She excitedly called out to the rabbit, "Let's explore this way!" + +The rabbit, who was still catching her breath, replied, "I don't know about that. I've never gone down a gray path before. It might not be safe." + +But the squirrel didn't want to listen, she kept skipping and hopping down the path. + +"Please stop," the rabbit pleaded. This time, the squirrel stopped. The rabbit continued, "We don't know where this path might lead us and it's always wise to be cautious when exploring new places!" + +The squirrel thought for a while, and then realized that the rabbit was right.

He complained about anything and everything that didn't go his way. One day, the weather took a turn for the worse and the winds blew fiercely. + +The pirate got quite angry and began yelling and complaining even more. And he was not the only one who complained - the other sailors on his boat also grumbled at the wind and the waves. Finally, the storm passed and they arrived safely ashore. + +The pirate stepped back and realized how silly he had been. After all, it was foolish to complain when he was in such a critical situation.

It was a reminder of the fun that they had gathered around it! +Max and Mommy were outside in the park. Max wanted to get an ice cream, but Mommy said no. Max was upset. + +"But why?" asked Max. + +"Because it's too cold. It will melt," said Mommy. + +Max was still upset. He saw some newspaper lying on the ground. + +"Can we melt the newspaper?" asked Max. + +"No," said Mommy. "Newspaper doesn't melt." + +Max was upset.

The colors were getting darker and the atmosphere was becoming scarier. + +Susie didn't know that this wild place was dangerous and it was getting darker. She wanted to keep exploring, feeling as brave as ever. Suddenly, she heard noises coming from close by and she became very scared. She tried to turn back, but she was surrounded by loud and frightening creatures. She was so terrified, she didn't know what to do. + +Susie had made a bad decision to join the wild place. She could not escape and the creatures surrounding her started to move closer. She was horrified to the point where she couldn't even scream. She knew that this was the end. The wild and colorful place she wanted to explore was the place she said her final goodbye. +Once upon a time there was a big purple house.

That rock looks too heavy for me too." + +Just then, Timmy had an idea. He took out his pack of gum and started chewing. "Maybe if I chew enough gum, I'll get strong enough to lift the rock!" he said. + +So, Timmy chewed and chewed until he had a big wad of gum in his mouth. He walked back over to the rock and tried again. To his surprise, he was able to lift it! Timmy and Johnny were so happy and proud of Timmy's strength.

Inside, there were many balloons of different shapes and sizes. Some were animals, some were stars, some were flowers. + +The vendor said they could each pick a balloon. Lily and Ben were very happy. They picked their favorite balloons and thanked the vendor again. They held their ice cream and their balloons and ran back to their mom. + +They showed their mom their ice cream and their balloons. Their mom was very proud of them for being polite and grateful. She hugged them and said they were very lucky. Lily and Ben agreed. They had a wonderful day at the park. +Lila was a little pig who liked to play in the mud. She had a big farm with many friends, like cows, chickens and sheep. She was happy when it was sunny, because she could roll and splash in the wet dirt. + +One day, it started to rain. Lila did not mind the rain. She thought it was fun to feel the water on her skin and see the drops fall from the sky. She ran out of her pen and jumped into a big puddle. She laughed and squealed with joy. + +But the other animals did not like the rain. They ran to their barns and shelters, where it was dry and warm. They looked at Lila and shook their heads. They thought she was foolish to stay outside in the cold and wet. They told her to come inside and be safe. + +Lila did not listen to them. She thought they were silly to hide from the rain. She said she was having fun and did not want to stop. She stayed in the puddle and played by herself. + +But soon, the rain became stronger and louder. It was not fun anymore. It was scary and hard. It hurt Lila's eyes and ears and nose. It made her shiver and sneeze and cough. She wanted to go inside, but she did not know how. She was lost and alone and sad. + +She cried for help, but no one heard her. She wished she had listened to her friends. She realized she was foolish to play in the rain. She hoped someone would find her and take her to the barn. She learned a lesson that day: sometimes, it is better to be safe than sorry. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with blocks. They would make tall stacks of blocks and see who could make the highest one. Anna was very good at stacking blocks, and she was proud of her skill. She would always say, "Look at my stack! It is the best! No one can make a stack like mine!" + +Ben was not as good at stacking blocks, but he still enjoyed playing with them. He would try to make his stack as high as Anna's, but sometimes his stack would fall down. He would feel sad, but he would not give up. He would say, "It's okay. I will try again. Maybe I can make a better stack next time." + +One day, they were playing with blocks in the park, when they saw a new boy. His name was Leo, and he had a big bag of blocks. He asked Anna and Ben if he could play with them. They said yes, and they showed him their stacks. Anna said, "Look at my stack! It is the best! No one can make a stack like mine!" Ben said, "Look at my stack! It is not as good as Anna's, but I am still happy. I like to play with blocks." + +Leo smiled and said, "Your stacks are very nice. Can I show you my stack?" He opened his bag and took out his blocks. He started to make a stack, but he did not make it very high. He only used a few blocks, and he left some space between them. He said, "This is my stack. It is not very high, but it is modest. I like to leave some space for the air and the sun. I think they are also part of the stack." + +Anna and Ben looked at Leo's stack. They thought it was strange and silly. They said, "That is not a stack! That is just a few blocks! How can you call that a stack? You should make it higher and tighter, like ours!" + +Leo said, "I like my stack the way it is. It is modest and simple. It does not need to be higher or tighter. It is enough for me." + +Anna and Ben did not understand Leo. They thought he was wrong and foolish. They said, "You are not good at stacking blocks. You are wasting your blocks. You should learn from us. We are better than you." + +Leo said, "I am not wasting my blocks. I am using them the way I like. You are not better than me. You are just different. We can all play with blocks in our own way." + +Anna and Ben did not listen to Leo. They laughed at him and his stack. They said, "You are silly and boring. We do not want to play with you. Go away and leave us alone." + +Leo felt hurt and sad. He said, "Okay. I will go away. But I hope you will learn to be kind and respectful. You should not judge others by their stacks. You should judge them by their hearts." + +He took his bag and his stack and walked away. Anna and Ben did not care. They went back to their stacks and tried to make them higher and higher. + +But then, a strong wind came and blew their stacks away. Their blocks scattered all over the park. They felt shocked and angry. They said, "Oh no! Our stacks are gone! How can this happen? We worked so hard to make them!" + +They looked around and saw Leo. He still had his stack. The wind did not blow it away, because it was modest and low. He saw Anna and Ben and felt sorry for them. He said, "I am sorry about your stacks. The wind was very strong. Do you want to play with me? I have some blocks left. We can share them and make new stacks together." + +Anna and Ben looked at Leo and his stack. They felt ashamed and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, too. We were mean and rude to you. We judged you by your stack, but we did not see your heart. You were kind and respectful to us, even when we were not to you. You are a good friend. Can you forgive us?" + +Leo smiled and said, "Of course I can forgive you. We all make mistakes. We can learn from them and be better. Come on, let's play together. We can make different stacks and have fun." + +Anna and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Leo. You are a good friend. Let's play together. We can make different stacks and have fun." + +They took Leo's blocks and joined him. They made new stacks, but they did not make them too high or too tight. They left some space for the air and the sun. They said, "These are our stacks. They are not the best, but they are modest +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make on her paper. One day, she wanted to try something new. She picked a blue crayon and made a line that went up and down, up and down, like a snake. She liked how it looked. She called it a zigzag. + +She showed her zigzag to her mom. Her mom smiled and said, "That's very unique, Lily. You are very creative." Lily felt happy. She wanted