He picked up a stick and hit the crocodile on the nose. The crocodile let go of Tom and slid back into the swamp. It was angry and hungry. + +"Thank you, Sam!" said Tom. He was grateful and relieved. + +"You're welcome, Tom!" said Sam. He was happy and proud. + +They hugged and ran back to the woods. They learned a lesson. They never went to the swamp again. +Anna was very happy today. She was going to visit her big sister at university. University was a big place where big people learned many things. Anna wanted to learn many things too. + +When she got to university, her big sister showed her around. She showed her the library, the cafeteria, the garden and the lab. Anna liked the lab the best. There were many machines and bottles and tubes in the lab. Her big sister said they were for experiments. + +"Can I do an experiment too?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, why not?" her big sister said. "But you have to be careful and follow my instructions. Some of these things can be dangerous." + +Her big sister gave her a small bottle of blue liquid and a small bottle of yellow liquid. She told her to pour a little bit of the blue liquid into a glass and then pour a little bit of the yellow liquid on top of it. + +Anna did as she was told. She poured a little bit of the blue liquid into the glass. It looked like water. Then she poured a little bit of the yellow liquid on top of it. It looked like lemonade. + +But then something amazing happened. The blue liquid and the yellow liquid mixed together and turned green. And then they started to bubble and fizz and rise up in the glass. And then they spilled over the edge and made a mess on the table. + +Anna gasped. She had never seen anything like that before. She thought it was very cool and very fun. + +Her big sister laughed. She said it was a chemical reaction. She said it was not dangerous, but it was very original.

She liked science. She liked her big sister. +Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They had fun and learned new things. + +One day, they saw a big red flower that smelled very nice. Lila wanted to pick it and take it home. Tom said no, that was not nice. The flower belonged to the garden and the bees. If they picked it, it would die and the bees would have no food. + +Lila did not listen to Tom. She was ignorant. She thought she knew better. She picked the flower and ran away. Tom was sad and angry. He followed her and tried to stop her. + +But it was too late. The flower was already wilting and losing its color and smell. Lila saw that and felt sorry. She realized she had made a mistake. She wished she had listened to Tom. She said sorry to Tom and to the flower and to the bees. + +Tom forgave her and hugged her. He said they could still be friends, but they had to be careful and respectful in the garden. They had to learn from the flowers and the bugs and the birds. They had to share and not be greedy. They had to be kind and not ignorant. +Sara and Ben like to help Mom with the clothes. Mom washes the clothes in the big machine. Then she puts them in a basket. Sara and Ben take the basket outside. They see the long line with clips. Mom says, "This is the dry line. We hang the clothes on the dry line. The sun and the wind make them dry." + +Sara and Ben take the clothes from the basket. They hang them on the dry line. They use the clips to hold them. They hang shirts, pants, socks, and underwear. They hang a big blanket too. It is soft and warm. Sara and Ben want to lie on the blanket. They are sleepy. + +Mom says, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You are very helpful. But we cannot lie on the blanket now. It is wet. We have to wait until it is dry. Then we can fold it and put it away. Come on, let's go inside. We can have a snack and a nap. You must be hungry and tired." + +Sara and Ben nod. They are hungry and tired. They follow Mom inside.

They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big melon on the table. It was green and round and smelled sweet. + +"Let's eat the melon!" Lily said. + +"No, we can't. Mom said it is for dessert. We have to wait," Ben said. + +But Lily was naughty. She did not listen to Ben. She took the melon and ran away. Ben chased her, but he was too slow. + +Lily ran to the swing and put the melon on the seat. She pushed the swing hard. The melon flew in the air. It flew over the fence and landed on the neighbor's roof. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. + +"Uh-oh," Ben said. + +The neighbor was angry. He came out and shouted. "Who threw this melon on my roof? It made a big mess. It is not nice to be naughty!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They ran back to the house and hid under the bed. They hoped Mom would not find out. They learned their lesson. They should not be naughty and play with the melon. They should wait for dessert. +Lila and Ben were twins who lived in a small village. They liked to play outside with their dog, Spot. One day, they saw a big car drive into the village. It was shiny and expensive. They had never seen such a car before. + +"Who is in the car?" Lila asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone important," Ben said. + +They followed the car to the village hall, where the mayor was waiting. The car stopped and a man got out. He wore a suit and a hat. He looked very rich and proud. He walked to the mayor and shook his hand. + +"Hello, I am Mr. Smith. I am here to buy your village," he said. + +The mayor looked surprised and scared. He did not want to sell his village. He loved his village and the people who lived there. He did not know what to say. + +Lila and Ben did not like Mr. Smith. He was rude and greedy. They wanted to stop him from buying their village. They had an idea. They ran to the car and opened the door. Spot jumped in and started to bark and bite the seats. The car was not shiny and expensive anymore. It was dirty and torn. + +Mr. Smith heard the noise and turned around. He saw his car and his face turned red. He was very angry.

