She thinks he will find it funny. She thinks he will smile and say, "That is a good joke, Mia. You are very clever." + +But Mr. Lee does not laugh. He does not smile. He does not say anything. He just looks at Mia with a serious face. He says, "Spaghetti is not stretchy, Mia. It is made of flour and water and eggs. It is a type of pasta. It is a food, not a toy." + +Mia feels sad. She thinks Mr. Lee is mean. She thinks he does not like spaghetti. She thinks he does not like her. She does not want to eat anymore. She pushes her plate away and says, "I don't like you, Mr. Lee.

She saw blood on his head. She was scared. She called for help. + +"Help! Help! Tim is hurt. He climbed on the broken cross and got a boo-boo. Please help him," Mia shouted. + +A lady who was walking her dog heard Mia. She came to them and saw Tim. She took out her phone and called 911. She told them what happened and where they were.

You might fall!" she said. + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to join Lily on the roof. He climbed higher and higher. He was almost there. + +But then, the ladder broke. It snapped and crashed. Tom fell to the ground. He landed on the grass. He was not hurt, but he was scared and sad. + +He started to cry. He wanted his mom. He requested his mom. + +"Mom, mom, help me! I fell from the ladder!" he shouted. + +Lily heard him. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him. She requested help too. + +"Mom, mom, come quick! Tom fell from the ladder!" she shouted. + +Mom heard them. She ran to the garden. She saw Tom on the ground and Lily on the roof. She was worried too. + +She hugged Tom and checked him.

You are a kind princess." + +They shared the mint and enjoyed the taste. They smiled at each other and continued their game. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. It sounded like a roar. They looked at the window and saw a big, scary dragon. It had red scales, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth. It was breathing fire and smoke. + +"Help! Help!" Sara and Ben shouted. They were fearful of the dragon. They hugged each other and ran to the sofa. They hid behind the cushions and hoped the dragon would go away. + +"Where are Mom and Dad?" Sara asked, trembling. + +"I don't know," Ben said, trying to be brave. "Maybe they went to the store. They will be back soon. Don't worry, Sara. We will be okay." + +They waited for a long time, holding each other. They heard the dragon roar again and again. They wished they had a real knight to save them. + +Then, they heard another noise. It was the sound of a car. They peeked from behind the cushions and saw Mom and Dad coming home. They had bags of groceries in their hands. + +"Mom! Dad!" Sara and Ben cried. They ran to the door and hugged them. They told them about the dragon and how fearful they were. + +"Dragon?" Mom and Dad said, looking confused. "What dragon?" + +They looked outside and saw the dragon. It was not a real dragon. It was a big balloon that someone had tied to a tree. It was moving with the wind and making noises. + +"Oh, you silly kids," Mom said, laughing. "That's not a dragon. That's a balloon. Someone must have left it there for a party. It's not scary at all. It's just a toy." + +Sara and Ben felt silly too. They laughed with Mom and Dad. They realized they had been afraid of nothing. They were not fearful anymore. + +They went back to the living room and played with their toys.

They were very sad and angry. + +"Tom and Anna, what did you do?" Mom asked. + +"We opened the box and found books. We don't like books!" Tom said. + +"Books are amazing! They can teach you many things and take you to different places. You should be grateful and respectful of them!" Dad said. + +"But we wanted toys or cake!" Anna said. + +"Toys and cake are nice, but they don't last long. Books can last forever and make you smarter and happier. You should apologize and pick up the books!" Mom said. + +Tom and Anna realized they were wrong. They said sorry and helped to clean up the books.

You could hurt yourself more." + +Mom picks up Lily and takes her to the kitchen. She puts some ice on Lily's knee and gives her a glass of milk. She says, "Do you still want to taste the honey?" Lily nods. Mom says, "Okay, but only a little bit. Too much honey is not good for you. And you need to wash your hands and face after. Honey can make your hair sticky and messy." + +Mom opens the jar of honey and spoons some on a piece of bread. She gives it to Lily and says, "Here you go. Taste it slowly and enjoy it."

I just wanted to drive. I wanted to be independent." Mom and Dad hug Tom. They say, "We know, Tom, we know. But you have to wait until you are older. Driving is not a game. It is serious. You can be independent in other ways. You can help us with chores. You can choose your clothes. You can make your own sandwich. But you cannot drive the car." + +Tom nods. He says, "OK, Mom, OK, Dad. I understand. I will not drive the car again. Can I have some meat for lunch? I am hungry." Mom and Dad smile. They say, "Sure, Tom, sure. You can have some meat. You are a good boy.

He is just playing." + +Tom and Sue looked again and they saw that mom was right. The giant was not a giant. He was a man in a costume. He was smiling and waving. He said, "Sorry, kids. I didn't mean to scare you. I was just having some fun. You can come and watch my show if you want. It is about a friendly giant who helps people. Do you want to see it?" + +Tom and Sue said, "Yes, please. We want to see it. Thank you, Mr. Giant. You are not terrible. You are nice." + +Mom said, "Okay, then. Let's go and watch the show. But remember, you have to behave. No more fighting or yelling or running away. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sue said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will behave, we promise." + +And they did.

Let's go to the swings and then to the sandbox." + +They went to the swings and then to the sandbox. They shared their toys and laughed. Their mom came to pick them up.

You should respect your sister's feelings and choices. And I'm proud of you, Lily, for standing up for yourself and forgiving your brother.

I am hungry." + +Anna said, "OK, let's go to the kitchen. Maybe mom has some tasty cookies for us." + +They went to the kitchen with Lily. Mom had baked some chocolate chip cookies. They smelled good. Mom gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. They said, "Thank you, mom! These cookies are very tasty!" + +They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They were happy. But they forgot about Lily. Lily was on the table. She was near the milk. The milk spilled. The milk wet Lily's dress. The milk spoiled Lily's dress. + +Anna saw Lily's dress. She was sad. She said, "Oh no, Lily's dress is spoiled! The milk ruined it! It is not pretty anymore!" + +Mom saw Anna's face. She said, "Don't worry, Anna. It is OK. We can wash Lily's dress and dry it. It will be clean and pretty again. It was an accident. It happens sometimes." + +Anna said, "Really, mom? Can you fix Lily's dress?" + +Mom said, "Yes, Anna, I can. Come on, let's go to the laundry room. We will wash Lily's dress together. And then we can sew something else with the pink thread and cloth. Maybe a hat or a scarf or a bag.

We designed this ladder to visit you." + +The bird nodded and smiled. It was not afraid of them. It liked their ladder. It shared some worms with them.

Her mom said yes, and helped her get closer to the clown. + +"Hello, Mr. Clown," Lila said. "Why are you so sad? Do you want some candy?" + +The clown looked at Lila with surprise. He saw her sweet smile and her bright eyes. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He took the candy from Lila and said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. I am sad because I have no friends.

We can make a pile for red clothes and a pile for blue clothes. We can make a pile for warm clothes and a pile for cool clothes." + +Lily says, "That is a good idea. But what about this shirt? It is not red or blue. It is brown." + +Max says, "Hmm, I don't know. Maybe we can make a pile for brown clothes too." + +Lily says, "But we only have one brown shirt.

She dreamed of flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, and playing with animals. Every night, she would close her eyes and imagine her dream. + +One night, she dreamed of a big bird.

I always wanted to fly." + +The bird smiled and said, "Then hold on to my tail and I will take you to the sky." + +Lila did as the bird said and grabbed his tail.

You are very kind and fun. This is the best dream ever." + +The bird said, "You are welcome, Lila. I am glad you like it. But now it is time to go back. The sun is coming and you have to wake up." + +Lila said, "Oh, no. I don't want to leave. Can I stay with you?" + +The bird said, "No, Lila. You have to go back to your bed and your family. They love you and miss you. But don't worry, you can always dream of me again. I will be here waiting for you." + +Lila said, "Okay, bird. I will dream of you again. Goodbye and thank you." + +The bird said, "Goodbye and sweet dreams, Lila." + +The bird flew back to Lila's house and gently put her on her bed. Lila opened her eyes and saw the sun shining through her window. She smiled and remembered her dream. She said, "That was a wonderful dream. I hope I see the bird again."

You have a big imagination and a big heart." +Tom and Mia liked to play in the woods behind their house. They liked to look for bugs, climb trees and make mud pies. One day, they found a stream that they had never seen before. It was clear and cold and made a nice sound. + +"Let's follow the stream and see where it goes," Tom said. + +"OK, but we have to be back before lunch," Mia said. + +They walked along the stream, jumping over rocks and sticks. They saw fish, frogs and birds. They wondered what else they would find. + +Soon, they came to a place where the stream went under a bridge. The bridge was made of stone and had thick vines growing on it. It looked old and dark. + +"Wow, look at that bridge," Tom said. "Do you think we can go under it?" + +"I don't know, it looks scary," Mia said. "Maybe there are monsters under it." + +Tom laughed. "Don't be silly, there are no monsters. Come on, let's go and see." + +He ran towards the bridge, but Mia stayed behind. She was afraid of what might be under the bridge. She wondered if Tom was right or if he was wrong. She wondered if she should follow him or wait for him. + +She heard Tom's voice from under the bridge. He sounded excited. + +"Mia, Mia, come here! You have to see this!" + +Mia hesitated. She wanted to see what Tom had found, but she was still scared. She wondered if she should be brave or be safe. She wondered what would happen next. +Sara and Ben like to play games. They have many games at home, but they also like to go to the park. There are many vendors at the park who sell toys and snacks. Sara and Ben like to try the games that the vendors have. + +One day, they see a vendor who has a big wheel. The wheel has many colors and pictures on it. The vendor says, "Spin the wheel and win a prize! Only one coin to play!" Sara and Ben want to play. They give the vendor a coin each and spin the wheel. + +Sara's wheel stops on a red star. The vendor gives her a big teddy bear. Sara is very happy. She hugs the teddy bear and says, "Thank you, vendor! I love my prize!" + +Ben's wheel stops on a dull gray circle. The vendor gives him a small rock. Ben is very sad. He looks at the rock and says, "This is not a prize! This is a bad rock!" + +The vendor says, "Sorry, kid. That's the game. You can't win every time. Maybe next time you'll be lucky." + +Sara feels sorry for Ben. She says, "Don't be sad, Ben. You can share my teddy bear. We can play with it together." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good sister. I like your teddy bear." + +Sara and Ben hug each other and the teddy bear. They walk away from the vendor and the wheel. They are happy. They have each other and a new toy. They don't need a bad rock. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big butterfly with many colors on its wings. They wanted to look at it more closely. + +"Let's catch it!" Ben said. He ran after the butterfly with a net. + +"No, don't!" Anna said. She followed him. "Butterflies are delicate. You might hurt it." + +Ben did not listen. He swung the net and caught the butterfly. He was happy. He showed it to Anna. + +"See, I got it!" he said. He opened the net and examined the butterfly. He touched its wings with his fingers. + +Anna was sad. She saw that the butterfly's wings had some holes and tears. She saw that the butterfly was not moving. + +"Ben, you broke it!" she said. She took the butterfly from him. She wrapped it in a sheet. She hoped it would get better. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. He felt bad. He did not mean to break the butterfly. He did not know it was so delicate. + +They took the butterfly to their mom. She told them that butterflies are living things that need to be gentle with. She told them that they could not fix the butterfly, but they could bury it in the garden and say a prayer for it. + +Anna and Ben learned a lesson. They buried the butterfly and said they were sorry. They decided to only look at butterflies from far away. They promised to be kind to all living things. +Sara was a princess who liked to cry a lot. She cried when she did not get what she wanted. She cried when she had to share her toys. She cried when she had to go to bed. Her mom and dad, the king and queen, were very sad. They tried to make her happy, but she always cried. + +One day, Sara saw a big, shiny ball in the garden. She wanted to play with it. She ran to get it, but she saw a boy holding it. The boy was Ben, the gardener's son. He was very poor, but very happy. He smiled at Sara and said, "Do you want to play with me?" + +Sara did not want to play with Ben. She wanted the ball for herself. She snatched the ball from his hands and said, "No, this is mine! Go away!" Ben was very hurt. He did not cry, but he walked away sadly. + +Sara played with the ball for a while, but she soon got bored. She threw the ball away and looked for something else. She saw a beautiful doll in the window of the castle. She wanted the doll. She ran to get it, but she saw a girl holding it. The girl was Lily, the cook's daughter. She was very kind, but very shy. She looked at Sara and said, "Do you want to play with me?" + +Sara did not want to play with Lily. She wanted the doll for herself. She grabbed the doll from her arms and said, "No, this is mine! Go away!" Lily was very scared. She did not cry, but she ran away quickly. + +Sara played with the doll for a while, but she soon got tired. She threw the doll away and looked for something else. She saw a big, fluffy bear in the corner of the room. She wanted the bear. She ran to get it, but she saw a baby holding it. The baby was Tom, the nurse's son. He was very cute, but very noisy.

