She sees a pair of feet. + +"Found you, Ben!" Lily shouts. + +Ben jumps out from behind the bench and laughs. "You are a good seeker, Lily!" + +They hear a loud noise. They look up and see a big truck. The truck is wide and noisy. It has a lot of boxes on it. The truck stops near the park. + +"What is that, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Let's go see!" Lily says. + +They run to the truck and see a man. The man is wearing a hat and a shirt with a name on it. The name says Tom. + +"Hello, kids. I'm Tom. I'm here to deliver some toys to the park. Do you want to help me?" Tom says. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say. + +Tom smiles and opens the back of the truck. He shows them the toys. There are balls, dolls, cars, books, and puzzles. Lily and Ben are very happy. They help Tom carry the toys to the park. They put them in a big box. Tom thanks them for their help and gives them each a sticker. + +"Have fun, kids. Enjoy the toys!" Tom says. + +"Thank you, Tom. Bye!" Lily and Ben say. + +They wave to Tom as he drives away. They look at the big box of toys. They are very excited. They can't wait to play with them. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with their trucks in the backyard. Lily had a big red truck and Ben had a small blue truck. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. + +"Look at my truck, Lily!" Ben said. "It can perform a jump over this rock!" + +He pushed his truck hard and it flew over the rock, landing on the grass. + +"Wow, that was cool, Ben!" Lily said. "But my truck can perform a spin on this hill!" + +She rolled her truck down the hill and it spun around, making her giggle. + +"That was fun, Lily!" Ben said. "But can your truck perform a crash?" + +He ran towards her truck and bumped it with his truck, making both of them fall over. + +"Hey, stop that, Ben!" Lily said. "You made my truck dirty and scratched!" + +She picked up her truck and hugged it, feeling sad. + +"I'm sorry, Lily!" Ben said. "I didn't mean to hurt your truck. I just wanted to play with you." + +He looked at his truck and saw that it was also dirty and scratched. + +"Maybe we can wash our trucks and make them clean and colorful again," he suggested. + +"Okay, Ben," Lily said. "But next time, be more careful with my truck. It's my favorite toy." + +They took their trucks to the hose and sprayed them with water, making them shiny and bright. + +"Look, our trucks are happy now!" Ben said. + +"Yes, they are," Lily said. "And so are we." + +They smiled and hugged each other, then continued to play with their trucks in the backyard. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they would quarrel over their toys and make each other sad. One day, they found a big box in the garage and decided to make a fort with it. They cut out a door and a window and put some pillows and blankets inside. + +"This is our fort, and we are the kings and queens," Lily said. + +"No, I am the king and you are the queen," Ben said. + +"Why can't we both be kings and queens?" Lily asked. + +"Because there can only be one king and one queen, and I am older by two minutes," Ben said. + +They started to quarrel and push each other. Lily tried to grab the box, but Ben pulled it away. Lily stumbled and hurt her toe on a sharp rock. She cried out in pain and tears came to her eyes. + +"Ow, ow, ow! You hurt me, Ben! You are a mean brother!" Lily said. + +Ben felt sorry for Lily and saw that her toe was bleeding. He stopped quarreling and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. You are a nice sister," Ben said. + +He ran to get a band-aid and some water. He cleaned Lily's toe and put the band-aid on it. He kissed her cheek and said, "There, all better. Do you want to play with me in the fort?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. And we can both be kings and queens, okay?" + +"Okay," Ben said. + +They went back to the fort and played happily. They forgot about their quarrel and shared their toys. The sun came out and chased away the gloomy clouds. Lily and Ben were glad that they were twins who liked to play together. +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair and a blue dress. Anna likes to brush Lily's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Anna finds a big cloth in her mom's closet. The cloth is blue and soft. Anna thinks it is pretty. She wants to make something for Lily with the cloth. She asks her mom, "Can I use this cloth, please?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. What do you want to make?" + +Anna says, "I want to make a blanket for Lily. She is cold at night." + +Her mom says, "That is very nice of you. Do you need help?" + +Anna says, "No, thank you. I can do it by myself." + +Anna takes the cloth and a pair of scissors. She goes to her room and starts to cut the cloth. She cuts a big square and a small square. She puts the small square on top of the big square. She tries to sew them together with a needle and a thread. But it is hard. The needle is sharp and the thread is thin. Anna pricks her finger and says, "Ow!" + +Lily says, "Are you okay, Anna?" + +Anna says, "Yes, I am. I just hurt my finger a little. But I am not giving up. I want to finish the blanket for you." + +Lily says, "You are very brave, Anna. And very kind. I love you." + +Anna says, "I love you too, Lily. You are my best friend." + +Anna keeps sewing until the blanket is done. It is not perfect, but it is warm and cozy. She wraps Lily in the blanket and gives her a hug. She says, "Here you go, Lily. Now you will not be cold at night." + +Lily says, "Thank you, Anna. This is the best gift ever. You are the best." + +Anna smiles and says, "You are welcome, Lily. Now let's go to sleep. Good night." + +Lily says, "Good night, Anna." + +They snuggle together and fall asleep. They dream of blue skies and soft clouds. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. But it was very hot and sunny. They felt thirsty and tired. + +"Let's find some shade," Lily said. "We can rest and drink some water." + +They looked around and saw a big tree. It had many leaves and branches. It looked cool and dark under the tree. + +"Come on, Tom," Lily said. "Let's go to the tree." + +They ran to the tree and sat under it. They drank some water from their bottles. They felt better. + +"Look, Tom," Lily said. "There is a hole in the tree. Maybe we can go inside and see what is there." + +Lily was very creative. She liked to imagine and explore. Tom was curious too. He wanted to see the hole. + +"OK, Lily," Tom said. "Let's go inside. But be careful. It might be dark and scary." + +They crawled into the hole. It was dark and narrow. They could not see much. They felt some dirt and roots and bugs. + +"Wow, this is fun," Lily said. "Maybe we can find some treasure or animals." + +They went deeper into the hole. They did not know that the hole was the home of a snake. The snake was sleeping in the back of the hole. It heard some noise and woke up. It saw two small creatures in its home. It was angry and hungry. + +The snake hissed and slithered towards Tom and Lily. They heard the hiss and saw the snake. They were scared and screamed. + +"Help, help, a snake, a snake!" Tom and Lily shouted. "Let's escape, let's escape!" + +They tried to escape, but the hole was too tight. They could not turn around or go back. The snake was faster and stronger. It reached them and bit them. Tom and Lily felt pain and poison. They cried and fainted. + +The snake ate them and went back to sleep. No one heard their cries or saw their bodies. They were gone. The end. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the sand near the water. They made castles and bridges and tunnels with their buckets and shovels. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs and shells in the water. They were careful not to go too deep. + +One day, they saw a big fin in the water. It was a shark! The shark was looking for food. It saw Tom and Mia and swam towards them. Tom and Mia were scared. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. + +"Mom, dad, there is a shark in the water!" Tom shouted. + +"A shark? Where?" Mom asked. + +"There, look!" Mia pointed. + +Mom and dad saw the shark too. They grabbed their things and told Tom and Mia to follow them. They ran to the car and drove away. + +"Are you okay, kids?" Dad asked. + +"Yes, we are okay. But we are sad. We liked our sand castles," Mia said. + +"Me too. Can we come back another day?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe, but not here. This is not a safe place to play. The shark lives here. We need to find a different beach," Mom said. + +"Okay, mom. But can we please have some ice cream on the way home?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, you can. You were very brave and smart to run away from the shark. You are successful kids," Dad said. + +Tom and Mia smiled. They were happy to have ice cream and to be safe. They hoped the shark would find some fish to eat and leave them alone. +Tom loves hockey. He has a hockey stick and a puck. He plays hockey with his dad in the yard. He wants to be a hockey star. + +One day, Tom wakes up early. He hears a noise outside. He looks out the window. He sees snow. Lots of snow. He is very happy. He wants to play hockey in the snow. + +He runs to his dad's room. He shakes his dad. He says, "Dad, dad, wake up! Let's play hockey in the snow!" + +His dad opens his eyes. He is not happy. He is tired. He says, "Tom, it's too early. Go back to bed. We can play hockey later." + +Tom is sad. He does not want to go back to bed. He wants to play hockey now. He says, "But dad, the snow is so nice. Please, please, let's play hockey." + +His dad is angry. He says, "Tom, stop it. You are being noisy. You are waking up mom and sis. You are being rude. Go back to bed. Now." + +Tom is ashamed. He knows he is being rude. He says, "Sorry, dad. Sorry, mom. Sorry, sis." He goes back to his room. He puts his hockey stick and puck away. He lies down on his bed. He feels bad. + +He hopes his dad will play hockey with him later. He hopes his dad will not be mad at him. He hopes his mom and sis will not be mad at him. He hopes he can be a hockey star. He closes his eyes. He tries to sleep. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They saw a big pile of pebbles near the slide. Tom had an idea. + +"Let's play a game," he said. "We each take a pebble and throw it as far as we can. The one who throws the farthest wins." + +Sam agreed. He picked a small, round pebble and threw it with all his might. It flew in the air and landed on the grass. Tom picked a big, flat pebble and threw it with a twist. It spun in the air and landed on the path. + +"I win!" Tom shouted. "My pebble went farther than yours." + +Sam was sad. He thought Tom was not fair. He said, "You cheated. You used a flat pebble. That's easier to throw. You should use a round pebble like me." + +Tom laughed. He said, "You are foolish. A flat pebble is better than a round pebble. It cuts through the air. You are just a sore loser." + +Sam was angry. He said, "No, you are foolish. A round pebble is better than a flat pebble. It is smoother and lighter. You are just a bad winner." + +They started to argue and call each other names. They forgot to have fun. They did not notice that a big dog came and took their pebbles away. The dog ran away with a wagging tail. Tom and Sam were left with nothing. They realized they were both foolish. They said sorry to each other and decided to play another game. They learned to be good friends and good players. +Lily and Tom are playing with their dolls. They like to dress them up and make them talk. Lily has a pink dress for her doll and Tom has a blue shirt for his doll. They are having fun. + +But then, Lily sees a loose thread on her dress. She does not like it. She wants to pull it off. She thinks it will make her dress tidy. She does not ask Tom or Mom for help. She pulls the thread hard. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "The thread is not coming off. It is making the dress smaller and smaller. Look, Tom, my doll has no dress now. It is all gone!" + +Tom looks at Lily's doll. He is sad for Lily. He likes her doll. He wants to help her. He says, "Maybe we can find another dress for your doll. Or we can ask Mom to fix it. Come on, Lily, let's go and see." + +But Lily is angry. She does not want another dress. She does not want Mom to fix it. She wants her pink dress back. She thinks it is Tom's fault. She says, "No, Tom, you are bad. You made the thread loose. You ruined my dress. Go away!" + +She pushes Tom away. She makes him fall. He hits his head on the floor. He cries. He is hurt. Mom hears him cry. She rushes to see what happened. She sees Tom on the floor and Lily with her doll. She is mad at Lily. She says, "Lily, what did you do? Why did you push Tom? Why did you pull the thread? You are naughty. You have to say sorry to Tom and share your toys. And you have to go to your room. No more playing for you today." + +Lily feels bad. She knows she did wrong. She wants to say sorry to Tom and Mom. But she is too late. Mom takes her to her room. She closes the door. Lily is alone. She has no doll. She has no dress. She has no friend. She cries. She wishes she did not pull the thread. She wishes she was tidy and nice. She wishes she could play with Tom again. But she can't. She has a bad ending. +Sara likes to drive her toy car. She has a red car with four wheels and a horn. She drives it around the house and makes vroom-vroom noises. She likes to pretend she is going to the park or the store or the zoo. + +One day, she sees a pretty flower on the side of the road. It is yellow and has many petals. She stops her car and gets out. She picks the flower and smells it. It smells sweet and nice. She puts it in her hair and smiles. + +But then, she hears a loud bark. It is a big dog that lives next door. The dog does not like Sara or her car. He runs towards her and growls. He wants to bite her and her car. Sara is scared and cries. + +She runs back to her car and gets in. She drives away as fast as she can. She honks her horn and yells, "Go away, bad dog! Leave me alone!" She drives to her house and parks her car. She runs inside and hugs her mom. + +Her mom sees the flower in her hair and the tears in her eyes. She asks, "What happened, Sara?" Sara tells her about the dog and the flower. Her mom says, "I'm sorry, Sara. That dog is mean and rude. But you are brave and smart. And you have a pretty flower. I love you, Sara." She kisses her and gives her a cookie. Sara feels better and smiles. She loves her mom and her car. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They named him Frosty. + +"Hello, Frosty!" Lily said. "You are our new friend." + +"Yes, you are," Ben agreed. "But you look cold. Do you want a hug?" + +They hugged Frosty and he smiled. But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It was coming fast. It was going to hit Frosty. + +"Watch out, Frosty!" Lily shouted. "The truck is coming!" + +"Run, Lily, run!" Ben yelled. "We have to get out of the way!" + +They ran to the side of the road. But Frosty was still in the middle. The truck was getting closer. Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want Frosty to get hurt. + +"Help, help!" they cried. "Someone, please help Frosty!" + +Then they saw a man. He was wearing a blue uniform. He had a badge and a whistle. He was a police officer. He saw the truck and Frosty. He blew his whistle and waved his hand. He stopped the truck. + +"Stop, stop!" he said. "You can't drive here. This is a no-truck zone. You have to follow the order." + +The truck driver was sorry. He did not see Frosty. He did not mean to hurt him. He said he was sorry and backed up. He drove away. + +The police officer walked to Frosty. He checked him. He was okay. He did not lose his nose or his eyes. He did not break his hat or his scarf. He was still smiling. + +"You are a lucky snowman," the police officer said. "You have two good friends. They love you very much. They tried to rescue you." + +Lily and Ben ran to Frosty. They hugged him again. They thanked the police officer. They were happy. Frosty was safe. + +"Thank you, thank you!" they said. "You are a hero. You saved Frosty." + +The police officer smiled. He was glad. He liked to help people. And snowmen. + +"You are welcome, welcome," he said. "But now you have to go home. It is getting dark. And icy. You don't want to catch a cold." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said goodbye to Frosty. They said they would come back tomorrow. They took their sled and went home. They held hands. They were warm. And happy. +Ben and Lily wanted to play outside, but it was raining. They were bored and sad. They looked at the window and saw a big puddle of mud. They had an idea. + +"Let's plan a mud party!" Ben said. "We can make mud pies and mud castles and mud paintings!" + +Lily nodded. "That sounds incredible! But we need to ask Mom first." + +They ran to Mom and asked if they could play in the mud. Mom smiled and said yes, but they had to wear their rain boots and coats, and they had to clean up afterwards. Ben and Lily agreed and thanked Mom. + +They put on their rain gear and went outside. They had so much fun in the mud. They made all kinds of things with the mud and laughed and splashed. They were very happy. + +After a while, they heard Mom calling them. It was time to go inside and have a bath. They cleaned up their mess and went inside. They took off their dirty clothes and got into the tub. They washed off the mud and sang songs. + +Mom came and dried them with a towel. She hugged them and said she was proud of them for being creative and responsible. Ben and Lily smiled and said they loved Mom. They had a great day. +Lily had a diary. She liked to write and draw in it every day. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams, and her feelings. She drew pictures of flowers, animals, stars, and rainbows. She kept her diary under her pillow, where no one could see it. + +One day, her brother Tom found her diary. He was curious and wanted to read it. He took it from under her pillow and opened it. He saw Lily's words and drawings. He laughed and said, "This is silly. You write like a baby. And your drawings are ugly. You are not a good writer or artist." + +Lily heard him and ran to her room. She was angry and sad. She said, "Give me back my diary. It is mine. You are not allowed to read it. It is rude and mean. You hurt my feelings." + +Tom did not listen. He said, "No, I will not give it back. I will show it to everyone. They will laugh at you too. You are a crybaby. You are not brave." + +Lily felt scared and hurt. She did not want everyone to see her diary. She did not want to be laughed at. She wanted to hide. But then she remembered something. She remembered that her diary was her special thing. She remembered that she liked to write and draw. She remembered that she was proud of her words and drawings. She remembered that she was brave. + +She said, "No, you will not show it to everyone. You will give it back to me. It is my diary. I write and draw what I want. I do not care what you think. You are not nice. You are not my friend." + +She grabbed her diary from Tom's hands. She held it tight. She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I am sorry, Lily. Tom was wrong. He should not have taken your diary. He should not have said those things. He should apologize. You did the right thing. You stood up for yourself. You are brave. I am proud of you." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my diary. It is my special thing." She kissed her mom and went to her bed. She put her diary under her pillow. She felt happy and safe. She wrote and drew some more. She wrote, "I am brave. I am a good writer and artist. I have a special thing." She drew a heart around her words. She closed her diary and fell asleep. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But they did not like to share. They always wanted the same toy or the same spot. + +One day, they saw a shiny thing on the grass. It was a crystal. It sparkled in the sun. Tom and Mia both wanted it. They ran to it and grabbed it at the same time. + +"Let go! It's mine!" Tom said. + +"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Mia said. + +They pulled and pulled. They did not listen to each other. They did not see the big dog that was coming. The dog liked shiny things too. He barked and jumped. He wanted the crystal. + +Tom and Mia were scared. They let go of the crystal. The dog took it in his mouth and ran away. Tom and Mia cried. They had lost the crystal. They had no toy to play with. + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They had been silly. They had not shared. They had complained too much. They had missed the fun. + +They hugged and said sorry. They decided to be friends. They decided to share. They went to find another toy. They hoped the dog was happy with the crystal. They learned a serious lesson. +Ben was eager to go to the forest with his dad. He liked to see the big trees and the animals that lived there. He also liked to help his dad with his work. His dad was a woodcutter. He used a big axe to chop the trees and make them into logs. + +Ben admired his dad's axe. It was shiny and sharp and made a loud noise when it hit the wood. Ben wanted to hold the axe and try to chop a tree too. But his dad said the axe was too heavy and dangerous for him. He said Ben could help by picking up the small branches and putting them in a pile. + +Ben did as his dad said. He worked hard and made a big pile of branches. He felt proud and happy. He hoped his dad would be proud and happy too. He looked at his dad and saw him smiling. His dad put down his axe and came over to Ben. He hugged him and said, "You are a great helper, Ben. I admire you very much. You are my best friend." Ben hugged his dad back and said, "I love you, dad. You are my hero." They both laughed and went home together. +Lila was very happy. She had a new toy. It was a big box with many things inside. She could make a house, a car, a robot, or anything she wanted. The box said it had 100 pieces. That was a lot of pieces. + +She wanted to show her toy to her friend Ben. She called him on the phone. "Ben, I have a new toy. It is very fun. Do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +"Yes, I do. What is your toy?" Ben said. + +"It is a big box with many things inside. You can make anything you want. It has 100 pieces. That is a lot of pieces," Lila said. + +"Wow, that sounds great. I will come to your house soon," Ben said. + +Lila waited for Ben. She opened the box and took out some pieces. She started to make a house. She used four pieces for the walls, one piece for the roof, and one piece for the door. She was very proud of her house. + +Ben came to Lila's house. He saw her house. He liked it. He said, "Lila, your house is very nice. Can I play with you?" + +Lila smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. I have many more pieces. We can make more things. Do you want to make a car, a robot, or something else?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He said, "I want to make a car. A car can go fast and make noise. How many pieces do we need for a car?" + +Lila looked at the box. She saw a picture of a car. She counted the pieces. She said, "We need eight pieces for a car. Four pieces for the wheels, two pieces for the body, one piece for the window, and one piece for the horn." + +Ben nodded. He said, "OK, let's make a car. You can help me. We can share the pieces." + +Lila agreed. She said, "OK, let's share the pieces. Sharing is good. Sharing shows we are friends. Friends are very important. They have a lot of value." + +Ben smiled. He said, "Yes, you are right. Friends have a lot of value. You are my friend. I am your friend. We have fun together. We include each other. We are happy." + +Lila and Ben hugged. They said, "We are happy. We have a new toy. We have each other. We are friends." They started to make a car. They had a lot of fun. +Tim and Jen were friends. They liked to play in the park. One evening, they found a green ball in the grass. They wanted to play with it. + +"Let me have it!" Tim said. He tried to grab the ball from Jen. + +"No, it's mine!" Jen said. She held the ball tight. + +They pulled and pushed. They did not share. They were angry. + +Then, a big dog came. It saw the ball. It ran to them. It barked loud. + +"Help!" Tim and Jen said. They were scared. + +The dog set its teeth on the ball. It bit hard. It tore the ball apart. It made a hole. + +The ball was broken. Tim and Jen were sad. They cried. + +They lost the ball. They lost their fun. They learned a lesson. They should have shared. +Jill liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a long white veil in a box and put it on her head. She felt like a princess. She ran to show her mom, who was in the kitchen. + +But on the way, she saw something scary. A big black dog was barking at her from the fence. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. Jill was afraid. She wanted to run away, but the veil was stuck on the fence. She could not move. + +She started to scream. She screamed very loud. She hoped her mom would hear her and help her. She wished she had not put on the veil. + +Her mom heard her scream and came running. She saw the dog and the veil. She grabbed a stick and chased the dog away. She freed Jill from the fence and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, Jill?" she asked. "You were very brave. You did not let the dog hurt you." + +Jill nodded. She was okay, but she was still scared. She did not want to play dress-up anymore. She wanted to stay with her mom. + +She gave the veil back to her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not mean to take your veil. It is not for me. It is for you." + +Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Jill. You can play with it another time. But maybe not near the fence. The dog does not like veils. He thinks they are ghosts." + +Jill laughed. She did not think veils were ghosts. She thought they were pretty. But she agreed with her mom. She would play with something else. She would play with her dolls. They were not scary. They were nice. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play near the river. One day, it rained a lot and the river became big and fast. Tim and Sam's mom told them to stay away from the river, but they did not listen. They wanted to see the water and the fish. + +They ran to the river and saw that it was very high and noisy. They saw some logs and sticks floating on the water. Tim had an idea. He said to Sam, "Let's make a boat with these logs and sticks. We can sail on the river and have fun." + +Sam thought it was a good idea, too. He said, "Yes, let's do that. It will be fun." They worked hard to tie the logs and sticks together with some vines. They made a boat and put it on the water. They climbed on the boat and started to paddle with their hands. + +But the river was too fast and strong. It pushed the boat away from the shore. Tim and Sam were scared. They tried to paddle back, but they could not. They shouted for help, but no one heard them. The river took them far away from their home. + +Mom was looking for Tim and Sam. She saw their boat on the river and ran after it. She was very worried and angry. She called out to them, "Tim! Sam! Come back! The river is dangerous! You should have listened to me!" + +But Tim and Sam could not hear her. They were too far away. They saw a big rock in the water. It was in their way. They could not avoid it. The boat hit the rock and broke. Tim and Sam fell into the water. They were wet and cold. They cried for help. + +Mom saw what happened. She ran to the nearest bridge and crossed it. She saw Tim and Sam in the water. She jumped in and swam to them. She grabbed them and pulled them to the shore. She hugged them and said, "Thank God you are safe. I was so scared. Why did you go to the river? You know it is dangerous when there is a flood. You could have drowned." + +Tim and Sam were sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were foolish. We wanted to have fun, but we did not think of the danger. We should have listened to you. You know what is best for us. We will never do that again." + +Mom said, "I am glad you are sorry. I love you very much. But you have to be careful and obey me. I tell you things for your own good. The river is not a toy. It can be very dangerous. You have to respect it and stay away from it when there is a flood. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Sam said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will respect the river and obey you. Thank you for saving us. You are the best mom in the world." + +Mom said, "You are welcome, my boys. Now let's go home and get dry and warm. And remember, be wise and slow, not foolish and fast." +Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They wanted to give him a face, but they had no carrot for his nose. + +"Look, there is an ornament on that tree," Max said. He pointed to a shiny red ball hanging from a branch. "We can use it for his nose." + +Lily shook her head. "No, we can't. That is not our tree. That is Mrs. Green's tree. She is very mean. She will be angry if we take her ornament." + +Max did not care. He ran to the tree and reached for the ornament. He pulled hard, but it did not come off. It was stuck with icy glue. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mrs. Green shouted. She came out of her house and saw Max. She was holding a broom. "Get away from my tree, you naughty boy!" + +Max was scared. He let go of the ornament and ran back to Lily. Mrs. Green followed him with her broom. She was very mad. + +"Leave us alone, Mrs. Green!" Lily said. She stood in front of Max and the snowman. "We just wanted to make a nose for our snowman. We did not mean to hurt your tree." + +Mrs. Green looked at the snowman. She saw his hat and his scarf. She saw his eyes and his mouth. She saw his empty nose. She felt a little sorry for him. + +"Fine, fine," she said. She put down her broom. She took off the ornament from her tree. She gave it to Lily. "Here, take this. You can use it for his nose. But don't touch my tree again, understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They thanked Mrs. Green. They put the ornament on the snowman's nose. He looked very happy. + +Mrs. Green smiled a little. She went back to her house. She was not so mean after all. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They find a big stick on the ground. They want to play with the stick. + +"Let's pass the stick to each other!" Tom says. He throws the stick to Sam. + +Sam catches the stick. He throws it back to Tom. "This is fun!" he says. + +They pass the stick to each other many times. They laugh and run. They are happy. + +But then a dog sees the stick. The dog likes sticks too. The dog is crazy. He runs to the stick. He barks and jumps. + +"Hey, that's our stick!" Tom says. He tries to get the stick from the dog. + +But the dog is faster. He grabs the stick in his mouth. He runs away with the stick. + +"Come back, dog!" Sam says. He chases the dog. + +But the dog is too far. He disappears with the stick. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They lose their stick. They look at each other. + +"Let's find another stick!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Sam says. + +They smile and run. They look for another stick. They are friends. +Anna likes to swim in the pool. The pool is big and blue and has a slide. Anna puts on her white hat and her white swimsuit. She runs to the pool and jumps in. She feels the water splash on her face. + +Anna swims to the slide and climbs up. She sees a bird in the sky. The bird is black and has a sharp beak. The bird flies down and lands on the slide. Anna is scared. She does not like the bird. She wants the bird to go away. + +Anna shouts at the bird. "Go away, bird! This is my slide!" The bird does not listen. It pecks at Anna's hat. It makes a hole in the hat. Anna feels the bird's sharp beak on her head. She cries. She wants her mom. + +Anna's mom hears Anna cry. She runs to the pool and sees the bird. She scares the bird away. She hugs Anna and takes her to the shade. She puts a band-aid on Anna's head. She gives Anna a juice and a cookie. She says, "I'm sorry, Anna. That was a bad bird. You are brave and strong. I love you." + +Anna feels better. She smiles and says, "I love you too, mom. Can I swim again?" Her mom says, "Yes, you can. But be careful of the bird. And wear your other hat. The white one has a hole." Anna nods and says, "OK, mom. Thank you." She puts on her other hat and runs to the pool. She has fun with the slide and the water. She forgets about the bird. She is happy. +Tom and Sam like to play with a ball. They have a basket on a wall. They try to shoot the ball in the basket. It is fun. + +One day, a big boy comes. He has a ball too. He says, "This is my basket. Go away." He pushes Tom and Sam. He is bad. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They do not want to go away. They want to play. They say, "No, this is our basket. You are bad. Go away." + +The big boy laughs. He says, "You are too small. You cannot shoot. Watch me." He shoots the ball. But he misses. The ball hits his head. He cries. + +Tom and Sam smile. They say, "You are not good. You cannot shoot. We can shoot." They shoot the ball. They make it in the basket. They are happy. They say, "This is our basket. You go away." + +The big boy runs away. He is mad. Tom and Sam play with the ball. They are friends. They are good. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big closet. Sometimes they hide in the closet and pretend it is a secret place. + +One day, they hear a loud noise outside. They are scared. They run to the closet and close the door. They hug each other and whisper. + +"What is that noise?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a monster." Ben says. + +"Or a big dog. Or a bad man." Anna says. + +They hear the noise again. It sounds like a roar. They shiver. + +"Maybe we should call Mommy or Daddy." Ben says. + +"But they are downstairs. They can't hear us." Anna says. + +"Maybe we should open the door and look." Ben says. + +"But what if the monster is there?" Anna says. + +They are quiet for a moment. They think. + +Then they hear a voice. It is Mommy. + +"Anna, Ben, where are you? I have a surprise for you." Mommy says. + +They recognize Mommy's voice. They feel happy. + +"Mommy is here. She will protect us." Ben says. + +"Yes, she will. We can trust Mommy." Anna says. + +They open the door and see Mommy. She smiles and holds a big box. + +"Look what I have for you. A beautiful new dress for Anna and a beautiful new shirt for Ben. I made them for you." Mommy says. + +Anna and Ben are amazed. They love the new clothes. They hug Mommy and thank her. + +They forget about the noise. They try on the new clothes and look at themselves in the mirror. They feel proud and happy. + +They don't know that the noise was just a truck passing by. They don't care. They have Mommy and each other. They have a beautiful closet and a beautiful day. +One day, Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They liked to make up stories with their toys and pretend they were on adventures. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They put them on the bed and said they were going to a faraway land. + +But when they looked under the bed, they saw something strange. It was a sock, but not one of their socks. It was big and red and had yellow spots. It looked very old and dirty. Lily and Tom wondered who it belonged to and how it got there. + +"Look, a sock!" Lily said, and pointed at it. "Maybe it is a clue for our story. Maybe it is from the faraway land." + +"Or maybe it is a mysterious sock," Tom said, and picked it up. "Maybe it has magic powers. Maybe it can talk or fly or make wishes come true." + +Lily and Tom decided to try the sock. They put it on their hand and made it talk in funny voices. They threw it in the air and caught it. They wished for candy and ice cream and toys. But nothing happened. The sock was just a sock. + +They were a little disappointed, but they still had fun. They made up a new story about the sock and how it came to their room. They said it was a lost sock from a giant or a clown or a pirate. They laughed and played until their mom called them for dinner. + +They put the sock back under the bed and forgot about it. But the next day, when they looked again, the sock was gone. They never found out where it came from or where it went. It was a mysterious sock. +Ben and Mia are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +"Look, our snowman is so happy!" Mia says. + +"Yes, he is. He likes the snow," Ben says. + +They run around the snowman and throw snowballs at each other. They laugh and have fun. + +Then, Ben notices something shiny in the snow. He goes closer and picks it up. It is a piece of ice. It is very cold and hard. + +"Wow, what is this?" Ben asks. + +He shows it to Mia. She touches it and feels how icy it is. + +"It is ice. It is frozen water," Mia says. + +She remembers what her mom told her about ice and snow. + +"Sometimes, when it is very cold, the water turns into ice. And when the ice falls from the sky, it makes snow," Mia explains. + +"That is amazing!" Ben says. + +He looks at the piece of ice and sees how it sparkles in the sun. + +"Can we keep it?" he asks. + +"Sure, but we have to be careful. It might melt if it gets warm," Mia says. + +They decide to put the piece of ice in the snowman's hand. They think he will like it too. + +"Here you go, Mr. Snowman. This is a gift for you," Ben says. + +"Thank you, Ben and Mia. You are very kind," the snowman says. + +Ben and Mia are surprised. They did not know the snowman could talk. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman. How are you?" Mia asks. + +"I am very well, thank you. I love the snow and the ice. And I love having friends like you," the snowman says. + +He smiles and winks at them. + +Ben and Mia smile back.

Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They liked their toys very much and did not want to share. + +"Can I play with your truck, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"No, this is my truck. You have your doll," Tom said. + +"But I want to try your truck. It looks fun," Lily said. + +"No, go away. This is my truck and I value it," Tom said. + +Lily was sad and angry. She thought Tom was mean and selfish. She had an idea. She was very clever. She went to the kitchen and got a cookie. She came back to the living room and showed the cookie to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I have a cookie. Do you want some?" Lily said. + +Tom saw the cookie and his eyes grew big. He loved cookies. He forgot about his truck. + +"Yes, please. Can I have some?" Tom said. + +"Sure, but you have to give me your truck first," Lily said. + +Tom thought for a moment. He wanted the cookie, but he also valued his truck. He did not know what to do. + +"Come on, Tom, give me your truck. The cookie is yummy," Lily said. + +Tom made up his mind. He gave his truck to Lily and took the cookie. He bit the cookie and smiled. It was yummy. + +Lily took the truck and played with it. She was happy. She had the truck and the doll. She thanked Tom for the truck. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are very nice. Do you want to play with me?" Lily said. + +Tom looked at Lily and the truck. He felt sorry. He missed his truck. He realized he had made a mistake. He wished he had not given his truck for a cookie. + +"Can I have my truck back, Lily?" Tom said. + +"No, this is my truck now. You gave it to me. You have your cookie," Lily said. + +Tom was sad and angry. He thought Lily was mean and selfish. He cried and ran to his mom. He learned a lesson.

