As soon as she did, though, she made a face. It was not very nice! + +Lucy's mom noticed and came to her. "What have you got there, sweetheart?" she asked. Lucy showed the vegetable to her mom and said, "I don't like it, it tastes yucky!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's ok, sweetheart. Just because it doesn't taste nice doesn't mean we should give up. We should be persistent. Let's try one more time and see if it tastes better with another vegetable." + +So Mom and Lucy went to the kitchen and tried the same vegetable with another vegetable. When they were done, Lucy smiled. The two vegetables together tasted better. + +Lucy's mom hugged her and said, "See? Being persistent can help us find something we do like." + +Lucy smiled and said, "I will always be persistent!" + +The end. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Jack and Jill.

That oak tree had two pieces of candy on it, and that made both Jack and Jill tremble with excitement! + +But Jill was so envious of Jack that she refused to share the candy. She told Jack to leave or she would not allow him to have any of it. + +Jack was so sad that he began to tremble. He said to Jill, "Please, can't we share? We can take turns and each have one piece." + +But Jill wouldn't listen. She kept refusing and told Jack to leave. Tears rolled down his cheeks, and he sadly walked away from that beautiful oak tree. +Once, there was a baby bird who wanted to find her own cozy nest. She looked high and low, but couldn't find one. She asked a nearby bird, "Can you help me find a nest?" The bird replied, "Yes, but only if you can crawl." + +So, the baby bird crawled and crawled until she found a colorful nest. It was perfect and snuggly—just what she wanted! + +She thanked the other bird and crawled inside. The baby bird felt so content and happy in her new home. + +Suddenly, she heard a voice. "Hey there! I'm your neighbor, Mr. Greenbird. Welcome to the neighborhood!" She hopped out of her nest and said hello. + +From then on, she and Mr. Greenbird were wonderful friends. They'd chat, take strolls and look for bugs together. + +The baby bird was so glad she'd found her wonderful, colorful nest home. +Once, there was a fat page who left the castle to take an important message to the king. He had to travel a long way, carrying the message with him at all times. + +As he made his way through the forest, he felt something was not quite right. He heard a strange noise coming from a nearby bush, and he stopped to investigate. Suddenly, a huge and scary monster jumped out from behind the bush, scaring him and making him drop the message to the king. + +The page ran away as fast as he could. On the way, he hoped the monster won’t catch him. After he was safely out of the forest, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued his journey. + +Finally, he arrived at the king’s castle. He was exhausted, but he made sure to deliver the message. + +The page was happy and relieved. He completed his job, and the whole kingdom was saved. +Once there was a boy. He liked to catch marbles.

The old man said, "Follow me, I know where to find marbles". + +The boy followed and soon found a lot of marbles. He started catching them and collecting them. The wise old man said, "Be careful and follow me". + +But the boy didn't listen. He kept catching marbles and soon got lost. He tried calling out for help, but nobody came. All the marbles were gone, and the boy was lost. + +He never found his way home. +One day a little boy was walking in the park with his mum. He saw a lemon tree and was so excited he ran up to it. + +“Mummy, Look! Lemon!†+ +His mum smiled, “Yes sweetheart, they're lemons. Do you want one?†+ +“Mmm!†The boy nodded eagerly. + +His mum plucked a lemon off the tree and gave it to him. He thanked her and couldn’t wait to taste it.

It helps us stay connected." + +Tommy's face lit up in understanding. +The two kept walking until they reached the bakery. + +"Let's get something delicious to eat," Tommy's mom said as she opened the door. + +Tommy wanted a cookie but his mom said that if he wanted a bigger treat, he would have to wait until they got home. + +Tommy thought about it and decided that maybe waiting was better. + +The moral of the story is that patience can make the reward even better. Sometimes waiting a bit longer can give us something much more satisfying than if we had given in to our cravings right away. +Bobby and Max were walking in the park. Bobby was so excited and wanted to run around and explore. + +Max said, “Let’s go look at the ducks! It’s so fun to watch them swim.†So Bobby and Max went to the lake and saw lots of ducks.

I hate it. It has a long neck. It looks like a snake. I am scared of snakes." + +Ben said, "It is not a snake, Lily. It is a bird. It has wings and feathers. It can fly. Snakes cannot fly. Do not be scared, Lily. It is a nice bird." + +Lily said, "No, Ben, it is not nice. It is mean. It can bite us. It can hurt us. I want it to go away. I want it to be dead." + +Ben said, "Lily, that is not nice. You should not say that. You should not want things to be dead. That is bad. The bird is alive. It has a heart and a soul. It has feelings. It can be happy and sad. It can be our friend." + +Lily said, "No, Ben, it cannot be our friend. It is our enemy. It is a monster. I do not like it. I do not want to play with it. I want to play with you. Come, Ben, let us go. Let us leave the bird alone." + +Ben said, "Okay, Lily, let us go. But I still like the bird. I think it is pretty. Maybe one day you will like it too. Maybe one day you will not hate it. Maybe one day you will see that it is not a monster. It is just a bird." +Lily was going to visit her grandma for the weekend.

He is very excited, too." + +Lily felt happy and relieved. She thanked her mom and ran to the car. She saw her teddy bear sitting on the seat, with his brown fur and black eyes.

Lily says, holding up her doll and swinging it in the air. + +"That's not flying, that's silly!" Max says, driving his car towards Lily's doll.

My car can go vroom vroom and beep beep!" Max says, chasing Lily's doll with his car. + +Lily and Max start to argue and tug on the blue cord. The cord snaps and breaks in two.

He is proud. + +Mom shakes her head. She does not think Max is smart. She thinks he is rude. + +"Max, you are not smart. You are rude. You do not grab things from others. You do not push others.