She had made everyone go away. She had no friends. She had no fun. She had nothing. She realized she had been very mean and very selfish. She felt very sorry. She started to cry. + +She cried and cried, but no one came. She cried until she heard a voice. It was her mom. She had heard her cry. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara holding the bear and crying. She said, "Sara, what happened? Why are you crying?" + +Sara looked at her mom and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was very bad. I took everyone's toys and made them go away. I have no friends. I have no fun. I have nothing. Please, help me." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Sara, I'm glad you're sorry. You were very bad. You hurt everyone's feelings and made them sad. You have to learn to share and be kind. You have to say sorry and make up. Then, you can have friends. Then, you can have fun. Then, you can have something." + +Sara nodded and said, "Mom, you're right. I want to share and be kind. I want to say sorry and make up. I want to have friends. I want to have fun. I want to have something. Can you help me?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, I can help you. Come on, let's go find everyone and say sorry. Let's go play with them and have fun. Let's go be a good princess and a good person." + +Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. You're the best." + +They held hands and walked out of the room.

She learned to +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big spoon in the kitchen. They decided to use it as a toy and pretend it was a shovel or a sword. + +"Look, I can dig a hole with the spoon!" Lily said, and scraped the spoon on the floor. + +"Let me try!" Tom said, and grabbed the spoon from Lily's hand. + +"No, it's my turn!" Lily said, and pulled the spoon back. + +They started to fight over the spoon, and did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop and share. + +"Be patient, kids. You can both play with the spoon, but you have to take turns and say thank you," their mom said. + +But Lily and Tom did not want to be patient. They wanted the spoon all for themselves. They pulled and pushed and shouted, until the spoon broke in half. + +"Oh no, look what you did!" Lily said, and started to cry. + +"It's your fault!" Tom said, and started to cry too. + +Their mom came and saw the broken spoon and the crying twins. She was very angry and sad. + +"You are very naughty, kids. You did not listen to me, and you did not share. You broke the spoon, and now we have to throw it away. You can't play with it anymore, and you can't have any dessert either. Go to your room and think about what you did," their mom said. + +Lily and Tom felt very sorry, but it was too late. They had to go to their room, without the spoon and without dessert.

He saw apples, bananas, cookies, cheese, and bread. + +"Mom, can I have some cookies?" Sam asked. + +"No, Sam, cookies are not good for you. You need to eat healthy food. We have some at home. You can have a cookie later, after dinner," Mom said. + +Sam was not happy. He wanted cookies now. He saw a big jar of cookies on a shelf. He reached for it. But the jar was too high. He could not get it. He tried to climb on the shelf. But the shelf was not strong. It started to shake. The jar fell down. It broke on the floor. Cookies and glass went everywhere. + +"Oh no, Sam, what did you do?" Mom said. She was angry and scared. She ran to Sam. She checked if he was hurt. He was not hurt. But he was very sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted a cookie. I was hungry," Sam said. + +"I know, Sam. But you can't be crazy at the grocery store. You can't break things. You can't hurt yourself or others. You have to listen to me. I know what is best for you," Mom said. + +She hugged Sam. She was glad he was okay. She helped him clean up the mess. She said sorry to the store man. She paid for the food. She took Sam home. She made him dinner. She gave him a cookie. She told him she loved him. Sam said he loved him too. He learned his lesson. He did not want to be crazy at the grocery store again. He wanted to be good. He wanted to eat healthy food. He wanted to make Mom happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to act like animals and make noises. Lily was a lion and Tom was a monkey. They ran and jumped and roared and chattered. + +"Look, a cactus!" Tom said, pointing to a big green plant with spikes. "Let's go and see it." + +Lily followed Tom to the cactus. She was curious, but also careful. She knew the cactus could hurt her. + +Tom was not careful. He wanted to touch the cactus. He reached out his hand and poked it. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. He pulled back his hand and saw blood.

She was a good friend. She acted like a lion, but also like a nurse. She helped Tom feel safe and loved. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a cute bird on the roof. The bird is blue and yellow. It sings a nice song. + +"Let's go see the bird!" Tom says. He runs to the house. Mia follows him. They climb the stairs. They open the window. They look at the bird. + +"Hello, bird!" Mia says. "Do you want to be our friend?" The bird nods. It flies to the window. It lands on Mia's hand. It pecks her finger. Mia giggles. + +"Let's take the bird to our room!" Tom says. He grabs a box. He puts some grass and seeds in it. He makes a nest for the bird. Mia carries the bird to their room. They put the box on the bed. They play with the bird. + +But the bird is not happy. It misses its family. It hears other birds outside. It wants to fly with them. It looks at the window. It sees the chimney. It sees a hole in the chimney. It thinks that is where its family is. + +The bird flies out of the box. It flies to the window. It flies to the chimney. It goes inside the hole.

They thought maybe there were more animals or toys or candy. + +They climbed on a chair and peeked over the fence. They saw a big house with many windows and a pool and a swing and a slide. They also saw a boy and a girl playing with a lot of toys. They looked happy and rich. + +Lily and Ben felt sad and jealous. They wished they had a house and a pool and a swing and a slide and many toys. They thought their house and their yard and their toys were small and modest and boring. They stopped pretending they were animals and started to cry. + +The boy and the girl heard them and came to the fence. They said hello and asked them their names. They said they were new in the neighborhood and wanted to make friends. They invited Lily and Ben to come and play with them and share their toys. + +Lily and Ben were surprised and happy. They said thank you and climbed over the fence. They played with the boy and the girl and had a lot of fun. They realized that the fence was not a barrier but a bridge. They learned that it was not the size or the number of the toys that mattered, but the joy of playing and sharing. They also learned that pretending was not a way of escaping, but a way of imagining and creating. They became good friends and played together every day. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, but their favorite was Molly the mule. Molly was brown and white and had long ears and a fluffy tail. She was very gentle and smart, and liked to carry things for the farmers. + +One day, Ben and Lily wanted to help their dad with the hay. They asked Molly to come with them and carry a big basket of hay. Molly nodded and followed them to the barn. There, they saw many stacks of hay and a big tractor.

The tractor was going to push the hay and make it fall. Ben and Lily were scared and shouted, "Help! Help! The tractor is coming!" + +Molly heard them and saw the danger. She knew she had to act fast. She rushed to the hay and grabbed the basket with her teeth. Then she ran to the other side of the barn, away from the tractor. She pulled the basket with all her strength and dragged Ben and Lily to safety. + +Ben and Lily hugged Molly and thanked her. "You are a hero, Molly! You saved us from the tractor!" they said. Molly smiled and wagged her tail. She was happy to help her friends. Their dad came and saw what happened. He was very proud of Molly and gave her a big carrot. He also hugged Ben and Lily and said, "You are very brave, too. But next time, be careful and stay away from the tractor. It is very fast and dangerous." Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, dad. We will." They learned a lesson and never played on the hay again. They still loved Molly and played with her every day. Molly was their best friend on the farm. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. One day, they find a shiny piece of metal in the yard. It is round and smooth and has a hole in the middle. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "It is so shiny and pretty. I want to polish it and make it more shiny." + +He takes a cloth and rubs the piece of metal. It sparkles in the sun. + +"Can I see it?" Mia asks. "I want to polish it too." + +She reaches for the piece of metal, but Tom pulls it away. + +"No, it is mine!" he says. "I found it first. You can't have it." + +He holds the piece of metal close to his chest. + +"That is not nice!" Mia says. "You are being selfish. You should share with your friend." + +She tries to grab the piece of metal, but Tom pushes her away. + +"Go away!" he says. "You are crazy. This is my piece of metal and I will polish it all day." + +He runs away from Mia, still rubbing the piece of metal. + +Mia feels sad and angry. She does not want to play with Tom anymore. She thinks he is a bad friend. She goes to find another toy to play with. + +Tom keeps polishing the piece of metal, but he does not feel happy. He feels lonely and bored. He looks around and sees that Mia is playing with a ball and a doll. She is laughing and having fun. + +He wishes he could play with her, but he does not know how to say sorry. He thinks she will not forgive him. He hugs the piece of metal, but it does not hug him back. He wonders if it was worth it. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to clean up. They leave their toys and books everywhere. Mom is not happy. + +One day, Mom asks Lily and Ben to help her with the dishes. She says, "Please help me wash the dishes. They are dirty and we need to make them clean. It is not hard. You can use soap and water and a sponge. I will show you how." + +Lily and Ben do not want to help. They say, "No, Mom. We do not like dishes. They are boring and wet. We want to play more. Can we play more, Mom?" + +Mom is sad. She says, "No, you cannot play more. You have to help me. It is not fair that I do all the work. You use the dishes too. You eat from them and drink from them. You should help me take care of them. It is good to help others. It makes them happy and it makes you happy too. Do you want to make me happy?" + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. They love Mom. They do not want to make her sad. They want to make her happy. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will help you. We are sorry. We want to learn how to wash dishes. Can you teach us, Mom?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, I can teach you. Thank you for helping me. You are good children. I am proud of you. Come, let us wash the dishes together. It can be fun. We can sing and talk and laugh. And when we are done, we can play more. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "That sounds good, Mom. We love you, Mom. Let us wash the dishes together." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches that it is good to help others, especially your family.

That means it has no color in its hair or eyes. + +Anna and Ben think the baby mule is very cute and want to pet it. But Molly, the mule, is not happy. She thinks the baby mule is hers and does not want anyone to touch it. She makes a loud noise and kicks her legs.