Come and sit down. I will serve you the meat and the carrots." + +Tom and Anna run to the table. They sit down. Mom serves them the meat and the carrots. They say, "Thank you, mom. This looks yummy." + +They start to eat. They like the meat and the carrots. They make loud noises. They say, "Mmm, mmm, mmm." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I'm glad you like it. But please, eat quietly. You are too loud." + +Tom and Anna say, "Sorry, mom. We are just very hungry. And the meat is very tasty." + +They eat quietly. They finish their dinner. They say, "Thank you, mom. That was a good dinner." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, Tom and Anna. You are good helpers. Now, let's clean up and get ready for bed." +Tom is a dog. He likes to run and play and bark. He has a friend, Max, who is also a dog. They live in a big yard with a fence. + +One day, Tom and Max see a big truck outside the fence. The truck has many boxes. Tom and Max are curious. They want to see what is in the boxes. Maybe there are toys or treats or bones. + +Tom and Max run to the fence and bark at the truck. The man who drives the truck hears them. He smiles and gets out of the truck. He opens one of the boxes and takes out a big bone. He throws the bone over the fence for Tom and Max. + +Tom and Max are very happy. They run to the bone and sniff it. It smells good. It is hard and gray and has some meat on it. Tom and Max want to eat the bone. But they also want to share it. They are good friends. + +Tom and Max look at each other. They have an idea. They decide to delay eating the bone. They dig a hole in the ground and bury the bone. They cover it with dirt and grass. They think they can eat the bone later, when they are hungry. + +Tom and Max wag their tails and lick each other. They are proud of their plan. They run and play and bark again. They forget about the bone. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together in their room. They have many toys and books and a big bed. They feel comfortable in their room. + +One night, they hear a loud noise outside. It is an alarm. It makes a beep-beep-beep sound. They are scared. They do not know what it is. + +"Tom, what is that?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is a fire truck or a police car. They have alarms too," Tom says. + +"Should we go and see?" Lily says. + +"No, we should stay here. Mom and Dad will come and tell us what it is. They will keep us safe," Tom says. + +They hug each other and wait. They hope the alarm will stop soon. + +After a while, Mom and Dad come into their room. They smile and kiss them. + +"Hi, Tom and Lily. Are you okay?" Mom says. + +"Yes, Mom. We are okay. But what is that alarm?" Tom says. + +"It is a test, Tom. The people who live in our building have to send an alarm every month to check if it works. It is not a real emergency. It is just a sound," Dad says. + +"Oh, I see. So it is not scary?" Lily says. + +"No, Lily. It is not scary. It is just a sound. You can ignore it. It will stop soon," Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom. Thank you for telling us," Lily says. + +"You're welcome, Lily. Now, why don't you go back to sleep? You have a big day tomorrow. You are going to the zoo with your class," Dad says. + +"Yay, the zoo! I love the zoo. I want to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants," Tom says. + +"Me too, Tom. They are so fun and cute," Lily says. + +"Good, good. We are happy for you. Now, good night, Tom and Lily. We love you," Mom and Dad say. + +"Good night, Mom and Dad. We love you too," Tom and Lily say. + +They snuggle in their bed and close their eyes. They feel comfortable in their room. They do not hear the alarm anymore. They dream of the zoo. +Lily loved to bake with her mom. They made cakes, pies, and cookies. Lily liked to eat the sweet treats, but she also liked to share them with her friends. She was a kind and generous girl. + +One day, Lily and her mom baked a big cake for a party. They decorated it with frosting, sprinkles, and olives. Lily thought the olives looked like eyes. She thought the cake was very attractive. She wanted to show it to her friends. + +She asked her mom if she could take the cake to the park. Her mom said yes, but she told her to be careful and not to drop it. Lily promised to be careful. She put the cake in a box and carried it to the park. + +At the park, she saw her friends playing. She called them and showed them the cake. They were amazed by the cake. They said it looked delicious and pretty. They asked Lily if they could have a slice. Lily said yes, but she asked them to wait. She wanted to find a table and some plates. + +She looked around and saw a table under a tree. She walked towards it, holding the box. But she did not see a big rock on the ground. She tripped over the rock and fell. The box flew out of her hands and landed on the ground. The cake came out of the box and smashed on the grass. The frosting, sprinkles, and olives scattered everywhere. + +Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She had ruined the cake. She had nothing to share with her friends. She felt very bad. + +Her friends ran to her and helped her up. They hugged her and comforted her. They told her it was okay. They said they did not care about the cake. They cared about her. They said she was their friend and they loved her. They said they could still have fun together. + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She realized her friends were right. She did not need a cake to make them happy. She had something better. She had their friendship. She thanked them and hugged them back. She felt very happy. + +The moral of the story is: Friendship is more important than things. +Tim and Mia went to the store with Mom. They liked the store. It had many things to see and touch. Mom said they could pick one thing to buy. + +Tim saw a big box of gum. He liked gum. It was sweet and fun to chew. He asked Mom, "Can I have gum, please?" + +Mia saw a book of animals. She liked animals. They were cute and interesting. She asked Mom, "Can I have book, please?" + +Mom looked at the gum and the book. She smiled and said, "You can have both, but you have to share. Gum is not good for your teeth, so you can only have one piece each. Book is good for your mind, so you can read it together. OK?" + +Tim and Mia nodded and said, "OK, thank you, Mom!" They hugged Mom and took the gum and the book. They were happy. They went to the car and opened the gum and the book. They shared the gum and looked at the animals. They learned new words and made animal sounds. They had fun. Mom was proud of them. She drove them home. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their mom. Mom gave them each a lollipop to enjoy. Tom got a red one and Lily got a green one. + +But Lily did not like her green lollipop. She wanted a red one like Tom. She started to complain to mom. "Mom, I don't want this lollipop. It is yucky. I want a red one like Tom. Give me his lollipop!" + +Mom said, "No, Lily. You can't have Tom's lollipop. He chose it first. You have to be happy with what you have. Green is a nice color too. It is the color of grass and leaves and frogs. Try it, you might like it." + +But Lily did not listen to mom. She kept complaining and crying. She threw her green lollipop on the ground. She ran to Tom and tried to grab his red lollipop. Tom did not want to share his lollipop. He said, "No, Lily. This is my lollipop. You had your own. Go away!" + +Tom and Lily started to fight over the red lollipop. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the big black dog that was watching them. The dog liked lollipops too. He saw the green one on the ground and ate it. Then he saw the red one in Tom and Lily's hands. He ran to them and barked loudly. He scared Tom and Lily. He snatched the red lollipop from them and ran away. + +Tom and Lily were left with no lollipops. They were sad and angry. They blamed each other for losing their lollipops. They did not want to play together anymore. They went to mom and told her what happened. Mom was not happy. She said, "You see, this is what happens when you complain and fight. You lose what you have and make others unhappy. You should have been grateful and kind. Now you have no lollipops and no fun. You have to learn your lesson." + +The end. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their ball. One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to go up the hill and see the view. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Tom says. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The hill is steep and rocky," Lily says. + +They hold hands and start to climb the hill. They see trees and flowers and birds on the way. They are happy and excited. + +They reach the top of the hill and look around. They see the park, the road, the houses and the sky. They see a lot of colors and shapes. They think the view is beautiful. + +"Wow, look at the view, Lily! It's so pretty!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it's amazing! I can see everything!" Lily says. + +They sit on the grass and enjoy the view. They are proud of themselves for climbing the hill. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. They turn around and see their ball rolling down the hill. It hits a rock and bounces off. It hits another rock and bounces again. It is going faster and faster. + +"Oh no, our ball!" Tom and Lily shout. + +They get up and run after the ball. They try to catch it, but it is too fast. They see the ball reach the bottom of the hill and cross the road. They see a car coming towards the ball. + +"Stop, ball, stop!" Tom and Lily yell. + +But the ball does not stop. It goes under the car and pops. It is broken. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They love their ball. They cry and hug each other. + +A man gets out of the car and sees the ball. He sees Tom and Lily on the hill. He feels sorry for them. He walks to them and gives them a new ball. It is red and shiny. + +"I'm sorry, kids, I couldn't prevent your ball from breaking. Here, take this one. It's a gift from me," the man says. + +"Thank you, mister, thank you!" Tom and Lily say. + +They smile and wipe their tears. They take the new ball and hug the man. They are happy again. + +They go back to the park and play with their new ball. They are careful not to lose it. They still like the view, but they like their ball more. +Anna and Ben are children who like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They want to build a house with their blocks, but they disagree on how to do it. + +Anna says, "I want to make a huge house with many rooms and windows. It will be the best house ever!" + +Ben says, "No, I want to make a small house with a roof and a door. It will be cozy and safe!" + +They argue and push each other. They knock down their blocks and make a mess. They are not happy. + +Mom comes and sees the mess. She is not happy either. She says, "Why are you fighting? You are both good children who can share and cooperate. You can build a house together, and make it however you like. But you have to listen and respect each other's ideas." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. You are right. We can build a house together, and make it both huge and cozy. We can have rooms and windows and a roof and a door. We can be friends and have fun." + +They hug and say sorry to each other. They pick up their blocks and start to build a house together. They listen and respect each other's ideas. They are happy. + +The moral of the story is: It is better to share and cooperate than to disagree and fight. We can learn from each other and have more fun. +Lily likes to play with her toys. She has many toys, but her favorite is her original telephone. It is red and has a long cord and a round dial. She likes to pretend she is talking to her friends and family. + +One day, Lily is playing with her telephone in her room. She puts the cord around her neck and walks around. She feels like a big girl. She does not see the rug on the floor. She steps on it and slips. She falls down and hurts her knee. She cries out loud. + +Her mom hears her cry and runs to her room. She sees Lily on the floor with the telephone cord around her neck. She is scared. She quickly takes the cord off and hugs Lily. She asks her what happened and checks her knee. She sees a small cut and a bruise. She kisses it and puts a band-aid on it. + +She tells Lily that she should not play with the telephone cord. It is dangerous and can hurt her. She says she can play with the telephone, but only with the cord in her hand. She says she loves her and wants her to be safe. + +Lily says she is sorry and she loves her mom. She says she will not play with the cord again. She hugs her mom and says thank you for the band-aid. She picks up her telephone and dials a number. She says hello to her grandma and tells her what happened. She says she is okay and she misses her. She smiles and feels better. +One day, a duck went to the mail box to see if he had any letters. He liked to get letters from his friends who lived far away. He hoped they would tell him about their adventures and send him pictures. + +But when he opened the mail box, he saw only one letter. It was from a mean fox who lived in the woods. The letter said: + +"Dear Duck, + +I am very hungry and I want to eat you. I will come to your pond tomorrow and catch you. You cannot run or hide from me. You will be my dinner. + +Your enemy, Fox." + +The duck was very scared and sad. He did not want to be eaten by the fox. He did not know what to do. He ran to his best friend, a rabbit, and showed him the letter. + +"Rabbit, rabbit, help me!" he quacked. "Look at this letter! The fox wants to eat me!" + +The rabbit read the letter and frowned. He did not like the fox. He was very mean and cruel. He had a plan to help the duck. + +"Don't worry, duck, I have an idea. We will trick the fox and make him go away. Come with me, we need some things." + +The rabbit and the duck went to the garden and picked some carrots and lettuce. They also found some salt and pepper. They put them in a big basket and covered it with a cloth. Then they went back to the pond and waited for the fox. + +The next day, the fox came to the pond. He saw the duck sitting on the shore, next to a basket. He licked his lips and smiled. + +"Hello, duck, I'm here to eat you," he said. + +"Hello, fox, I'm here to be eaten," the duck said. "But before you eat me, can I offer you something from my basket? It is a gift for you." + +The fox was curious and greedy. He thought the basket might have something tasty and valuable. He agreed to look inside. + +The duck opened the basket and showed him the carrots and lettuce. He said: + +"These are for you, fox. They are very good and healthy. They will make you strong and smart. You should eat them first, before you eat me." + +The fox did not like carrots and lettuce. He thought they were boring and bitter. He wanted to eat the duck, not the vegetables. But he did not want to be rude or suspicious. He decided to pretend to like them. + +"Thank you, duck, you are very kind and generous. I will eat these first, before I eat you. They look very delicious and sweet." + +He took a carrot and bit into it. But he did not know that the rabbit and the duck had sprinkled salt and pepper on the vegetables. The carrot was very salty and spicy. It burned his tongue and made him cough. + +"Ah, ah, ah, what is this? This carrot is not sweet, it is bitter and hot! It hurts my mouth!" he cried. + +He spit out the carrot and took a lettuce. He hoped it would be better. But it was not. It was also salty and spicy. It made him cough more. + +"Ah, ah, ah, what is this? This lettuce is not good, it is bitter and hot too! It hurts my throat!" he cried. + +He spit out the lettuce and looked at the duck. He was very angry and confused. He said: + +"Duck, duck, what have you done? You have tricked me! You have given me bad food! You have made me sick!" + +The duck smiled and said: + +"Yes, fox, I have tricked you. I have given you bad food. I have made you sick. And now you cannot eat me. You should go away and leave me alone. You are not my friend, you are my enemy." + +The fox realized he had been fooled. He felt very stupid and ashamed. He also felt very thirsty and sick. He did not want to eat the duck anymore. He wanted to drink some water and find some medicine. He ran away from the pond, coughing and sneezing. + +The duck and the rabbit laughed and hugged. They were very happy and proud. They had saved the duck from the fox. They had used their brains and their courage. They had also used the mail and the vegetables. They were very good friends. They decided to write a letter to their other friends and tell them about their adventure. They hoped they would like it and send them some nice pictures. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, Tom saw a new car in Sam's room. It was red and shiny and had a loud horn. + +"Can I borrow your car?" Tom asked Sam. + +"OK, but only for a little while. It is my favorite car. Be careful with it," Sam said. + +Tom took the car and ran outside. He drove it on the grass and the dirt. He made it go fast and slow. He honked the horn and laughed. + +But he did not see the fire. The fire was in a big pile of leaves. The fire was hot and smoky. The fire made ash. Ash is gray and soft and flies in the air. + +The ash flew into the car. It got into the horn and the wheels and the engine. The car stopped working. It could not go or honk. It was dirty and broken. + +Tom was sad and scared. He did not know what to do. He ran back to Sam's room. He gave the car to Sam. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I broke your car. The fire and the ash did it. I did not mean to," Tom said. + +Sam looked at the car. He was angry and sad. He liked his car. It was his favorite car. He did not want to share it. + +"You are a bad friend, Tom. You did not borrow my car. You ruined it. You did not listen to me. You are deaf. Go away. I don't want to play with you," Sam said. + +Tom felt bad. He wanted to say sorry. He wanted to fix the car. He wanted to be friends with Sam. But Sam did not want to talk to him. He turned away and cried. + +Tom left the room. He walked home. He was lonely and sorry. He wished he had been more careful. He wished he had not borrowed the car. He wished he had listened to Sam. +Lily had a test today at school. She did not like tests. They made her feel scared and sad. She wanted to stay at home with her mom and dad and play with her toys. + +But mom said she had to go to school and do her best. She said tests were not so bad. They were just a way to show what she learned. She said Lily was very smart and brave and could do anything. + +Lily put on her coat and hat and gloves. It was very cold outside. She shivered as she walked to the bus stop with mom. She wished she had a warm blanket and a hot chocolate. She saw her friend Sam at the bus stop. He smiled and waved at her.