"No, Mommy, what do they do?" + +Mommy said, "Owls are very smart and brave. They fly around and look for food. They can see very well in the dark. And they make a special sound, like this: hoo-hoo." + +Lily tried to make the sound, too. "Hoo-hoo," she said, giggling. + +Mommy said, "That's right, hoo-hoo. Maybe the owl will hear you and say hello. But it's getting late, Lily. We should go inside and get ready for bed." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Good night, owl. Hoo-hoo." + +Mommy and Lily went inside and wrapped themselves in a warm blanket. They read a story and said their prayers. Then they turned off the light and closed their eyes. + +As they drifted to sleep, they heard a soft sound from outside. It was the owl, saying, "Hoo-hoo." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big cart in the garage. It was enormous, bigger than their beds. They decided to use it for their games. + +"Let's pretend we are going to the market," Lily said. "You can be the driver and I can be the shopper." + +"OK," Ben agreed. He climbed on the cart and took the handle. Lily put some of her dolls and stuffed animals on the cart. They were the things she wanted to buy. + +They started to roll the cart along the driveway. It was hard to move, but they had fun. They made noises like a car and a horn. + +"Beep beep! Here we are at the market," Ben announced. He stopped the cart and waited for Lily. + +Lily jumped off the cart and looked at her toys. She picked one of them and handed it to Ben. + +"How much is this?" she asked. + +"Five dollars," Ben said. + +"Five dollars? That's too much!" Lily complained. "I only have two dollars." + +"Sorry, that's the price," Ben said. He did not want to lower it. + +Lily frowned and put the toy back. She picked another one and asked the same question. + +"Ten dollars," Ben said. + +"Ten dollars? That's even more!" Lily complained. "You are not fair. You are asking too much for everything." + +Ben shrugged and said, "Take it or leave it." + +Lily got angry and said, "Fine, I will leave it. And I will leave you too. You are a bad driver and a bad seller. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +She stormed off and left Ben alone with the cart and the toys. + +Ben felt sad and lonely. He realized he had been greedy and mean. He wished he had been nicer to Lily and given her a good deal. He wanted to make up with her and play again. + +He got off the cart and ran after Lily. He found her sitting on the grass, crying. + +"Lily, I'm sorry," he said. "I was wrong. You can have any toy you want for free. Please, don't be mad at me. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily looked up and saw Ben's sorry face. She felt sorry too. She knew he was her brother and he loved her. + +She wiped her tears and said, "OK, Ben. I'm sorry too. I was rude and bossy. You can keep some of the money. Let's share and be fair. Can we play again?" + +Ben smiled and hugged Lily. He said, "Yes, let's play again. You are my sister and I love you." + +They went back to the cart and picked their favorite toys. They paid each other with hugs and kisses. They had fun and learned a lesson. They learned that complaining and being greedy are not good. They learned that sharing and being kind are better. They learned that playing together is the best. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. Then they ran after it and laughed. + +One day, they saw a big dog near the ball. The dog was black and brown and had a long tail. It looked at the ball and wagged its tail. Ben and Lily were scared of the dog. They did not know if it was friendly or mean. They stopped playing and hid behind a tree. + +"Who is that dog?" Ben whispered to Lily. + +"I don't know. Maybe it belongs to someone," Lily whispered back. + +"Maybe it wants to play with our ball," Ben said. + +"Or maybe it wants to bite us," Lily said. + +They watched the dog from behind the tree. The dog sniffed the ball and picked it up with its mouth. Then it ran towards them, barking. Ben and Lily screamed and ran away. They thought the dog was chasing them. + +But the dog was not mean. It was friendly. It wanted to play with Ben and Lily. It dropped the ball near them and wagged its tail. It licked their faces and nuzzled their hands. Ben and Lily stopped screaming and realized the dog was nice. They petted the dog and smiled. + +"Hi, dog. You are not mean. You are friendly," Ben said. + +"Yes, you are. You are a good dog," Lily said. + +They threw the ball again and the dog ran after it. They played together and had fun. Ben and Lily admired the dog. They thought it was brave and strong and smart. They wished they could keep the dog. + +"Can we keep the dog, please?" Ben asked Lily. + +"I don't know.

They are happy." Sue says, "That sounds nice. I want to marry you." + +Tom and Sue hug and kiss. They say, "We are married now." They run to the west. The west is where the sun goes down. They see the sun make the sky orange and pink and purple. They say, "Wow, the west is beautiful. We are happy." They hold hands and smile. They are married. +Sam and Lily were playing in their room with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals or cars or superheroes. They had a lot of fun together. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud boom outside. It was thunder. They looked out the window and saw dark clouds and rain. They felt scared. They ran to their mom and dad in the living room. + +"Mom, Dad, what is that?" Sam asked. + +"That is thunder, Sam. It is the sound of the clouds crashing together. Sometimes it happens when it rains. It is nothing to be afraid of," Mom said. + +"But it is so loud and scary," Lily said. + +"I know, Lily. But it is also very beautiful and powerful. And it helps the plants and the animals grow. Do you want to see something amazing?" Dad said. + +"What is it, Dad?" Sam and Lily said. + +Dad opened the curtains and pointed to the sky. There was a bright flash of light. It was lightning. It made a zigzag shape across the clouds. Then another boom of thunder. + +"Wow!" Sam and Lily said. + +"That is lightning, Sam and Lily. It is the spark of the clouds. Sometimes it happens with thunder. It is very rare and special to see. You are very lucky," Dad said. + +"Really, Dad?" Sam and Lily said. + +"Yes, really. You are lucky to have each other, to have us, and to have this beautiful world. And you know what? Thunder and lightning can't hurt you if you are inside and safe. They are just part of nature's show. Do you want to watch some more?" Dad said. + +"Yes, please, Dad!" Sam and Lily said. + +They cuddled with their mom and dad on the couch and watched the thunder and lightning. They felt less scared and more curious. They learned new things and asked questions. They thanked the clouds for the rain and the light. They felt lucky. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big kite in the sky. It is red and blue and yellow. It flies high and fast. + +"Wow, look at that kite!" Sam says. "It is so pretty and fun!" + +"I want a kite too," Ben says. "But I do not have one." + +Sam thinks for a moment. He has an idea.

How do we make a kite?" + +Sam says, "We need some paper, some sticks, some string, and some tape. Come on, let's go to my house. I have these things." + +They run to Sam's house. They find the things they need. They cut the paper into a diamond shape. They tape the sticks across the paper. They tie the string to the sticks. They make a tail with some ribbons. They are very happy with their kite. + +They go back outside. They find a big field. They hold the string and run with the kite. The wind lifts the kite up. It flies in the sky.

He has to be careful with his laptop and papers." + +Sara and Ben nod, but they soon forget. They start to make vroom and beep sounds with their cars. They pretend to crash and honk at each other. + +"Vroom, vroom, watch out!" Ben says. + +"Beep, beep, move over!" Sara says. + +They laugh and giggle, but they also get closer and closer to the table. + +Dad is typing on his laptop. He does not see Sara and Ben. He is busy and worried. He has to manage his time and his work. He has to send his report by email soon. + +Suddenly, Sara bumps into the table leg. The table shakes and wobbles. Dad's laptop slides and falls on the floor.