He thinks it is his new toy," Lila said. + +"Yeah, he likes to play with expensive things," Ben said. + +Mr. Smith gave up and got back in his car. He drove away fast. He did not want to buy the village anymore. He did not like the village or the twins or the dog. + +The mayor, Lila, Ben and Spot were happy. They had saved their village. They hugged and cheered. They did not need a big car or a lot of money. They had each other and their village. That was enough. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big frog near the pond. They want to catch it. + +"Look, a frog!" Anna says. "Let's hop like a frog and get closer." + +"OK, let's hop!" Ben says. They hop, hop, hop towards the frog. The frog sees them and hops away. + +"Come back, frog!" Anna and Ben shout. They hop faster and faster. They do not see the big rock in front of them. + +CRASH!

"Frogs are mean!" + +They are not grateful for the frog. They are angry and sad. They wish they did not hop like a frog today. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big cable on the ground. It is black and thick and long. + +"Look, a snake!" Tom says. He runs to the cable and steps on it. + +"No, Tom, don't!" Lily says. She is scared. She thinks the cable is alive and can bite. + +But the cable does not move. It is not a snake. It is a cable for the lights. Tom laughs. + +"It is not a snake, Lily. It is a cable. See?" He lifts the cable and shows it to Lily. + +Lily comes closer and touches the cable. It is cold and hard. She feels silly. + +"Oh, it is a cable," she says. "I was wrong. It is not alive." + +Tom and Lily smile. They are not afraid anymore. They are friends. + +They find a lively game to play with the cable. They swing it and jump over it and make shapes with it. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Sue like to play with their toys. They have a big box of cars, dolls, blocks and books. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they fight. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a small machine that can record sounds. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Tom says. "Let me try it!" + +He takes the machine and pushes a button. He makes a loud noise with his mouth. "Vroom, vroom, vroom!" He pushes another button and the machine plays back his noise. "Vroom, vroom, vroom!" + +"Hey, that's my noise!" Sue says. "Give me the machine!" + +She tries to grab the machine from Tom, but he holds it tight. They pull and tug and yell. The machine falls to the floor and breaks. A small cut appears on Tom's hand. He cries. + +"Look what you did!" Sue says. "You broke the machine and hurt yourself!" + +She feels bad for Tom. She gets a band-aid and puts it on his cut. She says sorry. + +"I'm sorry too," Tom says. "I should have let you try the machine. It was not nice to keep it for myself." + +They hug and make up. They decide to play with their other toys and share. They learn that it is better to be kind and fair than to be greedy and mean. +Anna was a wealthy girl who had many toys and clothes. She liked to play in her big garden, but she did not like to share with anyone. She was selfish and rude to other children. + +One day, she saw a shiny red ball in the grass. She ran to get it, but she did not see the snake that lay near the ball. The snake was angry and bit her on the leg. Anna screamed and cried. + +Her mother heard her and came to help. She saw the snake and the ball and understood what happened. She took Anna to the doctor, who gave her medicine and a bandage. He said she would be fine, but she had to rest and be careful. + +"Mommy, why did the snake bite me?" Anna asked. + +"Because you were greedy and did not look where you were going," her mother said. "The ball was not yours, it belonged to the boy next door. He lost it yesterday and was looking for it. You should have asked him before taking it." + +Anna felt sorry and ashamed. She realized she had been wrong and hurtful. She decided to change her ways and be more kind and generous. She gave the ball back to the boy and apologized. She also shared her toys and clothes with other children who had less. She made many friends and was happier. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and selfish, or you might get into trouble. Be kind and generous, and you will have more joy and peace. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to collect things. They had a big box where they put all the things they found. One day, they went outside to look for more things. It was very cold and the ground was icy. + +"Look, Ben, I found a shiny rock!" Lily said, holding a smooth pebble in her hand. + +"Wow, that's pretty! Can I see?" Ben asked, reaching for the rock. + +"No, it's mine! I found it first!" Lily said, pulling the rock away. + +"But I want to see it too! You have to share!" Ben said, trying to grab the rock. + +They both tugged at the rock and started to argue. They did not see the ice on the ground. They slipped and fell, and the rock flew out of their hands. It landed far away in the snow. + +"Ow, that hurt!" Lily said, rubbing her knee. + +"Ow, me too!" Ben said, rubbing his elbow. