But no one heard them. No one came to help them. They were alone in the underground. + +They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished they had never gone into the hole. + +But it was too late. Their dreams turned into nightmares. Their adventure turned into a disaster. Their lives turned into dust. + +The hole was their grave. Their bodies were delicate. They broke and rotted. They were gone. +Sam and Tom were brothers. They liked to play outside. One day, they went to the big hill near their house. The hill had a cliff at the end. Sam and Tom wanted to see what was over the cliff. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Sam said. He ran to the edge of the cliff. He was not afraid. + +"Wait, Sam!" Tom said. He was afraid. He did not want to fall. He followed Sam slowly. + +Sam looked over the cliff. He saw a big lake. He saw fish and ducks and frogs. He saw a boat. He was happy. + +"Wow, look, Tom!" Sam said. He pointed to the lake. "Let's go down and play!" + +Tom looked over the cliff. He saw the lake. He saw the fish and ducks and frogs. He saw the boat. He was not happy. He saw how high the cliff was. He saw how far the lake was. He saw how steep the hill was. + +"No, Sam, no!" Tom said. He pulled Sam back. "It's too high! It's too far! It's too steep! We can't go down!" + +Sam was angry. He wanted to go down. He wanted to play with the fish and ducks and frogs. He wanted to ride the boat. He did not listen to Tom. + +"Let me go, Tom!" Sam said. He pushed Tom away. He ran to the cliff. He jumped. + +Tom was scared. He saw Sam jump. He saw Sam fall. He saw Sam splash. He heard Sam scream. + +"Sam, Sam, Sam!" Tom said. He cried. He ran to the cliff. He looked for Sam. + +But Sam was gone. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a hut made of sticks and leaves. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go and search the hut," Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. "Maybe someone lives there." + +They walked to the hut and opened the door. It was dark and smelly inside. They saw a big pot, some bones, and some jars. + +"Wow, look at this," Tom said. He picked up a jar and opened it. It had a green liquid inside. He smelled it and made a face. + +"Yuck, what is this?" he asked. + +"I don't know, but don't touch it," Lily said. "It might be bad." + +But Tom was curious. He wanted to taste it. He put his finger in the jar and licked it. + +"Tom, no!" Lily shouted. + +But it was too late. Tom felt a sharp pain in his mouth. He dropped the jar and screamed. His finger turned black and fell off. + +Lily was scared. She ran to Tom and tried to help him. But he was too sick. He fell to the floor and stopped moving. + +Lily cried and cried. She wanted to get help. But she did not know where to go. She was lost in the woods. + +Then she heard a voice. It was old and mean. + +"Who are you and what are you doing in my hut?" the voice said. + +Lily looked up and saw a woman. She was old and ugly. She had a long nose, a black hat, and a stick. She was a witch. + +Lily was terrified. She tried to run, but the witch was faster. She grabbed Lily by the hair and dragged her to the pot. + +"You little thief, you stole my potion," the witch said. "Now you will pay. I will cook you and eat you." + +She threw Lily into the pot and lit a fire. Lily screamed and screamed. But no one heard her. No one came to save her. + +The witch was happy. She had a good meal. She was wise. She knew how to make potions and traps. She knew how to catch children and eat them. She lived in the hut and waited for more. +Sara and Tom were going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They wanted to fly to Grandma's house for Christmas. Sara and Tom liked planes. They liked to see them in the sky and hear them go zoom. + +But when they got to the airport, they saw many people and bags. They heard loud noises and angry voices. Mom and Dad looked worried. They said there was a big problem. The planes could not fly because of snow. They said they had to wait and see if they could get another plane. + +Sara and Tom did not like to wait. They were bored and hungry and cold. They asked Mom and Dad when they could go to Grandma's house. Mom and Dad said they did not know. They said they were sorry. They said they tried to be dependable, but sometimes things happened that they could not control. + +Sara and Tom started to cry. They wanted to see Grandma. They wanted to open presents. They wanted to have fun. They did not want to be at the airport. They did not like the airport. They said the airport was bad. + +Mom and Dad hugged Sara and Tom. They said they loved them. They said they would try to make the best of it. They said they would find something to eat and play and read. They said they would hope for a miracle. + +But there was no miracle. The snow did not stop. The planes did not fly. Sara and Tom did not go to Grandma's house. They spent Christmas at the airport. They were sad and mad and tired. They did not like the airport. They did not like the snow. They did not like the problem. They did not like the story. The story had a bad ending. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and draw pictures. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They think it is a spaceship. + +"Let's design our own spaceship!" Sara says. "We can use these crayons and stickers." + +"OK!" Tom says. "I want to be the pilot. You can be the co-pilot." + +They work hard to make the box look like a spaceship. They draw windows, buttons, and stars. They stick some foil and feathers on the top. They are very proud of their spaceship. + +"Ready to blast off?" Sara asks. + +"Yes!" Tom says. "3, 2, 1, go!" + +They pretend to fly to the moon and the planets. They make noises and have fun. They do not see the sign on the box. It says "Danger: Do not open. Contains oxygen tanks." + +After a while, they get bored. They want to see what is inside the box. + +"Maybe there are some toys or snacks in there," Sara says. + +"Let's open it and see," Tom says. + +They pull the lid off the box. They hear a loud hiss. They see a lot of black smoke. They smell something bad. + +"Uh-oh," Sara says. + +"Run!" Tom says. + +But it is too late. The oxygen tanks explode. The box catches fire. The garage burns down. Sara and Tom are hurt. They cry and scream. Their parents come and call for help. They are very angry and sad. + +Sara and Tom learn a hard lesson. They should not play with things they do not know. They should not open boxes that say "Danger". They should listen to their parents. They should be careful. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used the oven, but only when Mom was there to help them. + +One day, Mom had to go to the store. She told Tom and Lily to be good and not touch the oven. She said it was very hot and could hurt them. She said she would be back soon and gave them a kiss. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said bye to Mom. They kept playing with their toys. But after a while, Tom got bored. He wanted to see what was inside the oven. He thought maybe there was a cake or a pie or something else delicious. + +He told Lily he was going to open the oven. Lily said no, that was bad. Mom said not to touch the oven. It was hot and dangerous. Tom said he didn't care. He was brave and curious. He wanted to see what was inside. + +He walked to the oven and reached for the handle. Lily ran after him and tried to stop him. She shouted, "Tom, no! Don't do it!" But Tom didn't listen. He pulled the handle and opened the oven. + +A big blast of hot air came out of the oven. It made Tom and Lily blink and cough. It also made a loud noise. It scared Tom and Lily very much. They dropped their toys and ran away from the oven. They hid under the table and hugged each other. + +They heard Mom come back from the store. She saw the oven open and the toys on the floor. She smelled the hot air and heard the noise. She knew something was wrong. She looked for Tom and Lily and found them under the table. She asked them what happened. + +Tom and Lily were sorry and scared. They told Mom they opened the oven and it was hot and loud. They said they were sorry and they wouldn't do it again. Mom was angry and worried. She told them they were very naughty and they could have been hurt. She also told them they were lucky nothing bad happened. She hugged them and said she loved them. She said they had to be careful and listen to her. She said the oven was not a toy and they should never touch it without her. + +Tom and Lily said they understood and they loved Mom too. They said they would be good and not touch the oven anymore. They said they were not brave, they were silly. Mom said they were brave, but they had to be smart too. She said she was glad they were okay. She said they could help her make some cookies later, but only with her help. Tom and Lily smiled and said yes. They liked cookies and they liked Mom. They learned their lesson and they never opened the oven again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a brown train. Ben has a red car. They play on the floor. + +"Can I play with your train?" Ben asks Lily. + +"OK, you can lend my train. But be careful. It is my favorite toy," Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily. I will be careful. Do you want to play with my car?" Ben says. + +"Yes, please. I like your car. It is very fast," Lily says. + +They swap toys and play together. They make noises like a train and a car. They have fun. + +But then, Lily sees a scratch on her train. She is sad and angry. + +"Ben, you scratched my train! You did not be careful. You are a bad friend," Lily says. + +"I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to scratch your train. It was an accident. Please do not be mad at me," Ben says. + +He tries to give back the train to Lily. But Lily does not want it. She pushes Ben and takes his car. + +"This is my car now. You can not have it. You can not have my train either. Go away," Lily says. + +Ben is sad and hurt. He cries. He does not have any toys. He does not have a friend. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to make loud noises and pretend they were racing. Tom had a red car made of steel. Lily had a yellow car made of plastic. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Tom yelled, as he zoomed past Lily. + +"No, you're not, I'm faster than you!" Lily yelled back, as she tried to catch up with Tom. + +They were having fun, until they saw a big dog coming towards them. The dog was black and hairy, and had sharp teeth. It looked grumpy and hungry. + +"Help, help, a dog!" Tom and Lily yelled, as they dropped their cars and ran to the house. + +But the dog was faster than them. It ran after them and caught Tom by his leg. It bit him hard and made him bleed. Tom screamed in pain and fear. + +Lily reached the door and opened it. She ran inside and called for her mom. "Mom, mom, a dog is hurting Tom!" + +Mom heard Lily and came out. She saw the dog and Tom. She was scared and angry. She grabbed a broom and hit the dog. The dog let go of Tom and ran away. + +Mom picked up Tom and hugged him. She saw his wound and cried. She called for help. "Dad, dad, call the doctor, Tom is hurt!" + +Dad heard mom and came out. He saw Tom and mom. He was sad and worried. He took his phone and called the doctor. "Doctor, doctor, please come, Tom is hurt!" + +The doctor came and looked at Tom. He said Tom needed to go to the hospital. He put Tom in his car and drove away. Mom and dad went with him. Lily stayed with grandma. + +Lily was sad and scared. She missed Tom and mom and dad. She wished the dog never came. She wished Tom was okay. She cried and cried. She hated the dog. She hated the steel car. She hated the backyard. She hated the day. +Lily and Ben are playing soccer in the park. They are on the same team. They want to score a goal. They run and kick the ball. The ball goes past the other team's goalie. Lily and Ben score! + +They are very happy. They celebrate. They hug and jump and shout. "We did it! We did it!" they say. They are the best soccer players. + +But they are also very dirty. They have grass and mud on their clothes and faces. They look like brown bears. Their mom and dad are watching. They laugh and clap. They are proud of Lily and Ben. + +But they also say, "You need a bath. You are too dirty. Come on, let's go home and clean up." + +Lily and Ben nod. They are tired and thirsty. They say goodbye to their friends. They take their ball and follow their mom and dad. They had a lot of fun playing soccer. They can't wait to play again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big squash. It is green and round. + +"Wow, look at the squash!" Anna says. "It is so big!" + +"Can we pick it?" Ben asks. "I want to see how heavy it is." + +Anna nods. They go to the squash. They try to pull it. But it is too hard. They cannot move it. + +"Let's try to raise it," Ben says. He puts his arms under the squash. He pushes up. Anna helps him. They raise the squash a little bit. But it is too heavy. They drop it. + +"Ouch!" Anna says. "The squash hurt my fingers!" + +"Sorry, Anna," Ben says. "Are you okay?" + +Anna looks at her fingers. They are red. She feels sad. She starts to cry. + +Ben feels bad. He hugs Anna. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to hurt you. Do you want to play something else?" + +Anna nods. She wipes her tears. She says, "Yes, let's play something else. Something that is not so heavy." + +They leave the squash. They go to the swing. They take turns to swing. They have fun. They forget about the squash. They are friends again. +Ben liked to number his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite ones were his plastic cars. He had big cars and small cars, red cars and blue cars, fast cars and slow cars. He had a thick book with numbers and pictures of cars. He liked to look at the book and match his cars with the numbers. + +One day, Ben wanted to number all his cars. He took out his book and his cars and put them on the floor. He started with number one. He found a red car that looked like the one in the book. He put the car next to the number one. He said, "One red car." He was happy. + +He did the same with number two. He found a blue car that looked like the one in the book. He put the car next to the number two. He said, "Two blue cars."