Tom falls and cries too. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Sam shout. But no one hears them. The dog takes the ball and runs away. Tom and Sam are hurt and alone. They wish they did not play catch in the park. They wish they stayed home. The end. +Lily was sick. She had a fever and a cough. She felt weak and sad. She wanted to play with her toys, but she had no energy. + +Her mom took her to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He checked Lily's ears, nose, and throat. He said Lily had a cold. He gave her some medicine and a sticker. + +The doctor also gave Lily's mom a supply of tissues and water. He said Lily needed to drink a lot and blow her nose often. He said Lily would get better soon. + +Lily and her mom went home. Lily's mom made her a cozy bed on the couch. She gave her a blanket, a pillow, and a teddy bear. She also gave her the tissues, the water, and the medicine. + +Lily's mom was a nurse. She knew how to take care of sick people. She kissed Lily's forehead and said, "I love you, my sweet girl. You are very brave. I will be here for you." + +Lily smiled. She felt a little better. She hugged her teddy bear and said, "I love you, Mommy. You are the best nurse. Thank you for the supply." +Sara and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. They saw a big rug on the floor. It had many colors and patterns. + +"Maybe there is something under the rug," Sara said. "Let's lift it and see." + +They moved the rug and found a small box. It was shiny and had a lock on it. + +"Wow, this looks expensive," Ben said. "I wonder what is inside." + +They tried to open the box, but it was too hard. They needed a key to unlock it. + +"Maybe we can find the key somewhere," Sara said. "Let's look around." + +They searched the room, but they could not find the key. They looked under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the drawers. They were about to give up when they heard a voice. + +"What are you two doing?" It was Mom. She came into the living room and saw the mess. She also saw the box and the rug. + +"Oh, no, that's my jewelry box," Mom said. "It's very expensive and special. You shouldn't touch it." + +She picked up the box and the rug and put them back in their place. She also had a key in her hand. + +"Where did you find the key, Mom?" Sara asked. + +"It was in my pocket," Mom said. "I always keep it with me. This box has a lot of things that are important to me. They are not toys for you to play with." + +Sara and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry or sad. + +"We're sorry, Mom," they said. "We were just playing. We didn't know it was your box." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"It's okay, I know you were curious," she said. "But you have to be careful with other people's things. They might have a special meaning or value. Next time, ask me before you touch something that is not yours." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They said they loved Mom and asked her to show them what was in the box. Mom agreed and unlocked the box. She showed them some of her jewelry and told them stories about them. Sara and Ben listened and admired. They were happy to share a moment with Mom. +Anna and Ben are twins. They share a big bed in their room. Every night, their mom reads them a story before they sleep. + +One night, Anna and Ben are not sleepy. They want to play with their toys and talk to each other. Mom says, "It is time to sleep, my loves. The moon and the stars are out. The animals are sleeping too. You need to rest and dream." + +But Anna and Ben do not listen. They whisper and giggle and toss and turn. Mom says, "Shh, be quiet. You will wake up dad and the baby. You will be tired tomorrow. Please sleep now." + +Anna and Ben still do not listen. They think mom is gone. They get out of bed and turn on the light. They grab their dolls and cars and make a lot of noise. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud knock on the door. It is dad. He looks angry. He says, "What are you doing? It is night. You should be sleeping. You are making too much noise. Go back to bed right now." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They say, "Sorry, dad. We are sorry, mom. We will sleep now. We will be good." + +They put away their toys and turn off the light. They crawl into their big bed and hug each other. They close their eyes and say, "Good night, mom. Good night, dad. Good night, moon and stars and animals. We love you." + +They fall asleep and have sweet dreams. Mom and dad smile and kiss them good night. They are proud of their twins. They hope they will sleep well. They say, "Good night, Anna. Good night, Ben. We love you too." +Anna liked to help her mom make dinner. She liked to stir the sauce and watch the water boil. But her favorite part was to cut the spaghetti. She used a big knife that was very sharp. She felt like a big girl when she cut the spaghetti. + +One day, Anna wanted to cut the spaghetti by herself. She did not wait for her mom to come. She took the knife and the spaghetti and went to the table. She tried to cut the spaghetti, but it was too hard. She pushed the knife harder and harder, but the spaghetti did not cut. She got upset and angry. She threw the knife and the spaghetti on the floor. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess on the floor and the knife. She was scared and mad. She yelled at Anna and told her to go to her room. She said Anna could not cut the spaghetti anymore. She said Anna could get hurt with the knife. She said Anna was a bad girl. + +Anna ran to her room and cried. She felt sorry and sad. She did not mean to make a mess. She did not mean to make mom scared and mad. She just wanted to cut the spaghetti. She wished she could say sorry to mom and hug her. She wished she could have dinner with mom and eat the spaghetti. She wished she could be a good girl. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play games together. Sometimes they play tag, sometimes they play hide and seek, sometimes they play with blocks. They have fun, but they also want to win. They are competitive. + +One day, Lily has a new game. It is a puzzle. She invites Ben to play with her. She says, "Ben, do you want to play with my puzzle? It is big and colorful. It has many pieces. We can see who can finish it first." + +Ben likes puzzles. He says, "Yes, Lily, I want to play with your puzzle. I am good at puzzles. I can find the right pieces. I will finish it before you." + +They start to play with the puzzle. They look for the pieces that match. They try to fit them together. They work fast and hard. They do not talk much. They only look at the puzzle and at each other. They want to see who is faster. + +After a while, they both have only one piece left. They look for the empty spot on the puzzle. They see that it is the same spot. They have the same piece. They both reach for it. They both grab it. They both pull it. They both say, "It is mine! I will finish the puzzle! I will win!" + +They tug and tug. They do not let go. They do not share. They do not listen. They only want to win. They are competitive. + +The piece breaks. It tears in half. They both drop it. They both look at it. They both look at the puzzle. They both look at each other. They both feel sad. They both say, "Oh no! We broke the puzzle! We did not finish it! We did not win!" + +They sit on the floor. They do not play. They do not talk. They do not smile. They are not friends. They are competitive. +Lily was playing in her room with her dolls. She liked to make them talk and dress them up. She had a big sheet that she used as a blanket or a tent. She was having fun until her brother Ben came in. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Ben asked. He saw the sheet and wanted to play with it. + +"I'm playing with my dolls. Go away!" Lily said. She did not like to share her sheet. + +"Can I play with you?" Ben asked. He tried to grab the sheet. + +"No, you can't. This is my sheet. Mom gave it to me. You have your own toys." Lily said. She pulled the sheet back. + +Ben was angry. He did not like to be told no. He pushed Lily and took the sheet. He ran out of the room with it. + +Lily was sad. She cried and followed Ben. She wanted her sheet back. She saw Ben go into the living room. He threw the sheet over the couch and made a fort. + +"Hey, that's my sheet!" Lily shouted. She tried to get into the fort. + +"Go away, this is my fort. You can't come in." Ben said. He blocked the entrance. + +Lily was mad. She kicked the fort and made it fall. The sheet came off the couch and landed on the floor. Ben and Lily both grabbed it and pulled. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the sheet and the mess. + +"What are you doing with the sheet? You are not allowed to fight over it. It is for sleeping, not for playing." Mom said. She took the sheet from them. + +"But Mom, it's my sheet. He took it from me." Lily said. + +"But Mom, I wanted to play with it. She wouldn't let me." Ben said. + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy. She did not like to see them fight. + +"Listen, you both need to share and be nice. The sheet is not yours or his. It is ours. We use it when we are cold or when we want to cuddle. It is not a toy. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry. They did not want to make Mom angry. + +"Good. Now, say sorry to each other and give each other a hug." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben said sorry and hugged. They felt better. They did not want to fight anymore. + +"Can we still play with the sheet, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Only if you play nicely and together. And only for a little while. Then you have to fold it and put it back on the bed." Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. Thank you." Lily and Ben said. + +They took the sheet and went back to Lily's room. They made a tent and invited their dolls. They played happily and quietly. They did not know that Mom had a smile on her face. She was glad that they learned to share and be nice. She loved them very much. +Ben and Mia love to play with their rocket. It is red and shiny and makes a loud noise when they press a button. They like to pretend they are going to the moon or to another planet. + +One day, they take their rocket outside to the garden. They want to see how high it can fly. They put it on the grass and press the button. The rocket zooms up in the air and makes a big whoosh sound. Ben and Mia clap and cheer. + +But then, something bad happens. The rocket does not come back down. It flies over the fence and into the neighbor's yard. Ben and Mia run to the fence and look. They see their rocket in the neighbor's pool. It is soaking wet and does not make any noise. + +"Oh no!" Ben says. "Our rocket is broken!" + +"What do we do?" Mia asks. "We can't get it back!" + +They hear the neighbor's voice. He is angry. He sees the rocket in his pool and shouts. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing? That's my pool! Get your rocket out of there!" + +Ben and Mia are scared. They say sorry to the neighbor and run back to their house. They hope their rocket will dry and work again. They also hope the neighbor will not be too mad at them. They decide to play with something else. They do not want to lose their rocket again. +Sara and Tom were playing in the hall. The hall was wide and long, with many doors and pictures. Sara liked to run and jump in the hall. Tom liked to hide and seek in the hall. + +"Let's play hide and seek!" Tom said. "You count to ten and I hide, okay?" + +"Okay!" Sara said. She closed her eyes and counted. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" + +Sara opened her eyes and looked for Tom. She checked behind the doors and under the tables. She did not see Tom. She heard a giggle from the end of the hall. She ran to the sound. + +"Tom, I found you!" Sara said. She saw Tom hiding behind a big vase. The vase was tall and shiny, with flowers and leaves on it. Sara reached for Tom, but Tom moved away. + +"Ha ha, you can't catch me!" Tom said. He ran around the vase, but he bumped into it. The vase wobbled and fell. It broke into many pieces. The flowers and leaves scattered on the floor. + +Sara and Tom gasped. They heard footsteps and voices. They knew it was Mom and Dad. They were angry. + +"Who did this?" Mom said. She saw the broken vase and the mess. She saw Sara and Tom. "Did you do this?" + +Sara and Tom nodded. They were scared. They knew the vase was Mom's favorite. She got it from Grandma. She cared for it a lot. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Sara said. + +"Me too, Mom," Tom said. + +Mom and Dad were very sad and mad. They did not hug Sara and Tom. They did not say it was okay. They sent Sara and Tom to their rooms. They said they had to stay there until dinner. They said they had to think about what they did. + +Sara and Tom went to their rooms. They did not play. They did not talk. They felt bad. They wished they did not break the vase. They wished they did not make Mom and Dad sad and mad. They wished they could say sorry again. They wished they could hug Mom and Dad. They wished they could play in the hall again. But they could not. They had to stay in their rooms. They had to wait for dinner. They had to hope Mom and Dad would forgive them. They had to hope Mom and Dad would still care for them. +Lily and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They want to make a cake for Mom. They have a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar and some butter. They look at the recipe book. + +"First, we need to count the eggs," Lily says. "One, two, three, four. We need four eggs. Can you crack them, Tom?" + +Tom nods. He picks up an egg and taps it on the edge of the bowl. It breaks and the yellow part falls into the bowl. He does the same with the other eggs. + +"Good job, Tom!" Lily says. "Now, we need to add the flour and the sugar. I can do that. You can watch me." + +Lily takes a cup and fills it with flour. She pours it into the bowl. She does the same with the sugar. She takes a big spoon and stirs everything together. + +"Look, Tom, it's like a thick white paste," Lily says. "Now, we need the butter. Where is the butter?" + +Tom looks around. He sees a yellow block on the counter. He reaches for it and picks it up. It is very hard and cold. + +"Here is the butter, Lily," Tom says. "But it is hard. How can we put it in the bowl?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers what Mom does when she makes a cake. + +"We need to make the butter soft, Tom," Lily says. "We need to put it in the microwave. Do you know how to use the microwave?" + +Tom shakes his head. He does not know how to use the microwave. He thinks it is a magic box that makes things hot. + +"Me neither," Lily says. "But I know how to press the buttons. Let's try it." + +Lily and Tom put the butter in a small plate and put it in the microwave. Lily presses some buttons and the microwave starts to beep and spin. They wait for a few seconds and then open the door. The butter is soft and melted. + +"Wow, it worked!" Lily says. "Now we can add the butter to the bowl. Be careful, it is hot." + +Lily and Tom pour the butter into the bowl and stir it with the spoon. The paste becomes yellow and smooth. + +"We did it, Tom!" Lily says. "We made the cake batter. Now we need to bake it in the oven. But we need Mom's help for that. Let's go find her and surprise her with our cake." + +Lily and Tom run out of the kitchen, holding the bowl. They are very proud and happy. They hope Mom will like their cake. They do not see the mess they left behind. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play outside in the park. Today it is cold and windy. Ben has a brown jacket. Lily has a pink jacket. + +"Look at my jacket!" Ben says. "It is brown like a bear. It is warm and cozy. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, it is nice," Lily says. "But I like my jacket more. It is pink like a flower. It is pretty and soft. Do you like it?