Do you think he has a name?" Lila asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe we can guess his name. Do you want to play a game?" Ben suggests. + +"Okay, how do we play?" Lila agrees. + +"We take turns to say a name. If the snowman likes the name, he will smile. If he does not like the name, he will frown. The first one to make him smile wins," Ben explains. + +"Sounds fun. You go first," Lila says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "Is your name Bob?" + +The snowman does not smile or frown. He just stares at them. + +"No, that's not his name. My turn. Is your name Sam?" Lila says. + +The snowman does not smile or frown. He just stares at them. + +"No, that's not his name either. Your turn," Ben says. + +Ben thinks for another moment. He says, "Is your name Jack?" + +The snowman does not smile or frown. He just stares at them. + +"No, that's not his name. My turn.

They say Tom, Jim, Dan, Tim, Rob, Ron, Ted, Ned, and many more. But the snowman does not smile or frown. He just stares at them. + +They start to feel tired and cold. They wonder if the snowman has a name at all. + +"Maybe he does not like any name. Maybe he is happy with no name," Lila says. + +"Maybe you are right. Maybe he is just a snowman. A big, white, calm snowman," Ben says. + +They decide to stop playing the game. They hug their snowman and say goodbye. They go back to their house to have some hot chocolate. They still like their snowman, even if he has no name. +Lily and Ben were playing by the river. They liked to throw stones and watch the water splash.

But the bird was faster and flew away. The monkey was angry and chased the bird all over the tree. + +The bird was scared and tired. She flew to a nest where her friend, a squirrel, was waiting. The squirrel saw the monkey and asked him, "Why are you bothering the bird? She did nothing wrong to you." + +The monkey said, "I want her shiny thing. It is mine." + +The squirrel said, "No, it is not yours. It is hers. She found it in the grass. It is a ring. It belonged to a human who lost it. You cannot have it. You are being greedy and rude." + +The monkey did not listen. He tried to climb to the nest and grab the ring. But the squirrel was clever and brave. He threw a nut at the monkey's head and made him fall. The monkey landed on the ground with a thud. He hurt his tail and his pride. + +He looked up and saw the bird and the squirrel laughing at him. He felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was wrong and ignorant. He learned his lesson. He said, "I am sorry, bird and squirrel. I was foolish and mean. I do not want your shiny thing anymore.

But you have to promise to be nice and share from now on." + +The monkey nodded and smiled. He said, "I promise. Thank you for teaching me. Can we be friends?" + +The bird and the squirrel agreed. They invited the monkey to join them in their nest. They shared the ring and some nuts and berries. They played and talked and had fun. The monkey was happy and wise.