If you do not clean your room, you will not have space to play. And your mom will be sad and angry. And I will be sad and angry too." + +Tom does not like to make his mom or his robot sad and angry. He thinks for a moment. He says, "OK, robot. You are right. I will do my job. But can you help me?" + +The robot smiles. It says, "Yes, Tom. I will help you. We can do it together. It will be fun and fast. And then we can play with your toys and books." + +Tom smiles too. He says, "Thank you, robot. You are a good friend. And maybe you are right. Maybe my job is not so bad after all." +Anna likes to play with her brown dog, Max. Max is big and furry and likes to run and jump. Anna likes to brush Max's fur with a brush. The brush makes Max's fur shiny and soft. + +One day, Anna and Max go to the park with Mom. Mom says they can play for a while, but they have to stay close. Anna and Max see a lot of things in the park. They see birds and flowers and swings and slides. They also see a big red ball. + +Anna wants to play with the ball. She runs to the ball and picks it up. She throws the ball and says, "Max, fetch!" Max runs after the ball and catches it in his mouth. He brings it back to Anna. Anna and Max play with the ball for a long time. They have fun. + +But then, Anna sees a boy. The boy is crying. He is looking for his ball. Anna realizes that the ball is his. She feels sorry for the boy. She says, "Max, release!" Max drops the ball from his mouth. Anna picks up the ball and gives it to the boy. The boy stops crying and says, "Thank you!" He smiles at Anna and Max. + +Anna and Max are happy. They made a new friend. They go back to Mom and tell her what happened. Mom is proud of Anna and Max. She says, "You did the right thing. You are very kind and good." She hugs Anna and Max and gives them a treat. Anna and Max love Mom. They love each other. They love the park. They are happy. +Lily liked to jog with her dad. They jogged every morning in the park. They saw birds, flowers, and other people. Lily felt happy and strong when she jogged. + +One day, Lily's dad said he had a surprise for her. He said he bought her a new toy. Lily was very excited. She wanted to see the toy. She asked her dad what it was. + +Her dad said it was a successful toy. He said it could do many things. He said it could talk, sing, dance, and play games. He said it was the best toy ever. He said he would show her the toy when they got home. + +Lily and her dad jogged faster. They wanted to get home soon. They did not see the big truck. The truck was going very fast. The truck did not stop. The truck hit Lily and her dad. + +Lily and her dad did not get home. They did not see the toy. The toy was still in the car. The toy was lonely and sad. The toy did not talk, sing, dance, or play games. The toy was not successful. The toy was useless. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with boats. They had a big boat made of wood and a small boat made of paper. They went to the pond to sail their boats and have fun. + +Tom had a bottle of milk with him. He was thirsty and wanted to drink some milk. He opened the bottle and put it on the edge of the pond. He did not see the wind blow the paper boat to the bottle. The paper boat hit the bottle and made it fall into the pond. The milk spilled and made the water white. + +Lily saw what happened and was angry. She said to Tom, "You are clumsy! You made a mess! You ruined my paper boat!" She grabbed the big boat and threw it at Tom. But she missed and hit a duck instead. The duck was scared and quacked loudly. It flew away and knocked over a man who was fishing. The man dropped his rod and his fish into the pond. + +The man was mad and shouted at Tom and Lily. He said, "You are naughty! You scared my duck! You lost my fish!" He picked up the big boat and broke it in half. He threw the pieces at Tom and Lily and chased them away. + +Tom and Lily ran away and cried. They had no boats, no milk, and no friends. They were sorry and wished they had been more careful and kind. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They made zooming noises and pretended to race each other. Lily had a pink car and Ben had a blue car. They both loved their cars very much. + +But then, Lily's car stopped moving. She tried to push it, but it did not go. She looked at Ben and saw that his car was still zooming. She felt sad and angry. + +"Ben, why is your car still moving and mine is not?" she asked. + +"Maybe your car needs a new battery," Ben said. "A battery is a thing that makes your car go. Look, there is a hole in the back of your car. That is where the battery goes." + +Lily looked at the hole and saw a small, round thing inside. She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck. + +"I can't get it out," she said. "Can you help me, Ben?" + +Ben nodded and came over to Lily. He used his fingers to take out the old battery. He threw it in the trash can and looked for a new battery. He saw a pack of batteries on the shelf. He took one and put it in the hole of Lily's car. + +"There, try it now," he said. + +Lily pushed her car and it started to move again. She smiled and hugged Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are so charming," she said. "You are the best brother ever." + +Ben smiled and hugged her back. + +"You are welcome, Lily, you are so sweet," he said. "You are the best sister ever." + +They went back to playing with their cars, happy and proud. They zoomed and raced and had fun. They did not fight anymore. They shared and helped each other. They were a good team. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had many toys, but they also liked to explore the cabinets and drawers. One day, they found a big jar of cookies in a high cabinet. Lily climbed on a chair and reached for the jar, but Ben could not climb as fast. + +"Look, Ben, I have cookies!" Lily said, holding the jar. "You are too slow and too short. You can't have any cookies. Ha ha!" + +Ben felt envious and angry. He wanted cookies too, but Lily was teasing him. He tried to pull the chair, but it was too heavy. He cried and shouted, "That's not fair, Lily! Share the cookies with me! You are mean!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the chair with the jar, and Ben on the floor with tears. She was not happy. + +"Lily, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "You know you are not supposed to take cookies without asking. And you should not tease your brother. That's not nice. How would you feel if he did that to you?" + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she was wrong. She climbed down from the chair and gave the jar to Mom. She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was selfish and rude. I love you. Do you want to share the cookies with me?" + +Ben smiled and hugged Lily back. He said, "I love you too, Lily. Thank you for sharing. You are a good sister." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you, Lily and Ben. You learned to be kind and generous. Now, you can have one cookie each, but only after lunch. OK?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "OK, Mom. We will wait for lunch. And we will not tease each other again." + +The moral value of the story is: Do not tease others, and share what you have. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to draw with crayons. One day, they find a big book of images in their room. The book has many pictures of animals, flowers, cars and more. Sara and Ben want to copy the images with their crayons. + +Sara picks a picture of a cat. She draws a circle for the head, two triangles for the ears, and a long line for the tail. She colors the cat orange and black. She is happy with her drawing. She shows it to Ben. + +Ben picks a picture of a car. He draws a rectangle for the body, four circles for the wheels, and two squares for the windows. He colors the car red and blue. He is happy with his drawing. He shows it to Sara. + +Sara and Ben compare their drawings. They see that their drawings are very different from the images in the book. The cat and the car in the book look more real and detailed. Sara and Ben start to worry. They think their drawings are bad. They feel sad. + +They show their drawings to their mom. Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "Your drawings are very lively and creative. I love them. You don't have to worry about making them look like the images in the book. The images in the book are made by other people. You can make your own images with your crayons. That's what makes them special and fun." + +Sara and Ben feel better. They thank their mom. They go back to their room and draw more pictures. They use their imagination and their crayons. They make their own images of animals, flowers, cars and more. They are happy with their drawings. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big red strawberry on a green plant. They want to eat it. + +They run to the plant and pick the strawberry. It is juicy and sweet. They break it in half and share it. They smile and say, "Yum!" + +Then they see a bee. The bee is yellow and black. It buzzes and flies around the strawberry plant. It wants some nectar. It lands on a flower. + +Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see the bee. They go closer and watch. The bee is busy and happy. It does not sting them. + +They think the bee is original. It makes honey from flowers. They like honey. They want to thank the bee. They blow a kiss to the bee and say, "Bye-bye!" +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, you can do it!" Lily encourages Ben. "It is fun to slide down. I will go first and show you." + +Lily climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She smiles and waves at Ben. Then she slides down fast and lands on the grass. She laughs and claps her hands. + +"See, Ben, it is not scary. It is playful. Do you want to try?" Lily asks Ben. + +Ben looks at the slide. He sees Lily is happy. He wants to be happy too. He nods and takes a deep breath. + +"Okay, Lily, I will try. But you have to wait for me at the bottom." Ben says. + +Lily nods and runs to the bottom of the slide. She cheers for Ben. "You can do it, Ben! I am here for you!" + +Ben climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. He feels nervous, but he remembers Lily's words. He lets go and slides down. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He lands on the grass next to Lily. He laughs and hugs her. + +"I did it, Lily, I did it! Thank you for encouraging me. You are a good friend." Ben says. + +Lily hugs him back. "You are welcome, Ben. You are a brave friend. I am proud of you. You told the truth. You said you were scared, but you tried anyway. That is very good." Lily says. + +They smile and high-five each other. Then they run to the swings and play some more. They are happy and playful. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big gray dog near the fence. The dog looked sad and lonely. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is lost or scared. We should question him first," Tom said. + +They walked slowly to the dog and said hello. The dog wagged his tail and licked their hands. He had a collar with a tag that said his name was Max. + +"Hi, Max. Are you lost? Where is your family?" Tom questioned the dog. + +The dog barked and pointed his nose to the fence. There was a hole in the fence. Maybe he came from there. + +"Let's help him find his way back. Maybe his family is looking for him. Maybe they will give us a reward for being kind," Lily said. + +They took Max by his collar and led him to the hole in the fence. They crawled through the hole and saw a house with a big yard. There was a sign that said "Max's home". + +They knocked on the door and a woman opened it. She looked happy and surprised to see Max. + +"Max! Where have you been? I was so worried about you. Thank you so much for bringing him back. You are very nice children. Do you want a reward?" the woman said. + +Tom and Lily smiled and said yes. The woman gave them some cookies and milk. They shared them with Max. They were happy to help the gray dog and make a new friend. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tim wants to go on the slide, but Sam is fearful. + +"Come on, Sam, it is fun!" Tim says. + +"No, Tim, it is too high. I am scared," Sam says. + +Tim runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He reaches the top and looks down. He sees Sam waiting at the bottom. + +"Look, Sam, I am up here! You can do it too!" Tim says. + +Sam shakes his head. He does not want to go up. He sees a man in a blue suit walking towards them. The man has a badge and a hat. He is a law man. + +"Hello, boys. What are you doing here?" the law man says. + +"We are playing on the slide, sir," Tim says. + +"Is that your brother?" the law man says, pointing at Sam. + +"Yes, sir. He is fearful of the slide," Tim says. + +The law man smiles. He walks to Sam and kneels down. + +"Don't be fearful, Sam. The slide is safe and fun. I used to play on it when I was a boy. Do you want to try it with me?" the law man says. + +Sam looks at the law man. He looks at Tim. He looks at the slide. He nods. + +"Okay, sir. I will try it," Sam says. + +The law man takes Sam's hand and helps him climb up the ladder. They reach the top and sit on the slide. Tim cheers for them. + +"Ready, Sam? Here we go!" the law man says. + +They slide down together. Sam feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughs. He is not fearful anymore. + +"Wow, that was fun! Thank you, sir!" Sam says. + +"You're welcome, Sam. You did great. Do you want to go again?" the law man says. + +"Yes, sir. And Tim too!" Sam says. + +The law man, Tim and Sam go on the slide again and again. They have a lot of fun. They are friends. +Lily and Ben like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They can make pairs of cards that are the same.

They wonder what is out there. + +One night, they ask their mom, "Mom, what is the universe?" + +Mom smiles and says, "The universe is everything that you see in the sky and more. It is very big and very beautiful. It has many stars and planets and moons and other things." + +Lila and Ben try to understand. They say, "Wow, the universe is amazing. Can we go there?" + +Mom says, "Maybe one day, when you are older and smarter. But for now, you can only dream and imagine." + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "We like to dream and imagine. We pretend that we are astronauts and we fly to the stars. We meet aliens and have fun." + +Mom says, "That sounds like a great game. But remember, not everything you dream and imagine is real. Some things are just silly." + +Lila and Ben giggle. They say, "We know, Mom. We know the difference between real and silly. But sometimes, silly is more fun." + +Mom says, "I agree. Sometimes, silly is more fun. But now, it is time for bed. You need to sleep and rest, so you can grow and learn." + +Lila and Ben say, "Okay, Mom. Good night. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too, my little stars. Sweet dreams of the universe." +Lily liked to run in the park with her dog, Spot. She liked to see the flowers, the birds and the big trees. She also liked to play with her ball, but she had to be careful not to lose it. + +One day, she saw a pink balloon in the sky. It was shiny and pretty. She wanted to catch it and play with it. She ran after the balloon, but she did not see the fence. She ran into the fence and cut her knee.

He was happy again. + +They went back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw Lily's cut and put a band-aid on it. She said, "You are brave, Lily. And you are kind, too. You took care of Spot. He is lucky to have you." Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love Spot. He is lucky to have me, too." They all hugged and went home. +Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they decided to go on a journey. They packed some snacks, a ball, and a map in their backpacks. + +"Where are we going?" Tom asked Sara. + +"We are going to the big hill," Sara whispered. "There is a secret cave there. Maybe we can find some treasure." + +They walked and walked until they reached the big hill. They saw a hole in the rocks. They crawled inside and turned on their flashlights. The cave was dark and cold, but they were not afraid. + +"Look, there is something shiny!" Sara exclaimed. She pointed to a corner of the cave. They ran towards it and found a box. They opened it and saw many coins and jewels. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said. "We are rich!" + +Sara smiled and hugged Tom. "We are lucky, too. We have each other. We should share this treasure with our families and friends. They will be so happy." + +Tom nodded. "You are right. You are very generous, Sara. You are the best friend ever." + +They filled their backpacks with some of the treasure and left the rest for others to find. They ran out of the cave and down the hill. They could not wait to tell everyone about their journey and their discovery. They were very happy. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of flowers. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Sam said. + +"OK, Sam, but be careful. The hill is very high and steep," Lily said. + +They started to climb the hill, holding hands. They saw many colors and smells. They saw bees and butterflies and birds. They were happy and curious. + +But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw something that made them sad and scared. They saw a big dog lying on the ground. It was not moving or breathing. It was dead. + +"Sam, look, a dog!" Lily said. + +"Maybe it is sleeping, Lily. Maybe we can touch it and wake it up," Sam said. + +He walked towards the dog, but Lily stopped him. + +"No, Sam, don't touch it! It is not sleeping, it is dead. Dead means it is gone forever. It can't see or hear or feel us. It can't rise or run or play. It is very sad," Lily said. + +She hugged Sam and they both cried. They wished they could help the dog, but they knew they couldn't. They wished they could go back to the other side of the hill, where they were happy and curious. But they knew they had to face the truth. They learned something new and hard that day. They learned what dead means. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a small patch where they grew some flowers and fruits. One day, they saw that their strawberries were ripe and red. They were very happy and excited. + +"Look, Ben, we have strawberries!" Lily said. "They are so big and sweet. Let's pick some and eat them." + +"OK, Lily, let's do that," Ben said. "But we have to be careful not to hurt the plants." + +They picked some strawberries and put them in a basket. They washed them with water and sat on a blanket to enjoy their snack. They shared the strawberries and said how yummy they were. + +But then, they saw Tom, the boy who lived next door. Tom was watching them from his window. He did not have a garden or any strawberries. He felt jealous of Lily and Ben. He wanted some strawberries too. + +"Hey, Lily, Ben, can I have some strawberries?" Tom asked. He came out of his house and walked towards them. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not like Tom very much. He was often mean and rude to them. He sometimes took their toys and broke them. He never said sorry or thank you. + +"No, Tom, you can't have any strawberries," Lily said. "These are ours. We grew them with our own hands. You did not help us at all. You should grow your own strawberries if you want some." + +Tom felt angry and sad. He wished he had a garden and some strawberries. He wished he had friends like Lily and Ben. He did not know how to be nice and make friends. + +Ben saw that Tom was sad. He felt sorry for him. He remembered that his mom always told him to be kind and generous. He decided to encourage Tom. + +"Tom, you can have one strawberry if you want," Ben said. "But only one. And you have to be nice to us. You have to say please and thank you. And you have to share your toys and not break them. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He said please and thank you. He took one strawberry and bit it. It was juicy and sweet. He smiled. + +"Thank you, Ben. This is a good strawberry. I'm sorry I was mean to you and Lily. Can I be your friend?" Tom asked. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other again. They saw that Tom was trying to be nice. They decided to give him a chance. + +"OK, Tom, you can be our friend," Lily said. "But you have to be nice all the time. And you have to help us with the garden. Do you want to help us water the plants?" + +Tom nodded. He said yes. He took a watering can and followed Lily and Ben to the garden. They watered the plants and talked. They laughed and had fun. They became friends. +Lily was a little girl who liked to grow flowers. She had a small garden in her backyard, where she planted seeds and watered them every day. She was very proud of her flowers, and she wanted to show them to her friends at school. + +One day, she picked a big, red rose and put it in her backpack. She was very careful not to hurt the rose or herself with the thorns. She thought the rose was very pretty and harmless, and she hoped her friends would like it too. + +When she got to school, she saw her best friend, Ben, waiting for her. She ran to him and said, "Hi, Ben! Look what I have for you!" She opened her backpack and took out the rose. + +Ben smiled and said, "Wow, Lily, that's a beautiful rose! Did you grow it yourself?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I did! I have a garden at home, and I grow many flowers. This is my favorite one. I wanted to give it to you, because you are my favorite friend." + +Ben was very happy and said, "Thank you, Lily, that's very sweet of you. You are my favorite friend too. Can I hold the rose?" + +Lily said, "Sure, you can. But be careful, it has thorns. They can poke you and make you bleed. Don't worry, they are harmless, but they can hurt a little." + +Ben said, "OK, I will be careful." He reached for the rose, but he was not careful enough. He touched one of the thorns and said, "Ouch! That hurt!" + +Lily said, "Oh, no, Ben, are you OK? Let me see your finger." + +Ben showed her his finger, which had a small drop of blood on it. He said, "It's OK, Lily, it's not a big deal. It's just a little scratch. It will heal soon." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to give you something nice. Do you still like the rose?" + +Ben said, "Of course I do, Lily. I love the rose, and I love you. You are very kind and thoughtful. The rose is still pretty and harmless, even if it has thorns. Sometimes, things that are beautiful can also be painful, but that doesn't mean they are bad. It just means we have to be more careful and appreciate them more." + +Lily smiled and said, "You are very wise and brave, Ben. I'm glad you are my friend. Can I give you a hug?" + +Ben said, "Yes, you can. And can I give you a kiss?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you can. But be careful, I have teeth. They can bite you and make you bleed. Don't worry, they are harmless, but they can hurt a little." + +Ben laughed and said, "I know, Lily, I know. But I don't mind. I like your teeth, and I like you. Come here, you silly goose." + +They hugged and kissed, and then they went to their class, holding hands and the rose. They were very happy, and they learned a lesson about love and pain.

It is pink and has white cream on it. "Can I have the cake, please?" + +"Of course!" Tom says. He is a gentle shopkeeper. He does not want to make Anna sad. He gives her the toy cake and puts it in her basket. "The cake is free. It is a gift for you." + +"Wow, thank you!" Anna says. She is very happy. She hugs Tom and gives him a kiss. "You are the best shopkeeper ever!" + +They smile and laugh. They continue to play shop until their mom calls them for lunch. They put their toys back in the box and go to the kitchen.

But they did not like the dark corner. They thought there was a monster there. They were fearful of the monster. + +One day, Tom had an idea. He wanted to scare Mia. He hid in the dark corner and waited for Mia to come. He put on a mask and made a loud noise. He hoped Mia would think he was the monster. + +Mia heard the noise and saw the mask. She was very scared. She screamed and ran away. She did not know it was Tom. She thought it was the monster. + +Tom felt bad. He did not want to make Mia so scared.

They did not play there for a long time. They learned that scaring is not fun. They learned to be kind to each other. +Lily liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She drew her family, her dog, her house and her flowers. She was very proud of her pictures and hung them on the wall. + +One day, a boy named Max came to play with Lily. He was very rude.

He laughed and said they were bad. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and told Max to stop. She tried to save her pictures, but Max was stronger. He ripped them and threw them on the floor. He said he did not care. + +Lily ran to her mom and told her what Max did. Her mom was very mad. She told Max to go home and never come back. She hugged Lily and said she was sorry. She helped Lily pick up her pictures and tape them together. She said they were still beautiful and Lily was a good artist. + +Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She felt better. She decided she did not want to play with Max anymore. He was not a good friend. She wanted to play with nice people who liked her pictures and shared her crayons.

He says, "Don't worry, I will save you!" + +Mom sees Jack and the wet sofa. She is not happy. She says, "Jack, what are you doing? You can't spray water on the sofa. It will get ruined. You have to stop right now!" + +Jack feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was playing fireman. I wanted to put out the fire." + +Mom says, "I know you like to play fireman, but you can't use water on the sofa. You can use your imagination instead. And you have to clean up the mess.