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, I don't like it. Pink is for girls. Brown is for boys. You should wear a brown jacket like me." + +Lily frowns. "No, I shouldn't. Pink is for everyone. Brown is boring. You should wear a pink jacket like me." + +They start to argue. They pull each other's jackets. They make each other sad. + +"Stop it!" a voice says. It is Mom. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. + +"Ben, Lily, what are you doing?" she asks. "Why are you fighting over jackets? Jackets are for keeping you warm, not for making you mad. You should share and care, not pull and tear." + +She teaches them how to say sorry and hug. She teaches them how to be kind and respect. She teaches them how to be friends. + +Ben and Lily listen to Mom. They say sorry and hug. They stop fighting over jackets. They start playing together again. They are happy. Mom is happy too. +Sara and Ben like to play in the swamp. They find mud, sticks, leaves and bugs. They design things with them. They make a mud castle, a stick boat, a leaf hat and a bug necklace. + +One day, they see a bright light in the swamp. They go to look. They find a big jar with a firefly inside. The firefly is sad. It wants to fly free. + +"Hello, firefly. Why are you in the jar?" Sara asks. + +"Someone caught me and put me here. I miss my friends and the night sky. Please help me," the firefly says. + +Sara and Ben feel sorry for the firefly. They open the jar and let it out. The firefly is happy. It thanks them and flies away. + +"Bye, firefly. We are glad you are free," Ben says. + +Sara and Ben smile. They go back to their swamp designs. They have a new friend. They hope to see the firefly again. +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. But one day, they had a big quarrel. Tim wanted to play with the red car, and Lily wanted to play with the same car. They both pulled the car and shouted, "Mine! Mine!" + +"Stop it!" said Mom. "You have to share. Why don't you take turns with the car?" + +But Tim and Lily did not listen. They kept pulling the car until it broke. The wheels came off and the car was dead. Tim and Lily looked at the dead car and felt sad. They had broken their favorite toy. + +They looked at each other and said, "Sorry. Sorry." + +They hugged and said, "Friends. Friends." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. Now, do you have a question for me?" + +Tim and Lily nodded. They asked, "Can you fix the car, please?" + +Mom said, "I'll try. But next time, remember to share and be kind. OK?" + +Tim and Lily said, "OK. Thank you, Mom." + +They went to play with the dolls and the books. They did not quarrel anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. But sometimes they get tired and need a nap. + +One day, Mom says, "It's time for your nap, Lily and Max. You can play more after you sleep." + +Lily and Max do not want to nap. They want to keep playing. They say, "No, Mom, no nap. We are not sleepy. We want to play." + +Mom says, "You need a nap, Lily and Max. You will feel better and have more fun. And if you nap, we can go for a walk later. Do you like walks?" + +Lily and Max love walks. They like to see the birds, the flowers, and the cars. They like to hold Mom's hand and Spot's leash. They are eager for a walk. + +They say, "Yes, Mom, we like walks. We want to go for a walk. Can we go now?" + +Mom says, "No, Lily and Max, you have to nap first. Then we can go for a walk. Come on, let's go to your room. I will read you a story and sing you a song. Then you can close your eyes and dream." + +Lily and Max follow Mom to their room. They pick a book and a song. Mom reads and sings to them. They cuddle with their teddy bears and Spot. They start to feel sleepy. + +They say, "Good night, Mom. We love you. See you after our nap." + +Mom says, "Good night, Lily and Max. I love you too. Have a nice nap. See you soon for our walk." + +Lily and Max close their eyes and nap. They dream of their walk. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw many things that were green: the grass, the trees, the leaves, the frogs. They liked green. + +One day, they noticed something unusual. It was a big green ball in the corner of the park. It was shiny and smooth and had no holes or seams. They wondered what it was and how it got there. + +"Let's go and see the green ball!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be dangerous." Lily said. + +They ran to the green ball and touched it. It felt cold and hard. They tried to push it, but it did not move. They tried to bounce it, but it did not bounce. They tried to kick it, but it hurt their feet. + +"What is this green ball?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a toy. Maybe it's a rock. Maybe it's an alien." Lily said. + +They heard a loud noise. It was a man with a big truck. He had a crane and a hook. He came to the green ball and hooked it up. He lifted it and put it in his truck. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom shouted. + +"I'm taking this green ball away. It's not a toy. It's not a rock. It's not an alien. It's a bomb." The man said. + +"A bomb?" Tom and Lily gasped. + +"Yes, a bomb. Someone left it here to hurt people. It's very bad. I'm taking it to a safe place where it can't explode. You are very lucky you did not make it explode. You should never touch things that are unusual or strange. They might be dangerous. You should always tell an adult if you see something like this." The man said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They felt scared and sorry. They learned a lesson. They thanked the man and ran back to their parents. They told them what happened and hugged them. They decided to only play with things that were green and safe. They did not like bombs. +Sara and Tom were playing in the old house. They liked to explore the rooms and find things. Sara saw a big cobweb on the wall. It was white and shiny. She wanted to take it. + +"Look, Tom, a cobweb!" she said. "Can I take it?" + +Tom shook his head. "No, Sara, you can't take it. It belongs to the spider. The spider made it. It is his home." + +Sara frowned. "But it is so pretty. I want to make a dress with it. It would be a charming dress." + +Tom sighed. "Sara, you can't make a dress with a cobweb. It is too thin and sticky. It would break and stick to you. And the spider would be sad. He worked hard to make his cobweb. He needs it to catch bugs. Bugs are his food." + +Sara thought for a moment. She did not want to make the spider sad. She did not want to break his home. She did not want to be sticky. She looked at the cobweb again. It was still pretty, but not as much as before. + +"Okay, Tom, you are right. I won't take the cobweb. I will leave it for the spider. Maybe he will let me look at it sometimes." + +Tom smiled. "That's very nice of you, Sara. I'm sure the spider will be happy. And maybe he will make more cobwebs for us to see. Come on, let's go and find something else to play with." +Tim and Mia like to play in the sand. They have a big spade and a bucket. They dig and make a hill. They put shells and stones on the hill. They are happy. + +But then they see a big dog. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. The dog barks and runs to them. Tim and Mia are scared. They drop the spade and the bucket. They run to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, help!" they cry. "A big dog is coming!" + +Mom sees the dog and picks up Tim and Mia. She hugs them and says, "Don't worry, it's okay. The dog is not bad. He just wants to play." + +The dog stops and wags his tail. He sniffs the spade and the bucket. He likes them. He picks up the spade in his mouth and runs away. + +"Hey, that's our spade!" Tim says. + +"Can we get it back?" Mia asks. + +Mom smiles and says, "Maybe later. Let's go and have a snack. You did a good job with the hill." + +Tim and Mia nod and follow mom. They are not scared anymore. They are hungry. +Lily liked to write. She had a big book and a crayon. She wrote her name, and some shapes, and some animals. She wrote a cat, a dog, a bird, and an elephant. The elephant was big and gray, with a long nose and big ears. + +She showed her book to her mom. "Look, mom, I wrote an elephant!" she said. + +Mom smiled and hugged her. "You did a great job, Lily. Your elephant is very nice. Do you know what elephants like to eat?" + +Lily thought for a moment. "Bananas?" she guessed. + +Mom nodded. "Yes, bananas, and also leaves, and grass, and nuts. Elephants eat a lot, because they are very big." + +Lily wondered how tasty bananas and leaves and nuts were. She liked apples and cheese and cookies. She asked mom, "Can I give my elephant some cookies?" + +Mom laughed. "Well, I don't think elephants eat cookies, but maybe you can pretend. How about you draw some cookies on your book, and then you can share them with your elephant?" + +Lily liked that idea. She picked a brown crayon and drew some round cookies with chocolate chips. She pretended to give one to her elephant, and then she ate one herself. "Mmm, tasty!" she said. + +Mom watched her and smiled. She was proud of her little writer. She said, "You have a very good imagination, Lily. And a very good appetite. How about we go and make some real cookies together?" + +Lily was happy. She closed her book and put her crayon away. She said, "Yes, please, mom. I love cookies. And I love you. And I love my elephant." + +The end. +Anna and Ben liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a swing. They also had many flowers and fruits. They liked to smell the flowers and taste the fruits. + +One day, they saw a new plant in the garden. It was a vine. It had green leaves and purple grapes. Anna and Ben wanted to try the grapes. They looked sweet and juicy. + +But the vine was too high for them. They could not reach the grapes. They tried to jump and climb, but they could not. They felt sad and hungry. + +Then they had an idea. They used the swing to get closer to the vine. They pushed the swing hard and fast. They swung up and down, up and down. When they were high enough, they grabbed the vine. They pulled the vine down and picked some grapes. They ate the grapes and shared them. They were happy and full. + +They said thank you to the vine. They said the vine was useful and good. They said they valued the vine. They decided to take care of the vine and water it every day. They hoped the vine would grow more grapes for them. They loved the vine and the garden. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. Lily found a red bottle with a picture of a pepper on it. She opened it and smelled it. + +"Wow, this is spicy!" she said. "I want to try it on my food." + +Tom was curious. He came closer and looked at the bottle. He saw some words on it, but he could not read them. + +"What does it say?" he asked. + +Lily shrugged. "I don't know. It is a different language. Maybe it is from another country." + +She poured some of the spicy sauce on her plate. She took a bite of her food and made a funny face. + +"Ouch! It burns!" she cried. "It is too hot for me!" + +Tom laughed. He thought Lily was silly. He wanted to show her he was brave. He took the bottle and poured some sauce on his food too. He took a big bite and smiled. + +"See? It is not so bad. I like it. It is yummy." + +But then, his smile turned into a frown. His mouth felt like fire. He felt tears in his eyes. He ran to the sink and drank some water. + +"Help! It burns! It burns!" he shouted. "I don't like it. It is yucky." + +Lily stopped crying. She saw Tom was in trouble. She felt sorry for him. She gave him a hug and a glass of milk. + +"It's okay, Tom. I'm sorry I laughed at you. The spicy sauce was too hot for both of us. Next time, we will be more careful. We will ask mom or dad before we try new things." + +Tom nodded. He felt better. He hugged Lily back and thanked her. + +"You're welcome, Lily. I'm sorry I was mean to you. You are a good sister. And a good chef." + +They smiled and went back to their game. They decided to make something else for their food. Something sweet and yummy. And not spicy at all. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One night, they were in their room and saw a candle on the table. The candle was yellow and had a nice smell. + +"Look, a candle!" Sara said. "Can we touch it?" + +"No, it is hot and can hurt us," Ben said. "But we can gaze at it. It is pretty and makes the room bright." + +They gazed at the candle and saw the flame dance and flicker. They felt warm and cozy. They liked the candle. + +Then they heard their mom call them. "Sara, Ben, time for bed!" + +They got up and put on their pajamas. They brushed their teeth and washed their faces. They made their beds tidy and put away their toys. + +They went to the living room and hugged their mom good night. She kissed them and said, "You are such good children. I am proud of you." + +She took them back to their room and tucked them in. She blew out the candle and said, "Sleep well, my darlings. I love you." + +She turned off the light and left the room. Sara and Ben closed their eyes and dreamed of the candle. They felt happy and safe. They liked the candle. +Sam and Anna were friends. They liked to play together. One day, Sam went to visit Anna at her house. He brought his toy car and his ball. + +"Hi, Sam!" Anna said. "Do you want to play in my room?" + +"Yes, please!" Sam said. They ran up the stairs and played with Anna's dolls and books. They had fun. + +Soon, it was time for lunch. Anna's mom called them downstairs. She made them sandwiches and juice. They ate and drank. + +"Thank you for the lunch, Anna's mom!" Sam said. + +"You're welcome, Sam. Do you like the juice?" Anna's mom asked. + +"Yes, I do. It is sweet and cold." Sam said. + +Anna's mom smiled. "It is apple juice. It is good for you." + +Sam and Anna finished their lunch. They wanted to play more. They decided to go outside and play with the ball. + +They threw the ball to each other. They ran and jumped. They laughed and shouted. + +But then, Sam threw the ball too hard. It went over the fence and into the street. + +"Oh no!" Sam said. "The ball is gone!" + +"Don't worry, Sam. I will get it for you." Anna said. She ran to the fence and climbed over it. + +"Anna, wait!" Sam said. "It is not safe!" + +But Anna did not hear him. She ran into the street. She did not see the car coming. + +The car honked. Anna stopped. She was scared. The car stopped too. The driver got out. + +"Are you okay, little girl?" The driver asked. He was angry and worried. + +Anna nodded. She was okay. But she was dizzy. She felt sick. + +"I'm sorry, mister. I wanted to get the ball." Anna said. + +The driver looked at the ball. It was on the ground. He picked it up and gave it to Anna. + +"Here is your ball. But you should not run into the street. It is dangerous. You could get hurt." The driver said. + +"I know. I'm sorry. I won't do it again." Anna said. + +The driver nodded. He got back into his car and drove away. + +Sam climbed over the fence and ran to Anna. He hugged her. + +"Anna, are you okay? I was so scared. You should not run into the street. It is dangerous. You could get hurt." Sam said. + +"I know. I'm sorry. I won't do it again." Anna said. She hugged him back. + +They walked back to Anna's house. They held hands. They were glad they were okay. + +They played with the ball in the backyard. They were careful. They did not throw it too hard. + +They were happy. They were friends. +Lily liked to mark on the screen with her finger. She made lines and dots and shapes of different colors. She thought it was cool and fun. She showed her mom and dad what she made. They smiled and said it was pretty. + +One day, Lily saw a new screen in the living room. It was big and shiny and had pictures and sounds. Lily wanted to mark on it too. She thought it would be even cooler and funner. She waited until mom and dad were busy in the kitchen. Then she ran to the screen and touched it with her finger. + +But the screen did not change colors. It only made a loud noise and a bright flash. Lily was scared and hurt. She cried and dropped to the floor. Mom and dad heard her and came to see what happened. They saw the screen was broken and Lily was sad. + +"Oh, Lily, what did you do?" mom asked. + +"I wanted to mark on the screen," Lily said. + +"You can't mark on that screen, Lily. That screen is not for