She screamed, "Tim, are you okay? Mommy, help!" + +Mommy heard Mia's scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw the knife on the floor and Tim and Mia looking scared. She was worried. She asked, "What happened? Did anyone get hurt?" + +Tim shook his head. He said, "No, Mommy, I'm okay. I just wanted to see the knife. But it was too heavy and it fell. I'm sorry, Mommy." + +Mommy picked up the knife and looked at it. She saw that it was dull and not sharp at all. It was an old knife that Daddy used to cut bread. She sighed and said, "Tim, this knife is not sharp. It is dull. But it is still not a toy. You should never touch the knives, even if they look dull. They can still hurt you or someone else. Do you understand?" + +Tim nodded. He said, "Yes, Mommy, I understand. I'm sorry, Mommy. I won't touch the knives again." + +Mommy hugged Tim and Mia and said, "I'm glad you're okay. But don't panic, okay? If something happens, just call me and I'll come. I love you, Tim and Mia." + +Tim and Mia said, "We love you, Mommy." They gave Mommy a kiss and went back to playing. But they did not use the knives. They used the spoons and the bowls. And they had fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the evening. They see a big hill with many rocks. They want to climb the hill. + +"Let's go up the hill!" Anna says. "It looks fun!" + +"OK, but be careful!" Ben says. "The rocks are hard and sharp!" + +They start to climb the hill. They use their hands and feet. They help each other. They are brave and strong. + +They reach the top of the hill. They are happy and proud. They see the sun and the sky. They see their houses and their parents. They wave and shout. + +"Look, we did it!" Anna says. "We succeeded!" + +"Yes, we did!" Ben says. "We are the best!" + +They see a small animal on the hill. It is brown and furry. It has a long tail. It is a squirrel. It is harmless. It is not afraid of them. It comes closer and sniffs them. + +"Hello, squirrel!" Anna says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The squirrel nods and squeaks. It runs around them. It jumps on the rocks. It is fast and funny. + +Anna and Ben laugh and play with the squirrel. They have fun. They are friends. They enjoy the evening. +Lily and her mom were going on a big plane to visit grandma. Lily was very enthusiastic. She packed her favorite toys, books and clothes in her small bag. She also had a passport. A passport was a special book with her name and picture on it. Mom said she needed it to go on the plane. + +At the airport, Lily and her mom waited in a long line. Lily was bored. She looked around and saw many people with bags and passports. She noticed a man with a funny hat and a big beard. He had a passport too, but it looked different from hers. It had many colors and stamps on it. Lily was curious. She wanted to see it better. + +She walked out of the line and went closer to the man. She reached out her hand and touched his passport. The man looked down and saw Lily. He smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like my passport?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, it is pretty. Where are you going?" + +The man said, "I am going to India. It is a far away country with many animals and temples. Do you know where India is?" + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, I don't. I am going to grandma's house. She lives in Florida. It is warm and sunny there. Do you know where Florida is?" + +The man nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. I have been there once. It is a nice place. You will have fun with your grandma." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you. You are nice. Can I see your passport again?" + +The man said, "Sure, you can. But you have to go back to your mom soon. She might be worried about you." + +Lily said, "OK. I will go back soon. Bye, mister." + +She gave the man a hug and ran back to her mom. Her mom was looking for her. She was relieved to see her. She said, "Lily, where were you? I was scared. You can't wander off like that. You have to stay with me." + +Lily said, "Sorry, mom. I saw a man with a funny hat and a big beard. He had a pretty passport. He was going to India. He told me about it. He was nice." + +Mom said, "I'm glad he was nice, but you have to be careful. You don't know him. You have to ask me before you talk to strangers. Do you understand?" + +Lily said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I won't do it again. Can we go on the plane now?" + +Mom said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go. Don't forget your passport." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I have it. I'm ready to go." + +She held her mom's hand and followed her to the plane. She was still enthusiastic. She wondered what grandma's house would be like. She hoped she would see some animals and temples there too. +Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the big building where their mom worked. Sometimes, they rode the elevator up and down. The elevator had buttons with numbers. Ben could count to ten, but Sam could only count to five. + +One day, they sneaked into the building when mom was busy. They ran to the elevator and pushed the button. The door opened and they got in. Ben pushed the button with the biggest number. He wanted to see the top floor. + +The elevator went up and up and up. It made a loud noise. Then it stopped. The door did not open. The lights went off. Ben and Sam were scared. They cried for mom, but no one heard them. + +They waited and waited and waited. They got hungry and thirsty and cold. They hugged each other and hoped mom would find them. But mom did not know where they were. She thought they were at home with dad. But dad was not at home. He was in the hospital. He had a bad accident. He was dead. + +Ben and Sam did not know that. They did not know anything. They did not complete their game. They did not see the top floor. They did not get out of the elevator. They did not see mom or dad again. They died in the elevator. The end. +Lily liked to hide. She hid under the bed, behind the sofa, in the closet. She hid from her mom, her dad, her brother. She hid when it was time to eat, time to sleep, time to play. She thought hiding was fun. + +One day, Lily saw a rainbow in the sky. It was big and bright and had many colors. Lily wanted to see it closer. She ran outside and looked for a place to hide. She saw a big tree with a hole in it. She thought it was a good hiding spot. + +She crawled into the hole and waited. She hoped the rainbow would come to her. She waited and waited and waited. She heard a voice. It was not her mom, her dad, or her brother. It was a small and squeaky voice. + +"Hello, who are you?" the voice said. Lily was scared. She peeked out of the hole. She saw a tiny mouse with a red hat. The mouse looked at her and smiled. + +"I'm Lily. Who are you?" Lily said. + +"I'm Max. I live here. This is my home. Do you want to be my friend?" Max said. + +Lily nodded. She liked Max. He was cute and friendly. He showed her his home. He had a bed, a table, a chair, and a book. He also had a picture of a rainbow. + +"That's a rainbow. I like rainbows. Do you like rainbows?" Max said. + +"Yes, I do. I came here to see the rainbow. It's in the sky. It's big and bright and has many colors." Lily said. + +"Really? Can I see it too?" Max said. + +"Sure. Come with me. We can go outside and see the rainbow." Lily said. + +Lily and Max crawled out of the hole. They looked up at the sky. They saw the rainbow. It was still there. It was still big and bright and had many colors. Lily and Max smiled. They held hands. They were happy. + +They did not know that the rainbow was famous. It was the most beautiful rainbow in the world. Many people came to see it. They took pictures and videos. They posted them on the internet. They said it was a miracle. They said it was a sign. They said it was a wonder. + +But Lily and Max did not care. They only cared about each other. They were friends. They had fun. They hid under the rainbow. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big flower. It is yellow and red. It smells good. + +"Wow, look at the flower!" Lily says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we pick it?" Ben asks. + +"No, we can't," Lily says. "The flower is not ours. It belongs to the park. If we pick it, it will die." + +"Oh, okay," Ben says. "But can we smell it?" + +"Yes, we can," Lily says. "But be gentle. Don't touch the petals." + +They smell the flower. It makes them happy. They smile. + +Then they hear a bell. It is time to go home. They say goodbye to the flower. + +"Bye, flower," Lily says. "Thank you for being so pretty and nice." + +"Bye, flower," Ben says. "Maybe we will see you again." + +They run to their moms. They hold their hands. They walk away. + +But Ben forgets something. He forgets his hat. He left it on the ground, next to the flower. + +The flower sees the hat. It is blue and warm. It thinks the hat is a friend. + +The flower is helpful. It wants to keep the hat safe. It wraps its stem around the hat. It covers it with its petals. + +The next day, Lily and Ben come back to the park. They look for the flower. They want to say hello. + +But they can't find it. They see a big blue ball. It is on the ground, where the flower was. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "It looks like a ball. But it is not round. It has bumps." + +They go closer. They touch the ball. It is soft and fuzzy. + +They pull the ball. It moves. It opens. They see something inside. + +It is Ben's hat! + +"Hey, that's my hat!" Ben says. "I forgot it yesterday!" + +He takes his hat. He puts it on his head. + +He sees the flower. It is under the hat. It is still yellow and red. It is still smiling. + +"Hello, flower," Ben says. "You are so helpful. You saved my hat. Thank you!" + +"You're welcome," the flower says. "You are my friend. I like your hat. It is cozy." + +Lily and Ben laugh. They hug the flower. They are happy. + +They play with the flower and the hat. They have fun. + +They don't forget the flower again. They visit it every day. They are good friends. +Tim liked to sign. He learned to sign from his mom, who was deaf. He could talk with his voice, too, but he liked to use his hands. He thought it was fun and special. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and his dog, Rex. He saw a big hill with a lot of ants. He wanted to sign to the ants. He thought they might understand him. He ran to the hill and knelt down. He waved his hand and said, "Hello, ants. I am Tim. Do you want to be my friends?" + +The ants did not answer. They were busy carrying food and building their home. They did not see Tim or his hand. They did not care about him. They only cared about their work. + +Tim felt sad. He wanted the ants to talk to him. He tried to sign again, but louder. He said, "Please, ants. Look at me. I want to play with you. I can sign. Can you sign?" + +The ants still did not answer. They still did not see Tim or his hand. They still did not care about him. They only cared about their work. + +But Rex saw Tim and his hand. Rex was curious. He thought Tim was playing a game. He wanted to join the game. He ran to Tim and barked. He jumped on Tim and licked his face. He grabbed Tim's hand with his mouth and pulled. + +Tim screamed. He felt pain. He dropped his hand and saw blood. Rex had bitten him. Rex did not mean to hurt him. He only wanted to play. But Tim did not know that. He was scared and angry. He pushed Rex away and cried. + +Mom heard Tim and ran to him. She saw his hand and the ants and Rex. She understood what happened. She hugged Tim and said, "I'm sorry, Tim. Rex did not know you were signing. He thought you were playing. He did not want to bite you. He loves you. And the ants did not hear you. They cannot sign. They are normal ants. They do not talk. They only work. They are not your friends. They are just bugs. Come on, let's go home. I will clean your hand and give you a band-aid. And I will sign with you. I am your friend. I love you." + +Tim nodded. He still felt pain and sad, but he also felt love. He hugged his mom and said, "I love you, too, mom. Thank you for signing with me. You are my best friend." He looked at Rex and said, "I love you, too, Rex. But please do not bite me again. That hurts. You are my good dog." He looked at the ants and said, "Goodbye, ants. I hope you have a good day. But I do not want to sign with you anymore. You are not my friends. You are just bugs." He got up and walked with his mom and his dog. He learned a lesson. He learned that not everyone can sign. He learned that some things are normal and some things are special. He learned that he was special. And he was happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big bag near a bench. It was red and shiny. They wondered what was inside. + +They ran to the bag and opened it. They saw many things: a hat, a book, a ball, a doll and a mask. The mask was black and had a star on it. It looked powerful. Lily and Tom wanted to try it on. + +Lily put on the mask and said, "I am a superhero! I can fly and save the world!" She jumped and pretended to fly. Tom gazed at her and smiled. He said, "You look cool, Lily! Can I try the mask too?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you can, Tom. But you have to share. We can take turns." She gave the mask to Tom and he put it on. He said, "I am a superhero too! I can run fast and fight bad guys!" He ran and pretended to fight. Lily gazed at him and clapped. She said, "You look cool too, Tom! We are a superhero team!" + +They played with the mask and the other things in the bag. They had a lot of fun. They did not see the man who came to the bench. He was looking for his bag. He saw Lily and Tom and said, "Hey, that's my bag! What are you doing with it?" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know the man. They thought he was a bad guy. They ran away with the mask and the bag. They said, "Sorry, mister, but we are superheroes! We need this bag to save the world!" They ran to their mom and dad and told them what happened. They showed them the mask and the bag. They said, "Look, mom and dad, we found a superhero bag! Can we keep it?" + +Mom and dad looked at the mask and the bag. They saw the man who was chasing Lily and Tom. He was angry and tired. He said, "Please, give me back my bag. It's not a superhero bag. It's a costume bag. I'm an actor. I need it for my show." + +Mom and dad understood. They said, "Oh, we're sorry, sir. We didn't know. Lily and Tom, you have to give back the bag. It's not yours. It belongs to the man. He needs it for his work." + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They liked the mask and the bag. They said, "But we like the bag. It's a superhero bag. It makes us feel powerful." + +Mom and dad said, "We know, sweeties. But you can't keep something that's not yours. It's not nice. You have to say sorry to the man and give him back his bag. Maybe he will let you see his show. Maybe he will show you how he pretends to be a superhero." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Okay, mom and dad. We're sorry, mister. Here's your bag. Can we see your show?" + +The man smiled. He said, "Thank you, kids. You're very kind. Of course you can see my show. It's about superheroes. You can come with me and I'll show you how I use the mask and the bag. You can even help me if you want. How about that?" + +Lily and Tom smiled. They said, "Yes, please! That sounds fun! Thank you, mister!" + +They went with the man and mom and dad to see his show. They learned how to act like superheroes. They had a lot of fun. They gazed at the man and said, "You're a real superhero, mister. You're powerful and nice. We want to be like you when we grow up." +Lily and Ben were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They were wealthy, which meant they had many toys and clothes and books. But they were not happy, because their mom and dad were always busy and never played with them. + +One morning, Lily and Ben woke up early and saw the sun shining through the window. They decided to go outside and have some fun. They put on their shoes and coats and ran to the garden. There they saw many flowers and birds and butterflies. They also saw a big swing and a slide and a sandbox. + +"Let's play on the swing!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They took turns pushing each other on the swing, higher and higher. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted with joy. + +"Let's play on the slide!" Ben said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They climbed up the ladder and slid down the slide, faster and faster. They felt the thrill in their stomachs and the grass on their feet. They giggled and clapped with delight. + +"Let's play in the sandbox!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They grabbed some shovels and buckets and made sandcastles and sandpies. They decorated them with flowers and stones and shells. They felt the sand in their hands and the creativity in their minds. They smiled and praised each other's work. + +They played for a long time, until they heard their mom calling them for breakfast. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" their mom said. + +"OK, mom!" Lily and Ben said. + +They ran to the house, holding hands. They were hungry and tired, but also happy and proud. They had a lot of fun in the garden, and they felt closer to each other. + +"Mom, can we play outside again tomorrow?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, if the weather is nice," their mom said. + +"Can you play with us too, mom?" Ben asked. + +Their mom looked at them with love and surprise. She realized that she had been neglecting them, and that they needed her attention and affection. She felt sorry and ashamed, but also hopeful and grateful. + +"Of course, sweetie, I would love to play with you," their mom said. "I'm sorry I've been so busy lately. I miss you too, you know." + +She hugged them and kissed them, and they hugged and kissed her back. They felt her warmth and her sincerity, and they forgave her and trusted her. + +They sat down at the table and ate their breakfast. They talked and listened and shared their stories. They felt happy and loved and connected. + +They were wealthy, but not because of their toys and clothes and books. They were wealthy, because they had each other. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big gray tent where they slept at night. One day, they found an old axe near a tree. It was rusty and heavy, but they wanted to try it. + +"Let me have it first," Ben said. He took the axe and swung it at the tree. It made a loud noise, but the tree did not fall. + +"Let me try," Sam said. He grabbed the axe from Ben and swung it harder. The tree shook, but it did not fall. + +They took turns swinging the axe, but the tree was too strong. They got tired and hungry, so they decided to go back to the tent. + +They walked through the woods, carrying the axe. They saw a big bear in their way. It was brown and furry, and it had sharp teeth and claws. It growled at them and moved closer. + +Ben and Sam were scared. They did not know what to do. They held the axe together and hoped the bear would go away. + +"Go away, bear!" Ben shouted. "This is our axe!" + +The bear did not listen. It reached for the axe with its paw. Ben and Sam pulled the axe back and turned around. They ran as fast as they could to the tent. + +They reached the tent and zipped it up. They hugged each other and waited for the bear to leave. They heard it sniffing and scratching outside, but it did not find a way in. + +After a while, the bear gave up and walked away. Ben and Sam peeked out of the tent and saw it disappear into the woods. They were glad they were safe. They decided to leave the axe outside and never touch it again. They learned that some things are better left alone. +Lily and Ben were having dinner with their mom and dad. They had chicken, peas and potatoes on their plates. Lily liked potatoes a lot. She ate them first, then the chicken and the peas. Ben did not like potatoes. He pushed them to the side of his plate and ate the chicken and the peas. + +"Ben, you have to eat your potatoes too," mom said. "They are good for you and they taste yummy." + +"But I don't like them, mom," Ben said. "They are mushy and boring." + +"Please, just try one bite," mom said. "You might change your mind." + +Ben sighed. He picked up a small piece of potato with his fork and put it in his mouth. He made a face and spit it out. + +"Yuck, I don't like it, mom," he said. "Can I have some more chicken?" + +"No, you can't have more chicken until you finish your potatoes," mom said. "You have to eat what you have on your plate first." + +Lily looked at Ben and smiled. She had an idea. She took her fork and cut a wide slice of potato from her plate. She held it up and said, "Look, Ben, this is not a potato. This is a boat. A big, wide boat that can sail on the water. Do you want to play with it?" + +Ben looked at the potato slice. He liked boats. He liked to play with them in the bath. He nodded and said, "Okay, I want to play with the boat." + +Lily gave him the potato slice and said, "Here you go. But you have to make a sound like a boat. Like this: vroom, vroom, vroom." + +Ben took the potato slice and made the sound. He moved it around his plate like a boat. He pretended it was sailing on the water. He had fun. He did not notice that he was biting the potato slice as he played. He ate it all up. + +"Look, mom, I finished my potato," he said. "Can I have some more?" + +Mom and dad smiled. They were happy that Ben ate his potato. They gave him some more. Lily and Ben played with their potato boats until they finished their dinner. They had a good time. They said thank you to mom and dad. They cleaned their plates and went to wash their hands. They were ready for dessert. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big slide. Lily wanted to go first. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Tom followed her. + +"Wait for me, Lily!" Tom said. + +But Lily did not wait. She slid down the slide very fast. She liked the smooth feeling. She laughed and ran back to the ladder. + +Tom was angry. He wanted to slide too. He pulled Lily's hair. Lily cried. + +"Ow! That hurts, Tom! Let go of my hair!" Lily said. + +Tom did not let go. He pulled harder. Lily cried louder. + +A lady heard Lily's cry. She came to the park. She saw Tom and Lily. She was not happy. + +"Stop that, you naughty boy!" the lady said. "You are hurting your sister. Say sorry to her right now!" + +Tom looked at the lady. She had a big nose and a black hat. She looked like a witch. Tom was scared. He let go of Lily's hair. He said sorry to her. + +Lily stopped crying. She hugged the lady. She was not a witch. She was their grandma. She came to visit them. + +"Thank you, grandma!" Lily said. "You are very nice. Do you want to slide with us?" + +Grandma smiled. She nodded. She took Lily and Tom's hands. They went to the slide. They slid down together. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom on the grass and the dirt. Sometimes they pretended they were racing or chasing each other. + +"Look, Lily, my car is faster than yours!" Tom said, making his car zoom past Lily's. + +"No, it's not, Tom, mine is faster!" Lily said, making her car zoom after Tom's. + +They zoomed and zoomed until they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck on the road. It was very noisy and scary. It made Tom and Lily blink and stop playing. + +"What is that, Tom?" Lily asked, holding her car close to her chest. + +"It's a truck, Lily. It's very big and loud. It carries things from one place to another," Tom said, trying to sound brave. + +"Is it going to hurt us, Tom?" Lily asked, looking at the truck with wide eyes. + +"No, Lily, it's not going to hurt us. It's just passing by. It will go away soon," Tom said, holding Lily's hand. + +They watched the truck go by, feeling scared and curious. They blinked and blinked until the truck was gone. Then they smiled and went back to playing with their toy cars. They zoomed and zoomed until it was time to go inside. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park when they saw a strange lady. She had a big hat, a long nose and a black dress. She was holding a stick and a bag. + +"Who is she?" Sara asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe she is a witch," Ben said. + +"What is a witch?" Sara asked. + +Ben tried to explain. "A witch is a bad lady who does magic. She can turn people into frogs or make them sick. She likes to scare children and animals." + +Sara was scared. She did not like the sound of a witch. She wanted to go home. + +"Let's run away," she said to Ben. + +But before they could run, the lady saw them and smiled. She walked towards them. + +"Hello, little ones," she said. "Don't be afraid. I'm not a witch. I'm a teacher. I teach children about plants and animals. This is my stick. I use it to point at things. And this is my bag. I have books and toys in it. Do you want to see?" + +Sara and Ben were curious. They wanted to see what was in the bag. Maybe the lady was not a witch after all. + +"Okay," they said. + +The lady opened her bag and took out a book. It had pictures of flowers and birds. She showed them to Sara and Ben. + +"Look, this is a rose. It has a sweet smell and a pretty color. But be careful, it also has thorns. They can hurt you. And this is a crow. It has a black feather and a loud voice. It can fly very high and far. Do you like them?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They liked the rose and the crow. They smelled the rose and touched the feather. + +The lady smiled again. She took out another book. It had pictures of stars and planets. She showed them to Sara and Ben. + +"Look, this is the sun. It is a big star that gives us light and warmth. But don't look at it directly. It can hurt your eyes. And this is the moon. It is a small planet that reflects the sun's light. It changes shape every night. Do you like them?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They liked the sun and the moon. They pointed at the sky and tried to find them. + +The lady smiled again. She took out a toy. It was a frog. It was green and soft. She gave it to Sara and Ben. + +"Look, this is a frog. It is an animal that lives in water and land. It can jump and swim. It makes a funny sound. Do you like it?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They liked the frog. They squeezed it and made it croak. + +The lady smiled again. She took out a candy. It was a lemon. It was yellow and sour. She gave it to Sara and Ben. + +"Look, this is a lemon. It is a fruit that grows on a tree. It has a bitter taste and a fresh smell. Do you like it?" + +Sara and Ben shook their heads. They did not like the lemon. They made a face and spit it out. + +The lady laughed. She said, "Not everyone likes lemons. But they are good for you. They have vitamin C and help you fight colds. Maybe you will like them when you grow up." + +Sara and Ben smiled. They liked the lady. She was not a witch. She was a teacher. She taught them many things. They said, "Thank you, teacher. You are very nice. Can we play with you again?" + +The lady said, "Of course, you can. I come to this park every day. I like to meet new friends and share my books and toys. Maybe next time I can show you more things. Would you like that?" + +Sara and Ben said, "Yes, we would. We like to learn new things. See you tomorrow, teacher." + +The lady said, "See you tomorrow, Sara and Ben. Have a good day." + +They waved goodbye and ran back to their parents. They told them about the lady and what they learned. Their parents were happy and proud. They said, "You are very brave and smart. You made a new friend and learned new things. We are glad you had fun." + +Sara and Ben hugged their parents. They said, "We love you, mommy and daddy. We had fun. We met a teacher, not a witch. She was very nice. She gave us a frog, a lemon and a book." +Ben was a spoiled boy who did not like to nap. He always wanted to play with his toys and watch his shows. His mom tried to make him nap every day, but he would cry and kick and scream. He did not care that his mom was tired and needed a break. + +One day, his mom had a big surprise for him. She said, "Ben, today is your birthday! I have a cake and a candle for you. But you have to nap first, or you will not get your cake." Ben was very excited. He loved cake and he wanted to blow out the candle. He said, "Okay, mom, I will nap. But only for a little bit." + +His mom smiled and took him to his room. She tucked him in and gave him a kiss. She said, "Good boy, Ben. I will wake you up when it is time for your cake. Sweet dreams." She turned off the light and left the room. + +Ben closed his eyes and tried to nap. But he was too curious. He wondered what kind of cake his mom had made. He wondered how big the candle was. He wondered if he could make a wish. He decided to sneak out of his room and peek at the cake. He got out of his bed and opened the door. He tiptoed down the hall and into the kitchen. + +He saw the cake on the table. It was chocolate with white frosting and sprinkles. It looked delicious. He saw the candle in the middle. It was red and had a number four on it. It looked fun. He reached for the candle. He wanted to touch it and see if it was hot. He did not know that his mom had already lit it. He did not see the flame. He did not hear his mom coming back. + +He touched the candle and felt a sharp pain. He screamed and dropped the candle. The candle fell on the cake and set it on fire. The fire spread to the tablecloth and the curtains. The smoke filled the kitchen. His mom ran in and saw the mess. She grabbed Ben and ran out of the house. She called the firemen and they came with their big truck and loud sirens. They put out the fire and saved the house. + +Ben was very sorry. He had ruined his birthday and his mom's surprise. He had burned his finger and his cake. He had scared his mom and the firemen. He cried and hugged his mom. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was a bad boy. I did not nap. I was spoiled. I will never touch a candle again." + +His mom was angry and sad. But she was also glad that Ben was safe. She said, "Ben, you were very naughty. You did not listen to me. You could have been hurt. You have to nap when I tell you. You have to be careful with candles. They are not toys. They are dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I love you, mom. Can we still have cake?" + +His mom smiled and said, "Maybe later, Ben. But first, you have to nap." +Sara and Ben were twins, but they were very unique. Sara liked to play with dolls and dress up, and Ben liked to play with cars and trucks. They had different colors and shapes of toys, and they did not like to share. + +One day, their mom made them a big bowl of soup for lunch. She gave them each a teaspoon to eat with, and told them to settle down and enjoy their food. But Sara and Ben did not listen. They started to argue about who had the bigger spoon, and who had the better soup. + +"Mine is bigger!" Sara said, holding up her spoon. + +"No, mine is bigger!" Ben said, holding up his spoon. + +"Mine is better!" Sara said, pointing at her soup. + +"No, mine is better!" Ben said, pointing at his soup. + +They raised their voices and spilled their soup on the table. Their mom heard them and came back to the kitchen. She was not happy. + +"Sara and Ben, stop fighting!" she said. "You have the same size of spoon, and the same kind of soup. You are both unique, and you should appreciate what you have. Now, settle down and finish your lunch, or you will have no dessert." + +Sara and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They knew their mom was right. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They settled down and ate their soup with their teaspoons. They realized that their soup was delicious, and that they were lucky to have each other. They smiled and hugged, and their mom smiled too. She gave them each a cookie for dessert, and told them that she loved them very much. +Mia and Leo like to play with their toy cars.