People still wonder what the answer is, but she's still silent. +Sandy was a smart girl with lots of friends. Every day, she asked her mom to get out the crayons she kept in her drawer. Sandy loved to draw with her crayons- she made pictures of her family, her pets, and her friends. + +One day, Sandy had a playdate with her best friend, Jason. They had lots of fun together- they colored, played ball, and ran around. Sandy and Jason were being silly, but they were behaving very well. + +When their playdate was over, Jason asked Sandy's mom if he could keep one of the crayons. Sandy was very surprised- usually when a child behaves well, they get a reward. Sandy thought that was very kind of her mom, and she knew that Jason must be a very smart boy. +Once upon a time there were two friends named Sam and Joe. Sam and Joe liked to play games together. One day, Sam wanted to race a fierce game but Joe said no. Sam got mad and didn't want to play with Joe anymore. + +Sam started to wave his hand angrily, but Joe just waved back. Sam was confused but he kept waving. Then Joe smiled and said, "It's okay to be fierce but it's also important to be a good friend." + +Sam and Joe understood the lesson. From then on, Sam still played his fierce games but also remembered to be a good friend. Whenever Sam and Joe would meet, they'd say hello and wave. + +The end. +Once, there was a mysterious tray. It was filled with all sorts of delicious food. No one knew who had put it there. Suddenly, a voice called from above. It was so loud, it scared the birds away. Everyone looked up, but couldn't see anyone. + +The voice called again. This time it was even louder, and demanded the tray be moved. All of the people carefully moved the mysterious tray. Suddenly, a magical being appeared. He was wearing a beautiful cloak and had a long white beard. + +The magical being called out again, asking for the tray. Everyone quickly gave the tray to him. He thanked them and disappeared in a puff of smoke. + +The people all looked at each other in amazement. They had never seen anything so mysterious before! +Once upon a time there lived a little boy. He was three years old and liked to explore the world around him. One day he decided to go off on an adventure, so he grabbed his hat and went out. + +The little boy walked and walked until he reached the edge of a bush. He wanted to explore what was beyond, but he was scared. He looked up and saw something shining in the leaves of the bush. He reached his hand in to grab it and suddenly, he felt a sharp bite on his finger! He cried and ran away. + +The little boy was sad and scared he wouldn't be brave enough to explore the bush. Then he heard a noise coming from behind the bush. He looked closer and saw a deaf animal. It didn't look dangerous, so the little boy crept closer. He found a shiny thing on the ground - the same one he saw earlier in the bush! + +The little boy smiled and courageously walked into the bush. He eventually found a beautiful little pond and found loads of new things to explore. He had an amazing adventure and learned that it's alright to be brave. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Susie. She had a big stuffed bear, Caleb, that she loved very much. One day the bear was looking very sad and Susie wanted to make him happy again. She thought for a long time, and then she realized the only thing that could make Caleb feel better was some comfort. + +So she hugged him and said, “Don’t be so bitter, Caleb! You are my favorite stuffed animal and I love you so much.†Caleb started to feel better and soon he smiled at Susie. She asked him if he wanted to go on an adventure but he shook his head no and snuggled under the blankets. + +Susie decided to give Caleb the best gift by putting him in a special case so he could be safe and cozy while she was away. She hoped that this would make him feel safe and comforted while she was away. + +The moral of the story is that we can use simple gestures to comfort those we love and make them feel safe. We can show people they matter, even if it’s something as small as a hug, a present, or a special case. +Once there was a boy who found a fan. He was so excited and ran to show his mum. She saw the fan, but she was worried. The fan was in a dangerous place and she didn't want the boy to get hurt. + +The mum wiped her hands on her dress, took the fan, and put it outside. The boy was disappointed but he knew it was for the best. + +The mum noticed the boy was sad, so she said,"Don't worry, I won't let anything dangerous happen".

He liked to play and sleep. + +One day, he heard a tapping sound coming from outside his window. He went to look and he saw a pretty bluebird perched on his windowsill. + +The little boy smiled and said, "Hi, little bird! You are very nice." + +The bluebird chirped. + +The little boy asked, "Would you like to come inside and sleep?" + +The bluebird chirped again and flew through the window into the little boy's room. + +The little boy pointed to a little bed in the corner and said, "You can sleep here." The bluebird flew over and settled in the bed. + +The little boy said softly, "Good night, little bird." + +The bluebird gave one more happy chirp as the little boy closed his eyes and went to sleep. +Once upon a time there was a girl who loved to drink chocolate milk. Every morning she would go to the kitchen and mix together some milk and some chocolate. + +One day when she went to the kitchen, she couldn't find the chocolate. She asked her mom, "Where is the chocolate?" + +"It's gone," her mom said. "You drank it all up!" + +The girl felt sad, but then she had an idea. She took a big spoonful of the milk and stirred it, slow and steady. As she stirred, the milk began to turn brown, and in just a few minutes she had a big glass of chocolate milk! + +The girl smiled. She grabbed a straw and began to drink it. The chocolate milk tasted delicious and she enjoyed every slow sip. + +She finished drinking and thanked her mom for helping her make the chocolate milk. Then they both laughed and went off to play. The end. +One day, Jack was walking along the beach with his mom. As they walked, Jack spotted something strange in the sand. It was a dead crab! He picked it up and exclaimed, "Mommy, look!" + +Mommy smiled and said, "It sure is a dead crab! Do you want to take it home and put it on display?" + +Excitedly, Jack nodded. He put it in his pocket, and the two kept walking. + +Soon, they reached the edge of the ocean. "Look how big the ocean is, Jack," said Mommy. + +But Jack didn't respond. He had tilted his head up to the sky and was pointing. "Mommy, look - there's a cloud in the shape of a crab!" + +Mommy looked up and gasped. Sure enough, the cloud was shaped like the dead crab Jack had found on the beach! "That's amazing, Jack," Mommy said. + +Jack smiled. He knew it was time to go home and display his special find. +Jayden was running cheerfully across the park when he suddenly stopped. He was standing at the bottom of a hill and the sight in front of him was difficult to take in. He had never seen something so tall before. Jayden asked his mom, "What is that?" + +His mother smiled and said, "That is a mountain, Jayden. Would you like to go to the top?" + +Jayden was filled with excitement as he asked, "Can we do it?" + +His mother nodded and said, "Sure, we can do it. All we have to do is keep stepping up." + +So, Jayden and his mom started to climb the mountain, taking small steps along the way. As they went Jayden spotted big rocks and plants. He also saw some animals. He had never seen so many things in one place. + +Finally, Jayden and his mom reached the top. Jayden was so proud of himself for doing something so difficult. He hugged his mom and said, "We made it!" +Once upon a time there was a harmless cage. It was made of metal and was filled with lots of animals. Every day, the animals in the cage were allowed to play with one another. They raced around and made each other giggle. + +One day, the animals noticed a little bird outside the cage. It was hopping around, looking for food. The animals wanted to let the bird inside the cage to play, but they were too small to open the cage. + +That's when the animals asked their human friend to help them. The human friend was nice, so they agreed. They opened the cage and allowed the bird to come inside. + +At first, the bird was scared. But soon, it realized the cage was harmless. The bird hopped around with the other animals and had so much fun. + +Now the animals and the bird are always together, playing and laughing inside the cage. They feel safe and happy, and they will never forget the kindness of their human friend. +Once upon a time, there was an old man named Jack. He had been living in a big old house for many years. One day, Jack heard some noise coming from outside his house. He opened the door and looked out. + +He saw a nosy little rabbit peeking through the window. The bunny was trying to see inside the house. Jack, who thought this was very strange, decided to go and investigate. + +He slowly walked outside, and the rabbit noticed him. "Why are you trying to peek inside my house?" asked Jack. The rabbit thought for a moment, and then replied. + +"I'm just nosy," he said. + +Jack thought this was funny, and he couldn't help but laugh. He decided to let the bunny stay and watch him for a little while. They became friends, and the old man even taught the nosy little rabbit some things. + +In the end, Jack and the rabbit had a wonderful time together and they shared many stories. All of this, because the bunny was trying to be nosy! +Once upon a time, there was a little boy called Jack who loved the sea. He used to go with his dad in a boat and explore the world of the ocean. One day, his dad showed him an anchor that was very deep. Jack was fascinated and asked his dad to measure it. + +So the dad took out a special measuring tool and measured the anchor to see how deep it was. Jack was amazed to find out that it was really deep! But his dad warned him, his dad said that anchors can be tricky sometimes, because sometimes they don't let boats go when they are stuck at the bottom of the sea. + +Jack felt a little bit scared, so he asked his dad what could stop them from being able to go. His dad said that sometimes the anchor might be stuck and if so, it could be hard to get the boat out of the water. + +Jack was worried and kept looking for an anchor that wasn't too deep. He kept sailing around the sea looking for an anchor that wasn't too deep. But it seemed like every anchor he measured was really deep. + +Finally, Jack found a shallow anchor and his dad said it was safe to use. Jack was so relieved, he had learned that anchors could be tricky and now he knew to be careful when he was measuring them! +Janie was a three-year-old girl who loved to organize things. She would gather up her toys and line them up neatly on her bedroom shelf. She was always excited to find ways to put things in order. + +One day, her dad surprised her with a gift - a white clock! She was so excited! She decided to display it proudly in the living room. Janie made sure the clock was placed up high on the wall so everyone could see it. + +At night, when Janie was getting ready for bed she would whisper to the clock 'tick tock'. It always made her giggle. She was so proud of her clock and the way it helped her organize her life. Janie knew exactly when it was time to wake up in the morning and when it was time to go to bed. + +Since getting the clock Janie had become even more eager to organize things around her. She was always finding new ways to keep her room neat and her toys in order. Janie's dad was so proud of her and the way she was learning. Janie was proud of herself too! +Anna and Ben are bears. They live in a big forest with their mama and papa. They like to play and explore, but they also have to help with chores. + +One day, mama bear tells them to prepare for winter. She says they need to find more honey and store it in their cave. Honey is sweet and yummy, and it keeps them warm and happy when it is cold and snowy outside. + +Anna and Ben are excited. They love honey. They follow their noses and look for flowers and bees. They find a big tree with a hole. They hear buzzing inside. They know there is honey there. + +They climb the tree and reach for the hole. But the bees are not happy. They fly out and sting them. Anna and Ben cry and run away. They have red bumps on their fur. They are sad and hurt. + +Mama bear hears them and comes to help. She licks their bumps and gives them hugs. She says they were brave, but they need to be careful. She says they can find honey in other places, like old logs or rocks. She says they need to be clean and quiet, so the bees do not notice them. + +Anna and Ben nod and say sorry. They follow mama bear and look for more honey. They find some in a log and some under a rock. They fill their baskets and take them to their cave. They are happy and proud. They have prepared for winter. They share some honey with mama and papa. They lick their paws and smile. Honey is sweet and yummy. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play with their toy trucks. They had many trucks of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was the big yellow dump truck. They liked to load it with sand, rocks, leaves and anything else they could find in the yard. + +One day, their mom made a big salad for lunch. She put lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cheese and dressing in a large bowl. She called the boys to come and eat, but they did not want to stop playing. They said they were not hungry and they wanted to keep loading their truck. + +Mom said, "You need to eat something healthy, or you will not grow strong and smart. Salad is good for you, and it is yummy too. Come on, just try a little bit." + +Sam and Ben did not listen. They thought salad was boring and icky. They said they only liked pizza and cookies. They ran back to their truck and loaded it with more sand. + +Mom was sad and angry. She decided to teach them a lesson. She took the bowl of salad and poured it over their truck. The lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cheese and dressing covered the sand, rocks and leaves. The truck looked messy and gross. + +Sam and Ben were shocked and upset. They saw their truck ruined by the salad. They cried and said, "Mom, why did you do that? That was our favorite truck!" + +Mom said, "I did that because you did not listen to me. You were rude and wasteful. You did not appreciate the salad I made for you, or the truck I bought for you. You need to learn to be modest and grateful. Modest means you do not want too much, and grateful means you say thank you for what you have." + +Sam and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they were wrong. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We were not modest and grateful. We were greedy and selfish. We will try the salad and say thank you. We will also clean the truck and take care of it. Can you forgive us?" + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Of course I can forgive you. I love you, and I want you to be happy and healthy. But you also need to learn from your mistakes. Salad is not so bad, and loading is not everything. Sometimes you need to stop and enjoy what you have." + +Sam and Ben nodded and agreed. They ate the salad and liked it. They cleaned the truck and played with it again. They learned to be modest and grateful, and they had more fun. +Ben and Lily are playing in the kitchen. They have a big bowl of water and some cups and spoons. They pretend to make soup and tea and cake. They have fun pouring and stirring and tasting. + +"Look, Lily, I can catch the water in my cup!" Ben says. He holds his cup under the faucet and turns it on. The water fills his cup and spills over. He laughs and turns it off. + +"Can I try?" Lily asks. She takes the cup from Ben and does the same. She likes to see the water splash and make noise. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is not happy. + +"Ben! Lily! What are you doing? You are making a mess! The water is all over the floor and the sink! You are wasting water and making trouble!" + +Ben and Lily stop playing. They look at Mom. They feel bad. They did not mean to make Mom angry. + +"Sorry, Mom," they say together. + +Mom sighs. She is not really angry. She loves Ben and Lily. But she wants them to learn to be careful and useful. + +"Come on, kids. Let's clean up this mess. I will show you how to use a mop and a towel. They are useful things. They can catch the water and dry the sink and the floor. Then we can have a snack and read a story. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They follow Mom. They help her to use the mop and the towel. They learn to catch the water and dry the sink and the floor. They see that Mom is happy. They are happy too. + +They have a snack and read a story. They hug Mom and say thank you. They are good kids. They like to play and learn. They like to be useful. +Sara and Ben were playing with their cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. But their mom was not happy. She said they were too loud and they had to stop. + +"Please, Sara and Ben, you have to be quiet. Your dad is working and he needs to focus. This is the law in our house," mom said. + +But Sara and Ben did not listen. They refused to stop playing with their cars. They said they were having fun and they did not care about the law. + +Mom was very angry. She said they had to go to their room and play with something else. She said they could not play with their cars for the rest of the day. She said they had to learn to respect the law. + +Sara and Ben were very sad. They did not want to go to their room. They did not want to play with something else. They loved their cars and they did not think they were loud. + +They went to their room and looked for something to play with. But everything seemed dull and boring. They had no cars, no noises, no racing. They had nothing to do. + +They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had followed the law. They wished they could play with their cars again. They learned their lesson. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big pond. There are ducks and fish in the pond. Anna and Ben want to feed them. + +"Look, Ben, I have some bread. Let's give some to the ducks and fish," Anna says. + +"OK, Anna, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. It is deep and wet," Ben says. + +Anna nods. She breaks the bread into small pieces. She throws some to the ducks. They quack and swim to get the bread. She throws some to the fish. They splash and jump to get the bread. Anna smiles. She likes to see the ducks and fish happy. + +"Anna, look at that swan. It is so white and graceful. It has a long neck and a big wing. It is the most beautiful bird I have ever seen," Ben says. + +Anna looks at the swan. She agrees with Ben. It is very beautiful. She wants to give it some bread too. She takes a big piece of bread. She walks closer to the pond. She reaches out her hand to the swan. + +"Anna, no, stop! It is too far. You will fall into the water. Come back here. Please, Anna, come back," Ben shouts. + +But Anna does not hear him. She is too excited. She wants to touch the swan. She takes one more step. She slips on the grass. She falls into the pond. She screams. + +"Anna, Anna, are you OK? Hold on, I will help you. Don't be scared," Ben says. + +He runs to the pond. He sees Anna in the water. She is wet and cold. She is crying. He grabs her hand. He pulls her out of the pond. He hugs her. + +"Anna, I am so glad you are OK. You scared me so much. Why did you do that? Why did you not listen to me?" Ben says. + +"I am sorry, Ben. I am sorry. I just wanted to see the swan. It was so pretty. I did not mean to fall. I did not mean to make you worry," Anna says. + +"It is OK, Anna. I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never do that again. You have to promise me that you will always be careful. You have to promise me that you will always be my friend," Ben says. + +"I promise, Ben. I promise. I will never do that again. I will always be careful. I will always be your friend. You are the best friend I have ever had," Anna says. + +They hug again. They are happy. They are friends. They walk back to the park. They play some more. They have fun. They end the day with a smile. +Lily and Anna were sisters. They liked to play with dolls and draw pictures. But Lily was not humble. She always wanted to have the best doll and the best picture. She did not share with Anna or say thank you. + +One day, it was Lily's birthday. She was very excited. She hoped to get many presents and a big cake. Anna wanted to surprise Lily with a special gift. She made a necklace with beads and a card with a heart. She put them in a box and wrapped it with paper. + +At the party, Lily opened her presents. She got a new doll, a dress, a book, and a puzzle. She was happy, but she did not smile at Anna or the other guests. She just wanted more and more. She saw the box from Anna and grabbed it. She tore the paper and opened the box. She looked at the necklace and the card. She frowned and said, "Is this all? This is boring. I don't want it." + +Anna felt sad. She had worked hard to make the gift. She wanted to make Lily happy. She said, "But Lily, I made it for you. I love you, sister. Don't you like it?" + +Lily did not care. She threw the box on the floor and ran to play with her new doll. She did not see the tears in Anna's eyes. She did not see the guests shake their heads. She did not see the cake fall on the floor. + +Lily was not humble. She was greedy and rude. She did not know how to surprise or be surprised. She did not know how to love or be loved. She missed the best gift of all: her sister's heart. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a new boy sitting on a bench with a big melon. He looked sad and lonely. + +"Who is he?" Sara asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe we can introduce ourselves and share our toys with him," Tom said. + +They walked over to the bench and smiled at the boy. + +"Hi, I'm Sara and this is Tom. What's your name?" Sara said. + +The boy looked up and said, "I'm Ben. I just moved here with my mom and dad. I don't have any friends here." + +"We can be your friends. Do you want to play with us?" Tom said. + +Ben nodded and smiled. He cut a piece of melon and gave it to Sara and Tom. + +"Thank you. This is very yummy. Do you like melon?" Sara said. + +"Yes, I do. It's my favorite fruit.