marking. That screen is for watching. You can only mark on your own screen," dad said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, dad. I didn't know," Lily said. + +Mom and dad hugged Lily and said it was okay. They said they loved her and they would get a new screen. They also said she had to be careful and ask before she touched things. Lily said she understood and she would be good. She said she loved them too and she was sorry. They kissed her and took her to her room. They gave her her own screen and some stickers. Lily marked on her screen with the stickers. She made lines and dots and shapes of different colors. She thought it was cool and fun. She showed mom and dad what she made. They smiled and said it was pretty. +Lily and Ben were playing near the cliff. They liked to look at the sea and the birds. But they knew they had to be careful and not go too close to the edge. + +One day, they found a big stick. It was gray and hard. They wondered what it was. They decided to try to break it. + +"Let me do it!" Ben said. He took the stick and hit it on a rock. But nothing happened. The stick was too strong. + +"No, let me do it!" Lily said. She took the stick and hit it on another rock. But nothing happened. The stick was too strong. + +They both wanted to break the stick. They pulled and pushed and twisted it. They did not see that they were moving closer and closer to the cliff. + +Suddenly, the stick broke. But it broke in the middle. Lily and Ben each had a piece of the stick in their hands. They lost their balance and fell over the edge. + +They screamed and cried. They were scared. They did not want to fall into the sea. + +But they did not fall very far. They landed on a soft pile of sand. They were not hurt. They were just dirty and wet. + +They looked up and saw their mom and dad. They had heard their screams and came to help them. They were angry and worried. + +"What were you doing?" Mom asked. "You know you are not supposed to play near the cliff. It is dangerous. You could have been hurt." + +"We are sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben said. "We found a stick and we wanted to break it. But it was too strong. And then we fell." + +Mom and Dad hugged them and kissed them. They were glad they were safe. They took them home and gave them a bath and a snack. + +They told them to never play near the cliff again. And to be careful with sticks. And to share and not fight. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They said they loved their mom and dad. And they loved each other. +Tom and Anna were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Anna had a doll. They were having fun, but they were also making a lot of noise. + +"Tom, Anna, stop!" their mom said from the kitchen. "You are too loud. I am trying to make lunch." + +Tom and Anna did not listen. They kept playing and making noise. They did not hear their mom say "stop" again. + +Then, they heard a loud crash. They looked at the kitchen and saw their mom holding a broken cup. She had dropped it on the floor. There were pieces of glass and water everywhere. + +"Oh no, mom!" Tom and Anna said. They ran to the kitchen to help her. + +"I'm sorry, kids," their mom said. "I was carrying this cup to the table, but it was too difficult. It was too heavy and slippery. I lost my balance and it fell." + +Tom and Anna felt bad. They knew they should have listened to their mom. They hugged her and said they were sorry. + +"It's okay, kids," their mom said. "But next time, please stop when I ask you to. It is not safe to play so loud and ignore me. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They said they understood. They helped their mom clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. They decided to play more quietly and listen to their mom. They loved their mom and did not want to make her angry or sad. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. Today, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big truck with a sign that says "Popcorn". They run to the truck and ask their moms for some popcorn. + +"Can we have some popcorn, please?" Tom and Mia say. + +"Sure, you can have some popcorn. It smells lovely, doesn't it?" their moms say. + +They pay the man in the truck and get two big bags of popcorn. They sit on a bench and open their bags. They enjoy the popcorn very much. It is warm and crunchy and salty and sweet. + +"Yum, this popcorn is so good!" Tom says. + +"I agree, this popcorn is delicious!" Mia says. + +They share their popcorn with each other and with their moms. They talk and laugh and have fun. They see some birds and squirrels and dogs in the park. They wave and say hello to them. + +They finish their popcorn and throw their bags in the trash. They thank the man in the truck and say goodbye. They go to the playground and play some more. They slide and swing and climb and jump. They are happy and tired. + +They hug their moms and their friend and say goodbye. They go home and take a nap. They dream of popcorn and the park and their lovely day. +Lily liked to record sounds with her toy phone. She would press the red button and say something, then press the green button and hear it back. She liked to record her voice, her mom's voice, her dog's bark, and the birds' songs. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and her dog. She saw a fox in the bushes. She had never seen a fox before. She wanted to record its sound. She ran towards the fox with her toy phone, but her mom called her back. + +"Lily, wait! Don't go near the fox! It might be scared or angry. It might bite you or run away. Come back here, please!" + +Lily stopped and looked at her mom. She was not happy. She wanted to record the fox. She thought her mom was not reliable. She thought her mom did not know about foxes. She thought foxes were nice and friendly. + +She waited until her mom was busy talking to another mom. She sneaked back to the bushes. She saw the fox again. It was looking at her with big eyes. She smiled and said hello. She pressed the red button and asked, "What is your name, fox?" + +The fox did not answer. It opened its mouth and made a loud sound. It was not a nice sound. It was a scary sound. It was a growl. Lily was afraid. She dropped her toy phone and ran back to her mom. She cried and hugged her mom. + +Her mom picked up her toy phone and pressed the green button. She heard Lily's voice and the fox's growl. She understood what had happened. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you wanted to record the fox, but foxes are not like dogs. They are wild animals. They are not reliable. They can be dangerous. You have to be careful around them. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry, too. I should have listened to you. You are reliable. You know about foxes. You know how to keep me safe. I love you, mom." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I love you, too, Lily. Come on, let's go home. Maybe we can record some other sounds on the way." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and draw with ink. One day, they find a big box in the park. It has many things inside. They see a phone, a hat, a ball, and a ring. + +"Look, a ring!" Lily says. She picks up the ring and puts it on her finger. It is shiny and pretty. "It is mine now." + +"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He wants the ring too. He tries to take it from Lily. They pull and tug. The ring falls off and rolls away. + +"Where is the ring?" Lily asks. She is sad. She likes the ring. + +"I don't know," Tom says. He is sorry. He should not have been mean. + +They look for the ring. They look under the box, behind the tree, and in the grass. They cannot find the ring. They are sad. + +Then they hear a sound. It is a ring. The phone in the box is ringing. They run to the box and pick up the phone. + +"Hello?" Lily says. + +"Hello, this is Sam," a voice says. "I lost my box. It has my phone, my hat, my ball, and my ring. Have you seen it?" + +"Yes, we have it!" Tom says. "We are sorry. We played with your things. We lost your ring." + +"That's okay," Sam says. "I am grateful that you found my box. Can you tell me where you are? I will come and get it." + +Lily and Tom tell Sam where they are. They wait for him. They are happy. They have made a new friend. They hope he will find his ring. They will not fight over things again. They will share and be kind. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big lake with ice on top. The ice is shiny and white. + +"Look, ice!" Anna says. "Can we go on it?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, ice is slippery. We can fall and hurt ourselves." + +"But I want to see the ice," Anna says. "It looks fun." + +She runs to the lake and steps on the ice. She feels the ice move under her feet. She tries to balance, but she slips and falls. + +"Anna, are you okay?" Ben shouts. He runs to the lake and helps her up. + +Anna is wet and cold. She starts to cry. "I'm sorry, Ben. I was silly. The ice is not fun. It is scary." + +Ben hugs her. "It's okay, Anna. I'm not mad at you. Let's go home and get warm." + +They walk back to their house. On the way, they see a big tree with colorful leaves. The leaves are red, yellow, and orange. + +"Look, colorful leaves!" Ben says. "Can we play with them?" + +Anna nods. "Yes, leaves are not slippery. They are soft and pretty." + +They run to the tree and pick up some leaves. They throw them in the air and catch them. They laugh and smile. + +"Leaves are fun," Anna says. "They make me happy." + +Ben agrees. "Me too, Anna. Me too." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. He says the slide is too high and dangerous. + +Lily says, "Don't be a baby, Ben. The slide is fun. Come with me." She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Ben follows her, but he is very nervous. He holds on to the rail and looks down. He sees his mom and dad waving at him. + +Lily sits on the slide and says, "Ready, set, go!" She slides down fast and laughs. She lands on the ground and says, "That was awesome! Let's do it again!" She runs back to the ladder. + +Ben is still on the top of the slide. He does not want to slide down. He says, "No, Lily. I don't like the slide. It's too scary. I want to go back to mom and dad." + +But Lily does not hear him. She is already on the slide again. She says, "Come on, Ben. Don't be a chicken. It's easy. Just let go and slide." + +Ben tries to let go, but he can't. He is too afraid. He starts to cry. He says, "Help, help! I'm stuck on the slide!" + +Mom and dad hear him. They look up and see him. They say, "Oh no, Ben! What are you doing up there? You're in trouble, mister. You need to come down right now." + +They run to the slide and try to help him. But the slide is too high and steep. They can't reach him. They say, "Ben, you need to be brave. You can do it. Just slide down slowly and we'll catch you." + +Ben looks at them. He sees they are worried. He feels sorry. He says, "OK, mom and dad. I'll try. I'm sorry I made trouble." + +He takes a deep breath and lets go of the rail. He slides down slowly and carefully. He closes his eyes and hopes for the best. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He hears Lily cheering for him. + +He opens his eyes and sees mom and dad smiling at him. They catch him and hug him. They say, "Good job, Ben! You did it! We're so proud of you. You're not in trouble anymore. You're a big boy." + +Ben feels happy and relieved. He says, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you. I'm sorry I was scared. The slide was not so bad. It was kind of fun." + +Lily runs to him and hugs him too. She says, "You did great, Ben. I'm sorry I pushed you. The slide was dangerous. You're brave. You're my best friend." + +Ben smiles and hugs her back. He says, "You're my best friend too, Lily. Let's go play something else. Something safer." + +They hold hands and walk away from the slide. They spend the rest of the day playing in the park with mom and dad. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were going to the park with Mom and Dad. They got in the big van and put on their seat belts. Mom drove the van and Dad played music. Tom and Lily sang along and looked out the window. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily said, pointing at a brown dog running on the grass. + +"Wow, he is fast!" Tom said, clapping his hands. + +They arrived at the park and got out of the van. Mom and Dad took a basket with food and drinks. They found a nice spot under a tree and spread a blanket. Tom and Lily ran to the swings and the slide. They had fun playing and laughing. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" Mom called. + +Tom and Lily ran back to the blanket. Mom gave them sandwiches and juice. They were hungry and thirsty. + +"Is it spicy?" Tom asked, looking at his sandwich. + +"No, it's not spicy. It's cheese and ham. You like cheese and ham, right?" Mom said. + +"Yes, I do!" Tom said, taking a big bite. + +Lily also liked her sandwich. She ate it all and asked for more. Mom gave her another half. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, sweetie!" Mom said. + +They finished their food and drinks. They packed the basket and the blanket. They got back in the van and buckled up. + +"Did you have fun at the park?" Dad asked. + +"Yes, we did!" Tom and Lily said. + +"Good. Now, let's go home and take a nap. You must be tired," Dad said. + +"Okay, Dad," Tom and Lily said. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. Mom and Dad smiled and drove the van home. They had a nice day at the park. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a long tail and big ears. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily says. She wants to pet the dog. Tom is scared. He hides behind a tree. + +The dog runs to Lily. It licks her face. Lily laughs. She likes the dog. The dog wags its tail. It makes a happy noise. + +"Come, Tom! The dog is nice!" Lily calls. Tom peeks from the tree. He sees Lily and the dog. He is still scared. + +The dog sees Tom. It runs to him. It barks. It wants to play. Tom screams. He runs away. The dog chases him. + +Lily runs after them. She thinks it is funny. She laughs more. She makes a loud noise. + +A man comes. He is the dog's owner. He is nosy. He wants to know what is happening. + +"Hey, kids! What are you doing with my dog?" he asks. He is angry. + +Lily stops laughing. She is sorry. She tells the man the truth. + +"We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to play with your dog. He is very cute and friendly. But Tom is scared of dogs. He ran away. Your dog followed him. We did not mean to make trouble." + +The man looks at Lily. He looks at Tom. He looks at his dog. He sees that they are not bad. He is not angry anymore. He smiles. + +"It's okay, kids. I understand. My dog is very playful. He likes to chase things. He does not want to hurt anyone. He just wants to have fun. But you should be careful. Not all dogs are nice. Some dogs can bite. You should always ask the owner before you pet a dog." + +Lily and Tom nod. They learn a lesson. They say sorry again. They say goodbye to the dog. They go back to the park. They play with their toys. They are happy. They are still friends. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lily. Every day, Lily would go out and play with her friends. Today, she wanted to go and ride her bike. + +Lily put her helmet on and grabbed the handlebars of her bike. She started pedalling and it felt great. The wind was blowing in her hair and the sun was shining on her face. + +Lily rode her bike around the park and soon she could see the hill in the distance. She started pedalling faster and faster. Suddenly she was at the top of the hill. She looked down and said "Whoo hoo!!". + +Lily felt so proud that she had made it to the top of the hill. She rode back home with a big smile on her face. When she got back, she said to her mum, "Look what I did, mummy!" + +Her mum hugged her and said, "That's wonderful, Lily! I'm so proud of you!" Lily was very happy and she went to bed with a smile on her face. +Once upon a time there was a small boy called Peter. He liked to go out and search for interesting things.