She wants to play with it right away. Leo thinks it is the most ugly car he has ever seen. He wants to throw it away. + +"Can I have the copper car, please?" Mia asks Leo. + +"No, you can't. It is too old and bad. You should play with the modern cars. They are better," Leo says. + +"But I like the copper car. It is special and rare. You have many modern cars. You can share one with me," Mia says. + +"No, I won't. The modern cars are mine. You can't touch them. You can only have the copper car if you replace it with something else," Leo says. + +Mia thinks for a moment. She looks at her toys. She sees her favorite doll. She loves her doll very much. She hugs her doll and kisses her. Then she makes a decision. + +"Okay, Leo. I will replace the copper car with my doll. You can have my doll and I can have the copper car. Is that fair?" Mia says. + +Leo looks at the doll. He does not like dolls. He thinks they are boring and silly. But he sees that Mia loves her doll very much. He sees that she is willing to give up her doll for the copper car. He feels a little sorry for Mia. He thinks maybe he is being too mean and selfish. + +"Okay, Mia. You can have the copper car and I can have your doll. But you can also play with the modern cars sometimes. And I can also play with the doll sometimes. Is that fair?" Leo says. + +Mia smiles. She is happy that Leo is being nice and generous. She gives him her doll and takes the copper car. She thanks him and hugs him. Leo smiles too. He is happy that Mia is happy.

It has everything we need." + +"Yes, it is very modern," Ben agrees. "But it is missing something." + +"What is it missing?" Sara asks. + +"It is missing weather," Ben says. "We need weather for our city. Weather is what happens in the sky. Sometimes it is sunny, sometimes it is rainy, sometimes it is windy, sometimes it is snowy." + +"How can we make weather for our city?" Sara wonders. + +Ben thinks for a moment. Then he has an idea. He runs to his room and comes back with some cotton balls, some paper, some scissors and some glue. + +"Look what I have!" he says. "We can use these to make weather for our city. We can make clouds, rain, snow and wind with these." + +Sara likes Ben's idea. They start to make weather for their city. They glue some cotton balls to the sky to make clouds. They cut some paper into small pieces to make rain and snow. They blow on their city to make wind. + +Soon, their city has weather. It looks more real and more fun. + +"Wow, our city is amazing!" Sara says. "We have modern buildings and weather. We are very clever." + +"Yes, we are very clever," Ben says.

She thinks she will never see her mom and sister again. + +But then, she feels a hand grab her arm. It is her sister. Her sister saw her in trouble and dived into the water to help her. Her sister pulls her up to the surface. Anna gasps for air and coughs. She feels the sun and the air on her face. She feels her sister hug her and say, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to scare you. Are you okay?" + +Anna nods and hugs her sister back. She says, "Thank you, sister. You saved me. You are brave and smart. I love you." + +Her sister smiles and says, "I love you too, Anna. You are brave and smart too. You can dive very well. But next time, be careful of the ball. It is too heavy for you." + +Anna agrees and says, "Okay, sister. Next time, I will be careful. Can we play with the ball together?" + +Her sister says, "Yes, Anna. We can play with the ball together. But first, let's go to mom and tell her what happened.

They hug them and say, "Don't worry, we are here. What happened?" + +Lily and Ben tell them about the record. They show them the picture of the monster. Mommy and Daddy look at the record and laugh.

They say, "No, thank you. We do not like this record. It is too loud and scary. Can we play with our other toys?" Mommy and Daddy say, "Of course. You can play with your other toys. But maybe you can also try some other records. There are many records with nice music and stories. Maybe you will like them." + +They take the record off the record player and put it back in the box.

She said, "You are silly. I am not scared. I am strong and brave. Watch me." She ran to the tree and started to climb. She grabbed a branch and pulled herself up. She smiled and said, "See, I told you it is easy. I am on the branch. I can see everything." + +Ben watched Lily from the ground. He was worried. He said, "Lily, please come down. It is not safe. The branch can break. You can fall and hurt yourself." + +But Lily did not listen to Ben. She said, "You are silly. I am not in danger. The branch is strong and steady. I am fine." She moved on the branch and tried to reach another one. She stretched her arm and said, "Look, I can go higher. I will show you." + +But Lily was wrong. The branch was not strong and steady.

Are you okay? I told you not to climb the tree. It was not easy. It was high and dangerous. You should have listened to me." + +But Lily did not answer. She was too hurt.

Climbing the tree was not easy. It was a bad idea. +Mia loves her kitten, Luna. Luna is soft and smooth and has blue eyes. Mia likes to rock Luna in her arms and sing to her. Luna purrs and cuddles with Mia. + +One day, Mia and Luna go outside to play. They see a big rock in the garden. Mia thinks the rock is cool and shiny. She wants to show Luna the rock. She puts Luna on the rock and says, "Look, Luna, a rock!" + +But Luna does not like the rock. The rock is hard and cold and hurts her paws. Luna meows and jumps off the rock.