He was very happy. + +He looked at his book and his cars. He had numbered all his cars. He smiled and clapped his hands. He said, "I did it! I numbered all my cars!" He was very proud. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the zoo with their moms. They are very happy to see the animals. + +The zoo has a big bus. The bus is white. The bus can take people on a tour. The tour shows many animals. Lily and Ben want to go on the tour. They ask their moms. + +But their moms say no. They say the tour is too long and too loud. They say Lily and Ben are too small. They say they can see the animals better by walking. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They want to go on the bus. They think the bus is fun. They think the animals are far. They do not want to walk. + +They see a man. The man works at the zoo. The man has a hat and a badge. The man says he can take Lily and Ben on the tour. He says he has a special seat for them. He says he can show them the best animals. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They say yes to the man. They follow the man to the bus. They do not tell their moms. + +But the man is bad. He does not work at the zoo. He wants to take Lily and Ben away. He wants to sell them to a bad place. He has a big bag. He puts Lily and Ben in the bag. He closes the bag. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They cannot see. They cannot breathe. They cannot talk. They want their moms. They cry. + +Their moms hear them. They run to the bus. They see the man. They see the bag. They are angry. They yell at the man. They call the police. They open the bag. They hug Lily and Ben. + +Lily and Ben are safe. They are sorry. They say they are sorry to their moms. They say they will not go with strangers. They say they will listen to their moms. + +Their moms are glad. They say they love Lily and Ben. They say they are sorry for saying no. They say they will go on the tour with them. They say they will have fun. + +They all go on the tour. They see the animals. They learn new things. They have a good time. They are happy. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. They see a big thing in the sky. It is round and shiny and has a basket. It is a balloon. + +"Wow, look at the balloon!" Lila says. "I want to go in it!" + +"Me too!" Ben says. "Let's go and ask." + +They run to the balloon. A man is there. He smiles and says, "Hello, kids. Do you want to see the balloon?" + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben say. + +The man lets them climb in the basket. He gives them hats and goggles. He says, "Are you ready for a ride?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lila and Ben say. + +The man turns on a fire. The fire makes the balloon go up. The balloon goes higher and higher. Lila and Ben see the park and the trees and the houses. They see birds and clouds and cars. They feel happy and excited. + +But then, something bad happens. The fire goes out. The balloon stops going up. It starts to go down. It goes faster and faster. Lila and Ben feel scared and dizzy. + +"Help, help, help!" they cry. + +The man tries to fix the fire. He can't. He says, "Don't worry, kids. I will call for help." + +He takes out a phone. He talks to someone. He says, "We need a rescue. We are in a balloon. We are falling. Please hurry." + +Lila and Ben hold each other. They hope someone will come. They hear a noise. It is a loud and strong noise. It is a helicopter. + +The helicopter comes near the balloon. It has a rope. It throws the rope to the balloon. The man catches the rope. He ties it to the basket. He says, "Hold on, kids. We are safe." + +The helicopter pulls the balloon up. It takes them to the ground. Lila and Ben see people waiting for them. They see their mom and dad. They run to them. They hug them. They say, "We are sorry. We are glad. We love you." + +Their mom and dad say, "We are sorry too. We are glad too. We love you too." + +They thank the man and the helicopter. They say, "You are brave. You are kind. You rescued us." + +The man and the helicopter say, "You are welcome. You are lucky. You are brave too." + +Lila and Ben smile. They feel happy and safe. They learned a lesson. They say, "Balloon rides are fun. But they can be dangerous. We will be careful next time." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside at night. They look at the stars in the sky. They enjoy the stars. They count the stars and make wishes. + +One night, Lily and Ben find a big star on the ground. It is shiny and yellow. They are happy. They think it is a magic star. They want to touch it and take it home. + +"Can we have the star?" Lily asks Ben. + +"Yes, let's have the star!" Ben says. + +They run to the star and pick it up. But the star is not soft and warm. It is hard and cold. And it is not sweet and nice. It is sour and bad. It makes their mouths hurt. + +"Yuck!" Lily says. "This is not a star. This is a lemon!" + +"Yuck!" Ben says. "This is not a magic star. This is a sour lemon!" + +They drop the lemon and spit. They are sad and angry. They do not enjoy the lemon. They do not like the trick. + +They look at the sky again. They see the real stars. They are still shiny and yellow. They are still soft and warm. They are still sweet and nice. + +They smile and hug. They enjoy the stars. They make new wishes. They hope they come true. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big purple bird on a tree. Sara likes the bird. She wants to feed it. + +"Look, Ben, a purple bird! Let's feed it some bread!" Sara says. + +"OK, Sara, but be careful. Maybe the bird is not nice," Ben says. + +They break some bread and throw it to the bird. The bird flies down and eats the bread. It makes a loud sound. Sara and Ben laugh. + +"More, more!" Sara says. She throws more bread to the bird. + +But then, the bird does something bad. It grabs Sara's hand with its beak. It tries to pull Sara to the tree. Sara screams. + +"Help, help! The bird is a trap!" Sara says. + +Ben is scared. He runs to Sara and hits the bird with a stick. The bird lets go of Sara's hand and flies away. Sara and Ben hug each other. + +"Are you OK, Sara?" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, thank you. You are brave. The bird is mean. I don't like the bird anymore," Sara says. + +They go back to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Mom and dad are glad they are safe. They give them a hug and a kiss. + +"Next time, don't feed the purple bird, OK?" Mom says. + +"OK, Mom. We learned our lesson," Sara and Ben say. +Tom and Anna wanted to go to camp. They liked to play with other kids and sleep in tents. But camp was expensive. Their mom and dad did not have a lot of money. + +One day, Tom had an idea. He said to Anna, "Let's make our own camp in the backyard. We can use a blanket and some sticks. And we can ring the bell when it is time to eat." + +Anna liked the idea. She said, "Yes, let's do that. It will be fun. And we can invite our friends too." + +They worked hard to make their camp. They found a big blanket and some sticks. They tied the sticks together and put the blanket over them. They made a door and a window. They also found a bell and hung it on a tree. + +They invited their friends to join them. They played games and sang songs. They pretended to roast marshmallows and tell stories. They rang the bell when they were hungry. Their mom and dad brought them sandwiches and juice. + +They had a great time at their camp. They did not need a lot of money to have fun. They only needed their imagination and their friends. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They saw a big, pretty butterfly. It had many colors on its wings. They wanted to catch it and look at it. + +"Come, butterfly, come!" Tom said. He ran after the butterfly. He was careless. He did not see the rock on the ground. He tripped over the rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and cried. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Mia asked. She ran to him and helped him up. She saw his knee was bleeding. She felt sorry for him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. It was a bad rock. It made you fall," she said. She took him to the house. She got a band-aid and put it on his knee. She gave him a hug and a kiss. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are a good sister," Tom said. He smiled and hugged her back. He felt better. + +They went back to the garden. They saw the butterfly again. It was flying near the flowers. They decided to leave it alone. They did not want to scare it or hurt it. They watched it from a distance. They thought it was beautiful. They were happy. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a shiny chain on the grass. Sara wanted to skip with the chain, but Tom said no. + +"That chain is not for skipping. It is for locking things. Maybe someone lost it and will come back for it. We should leave it alone," Tom said. + +But Sara did not listen. She thought the chain was pretty and fun. She took it and wrapped it around her neck. Then she started to skip and sing. + +"Look at me, Tom! I am a princess with a necklace!" Sara said. + +Tom shook his head. He was fearful for Sara. He knew the chain was too tight and could hurt her. He tried to catch her and take the chain off, but Sara was too fast. She skipped and skipped, until she tripped on a rock and fell. + +The chain pulled on her neck and made her choke. Sara could not breathe. She gasped and cried for help, but it was too late. Tom ran to her, but he could not save her. Sara was gone. + +Tom was very sad and sorry. He wished he had stopped Sara from playing with the chain. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that some things are not toys, and that we should listen to our friends when they warn us of danger. +Timmy hated gym. He did not like to run and jump and sweat. He liked to draw and read and play with his toys. But every day, his teacher made him go to the big room with the modern machines and the loud music. She said it was good for him, but Timmy did not think so. + +One day, Timmy had a plan. He hid under his desk when it was time for gym. He hoped his teacher would not find him. He wanted to stay in the classroom and look at his books. He was very quiet and still. + +But his teacher was very smart. She knew Timmy was not in the line. She looked around the classroom and saw his feet under the desk. She walked over and pulled him out. "Timmy, why are you hiding?" she asked. + +Timmy looked at her with big eyes. He did not want to lie, but he did not want to go to gym either. He said, "I don't like gym. It is hard and boring and noisy. I like the classroom. It is easy and fun and quiet." + +His teacher smiled. She said, "I understand, Timmy. But gym is important too. It helps you grow strong and healthy and happy. You can do many things in gym. You can run and jump and sweat, but you can also play and laugh and make friends. And you can still draw and read and play with your toys after gym. How about we try it today and see if you like it?" + +Timmy was not sure. He still hated gym. But he liked his teacher. And he did not want to make her sad. He said, "OK, I will try. But only for a little bit." + +His teacher nodded. She said, "That's very brave of you, Timmy. Come on, let's go to gym. Maybe you will find something you like there." + +She took his hand and led him to the big room with the modern machines and the loud music. Timmy followed her. He hoped he would not hate gym too much. He hoped he would find something he liked there. He hoped he would still have time to draw and read and play with his toys. He hoped gym would not be so bad. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big stick on the ground. It was brown and long and had some leaves on it. + +"Look, a stick!" Tom said. "We can use it for many things." + +"Like what?" Lily asked. + +"Like a sword, or a wand, or a flag, or a bridge," Tom said. He picked up the stick and waved it in the air. + +Lily smiled. She liked Tom's ideas. She took the other end of the stick and held it with him. "We can also use it to unite us," she said. + +"To unite us?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, to make us closer and stronger and happier," Lily said. "Like this." She moved the stick closer to her chest and hugged it with Tom. + +Tom felt warm and cozy. He hugged the stick and Lily back. "You are right," he said. "This stick can unite us. It is a magic stick." + +They looked at each other and laughed. They were adorable. They were best friends. They were united by a stick. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play games and tell jokes. One day, they play a game of tic-tac-toe. Tom draws X and Lily draws O. They take turns to put their marks on the paper. + +"X, X, X! I win!" Tom says. He is happy. He shows his paper to Lily. + +"No, you don't win. Look, I have O, O, O!" Lily says. She is not happy. She shows her paper to Tom. + +But Tom and Lily have different papers. They have played on different sides of the same paper. They have not seen each other's marks. They have made a mistake. + +They look at each other and laugh. They realize they have made a joke. They are not angry. They are silly. + +"That was a funny joke. Let's play again!" Tom says. + +"OK, but this time, let's use the same paper. And let's be successful!" Lily says. + +They play again. They have fun. They are friends. +Tom and Mia are playing with blocks in the living room. They want to build a big tower, but they have different ideas. Tom thinks the tower should be red and blue, but Mia thinks it should be yellow and green. They start to argue and pull the blocks from each other. + +"Give me that block!" Tom says. "No, it's mine!" Mia says. They tug and tug until the block breaks in half. They both gasp and drop the pieces. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the broken block and the mess on the floor. She is not happy. She tells Tom and Mia to stop fighting and to clean up. She also tells them to be careful with the blocks, because they have sharp edges and can cut their fingers. + +Tom and Mia feel sorry and say sorry to each other. They start to pick up the blocks and put them in the box. They find the two halves of the broken block and try to fit them together, but they don't match. They look at each other and wonder if they can fix it. + +They see Dad in the kitchen. He is making a cake for dessert. He has a big knife and a bowl of frosting. Tom and Mia have an idea. They run to Dad and ask him if he can help them. They show him the broken block and ask him if he can cut it and make it whole again. + +Dad smiles and shakes his head. He tells them that he can't cut the block, because it is made of plastic and not of cake. He tells them that cutting plastic is hard and dangerous, and that they should not touch the knife or the oven, because they are hot and can hurt them. He tells them that he loves them and that he is proud of them for sharing and saying sorry. He tells them that the block is still a good block, even if it is broken, and that they can use it to make new shapes and patterns. + +Tom and Mia hug Dad and thank him. They go back to the living room and look at the broken block. They think it is not so bad after all. They decide to use it to make a rainbow for their tower. They find other blocks that are purple, orange, and pink, and they put them together with the red, blue, yellow, and green ones. They make a beautiful rainbow that shines in the sun. They are happy and proud of their tower. They show it to Mom and Dad and they all smile. +Tommy and Lily were playing with their dolls in the living room. Tommy had a big doll with a blue dress and a zipper on the back. Lily had a small doll with a pink dress and a button on the front. Tommy liked his doll very much, but he also wanted to play with Lily's doll. + +"Can I have your doll for a while?" Tommy asked Lily. + +"No, this is my doll. You have your own doll," Lily said. + +"But your doll is so cute. I want to see the button," Tommy said. + +"You can see it, but you can't have it. It's mine," Lily said. + +Tommy did not listen to Lily. He grabbed her doll and tried to pull it away from her. Lily held on to her doll and screamed. + +"Give it back! Give it back!" Lily cried. + +Tommy and Lily started to fight over the doll. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The doll's dress got torn and the button fell off. + +"Look what you did! You broke my doll!" Lily said. + +"I don't care. I want the button," Tommy said. + +He bent down to pick up the button, but Lily was faster. She snatched the button and ran to the other side of the room. Tommy chased after her, but he tripped over his own doll. His doll's zipper got stuck on the carpet and ripped off. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tommy said. + +He looked at his doll and saw the zipper hanging from the dress. He felt sad and angry. + +"You made me break my doll too!" Tommy said. + +He threw his doll at Lily, but he missed. The doll hit the wall and made a loud noise. Mommy and Daddy heard the noise and came to the living room. They saw the mess and the tears and the dolls. + +"What's going on here?" Mommy asked. + +"Tommy and Lily were fighting over their dolls. They broke them," Daddy said. + +Mommy and Daddy were not happy. They scolded Tommy and Lily for being naughty and selfish. They made them say sorry to each other and to their dolls. They helped them fix their dolls with some tape and glue. They told them to share and be nice to each other. + +"Next time, don't demand what is not yours. And don't hurt what is yours," Mommy said. + +"Your dolls are both cute and special. You should love them and take care of them," Daddy said. + +Tommy and Lily nodded. They hugged their dolls and each other. They learned their lesson. They played together nicely and had fun. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and racing each other. Sara has a pink car with a shiny handle. Ben has a blue car with a loud horn. + +"Beep beep! Move, Sara, move!" Ben says, as he tries to pass Sara's car. + +"No, Ben, no! This is my lane!" Sara says, as she blocks Ben's car with her handle. + +They both laugh and keep playing. But then, Sara sees something on the TV. It is a show about ballet dancers. They are wearing pretty dresses and shoes. They are moving in a graceful way, like birds. + +"Sara, what are you looking at?" Ben asks, as he notices Sara's car has stopped. + +"Look, Ben, look! They are dancing!" Sara says, as she points to the TV. + +"They are?" Ben says, as he looks at the TV. He sees the dancers spinning and jumping. He thinks they look silly. + +"They are not dancing, Sara. They are falling!" Ben says, as he makes a face. + +"They are not falling, Ben. They are dancing! They are graceful!" Sara says, as she smiles. + +She likes the dancers. She wants to be like them. She wants to wear a pretty dress and shoes. She wants to move in a graceful way, like a bird. + +"Sara, do you want to play cars with me?" Ben asks, as he nudges Sara's car with his horn. + +"No, Ben, no. I want to dance!" Sara says, as she puts down her car and stands up. + +She tries to copy the dancers on the TV. She lifts her arms and legs. She twirls and hops. She feels happy and free. + +"Wow, Sara, wow! You are good at dancing!" Ben says, as he watches Sara. + +He thinks Sara looks happy and free. He wants to be happy and free too. He wants to try dancing. + +"Can I dance with you, Sara?" Ben asks, as he puts down his car and stands up. + +"Sure, Ben, sure. You can dance with me!" Sara says, as she holds out her hand. + +Ben takes Sara's hand. They dance together. They lift their arms and legs. They twirl and hop. They feel happy and free. + +They are graceful. + +Their mom comes into the living room. She sees Sara and Ben dancing. She smiles and claps. + +"Wow, Sara and Ben, wow! You are good at dancing!" Mom says, as she praises Sara and Ben. + +"Thank you, Mom, thank you!" Sara and Ben say, as they bow and curtsy. + +Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She is proud of them. She loves them. + +"Mom, can we watch more dancing?" Sara asks, as she looks at the TV. + +"Sure, Sara, sure. You can watch more dancing!" Mom says, as she turns on the TV. + +She sees a message on the screen. It says: "Please pay for more episodes." + +"Oops, Sara, oops. We have to pay for more dancing!" Mom says, as she looks for her phone. + +She finds her phone. She taps on the screen. She pays for more episodes. + +"Yay, Mom, yay! You paid for more dancing!" Sara and Ben say, as they cheer. + +They watch more dancing. They learn more moves. They have more fun. + +They are graceful. +Lily was sleeping in her bed when she heard a loud noise. It sounded like a big bang outside her window. She was scared and wanted to call her mom, but she did not want to wake her baby brother. She decided to be brave and see what the noise was. + +She got out of her bed and walked to the window. She saw a big fire in the street. There were many cars and people and lights and smoke. She saw some men with hoses trying to put out the fire. She also saw some men with masks and guns running away from the fire. They looked mean and angry. + +Lily wanted to know what was happening, so she opened the window and shouted, "Hey, what is that noise? What are you doing?" + +One of the men with guns heard her and turned around. He saw her in the window and pointed his gun at her. He said, "Shut up, kid, or I'll shoot you!" + +Lily was very scared and tried to close the window, but it was too late. The man with the gun pulled the trigger and shot her in the chest. She fell to the floor and felt a lot of pain. She cried and called for her mom, but no one heard her. She closed her eyes and stopped breathing. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a new trail in the woods behind their house. They wanted to explore it, but they had to ask their mom first. + +"Mom, can we go on the trail?" Lily requested. + +"Where is the trail?" Mom asked. + +"It's in the woods. We saw it from the window. It looks fun!" Ben said. + +Mom looked at the trail and saw that it was narrow and dark. She was not sure if it was safe for the twins. + +"OK, you can go, but only for a little while. And stay together. And don't go too far. And come back before it gets dark. And be careful. And..." Mom said. + +"OK, OK, we will, Mom. Thank you!" Lily and Ben said. They put on their jackets and boots and ran to the trail. + +They followed the trail for a while, looking at the trees and the flowers and the animals. They saw a squirrel, a rabbit, a bird, and a frog. They were having fun. + +But then, they heard a loud roar. It sounded like a big, scary animal. They were frightened. They did not know what it was. They looked around, but they could not see anything. + +"Ben, what was that?" Lily whispered. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe a bear. Or a lion. Or a monster. Let's go back. Now!" Ben whispered. + +They turned around and ran back to the trail. They hoped that the animal would not follow them. They hoped that Mom was waiting for them. They hoped that they would be safe. They ran and ran until they saw their house. + +They ran to the door and opened it. They saw Mom in the kitchen. She was making cookies. + +"Mom, Mom, we're back! We're back!" Lily and Ben shouted. + +"Hello, my loves. How was the trail?" Mom asked. + +"It was fun, but scary. We heard a roar. It was a big, scary animal. We ran away. We were frightened." Lily and Ben said. + +"Oh, my. I'm sorry you were frightened. But I'm glad you're back. And I'm proud of you for staying together and coming back. Do you want a cookie?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, please. Thank you, Mom. We love you." Lily and Ben said. + +They hugged Mom and took a cookie. They felt better. They ate their cookies and told Mom about their adventure. They decided that the trail was fun, but scary. They decided that they would not go there again. They decided that they liked their home better. They decided that they were happy. +Anna likes to play in the garden. She likes to see the flowers and the insects. She likes to catch the insects in a jar and look at them. She thinks they are pretty and funny. + +One day, she finds a big insect with many legs and wings. It is green and shiny. She puts it in her jar and runs to show her mom. "Mom, look what I found!" she says. "It is a big insect!" + +Mom looks at the jar and frowns. "Anna, that is not a good insect. That is a wasp. It can sting you and hurt you. You have to let it go. It is not safe to keep it." + +Anna feels sad. She likes the wasp. She thinks it is beautiful. She does not want to let it go. "But mom, I want to keep it. It is my friend. Can I bathe it and feed it?" + +Mom shakes her head. "No, Anna, you cannot bathe it and feed it. It is not a pet. It is a wild insect. It needs to fly and find its own food. It does not like to be in a jar. It will be angry and scared. You have to let it go. It is better for you and for the wasp." + +Anna sighs. She knows mom is right. She does not want to hurt the wasp or herself. She takes the jar to the garden and opens the lid. The wasp flies out and buzzes away. Anna waves goodbye. "Bye, wasp. I hope you find a nice flower. Thank you for being my friend for a little while." + +Mom hugs Anna and smiles. "You are a good girl, Anna. You did the right thing. Now, let's go inside and have a snack. And then, you can bathe and get ready for bed. Maybe you can dream of nice insects that do not sting." +Tom and Lily are friends who like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend that the cars can zip around the room and make noises. Vroom, vroom, vroom! + +One day, they decide to have a race with their cars. They line up their cars on the floor and count to three. One, two, three, go! They push their cars as fast as they can. Tom's car is red and shiny. Lily's car is blue and sparkly. They both want to win the race. + +But then, something happens. Tom's car stops in the middle of the floor. It does not move anymore. Tom tries to push it again, but it does not work. He looks at his car and sees that it has no fuel. He forgot to fill it up with fuel before the race. He feels embarrassed. He thinks that Lily will laugh at him. + +But Lily does not laugh at him. She sees that Tom's car has no fuel. She feels sorry for him. She stops her car and goes to Tom. She says, "Don't be sad, Tom. It's okay. We can share my fuel. Here, take some of mine." She gives him some of her fuel from a small bottle. She helps him fill up his car with fuel. + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are a good friend." He fills up his car with fuel and pushes it again. It starts to zip around the room again. Vroom, vroom, vroom! + +They finish the race together. They do not care who wins or loses. They are happy to play with their cars and with each other. They are good friends who share and help each other. +Lily and Ben are ready to play. They have a big box and some string. They want to make a phone with the box and the string. They cut a hole in the box and tie the string to it. Then they take the other end of the string and run to the other side of the room. + +"Hello, hello, can you hear me?" Lily says into the box. She waits for Ben to answer. + +But Ben does not answer. He sees a kitten under the table. The kitten is small and fluffy. It has blue eyes and a pink nose. Ben likes the kitten. He forgets about the phone and goes to pet the kitten. + +"Meow, meow," the kitten says. It likes Ben too. It purrs and rubs its head on his hand. + +Lily is still waiting for Ben to answer. She does not know where he is. She pulls the string harder. She hopes he will hear the phone ring. + +But the string is too long and too thin. It breaks with a snap. The box falls to the floor. Lily is sad. She thinks Ben does not want to play with her. + +She picks up the box and walks to the other side of the room. She sees Ben and the kitten. They are happy and cuddly. Lily feels lonely and angry. + +"Ben, why did you not answer me?" she says. "We were playing phone. You broke the string. You are a bad friend." + +Ben looks up and sees Lily. He is sorry. He did not mean to hurt her feelings. He likes Lily. He likes playing with her. + +"Lily, I am sorry. I did not hear you. I saw the kitten and I wanted to pet it. It is so cute. Do you want to pet it too?" he says. + +Lily looks at the kitten. It is cute. She likes kittens. She feels a little better. + +"Okay, I will pet it. But next time, please answer me. And do not break the string. Or we can play something else. Do you want to play hide and seek?" she says. + +Ben nods and smiles. He is happy. He likes playing with Lily. He likes playing hide and seek. + +"Okay, let's play hide and seek. You count and I hide. And the kitten can help me. One, two, three..." he says. + +Lily covers her eyes and counts. Ben and the kitten run to find a hiding spot. They are ready to play. They are good friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to eat the apples. They are hungry. + +"Look, Tom, apples!" Lily says. "They look good. Can we have some?" + +"Yes, let's try," Tom says. "But they are too high. How can we reach them?" + +Lily thinks. She sees a big rock near the tree. She has an idea. + +"Tom, I have a test. You stand on the rock. I stand on your shoulders. Then I can reach the apples. OK?" + +"OK, Lily, let's do it," Tom says. He climbs on the rock. Lily climbs on his shoulders. She stretches her arms. She touches an apple. + +"I got one, Tom! I got one!" Lily says. She pulls the apple. She gives it to Tom. They both smile. + +"Good job, Lily! You are smart. And brave. Thank you for the apple," Tom says. He bites the apple. It is sweet and juicy. + +"You are welcome, Tom. Thank you for helping me. You are strong and kind. The apple is good," Lily says. She bites the apple too. It is also sweet and juicy. + +They eat the apples. They are happy. They are good friends. They share and care. They love the park. And the apples. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They swing, slide and run. They have fun. + +"Look, Lily!" Ben says. "I can skip with one foot. Can you do it?" + +Lily tries to skip with one foot. She hops and falls. She laughs. "No, I can't. You are good, Ben. Can you teach me?" + +Ben nods. He holds Lily's hand. He shows her how to skip with one foot. Lily tries again. She skips with one foot. She smiles. "I did it! Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." + +They skip together in the park. They are happy. They see the sun go down. They know it is time to go home. + +"Bye, Lily. See you tomorrow." Ben says. + +"Bye, Ben. See you tomorrow." Lily says. + +They hug. They wave. They skip to their homes. Their homes are tidy and warm. Their moms and dads are waiting for them. They give them hugs and kisses. They have dinner. They brush their teeth. They go to bed. They dream of skipping in the park. +Lisa and Ben liked to bake with Mom. They helped her to mix, pour and stir. Mom wore a big apron with flowers on it. She gave Lisa and Ben small aprons with stars on them. They felt very proud. + +One day, Mom said they could make a cake for Dad's birthday. Lisa and Ben were very excited. They wanted to make the best cake ever. They got out the eggs, the flour, the sugar and the butter. Mom told them to pass her the ingredients one by one. + +Lisa passed Mom the eggs. Ben passed Mom the flour. Lisa passed Mom the sugar. Ben passed Mom the butter. They took turns passing Mom the ingredients. But soon, they started to get competitive. They wanted to pass more things than the other. They began to grab and push and shout. + +"Pass me the milk!" Lisa said. + +"No, me!" Ben said. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. "You are making a mess!" + +Lisa and Ben looked around. They saw that they had spilled the milk, the flour and the sugar on the floor. They had also torn Mom's apron with their nails. They felt very sorry. + +"Sorry, Mom," Lisa said. + +"Sorry, Mom," Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She was not happy, but she was not angry either. She loved Lisa and Ben very much. She hugged them and said, "It's OK. We can still make the cake. But we have to work together, not against each other. Can you do that?" + +Lisa and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom." + +They cleaned up the mess. They put on new aprons. They passed Mom the ingredients nicely. They made the cake. It was a beautiful cake with chocolate and sprinkles. Dad was very happy when he saw it. He said, "Thank you, Lisa and Ben. You are the best bakers in the world." + +Lisa and Ben smiled. They learned a lesson. They learned that baking was more fun when they were not competitive. They learned that passing was better than grabbing. They learned that Mom's apron was not a toy. They learned that they loved each other. +Lily and Sam went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and elephants. They liked to watch them and learn their names. + +When they came to the big pen, they saw a huge animal with a horn on its nose. It was gray and had thick skin. Lily pointed at it and asked, "Mom, what is that?" + +Mom smiled and said, "That is a rhinoceros. It is a very strong and brave animal. It can run fast and use its horn to protect itself." + +Sam was curious and wanted to see it closer. He ran to the fence and shouted, "Hello, rhinoceros! You are very big and cool!" + +The rhinoceros heard Sam and looked at him. It snorted and walked towards him. Sam was not afraid. He thought the rhinoceros was friendly. + +The rhinoceros reached the fence and touched Sam's hand with its horn. Sam giggled and stroked its horn. He said, "You are very lovely, rhinoceros. I like you." + +The rhinoceros liked Sam too. It made a soft noise and rubbed its head against the fence. Lily and Mom joined Sam and petted the rhinoceros. They had a lot of fun with their new friend. +Tom and Jen are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But today, they are restless. They want to do something new and fun. + +"Let's go outside and play with the ball," Tom says. + +"No, it is too cold and wet," Jen says. + +"Let's draw some pictures with the crayons," Jen says. + +"No, that is too boring and messy," Tom says. + +They look at each other and sigh. They do not know what to do. + +Mom comes in the living room. She has a big smile on her face. She has a plate of meat in her hands. + +"Who wants some meat for lunch?" she asks. + +Tom and Jen jump up and run to the table. They love meat. It is yummy and juicy. + +"Me, me, me!" they say. + +They sit down and eat the meat. They forget about being restless. They are happy and full. + +"Thank you, Mom, for the meat," they say. + +"You're welcome, my loves," Mom says. "Now, why don't you quit playing and take a nap? You look tired." + +Tom and Jen nod. They are sleepy. They go to their beds and close their eyes. They dream of meat and balls and crayons. They are not restless anymore. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Sam had a big lion toy and Mia had a small mouse toy. + +"Roar!" Sam said, making his lion toy jump at Mia's mouse toy. "I am the king of the jungle and you are my lunch!" + +"Squeak!" Mia said, making her mouse toy run away from Sam's lion toy. "You are too big and scary, leave me alone!" + +They chased each other around the sofa and the table, laughing and giggling. Then they saw something shiny on the shelf. It was a magic wand that their mom had bought for a costume party. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sam said, reaching for the wand. "It looks like a fairy's wand. Maybe it can do magic!" + +"Let me see!" Mia said, grabbing the other end of the wand. "Maybe we can make our toys bigger or smaller!" + +They pulled the wand from each other, trying to get it for themselves. But they pulled too hard and the wand broke in half. A bright spark flew out of the wand and hit them both in the face. + +"Ow!" Sam and Mia said, dropping the wand pieces. "That hurt!" + +They rubbed their faces and looked at each other. They gasped in surprise. Their faces had shrunk! They had tiny faces on their big heads. They looked very funny and silly. + +"Your face is so small!" Sam said, pointing at Mia. + +"Your face is smaller!" Mia said, pointing at Sam. + +They felt their faces and realized they were hot. The spark had burned them a little. They started to cry. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" Sam and Mia shouted, running to the door. "Help us! Our faces are small and hot!" + +Their mom and dad heard their cries and came to the living room. They saw their children with their tiny faces and their broken wand. They were shocked and worried. + +"What happened here?" their mom asked, hugging them. + +"We played with the wand and it broke and it made our faces small and hot!" Sam and Mia said, sobbing. + +"Oh, you poor things!" their dad said, picking them up. "Don't worry, we'll fix this. Let's go to the doctor and see what he can do." + +They took them to the car and drove to the doctor. The doctor looked at their faces and gave them some medicine and cream. He said their faces would go back to normal soon. He also told them not to play with things they didn't know. + +Sam and Mia felt better and said sorry to their mom and dad. They learned their lesson and never touched the wand again. They also hugged their toys and said they loved them no matter how big or small they were. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is shiny and red. Lila wants to go on the slide. She says, "Look, Tom, a slide! Let's go!" + +Tom is scared. He says, "No, Lila, it is too high. I don't want to go." He holds his blue shirt. He likes his shirt. It has a star on it. + +Lila says, "Don't be scared, Tom. It is fun. You can do it. You have a star on your shirt. That means you are powerful. You can shine like a star." + +Tom thinks. He likes to shine like a star. He wants to be powerful. He says, "Okay, Lila, I will try. But you go first." + +Lila smiles. She says, "Okay, Tom, I will go first. Watch me." She runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the slide. She slides down. She laughs.