They had lots of fun and many adventures! +Sammy was a young boy with a special shiny object. He was very proud of it and wanted to keep it looking perfect. + +Every day, he would take it out and start polishing it with a cloth. Sometimes, the cloth was soft and gentle, and Sammy could feel it making the shiny object feel smoother beneath his fingers. + +One day, Sammy was polishing the shiny object very quickly. His mother saw him and said, “Sammy, you need to be more gentle. Quick polishing can make the object uncomfortable.†+ +Sammy stopped polishing and looked up at his mother. He asked, “What does uncomfortable mean?†+ +His mother smiled at him and said, “Uncomfortable means it doesn’t feel good. You should polish it slowly and carefully, so it feels nice.†+ +Sammy nodded his head and slowly started to polish the object again. The shiny object looked even better when he was done. +Jenny was a brave girl. She was always curious and loved adventure. One day Jenny was walking around, when she saw something hairy in the bushes. It was a telephone. Jenny was excited and wanted to play with it. She reached out to close the phone, when she heard a loud "No!" It was her mom. "Don't touch that phone, it's not ours," she said sternly. Jenny was sad, but she listened and stepped away. + +But Jenny's curiosity was hard to stop. When her mom wasn't looking she went back and closed the phone. Suddenly, there was a bright light and a loud buzzing. Jenny was scared and ran away. + +When her mom found her, they realized the buzzing was coming from the telephone. It was a bee hive! Jenny didn't realize that closing the phone would disturb the bees. The lesson Jenny learned that day was to never touch what isn't yours. +Once upon a time there was a little girl and she was very, very sad. She was sad because she had a nightmare. It was a scary nightmare. Every night she had the same nightmare and she was so restless. + +One day, she decided to do something about it. She took some paper and she tore it up in to lots of tiny pieces. When it was all torn, she made a big pile and then she jumped in. She found it very fun and exciting! + + Eventually she stopped being so scared about the nightmare. Now she sleeps soundly and if she does have a nightmare, she knows she can just tear up more paper and jump in it! She feels much better now she is not so restless. +Once upon a time, there was a mighty chicken. He was very strong and fast, and he could fly very high in the sky. + +One day, he flew into a barn and he saw a farmer tying a rope on a pole. The chicken asked the farmer, “What are you doing?†The farmer answered, “I’m tying a rope around this pole so my cows can’t get out.†+ +The chicken wanted to help, so the farmer gave him another rope.