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They did not want to fight over a rock. They wanted to be friends. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. You can have the rock," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was mean too. You can see the rock," Lily said. + +They hugged and got up. They looked for the rock, but they could not find it. It was buried in the snow. + +"Maybe we can find it later, when the snow melts," Lily said. + +"Maybe. Or maybe we can find something else to collect," Ben said. + +They smiled and walked back to their box. They decided to collect some pine cones and leaves instead. They had fun and forgot about the rock. They were happy to be friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with a track on it. The track was for trains that carried people and things. Tim and Sam wanted to climb the hill and see the trains up close. + +They ran to the hill and started to climb. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stay away from the track. They did not see the sign, that said "Danger, do not climb". They only wanted to have fun. + +But when they reached the top of the hill, they heard a loud noise. It was a train, coming fast on the track. Tim and Sam were scared. They tried to get off the track, but they slipped and fell. The train was very close. It was very noisy. It honked its horn. + +Tim and Sam closed their eyes and cried. They thought they were going to get hit by the train. But then, they felt someone grab them and pull them away. It was their mom, who had followed them and saw them in trouble. She saved them from the train. + +Tim and Sam hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They learned a lesson. They learned to listen to their mom and to obey the signs. They learned that the track was not a place to play. They learned that climbing can be dangerous. They learned to be careful and safe. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they want the same toy. Then they fight. + +One day, Mom gives them a big box. She says it is a gift for both of them. She tells them to wrap it with paper and ribbon. She says they can open it on their birthday. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They find some paper and ribbon. They work together to wrap the box. They make a big bow on top. They are proud of their work. + +But then, Anna sees a small box on the table. It has her name on it. She opens it. Inside is a pair of earrings. They are shiny and pretty. Anna loves them. She puts them on her ears. + +Ben sees Anna's earrings. He feels envious. He wants earrings too. He says to Anna, "Why do you have earrings and I don't? That's not fair!" + +Anna says to Ben, "Mom gave them to me. She said they are for girls. You are a boy. You don't need earrings." + +Ben says to Anna, "But I like earrings. They are shiny and pretty. I want them too!" + +Anna says to Ben, "No, you can't have them. They are mine. Go away!" + +Ben is angry. He tries to grab Anna's earrings. Anna screams. She pushes Ben away. They start to fight. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says to them, "Stop fighting! What is going on here?" + +Anna and Ben tell Mom what happened. Mom says to them, "You should not be envious of each other. You should be happy for each other. You are twins. You are lucky to have each other. You should share and care for each other." + +Mom says to Anna, "You can keep your earrings. They are a special gift for you. But you should not show off or tease your brother. You should be kind and gentle to him." + +Mom says to Ben, "You can't have earrings. They are not for boys. But you have something else that is special for you. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben nods. Mom takes him to the big box. She says to him, "This is your gift. You can open it now." + +Ben opens the box. Inside is a train set. It has many tracks and cars and a controller. Ben loves it. He says to Mom, "Wow! Thank you, Mom! This is awesome!" + +Mom says to Ben, "You're welcome, Ben. This is for you. But you can also play with it with your sister. You can have fun together." + +Ben says to Mom, "OK, Mom. I will share it with Anna. I'm sorry I fought with her." + +Mom says to Ben, "That's good, Ben. I'm proud of you." + +Mom says to Anna and Ben, "Now, why don't you hug and make up? Then you can play with your gifts. And don't forget to say thank you to each other." + +Anna and Ben hug and say sorry and thank you to each other. They are happy again. They play with their gifts. They share and care for each other. Mom smiles and watches them. She is happy too. +Mia and Ben like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs. Mia