They ran and jumped and laughed. + +Lily was sad. She did not like Ben. She thought he was mean. She went to the swings. She swung by herself. + +After a while, Tom felt cold. He shivered and sneezed. He wanted a coat. He looked for Lily. He saw her on the swings. + +"Lily, can I have your hat?" he asked. "I am cold. I am sorry I ignored you." + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw his red nose and his wet eyes. She felt sorry for him. But she was also angry. + +"No, you can't," she said. "You were mean to me. You listened to Ben. You ignored me. Now you are sick.

Tom and Anna want to be his friend. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Tom asks the boy. + +"I am Ben," the boy says. + +"Do you like to jog?" Anna asks. + +"Not really. It is difficult and boring. I miss my old home and my old friends," Ben says. + +Tom and Anna feel sorry for Ben. They remember how they felt when they moved to a new home and a new school. They know how hard it is to make new friends. + +"We are Tom and Anna. We live in the yellow house over there. We jog with our dad every morning. Do you want to jog with us?" Tom says. + +"Really? You want me to jog with you?" Ben says. + +"Yes, of course. We can have fun and talk and play. We can be your friends," Anna says. + +Ben smiles. He feels happy and hopeful. He nods and says, "Yes, I want to jog with you. Thank you for being so nice to me." + +Tom and Anna smile too. They hold Ben's hand and jog with him and his mom. They welcome him to their neighborhood and their jog. They tell him about their school and their hobbies and their pets. They make him laugh and feel comfortable. + +Ben thinks that maybe jogging is not so difficult and boring after all. He thinks that maybe he can like his new home and his new friends. He thinks that maybe Tom and Anna are the best thing that happened to him since he moved. He thinks that maybe he is lucky to meet them. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with water. She had a big tub in her backyard where she filled it with water and splashed with her toys. She was very eager to play with water every day, even when it was cold or rainy. + +One day, Lily wanted to play with water, but her mom said no. She said it was too cold and wet outside, and Lily could get sick. Lily was angry and did not listen to her mom. She put on her boots and coat and ran outside to the tub. She took a towel with her to dry herself later. + +Lily had fun playing with water, but soon she felt very cold. She shivered and her teeth chattered.

Her mom opened the door and saw Lily. She was worried and angry. She took Lily inside and wrapped her in a blanket. She said, "Lily, you have been very naughty. You did not listen to me and you played with water when it was cold and wet. Now you are suffering. You could have caught a cold or worse. You also ruined your towel. How will you dry yourself next time?" + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was eager to play with water, but I did not think of the consequences. I will not do it again. Please forgive me and help me get better." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I forgive you, Lily. But you have to learn from your mistake. Playing with water is fun, but only when it is warm and sunny. You have to listen to me and obey me, because I know what is best for you. I love you and I want you to be safe and healthy." + +Lily nodded and said, "I love you too, mom. And I will listen to you and obey you from now on." + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents and obey them, because they know what is best for you. Playing with water is fun, but only when it is warm and sunny. If you play with water when it is cold and wet, you will suffer and ruin your towel. +Sara and Tom are twins. They are four years old. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they do not behave. They fight and shout and make a mess. + +One day, their mom has to go to university. She is a teacher there.

They say, "We are sorry, grandma. We did not know. We wanted to play." + +Grandma says, "Sorry is not enough. You have to pay for the damage. You have to give mom your toys and books.

They want to play. They wish they had behaved. They are very sad. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a man selling balloons.

The bird sees the kite. The bird thinks the kite is a toy. The bird wants the kite. The bird flies to the kite and grabs it with its claws. + +Tom and Lily see the bird. They are scared. They yell, "No, no, no! That is our kite! Give it back!" Mom and Dad hear them. They are serious. They run to help them. + +Mom and Dad wave their arms and shout at the bird. The bird is scared too. The bird lets go of the kite. The kite falls to the ground. Tom and Lily run to the kite. They hug the kite. They are happy again. + +Mom and Dad hug Tom and Lily. They say, "You are brave. We are proud of you. The bird is gone. The kite is safe. Let's fly the kite again." Tom and Lily smile. They say, "Yes, yes, yes! We love our kite. We love you too." They fly the kite again. The end. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big bunny. The bunny is brown and soft. It has long ears and a fluffy tail. + +"Look, a bunny!" Tom says. "Let's hop like the bunny!" + +"OK!" Sue says. They hop on the grass. They hop over the flowers. They hop around the tree. They have fun. + +But the bunny is not happy. The bunny is fierce. It does not like Tom and Sue. It thinks they are noisy and rude. It wants them to go away. + +The bunny hops to Tom and Sue. It makes a loud sound. It shows its teeth. It scratches with its claws. + +"Ah, the bunny is fierce!" Tom says. "It is angry at us!" + +"Run, run!" Sue says. They run away from the bunny. They run to the slide. They slide down fast. They are safe. + +The bunny hops away. It looks for a quiet place. It does not want to play with Tom and Sue. It wants to be alone. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They do not like the fierce bunny. They do not want to hop like the bunny yet. + +"Let's play something else," Tom says. + +"OK," Sue says. "What do you want to play?" + +"Let's play catch," Tom says. + +"OK," Sue says. They play catch. They throw and catch the ball. They have fun. + +They forget about the fierce bunny. They are happy. +Lila was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a big, hairy bear. She named him Ben and took him everywhere. She hugged him, talked to him, and pretended he was alive. + +One day, Lila's mom told her to stop playing and get ready for bed. Lila did not want to stop. She wanted to play more with Ben. She said no to her mom and ran away with Ben. She hid under the table and hoped her mom would not find her. + +But her mom was not happy. She looked for Lila and found her under the table. She was angry and said, "Lila, you have to listen to me. It is time for bed. You have to stop playing and put away your toys. You have to use your brain and be a good girl." + +Lila felt sorry. She saw that her mom was right. She knew that playing was fun, but sleeping was important too. She wanted to use her brain and be a good girl. She said sorry to her mom and gave her a hug. She put away her toys and took Ben to bed. She said good night to Ben and kissed him. She fell asleep and had sweet dreams. + +The moral of the story is: You have to listen to your mom and stop playing when it is time for bed. You have to use your brain and be a good girl. You can still love your toys, but you have to take care of yourself too. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them go fast and zoom around the grass. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing each other. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted, and they pushed their cars forward. Lily's car was faster than Ben's car, and she soon reached the other side of the garden. She turned her car around and said, "I win!" + +Ben was not happy. He wanted to win too. He thought of a way to make his car faster. He saw a bowl of salad on the table that their mom had made for lunch. He had an idea. He grabbed some lettuce and put it on his car. He thought it would make his car lighter and faster. + +He pushed his car again, but it did not go fast. It went very slow. The lettuce was too heavy and made his car drag on the grass. Lily saw what he did and laughed. "That's silly, Ben! Salad does not make cars faster. It makes them slower!" + +Ben felt angry and embarrassed. He wanted to make Lily stop laughing. He reversed his car and bumped it into Lily's car. Lily's car flipped over and landed on the grass. Lily was shocked and upset. She cried, "Hey, that's not fair! You made my car fall!" + +Ben felt sorry for what he did. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mad because you won. I should not have put salad on my car or bumped your car. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily looked at him and saw that he was sorry. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry I laughed at you. We can be friends again. But next time, don't use salad for your car. Use something else, like stickers or paint." + +They hugged and smiled. They picked up their cars and decided to play something else. They learned that salad is good for eating, not for racing. And they learned that being friends is better than being fast. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the yard. One day, they saw a large jug on the porch. It was full of juice. They hoped Mom would let them have some. + +They ran to the porch and grabbed the jug. They tried to pour some juice into their cups. But the jug was too heavy for them. They lost their balance and dropped the jug. The jug broke and the juice spilled everywhere. + +Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw the mess and the broken jug. She was very angry. She scolded Tim and Sam for being naughty and wasteful. She sent them to their room without any juice or snacks. Tim and Sam felt sad and sorry. They wished they had asked Mom first. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. But they do not like to bathe. They think bathing is boring and cold. + +One day, their mom says, "It is time to bathe, Anna and Ben. You are very dirty and smelly. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Anna and Ben say, "No, mom, we do not want to bathe. We want to play more. Please, mom, let us play." + +Mom says, "No, you have to bathe. Bathing is good for you. It makes you clean and fresh. And I have a surprise for you. Look, I have a new soap. It is purple and it smells like grapes. Do you want to try it?" + +Anna and Ben look at the purple soap. They like purple. They like grapes. They are curious about the soap. They say, "OK, mom, we will bathe. But only for a little bit. And we want to use the purple soap." + +Mom says, "Good, you are fair children. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. I will help you bathe. And you can play with the purple soap. And maybe, if you are good, I will let you blow some bubbles too." + +Anna and Ben smile. They follow mom to the bathroom. They take off their clothes and get into the tub. Mom gives them the purple soap. They rub it on their skin and hair. It makes a lot of foam. It smells like grapes. They like it. They laugh and splash. They bathe with the purple soap. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Tom like to play pretend. Today they are pirates on a big ship. They have hats and swords and a map. They want to find treasure on an island. + +"Look, Lily, there is the island!" Tom says. He points to a pile of sand in the yard. "Let's go and dig for gold and jewels!" + +"Okay, Tom, but be careful. There might be other pirates there. Or crocodiles. Or sharks." Lily says. She follows Tom to the sand. They use their swords as shovels and start to dig. + +They dig and dig until they find a box. It is small and brown and has a lock. Tom tries to open it with his sword, but it does not work. + +"Maybe we need a key," Lily says. "Where can we find a key?" + +"Maybe the bald pirate has it," Tom says. He looks around and sees a man sitting on a chair. He has no hair and a big beard. He is reading a book. He is Lily's dad. + +"Let's ask him," Lily says. She runs to the man and says, "Hello, bald pirate. Do you have the key to the treasure box?" + +The man looks up and smiles. He sees Lily and Tom in their pirate costumes. He plays along. + +"Arrr, me hearties. So you found me treasure, did you? Well, I'll tell you what. If you can clap your hands three times, I'll give you the key." + +Lily and Tom clap their hands three times. The man gives them a key. It is shiny and silver. + +"Thank you, bald pirate," Lily and Tom say. They run back to the box and use the key to open it. + +Inside the box, they find candy and stickers and toys. They are very happy. They share the treasure and say, "This is the best pirate adventure ever!" +Mia loved to dance. She liked to move her feet and arms to the rhythm of the music. She had a pink dress that made her feel like a princess when she danced. She wore it every day. + +One day, her friend Lily came to play. Lily saw Mia's dress and wanted to try it on. She asked Mia, "Can I borrow your dress? It is so pretty and pink." + +Mia did not want to share her dress. She liked it too much. She said, "No, you cannot borrow my dress. It is mine. You have your own dress." + +Lily felt sad. She said, "But I like your dress more. It has sparkles and flowers. My dress is plain and blue." + +Mia did not care. She said, "Go away. I want to dance by myself." + +Lily went away. She sat on the couch and cried. She did not want to play with Mia anymore. + +The sky became gloomy. It started to rain. Mia heard the thunder and saw the lightning. She felt scared. She wanted to hug Lily and say sorry. She ran to the couch and said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was mean. You can borrow my dress if you want. We can dance together." + +Lily looked up and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. I am sorry too. We can share our dresses and dance together." + +They hugged and put on each other's dresses. They turned on the music and danced to the rhythm. They felt happy and forgot about the rain. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many acorns on the ground. Lily picked up an acorn and said, "Look, Ben, this is an acorn. It is brown and hard. Do you want to play with it?" + +Ben nodded and took the acorn from Lily. He said, "Yes, I want to play with it. Let's make something with it. Maybe we can mix it with other things and make a cake." + +Lily liked the idea. She said, "OK, let's mix it with other things and make a cake. What else do we need?" + +Ben looked around and saw some leaves, some grass, some dirt and some water. He said, "We need these things. They are green and soft and wet. Let's put them in a big pile and mix them with the acorn." + +Lily and Ben put the leaves, the grass, the dirt and the water in a big pile. They used their hands and feet to mix them with the acorn. They had fun and made a lot of noise. They said, "Mix, mix, mix. We are making a cake. Mix, mix, mix. It will be yummy." + +A squirrel was watching them from the tree. He was curious and hungry. He saw the acorn in the pile and wanted to eat it. He jumped down from the tree and ran to the pile. He said, "Excuse me, can I have the acorn? It is mine. I like acorns. They are tasty." + +Lily and Ben were surprised and scared. They saw the squirrel and said, "No, you can't have the acorn. It is ours. We are making a cake. Go away." + +The squirrel was angry and lively. He said, "No, it is mine. I saw it first. Give it to me." He tried to grab the acorn from the pile. + +Lily and Ben did not want to give the acorn to the squirrel. They said, "No, no, no. It is ours, ours, ours." They tried to push the squirrel away from the pile. + +They started to fight over the acorn. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The pile was broken and the cake was ruined. The acorn was lost in the mess. + +They stopped fighting and looked at the mess. They felt sad and sorry. They said, "Oh, no. What have we done? We have no cake. We have no acorn. We have no fun." + +The squirrel felt sad and sorry too. He said, "Oh, no. What have we done? I have no acorn. I have no friends. I have no fun." + +They looked at each other and said, "We are sorry. We were silly. We should have shared. Can we be friends?" + +They nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, we can be friends. Let's play together. Let's find more acorns and make a new cake. A bigger and better cake. A cake for all of us." + +They hugged and laughed and said, "Yes, let's do that. That sounds like fun." + +They ran to the tree and looked for more acorns. They found many acorns and put them in a basket. They said, "Look, we have many acorns. Let's go and mix them with other things and make a new cake. A bigger and better cake. A cake for all of us." + +They went to a new spot and put the acorns and other things in a new pile. They used their hands and feet to mix them. They had fun and made a lot of noise. They said, "Mix, mix, mix. We are making a new cake. Mix, mix, mix. It will be yummy." + +They made a new cake and ate it together. They said, "Mmm, this is a good cake. We like this cake. We like acorns. We like each other." + +They were happy and full and tired. They said, "Thank you for the cake. Thank you for the acorns. Thank you for the fun. Thank you for being friends." + +They cuddled and slept under the tree. They dreamed of acorns and cakes and friends. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Anna was the princess and Ben was the knight. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom. She was cooking dinner and she dropped a pot. She said a bad word. Anna and Ben looked at each other. They were scared. They ran to the kitchen to see what happened. + +Their mom was okay, but she was very angry. She saw the mess on the floor and the stove. She saw Anna and Ben and she yelled at them. She said they were naughty and they made her panic. She said they had to go to their room and stay there until evening. She said she had no time to clean up and make dinner. + +Anna and Ben felt very sorry. They did not mean to make their mom panic. They did not make the mess. They just wanted to play. They started to cry. They hugged each other and went to their room. + +They sat on their bed and waited for evening. They hoped their mom would calm down and forgive them. They hoped she would still love them. They said they were sorry to each other and to their mom. They wished they could make her happy. +Lily and Ben were squirrels who liked to play in the forest. They liked to climb trees, jump on leaves, and chase each other. They also liked to find acorns and store them for winter. + +One day, they found a big, shiny acorn under a bush. It was the biggest acorn they had ever seen. They both wanted it for themselves. + +"Mine!" said Lily, grabbing the acorn. + +"No, mine!" said Ben, pulling the acorn. + +They tugged and tugged, but neither of them would let go. They started to argue and shout. + +"Stop!" said a voice. It was Mama Squirrel, who had heard the noise. She was a chubby squirrel with a fluffy tail. She came over and looked at the acorn. + +"What are you doing, my little ones?" she asked. + +"We found this acorn, and we both want it!" said Lily and Ben. + +"But you have so many acorns already. Why do you need this one?" asked Mama Squirrel. + +"Because it's big and shiny!" said Lily and Ben. + +Mama Squirrel smiled. She had an idea. + +"How about we share it?" she suggested. "We can cook it and make a yummy soup. Then we can all have some. What do you think?" + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They liked soup. They liked sharing. They nodded and smiled. + +"Okay!" they said. + +"Good!" said Mama Squirrel. "Then let's go home and cook this acorn. Come on, my little ones!" + +She took the acorn and led the way. Lily and Ben followed her, holding paws. They were happy and hungry. They couldn't wait to taste the acorn soup. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their bikes in the park. They have a race to see who is faster. + +"Ready, set, go!" Ben says. He speeds on his red bike. Lily speeds on her blue bike. They zoom past the trees and the swings. + +"I will win!" Ben shouts. He looks back at Lily. She is close behind him. Her long hair flies in the wind. + +"No, I will win!" Lily says. She pedals harder. She catches up with Ben. They are almost at the finish line. + +"Wow, you are fast!" Ben says. He smiles at Lily. He is proud of his sister. + +"Thank you, you are fast too!" Lily says. She smiles back at Ben. She is happy to have a fair race. + +They cross the finish line together. They hug and laugh. They are both winners. They love to play with their bikes. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big ruler and a tape. They wanted to measure things. + +"Let's measure the tree," Lily said. "It is very tall." + +"OK," Tom said. "You hold the tape and I will climb up." + +Tom climbed up the tree. He pulled the tape with him. Lily held the other end. She looked at the ruler. + +"The tree is ten meters," she said. "That is a lot." + +Tom was proud. He looked around. He saw a bird. It was red and blue. It was very pretty. + +"Look, Lily," he said. "A bird. I want to measure it." + +He reached out his hand. He tried to grab the bird. The bird did not like that. It was wild. It pecked Tom's hand. It made a loud noise. + +"Ow!" Tom said. "It hurts. Go away, bird." + +He let go of the tape. He fell down. He landed on the grass. He cried. + +Lily ran to him. She hugged him. She was sorry. + +"Are you OK, Tom?" she said. "I am sorry. The bird was wild. It did not want to be measured." + +Tom nodded. He was OK. He was brave. He stopped crying. + +"It's OK, Lily," he said. "I am sorry too. I should not have tried to measure the bird. It was not nice." + +They smiled. They were friends. They decided to measure something else. Something quiet. Like a flower. Or a rock. Or a snail. They had fun. They measured many things. They learned a lot. +Anna loved her new dress. It was red and soft like velvet. She wanted to show it to her friends at the party. She put on her shiny shoes and ran to the door. + +But Anna was clumsy. She did not see the water on the floor. She slipped and fell down. Her dress got wet and dirty. She cried and cried. + +Mom came and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, Anna. We can wash your dress and make it clean again. And you can still go to the party. I have a surprise for you." + +Mom took Anna to her room. She opened the closet and showed her another dress. It was blue and sparkly like the sky. Anna smiled and clapped her hands. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love this dress too. It is even prettier than the red one." + +Mom helped Anna put on the blue dress and a matching bow. She said, "You look beautiful, Anna. Now let's go to the party and have fun. And be careful not to slip again." +Lila and Ben are playing with their dolls in the living room. They have a lot of clothes for their dolls, some are plain and some are fancy. Lila likes the fancy ones, with shiny buttons and lace. Ben likes the plain ones, with soft fabric and bright colors. + +"Look, Ben, this dress is so fancy!" Lila says, holding up a pink dress with silver thread. "It has sparkles and flowers. I want to put it on my doll." + +"But it's raining outside, Lila," Ben says, looking out the window. "The dress will get wet and dirty. Why don't you choose a different one?" + +"No, I like this one. It's the prettiest. And it's not raining hard, just a little bit. Come on, let's go outside and play with our dolls." + +Lila grabs her doll and the fancy dress and runs to the door. Ben follows her with his doll and a plain shirt and pants. They put on their shoes and coats and go outside. The grass is wet and the sky is gray. Lila puts the fancy dress on her doll and holds her up. + +"See, Ben, she looks so beautiful. She's a princess. And the rain makes her shine more." + +Ben looks at his doll and smiles. He puts the plain shirt and pants on his doll and holds him up. + +"And he looks so happy. He's a farmer. And the rain makes his crops grow more." + +They pretend that their dolls are talking to each other and having fun. They don't mind the rain, because they have each other. They play until their mom calls them inside for lunch. They take off their dolls' clothes and put them in a basket. They hug their dolls and say thank you. + +"Thank you for playing with me, Ben," Lila says. + +"Thank you for playing with me, Lila," Ben says. + +They are good friends. They like different things, but they also like each other. They go inside and eat their lunch. They are happy. +Anna loves shrimp. She likes to eat them with rice and sauce. Sometimes, she helps her mom peel the shrimp and put them in a bowl. She is very obedient and does not touch the hot stove. + +One day, Anna and her mom go to the market. They see many things there: fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and fish. Anna sees a big basket of shrimp. She points to them and says, "Mom, can we buy some shrimp? I love shrimp!" + +Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, we can buy some shrimp. But first, we have to pay for the other things we need. Can you help me carry this bag of apples?" + +Anna nods and takes the bag of apples. She follows her mom to the cashier. She is very careful and does not drop the bag. She is very obedient and does not run away. + +After they pay for the other things, they go back to the basket of shrimp. Her mom picks some shrimp and puts them in a plastic bag. She pays for the shrimp and gives the bag to Anna. Anna is very happy and says, "Thank you, mom! I love you and I love shrimp!" + +Her mom hugs her and says, "You're welcome, Anna. I love you too. You are a very good and obedient girl. Now, let's go home and cook some shrimp for lunch!" +Lily was upset. She wanted to play with her ball, but it was dark outside. She could not see the ball or the grass or the trees. She could only see shadows. Shadows were scary. They looked like monsters and ghosts. + +She heard a knock on the door. It was her friend Ben. He had a flashlight. He said, "Do you want to play with me? I have a flashlight. We can make shadows with our hands. It is fun." + +Lily was not sure. She said, "But shadows are scary. They look like monsters and ghosts." + +Ben said, "No, they are not. They are just shapes. Look, I can make a bunny with my fingers. See? It has ears and a nose and a tail. It is not scary. It is cute." + +Lily looked at the flashlight. She saw the bunny on the wall. It was cute. She smiled. She said, "Can I try?" + +Ben said, "Sure. Here, take the flashlight. You can make any shape you want. How about a bird? Or a star? Or a flower?" + +Lily took the flashlight. She tried to make a bird. She moved her fingers and thumb. She saw the bird on the wall. It had wings and a beak and a tail. It was not scary. It was pretty. She said, "Wow, this is fun. Thank you, Ben." + +Ben said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. Do you want to make more shapes?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. Let's make more shapes. Maybe we can make a story with them. A story about a bunny and a bird and a star and a flower." + +Ben said, "That sounds great. I hope we can make a good story. A story that makes us happy." + +Lily said, "Me too. I hope we can make a good story. A story that makes us happy." +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red apple on a tree. They wanted to taste it. + +"Let's get the apple," Ben said. "It looks yummy." + +"But Mom said we can't," Lily said. "She said it is not our apple. It is Mr. Brown's apple. He is our neighbor. He is nice. He sometimes gives us cookies." + +"I don't care," Ben said. "I want the apple. You can have half. Come on, Lily. Don't be a baby." + +Ben climbed on a chair. He reached for the apple. He pulled it hard. The apple fell down. Ben jumped off the chair. He picked up the apple. He smiled. + +"Look, Lily. We got the apple. Let's taste it." + +He bit the apple. He made a face. The apple was sour. He spit it out. + +"Yuck," Ben said. "This apple is bad. It is not yummy. It is yucky." + +Lily laughed. She did not taste the apple. She knew it was not good. She saw Mr. Brown's watch on the table. It was shiny. It had numbers and hands. She liked it. + +"Look, Ben. A watch. Let's play with it." + +She took the watch. She put it on her wrist. She pretended to tell the time. + +"It is time for tea," Lily said. "Let's go inside." + +She ran to the house. Ben followed her. He threw the apple away. He forgot about it. + +They did not see Mr. Brown. He came back from the store. He saw his apple on the ground. He saw his watch missing. He was angry. He knew who took them. He went to the house. He knocked on the door. + +Mom opened the door. She saw Mr. Brown. She saw his face. She knew something was wrong. + +"Hello, Mr. Brown. Is everything okay?" Mom asked. + +"No, it is not," Mr. Brown said. "Your twins are naughty. They took my apple and my watch. They did not ask me. They did not say sorry. They are bad." + +Mom was shocked. She did not know what to say. She looked for Lily and Ben. She saw them in the living room. They were playing with the watch. They did not see Mr. Brown. They did not hear him. + +Mom was angry. She took the watch from Lily. She gave it back to Mr. Brown. She said sorry. She said thank you. She said goodbye. + +She turned to Lily and Ben. She scolded them. She told them they were naughty. She told them they were wrong. She told them they had to say sorry to Mr. Brown. She told them they had to go to their room. She told them they had no cookies for snack. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They knew they were naughty. They knew they were wrong. They said sorry to Mom. They said sorry to Mr. Brown. They went to their room. They had no cookies for snack. + +They learned their lesson. They never took anything that was not theirs again. They never tasted a sour apple again. They never played with a watch again. They were good. +Sara did not like to bathe. She liked to play with her toys and watch cartoons. She did not like water on her face or soap in her hair. She cried and kicked when her mom tried to bathe her. + +One day, Sara went to school. She had a new teacher, Miss Lee. Miss Lee was very nice and friendly. She showed Sara and the other kids the classroom. There were books, crayons, puzzles, and a big fish tank. + +"Look, Sara, these are our fish friends. They are very colorful and happy. Do you know why?" Miss Lee asked. + +Sara shook her head. She did not know. + +"Because they bathe every day. They swim in the water and keep themselves clean. They also eat healthy food and share with each other. They are not spoiled like some kids I know." Miss Lee said with a smile. + +Sara felt ashamed. She looked at the fish and saw how shiny and bright they were. She thought about herself and how dirty and grumpy she was. She did not want to be spoiled. She wanted to be like the fish. + +"Miss Lee, can I bathe like the fish?" Sara asked. + +"Of course, Sara. You can bathe like the fish at home. You can use a tub or a shower. You can use a sponge or a washcloth. You can use shampoo or soap. You can sing or hum. You can make bubbles or splash. You can have fun and be clean. Do you want to try?" Miss Lee said. + +Sara nodded. She wanted to try. She wanted to bathe like the fish. She wanted to be colorful and happy. She thanked Miss Lee and gave her a hug. She decided to bathe every day from then on. +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks. They have fun together. + +One day, they find a new block in their toy box. It is a big, blue square block. It is very interesting. They both want to play with it. They start to argue. + +"It is mine!" Lily says. "I saw it first!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I like blue more!" + +They pull the block from each other. They are angry and loud. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the block and smiles. She has a surprise for them. + +"This is not a regular block," she says. "It is a special block. It can change shape when you soak it in water. Do you want to try?" + +Lily and Ben stop arguing. They are curious and excited. They nod and follow Mom to the bathroom. Mom fills the tub with water and puts the block in. They watch as the block starts to grow and change. It becomes a big, blue boat. + +"Wow!" Lily and Ben say. "That is amazing!" + +They forget their fight and take turns playing with the boat. They splash and laugh. They are happy and friendly. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She is glad they learned to share and have fun. She thinks the block is very interesting, too. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big truck. Mia has a small doll.