You can't have my ice cream!' + +Jack was confused and knew he couldn't fight the dog. So he stopped and said, 'I'm sorry, I just want a clear style ice cream.' + +The dog laughed and said, 'You think you can just take my ice cream and get away? I don't think so!' + +Jack started to run away, but it was too late. The dog chased after him and caught him. Jack never made it to the ice cream truck. He never got the clear style ice cream he wanted. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Billy. He had a white puppy called Max. Every day they would go for walks together and play in the park. + +Billy would look at Max with love and say "Hi Max, let's play!"

She said excitedly to her mom "Mom, look, up in the sky! What is that navy thing?" + +Her mom replied, "That's a plane, sweetheart. Planes are for flying." + +Daisy grabbed her hat, put it on her head and yelled "Mom, I'm going to grab it!" She ran as fast as she could and soon she was off, chasing the navy plane. + +Daisy chased the plane for what felt like hours. But, eventually, she got bored and stopped running. Daisy knew that she couldn't catch the plane, so she plopped down on the grass and waited for it to come back. + +However, the plane never returned. Instead, Daisy saw a little navy bird flying in the same path as the plane. She got excited and said "Look mom, a navy bird!

He had heard grown-ups talking about cops, and thought they were not nice. + +His mum said, "It's okay to be scared of cops, but they are here to help us. They are here to keep us safe." + +Sam thought about it and said, "But I'm still poor." + +Mum hugged him and said, "That's okay, but you don't have to hate cops.