likes the sunflowers. They are big and yellow. Ben likes the ladybugs. They are red and black. + +One day, Mia and Ben find a sunflower that is very tall. They want to see it better. They stand on their toes and stretch their arms. But they are too small. The sunflower is too high. + +Mia has an idea. She sees a stick on the ground. She picks it up and gives it to Ben. She says, "Poke the sunflower with the stick. Maybe it will bend down." + +Ben takes the stick and pokes the sunflower. He pokes it gently. He does not want to hurt it. The sunflower moves a little. Ben pokes it again. The sunflower moves more. Ben pokes it one more time. The sunflower bends down and smiles at them. + +Mia and Ben are happy. They see the sunflower's face. It is light and bright. They see the sunflower's seeds. They are brown and round. They see a bee on the sunflower. It is yellow and fuzzy. They say hello to the sunflower, the seeds and the bee. The sunflower, the seeds and the bee say hello back. Mia and Ben laugh and hug the sunflower. They are friends. +Lily was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play with her drum. She liked to make loud noises with it. She liked to bang it with her hands and her feet. + +But Mom said no. Mom said it was time to nap. Mom said she needed to be quiet. Mom said she would send her to her room if she did not listen. + +Lily was angry. She did not like Mom's words. She did not like to nap. She did not like to be quiet. She wanted to play with her drum. + +She had an idea. She took her drum and ran to the door. She opened it and ran outside. She ran to the street. She saw a big truck. She saw a man in the truck. She waved to the man. She said, "Hello, mister. Do you want my drum?" + +The man was surprised. He stopped the truck. He looked at Lily. He said, "What are you doing here, little girl? Where is your mom?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Mom is inside. She wants me to nap. She wants me to be quiet. She wants to send me to my room. But I don't want to. I want to play with my drum. Do you want my drum?" + +The man shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I don't want your drum. But you should go back to your mom. She must be worried about you. It is not safe to be in the street. You could get hurt." + +Lily frowned. She said, "But I don't want to go back. I don't want to nap. I don't want to be quiet. I want to play with my drum." + +The man sighed. He said, "I understand. But you have to listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. She loves you. She wants you to be happy and healthy. Maybe you can play with your drum later, when you wake up. Maybe you can play with me, too. I have a horn in my truck. We can make loud noises together. How does that sound?" + +Lily thought about it. She liked the man. He was nice. He had a horn. She liked loud noises. She said, "OK. That sounds fun. But can I keep my drum?" + +The man nodded. He said, "Of course. It is your drum. You can keep it. But you have to go back to your mom now. She must be looking for you. Come on, I'll take you to her." + +He took Lily's hand and her drum. He walked with her to the door. He knocked on the door. Mom opened it. She saw Lily and the man. She saw the drum. She was scared and angry and happy. She said, "Lily, where have you been? I was so worried about you. How did you get outside? Who is this man?" + +Lily hugged Mom. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was restless. I wanted to play with my drum. I ran outside. I met this man. He has a truck. He has a horn. He is nice. He brought me back to you. He said I can play with him later. He said I can keep my drum." + +Mom looked at the man. She said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you for bringing her back. Thank you for being nice. I'm sorry for the trouble. She is very restless. She does not like to nap. She does not like to be quiet. She likes to play with her drum." + +The man smiled. He said, "You're welcome, ma'am. It's no trouble. She is very cute. She is very brave. She likes to make loud noises. She likes to play with her drum. I like her. I like her drum. Maybe we can play together later. Maybe we can make loud noises together. Maybe we can be friends." + +Mom smiled, too. She said, "Maybe we can. Maybe we can be friends. But first, she needs to nap. She needs to be quiet. She needs to rest. Can you help me with that?" + +The man nodded. He said, "Sure. I can help you with that. Come on, Lily. Let's go to your room. Let's put your drum away. Let's lie down. Let's close our eyes. Let's nap. It will be good for you. It will be good for me. It will be good for Mom. And when we wake up, we can play. We can play with your drum. We can play with my horn. We can make loud noises. We can have fun. How does that sound?