It is mine now." + +Tom is angry and scared. He says, "No, this is my truck. I like it very much. It has value to me. Go away." + +Sam does not listen. He tries to grab the truck from Tom. Tom holds on to the truck hard. He does not want to lose it. He shouts, "Help, help!" + +Mia hears Tom's shout. She rushes to help him. She sees Sam and says, "Stop it, Sam. You are being mean. You cannot take Tom's truck. It is his toy. You have to ask nicely and share." + +Sam does not care. He pushes Mia away. He says, "I don't want to share. I want the truck. It is big and cool. You have a silly doll. It is small and boring." + +Mia is sad and angry. She loves her doll. It has value to her. She says, "My doll is not silly. It is pretty and soft. I like it very much. You are being rude. You have to be nice and kind." + +Sam does not listen. He tries to take the doll from Mia. Mia holds on to the doll hard. She does not want to lose it. She shouts, "Help, help!" + +Tom and Mia are in trouble. They need someone to help them. They hope someone will come soon. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big fence with a sign that said "Keep Out". They were curious. They wanted to see what was behind the fence. + +They climbed over the fence and saw a lot of cars and trucks. They were shiny and colorful. Tom and Lily thought they were toys. They ran to the cars and trucks and started to play with them. They honked the horns, turned the wheels and pushed the buttons. + +"Hey, what are you doing here?" a loud voice shouted. Tom and Lily turned around and saw a man in a blue suit. He looked angry. He had a badge and a gun. He was a police officer. He came to the fence and opened a gate. He walked to Tom and Lily and grabbed them by the arms. "You are in big trouble, kids. You are not supposed to be here. This is a police station. These are not toys. These are police cars and trucks. You have damaged them. You have to come with me." + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know they were doing something bad. They did not know what a police station was. They did not know what damaged meant. They were confused. They tried to pull away from the police officer, but he was too strong. He dragged them to a big building. He took them to a small room with bars. He put them inside the room and locked the door. He said, "This is jail. You have to stay here until your parents come. They will be very mad at you. You have to learn your lesson." + +Tom and Lily cried. They did not like jail. It was dark and cold and scary. They wanted to go home. They wanted to see their parents. They wanted to play in the park. They wished they never climbed over the fence. They wished they never played with the cars and trucks. They wished they never met the police officer. They were very sorry. But it was too late. They had to balance in jail. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. The truck stops near the swings. Anna and Ben run to the truck. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want some ice-cream?" a friendly man asks. He has a big hat and a white apron. He opens a window and shows them many colors of ice-cream. + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben say. They look at the ice-cream and try to choose. Anna likes pink. Ben likes brown. + +"I want the pink one, please," Anna says. + +"I want the brown one, please," Ben says. + +The friendly man smiles and gives them each a cone with a scoop of ice-cream. Anna and Ben say thank you and lick their ice-cream. It is cold and sweet and yummy. + +They walk to a bench and sit down. They enjoy their ice-cream and talk about the park. They see a dog, a bird, and a flower. They are happy. + +Suddenly, a big boy comes and grabs Ben's cone. He pulls it hard and runs away. Ben is sad and angry. He cries. + +"Hey, that's not nice! Give it back!" Anna shouts. She runs after the big boy. She is brave and fast. She catches up with him and pulls his shirt. He drops the cone and falls down. Anna picks up the cone and gives it back to Ben. + +"Here, Ben. It's okay. You can have your ice-cream," Anna says. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend," Ben says. + +They hug and smile. They go back to the bench and finish their ice-cream. They are happy again. + +The friendly man sees what happened. He is proud of Anna. He gives her another scoop of ice-cream. She says thank you and shares it with Ben. They are very happy. + +The end. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they go to Tom's house after school. Tom has a new toy. It is a big truck with lights and sounds. Sara wants to play with it too. + +"Can I have a turn?" Sara asks Tom. + +"No, this is my truck. You can play with the other cars," Tom says. + +"But I like this truck. It is so cool. Please, let me have a turn," Sara says. + +"No, you can't. It is mine. Go away," Tom says. He pushes Sara away. + +Sara is upset. She feels sad and angry. She does not want to play with Tom anymore. She runs to Tom's mom and tells her what happened. + +"Tom is not nice. He does not allow me to play with his truck. He pushed me," Sara says. + +Tom's mom is upset too. She does not like Tom's behavior. She goes to Tom and takes his truck away. + +"Tom, you are not being a good friend. You have to share your toys with Sara. She is your guest. You cannot push her or be rude to her. That is not how we treat people," Tom's mom says. + +Tom feels sorry. He knows he was wrong. He does not want to lose his truck or his friend. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Sara. I was selfish. You can play with my truck. I will play with the other cars," Tom says. + +Sara smiles. She is happy. She forgives Tom. She likes him again. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I will share my toys with you too. Let's play together," Sara says. + +Tom and Sara hug. They start to play with the truck and the cars. They have fun. Tom's mom is proud of them. She gives them cookies and juice. They are happy. +Jill liked to sort her toys by color. She had a box for red toys, a box for blue toys, and a box for yellow toys. She was very happy when her toys were neat and tidy. + +One day, a fairy came to visit Jill. The fairy was very curious and wanted to play with Jill's toys. She flew around the room and picked up different toys. She did not care about the colors. She put a red car in the blue box, a blue ball in the yellow box, and a yellow duck in the red box. She thought it was fun to mix up the toys. + +Jill saw what the fairy was doing and felt very angry. She did not like her toys to be messy. She shouted at the fairy and told her to stop. The fairy did not listen. She kept playing with the toys and making them more mixed up. + +Jill ran to the fairy and tried to grab her. The fairy was faster and flew away. She flew out of the window and into the rain. She did not like the rain. It made her wings wet and heavy. She could not fly well. She wished she had listened to Jill and stayed inside. + +Jill saw the fairy in the rain and felt sorry for her. She knew the fairy was wet and cold. She opened the window and called to the fairy. She told her to come back and dry off. The fairy was glad to hear Jill's voice. She flew back to the window and into the room. Jill gave her a towel and a hug. She told her she was sorry for shouting at her. The fairy told her she was sorry for messing up her toys. They both said they were sorry and became friends. They decided to sort the toys together by color. They had fun and learned from each other. +Sara was a gifted girl who liked to draw and paint. She had many colors and papers to make beautiful pictures. She was very happy when her mom gave her a new book to fill with her art. + +One day, Sara wanted to share her book with her friend Lily. She took her book and her colors and went to Lily's house. Lily was happy to see Sara and her book. She said, "Wow, Sara, your book is so nice! Can I see your pictures?" + +Sara nodded and opened her book. She showed Lily her pictures of flowers, animals, and rainbows. Lily liked them very much. She said, "Sara, you are very gifted. You can draw and paint so well. Can I try to make a picture too?" + +Sara smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. You can use my colors and a blank page. But please be careful and don't make a mess." + +Lily thanked Sara and took a color. She started to draw a butterfly on the page. But she was not very careful. She pressed the color too hard and broke it. She said, "Oops, sorry, Sara. I broke your color. Can I have another one?" + +Sara gave her another color and said, "It's okay, Lily. But please be gentle and don't break it again." + +Lily nodded and took the color. She continued to draw the butterfly. But she was not very gentle. She moved the color too fast and made a big stain on the page. She said, "Oops, sorry, Sara. I stained your page. Can I have another one?" + +Sara looked at her book and saw the stain. She felt sad and angry. She said, "No, Lily. You can't have another one. You are not careful and gentle. You ruined my book. You are not a good friend." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I didn't mean to ruin your book. I just wanted to make a picture like you. Please forgive me." + +Sara thought for a moment. She remembered that her mom gave her the book to fill with her art and to share with her friends. She realized that she was not very nice to Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I was not very nice to you. I should have helped you and taught you how to draw and paint. You are my friend and I want to share with you. Please forgive me, too." + +Lily smiled and hugged Sara. She said, "Thank you, Sara. You are my friend and I want to learn from you. Can we make another picture together?" + +Sara nodded and hugged Lily. She said, "Yes, Lily. We can make another picture together. Let's use another color and another page. And let's be careful and gentle and have fun." + +They took another color and another page and started to make a picture together. They filled the page with their art and their friendship. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful and gentle with your things and your friends. Share and help each other and have fun. +Lily and Ben love to play hockey with their sticks and ball. They like to run and hit the ball and score goals. Sometimes they play in the park, and sometimes they play in the backyard. + +One day, Mom says they can play hockey in the backyard, but they have to be careful and not break anything. She says she has to order some food for dinner, and she will be back soon. Lily and Ben say okay and go outside. + +They start to play hockey, but they get bored of the backyard. They see the street and think it is more fun. They run to the street with their sticks and ball, and forget what Mom said. + +They play hockey in the street, but they are naughty. They hit the ball very hard and very fast. They do not look for cars or people. They break a window, a lamp, and a flower pot. They make a lot of noise and a lot of mess. + +Mom comes back and sees what they did. She is very angry and very sad. She says they are in big trouble. She says they have to pay for the things they broke, and they have to say sorry to the neighbors. She says they cannot play hockey for a long time, and they have to go to their rooms. Lily and Ben cry and say they are sorry, but it is too late. Mom says they have to learn to listen and be good. She says they have no dinner, and she takes away their sticks and ball. Lily and Ben go to their rooms and feel very bad. They wish they had not been naughty. They wish they had stayed in the backyard. +Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big dog with a wide mouth and a loud bark. The dog is not on a leash. It runs towards them. + +"Help!" Lily cries. "The dog is scary!" + +Ben is brave. He loves his sister. He wants to protect her. He stands in front of Lily and shouts at the dog. + +"Go away, dog! You are not nice! Leave us alone!" + +The dog stops and looks at Ben. It growls and shows its teeth. Ben feels afraid, but he does not move. + +"Ben, you are so brave!" Lily says. "But what if the dog bites you?" + +"Don't worry, Lily. I will be okay. We have to wait for someone to help us. Maybe the dog's owner will come. Or maybe a grown-up will see us and call for help." + +They wait and wait. They hope someone will come soon. They hold hands and pray. + +Then they hear a whistle. It is the dog's owner. He runs to the park and calls the dog. + +"Rex, come here! Bad dog! I'm sorry, kids. He ran away from me. He is not mean, he is just playful. But he should not scare you like that. Are you okay?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They are okay. They are glad the dog's owner came. They are also glad they have each other. + +"Thank you for protecting me, Ben. You are the best brother ever!" Lily says. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You are the best sister ever!" Ben says. + +They hug and smile. They are happy and safe. They go back to playing in the park. They have fun. They love each other. The end. +Ben and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big train that went under the ground. It was called a subway. They wanted to ride the subway, but they had no money. + +"Let's steal some money from that lady," Ben said, pointing to a woman who was sitting on a bench. She had a purse with a zipper. + +"No, that's bad," Sam said. "She will be sad and angry. And stealing is wrong." + +"Who cares?" Ben said. "She has a lot of money. She won't miss it. Come on, it will be fun." + +Ben ran to the bench and grabbed the purse. He opened the zipper and took out some bills. He ran back to Sam and showed him the money. + +"See? Now we can ride the subway," Ben said. "Let's go." + +They ran to the subway station and bought two tickets. They got on the train and sat down. They were happy and excited. + +But then, the woman who owned the purse came on the train. She saw Ben and Sam and recognized them. She was very mad. She yelled at them and took back her money. She also told the conductor what they did. + +The conductor stopped the train and called the police. The police came and took Ben and Sam away. They were scared and sorry. They had to go to the police station and wait for their parents. They were in big trouble. + +They learned that stealing was not fun. It was bad and stupid. They wished they had not done it. They wished they had been original and played something else in the park. +Lisa loved her doll very much. She gave her doll a name, Anna, and played with her every day. She liked to move Anna's arms and legs and make her talk. She was very enthusiastic about her doll. + +One day, Lisa's mom said they had to go to the store. Lisa wanted to bring Anna with her, but her mom said no. She said Anna might get lost or dirty at the store. She told Lisa to leave Anna on the bed and they would come back soon. + +Lisa was sad, but she did what her mom said. She kissed Anna goodbye and put her on the bed. She hoped Anna would not be lonely. She went to the store with her mom. + +But when they came back, Lisa saw something terrible. Her dog, Spot, had jumped on the bed and chewed Anna. Anna's head was torn off and her dress was ripped. Her stuffing was everywhere. Lisa screamed and cried. She ran to Anna and hugged her, but it was too late. Anna was broken. + +Lisa's mom was sorry. She tried to comfort Lisa and said they could get a new doll. But Lisa did not want a new doll. She wanted Anna. She was very angry at Spot and at her mom. She said she hated them and ran to her room. She did not talk to them for a long time. She was very unhappy. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Sam says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide. But they see a group of big kids. The big kids are rough. They push and shout. They do not let Sam and Ben go on the slide. + +"Hey, this is our slide!" one big kid says. + +"Go away, little kids!" another big kid says. + +Sam and Ben are sad. They do not like the big kids. They want to play on the slide. + +They see a lady. The lady is nice. She works in the park. She sees Sam and Ben. + +"What's wrong, boys?" the lady asks. + +"The big kids are rough. They do not let us go on the slide." Sam says. + +"That's not nice. Come with me." the lady says. + +The lady talks to the big kids. She tells them to share the slide. She tells them to be kind. She tells them to say sorry. + +The big kids say sorry. They let Sam and Ben go on the slide. Sam and Ben are happy. They thank the lady. + +They go on the slide. They have fun. They gain new friends. The big kids are not rough anymore. They play with Sam and Ben. They all have fun in the park. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park with their bikes. They like to ride fast and make loud noises. They pretend they are police and chase bad people. + +"Stop, bad guy! You are under arrest!" Anna shouts, as she pedals after Ben. + +"Never! You can't catch me, police!" Ben says, as he turns his bike around a tree. + +They have fun, but they are very noisy. Some people in the park do not like their noise. They want to read, or sleep, or talk. + +"Shh, kids, please be quiet. You are disturbing us," a man says, as he walks by with his dog. + +"Sorry, sir, we are just playing," Anna says, as she stops her bike. + +"But you are too loud. Please go somewhere else," the man says, as he frowns. + +Anna and Ben feel sad. They do not want to leave the park. They like it here. They look for another place to play. + +They see a big hill. They think it will be fun to ride down the hill. They push their bikes up the hill. They are ready to go. + +"Ready, set, go!" Anna says, as she starts to ride down the hill. + +"Wait for me!" Ben says, as he follows her. + +They go very fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. They are happy. + +But they do not see the sign. The sign says "No bikes". The sign is there because the hill is dangerous. There are rocks, and holes, and branches. + +Anna and Ben hit a bump. They lose control of their bikes. They fall off. They hurt themselves. They cry. + +"Help, help!" Anna says, as she holds her knee. + +"Ow, ow!" Ben says, as he rubs his elbow. + +Some people hear their cries. They run to help them. They are real police. They wear blue uniforms and badges. They have a car with lights and sirens. + +"Are you okay, kids?" one police says, as he kneels next to Anna. + +"We are sorry, police. We did not see the sign. We were just playing," Anna says, as she sniffles. + +"It's okay, kids. We are here to help you. But you have to be careful. The hill is not safe for bikes. You could have been hurt worse," the other police says, as he checks Ben's wound. + +"Thank you, police. You are very nice," Ben says, as he smiles. + +The police bandage their cuts and bruises. They give them stickers and water. They put their bikes in the car. They drive them back to the park. They find their parents. + +"Mom, dad, we are sorry. We were playing police and we went down the hill. We did not see the sign. We fell off our bikes. The police helped us," Anna says, as she hugs her mom. + +"Oh, my poor babies. I'm glad you are okay. But you have to be more careful. And you have to follow the rules. The sign is there for a reason," mom says, as she kisses her forehead. + +"We are sorry, mom. We learned our lesson. We will not be noisy or go down the hill again," Ben says, as he hugs his dad. + +"I'm proud of you, son. You are brave and honest. And you thanked the police. They are here to protect us," dad says, as he pats his back. + +The police wave goodbye. They turn on their lights and sirens. They drive away. + +Anna and Ben wave back. They are happy. They are safe. They are friends. They are police. +Ben likes to print with his crayons. He prints on paper, on the wall, on his shirt. He prints big and small, red and blue, happy and sad. He prints what he sees and what he thinks. + +One day, he prints a spell. He prints a thin line, a circle, a star, and a word. He prints the word "cat". He likes cats. He wants a cat. + +He shows his spell to his mom. "Look, mom, I print a spell. I print cat. Can I have a cat?" + +Mom smiles. She is proud of Ben. He can print and spell. But she shakes her head. "No, Ben, you can't have a cat. We have no room for a cat. And dad is allergic to cats. He sneezes when he sees a cat." + +Ben is sad. He likes his spell, but he wants a cat more. He thinks hard. He prints another word. He prints the word "dog". He likes dogs. He thinks dogs are fun. + +He shows his spell to his mom. "Look, mom, I print another spell. I print dog. Can I have a dog?" + +Mom laughs. She hugs Ben. She likes his spells, but she knows they are not real. She says, "No, Ben, you can't have a dog. We have no yard for a dog. And dogs are loud and messy. They bark and chew and dig." + +Ben is sad. He likes his spells, but he wants a pet more. He thinks harder. He prints another word. He prints the word "fish". He likes fish. He thinks fish are pretty. + +He shows his spell to his mom. "Look, mom, I print one more spell. I print fish. Can I have a fish?" + +Mom smiles. She is happy for Ben. He can print and spell and try. She says, "Yes, Ben, you can have a fish. We have a bowl for a fish. And fish are quiet and clean. They swim and shine and bubble." + +Ben is happy. He likes his spell, and he likes his fish. He prints a thank you. He prints the word "mom". He loves his mom. He gives her a kiss. +Tim and Kim are twins who like to play outside. One day, they see a big fire in the forest near their house. They see a lot of smoke in the air. They are scared and run to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there is a fire in the forest!" they say. + +Mom hugs them and says, "Don't worry, my loves. The firemen are coming to put out the fire. They are very brave and strong. They have a big truck with a hose and a ladder. They will catch the fire and make it stop." + +Tim and Kim watch from the window as the firemen arrive. They see them spray water on the fire and climb the ladder to reach the trees. They see them catch some animals that are trapped by the fire and bring them to safety. They see them work hard until the fire is gone and the smoke is less. + +"Wow, mom, the firemen are amazing!" they say. + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, they are. They are heroes who help people and animals when there is danger. They are kind and brave. Do you know what we can do to thank them?" + +Tim and Kim think for a moment and say, "Maybe we can make them a card or a cake?" + +Mom nods and says, "That's a good idea. We can also do something else. We can be careful with fire and not play with matches or candles. We can also help the forest by not throwing trash or breaking branches. We can be good friends to the firemen and the forest." + +Tim and Kim agree and say, "Yes, mom, we can do that. We love the firemen and the forest. We want them to be happy and safe." + +Mom hugs them and says, "I'm proud of you, my loves. You are smart and good. Now, let's go and make that card and cake!" +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many flowers, trees and rocks. They liked to run, jump and explore the landscape. Sometimes they saw birds, bugs and squirrels. + +One day, Lily and Max were playing hide and seek. Lily hid behind a big rock and waited for Max to find her. She heard Max counting and looking for her. She smiled and stayed quiet. She liked this game. + +But then, she heard something else. She heard a soft snore. She peeked from behind the rock and saw a big brown bear. The bear was napping under a tree. He looked very cozy and warm. Lily felt envious. She wished she could nap like the bear. + +She wanted to tell Max about the bear, but she was afraid to wake him up. She decided to wait until the bear left. She hoped he would not find her or Max. She was a little scared, but also curious. + +She watched the bear for a long time. He did not move much. He just snored and twitched his nose. Lily wondered what he was dreaming about. She wondered if he had a family or friends. She wondered if he liked to play hide and seek. + +She was so busy watching the bear that she did not notice Max. He had found her hiding spot and crept behind her. He tapped her shoulder and shouted, "Boo!" + +Lily jumped and screamed. The bear woke up and roared. Max and Lily ran away as fast as they could. They did not stop until they reached their house. They slammed the door and hugged each other. + +They were glad they were safe. They were also very tired. They decided to take a nap on the couch. They snuggled together and closed their eyes. They dreamed of the bear and the landscape. They were not envious anymore. They were happy. +Tom was a boy who liked to wander. He did not listen to his mom and dad, who told him to stay near the house. He wanted to see new things and have fun. One day, he wandered too far and got lost in the woods. + +He saw a big bird with a long beak and bright feathers. He thought it was pretty and wanted to play with it. He followed the bird deeper into the woods, whistling to get its attention. The bird whistled back, but it was not friendly. It was a trap. + +The bird led Tom to a big hole in the ground, where an ugly monster lived. The monster was hungry and liked to eat children. It heard Tom's whistle and came out of the hole. It grabbed Tom with its claws and dragged him into the hole. Tom screamed, but no one heard him. He was gone. + +The moral of the story is: do not wander away from your parents, or you might meet danger. Listen to their words, because they love you and want to keep you safe. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big pond with some ducks and fish. They wanted to join them and have fun. + +"Look, Ben, there is a crocodile in the pond!" Lily said. She pointed to a long green thing with many teeth. "It is scary and mean. We should not go near it." + +Ben was not afraid. He was curious and brave. He wanted to see the crocodile better. He said, "It is not a crocodile, Lily. It is a log. Logs do not bite. I will show you." + +Ben walked to the edge of the pond. He was not careful. He did not see the crocodile move. It opened its mouth and snapped at Ben. Ben screamed and ran back to Lily. + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "I told you it was a crocodile, Ben. You should have listened to me. You should be careful. Crocodiles are dangerous. They can hurt you." + +Ben was sorry and scared. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was silly and wrong. I will not go near the crocodile again. I will stay with you and play safe." + +Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They did not join the crocodile. They joined the ducks and fish instead. They fed them some bread and watched them swim. They had fun and were happy. +Tim and his mom go to church every Sunday. Tim likes to sing and pray with mom. He also likes to see his friends from the church school.