Daddy and Mommy were smiling and hugging, and the baby was laughing and playing with her toys. + +Then one day the family got some very bad news. Daddy's work had ended and now he had to find a new job. At first, Daddy and Mommy were very worried.

With that, he turned around and swam away. + +But, much to Barry's surprise, Finney grew a heart and chose to forgive. He knew that his big lips were a special part of him and he should be proud of them. With his head held high, Finney swam away. + +The moral of the story is this: Despite the unkind words and hurtful behavior of others, the power to forgive belongs to us all. +Once upon a time, there was a bright caterpillar. He wanted to explore the world and have lots of fun! He saw a lot of interesting things and was at the top of a big hill when suddenly, it started to rain!

Joe was so excited and thankful and together, the three of them managed to fill the lake. When the lake was completely full, all the animals around were so happy and came to thank the bulls. + +This story teaches a lesson that it is always better to work together. You can get so much more done with friends than alone.

Wait one minute, buddy! That file belongs to me!" +Turning around, he saw a tiny mouse. + +The bear said, "This file looks delicious, and it's all mine!" +The mouse replied, "Maybe the file looks good, but it doesn't belong to you. We should always be respectful of others and the things that belong to them." + +The bear thought about this and realized the mouse was right. He put the file back in the log and said, "Thanks for the advice my friend. Next time I'll remember to always be respectful." + +Moral: We should always be respectful and take care of things that don't belong to us. +Once upon a time there was an old man who used to love to roll around his garden.

Sally couldn't contain her excitement, and she took a big bite. + +Meanwhile, one of the other children, who had been watching Sally, started to giggle.