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK. That sounds good. But can I keep +Tom and Lily wanted to fly a plane. They had a toy plane that they could push and make sounds. But they wanted a real plane that could go up in the sky. They asked their dad, who was a pilot, to take them to the airport. + +"Please, dad, can we fly with you?" they begged. + +"Sorry, kids, you are too little to fly a plane. It is not safe. You have to wait until you are bigger and learn a lot of things," dad said. + +Tom and Lily were sad. They did not want to wait. They wanted to fly now. They saw a small plane parked near the fence. It looked like their toy plane, but bigger. They had an idea. + +"Let's go to that plane and fly it ourselves," Tom whispered to Lily. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet and fast," Lily whispered back. + +They ran to the plane and climbed inside. They saw a lot of buttons and levers and wheels. They did not know what they did, but they wanted to try. They pushed and pulled and turned everything they could. + +Suddenly, the plane started to move. It made a loud noise and rolled on the ground. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know how to stop it. They saw dad running after them, waving his arms. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" dad shouted. "You are in big trouble!" + +But the plane did not stop. It went faster and faster. It reached the end of the runway and lifted off the ground. Tom and Lily screamed. They were flying! + +Dad was shocked. He could not believe what he saw. He ran to the control tower and grabbed a radio. He tried to talk to Tom and Lily. + +"Tom, Lily, can you hear me? This is dad. You have to land the plane right now. It is very dangerous. You could crash or get lost or hit another plane. Please, listen to me and do what I say," dad said. + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They refused to land the plane. They thought it was fun and exciting. They felt mighty and brave. They flew over the clouds and the trees and the houses. They saw birds and cars and people. They laughed and cheered. + +They did not know that they were in big trouble. They did not know that the plane was running out of fuel. They did not know that they had to land soon or they would fall. They did not know that dad was very worried and angry. They did not know that flying a plane was not a game. They did not know that they made a big mistake. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that looked very fun. But there was a boy on top of the slide who did not let anyone else go on it. He had a stick in his hand and he said it was his weapon. He said he was the king of the slide and everyone else had to obey him. + +Lily and Max did not like the boy. They wanted to go on the slide too. They thought the boy was mean and silly. They decided to dare him to share the slide. They walked up to him and said, "Hey, you are not the king of the slide. You are just a boy with a stick. We want to go on the slide too. Can you please move and let us have a turn?" + +The boy did not like what Lily and Max said. He felt angry and scared. He did not want to share the slide. He thought his stick was a fancy weapon that made him powerful. He waved his stick at Lily and Max and said, "No, you cannot go on the slide. This is my slide and my weapon. If you come near me, I will hit you with my weapon. Go away or else!" + +Lily and Max did not go away. They were not afraid of the boy or his stick. They knew his stick was not a real weapon. They knew he was just a bully who wanted to keep the slide for himself. They said, "Your stick is not a weapon. It is just a stick. You cannot hit us with your stick. That is not nice. You have to share the slide with everyone. That is the rule of the park. If you do not share, we will tell the teacher." + +The boy did not want to tell the teacher. He knew the teacher would be mad at him for being mean and selfish. He knew the teacher would make him give up the slide and his stick. He did not want to lose his slide and his stick. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "Okay, okay, I will share the slide. I am sorry for being mean and silly. You can have a turn on the slide. And you can have my stick too. It is not a fancy weapon. It is just a stick." + +Lily and Max were happy. They thanked the boy for sharing the slide and his stick. They said, "That is very nice of you. We are sorry for daring you. We just wanted to have some fun. You can have some fun too. You can join us on the slide. And you can use your stick as something else. Maybe a sword or a wand or a flute. It can be anything you want. It can be a fancy toy." + +The boy was happy too. He smiled and nodded. He said, "Yes, yes, I will join you on the slide. And I will use my stick as something else. Maybe a sword or a wand or a flute. It can be anything I want. It can be a fancy toy. Thank you for being nice and friendly. You are good friends. Can we play together?" + +Lily and Max said, "Yes, yes, we can play together. You are a good friend too. Come on, let's go on the slide. It is very fun. And then we can play with your stick. It is a fancy toy." + +And so they did. They went on the slide and they played with the stick. They had a lot of fun. They learned to share and to be kind. They became good friends. And they lived happily ever after. The end. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They loved to watch the fountain that sprayed water high in the air. Sometimes they would run around it and pretend to be fish or birds. + +One day, they saw a little duckling near the fountain. It was alone and looked sad. Anna and Ben felt sorry for it and wanted to help. + +"Hello, little duckling," Anna said. "Why are you here by yourself? Where is your mommy?" + +The duckling quacked softly and shook its head. It did not know where its mommy was. It had lost her in the big pond and could not find her. + +Anna and Ben were compassionate. They knew how scary it was to be lost. They decided to comfort the duckling and keep it company. + +"Don't worry, little duckling," Ben said. "We will stay with you until your mommy comes back. We can play with you and share our snacks with you. You are not alone." + +The duckling smiled and nodded. It felt better with Anna and Ben. They were kind and friendly. They played with the duckling and gave it some bread crumbs and water. They also sang a song to cheer it up. + +Soon, they heard a loud quack from the pond. It was the duckling's mommy. She had been looking for her baby and had finally found it. She was so happy and relieved. + +The duckling ran to its mommy and hugged her. It thanked Anna and Ben for being so nice and helping it. Anna and Ben were happy too. They had made a new friend and had done a good deed. + +They waved goodbye to the duckling and its mommy and went back to their own mommy, who was waiting for them on a bench. They told her what had happened and how they had comforted the duckling. Their mommy was proud of them and hugged them. + +They had a good day at the park. They learned that being compassionate was a good thing and that helping others made them happy. They also learned that the fountain was a magical place where they could find adventure and friendship. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. But they do not like to bathe. They think it is boring and cold. + +One day, Mom says, "It is time to bathe, Tom and Lily. You are dirty and smelly. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +Tom and Lily say, "No, Mom, we do not want to bathe. We want to play more. Please, Mom, just a little more." + +Mom says, "No, you have to bathe now. You can play later. If you do not bathe, you cannot have dessert. Do you want dessert?" + +Tom and Lily love dessert. They love cake and ice cream and cookies. They look at each other and nod. They say, "OK, Mom, we will bathe. But can we bathe with Spot?" + +Mom says, "No, you cannot bathe with Spot. Spot is a dog. He has his own bath. You have to bathe in the tub. Come on, I will help you." + +Tom and Lily are sad. They want to bathe with Spot. They think it would be fun and funny. They follow Mom to the bathroom, but they are very slow. They drag their feet and make faces. They hope Mom will change her mind. + +But Mom does not change her mind. She fills the tub with warm water and bubbles. She says, "Look, Tom and Lily, the water is nice and the bubbles are pretty. Don't you want to bathe?" + +Tom and Lily look at the water and the bubbles. They see their toys in the tub. They see a duck and a boat and a fish. They think maybe bathing is not so bad. They say, "OK, Mom, we will bathe. But can we bathe fast?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can bathe fast. But you have to wash your hair and your body and your teeth. And you have to be careful and not splash too much. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Lily say, "Yes, Mom, we can do that."

It had towers and bridges and gardens and animals. She decided that she wanted to live in that castle, and she told her parents. + +"No, Lily, you cannot live in that castle," her father, the king, said. "That castle belongs to another kingdom, and it is very far away. You have a beautiful palace here, and you should be grateful for what you have." + +But Lily did not listen. She threw the book on the floor and stamped her feet. "I want that castle! I want that castle!" she demanded. "You are bad parents! You don't love me!" + +Her mother, the queen, tried to calm her down. "Lily, please, don't be so angry. We love you very much, but you cannot have everything you want.

She packed some of her things in a bag and sneaked out of the palace. She thought she could find the castle by herself, and live there happily ever after. + +She walked and walked for a long time, but she did not see the castle. She only saw trees and rocks and dirt.