They ran to the door when the pizza man came. They received the pizza box and opened it. + +But when they saw the pizza, they were not happy. The pizza had green sauce, not red sauce. The sauce looked yucky and smelled funny. Tim and Sam did not want to try it. + +"Mom, what is this?" Tim asked. "We don't like green sauce. We want red sauce." + +"Trust me, boys, this is a special sauce. It is called pesto. It has basil and cheese and nuts. It is very tasty. Just take a bite and you will see." Mom said. + +Tim and Sam did not believe mom. But they did not want to be rude. So they each took a small bite of the pizza. As soon as they tasted the sauce, they made a face. The sauce was bitter, not sweet. It was sour and salty and crunchy. It did not go well with the cheese and the bread. Tim and Sam spit out the pizza and cried. + +"Mom, this is the worst pizza ever. We hate this sauce. It is bitter and gross. We want red sauce. We want red sauce." They shouted. + +Mom felt bad. She wanted to try something new and make her boys happy. But she made a mistake.

Don't touch anything or move anything. Everything has its place." + +Milo nodded, but he did not listen. He started to look at Lila's things and touch them and move them. He found a ball and bounced it. He found a book and opened it. He found a hat and put it on. He made a lot of noise and mess. + +Lila was very angry. She said, "Milo, stop it! You are ruining my things. You are making a mess. You are not being a good friend." + +Milo said, "But I'm just having fun. I'm not hurting anything. I'm being a good friend. Why are you so mad?" + +Lila said, "Because you are not respecting my things. You are not following my rules. You are not being organized." + +Milo said, "But being organized is boring. Being fun is better. You should try it." + +Lila said, "No, thank you. I like being organized. It makes me happy. You should try it." + +They argued and argued. They did not listen to each other. They did not understand each other. They did not have fun. + +Then, they heard a loud roar. It was a lion. He was hungry and looking for food. He saw the hippos and licked his lips. + +Lila and Milo were scared. They ran to the river and jumped in. They hid under the water and hoped the lion would go away. + +They stayed there for a long time. They did not talk. They did not play. They did not argue. They just rested. + +After a while, they peeked out of the water. The lion was gone. They were safe. + +They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry." + +Lila said, "I'm sorry for being angry. I should have let you have fun. I should have been more flexible. I should have been a better friend." + +Milo said, "I'm sorry for being messy. I should have respected your things. I should have followed your rules. I should have been a better friend." + +They hugged and smiled. They said, "We are different, but we are friends. We can learn from each other.

You have to respect. You have to say sorry. Grandma loves you, but she also loves her seat. She will be here soon. You have to get ready." + +Lily sighed. She got off the seat. She said sorry. She hugged Mommy. She said, "OK, Mommy, I will share. I will respect. I will get ready. But can I stretch again later?" + +Mommy smiled. She said, "Yes, Lily, you can stretch again later. But not on Grandma's seat. You can stretch on your bed, or on the rug, or on the grass. You can stretch anywhere you want. But you have to be nice. You have to be good. You have to be a big girl." + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Mommy, I will be nice. I will be good. I will be a big girl. But I still think the seat is incredible." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the mud. They made mud pies, mud castles, and mud animals.

Anna and Ben pretended to do so, but they did not use the soap in the bathroom. They ran to their room and took out the unicorn soap. They rubbed it on their hands and faces. It felt smooth and soft. They smelled it. It smelled sweet and fruity. They liked it a lot. They thought they had found a better soap than their mom's. + +But then, something strange happened. Their hands and faces started to itch. They looked in the mirror and saw that they had red spots all over. They felt hot and sore. They realized that the unicorn soap was not a soap at all. It was a bath bomb. It was meant to fizz and dissolve in the water, not to wash with. They had used it wrong and now they had a rash. + +They cried and ran to their mom. They told her what they had done. Their mom was not angry, but she was worried. She took them to the doctor, who gave them some cream and medicine. He told them that they would be fine, but they had to be careful with what they put on their skin. He also told them that soap was good for them and that they should always use it. + +Anna and Ben learned their lesson. They apologized to their mom and thanked the doctor. They threw away the unicorn bath bomb and used the soap in the bathroom. They still liked to play in the mud, but they also liked to wash with soap. They found out that soap could be nice too. It could be colorful and have different shapes and smells. It could make bubbles and foam. It could make them clean and healthy. They never judged a soap by its cover again. +Lily was a big girl who liked to help her mom at work. Her mom worked in a big building with many people and papers.

I have to finish them by today, or my boss will be angry." + +Lily felt sorry for the man. She said, "That is not fun. Maybe I can help you. I am good at sorting files. I can put them in colors or shapes or letters. What do you think?" + +The man sighed and said, "That is very sweet of you, Lily, but these files are not for sorting. They are for reading and writing and checking. They have many big words and numbers that you may not understand. They are very boring and hard." + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I see. But maybe you can take a break and play with me for a little while. I have a toy bear that is very adorable. He likes to hug and sing and dance. He can make you happy. Do you want to see him?" + +The man looked at Lily and her toy bear. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He said, "You know what, Lily? You are very adorable too. And you are right, I need a break. Why don't you show me your toy bear and we can play for a little while. Maybe then I can finish my files faster and better." + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "Yay! Come on, let's go to the playroom. There are more toys and games there. You will have fun, I promise." + +The man got up from his desk and followed Lily to the playroom.

She helped him get up. She hugged him and kissed his boo-boos. + +"Ben, I'm sorry you didn't catch the bird," Lily said. "But you know, the bird is happier in the sky.