They are happy. +Sara and Ben were playing with a big red ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it very high and it went over the fence. Then they had to run and get it back. + +One day, they bounced the ball too hard and it flew over the fence and into a stream. The stream was fast and deep and the ball was carried away by the water. Sara and Ben ran after the ball, but they could not catch it. + +"Stop, stop!" Sara shouted. "We can't go near the stream. It's dangerous. Mommy said so." + +But Ben did not listen. He was bossy and wanted the ball back. He climbed over the fence and ran to the edge of the stream. He reached out his hand to grab the ball, but he slipped and fell into the water. + +Sara screamed and ran to get help. She saw a man with a phone and told him what happened. The man called the police and the firemen. They came with a big truck and a long rope. They tried to find Ben in the stream, but it was too late. Ben was gone. The ball was gone too. + +Sara was very sad and scared. She wished she had never bounced the ball so hard. She wished Ben had listened to her. She wished they had played something else. She wished she could see Ben again. But she couldn't. The end. +Anna and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys and books to play with. They are having fun. + +But then, Anna sees a shiny object on the table. It is a necklace that belongs to Mom. Anna likes shiny things. She wants to touch the necklace. She knows she should not, but she is curious. + +She enters the table and reaches for the necklace. But as she does, she hears a voice. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" It is Mom. She is standing at the door. She looks angry. + +Anna feels guilty. She drops the necklace and runs to Mom. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to see it. It is so pretty." + +Mom picks up the necklace and hugs Anna. She says, "I know, Anna. But this is not a toy. It is very special to me. You could have broken it or lost it. You should not touch things that are not yours. Do you understand?" + +Anna nods. She says, "I understand, Mom. I won't do it again. I love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Anna. But you have to be careful and respectful. Now, go back to play with Ben. And say sorry to him too. He was waiting for you." + +Anna says, "OK, Mom. I'm sorry, Ben. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben says, "Yes, Anna. I forgive you. Let's play with the blocks. They are fun and not shiny." + +Anna and Ben smile and play with the blocks. They are happy.

It has many seats inside. + +"Look, a bus!" Tim says. "Can we go on the bus?" + +"I don't know," Pat says. "Where does the bus go?" + +They see a sign on the bus. The sign says "Town". They do not know what town means. + +"Maybe town is a fun place," Tim says. "Maybe there are toys and candy and animals." + +"Maybe," Pat says. "But how do we get on the bus?" + +They see a man near the bus. The man is bald. He has no hair on his head. He wears a blue hat and a blue shirt. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, little ones," the man says. "Do you want to go on the bus?" + +"Yes, please," Tim and Pat say. + +"Where are your parents?" the man asks. + +"They are at home," Tim says. + +"They are busy," Pat says. + +The man frowns. He shakes his head. + +"Sorry, kids," he says. "You can't go on the bus without your parents. The bus is for grown-ups. It takes them to town. Town is a big place with many people and buildings and cars. It is not for children." + +Tim and Pat feel sad. They want to see town. They want to go on the bus. + +"Can we see your hat?" Tim asks. + +"Can we see your shirt?" Pat asks. + +The man laughs. He takes off his hat and his shirt. He gives them to Tim and Pat. + +"Here you go," he says. "You can play with these. But don't go near the bus. It is dangerous. Wait for your parents." + +Tim and Pat say thank you. They put on the hat and the shirt. They pretend to be the man. They pretend to drive the bus. They have fun. + +They forget about town. They forget about the bus. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a flashlight. They go to the park with Mom and Dad. + +"Look, Anna, I can ride my bike very fast!" Ben says. He pedals hard and zooms around the path. + +"Wow, Ben, you are good!" Anna says. She throws the ball high in the air and catches it. She likes to play with the ball. + +The sun goes down and it gets dark. Mom and Dad say it is time to go home. They pack the ball, the bike and the flashlight. + +"Can we use the flashlight, Mom?" Anna asks. She likes the flashlight. It makes a bright light. + +"Sure, Anna, you can use the flashlight. But be careful, okay?" Mom says. She gives the flashlight to Anna. + +Anna turns on the flashlight and shines it on the ground. She sees a long worm. She shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a long worm!" Anna says. She points with the flashlight. + +"Ew, Anna, a long worm!" Ben says. He makes a face. He does not like worms. + +Anna laughs. She thinks worms are funny.