You are a good dog. Do you want to come to church with me?" Tim says. + +Rex barks again. He follows Tim into the church. Tim's mom sees them. + +"Tim, who is this?" mom says. + +"This is Rex, mom. He is a dog. He is my friend. Can he stay with us?" Tim says. + +Mom smiles. She sees that Rex has a tag. She reads it. It says "Rex belongs to Mr. Jones. He is a loyal dog. Please call me if you find him." + +"Tim, Rex is a lost dog. He has a owner who misses him. We have to call Mr. Jones and tell him we found Rex." mom says. + +Tim feels sad. He likes Rex. He wants to keep him. + +"But mom, Rex likes me. He likes church. He is a loyal dog. Can we keep him?" Tim says. + +Mom hugs Tim. She understands how he feels. + +"Tim, I know you like Rex. He is a loyal dog. But he is also loyal to Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones loves Rex and Rex loves him. We have to help them find each other. That is what loyal friends do." mom says. + +Tim thinks. He loves Rex. But he also wants Rex to be happy. He wants to be a loyal friend. + +"Ok, mom. Let's call Mr. Jones. Maybe he can come to church and get Rex. Then we can all be friends."

The spaceship started to come down to the ground. The car was scared, but also very excited. The spaceship landed right next to the car, and a friendly alien came out. The alien said hello and asked the car if it wanted to go on an adventure. The car said yes, and they started to drive away together. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her dolls and stuffed animals. One day, she went to the park to play with her friends. They decided to build a sandcastle together. + +Lily's friend, Tommy, didn't know how to build a sandcastle. Lily said, "I can show you how to do it!" She showed him how to make a big pile of sand and how to use a bucket to make a tower. Tommy was happy and said, "Thank you, Lily! You are so helpful!" + +Later that day, Lily's mom took her to a museum. There, she saw a symbol on the wall. She asked her mom, "What is that symbol?" Her mom explained that a symbol is a picture or a sign that means something. Lily was curious and wanted to learn more. + +As they were leaving the museum, Lily saw a man who looked lost. She asked her mom if they could help him. Her mom said, "Of course, Lily! It's always good to help others." They walked up to the man and asked if he needed help. He said yes and thanked them for being kind. Lily felt proud of herself for helping someone who was ignorant of the area. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily.