to make more zigzags with different colors. She made a red one, a yellow one, a green one, and a purple one. She filled her paper with zigzags. + +She showed her paper to her dad. Her dad clapped and said, "That's amazing, Lily. You are very talented." Lily felt proud. She wanted to share her zigzags with her friends. She called them on the phone and said, "Do you want to see my zigzags? They are very unique." Her friends said yes and came to her house. + +They looked at her paper and said, "Wow, Lily, your zigzags are very cool. Can you teach us how to make them?" Lily said yes and gave them some crayons. They all made zigzags on their papers. They had fun and laughed. They called themselves the zigzag club. They were very happy. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. They run to the tree and hug it. + +"Hello, tree!" Lila says. "You are so big and green. Can we play with you?" + +The tree does not say anything. But it moves its branches and makes a sound. It sounds like a laugh. + +"Hi, kids!" the tree says. "I am happy to see you. You are so cheerful and kind. Yes, you can play with me. But be careful. Do not hurt me or the birds and squirrels that live here." + +Lila and Tom are surprised. They did not know that the tree can talk. But they are not afraid. They are curious and happy. + +"Wow, tree!" Tom says. "You are amazing. How can you talk? And how do you know our names?" + +The tree smiles. It has a big mouth with no teeth. It says, "I can talk because I am a magic tree. I know your names because I hear you when you play. You are always nice to each other and to the animals and plants. That makes me happy. You are my friends." + +Lila and Tom smile too. They feel special and lucky. They say, "Thank you, tree. You are our friend too. We love you. Can we play with you every day?" + +The tree nods. It says, "Of course, you can. I will always be here for you. You can climb on me, swing on me, hide behind me, or just sit under me. But remember to part when it is time to go home. And come back soon. I will miss you." + +Lila and Tom hug the tree again. They say, "We will, tree. We will part, but not for long. And we will come back soon. You are the best tree ever." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are in Anna's room. Anna has a big box of clothes. She likes to wear different clothes and pretend to be someone else. + +"Look, Ben, I am a princess!" Anna says. She wears a red dress and a shiny crown. She twirls around and smiles. + +"You are pretty, Anna," Ben says. He wears a blue shirt and a green hat. He pretends to be a king. "Do you want to go to the castle with me?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna says. They hold hands and walk to the door. They pretend the door is a castle gate. They knock on the door and say, "Hello, we are the king and the queen. Can we come in?" + +Anna's mom opens the door. She smiles and says, "Of course, you can come in. You are very cute, Anna and Ben. Do you want a cookie?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They love cookies. Anna's mom gives them each a cookie. They say, "Thank you, mom!" + +They sit on the floor and eat their cookies. They are happy. They like to play and pretend. They are good friends. +Sara and Tom are playing in the sand. They have a big bucket and a small shovel. They want to make a sand castle. They fill the bucket with sand and turn it over. They make a tower. + +"Look, our castle is very big!" Sara says. + +"Yes, it is. But it needs a door and a window," Tom says. + +They use the shovel to make a door and a window. They are happy with their castle. + +Then they see a shiny thing in the sand. It is a necklace. It has many beads of different colors. It is very pretty. + +"Wow, what is this?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a treasure. Maybe someone rich lost it," Tom says. + +"Can we keep it?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, why not? It is ours now. We found it," Tom says. + +They put the necklace around Sara's neck. She feels like a princess. + +"Let's bury it in the sand. Then no one can take it from us," Tom says. + +"Okay, good idea. But we have to remember where we bury it," Sara says. + +They dig a hole in the sand near their castle. They put the necklace in the hole. They cover it with sand. They make a mark with a stick. + +"There, now it is safe. We can come back later and get it," Tom says. + +They smile at each other. They are happy with their treasure. They go back to playing with their castle. They don't see the big wave coming. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find shiny things. Sometimes they found rocks, sometimes they found coins, sometimes they found worms. They called the shiny things minerals. + +One day, they found a big, round, green mineral. It was very heavy and very smelly. Tom and Mia wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it is a dinosaur egg," Tom said. + +"Maybe it is a ball," Mia said. + +They decided to roll it and see what happened. They pushed and pushed and pushed. The mineral rolled down the hill and hit a tree. Then it cracked open. + +Out came a small, furry, brown animal. It had big ears, a long tail, and sharp teeth. It looked at Tom and Mia and roared. + +"Rawr! Rawr! Rawr!" + +Tom and Mia were scared. They ran away from the animal. They hid behind a bush. + +"What is that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know," Mia said. "But it is not a dinosaur or a ball. It is a bad, smelly, roaring animal." + +They waited until the animal went away. Then they ran back to their house. They told their mom what they saw. + +Their mom smiled and said, "That was a skunk. It is not a bad animal, but it can spray a smelly liquid when it is scared. You should not touch it or roll it. You should leave it alone." + +Tom and Mia nodded. They learned something new. They decided to play with something else. They did not want to find any more smelly minerals. +Tommy liked to spend time in the garden. He liked to look at the flowers, the bugs and the birds. He did not like the spider that lived in the corner of the fence. The spider was big and black and had many legs. Tommy was scared of the spider. + +One day, Tommy saw a broken toy car in the garden. He wanted to play with it. He picked it up and looked at it. It was red and shiny, but one of the wheels was missing. Tommy wondered if he could fix it. He looked around for something to use as a wheel. + +He saw a bottle cap on the ground. He thought it would make a good wheel. He tried to put it on the toy car, but it did not fit. He needed something to stick it with. He looked around for something sticky. + +He saw the spider web in the corner of the fence. He thought it would be sticky. He walked towards the spider web, holding the toy car and the bottle cap. He did not see the spider. + +The spider saw Tommy. The spider did not like Tommy. The spider thought Tommy wanted to take his web. The spider was angry. He crawled out of his web and waited for Tommy. + +"Hi, Tommy," said a voice behind him. Tommy turned around and saw his friend Lily. Lily liked to play in the garden too. She had a doll in her hand. "What are you doing?" she asked. + +"I'm trying to fix this car," Tommy said. "I need something sticky." + +Lily looked at the car and the bottle cap. She looked at the spider web. She saw the spider. She gasped. "Tommy, watch out!" she shouted. "There's a spider!" + +Tommy looked at the spider. He screamed. He dropped the car and the bottle cap. He ran away from the spider. The spider ran after him. + +Lily picked up the car and the bottle cap. She had an idea. She used the doll's hair to tie the bottle cap to the car. She made a new wheel. She smiled. She ran after Tommy and the spider. She threw the car at the spider. The car hit the spider and knocked him down. The spider was stunned. + +"Tommy, look!" Lily said. "I fixed the car!" + +Tommy stopped running. He looked at the car. He looked at the spider. He saw that the spider was not moving. He was not scared anymore. He smiled. He ran back to Lily. He hugged her. "Thank you, Lily!" he said. "You are a good friend!" + +Lily hugged him back. "You're welcome, Tommy!" she said. "You are a good friend too!" + +They picked up the car and the doll. They played with them in the garden. They did not mind the spider. The spider did not mind them. He crawled back to his web. He was glad they left him alone. He was not angry anymore. He was sleepy. He took a nap. +Lisa and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, Lisa saw a brilliant purse in a shop window. It was pink and shiny and had a big bow on it. She wanted it very much. + +"Look, Tom, look at that purse!" Lisa said. "It is so pretty. I wish I had it." + +Tom looked at the purse. He did not think it was pretty. He thought it was silly. He liked cars and balls and trucks. He did not like purses. + +"Who needs a purse?" Tom said. "Purses are for girls. They are boring. Let's go play on the slide." + +Lisa felt sad. She did not want to play on the slide. She wanted the purse. She did not say anything. She followed Tom to the slide. + +The next day, Lisa and Tom went to the park again. Lisa still wanted the purse. She hoped Tom would not mention it. She