They have a ball, a bike and a flashlight. And Anna has a long worm. +Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make new ones with old things.

She said they were her helmet and suit. + +"OK, I'll be the pilot," Ben said. He took a lamp from the nightstand. He said it was his control panel. He turned it on and off. He made beeping noises. + +They climbed inside the sack. They pretended it was flying. They counted down. "Three, two, one, blast off!" They shook the sack. They laughed. + +But then, their mom came in. She saw the mess. She saw the lamp. She was angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You can't play with the lamp. It's not a toy. It's unique. It was a gift from grandma. You could break it or hurt yourself." + +She took the lamp away. She told them to clean up. She said they had to go to bed soon. + +Anna and Ben were sad. They liked their rocket. They liked their lamp. They said they were sorry. They asked if they could play with it again. + +Mom sighed. She hugged them. She said she loved them. She said they had a lot of imagination. She said they could play with the lamp tomorrow, but only with her supervision. She said they could also make other rockets with safer things. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They said thank you. They cleaned up. They went to bed. They dreamed of the moon. +Anna likes to observe the fish in the big tank at the zoo. She sees many colors and shapes of fish. She likes the big fish with stripes. They are called tuna. She thinks they are fast and strong. + +One day, Anna goes to the zoo with her mom and dad. She runs to the fish tank and looks for the tuna. She sees them swimming in a group. She wants to touch them. She climbs on the fence and leans over the water. + +But the fence is not strong. It breaks and Anna falls into the tank. The water is cold and deep. She cannot swim. She screams for help. The tuna see her and swim to her. They are hungry and think she is food. They bite her with their sharp teeth. + +Anna's mom and dad hear her scream. They run to the tank and see what happens. They are scared and sad. They call for the zoo workers. But it is too late. The tuna eat Anna. She is gone. + +The zoo workers fix the fence and put a sign. It says: Do not climb on the fence. Do not touch the fish. The fish are not friendly. They are dangerous. + +The tuna are comfortable in the tank. They have a lot of food. They do not care about Anna. They do not know she was a girl. They only know she was tasty. +Jenny and Tom liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys. Sometimes they were pirates, sometimes they were fairies, sometimes they were doctors. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they decided to pretend they were spies. They put on black clothes and hats and sunglasses. They took a flashlight and a walkie-talkie. They sneaked around the house, looking for secrets. + +They saw a door that was always closed. They wondered what was inside. They thought it might be a treasure or a clue. They opened the door very slowly and quietly. They saw a dark room with a bed and a table and a chair. They saw an elderly lady sleeping on the bed. She was Tom's grandma. She was very sick and needed a lot of rest. + +Jenny and Tom did not know that. They thought she was a bad guy. They decided to capture her and interrogate her. They jumped on the bed and shouted, "Freeze! You are under arrest!" They flashed the flashlight in her eyes and pushed the walkie-talkie to her mouth. They asked her, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Tell us the truth!" + +The elderly lady woke up with a fright. She did not recognize Jenny and Tom. She did not understand what they were saying. She felt scared and confused. She tried to push them away, but they were too strong. She started to cry and scream. She felt a sharp pain in her chest. She fell back on the pillow and closed her eyes. + +Jenny and Tom stopped playing. They saw that the elderly lady was not moving or talking. They saw that she was very pale and still. They felt a cold silence in the room. They realized that they had done something very bad. They dropped the flashlight and the walkie-talkie. They ran out of the door and called for help. But it was too late. The elderly lady was gone. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big house with a fence and a gate. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go there," Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"No, Tom, we can't," Lily said. "That is a bad house. Mommy said it is a jail. Bad people live there. They do bad things and make people sad." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He was curious. He ran to the gate and opened it. He went inside the fence. Lily followed him. She was scared. + +Inside the fence, they saw a big door. It was locked. They heard a noise. It was a mysterious noise. It sounded like a growl. + +"What is that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Let's go back. I don't like it here." + +But it was too late. The door opened. A big dog came out. It was a bad dog. It was angry. It barked and ran to Tom and Lily. It bit Tom's leg. Tom screamed. He dropped the ball. Lily wept. She tried to help Tom. But the dog was too strong. + +A man came out of the door. He was a bad man. He was the owner of the dog and the jail. He saw Tom and Lily. He was mad. He grabbed them and took them inside. He locked the door. He said, "You are bad kids. You trespassed on my property. You will stay here forever. You will never see your mommy and daddy again." + +Tom and Lily wept. They were in trouble. They were in jail. They were afraid. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had never gone to the bad house. They wished they had stayed in the park with their ball. But it was too late. The end. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and eat snacks. One day, their mom said they would have a visit from their aunt and uncle. Anna and Ben were happy. They liked their aunt and uncle. They were nice and funny. + +Mom told them to clean their room and put away their toys. Anna and Ben did not want to do that. They wanted to keep playing. They said no to mom. Mom was not happy. She said they had to do it or they would not get any snacks. Anna and Ben still said no. They ran away to the backyard. + +Mom was busy in the kitchen. She did not see them go. She thought they were in their room. She made a cake and some sandwiches for the visit. She put them on the table. She went to get some drinks from the fridge. + +Anna and Ben were hungry. They smelled the cake and the sandwiches. They sneaked into the kitchen. They saw the food on the table. They thought mom would not mind if they had a little bite. They climbed on the chairs and reached for the cake. They took a big piece and ate it. It was yummy. They wanted more. They took another piece and another. They did not see the crumbs and the frosting on the table and on their faces. + +Mom came back from the fridge. She saw Anna and Ben eating the cake. She saw the mess on the table. She was angry. She yelled at them. She said they were naughty and rude. She said they ruined the cake and the visit. She said they had to go to their room and stay there. + +Anna and Ben were scared. They heard mom yell. They saw her angry face. They felt bad. They did not mean to make mom angry. They did not mean to ruin the cake and the visit. They panicked. They dropped the cake and ran to their room. They cried and hugged each other. They said they were sorry. They wished mom would forgive them. They wished their aunt and uncle would still come. They wished they had listened to mom and cleaned their room and put away their toys. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big hole under a tree. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe there is treasure in the hole," Tom said. "Let's dig and find out." + +Lily and Tom took their shovels and started to dig. They dug and dug until they saw something shiny. It was a metal box with a lock. + +"Wow, we found treasure!" Lily said. "Let's open it and see what's inside." + +But the lock was too hard to open. Lily and Tom tried to pull and twist it, but it did not move. + +"It's too strong for us," Tom said. "We are too weak to open it." + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They wanted to see the treasure, but they could not open the box. + +Then, they heard a voice behind them. + +"Hello, children. What are you doing here?" It was Mr. Brown, the park keeper. He saw the hole and the box. + +"We found treasure, Mr. Brown," Lily said. "But we can't open it. The lock is too strong." + +Mr. Brown smiled. He took a key from his pocket and opened the box. Inside, there were some old coins and a necklace. + +"This is not treasure, children," Mr. Brown said. "This is junk. I threw it away a long time ago. I forgot to fill the hole." + +Lily and Tom looked at the box. They felt disappointed. They thought they had found something special, but it was only junk. + +"Sorry, Mr. Brown," Tom said. "We didn't know it was your junk. We thought it was treasure." + +Mr. Brown laughed. He gave them a hug. + +"It's okay, children," he said. "You have something more valuable than junk. You have each other. You are best friends. That is the real treasure." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They realized that Mr. Brown was right. They did not need junk to be happy. They had each other. They hugged Mr. Brown and thanked him. + +Then, they filled the hole and went to play on the swings. They were happy. They knew they had the real treasure. +Lila and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Let's go inside and have some hot cocoa," Lila said. "It's very cold out here." + +"OK," Tom said. "But first, let's stir the snowman and make him dance." + +They took a stick and poked the snowman in the belly. They laughed as the snowman wobbled and shook. + +But they did not see the leopard that was hiding behind a tree. The leopard was hungry and angry. He saw the snowman move and thought it was a big, fat animal. He jumped out of his hiding place and ran towards the snowman. + +Lila and Tom screamed and ran away. They tried to reach the door of their house, but it was too far. The leopard was faster and stronger. He caught them and bit them. He dragged them to his den and ate them. + +The snowman was still standing in the yard. He did not know what had happened. He did not feel anything. He just stared at the sky with his rock eyes, until the sun melted him away. +Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to play outside and look at the sky. They saw many things in the sky: birds, clouds, sun, moon, stars. They liked to make up stories about the sky. + +One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny. They wanted to touch it. They ran after the balloon. They did not see where they were going. They did not hear their moms calling them. + +"Look, Tom, the balloon is getting closer!" Mia said. + +"Maybe we can catch it and fly with it!" Tom said. + +They were very happy. They thought they could part the sky with the balloon. + +But they did not see the road. They did not see the car. The car saw them too late. The car hit them. They fell down. They did not get up. + +The balloon flew away. The sky was still blue. But Tom and Mia were not happy anymore. They were gone. + +Moral: Do not run away from your moms. Do not chase things that are too far. Be careful of the road. The sky is beautiful, but it can be dangerous. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pumpkin in the park. It was orange and round. It had a green stem on top. + +"Wow, look at that pumpkin!" Lily said. "It is so big and lovely!" + +"Can we play with it?" Tom asked. + +They ran to the pumpkin. They touched it and felt how hard it was. They tried to lift it, but it was too heavy. + +"Let's skip around it!" Lily said. "It will be fun!" + +They held hands and skipped around the pumpkin. They sang a song: + +"Skip, skip, skip around the pumpkin +It is big and lovely and orange +Skip, skip, skip around the pumpkin +We are happy and we are friends" + +They skipped and sang until they were tired. Then they sat down next to the pumpkin. They smiled at each other. + +"That was a good game!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it was!" Lily agreed. "I like the pumpkin. And I like you!" + +They hugged each other. They were happy. They liked the pumpkin. And they liked to skip. +Tom and Ann like to bake with Mom. Mom says they can make a cake today. They need flour, sugar, butter, milk and eggs.

She says they have to wait for the cake to bake. + +Tom and Ann are hungry. They want to eat the cake. They ask Mom how long they have to wait. Mom says they have to wait for 20 minutes. She sets a timer. She says they can play while they wait. Tom and Ann go to the living room. They play with their toys. + +The timer rings. Mom says the cake is done. She takes the pan out of the oven. She puts it on the counter. She says they have to wait for the cake to cool down. Tom and Ann go to the kitchen. They want to see the cake. They are surprised. The cake is black. Mom says the oven was too hot. She says the cake is burned. She says they can't eat the cake. Tom and Ann are sad. They wanted to eat the cake.

She says, "Rex, come here. Drop the ball. It is not yours. It is theirs." + +The dog hears the lady. He knows he has to obey. He drops the ball and comes to the lady. He wags his tail. He is sorry. + +The lady picks up the ball. She walks to Sara and Tom. She says, "I am sorry. Rex likes balls. He did not mean to take yours. Here, you can have it back." + +She gives the ball to Sara and Tom. They say, "Thank you. We are glad. We forgive Rex. He is a good dog." + +The lady smiles. She says, "You are welcome. You are kind. Do you want to play with Rex? He likes to play fetch. He will bring the ball back to you if you throw it." + +Sara and Tom think. They look at Rex. Rex looks at them. He licks his lips. He wants to play. + +Sara and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, we want to play with Rex. He is fun. He is our friend." + +They throw the ball to Rex. Rex runs to the ball and brings it back to them. They do this again and again. They laugh and run and catch. They are happy. They stay in the park until it is time to go home. +Lily and Ben are friends. They go to the same classroom every day. They like to play with toys and books and colors. They also like to help their teacher, Miss Lee. + +One day, Miss Lee tells them that they will have a special guest.

Go away!" + +Lily and Sam were sad and scared. They ran to the bench. They did not know what to do. + +"Let's count to ten," Lily said. "Maybe he will go away." + +"OK," Sam said. They started to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." + +They looked at the swings. The big boy was still there. He was laughing. He said, "You can't count.

Go away!" + +The big boy was surprised. He was angry. He said, "No! These are my swings. Give them to me!" + +Lily and Sam said, "No! These are our swings. We can share them with you. But you have to be nice. You can't push us. You can't be bad." + +The big boy thought for a moment. He did not have any friends. He did not have any fun. He said, "OK. I will be nice. I will share the swings with you. Can I swing with you?" + +Lily and Sam smiled. They said, "Yes. You can swing with us. But you have to count with us. Can you count with us?" + +The big boy nodded. He said, "Yes. I can count with you. How do you count?" + +Lily and Sam said, "We count like this.

They had a big wardrobe full of clothes that their mom and dad gave them. + +"Let's be pirates today!" Ben said. He put on a hat with a feather and a coat with buttons. He also took a wooden sword from the toy box. + +"Arrr, matey!" he said. "I'm Captain Ben, the most fearsome pirate in the seven seas!" + +Lily wanted to be a pirate too. She looked in the wardrobe for a hat and a coat. But she could not find any. She only saw dresses and skirts and bows. + +"Ben, can I have your hat and coat, please?" she asked. "I want to be a pirate too." + +"No, you can't!" Ben said. "They are mine! You can be a princess or a fairy or something. Pirates are for boys!" + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to be a princess or a fairy. She wanted to be a pirate. She thought Ben was being mean and selfish. + +She grabbed his sword and ran out of the room. + +"Hey, give that back!"

Where did you get it?" + +"From Ben!" Lily said. "He has a hat and a coat too, but he won't share them with me. He says pirates are for boys. That's not fair!" + +Their dad looked at Lily and Ben, who had followed her into the living room. + +"Is that true, Ben?" he asked. "Did you say that to Lily?" + +Ben nodded. He felt a little ashamed. + +"Well, that's not very nice, Ben," their dad said. "Pirates are not for boys or girls. They are for anyone who likes to pretend and have fun. And sharing is a good thing to do. It makes everyone happy. How would you feel if Lily did not share her toys with you?" + +Ben thought about it. He realized he would feel sad and angry too. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I was wrong. You can be a pirate too. Here, you can have my hat and coat. And I'll have your sword.

It was a big white thing with holes and teeth. It looked like a head, but not a real one. + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a skull," Max said. + +"A skull? What is a skull?" Lily wondered. + +Max remembered what his mom had told him. "A skull is a bone that protects your brain. All animals have skulls, but they look different. This skull might be from a dinosaur or a lion or something." + +"Wow, that is cool. Can we keep it?" Lily asked. + +Max nodded. "Sure, but we have to be gentle. It is very old and might break. Let's put it in this bag and take it home. Maybe we can show it to our teacher and she can tell us more about it." + +Lily and Max carefully put the skull in the bag and ran to their bikes.

We like our toys and books and games," Lily said. + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy. She said, "You have to listen to me when I call you. And you have to clean up your bedroom. It's too messy. You have to learn to be tidy and respectful. Now, go downstairs and eat your lunch. And after that, you have to come back and put away your toys and books and games. Or else, I will send them away." + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to lose their toys and books and games. They loved them. They said, "No, Mom. Please don't send them away. We will listen to you. We will clean up our bedroom. We promise." + +Mom nodded. She said, "OK. But you have to keep your promise. And you have to be quiet and nice to each other. No more fighting and making noise. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will be good." + +Mom smiled. She said, "Good.

They were sad and angry. + +"Why did you do that, Ben?" Lily asked. "That was our tower. We worked hard to make it." + +"I don't care," Ben said. "I can do what I want. I have more muscle than you. You are just babies." + +Tom and Lily did not like Ben's words. They thought he was wrong and rude. They decided to teach him a lesson. + +They picked up some blocks and threw them at Ben. The blocks hit him on the head and the body. He felt pain and surprise. He shouted and ran away. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They felt better and stronger. They hugged each other and said, "We are not babies. We have muscle too. And we are not selfish. We share and play nicely." +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they get a task from their teacher. They have to find five different leaves and draw them. + +Ben and Mia run to the park. They see many trees and leaves.

