cuddly. You can't have it!" + +Ben and Mia ran after the big boy. They saw a guard near the gate. He wore a blue uniform and a hat. He had a whistle and a badge. + +"Help us, please!" Mia said to the guard. "That boy stole our teddy bear!" + +The guard saw the big boy with the teddy bear. He blew his whistle and called him. + +"Stop right there, young man!" the guard said. "That's not your teddy bear. That's Ben and Mia's teddy bear. You have to give it back to them." + +The big boy was scared of the guard. He dropped the teddy bear and ran away. The guard picked up the teddy bear and gave it to Ben and Mia. + +"Here you go, kids," the guard said. "I'm sorry that boy took your teddy bear. He was very naughty. Are you okay?" + +Ben and Mia hugged the teddy bear. They thanked the guard for his help. They were happy to have their teddy bear back. + +"Thank you, Mr. Guard," Ben said. "You are very kind and brave. You restored our teddy bear to us." + +"Yes, thank you, Mr. Guard," Mia said. "You are very nice and smart. You made us feel better." + +The guard smiled and patted their heads. He told them to be careful and have fun. He walked away to do his job. + +Ben and Mia went back to their toys.

It had a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. Lily and Tom wanted to touch it. + +"Can we touch the snow figure?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is someone's figure. Maybe they will be angry if we touch it." Tom said. + +Lily and Tom looked around. They did not see anyone. They decided to touch the snow figure. They touched its hat, its scarf and its carrot nose. They felt cold and wet. + +Suddenly, they heard a voice. "Hey, what are you doing? That's my snowman!" + +Lily and Tom turned around. They saw a boy running towards them. He looked angry. He was the one who made the snow figure. + +Lily and Tom felt ashamed. They knew they did something wrong. They dropped the hat, the scarf and the carrot nose. + +"We are sorry.

He saw that it was still okay. He felt a little better. + +"It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, ask before you touch someone's figure. It is not nice to touch without asking." He said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned a lesson. They said thank you to the boy. They asked if they could play with him and his snowman. The boy said yes. They became friends. They played in the park until it was time to go home. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red truck on the street. It had a loud siren and a long hose. Lily and Ben wanted to see what the truck was doing, so they followed it. + +The truck stopped at a house that had smoke coming out of it. Some men in yellow suits got out of the truck and ran to the house. They used the hose to spray water on the fire. Lily and Ben watched from a safe distance. They thought the men were brave and the fire was scary. + +But one man was not happy. He was grumpy and shouted at Lily and Ben. He told them to go away and not follow the truck. He said it was dangerous and they could get hurt. Lily and Ben felt sad and scared. They did not mean to do anything wrong. They just wanted to see the truck. + +Lily and Ben ran back to their home. They told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and said they were not bad. She said the man was just worried and tired. She said the fire was very hot and the truck was very loud. She said they should not follow the truck, but they could watch it from their window. + +Lily and Ben nodded and said they were sorry. They went to their window and saw the truck leave. The fire was gone and the house was wet. They hoped the people who lived there were okay. They waved at the truck and said thank you. They were not grumpy anymore. They were happy and curious. They wondered what the truck would do next. +One day, a cat and a mouse were playing in a big house. The cat liked to chase the mouse, and the mouse liked to hide from the cat. They ran up and down the stairs, in and out of the rooms, and under and over the furniture. + +The mouse saw a hole in the wall. He thought it was a good place to hide. He ran into the hole and found himself in a dark and dirty place. It was the chimney! The mouse looked up and saw a small opening at the top. He thought he could climb up and see the sky. + +The cat saw the mouse go into the hole. He was curious and followed him. He squeezed into the hole and found himself in the chimney too. He looked up and saw the mouse climbing up. He wanted to catch him. He jumped and scratched at the mouse, but he was too far away. + +The mouse reached the top of the chimney. He saw the sky and the trees and the birds. He felt a wild wind blow on his face. He was happy and free. He said, "Bye bye, cat! I'm going to see the world!" + +The cat reached the top of the chimney too. He saw the mouse sitting on the edge. He was angry and hungry. He said, "Come back, mouse! You're my lunch!" + +The mouse laughed and said, "No, thank you! You're too slow and too fat!" He sprang from the chimney and flew in the air. He landed on a branch of a big tree. He waved at the cat and said, "See you later, maybe!" + +The cat was sad and mad. He could not spring from the chimney. He was stuck on the roof. He meowed and cried for help. He wished he had not followed the mouse. He learned a lesson: sometimes it is better to let go than to hold on. +Anna and her mom went to the market. They saw many things there. They saw fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and flowers. Anna liked the flowers. They were pretty and smelled good. + +"Mom, can I have a flower?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. You can choose one," her mom said. + +Anna looked at all the flowers. She saw red ones, yellow ones, pink ones, and purple ones. She did not know which one to pick. She wanted them all. + +She knelt down to touch the flowers. She felt their soft petals and their green stems. She smelled their sweet scent. She smiled. + +"Anna, do you like this one?" her mom asked. She held a blue flower in her hand. It had a yellow center and many little petals. + +Anna looked at the blue flower.