hoped he would forget. But Tom did not forget. He saw the purse again in the shop window. + +"Hey, Lisa, look at that purse!" Tom said. "It is still there. Nobody wants it. It is ugly. You should not want it either." + +Lisa felt angry. She did not like Tom's words. She did not like Tom's tone. She did not like Tom. + +"Tom, you are mean!" Lisa said. "You are not my friend. You do not care about what I like. You only care about what you like. I do not want to play with you anymore." + +Lisa ran away from Tom. She ran to the shop. She wanted the purse. She did not care about anything else. She did not see the big sign that said "Do not touch". She did not see the shopkeeper who was watching. She did not see the car that was speeding on the road. She only saw the purse. + +She reached for the purse. She grabbed it. She pulled it. She smiled. + +But then, everything went wrong. + +The purse was attached to a string. The string was attached to a bell. The bell was attached to an alarm. The alarm was loud. It made a lot of noise. It scared Lisa. It scared the shopkeeper. It scared the driver. + +The shopkeeper came out of the shop. He was angry. He shouted at Lisa. He wanted the purse back. He wanted Lisa to go away. + +The driver heard the alarm. He was distracted. He did not see Lisa. He did not see the red light. He did not stop. + +Lisa heard the shopkeeper. She was afraid. She wanted to run away. She wanted to go back to Tom. She wanted to say sorry. + +But it was too late. + +The car hit Lisa. Lisa fell down. Lisa did not get up. + +The purse flew out of Lisa's hand. It landed on the sidewalk. It was pink and shiny and had a big bow on it. + +But it was not pretty anymore. + +It was covered in blood. +Mia loves to sing. She sings in the morning, she sings in the afternoon, she sings at night. She sings to her toys, she sings to her mom, she sings to her dad. She sings when she is happy, she sings when she is sad, she sings when she is bored. + +One day, Mia finds a gear in the garage. It is big and round and shiny. She wonders what it is for. She asks her dad, "Dad, what is this?" + +Dad smiles and says, "That is a gear, Mia. It is part of a machine. It helps the machine move and work." + +Mia is curious. She says, "Can I sing to it?" + +Dad laughs and says, "Sure, you can sing to it. Maybe it will like your song." + +Mia takes the gear to her room. She puts it on her bed. She makes a comfortable nest for it with her pillows and blankets. She sings to it a song she made up. She sings about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the gear. She sings softly and sweetly. + +The gear listens to Mia's song. It feels warm and cozy. It likes Mia's voice. It thinks Mia is a nice friend. It makes a small sound, like a hum. Mia hears it and smiles. She says, "Hello, gear. I'm glad you like my song. Do you want to sing with me?" + +The gear hums again. It says, "Yes, Mia. I want to sing with you. You make me happy." + +Mia and the gear sing together. They have fun. They are comfortable. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. They open the box and see many things inside. There are hats and dresses and shoes and ties. Anna and Ben want to try them on. + +"Look, I am a princess!" Anna says. She puts on a pink dress and a crown. She spins around and smiles. + +"And I am a prince!" Ben says. He puts on a blue suit and a hat. He bows to Anna and says, "Will you marry me, princess?" + +"Yes, I will, prince!" Anna says. She takes Ben's hand and they walk to a bench. They pretend it is a church. They say, "I do, I do, I do!" + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is hungry. He sees the box and smells the things inside. He runs to the box and starts to bite and tear the things. He makes a big mess. + +Anna and Ben are upset. They see the dog ruining their things. They shout, "No, no, no! Go away, dog! Leave our things alone!" + +The dog hears them and looks at them. He barks and runs to them. He wants to play. But Anna and Ben are scared. They run away from the dog. They trip and fall on the ground. They hurt their knees and elbows. They cry. + +A lady sees them. She is the dog's owner. She calls the dog and puts a leash on him. She says, "I'm sorry, kids. He didn't mean to hurt you. He is a good dog, but he is very curious. He likes to explore new things." + +She helps Anna and Ben get up. She takes them to a fountain. She washes their wounds and puts bandages on them. She says, "There, there. You'll be okay. Do you want a hug?