He wanted to make him happy. He said to his mom, "Can I give him a banana?" + +His mom said, "No, Tommy. You can't feed the animals. They have their own food. And the cage is locked. You can't open it." + +But Tommy did not listen. He saw a banana on a cart near the cage. He ran to the cart and grabbed the banana. He ran back to the cage and tried to push the banana through the bars. He said to the monkey, "Here, monkey. Have a banana. It's yummy." + +But the monkey did not want the banana.

I won't feed the animals again." + +His mom said, "It's okay, Tommy. You made a mistake. But you learned a lesson. The animals are happy in their cages. They don't need our food. They need our respect. Let's go and wash your face. And don't worry. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes." +Tim and Anna are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like to make new things with a big box. They pretend the box is a car, a house, a boat, or anything they want. + +"Look, Anna, I made a rocket!" Tim says. He puts the box on its side and draws some windows and stars on it. He points to the top of the box. "This is where we go to the moon!" + +Anna likes the rocket, but she has another idea. She points to the bottom of the box. "This is where we go to the sea!" She says. She draws some fish and waves on it. She wants to play mermaids. + +Tim and Anna take turns to go inside the box. They make noises like rockets and mermaids. They have fun, but the box is small and hard. They feel uncomfortable after a while. + +"Tim, I'm tired of the box. It's too hot and tight. Can we play something else?" Anna asks. + +"Me too, Anna. The box is not very cozy. Let's play with the teddy bears. They are soft and cuddly." Tim agrees. + +They leave the box and pick up their teddy bears. They hug them and talk to them. They are happy and comfortable. They forget about the box. +Tim and Lily were playing with their paper dolls in the garden. They liked to make them dance and sing and have fun. They had many paper dolls, but their favorite ones were Tom and Molly, who wore jolly hats and dresses. + +One day, a big wind came and blew their paper dolls away. Tim and Lily ran after them, but they could not catch them. They saw Tom and Molly flying in the air, higher and higher, until they reached a cliff. The cliff was very high and steep, and had rocks and trees on it. + +"Tom! Molly! Come back!" Tim and Lily shouted. They climbed the cliff, but it was hard and scary. They had to hold on to the rocks and the trees, and be careful not to slip. They hoped that Tom and Molly were safe and not hurt. + +When they reached the top of the cliff, they saw Tom and Molly lying on the ground. They were torn and dirty, and their jolly hats and dresses were gone. Tim and Lily felt very sad and sorry. They picked them up and hugged them. + +"We are sorry, Tom and Molly. We did not mean to lose you. We love you very much," they said. + +Tom and Molly smiled and said, "We love you too, Tim and Lily. We are happy that you found us. We are still your paper dolls, even if we are torn and dirty. You can make us new hats and dresses, and we can play again." + +Tim and Lily nodded and smiled. They were glad that Tom and Molly were not angry or sad. They took them back to the garden, and made them new hats and dresses. They played with them again, and had a lot of fun. They also made sure to keep them safe from the wind. They were a jolly paper doll family. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom has a big truck and Mia has a doll. They share their toys and take turns. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud bang from the kitchen. They look at each other and wonder what it is. They run to the kitchen and see their mom holding a broken plate. She looks sad and says, "Oh no, I dropped the plate and it broke. It was my favorite plate." + +Tom and Mia feel sorry for their mom. They want to help her. They look around and see a roll of tape on the counter. They have an idea. They grab the tape and go to the broken plate. They try to stick the pieces together with the tape. They work hard and make the plate look like before. + +They show the plate to their mom and say, "Look, mom, we fixed the plate. It is fine now. Don't be sad." Their mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "Thank you, Tom and Mia. You are very sweet and clever. The plate is not fine, but it is special. It has your love on it. I will keep it forever." Tom and Mia are happy. They love their mom and their tape. +Lily liked to play with her toy car. It was red and shiny and made noises when she pushed a button. But one day, the car stopped making noises. Lily was sad. She asked her mom, "Why is my car quiet?" + +Mom looked at the car and said, "The car needs a new battery. A battery is a thing that gives power to the car. Power makes the car go and make noises. We can go to the store and buy a new battery later." + +Lily nodded, but she wanted to play with her car now. She had an idea. She said, "Mom, can I imagine that my car has a new battery?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course you can, Lily. Imagining is a fun way to play. You can imagine anything you want." + +Lily picked up her car and closed her eyes. She imagined that her car had a new battery. A powerful battery that made the car go fast and make loud noises. She imagined that she was driving the car on a big road with other cars and trucks. She imagined that she was honking the horn and waving to the people. She imagined that she was having a lot of fun. + +Lily opened her eyes and smiled. She said, "Mom, I imagined that my car had a new battery. It was powerful and fun. Can you imagine with me?" + +Mom said, "Sure, Lily. I can imagine with you. Let's play together." She picked up another toy car and joined Lily. They imagined that they were having a great adventure with their cars. They laughed and talked and enjoyed their playtime. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make dishes with the toy food and pots. Lily made a dish with pasta, cheese and peas. She put it on a big plate and said, "This is my dish. It is very impressive. Do you want some?" + +Ben looked at the dish and shook his head. He did not like peas. He made a dish with bread, jam and bananas. He put it on a small plate and said, "This is my dish. It is very impressive. Do you want some?" + +Lily looked at the dish and made a face. She did not like bananas. She said, "No, thank you. Your dish is not impressive. It is silly. My dish is better. You should try it." + +Ben said, "No, thank you. Your dish is not impressive. It is yucky. My dish is better. You should try it." + +They both crossed their arms and turned away from each other. They were angry and sad. They did not want to play anymore. + +Mom came into the kitchen and saw the dishes and the children. She smiled and said, "Wow, you made some impressive dishes. They look very yummy. Can I try some?" + +Lily and Ben looked at Mom and then at each other. They felt a little sorry for being mean. They nodded and said, "Yes, you can try some." + +Mom took a fork and a spoon and tasted both dishes. She said, "Mmm, they are both very good. You are both very good chefs. You have different tastes, but that is okay. You can like different things and still be friends. Can you accept each other's dishes and share?" + +Lily and Ben thought about it and said, "Yes, we can accept each other's dishes and share." + +They gave each other a hug and said, "Sorry for being mean. You are my friend." + +Mom said, "That's very nice. I'm proud of you. Now, how about we make a new dish together with some of your favorite things?" + +Lily and Ben said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun." + +They helped Mom make a new dish with pasta, cheese, jam and bananas. They put it on a big plate and said, "This is our dish. It is very impressive. Do you want some?" + +Mom said, "Yes, I do. Thank you for sharing. You are very impressive." +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play music. They had a band with a drum, a guitar and a flute. They played songs for their family and friends and had fun. + +One day, they saw a poster for a music contest. The poster said: "Do you have a band? Do you want to win a prize? Come and play at the park on Saturday. The best band will get a big trophy and a cake!" + +Tom and Sue wanted to join the contest. They practiced their songs every day. They were very excited. + +On Saturday, they went to the park with their band. There were many other bands there. Some had big instruments and loud voices. Some had fancy clothes and shiny hats. Tom and Sue felt a little scared. + +They waited for their turn to play. The sky was gloomy and dark. It looked like it was going to rain. Tom and Sue hoped it would not rain. + +When it was their turn, they went on the stage. They smiled at the people who were watching. They started to play their first song. + +But then, something bad happened. The wind blew hard and knocked over their drum. The drum rolled away and hit a tree. The guitar string broke and made a loud noise. The flute fell out of Sue's mouth and landed on the ground. + +Tom and Sue stopped playing. They felt sad and embarrassed. They wanted to cry. + +They heard some people laughing at them. They heard some people saying mean things. They felt like giving up. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was their teacher, Mr. Lee. He was one of the judges for the contest. He said: "Don't worry, Tom and Sue. You can still play. Just pass me the drum, I'll fix it. And here, take this guitar and this flute. They are mine, but you can use them. You have a good band, and you have a good spirit. Don't let a little wind stop you. Try again, and have fun!" + +Tom and Sue looked at Mr. Lee. They felt happy and grateful. They said: "Thank you, Mr. Lee. You are very kind. We will try again, and we will have fun!" + +They passed him the drum, and took the guitar and the flute. They played their songs again, with more confidence and joy. They made the people clap and cheer. They made the sun come out from behind the clouds. + +They did not win the contest, but they did not mind. They had a good band, and they had a good friend. They learned that sometimes things go wrong, but they can always try again, and have fun. They learned that music is not about winning, but about sharing and enjoying. They learned that kindness is more valuable than a trophy or a cake. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to play restaurant. Sara was the cook and Tom was the waiter. They used their toys and dishes to make pretend food and drinks. + +Tom took a tray and went to serve their mom, who was reading a book on the couch. He said, "Hello, mom. Welcome to our restaurant. What would you like to order?" + +Mom smiled and played along. She said, "I would like a cup of tea and a slice of cake, please." + +Tom nodded and went back to the kitchen. He told Sara what mom wanted. Sara looked at their toys and dishes. She saw a red ball, a blue cup, a yellow plate, and a green block. She thought, "I can make tea and cake with these things. They are the same colors." + +She put the red ball on the yellow plate and said, "This is the cake." She filled the blue cup with water and said, "This is the tea." She gave them to Tom and said, "Here you go. Be careful, they are hot." + +Tom took the tray and went to serve mom. He said, "Here is your tea and cake, mom. Enjoy." + +Mom looked at the tray and saw the ball, the cup, the plate, and the block. She thought, "This is crazy. How can these be tea and cake?" But she did not want to hurt their feelings. She said, "Thank you, Tom. This looks delicious." + +She pretended to sip the water and bite the ball. She said, "Mmm, this is the best tea and cake I ever had. You and Sara are very good at cooking and serving." + +Sara and Tom were happy. They said, "Thank you, mom. We are glad you like it. You are the best mom ever." + +Mom hugged them and said, "You are the best twins ever. I love you both very much. You know, it does not matter what you use to make tea and cake. What matters is that you use your imagination and have fun. That is the value of playing." + +Sara and Tom learned a lesson. They learned that playing is valuable and fun. They also learned that mom is very kind and crazy. They laughed and played some more. +Sara was a bossy girl. She liked to tell her brother Tom what to do. She said, "Tom, you play with this doll. I play with this car. You do not touch my car." + +Tom did not like to play with the doll. He wanted to play with the car. He said, "No, Sara. I want to play with the car. You play with the doll. You do not tell me what to do." + +Sara got angry. She said, "I am older than you. I am the boss. You do what I say." She grabbed the car from Tom and ran away. + +Tom ran after her. He said, "Give me back the car. It is not fair." He tried to catch her, but she was faster. + +Sara ran to the kitchen. She saw the sink. She had an idea. She said, "I will set the car in the sink. Then you cannot get it." She climbed on a chair and put the car in the sink. + +But she did not see that the water was on. The water filled the sink and the car. The car got wet and dirty. Sara was shocked. She said, "Oh no! What have I done?" + +Tom came to the kitchen. He saw the car in the sink. He said, "Sara, you are bad. You ruined the car. You are not the boss. You are in trouble." + +Sara felt sorry. She said, "I am sorry, Tom. I was wrong. I should not have been bossy. I should have shared the car with you. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom felt sad. He said, "I forgive you, Sara. But the car is broken. We cannot play with it anymore." + +Sara said, "Maybe we can find another toy to play with. Or we can play with the doll together. Do you want to do that?" + +Tom said, "Yes, Sara. I want to do that. I love you, Sara." + +Sara said, "I love you, Tom." They hugged and went to find another toy. +Ben and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build many things with blocks, like houses, cars, animals and towers. + +One day, they decide to build a mountain with blocks. They start to stack the blocks on the floor, making a big pile. They use blue blocks for the sky, green blocks for the grass, brown blocks for the dirt and white blocks for the snow. They also add some yellow blocks for the sun and some red blocks for the flowers. + +"Look, Mia, our mountain is amazing!" Ben says, smiling. "It is very high and beautiful. We are good builders." + +"Yes, Ben, our mountain is amazing!" Mia agrees, clapping her hands. "It is very fun and colorful. We are good builders." + +They are very proud of their mountain.

It is almost dinner time." + +Ben and Mia are sad. They do not want to take apart their mountain. They worked hard to build it. They like their mountain. + +"Mom, can we keep our mountain?" Ben asks, with a hopeful voice. "It is amazing. We want to play with it more." + +"Mom, can we keep our mountain?" Mia repeats, with a pleading voice. "It is amazing. We want to play with it more." + +Their mom looks at their mountain. She sees how happy they are with it. She smiles and says, "OK, you can keep your mountain. But you have to move it to the corner, so it does not block the way. And you have to promise to clean up the rest of your blocks. Deal?" + +Ben and Mia nod and say, "Deal!" They hug their mom and thank her. They move their mountain to the corner, and clean up the rest of their blocks. They are very happy. They have an amazing mountain. +Sara was a girl who liked to play with scissors. She liked to cut paper, cloth, and even her hair. She did not listen to her mom, who told her to be careful with the scissors. She said scissors were sharp and could hurt her. + +One day, Sara found a rag in the closet. It was old and dirty, but Sara thought it would be fun to cut it. She took the scissors and started to snip the rag. She did not see the nail that was stuck in the rag. She cut the nail with the scissors, and the scissors broke. A piece of metal flew into Sara's eye. + +Sara screamed and dropped the scissors and the rag. She felt a lot of pain in her eye. She could not see well. She felt dizzy and fell to the floor. Her mom heard her scream and ran to her. She saw the blood and the metal in Sara's eye. She was very scared and sad. + +She called the doctor and took Sara to the hospital. The doctor took out the metal and gave Sara a bandage. He said Sara was lucky that the metal did not damage her eye too much. He said she would need to rest and take medicine for a while. He also said she should never play with scissors again. + +Sara learned a hard lesson that day. She realized that scissors were not toys, and that she should listen to her mom. She said sorry to her mom and hugged her. She promised to be more careful and obey the rules. She also said she would not cut her hair anymore. She hoped her eye would get better soon. +Lily was a small girl who loved to hug her toys. She had a big bear, a soft bunny, a yellow duck and a green frog. She put them on her bed every night and gave them a hug before she slept. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a red ball.

Do you want to hear it?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. I love stories." + +Mia smiled and said, "Come, sit with me. I will read it to you." + +Lily sat next to Mia and listened to the story. She liked Mia. She said, "You are a good reader. Can we be friends?" + +Mia said, "Of course. You are a nice listener. Can I see your toys?" + +Lily said, "Sure.

Lila and Ben like to hang from the branches and swing like monkeys. + +One day, they go outside to play. But the sky is dark and the wind is strong. They hear a loud boom. It is thunder. They see a bright flash. It is lightning. They are scared. Nature is harsh today. + +"Let's go inside, Lila!" Ben says. "It is not safe to play in the tree!" + +But Lila does not listen. She likes to hang from the branch. She thinks it is fun. She says, "No, Ben! I want to stay here! It is not scary!" + +Ben is worried. He tries to pull Lila down. But Lila holds on tight. She does not want to go. Then, another boom and flash. The branch breaks. Lila falls to the ground. She cries. She is hurt. + +Ben runs to Lila. He hugs her. He says, "I'm sorry, Lila. Are you okay?" + +Lila nods. She says, "I'm sorry, too, Ben. I should have listened to you. You are right. Nature is harsh today. Let's go inside." + +They hold hands and go inside. They are safe and warm. They learn a lesson. They love each other. They love nature. But they respect nature, too. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to jump on the cord that was tied to a big tree. It was like a swing, but more fun. They took turns to jump and fly in the air. + +"Look at me, Anna!" Ben said. "I can jump higher than you!" + +"No, you can't!" Anna said. "I can jump higher and faster!" + +They laughed and jumped and jumped. They did not see the big dog that was coming their way. The dog was hungry and wanted to play too. + +The dog saw the cord and thought it was a toy. He ran to the tree and bit the cord with his teeth. He pulled and pulled. The cord snapped and broke. + +Anna and Ben fell to the ground. They were scared and hurt. They cried and cried. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +The dog was sorry. He did not mean to hurt them. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. He wanted to be their friend. + +But Anna and Ben did not want to play with the dog. They wanted their mom and dad. They wanted to go home. They did not like the cord anymore. +Mia and Ben were playing with their snowman in the garden. They had made him with a big ball of snow for his body, a smaller ball for his head, a carrot for his nose, and two buttons for his eyes. They had also given him a hat, a scarf, and a broom. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Mia said. "You are our friend. We like you very much." + +"Yes, we do," Ben agreed. "You are the best snowman ever. You are very cold and white and round." + +But then, the sun came out from behind the clouds. It was very bright and warm. The snow started to melt.