I have you." + +Tom was surprised and touched. He hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are the best friend ever. I don't need the teddy bear either. I have you." + +They decided to share the teddy bear. They played with it together in the park. They were both happy. They had the best prize of all. They had each other. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. They had a big box that they used as a castle. They cut out a door and a window with scissors. They also made a flag with a paper and a stick. + +One day, they found a letter in the mailbox. It had a stamp with a picture of a dragon. Lily opened the letter. It said: + +"Dear Lily and Tom, + +I am a friendly dragon. I live in a chamber under the mountain. I have a lot of treasure, but I am lonely. I want to be your friend. Can you come and visit me? Please mail me back. + +Your dragon friend." + +Lily and Tom were very excited. They wanted to see the dragon and his treasure. They wrote a letter back. They said: + +"Dear dragon friend, + +We are happy to get your letter. We want to be your friend too. We will come and visit you soon. How can we find your chamber? Please mail us a map. + +Your knight and princess friends." + +They put the letter in an envelope. They drew a heart on it. They put a stamp with a picture of a flower. They ran to the mailbox. They put the letter inside. They hoped the dragon would get it soon. + +They waited for a few days. They checked the mailbox every morning. One day, they found another letter from the dragon. It had a thick paper with a map. It showed them how to get to the mountain and the chamber. It also had a clue. It said: + +"Look for the red stone. It is the secret door. Knock three times. I will open it for you. I can't wait to meet you. + +Your dragon friend." + +Lily and Tom were very happy. They packed some snacks and toys. They told their mom they were going on an adventure. They followed the map to the mountain. They found the red stone. They knocked three times. They heard a roar. The stone moved. They saw a big green dragon. He smiled at them. He said: + +"Hello, Lily and Tom. I am so glad you came. Welcome to my chamber. Come and see my treasure. And play with me. You are my best friends." + +Lily and Tom smiled back. They entered the chamber. They saw a lot of gold and jewels. They also saw some books and games. They hugged the dragon. They said: + +"Hello, dragon friend. We are so glad we came. Your chamber is amazing. We want to see your treasure. And play with you. You are our best friend too." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with their kayaks in the lake. They have red kayaks and blue kayaks. They paddle fast and splash water. + +One day, they see a big fish in the lake. It is smelly and scary. It has sharp teeth and a long tail. It swims near their kayaks and makes loud noises. + +"Go away, fish!" Tom says. "You are smelly and scary. You cannot play with us." + +But the fish does not go away. It bites Tom's kayak and makes a hole. Water goes in the hole and Tom's kayak sinks. Tom is wet and sad. + +"Help, Sam!" Tom says. "The fish is bad. It broke my kayak." + +Sam paddles to Tom and helps him. He gives him his blue kayak and says, "Don't worry, Tom. You can use my kayak. We can share. The fish is bad, but we are good. We are friends." + +Tom and Sam paddle away from the fish. They go to the shore and hug. They are wet and smelly, but they are happy. They are friends. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They were very playful and happy. + +"Look, Lila, a bee!" Ben said, pointing to a yellow and black insect that was flying near a flower. "It makes honey, yum!" + +Lila nodded. She liked honey too. She wanted to see the bee closer. She walked towards the flower, but Ben stopped her. + +"Wait, Lila, don't touch the bee!" Ben said. "It can sting you and hurt you. You have to be careful." + +Lila frowned. She was not afraid of the bee. She thought it was pretty and friendly. She did not want to hurt it, but she wanted to say hello. + +"Please, Ben, let me see the bee," Lila said. "I will be gentle and nice. I just want to talk to it." + +Ben shook his head. He did not think it was a good idea. He knew that bees did not like to be bothered. He tried to pull Lila away from the flower, but she resisted. + +"No, Ben, I want to see the bee!" Lila said. She pushed Ben and ran to the flower. She reached out her hand to touch the bee. + +The bee did not like that. It felt that Lila was invading its space. It did not want to be touched by a big hand. It felt scared and angry. It did not yield to Lila's curiosity. It buzzed loudly and stung Lila's finger. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried. She felt a sharp pain in her finger. She dropped her hand and ran back to Ben. She showed him her finger, which was red and swollen. "Ben, the bee stung me! It hurts!" + +Ben hugged Lila and tried to comfort her. He felt sorry for her, but he also felt a little annoyed. He had warned her not to touch the bee, but she did not listen. He hoped she learned her lesson. + +"I'm sorry, Lila, the bee stung you," Ben said. "But I told you not to touch it. You have to respect the bee and its flower. They are not toys. They are living things. They have feelings too." + +Lila nodded. She understood. She felt bad for the bee and for herself. She wished she had listened to Ben. She realized that being playful was good, but being careful was better. She said sorry to Ben and to the bee. She hoped the bee was not too mad at her. She hoped her finger would heal soon. She decided to play with something else in the garden. Something that did not sting. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big tub of water and some cups. They liked to fill the cups with water and pour them on the flowers. They said the flowers were thirsty and needed a drink. + +But Tom had a naughty idea. He filled his cup with water and sneaked behind Lily. He wanted to soak her with water and make her wet. He thought it would be funny. He threw the water at Lily, but he missed. The water hit a bee that was flying by. + +The bee was angry. It had long wings and a sharp sting. It did not like to be wet. It flew towards Tom and buzzed in his ear. Tom was scared. He tried to run away, but the bee followed him. It stung him on his eye. Tom cried out loud. His eye was red and sore. + +Lily heard Tom's cry. She ran to him and saw his eye. She felt sorry for him. She brought him a cloth and some ice. She put the ice on his eye and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. The bee hurt you. But you should not have tried to soak me. That was not nice. You should be kind to others, and they will be kind to you." + +Tom nodded. He was sorry too. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was not nice. I will not soak you again. I will be kind to you and the flowers and the bees. Thank you for helping me." He gave Lily a hug. They were friends again. They learned a lesson. They learned to be kind. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, Tom has a new hat. It is red and big and has a star on it. Sam likes the hat very much. He wants to wear it. + +"Can I wear your hat, Tom?" Sam asks. + +"No, it is my hat. You have your own hat. It is blue and small and has a dot on it," Tom says. + +"But I like your hat more. It is prettier and cooler. Please, let me wear it," Sam begs. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Sam. You are not my friend anymore," Tom shouts. + +Sam is sad and angry. He thinks Tom is mean and selfish. He wants to make Tom sorry. He has an idea. He waits until Tom is not looking. Then he grabs the hat and runs away. He laughs and puts the hat on his head. He feels happy and smart. + +Tom sees Sam with his hat. He is shocked and mad. He chases Sam and yells. "Give me back my hat, Sam. You are a thief and a liar. I hate you, Sam." + +Sam runs faster and faster. He does not want to give back the hat. He thinks he can trade it for something better. He sees a big dog on the street. The dog is hungry and angry. It barks and growls. It sees Sam with the hat. It thinks the hat is food. It jumps and bites. Sam screams and drops the hat. The dog takes the hat and runs away. Sam is hurt and scared. He cries and bleeds. + +Tom catches up with Sam. He sees the dog with his hat. He sees Sam with his wound. He does not care. He is still mad and sad. He says to Sam. "You are a bad friend, Sam. You deserve it, Sam. You will never wear my hat, Sam. Go away, Sam." + +Sam is alone and sorry. He wishes he did not take the hat. He wishes he did not lose the hat. He wishes he did not hurt Tom. He wishes he could say sorry to Tom. But Tom does not want to talk to him. Tom does not want to play with him. Tom does not want to be his friend. Sam has no hat and no friend. He is very unhappy. The end. +Ben was going to a party with his mom and dad. He had to wear a nice shirt and a tie. He did not like ties. They were tight and itchy. He tried to put on his tie by himself, but he did not know how. He felt helpless. + +He called his mom for help. "Mom, I can't do my tie. Can you help me?" + +Mom came to his room. She smiled and hugged him. "Of course, I can help you, Ben. You are a big boy, but ties are tricky. Let me show you how to do it." + +She took his tie and wrapped it around his neck. She made a loop and a knot and pulled it gently. She adjusted his collar and smoothed his hair. "There, you look very handsome, Ben. Do you like your tie now?" + +Ben looked at himself in the mirror. He saw his tie and his mom's face. He remembered something. He said, "Mom, you know who else wears a tie? Grandpa. He always wears a tie when he visits us. He says it makes him look smart. I miss him. Do you miss him too?" + +Mom nodded and kissed his cheek. "Yes, I miss him too, Ben. He is very far away, but he loves us very much. He always calls us and sends us pictures. He reminds me of you. You have his eyes and his smile. You make me very proud, Ben." + +Ben hugged his mom and said, "I love you, Mom. And I love Grandpa. And I love my tie. Thank you for helping me." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Ben. And you're welcome. Now, let's go to the party. Maybe we can call Grandpa later and tell him about it." + +They held hands and walked out of the room. Ben felt happy and not helpless anymore. He wore his tie with pride. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a toy gun. It is smooth and shiny. They pretend to be cops and robbers. + +One day, they see a big tree. It has many leaves and branches. Tim says, "Look, Sam, a tree! Let's climb it!" Sam says, "OK, Tim, let's go!" They run to the tree and start to climb. + +They are very happy. They see birds and squirrels. They feel the wind and the sun. They say, "Wow, this is fun!" + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. It is big and angry. It barks and growls. It runs to the tree. It wants to bite them. + +Tim and Sam are scared. They hug each other. They say, "Help, help, a dog!" They drop their toy gun. It falls to the ground. + +The dog sees the toy gun. It thinks it is a bone. It runs to the toy gun. It picks it up with its mouth. It shakes it and chews it. It breaks it into pieces. + +Tim and Sam see the dog. They say, "Oh no, our toy gun! It is gone!" They are sad. They cry. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Tim's mom. She says, "Tim, Sam, where are you? It is time to go home!" She sees them on the tree. She says, "Come down, boys, it is not safe!" She sees the dog. She says, "Shoo, shoo, go away!" She scares the dog. The dog runs away. + +Tim and Sam climb down. They hug their mom. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We lost our toy gun. It was smooth and shiny. We liked it." Their mom says, "It is OK, boys. I am glad you are safe. You can get a new toy gun. But you have to be careful. Do not play near dogs. They can be mean." + +Tim and Sam say, "OK, mom, we will. Thank you." They go home with their mom. They are still friends. They hope to find a new toy gun. They hope to grow big and strong. They hope to have more fun. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and dolls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There is a big pond with ducks and fish. Ben and Mia see a navy boat on the water. It is shiny and has a flag. + +"Wow, look at the boat!" Ben says. "It is so cool. I want to touch it." + +"Me too," Mia says. "But we have to be careful. The water is deep and cold." + +Ben and Mia run to the edge of the pond. They reach out their hands to the boat. But the boat is too far. They cannot touch it. + +"Ha ha, you cannot get the boat!" a voice says. It is Sam, a boy from their preschool. He is on the other side of the pond. He has a stick. He uses the stick to push the boat away from Ben and Mia. + +"Stop it, Sam!" Ben says. "That is not nice. You are teasing us." + +"Yeah, stop it, Sam!" Mia says. "You are being mean. Share the boat with us." + +But Sam does not listen. He laughs and pushes the boat more. He is careless. He does not see a big rock in the water. He trips on the rock and falls into the pond. He gets wet and cold. He cries. + +"Help, help!" Sam says. "I am sorry. I was wrong. Please help me." + +Ben and Mia are scared. They do not know what to do. They call their moms. Their moms come and help Sam. They take him out of the pond. They wrap him in a towel. They scold him for teasing Ben and Mia. They tell him to say sorry. + +"I am sorry, Ben and Mia," Sam says. "I was teasing you. I was careless. I will not do it again. Can we be friends?" + +Ben and Mia are kind. They forgive Sam. They say yes, they can be friends. They share the boat with him. They play together. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. Today they want to go to the park. But they need to put on their shoes first. + +Tom finds his shoes. They are blue and have cars on them. He likes his shoes. He puts them on his feet. He is ready to go. + +Lily looks for her shoes. She cannot find them. She sees a pair of shoes under the bed. They are pink and have flowers on them. She thinks they are pretty. She tries to put them on her feet. But they are too big. They are not her shoes. + +"Whose shoes are these?" Lily asks. + +"They are Mom's shoes," Tom says. "You cannot wear them. They are too big for you. And they are unusual. They have heels. You will fall down." + +"I don't care," Lily says. "I like them. They are pretty. I want to wear them." + +"No, you don't," Tom says. "You need to wear your shoes. They are in the closet. They are purple and have stars on them. They are your shoes. They fit you." + +"I don't like them," Lily says. "They are boring. I want to wear Mom's shoes." + +They start to argue. They raise their voices. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting over the shoes. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asks. + +"Lily wants to wear your shoes," Tom says. + +"Tom won't let me wear your shoes," Lily says. + +Mom smiles. She picks up Lily and hugs her. + +"Lily, you are very cute. But you cannot wear my shoes. They are not for you. They are for me. They are unusual. They are for special occasions. You need to wear your shoes. They are for you. They are for everyday. They are perfect for the park." + +Lily pouts. She does not want to give up the shoes. + +"Please, Lily," Mom says. "Give me the shoes. I have an idea. How about we play dress up later? You can wear my shoes and some of my clothes and jewelry. You can pretend to be me. And Tom can wear Dad's shoes and some of his clothes and hat. He can pretend to be Dad. Wouldn't that be fun?" + +Lily thinks. She likes the idea. She nods. She gives Mom the shoes. + +"Thank you, Lily," Mom says. "You are a good girl. Now, where are your shoes?" + +Lily points to the closet. Mom helps her find her shoes. They are purple and have stars on them. Lily puts them on her feet. She looks at them. She thinks they are not so bad. They are pretty too. + +"Are you ready to go to the park?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom," Tom and Lily say. + +They hold Mom's hands. They go to the park. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the shoes. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and smell the flowers. They saw a big bee flying near a rose. The bee was yellow and black and had a loud buzz. + +"Look, a bee!" Ben said. "Let's follow it!" + +"OK!" Lily said. "But be careful, bees can sting!" + +They ran after the bee, but it was too fast for them. It flew over the fence and into the next garden. Ben and Lily stopped and looked at each other. + +"Where did it go?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it found a new flower." + +They heard a car honk in the street. They turned around and saw their mom's car. She had arrived from work. She parked the car and got out. She had a big bag in her hand. It looked heavy. + +"Hi, kids!" Mom said. "I missed you! How was your day?" + +"Hi, Mom!" Ben and Lily said. They ran to hug her. "We had fun! We played in the garden and saw a bee!" + +"A bee? That's exciting!" Mom said. "Did it sting you?" + +"No, it didn't," Ben said. "It flew away." + +"Well, that's good," Mom said. "Do you want to see what I have in my bag?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said. + +Mom opened the bag and took out a book. It had a picture of a bee on the cover. It was a story book about bees and flowers and honey. + +"Look, a bee book!" Ben said. + +"Wow, a bee book!" Lily said. + +"I thought you would like it," Mom said. "It's a gift for you. We can read it together later." + +"Thank you, Mom!" Ben and Lily said. They hugged her again. They were happy. They loved their mom and their bee book. +Lily was a musician. She liked to play her purple guitar and sing songs. She had many friends who liked her music. One day, she went to the park with her guitar. She saw a boy who had a red drum. She wanted to play with him. + +"Hi, I am Lily. I am a musician. Can I play with you?" she asked. + +"Hi, I am Max. I am a musician too. Sure, you can play with me," he said. + +They played music together. They had fun. They made a lot of noise. Some people liked their music. Some people did not. A man came to them. He looked angry. + +"Stop playing music! You are too loud! You are bothering me!" he shouted. + +Lily and Max felt sad. They did not want to bother anyone. They stopped playing music. + +"Why are you so mean?" Lily asked. + +"Music is bad. It is noisy and silly. You should do something else," the man said. + +Lily and Max did not agree. They liked music. They thought music was good. It made them happy and creative. They decided to teach the man a lesson. + +They played music again. But this time, they played very softly and sweetly. They played a song that was about kindness and friendship. They sang with their hearts. The man heard their music. He felt something in his chest. He felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he was wrong. + +He came to them again. But this time, he smiled. + +"I am sorry. I was rude to you. Your music is beautiful. It touched me. Can you forgive me?" he asked. + +Lily and Max smiled too. They forgave him. + +"Thank you. We are glad you like our music. Music is good. It can make people happy and peaceful. You can join us if you want," they said. + +The man nodded. He picked up a blue harmonica. He played with them. They made music together. They had fun. They made a lot of joy. + +The moral of the story is: Music is a powerful and positive force that can bring people together and change their hearts. +Lily liked to play with her cat, Snowy. Snowy was white and soft and liked to purr. Lily would hug Snowy and brush her fur and give her treats. Snowy was a good cat. + +One day, Lily saw a big, black cat in the garden. The black cat had yellow eyes and sharp teeth and looked fierce. Lily wanted to make friends with the black cat, so she ran outside with a bowl of milk. + +"Hello, black cat!" Lily said. "Do you want some milk? You can share with Snowy. She is nice." + +But the black cat did not want to share. The black cat hissed and growled and slapped the bowl of milk with his paw. The milk spilled on the grass and the bowl broke. Lily was scared and sad. + +"Go away, black cat!" Lily cried. "You are mean and rude. You are not nice like Snowy." + +Snowy heard Lily's cry and came running. She saw the black cat and the broken bowl and the spilled milk. She was angry and brave. She arched her back and puffed her tail and spat at the black cat. + +"Leave Lily alone, black cat!" Snowy said. "She is my friend and you are not. You are a bad cat." + +The black cat was surprised and afraid. He saw Snowy and Lily standing together and he knew he had no chance. He turned and ran away, never to come back. + +Lily hugged Snowy and thanked her. Snowy licked Lily's face and purred. Lily and Snowy were happy. They were the best friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard when they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary and it was spinning very fast. They heard a loud noise like a train. + +"Look, Lily, a tornado!" Tom said. "We have to go inside, now!" + +He grabbed Lily's hand and ran to the house. He knocked on the door and shouted, "Mom, Dad, there's a tornado!" + +Mom and Dad opened the door and let them in. They hugged them and said, "Don't worry, we're safe here. We have a basement where we can hide." + +They brought some blankets, pillows, water and snacks and went down the stairs. They turned on a flashlight and a radio. They listened to the news and waited for the tornado to pass. + +"Is the tornado bad?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, it is very bad. It can break things and hurt people. But we are lucky. We have a strong house and a good basement. And we have each other," Mom said. + +"Will the tornado go away?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, it will go away soon. The news said it is moving fast and it will not stay here long. We just have to be patient and honest," Dad said. + +"Honest? What does that mean?" Lily asked. + +"It means we tell the truth and we do the right thing. We don't lie or cheat or steal. We help others and we say sorry when we make a mistake. We are honest because we love and respect ourselves and others," Dad said. + +"I want to be honest," Tom said. + +"Me too," Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged their parents. They felt safe and happy. They knew the tornado was bad, but they also knew they were good. They were honest. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play by the river. They wanted to make a raft out of sticks and leaves, so they could float on the water. They started to collect sticks and leaves from the ground and tied them together with vines. + +"Look, our raft is almost done!" Lily said. "Let's find some more leaves to make it soft and cozy." + +"OK, but be careful not to touch the red ones. They are spicy and make your skin itch." Tom warned. + +Lily nodded and ran to a nearby bush. She saw a big green leaf and reached for it. But she did not see the red one next to it. She touched it by mistake and felt a burning sensation on her hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "Tom, help! I touched a spicy leaf!" + +Tom heard her and ran to her. He saw her hand was red and swollen. He felt sorry for her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I know what to do. Come with me to the river. We can wash your hand with cool water and put some mud on it. It will make it feel better." + +Lily followed Tom to the river. They washed her hand and put some mud on it. Lily felt the pain go away and smiled. She thanked Tom for helping her. + +"You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you're OK. You're my friend and I care about you." Tom said. + +They hugged and went back to their raft. They finished it and put it on the water. They climbed on it and floated happily. They learned to be careful of spicy leaves and to help each other when they were hurt. They had fun and were good friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today the weather is bad. It is raining and windy. They are sad. + +"Let's play inside," Anna says. "We can make a fort with pillows and blankets." + +"OK," Ben says. "That sounds fun." + +They go to Anna's room and start to build a fort. They use pillows, blankets, chairs and books. They make a big and cozy fort. They are happy. + +But then Anna's little brother Tom comes in. He is curious. He wants to play too. He crawls into the fort and grabs a book. He pulls and pulls. The fort falls down. Anna and Ben are angry. + +"Tom, you are bad!" Anna shouts. "You broke our fort!" + +"Sorry, sorry," Tom says. He is scared. He starts to cry. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for Tom. He is only a baby. He did not mean to be bad. They decide to help him. + +"It's OK, Tom," Ben says. "We can make another fort. Do you want to help us?" + +"Yes, yes," Tom says. He stops crying. He smiles. + +They work together to make a new fort. They make it bigger and stronger. They let Tom choose a book to read inside. They are all happy. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Lily says. She wears a pink vest and a blue hat. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. + +"No, Lily, it is too high!" Ben says. He wears a green vest and a yellow hat. He stays on the ground and watches Lily. + +Lily reaches the top of the slide. She smiles and waves at Ben. She sits on the slide and slides down fast. She laughs and says, "Whee!" + +Ben sees Lily having fun. He thinks maybe he can try the slide too. He walks to the ladder and starts to climb. He reaches the first step. He feels proud. He reaches the second step. He feels brave. He reaches the third step. He feels nervous. + +He looks down and sees a big dog. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth and a loud bark. It runs to the slide and jumps on it. It wants to play with Lily. + +"Help, help!" Lily shouts. She sees the dog coming up the slide. She is scared. The dog is bad. It might bite her. + +Ben hears Lily's shout. He forgets his fear. He climbs up the ladder fast. He reaches the top of the slide. He sees the dog and Lily. He shouts, "Go away, dog! Leave Lily alone!" + +He pushes the dog with his foot. The dog falls off the slide. It lands on the grass. It runs away, whimpering. + +Lily hugs Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben! You are brave and kind. You saved me from the bad dog." + +Ben hugs Lily back. He says, "You are welcome, Lily. You are fun and sweet. You made me try the slide." + +They smile and slide down together. They laugh and say, "Whee!" +Sara likes to wear her red dress. It has flowers and buttons and a big bow. She wears it when she goes to the park with Mommy and Daddy. She likes to play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. + +One day, Sara sees a big dog at the park. It is brown and furry and has a long tail. Sara loves dogs. She runs to the dog and says, "Hi, doggy! Can I pet you?" The dog barks and wags its tail. Sara thinks the dog is happy to see her. + +But the dog is not happy. The dog is scared of Sara. The dog does not like strangers. The dog bites Sara on her arm. Sara screams and cries. Her arm is hurt. It is bleeding and sore. Mommy and Daddy run to Sara and hug her. They take her to the car and drive to the doctor. + +The doctor is nice. He gives Sara a band-aid and a sticker. He tells Sara to be careful with dogs. He says, "Not all dogs are friendly. You have to ask the owner before you pet a dog. And you have to be gentle and calm. Dogs can sense your feelings." + +Sara nods and says, "I'm sorry, doggy. I didn't mean to scare you. I hope you are not mad at me." The doctor smiles and says, "I'm sure the dog is not mad at you. He was just scared too. Maybe next time you can make friends with him." + +Sara feels better. She goes home with Mommy and Daddy. They give her a hug and a kiss and a book. The book is about dogs. Sara likes the book. She learns about different kinds of dogs and how to be nice to them. She hopes to meet a friendly dog soon. She still likes to wear her red dress. But she also likes to wear her band-aid and her sticker. They remind her of the dog and the doctor and the book. +Lily was very hungry. She wanted to eat her lunch. But Mommy said she had to wait. Mommy was busy with her new baby. Lily did not like the new baby. The new baby was loud and smelly and took Mommy's time. + +Lily saw her lunch on the table. It was a sandwich and some grapes. Lily loved sandwiches and grapes. She decided to take her lunch and eat it in her room. She did not want to share with the new baby. + +She grabbed her lunch and ran to her room. She closed the door and sat on her bed. She opened the sandwich and took a big bite. It was yummy. She smiled and reached for a grape. + +But then she felt something move in her mouth. She spit out the sandwich and saw a big green worm. The worm was wiggling and slimy. Lily was scared and disgusted. She screamed. + +Mommy heard Lily scream and ran to her room.