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They hug the lady and the dog. They say, "Thank you, lady. Thank you, dog. We are sorry we yelled at you. We were just playing." + +The lady smiles. She says, "It's okay, kids. I understand. You were having fun. But next time, be careful with your things. And don't run from dogs. They might think you want to play more." + +Anna and Ben say, "Okay, lady. We will. And we will share our things with the dog. He can be our friend, too." + +The lady says, "That's very nice of you, kids. You are very kind. And you are very cute. You look like a princess and a prince." + +Anna and Ben giggle. They say, "We are, lady. We are. We just got married." +One day, a thin raven was flying in the sky. He was very hungry and wanted to find some food. He saw a big farm with many animals and crops. He thought, maybe I can find something to eat there. + +He flew down and landed on a fence. He looked around and saw a hen with her chicks. They were eating some corn that the farmer had given them. The raven thought, maybe I can take some corn from them. He said to the hen, "Hello, hen. You have many chicks and much corn. Can you share some with me? I am very hungry." + +The hen looked at the raven and said, "No, raven. This corn is for me and my chicks. We need it to grow strong and healthy. You cannot have any. Go away and find your own food." + +The raven was angry and said, "You are mean, hen. You have more than you need. I will take some corn anyway." He flew towards the corn and tried to grab some with his beak. + +But the hen was ready. She had seen the raven coming and had prepared to defend her corn. She flapped her wings and pecked at the raven. She said, "Go away, raven. This is my corn. You cannot have any. You are a thief and a liar." + +The raven was scared and hurt. He flew away and said, "You are a bad hen. You are selfish and rude. I will find another farm and another food." + +He flew away and looked for another place to eat. He was still hungry and sad. He wished he had been nicer to the hen and asked her politely for some corn. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that it is better to be kind and honest than to be greedy and sneaky. +Jill was a spoiled girl who always wanted to have her way. She had many toys and clothes, but she did not like to share them with anyone. She did not have many friends, because she was mean and bossy. + +One day, she saw a new girl in her class, who had a pretty dress and a shiny necklace. Jill wanted to have them, so she decided to invite the new girl to her house after school. She thought she could trick the new girl and take her things. + +The new girl, whose name was Anna, was happy to go with Jill. She did not know that Jill was spoiled and selfish. She thought Jill wanted to be her friend. She liked to walk and talk with Jill on the way to her house. + +When they got to Jill's house, Jill showed Anna her room. She had many toys and clothes, but she did not let Anna touch any of them. She said they were only for her. She asked Anna to show her her dress and necklace. Anna was nice and did what Jill asked. + +But Jill had a bad plan. She grabbed Anna's dress and necklace and tried to take them away from her. She said they were hers now. Anna was shocked and scared. She tried to get her things back, but Jill was stronger and meaner. She pushed Anna to the floor and ran away with her dress and necklace. + +Anna cried and cried. She did not know what to do. She did not have any other clothes to wear. She did not have a phone to call her mom. She did not know where she was. She was alone and sad. + +Jill was a spoiled girl who did a bad thing. She did not invite Anna to be her friend. She invited Anna to be her victim. She did not know how to be nice and share. She only knew how to be greedy and cruel. She did not have any friends, and she never would. +Anna loves fashion. She likes to dress up in different clothes and shoes. She has a big box of fashion in her room. She can find hats, scarves, dresses, skirts, pants, shirts, and more in her box. + +One day, Anna wants to show her fashion to her friend Lily. She invites Lily to come to her house and play. Lily says yes and comes over. Anna is very excited. She opens her box and says, "Look at all my fashion! You can choose what you want to wear. We can be models!" + +Lily smiles and looks at the box. She sees many colors and patterns. She picks a pink dress with flowers and a yellow hat. Anna picks a blue skirt with stars and a red scarf. They put on their clothes and shoes. They look at each other and laugh. They are very pretty. + +They go to the living room and find a big mirror. They stand in front of the mirror and pose. They make funny faces and say, "Cheese!" They pretend to be on a runway and walk back and forth. They clap and cheer for each other. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is raining outside. The rain is very heavy and makes a lot of noise. They look out the window and see water everywhere. They see puddles and drops and clouds. They feel sad. They cannot go outside and play. They have to stay inside and be dry. + +Anna has an idea. She says, "Don't be sad, Lily. We can still play with fashion. We can make rain fashion!" She runs to her box and finds some rain clothes. She finds a raincoat, a rain hat, and rain boots. She gives them to Lily and says, "Here, try these on. They are very colorful and fun. They will keep you dry and warm." + +Lily smiles and takes the clothes. She puts them on and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. I like your rain fashion. You are very smart." Anna says, "You're welcome, Lily. You are very sweet. I like your rain fashion too. You are very cute." They hug and giggle. + +They go back to the mirror and look at themselves. They are very happy. They are still models. They are rain models. They excite each other with their fashion. They forget about the rain and have more fun. They are best friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big screw on the floor. It is shiny and hard. + +"Look, a screw!" Tom says. "Let's use it for our cars." + +"Good idea!" Sam says. "We can make them go faster." + +They take the screw and put it on one of the cars. They push the car on the floor. It makes a loud noise. + +"Vroom, vroom!" Tom and Sam say. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the screw on the car. She is angry. + +"Who put this screw on the car?" Mom asks. "This is not a toy. This is dangerous. You could hurt yourself or break the car." + +Tom and Sam are scared. They look at each other. They do not know what to say. + +"I did it, Mom," Tom says. He feels bad. He does not want Mom to be mad at Sam. + +"Why did you do it, Tom?" Mom asks. "You know better than that. You should not play with things that are not toys." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Tom says. "I wanted to make the car different. I wanted to make it go faster. I did not know it was dangerous." + +Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not very mad. She knows Tom is a good boy. He just made a mistake. + +"It's okay, Tom," Mom says. "I'm glad you told me the truth. But you have to be more careful. Screws are not for playing. They are for fixing things. And you don't need to make your car different. It is fine the way it is. You can have fun with it without changing it." + +Tom nods. He understands. He feels sorry for what he did. He also feels embarrassed. He thinks Sam will laugh at him. + +But Sam does not laugh. He is a good friend. He gives Tom a hug. + +"It's okay, Tom," Sam says. "I like your car. It is different, but in a good way. You are different, too. But in a good way. You are brave and honest. You are my friend." + +Tom smiles. He feels better. He thanks Sam. He also thanks Mom. He gives her the screw. He says he will not play with it again. + +Mom smiles, too. She is proud of Tom. She is also glad he has a good friend like Sam. She tells them they can keep playing with their cars. But only with safe toys. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They play with their cars. They make them go fast. But not with screws. They use their imagination. They have fun. They are friends. +Tim and Kim like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving on the road. + +One day, they decide to play on the lawn. The lawn is green and soft and has many flowers. They put their cars on the grass and start to move them around. They have fun making turns and honking. + +But then, Tim sees a big rock on the lawn. He thinks it would be fun to drive his car over the rock. He pushes his car hard and makes it go fast. He tries to climb the rock, but his car gets stuck. He pulls and pulls, but his car does not move. + +Kim sees Tim's car on the rock. She feels sorry for him. She has a generous idea. She takes her car and drives it to the rock. She puts her car behind Tim's car and says, "I will help you. I will push your car with my car. You reverse your car and I will push." + +Tim likes Kim's idea. He says, "Thank you, Kim. You are very kind. I will reverse my car and you will push." He moves his car backwards and Kim moves her car forwards. Together, they make Tim's car go off the rock and back on the lawn. + +Tim and Kim are happy. They hug each other and say, "We are good friends. We help each other. We can play more on the lawn."