He is going away!" + +"Stop, sun, stop!" Ben shouted. "Don't hurt our snowman! He is our friend. He is our owner. We belong to him." + +But the sun did not listen. It kept shining and melting the snow. Mia and Ben were very sad and frightened. They hugged the snowman and each other. They hoped he would not disappear. + +"Please, Mr. Snowman, don't leave us," Mia whispered. "We love you. We will miss you." + +The snowman could not speak, but he felt their love. He smiled with his carrot mouth. He was happy to have had such good friends. He wished he could stay with them, but he knew he had to go. He was made of snow, and snow cannot last forever. He was not afraid. He was ready to become part of the water and the earth and the air. He hoped to see Mia and Ben again, maybe next winter, when the snow would come back. He closed his button eyes and said goodbye. +Tim had a bad pain in his tummy. He cried and cried and his mom took him to the doctor.

"Can you help me?" + +Ben nodded and followed Dad. Anna wanted to help too, but she saw a girl her age sitting on a swing. She decided to go and say hello. + +"Hi, I'm Anna," she said. "What's your name?" + +The girl looked at her and frowned. She did not say anything. She looked grumpy. + +"Why are you grumpy?" Anna asked. "Don't you like camp?" + +The girl shook her head. "No, I don't. I miss my home and my friends. I don't want to be here." + +Anna felt sorry for the girl. She wanted to make her happy. + +"Maybe you can be my friend," she said. "We can play together and have fun. Camp is fun if you have a friend." + +The girl looked at Anna and smiled a little. She liked her idea. + +"Okay, I'll be your friend," she said. "My name is Lily." + +Anna and Lily became friends. They played on the swing, the slide and the seesaw. They laughed and talked. They had fun. + +Ben and Dad finished setting up the tent.

They liked camp. +Ben and Lily went to the mall with Mom. They liked to see the big shops and the bright lights. They also liked to eat ice cream and play in the toy store. + +But today, something bad happened. A fire started in one of the shops. Smoke and flames came out of the windows. People screamed and ran away. Ben and Lily were scared. They held Mom's hand and followed her to the exit. + +"Mom, what is that?" Lily asked, pointing at the fire. + +"That is a burn, Lily. It is very hot and dangerous. We have to get away from it," Mom said. + +"Why does it burn, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sometimes, things burn when they get too hot or when something sparks. It can be an accident or a mistake. But it is very serious. It can hurt people and things," Mom said. + +"Will the firemen come and stop the burn, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, they will, Lily. They have big trucks and hoses and suits. They are very brave and helpful. They will put out the burn and make sure everyone is safe," Mom said. + +They reached the exit and saw the firemen arriving. They also saw some people who were hurt by the burn. They had bandages and blankets and were taken to the ambulance. + +"Mom, are those people okay?" Ben asked. + +"They are hurt, Ben, but they will be okay. The ambulance will take them to the hospital, where the doctors and nurses will take care of them. They will give them medicine and hugs and make them feel better," Mom said. + +"Can we give them hugs too, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe not now, Lily. They need some space and rest. But we can say a prayer for them and hope they get well soon," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were sad for the people who were hurt by the burn, but they were glad they were safe with Mom. They hugged Mom and thanked her for taking them to the mall and away from the burn.

She did not want to get hurt or in trouble. + +Mama came running from the kitchen. She saw the mess and was very angry. She shouted at Sara. "What did you do? You are so naughty!

She ran after Sam and jumped on his leg. She opened her mouth and bit his boot. + +"Ow! Lily, no!" Sam shouted. He pulled his leg away. He was angry and sad. He looked at his boot. It had a hole and teeth marks. He looked at Lily. She had a guilty face. She knew she did something bad. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Lily said in her dog way. She licked his hand and wagged her tail. She wanted to make him happy again. + +Sam sighed. He was still upset, but he loved Lily. He knew she didn't mean to hurt him. He patted her head and said, "It's okay, Lily. But don't bite my boots again. They are not bones. They are for my feet. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She understood. She was obedient and listened to Sam. She never bit his boots again. She only bit her toys and bones. Sam and Lily were friends again. They walked and played in the park. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are playing with their bikes in the park.

She holds the handle of her bike and rides carefully. + +Tom does not listen to Mia. He says, "You are just scared, Mia. I am not scared. I am the best rider in the park." He rides faster and faster with no hands. He does not see the big rock on the path. He hits the rock and falls off his bike. He scrapes his knee and cries. + +Mia stops her bike and runs to Tom. She says, "Are you okay, Tom? I told you to hold the handle. You were not careful." She helps him get up and gives him a hug. + +Tom feels sorry and says, "You were right, Mia. I was not careful. I was not the best rider. I was silly and proud. I should be humble and listen to you. Thank you for helping me." He holds the handle of his bike and walks with Mia.

You cannot have my blue marble," Ben shouted. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought Ben was not a good friend. She decided to take his blue marble when he was not looking. She waited until Ben was busy with his other marbles. Then she quickly grabbed the blue marble and ran away. + +Ben saw what Lily did. He was very mad. He chased after Lily and yelled, "Give me back my blue marble, Lily. You are a bad friend. You are a thief." + +Lily ran faster and faster. She did not want to give back the blue marble.

They watched the dog run away with the blue marble in his mouth. + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been silly and mean. They had lost their blue marble and their friendship. + +They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, Lily. You are my friend. Can we share our marbles?" + +"Yes, we can. We have many marbles. We can play together. We can be happy," they said. + +They smiled and went back to their marbles. They forgot about the blue marble and the dog.

They run away from the slide. + +They find their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She has a bottle of water. + +"Mom, mom!" Sara says. + +"The slide broke!" Ben says. + +They tell their mom what happened. She hugs them and says: + +"Don't worry, it's OK. The slide is old and weak. It's not your fault. You are safe and sound." + +She gives them some water. They drink the water. It is cold and good. + +They feel better. They thank their mom. + +"Can we play somewhere else?" Sara says. + +"Sure, let's go to the swings!" Ben says. + +They follow their mom to the swings. They forget about the slide. They have fun on the swings. They are happy. +Lily and Max loved to play with their toy automobiles. They had many different colors and shapes of automobiles, and they liked to make them zoom on the floor, on the table, and on the couch. Sometimes they pretended that the automobiles were racing, and sometimes they pretended that they were going on a trip. + +One day, Lily and Max decided to play with their automobiles in the backyard. They brought a big box and some crayons, and they made a garage for their automobiles. They drew windows, doors, and signs on the box, and they cut out a hole for the automobiles to go in and out. They were very proud of their garage. + +"Look, Max, I have a red automobile and a blue automobile. They are very fast and shiny. Do you want to race with me?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily, I have a yellow automobile and a green automobile. They are very strong and loud. Let's race from the garage to the fence and back. Are you ready?" Max replied. + +"Yes, I'm ready. On your mark, get set, go!" Lily shouted. + +They both pushed their automobiles as hard as they could, and made them zoom across the grass. They cheered and laughed as they watched their automobiles go. But then, something happened. Lily's red automobile and Max's yellow automobile bumped into each other, and got stuck. They tried to pull them apart, but they were too tight. + +"Oh no, Lily, our automobiles are stuck. What can we do?" Max said. + +"I don't know, Max, they are too tight. Maybe we can ask Mommy for help. She can fix anything." Lily said. + +They ran to the house, holding their stuck automobiles. They found Mommy in the kitchen, and showed her their problem. + +"Mommy, Mommy, please help us. Our automobiles are stuck. They are too tight. Can you fix them?" they said together. + +Mommy smiled and took the automobiles. She gently twisted and pulled them, and soon they came apart. She gave them back to Lily and Max, and kissed them on their heads. + +"Here you go, my sweeties. Your automobiles are fixed. Be careful not to bump them again, okay? And have fun playing." she said. + +"Thank you, Mommy, you are the best. We love you." they said. + +They hugged Mommy, and ran back to the backyard. They put their automobiles in the garage, and then took them out again. They zoomed them on the grass, on the rocks, and on the flowers. They had a lot of fun playing with their automobiles. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat some cheese and crackers. They went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. But the cheese and crackers were too high. They could not reach them. + +"Help, help!" Lily cried. "We need a stool or a chair." + +Tom looked around. He saw a big box in the corner. It had a picture of a new TV on it. He had an idea. + +"Let's use the box!" he said. "It is big and strong. We can stand on it and get the cheese and crackers." + +Lily agreed. They pushed the box to the refrigerator. They climbed on it and opened the door. They grabbed the cheese and crackers and smiled. + +"Yay, we did it!" they cheered. "We are so smart and brave." + +They heard a loud noise. It was their dad. He came into the kitchen and saw them on the box. + +"What are you doing?" he asked. "That is not a stool or a chair. That is our new TV. It is very expensive and fragile. You could break it or hurt yourselves." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not know it was a new TV. They thought it was just a box. + +"We are sorry, dad," they said. "We were hungry and we wanted some cheese and crackers. But they were too high and we could not reach them. So we used the box to help us." + +Dad sighed. He was not angry, but he was worried. He lifted them off the box and hugged them. + +"I understand, my loves," he said. "But you have to be careful and ask me or mom for help next time. We have a stool and a chair in the closet. You can use them to reach the high things. And you can always share our food. We have enough for everyone. We are very lucky and rich." +Lily and Tom love to visit their grandma. She lives far away, so they have to take a train to see her.

Do you want to share with Lily?" mom said. + +"Yes, please. Thank you, mom," Tom said. + +They took out the cookies and juice and ate them. They were yummy and sweet. They gave some to mom, too.

Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily, here you go. We can share," Tom said, giving her a blueberry. + +They ate some more and then decided to take some home for their moms. They put some blueberries in their pockets and started to walk back. + +On the way, they saw a bird in a tree. It was singing a pretty song. + +"Tom, do you know what kind of bird that is?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, I don't. But maybe we can ask mom. She knows a lot about birds. She can teach us," Tom said. + +"Okay, Tom, let's do that. Maybe she can also teach us how to sing like the bird," Lily said. + +They smiled and walked faster. They wanted to get home soon and show their moms the blueberries and learn about the bird. The bird was distant, but they could still hear its song. It made them happy. +Ben and Lily were going to visit their grandma and grandpa at the ranch.

It was still hungry. It saw another bag of popcorn on a bench. It ran to the bench and ate the popcorn. It was a happy ostrich. It liked popcorn. +Sara and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They want to give him a face, but they cannot find anything to use. + +"Look, Ben, I have a colorful glove!" Sara says. She shows Ben a glove with red, blue, and yellow stripes. "We can use this for the snowman's nose!" + +"Good idea, Sara!" Ben says. He takes the glove and puts it on the snowman's face. The glove is long and floppy. It looks funny. + +The snowman is happy. He likes his new nose. He wants to say thank you, but he cannot talk. He can only move. He moves his nose up and down, left and right. He makes Sara and Ben laugh. + +"Hello, snowman!" Sara says. "We are your friends. Do you like your nose?" + +The snowman moves his nose again. He nods. He likes his nose very much. He likes Sara and Ben too. He smiles with his mouth made of coal. He is a colorful snowman. +Sara and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Sara liked the swans. They were white and pretty. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Mom, can I give bread to the swans?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And don't give too much bread. It can make them sick." Mom said. + +Sara nodded and took a piece of bread from Mom. She broke it into small bits and threw them to the swans. The swans came closer and ate the bread. They made soft noises. + +"Look, Ben, the swans like the bread!" Sara said. + +Ben looked at the swans. He saw one swan that was very fat. It had a big belly and a long neck. It ate more bread than the other swans. It looked greedy. + +"Hey, that swan is too fat!" Ben said. "It should share the bread with the other swans. It is not nice to be greedy." + +The fat swan heard Ben. It did not like what he said. It felt angry. It stopped eating the bread. It looked at Ben with its black eyes. It opened its big mouth and hissed. + +"Shoo, shoo, go away, fat swan!" Ben said. He waved his arms and tried to scare the swan. + +But the swan did not go away. It rose from the water and flapped its big wings. It flew towards Ben and tried to bite him. + +"Help, help, Mom, the swan is attacking me!" Ben cried. + +Mom heard Ben and ran to him. She grabbed him and lifted him up. She moved away from the swan. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, I'm okay. But the swan is mean. It tried to hurt me." Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. The swan was probably scared or angry. Maybe it thought you were a threat. You should not call it fat or shoo it. You should be gentle and respectful to the animals." Mom said. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to be rude. I just thought it was unfair that it ate so much bread." Ben said. + +"I understand, Ben. But sometimes animals have different needs and behaviors than us. We should try to learn about them and appreciate them. They are part of nature and they are beautiful." Mom said. + +Sara came to Ben and hugged him. + +"I'm glad you are okay, Ben. I'm sorry the swan scared you. Do you want to feed the ducks instead? They are nice and friendly." Sara said. + +"Okay, Sara. Let's feed the ducks. But not too much bread. We don't want them to get sick or fat." Ben said. + +They smiled and went to the ducks. They fed them some bread and watched them swim and quack. They had fun at the park.

They see a big box on the floor. It has a label that says, "Do not open until Christmas." Lily and Ben are curious. They want to know what is inside the box. + +"Let's open it," Lily says. + +"No, we can't," Ben says. "Mom said it is a surprise." + +"But I want to see," Lily says. She pulls the tape and opens the flap. + +Ben gasps. He sees a shiny bike with a red bow. It is for him. He loves bikes. He wants to ride it. + +Lily sees a doll with a pink dress. It is for her. She loves dolls. She wants to hug it. + +They take out the bike and the doll and play with them. They are happy. They forget about their mom and the label. + +Max sees the box too. He is hungry.