But he does not see the man who is walking on the street. He bumps into the man and they both fall down. + +"Ow!" Tom says. He feels pain in his knee. He looks at the man and sees that he is hurt too. The man has a cut on his face and blood on his shirt. Tom feels sorry for the man. He wants to help him. + +"Are you okay, mister?" Tom asks. He offers his ball to the man. "You can have my ball. It is very fun to play with. Maybe it will make you feel better." + +The man smiles at Tom. He takes the ball and thanks him. "You are very kind, little boy. But I don't need your ball. You can keep it. It is yours. I just need a band-aid for my face. And maybe a hug." + +Tom hugs the man. He feels happy that he made a new friend. He says, "I hope your face heals soon, mister. And I hope you have a good day. Bye-bye!" + +The man waves at Tom. He says, "Bye-bye, Tom.

They put on their helmets and shoes and ran outside. But their mom stopped them. + +"Wait, wait, wait!" she said. "You need to wear your jackets. It is cold today." + +Tom and Lily did not like their jackets. They were big and heavy and itchy. They wanted to feel the wind on their skin. They tried to resist. + +"No, mom, no!" they said. "We don't need jackets. We are not cold. We are hot. Please, let us go!" + +Mom shook her head. "Sorry, kids, but you have to wear them. It is for your own good. You don't want to get sick, do you?" + +Tom and Lily sighed. They knew mom was right, but they still did not want to wear their jackets. They looked at each other and had an idea. They nodded and smiled. + +"Okay, mom, okay," they said. "We will wear our jackets. But can we choose which ones?" + +Mom smiled too. She thought they were being reasonable. She said yes and opened the closet. Tom and Lily ran to the closet and grabbed the jackets they liked. They were soft and fluffy and colorful. They looked like animals. Tom had a lion jacket and Lily had a bunny jacket. + +They put on their jackets and zipped them up. They put their helmets back on and ran outside. They looked very funny, but they did not care.

She loved them very much. +Anna liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped in the park, she skipped at home. She was happy when she skipped. She felt like a bird. + +One day, she saw a new knob on the door of her room. It was shiny and round. She wanted to touch it and turn it. She skipped to the door and reached for the knob. + +But her brother Ben was there. He was older and taller. He said, "No, Anna, this is my knob. I put it on the door. It is mine. You can't touch it. Go away." + +Anna was sad and angry. She said, "That is not fair, Ben. You are selfish. You have many things. You don't share. I want to see the knob. Please let me." + +But Ben did not listen. He pushed Anna away. He said, "Go away, Anna. This is my room. You have your own room. You have your own things. Leave me alone." + +Anna cried. She ran to her room. She did not want to skip anymore. She felt like a stone. +Tom is a bird. He lives in a cage in a pet shop. He is not happy. He wants to fly and sing in the sky. But his wing is hurt. He can not fly. + +One day, a girl comes to the pet shop. She sees Tom. She likes him. She says to her mom, "Can I have this bird, please? He is so cute and cheap." + +Her mom says, "Are you sure? He has a hurt wing. He may not heal. He may not sing. He may be sad." + +The girl says, "I don't care. I will love him and take care of him. Maybe he will heal and sing.