I took it from the table. I was hungry." + +Mommy shook her head and said, "Lily, that was not your lunch. That was the new baby's lunch. I made it with special bread and worms. The new baby likes worms. They are good for him. You should not take things that are not yours. That was very naughty." + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She did not know the sandwich was for the new baby. She did not know the new baby liked worms. She wished she had waited for Mommy. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, new baby. I don't like worms. Can I have a different lunch?" + +Mommy sighed and said, "No, Lily. You cannot have a different lunch. You have to eat the sandwich and the worms. That is your punishment.

They liked to play on the farm. They liked to feed the animals and run in the grass. One day, they saw a new animal. It was a goat. The goat had horns and a beard. It looked funny. + +"Hello, goat!" Lily said. "What is your name?" + +The goat did not answer. It just ate some hay. Lily and Tom laughed. They wanted to pet the goat. They went closer to the fence. + +"Be careful," the farmer said. "The goat is clumsy. He can break things with his horns. He can forget the rules. He can jump over the fence." + +Lily and Tom did not listen. They thought the goat was nice. They reached out their hands. The goat came closer. He licked their fingers. They giggled. + +"See, he is friendly," Tom said. "He likes us." + +"Yes, he does," Lily said.

"The goat is clumsy. He broke our ball. He made a mess." + +The farmer came. He was angry. He caught the goat. He put him back in the fence. He scolded him. + +"Bad goat!" the farmer said.

Lily said. + +They put their hands in the fountain and felt the water splash on their fingers. They laughed and smiled. + +But then, they saw something shiny in the fountain.

She saw the knife and the blood. She called 911 and tried to stop the bleeding. + +But it was too late. Lily had lost too much blood and she was not breathing. The lady tried to do CPR, but it did not work. The ambulance came, but they could not save Lily. She was gone. + +Ben was sad and angry. He blamed himself for not stopping Lily. He blamed the knife for being sharp. He blamed the fountain for hiding the knife. He wished he had never seen the fountain. He wished he had never played in the park. He wished he still had his sister. He cried and cried. He was alone. +Mia and Ben are playing hide and seek in the living room. Mia is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben looks for a good place to hide. He sees a big curtain that covers the window. He thinks it is a good place to hide. He runs to the curtain and pulls it aside. He slips behind the curtain and waits for Mia to find him. + +The curtain is smooth and soft. Ben likes how it feels on his skin. He also likes how it makes the room dark and quiet. He thinks he is very clever and Mia will never find him. He giggles to himself. + +Mia counts to ten and then opens her eyes. She looks around the living room. She sees the sofa, the table, the lamp, the rug, the toys, but she does not see Ben. She wonders where he is. She walks around the room and calls his name. "Ben, where are you? I'm coming to find you!" + +Ben hears Mia's voice. He tries to be quiet, but he is too excited. He giggles again. The curtain moves a little. Mia sees the curtain move. She smiles.

It was high and round and red. They wanted to touch it. They asked their mom if they could go up to the cloud. Their mom said no. She said the cloud was too high and too far. She said they had to stay on the ground. She said they could play with their own balloons. + +Tom and Mia were sad. They wanted to see the cloud up close. They thought it would be fun. They had an idea. They took their balloons and tied them to their wrists. They hoped the balloons would lift them up to the cloud. They let go of the balloons and waited. + +But nothing happened. The balloons did not lift them up. They only stayed in the air for a little while. Then they popped. Tom and Mia heard a loud noise. They looked up. The cloud that looked like a balloon was gone. It had popped too. It was not a cloud. It was a big red balloon that someone had let go. Tom and Mia laughed. They realized they had been fooled. They did not mind. They had fun playing with the clouds. They went to find more clouds that looked like things. +Tom likes to collect cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He plays with them every day on the floor of his room. He makes them zoom and crash and honk. + +One day, he sees a big truck outside his window.

I will share my toys with Lily. Can I keep them?" + +Anna's mom smiled. She was glad that Anna changed her mind. + +"Yes, you can keep them, but only if you share them.