They ask Ben to join them. They say, "Let's be a princess, a dragon, and a knight!" Ben smiles. He says, "Okay, that sounds fun!" They fix the stage and the show. They have fun. Their moms and dads clap and cheer. They are proud. The end. +Tim and Lily love to bake with Mom. They help her mix flour, eggs, milk and sugar in a big bowl. They pour the batter into small cups and put them in the oven. Mom says they are making cupcakes. + +While they wait, Tim and Lily play with their dinosaur toys. Tim has a green dinosaur that roars and bites. Lily has a pink dinosaur that squeaks and hugs. They make them run and jump and fight on the floor. + +"Rawr! My dinosaur is stronger than yours!" Tim says. + +"No, mine is nicer than yours!" Lily says. + +They laugh and have fun, but they play too fast and too hard. They start to feel dizzy and fall down on the couch. + +"Are you okay?" Mom asks, coming out of the kitchen. + +"We are dizzy, Mom," Tim says. + +"We played too much, Mom," Lily says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "You need to rest a little. And guess what? The cupcakes are ready!" + +She brings a tray of warm and yummy cupcakes. They have frosting and sprinkles on top. Tim and Lily each pick one and take a bite. + +"Mmm, these are delicious, Mom!" Tim says. + +"Thank you, Mom, they are wonderful!" Lily says. + +They eat their cupcakes and feel better. They share some with their dinosaurs, too. They are happy and love to bake with Mom. +Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were in a different world. They opened the big wardrobe and went inside. They saw many coats and hats and shoes. + +"Look, Ben, this is a magic wardrobe!" Anna said. "It can take us to a new place." + +"Where do you want to go?" Ben asked. + +"I want to go to a forest with friendly animals," Anna said. "Maybe we can find some food there. I am hungry." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Let's go." + +They pushed the coats aside and walked through the wardrobe. They came out in a bright and green forest. They heard birds singing and saw flowers and trees. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Anna said. "Look, there is a rabbit!" + +A white rabbit was hopping near them. It looked at them with curious eyes. + +"Hello, rabbit," Anna said. "We are Anna and Ben. We are from the wardrobe. Can you be our friend?" + +The rabbit nodded and smiled. It came closer and sniffed them. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben," the rabbit said. "I am Fluffy. I am from the forest. You are welcome here. Do you want to eat some carrots?" + +"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. They liked carrots. + +The rabbit led them to a patch of carrots. They picked some and ate them. They were crunchy and sweet. + +"Thank you, Fluffy," Anna and Ben said. "These are the best carrots ever." + +"You are welcome," Fluffy said. "Do you want to meet my other friends?" + +"Yes, we do," Anna and Ben said. They were happy. + +They followed Fluffy to a clearing. There they saw a deer, a squirrel, a fox, and a bird. They were all friendly and kind. They played and talked and shared their food. + +Anna and Ben had a wonderful time in the forest. They made new friends and ate delicious things. They forgot about the wardrobe and the real world. They were happy in the magic world. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big machine near the fence. It had wheels and buttons and wires. They wanted to see what it did. + +"Let's go look at the machine," Lily said. + +"OK, but be careful," Ben said. + +They ran to the machine and touched it. It made a loud noise and started to move. It shook and spun and flashed. Lily and Ben were scared. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +A man came running from the other side of the fence. He was wearing a white coat and glasses. He had a remote control in his hand. + +"Stop! Stop!" he yelled. He pressed a button and the machine stopped. + +"Are you OK?" he asked Lily and Ben. + +"Yes, we are OK," Lily said. + +"What were you doing with my machine?" the man asked. + +"We were just looking at it," Ben said. + +"That was a very bad idea," the man said. "This is my invention. It is a time machine. It can take you to the past or the future. But it is not ready yet. It is very dangerous. It can make you go crazy." + +Lily and Ben did not understand what the man was saying. They only knew that the machine was scary. + +"Sorry, mister," Lily said. "We won't touch it again." + +"Good," the man said. "Now go back to your parents and don't tell anyone about this. I have to fix my machine." + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran away. They stumbled on the grass and fell down. They laughed and got up. They forgot about the machine and the man. They went back to playing in the park. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs and worms. They had a big bucket to put their finds in. + +"Look, Lily, I found a shiny stone!" Tom said, holding up a pebble. + +"Wow, that's pretty, Tom!" Lily said, smiling. "Can I see?" + +Tom gave her the stone and she put it in the bucket. Then she dug some more and found something else. + +"Tom, Tom, look what I found!" Lily said, excited. "It's a bean!" + +"A bean?" Tom said, puzzled. "What's a bean doing here?" + +"I don't know, but it's green and round and smooth. Maybe it's magic!" Lily said, holding the bean in her hand. + +"Magic? How do you know?" Tom said, curious. + +"Maybe if we plant it, it will grow into a big beanstalk, like in the story!" Lily said, jumping up. "Let's do it, Tom!" + +"Okay, okay, let's do it!" Tom said, agreeing. He took the bean from Lily and looked for a good spot to plant it. + +But as he was walking, he tripped over a root and dropped the bean. It rolled away and fell into a hole. + +"Oh no, Tom, where's the bean?" Lily said, worried. + +"I don't know, Lily, I lost it!" Tom said, looking around. + +They searched and searched, but they could not find the bean. It was too small and too green to see in the dirt. + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They wanted to plant the bean and see what would happen. They sat down on the grass and sighed. + +"Maybe we can find another bean, Tom," Lily said, trying to cheer up. + +"Maybe, Lily, but I don't think so," Tom said, shaking his head. + +They looked at each other and felt angry. They wished they had not lost the bean. They wished they had a magic beanstalk. They wished they had a better day. +Tommy liked to play with his toys in the bathtub. He had a boat, a duck, and a star. The star was his favorite. It was light and shiny. He made it go up and down in the water. He pretended it was a real star in the sky. + +One day, Tommy's mom said, "Time to get out, Tommy. You have been in the bathtub for too long. You need to dry off and get ready for bed." + +"But I want to play with my star more," Tommy said. He did not want to leave the bathtub. He loved his star. + +"Okay, you can play for five more minutes. But then you have to get out, okay?" his mom said. She went to the kitchen to get a towel. + +Tommy was happy. He played with his star more. He made it shine brighter and brighter. He threw it up in the air and caught it. He was having so much fun. + +But then, he threw it too high. The star flew out of the bathtub and landed on the floor. It broke into pieces. Tommy was sad. He cried. He lost his star. + +His mom came back and saw what happened. She hugged Tommy and said, "I'm sorry, Tommy. I know you loved your star. But you have to be careful with your toys. Sometimes, they can break if you play too rough with them. And then you can't play with them anymore." + +Tommy nodded. He understood. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was too excited. I won't do it again." + +His mom smiled. She said, "It's okay, Tommy. I forgive you. Come on, let's get you out of the bathtub and into your pajamas. Maybe we can find another star for you tomorrow." + +Tommy got out of the bathtub and dried off. He put on his pajamas and went to bed. He looked out of the window and saw the real stars in the sky. They were light and shiny. He wished he had one of them. But he knew he couldn't. He had to be happy with what he had. He learned his lesson. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a stream in the park. The stream is shiny and makes a nice sound. + +"Let's play in the stream!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They take off their shoes and socks and run to the stream. They splash and laugh in the water. They have fun. + +But then, a big boy comes to the stream. He is rude. He pushes Tom and Mia and says, "This is my stream! Go away!" + +Tom and Mia are scared and sad. They try to get their shoes and socks, but the big boy kicks them into the stream. He laughs and says, "Ha ha! Now you have nothing!" + +Tom and Mia cry. They have no shoes and socks. They are wet and cold. They run to their moms and tell them what happened. + +Their moms are angry and sad. They hug Tom and Mia and say, "That big boy was very mean. He should not do that. He should share and be nice. You did nothing wrong. You are good friends." + +The big boy is alone in the stream. He has no friends. He is bored and unhappy. He wishes he was not rude. + +The end. + +Moral value: Being rude and selfish makes you lose friends and happiness. Being kind and generous makes you gain friends and happiness. +Sam and Mia like to play games. They have many games in their room. They have cards, puzzles, blocks and a big iron train. The iron train is shiny and heavy. It can make sounds and move on the tracks. + +One day, Sam and Mia decide to play with the iron train. They take turns to be the driver and the passenger. They make the train go fast and slow, and stop at different stations. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +But then, Sam wants to be the driver all the time. He does not let Mia have a turn. He says, "I am the best driver. I can make the train go faster than you. I always win the game." + +Mia is sad and angry. She says, "That is not fair. You have to share the train. It is our game. We can both be good drivers. We can both win the game." + +Sam does not listen. He keeps driving the train and making noises. He does not see that Mia is crying. He does not see that the train is going too fast. He does not see that the track is broken. + +The train hits the broken track and falls off the table. It makes a loud crash and breaks into pieces. Sam and Mia are shocked and scared. They look at the broken train and feel sorry. + +They hug each other and say, "We are sorry. We were not nice to each other. We should have played together. We should have been careful with the train. We love the train. We love each other." + +They pick up the pieces of the train and try to fix it. They are tired and sad. They hope the train will work again. They hope they can play with it again. They hope they can be friends again. +Ben and Lily are twins. They live on a farm with their mom and dad. They like to play with the animals on the farm. They have a dog, a cat, a cow, a pig, and a hen. + +One day, Ben and Lily go to the barn to see the hen. The hen has a nest with four eggs. Ben and Lily are very excited. They want to touch the eggs. They ask their mom if they can. + +"Mom, can we touch the eggs?" Ben says. + +"Be careful, they are very fragile," Mom says. "You can touch them gently, but don't break them." + +Ben and Lily nod. They go to the nest and touch the eggs. The eggs are warm and smooth. They feel nice. + +"Look, this one has a crack!" Lily says. She points to an egg that has a small hole. + +"Maybe it will hatch soon," Ben says. He looks closer at the hole. He sees a tiny beak poking out. + +"Wow, it's a baby chick!" Lily says. She claps her hands. + +The hen makes a loud noise. She is angry. She thinks Ben and Lily are trying to take her baby. She pecks at Ben's hand. Ben cries out. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. He drops the egg. The egg falls to the ground and breaks. The baby chick comes out. It is wet and yellow. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Mom says. She runs to the barn. She sees the broken egg and the baby chick. She picks up the baby chick and wraps it in a soft cloth. She gives it to Lily. + +"Lily, hold this gently. It's very cold and scared," Mom says. + +Lily holds the baby chick. She feels its heartbeat. She strokes its feathers. The baby chick makes a soft sound. It likes Lily. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break the egg," Ben says. He shows Mom his hand. It has a red mark. + +Mom wipes Ben's hand with a wet cloth. She kisses it. + +"It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. The hen was just protecting her baby. She didn't know you were friendly," Mom says. + +"Can I hold the baby chick too?" Ben says. + +"Of course, you can. But be very gentle. It's very fragile," Mom says. + +Mom gives the baby chick to Ben. Ben holds it softly. He smiles. + +The baby chick is happy. It has a new family. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to go on tours with their mom and dad. They see many things and learn new words. Mom and dad are jolly and tell them stories. + +One day, they go to a big park. There are many animals and flowers. Sara and Ben want to see everything. They run and jump and laugh. Mom and dad carry them when they are tired. + +They see a big cage with a lion. The lion is sleeping. Sara and Ben want to see it better. They climb on the fence. Mom and dad tell them to come down. They say it is not safe. + +But Sara and Ben do not listen. They want to touch the lion. They reach out their hands. The lion wakes up. It is angry. It roars and jumps. It grabs Sara and Ben with its teeth and claws. Mom and dad scream and cry. They cannot help them. The lion carries them away. Sara and Ben are scared and hurt. They wish they had listened. They say sorry to mom and dad. But it is too late. The end. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and spears. Spears are long sticks with sharp ends. They can throw them at things. + +One day, Lila and Ben are playing with their spears. They throw them at the fence, the tree, and the flowers. They have fun. But they are not careful. They do not pick up their spears after they throw them. They leave them on the ground. + +The next day, it rains. It rains a lot. The spears get wet. They get dirty. They start to rot. Rot means they get soft and brown and smelly. They are not good to play with anymore. + +Lila and Ben want to play with their spears again. They go to the garden. They look for their spears. But they cannot find them. They are buried under the mud. They are rotten. They are sad. + +Mom comes to the garden. She sees the rotten spears. She is not happy. She says to Lila and Ben, "Why did you leave your spears on the ground? You are lazy. You should have put them away. Now they are ruined. You cannot play with them anymore. You have to throw them away." + +Lila and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were having fun. We forgot to pick up our spears. We will not do it again. We will be more careful with our toys." + +Mom says, "I hope you learned your lesson. Toys are not cheap. You have to take care of them. If you do not, they will rot. And you will have no toys to play with." + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will take care of our toys. We will put them away when we are done playing. We will not be lazy." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I love you, Lila and Ben. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies." + +Lila and Ben smile. They say, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for the cookies." They hug Mom. They go inside. They have some cookies. They are happy. +Sam liked to write letters to his friends. He used a big pencil and a white paper. He wrote his name and some words he knew. He drew pictures of his toys and his family. He was very proud of his letters. + +But Sam did not have stamps or envelopes. He did not know how to send his letters. He asked his mom for help. His mom said, "We can go to the post office tomorrow and buy some stamps and envelopes. Then you can mail your letters to your friends." + +Sam did not want to wait. He wanted his friends to get his letters today. He looked out of the window and saw a pigeon on the roof. He had an idea. He said, "Mom, can I use the pigeon to send my letters?" + +His mom was surprised. She said, "A pigeon? That is a very unusual way to send letters. How will you do that?" + +Sam said, "I will tie my letters to the pigeon's leg. Then I will tell the pigeon where to go. The pigeon will fly to my friends and give them my letters." + +His mom smiled. She said, "That is a very creative idea, Sam. But I don't think the pigeon will do what you want. Pigeons are not trained to carry letters. They might get lost or drop your letters. And your friends might not know that the letters are from you. They might think that the pigeon is a pest and shoo it away." + +Sam was sad. He said, "But I want to send my letters now. I want to make my friends happy." + +His mom hugged him. She said, "I know, Sam. But sometimes we have to be patient and do things the right way. Your friends will be happy to get your letters tomorrow. And they will appreciate that you took the time and effort to write them. That is what makes a good friend." + +Sam understood. He said, "OK, mom. I will wait until tomorrow. Thank you for helping me." + +His mom said, "You're welcome, Sam. I love you." + +They put the letters in a safe place. They fed the pigeon some bread crumbs. They said goodbye to the pigeon and thanked it for being a good bird. Then they went inside to play. + +The moral of the story is: Be patient and do things the right way. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big flag on a pole. The flag is red and white and blue. It moves in the wind. + +"Look, a flag!" Anna says. "I want to touch it!" + +"No, Anna, you can't touch the flag!" Ben says. "It is not for touching. It is for looking." + +But Anna does not listen. She runs to the flag and tries to pull it down. She is very curious. + +"Anna, stop!" Ben shouts. "You are being bad!" + +But it is too late. Anna pulls too hard and the flag falls off the pole. It lands on the ground. Anna and Ben are shocked. + +"Oh no, what have you done?" Ben says. "You broke the flag! You are in trouble!" + +Anna feels sorry. She did not mean to break the flag. She just wanted to touch it. She starts to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry!" Anna says. "I didn't know it would break. I was just curious. Please don't be mad at me!" + +Ben sees that Anna is sorry. He is not mad at her. He is her friend. He hugs her and says: + +"It's okay, Anna, I'm not mad at you. You made a mistake. But you have to be careful. You can't touch everything you see. Some things are not for touching. They are special or fragile or dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Anna nods. She understands. She says: + +"I understand, Ben. I will be careful. I will not touch things that are not for touching. I will only look at them. Thank you for being my friend." + +Ben smiles. He says: + +"You're welcome, Anna. You are my friend too. Come on, let's go and find someone to help us fix the flag. Maybe they will not be too angry with us if we say we are sorry." + +Anna and Ben hold hands and walk to find help. They hope the flag can be fixed. They learned a lesson today. They will not touch the flag again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play hide and seek in the park. Lily is good at hiding. She can hide behind trees, under benches, and in bushes. Ben is not so good at hiding. He is big and heavy. He makes a lot of noise when he runs and breathes. + +One day, they see a big shiny car in the park. It has a lot of gold and jewels on it. It looks very rich. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see who owns the car. They sneak closer to the car. They see a man and a woman get out of the car. They are wearing fancy clothes and hats. They look very rich too. + +The man and the woman walk away from the car. They do not lock the car. They do not see Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben have an idea. They decide to hide in the car. They think it will be fun. They run to the car and open the door. They climb inside the car. They close the door. They look around the car. They see a lot of things in the car. They see bags, boxes, books, and toys. They see a big cake on the seat. They see a small dog on the floor. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They think they have found a treasure. They start to play with the things in the car. They try on the hats and the clothes. They read the books and the toys. They eat some of the cake. They pet the dog. They do not hear the man and the woman come back to the car. They do not hear the man and the woman open the door. They do not see the man and the woman look at them with angry faces. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They think they have done something bad. They want to run away. But they are too late. The man and the woman grab them by the arms. They pull them out of the car. They shout at them. They ask them who they are and what they are doing. They tell them they are thieves and liars. They tell them they will call the police. + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say they are sorry. They say they were only playing. They say they did not mean to take anything. They say they did not know the car was theirs. They say they are not thieves and liars. They say they are just friends. They say they like to play hide and seek. They say they will never do it again. + +The man and the woman are still angry. But they are also surprised. They look at Lily and Ben. They see they are just children. They see they are not rich. They see they are not wearing fancy clothes and hats. They see they are wearing old and dirty clothes and shoes. They see they are hungry and sad. They see they have nothing. + +The man and the woman are quiet. They think about what they have done. They think about what they have said. They think about what they have. They think about what they need. They think about what is important. They think about what is fair. They think about what is kind. + +The man and the woman are sorry too. They say they are sorry. They say they were too harsh. They say they did not understand. They say they will not call the police. They say they will let them go. They say they will give them something. They say they will give them some of the cake. They say they will give them some of the toys. They say they will give them some of the money. They say they will give them a ride home. They say they will be their friends. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They say thank you. They say they are grateful. They say they are lucky. They say they are happy. They hug the man and the woman. They hug the dog. They get in the car. They drive away. They wave goodbye. They smile. They have learned something. They have learned to be careful. They have learned to be honest. They have learned to be generous. They have learned to be kind. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a soft bear. She hugged her bear every night and told him stories. + +One day, Lily got an invitation in the mail. It was from her friend Sam, who invited her to his birthday party. Lily was happy and excited. She wanted to go to the party and have fun with Sam and the other kids. + +But then she thought of her bear. She did not want to leave him alone at home. She loved her bear so much. She decided to take him to the party with her. She put him in her backpack and got ready to go. + +When she arrived at the party, she saw Sam and the other kids playing games and eating cake. They looked happy and friendly. Lily wanted to join them, but she was afraid to leave her bear. She stayed in a corner and held her backpack tight. + +Sam saw Lily and came to say hello. He asked her why she was not playing with the others. Lily said she was shy and did not want to leave her bear. Sam smiled and said he understood. He said he also had a soft toy that he loved, a rabbit. He said he brought his rabbit to the party too, and showed it to Lily. Lily was surprised and happy. She opened her backpack and showed her bear to Sam. Sam said they were both very cute and soft. + +Sam invited Lily to play with him and his rabbit. He said they could share their toys and have fun together. Lily agreed and followed Sam. They played games and ate cake with the other kids. They had a lot of fun and made new friends. + +Lily learned that it was good to love her bear, but it was also good to share and play with others. She learned that she could be brave and friendly, and still keep her bear close. She thanked Sam for his invitation and his kindness. She gave him a hug and said he was a good friend. Sam hugged her back and said she was a good friend too. They smiled and waved goodbye. Lily went home happy and proud. She hugged her bear and told him about the party. She said he was the best bear in the world, and she was the luckiest girl. +Tom was a friendly dog who lived with his family on a farm. He liked to run and play with the other animals, but his favorite thing was to eat steak. Every day, his family gave him a big piece of steak for dinner, and he was very happy. + +One day, Tom saw a new animal on the farm. It was a big, brown cow with horns and a long tail. Tom was curious and wanted to say hello, but the cow did not look friendly. She mooed loudly and stamped her feet, and Tom felt scared. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked the cow. + +"I am Bessie, and this is my home now," the cow said. "Your family bought me from the market, and they are going to make steak out of me." + +Tom did not believe the cow. He thought she was lying to make him go away. He loved his family, and he knew they would never hurt an animal. + +"That's not true," Tom said. "My family is kind and good. They give me steak every day, and they love me. They would never make steak out of you." + +The cow laughed and shook her head. "You are a silly dog," she said. "You don't know where steak comes from, do you? Steak is cow meat, and I am a cow. Soon, your family will take me to the barn, and then you will never see me again." + +Tom felt confused and sad. He did not want to lose his new friend, but he also did not want to stop eating steak. He did not know what to do. + +The next day, Tom did not see the cow on the farm. He looked everywhere, but he could not find her. He asked the other animals, but they did not know where she was. He hoped she was hiding somewhere, and that she would come back soon. + +That night, his family gave him a big piece of steak for dinner, as usual. Tom smelled the steak, and it smelled good. But he also remembered the cow, and her words. He wondered if the steak was really her meat, and if she was gone forever. + +Tom did not feel hungry anymore. He pushed the steak away, and lay down on his bed. He wished he could see the cow again, and tell her he was sorry. He wished he could believe that steak was not cow meat, and that his family was not bad. He wished he could be happy again. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun making noises and stories with their toys. + +"Look, my doll can dance and sing!" Lily said, moving her doll around. + +"That's funny, but my car can go fast and make loud sounds!" Tom said, zooming his car on the floor. + +They played for a while, then Lily saw a shiny necklace on the table. It was Mom's necklace. She liked how it sparkled and wanted to try it on. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked, reaching for the necklace. + +"That's Mom's necklace. You can't touch it. It has value." Tom said, stopping her. + +"What is value?" Lily asked, confused. + +Tom shrugged. He didn't know what value meant, but he heard Mom say it before. He thought it meant something important or special. + +"Value means it's not for playing. It's for Mom only. She will be mad if you touch it." Tom said, trying to sound smart. + +Lily frowned. She didn't like that. She wanted to touch the necklace. It looked so pretty and fun. + +"But I want to see it. Just for a little bit. Please?" Lily begged, making a sad face. + +Tom shook his head. He didn't want to get in trouble. He liked his car more than the necklace anyway. + +"No, Lily. Leave it alone. Let's play with our toys. They are more fun." Tom said, grabbing his car. + +Lily sighed. She looked at the necklace one more time, then followed Tom. She picked up her doll and pretended to dance and sing again. But she still wondered what value meant. And why Mom had it and she didn't. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big jar of peanuts in the kitchen. They wanted to eat some, but they did not know if they were allowed. + +"Let's ask Mom," Tom said. + +"No, let's not. She will say no. Let's just take some and hide them," Lily said. + +She was very creative and had a plan. She took a big handful of peanuts and put them in her pocket. Then she told Tom to do the same. They ran to the backyard and looked for a good place to eat their peanuts. + +But they did not see that Mom was watching them from the window. She saw them take the peanuts and run away. She was not happy. She followed them to the backyard and called them. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. + +They turned around and saw Mom. They felt scared and guilty. They did not know what to say. + +"Mom, we..." Tom started. + +"We found some peanuts and we wanted to eat them," Lily said quickly. + +She hoped Mom would not be too angry. + +Mom looked at them and shook her head. + +"Peanuts are not for you. They are for Dad. He needs them for his work. He makes peanut butter with them. If you eat them, he will not have enough. And you did not ask me. You took them without permission. That is not nice. That is stealing," she said. + +She was very serious and stern. + +Tom and Lily felt very sorry. They realized they had done something wrong. They did not want to make Mom and Dad sad. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know. We did not mean to steal. We were just hungry and curious. Please forgive us," they said. + +They gave Mom the peanuts they had in their pockets. They looked at her with big eyes and hoped she would not be too mad. + +Mom sighed and hugged them. + +"I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. Next time, if you want something, you have to ask me first. And you have to tell me the truth. Do you understand?" she said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. + +"Yes, Mom. We understand. We promise. We will ask you and tell you the truth. Always," they said. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. + +"Good. I love you. Now, let's go inside and have some lunch. I have something better than peanuts for you. I have sandwiches and cookies. How does that sound?" she said. + +Tom and Lily smiled and cheered. + +"Yay! That sounds great! Thank you, Mom!" they said. + +They held Mom's hand and went inside. They learned their lesson. They learned that stealing is bad and that telling the truth is good. They learned to be honest and respectful. And they learned to enjoy their food. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird in the sky. The bird is black and white and has a long neck. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Ben says. He points at the bird. "What is that?" + +Lily looks at the bird. She does not know what it is. She is confused. She shakes her head. + +"I don't know, Ben. It is not a duck. It is not a crow. It is not a pigeon. What is it?" + +They hear a voice behind them. It is their mom. She is smiling. + +"That is a goose, kids. A goose. It is a kind of bird that can fly and swim. Sometimes they make a loud noise like this: honk, honk!" + +She makes the noise with her mouth. Lily and Ben laugh. They try to make the noise too. + +"Honk, honk, honk!" they say. + +The goose hears them. It looks at them. It flaps its wings. It flies away. + +"Bye, bye, goose!" Lily and Ben say. They wave their hands. They are happy. They learned a new word today. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they want to play with rubber ducks. They have many rubber ducks of different colors and sizes. + +They go to the bathroom and fill the tub with water. They prepare the rubber ducks for the bath. They put them in the water and make them swim. They say "quack, quack" and splash each other. + +"Look, Mia, I have a huge rubber duck!" Tom says. He shows Mia a yellow rubber duck that is bigger than his head. "It is the king of the ducks!" + +"Wow, Tom, that is a huge rubber duck!" Mia says. She likes the big duck. She wants to play with it. "Can I hold it, please?" + +"Okay, Mia, you can hold it. But be careful, it is heavy!" Tom says. He gives Mia the huge rubber duck. Mia holds it with both hands and smiles. + +They play with the huge rubber duck and the other rubber ducks. They have fun in the bath. They are happy friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They are four years old. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a toy truck. Anna wants to drive it, but Ben says it is his. + +"Give me the truck!" Anna yells. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben yells back. + +They pull the truck from each other. They are very angry. They do not want to share. + +Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. + +"Stop it, Anna and Ben!" Mom says. "You are making a lot of noise. You are waking up your infant brother. He is sleeping in the crib." + +Anna and Ben look at the crib. They see their brother. He is very small. He has a cute face. He is quiet. + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben say. + +Mom smiles. She takes the truck from them. She says, "You need to learn how to share. Sharing is nice. Fighting is not. I will separate the truck into two parts. You can each have one part. Then you can play together again." + +She breaks the truck into two pieces. She gives one piece to Anna and one piece to Ben. They look at the pieces. They are not happy. The pieces are not fun. They are terrible. + +"Mom, this is not fair!" Anna and Ben say. "We want the whole truck!" + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "This is what happens when you fight. You lose the whole thing. Maybe next time you will think before you fight. Now, say sorry to each other and hug." + +Anna and Ben say sorry to each other. They hug. They look at their brother. He is still sleeping. They are quiet. They do not want to wake him up. They decide to play with something else. They hope Mom will fix the truck later. They learn a lesson. +Tim hurt his knee when he fell off his bike. He cried and ran to his mom. His mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tim. Let me see your knee." She looked at his knee and saw a small cut. She said, "You need a bandage to make it better. Come with me." + +She took him to the bathroom and got a bandage from the cabinet. She cleaned his cut with some water and put the bandage on his knee. She said, "There, all done. How do you feel?" Tim looked at his knee and smiled. He said, "Thank you, mom. It feels better now." + +His mom said, "You're welcome, Tim. You're very brave. Do you want a hug?" Tim nodded and hugged his mom. He said, "I love you, mom." His mom said, "I love you too, Tim." + +They went to the living room and saw Tim's sister, Lisa, playing with her dolls. She saw Tim's bandage and said, "What happened to your knee, Tim?" Tim said, "I fell off my bike and got a cut. Mom gave me a bandage." Lisa said, "Can I see your bandage?" Tim said, "Okay." He showed her his bandage. + +Lisa said, "Ew, that's disgusting. Your bandage is dirty and red. You need a new one." Tim said, "No, I don't. Mom said it's okay. It's not disgusting. It's cool." Lisa said, "No, it's not. It's gross. You should take it off." Tim said, "No, I won't. It helps my knee. You're mean, Lisa." + +Lisa said, "Fine, be that way. I don't want to play with you anyway. You're boring, Tim." She turned away and played with her dolls. Tim said, "I don't care. I don't want to play with you either. You're rude, Lisa." He turned away and played with his toy car. + +Their mom heard them arguing and said, "Hey, kids, stop fighting. Why don't you play nicely together?" Tim and Lisa said, "No, we don't want to." Their mom said, "That's not nice. You're brother and sister. You should love each other and share your toys." Tim and Lisa said, "No, we don't have to." + +Their mom said, "Yes, you do. Or else you won't get any dessert tonight." Tim and Lisa said, "What? No dessert?" Their mom said, "That's right. No dessert unless you make up and clap your hands." Tim and Lisa looked at each other and said, "Fine." They made up and clapped their hands. Their mom said, "Good. Now you can have dessert. What do you want?" Tim and Lisa said, "Ice cream!" Their mom said, "Okay. Let's go to the kitchen and get some ice cream." Tim and Lisa said, "Yay!" They followed their mom to the kitchen and forgot about their fight. They ate their ice cream and were happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It looks like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at the balloon!" Anna says. She points to the sky. + +"Where is it going?" Ben asks. He gazes at the balloon. He wants to go with it. + +"I don't know. Maybe to the east," Anna says. She knows the east is where the sun comes up. She learned that from her mom. + +"Can we go to the east too?" Ben says. He likes to explore new places. + +"Maybe someday. But not today," Anna says. She holds Ben's hand. "Today we have to stay here. Mom and dad will be back soon. They will bring us ice cream." + +Ben smiles. He likes ice cream. He still gazes at the balloon. He hopes it will have a good trip. + +Anna smiles too. She hugs Ben. She likes to be with him. They are calm and happy. They watch the balloon until it is out of sight. +Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to dig holes and make castles with the sand. They also liked to look for shells and stones that were shiny or pretty. Sometimes they saw crabs and fish in the water, but they were careful not to go too far. + +One day, they found a big bottle that had something inside. They were curious and wanted to see what it was. They pulled the cork out and saw a piece of paper. It had some words on it, but they could not read them. They asked their mom, who was sitting on a towel nearby, to help them. + +Mom looked at the paper and said, "Oh, this is a message from someone who is in trouble. They are on a boat that is broken and they need help. They say they have no food or water, only salt. They hope someone will find their message and rescue them." + +Tom and Lily felt sad and scared for the person who wrote the message. They wondered who they were and where they were. They wanted to help them. They asked their mom, "Can we do something, mom? Can we rescue them?" + +Mom hugged them and said, "You are very kind and brave, my darlings. But we don't know where they are or when they wrote this. It could be very far away or a long time ago. The best thing we can do is to pray for them and hope they are safe. Maybe someone else has found them and rescued them already." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We will pray for them and hope they are safe." They put the message back in the bottle and put the cork back on. They decided to keep the bottle as a reminder of the person who was in trouble. They hoped they would never be in such a situation. They thanked God for their mom and their home and their food and water. They played some more on the beach and had a happy day. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have a big blanket that they use to make a fort. They put the blanket over the sofa and the chairs. They crawl under the blanket and pretend they are in a castle. + +One day, their mom comes home from work. She sees the blanket fort and smiles. She walks over to the sofa and says, "Hello, my little princes and princesses. Can I come in your castle?" + +Lily and Max peek out from under the blanket. They say, "Yes, mom, you can come in. But you have to sit on the floor. The sofa is our throne." + +Mom laughs and says, "Okay, I will sit on the floor. But can I have a hug first?" She bends down and opens her arms. Lily and Max crawl out of the fort and hug their mom. They say, "We love you, mom. We made this fort for you." + +Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too, my sweeties. You made a very nice fort. I am very proud of you." She kisses them on their cheeks and says, "Can I see your toys?" + +Lily and Max nod and say, "Yes, mom, come and see. We have a lot of toys." They take their mom's hand and lead her under the blanket. They show her their dolls, cars, books, and puzzles. They play together and have fun. They are happy and cozy in their blanket fort. +Tom likes to print pictures of animals on his sheet of paper. He has a big box of crayons and he colors the pictures with different colors. He likes to show his pictures to his mom and dad and they say he is very good at printing. + +One day, Tom wants to print a picture of a lion. He finds a picture of a lion in his book and he puts his sheet of paper on top of it. He tries to copy the lion with his crayon, but it is hard. He presses too hard and he makes a hole in his sheet of paper. He also makes a hole in his book. He is very sad and he cries. + +Mom hears Tom crying and she comes to see what is wrong. She sees the hole in the sheet of paper and the hole in the book. She is not happy. She says to Tom, "Tom, what did you do? You ruined your sheet of paper and your book. You should not print on top of books. You should print on a blank sheet of paper. You should be careful with your crayons. You should be ashamed of yourself." + +Tom feels very ashamed. He says to Mom, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to print a lion, but I couldn't. I made a mess. I didn't mean to hurt the book. I love the book. Can you fix it?" + +Mom hugs Tom and she says, "It's okay, Tom. I know you didn't mean to hurt the book. But you have to learn from your mistake. Next time, you should print on a blank sheet of paper and you should be gentle with your crayons. I can try to fix the book, but it will not be the same. You have to be more careful with your things." +