One day, they find a big van in the park. The van is red and shiny. It has a sign that says "Actors Wanted". + +"Wow, look at that van!" Tom says. "Do you think we can go inside?" + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe it is not for us." + +But Tom is curious. He runs to the van and opens the door. He sees a lot of costumes and props inside. He picks up a hat and a sword. + +"Come on, Sam, let's act!" he says. "We can be pirates or knights or cowboys!" + +Sam is scared. He thinks they are doing something wrong. He stays outside the van. + +"Tom, we should not be here," he says. "This is not our van. We should go back to our toys." + +But Tom does not listen. He puts on the hat and the sword. He pretends to fight with an invisible enemy. + +"Arrr, matey, I am the captain of this ship!" he says. "You will walk the plank!" + +Sam hears a voice behind him. He turns around and sees a man. The man is angry. He is the owner of the van. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing in my van?" he says. "This is not a playground. This is my work. Get out of here!" + +Sam is sorry. He tells the truth. + +"Sir, we are sorry," he says. "We were just playing. We did not mean to bother you." + +The man looks at Sam. He sees that he is honest. He is not so angry anymore. + +"It's okay, kid," he says. "I know you were just having fun. But you should not go into other people's vans. It is not safe. And you should always ask before you touch anything." + +Sam nods. He understands. He goes to the van and calls Tom. + +"Tom, we have to go," he says. "The man is here. He is not happy." + +Tom hears Sam. He sees the man. He is afraid. He drops the hat and the sword. He runs out of the van. + +"Sorry, sir, sorry!" he says. + +The man shakes his head. He is not impressed by Tom. + +"You should be more careful, kid," he says. "And you should be more honest, like your friend. Honesty is important for actors. And for everyone." + +Tom and Sam feel bad. They apologize again. They go back to their toys. They learn a lesson. They decide to be more honest and respectful. And they never go into other people's vans again. +Sara likes to design things with her crayons and paper. She draws houses, flowers, animals and people. She likes to make them look pretty and colorful. Sometimes she gives them to her mom and dad as gifts. + +One day, Sara decides to design a loop. A loop is a shape that goes round and round, like a circle or an oval. Sara thinks loops are fun and easy to draw. She takes a big sheet of paper and a blue crayon. She starts to draw a loop on the paper, but she does not stop. She keeps drawing the loop bigger and bigger, until it fills the whole paper. + +"Look, mom, I made a loop!" Sara says, holding up her paper. + +"Wow, that's a very big loop, Sara!" her mom says, smiling. "What are you going to do with it?" + +"I don't know, mom. Maybe I can make it into something else. Do you have any ideas?" Sara asks. + +Her mom thinks for a moment. Then she says, "How about we cut out the loop and make it into a necklace? You can wear it around your neck and show it to your friends." + +Sara likes that idea. She gets a pair of scissors and carefully cuts out the loop. Her mom helps her make a small hole in the loop and ties a string through it. Sara puts the loop necklace around her neck and looks in the mirror. + +"I love it, mom! It's so pretty and blue!" Sara says, admiring her design. + +"I love it too, Sara. You are very creative and talented. You made a beautiful loop necklace!" her mom says, hugging her. + +Sara feels happy and proud.

He runs to a car and opens the door. + +"Look, Mia, he has a gun!" Tim says. He points to the shiny thing in the man's hand. + +"What is a gun?" Mia asks. She does not know the word. + +"A gun is a bad thing. It can hurt people. We have to be careful," Tim says. He pulls Mia behind a tree.

Lily was scared, but Tom said it would be fun. He lit the firework and ran away. + +The firework made a loud noise and a bright flash. It also made sparks that flew everywhere. One of the sparks hit Lily in the eye. She screamed and cried. She could not see anything. Tom was shocked and sorry. He ran to Lily and tried to help her. He called for help, but no one answered. He did not know what to do. + +Lily and Tom were alone and hurt. They wished they had never played with the firework. They learned a hard lesson. They should have been more careful and compassionate. They should have asked someone before touching something they did not know. They should have listened to their fear. They should have stayed away from the firework. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be independent and do things by herself. She learned how to serve food on a plate and carry it to the table. She was very careful not to spill or drop anything. + +One day, her mom made a big cake for her dad's birthday. It smelled very good and looked very pretty. Anna wanted to serve a piece of cake to her dad. She asked her mom if she could do it. + +"Sure, you can, Anna. But be very careful, the cake is heavy and the knife is sharp. Do you need my help?" her mom said. + +"No, thank you, mom. I can do it by myself. I am independent," Anna said. She took a plate, a knife and a fork. She cut a big piece of cake and put it on the plate. She held the plate with both hands and walked slowly to the living room. + +She had to cross a long path from the kitchen to the living room.

She was a big girl. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run on the grass. They saw some birds and flowers and said hello to them.

They wanted to play more. They started to cry and whine. + +Mom tried to make them feel better. She said they could play a game on the way home. She said they could clap their hands every time they saw something yellow. Anna and Ben liked this idea. They wiped their tears and nodded. + +They started to walk home and looked for yellow things. They saw a yellow car, a yellow sign, a yellow balloon and a yellow hat. They clapped their hands loudly and laughed. Mom clapped with them and smiled. + +They reached their home just as it started to rain. They ran inside and closed the door. It was dark outside, but it was bright and warm inside.

They clapped their hands and said yay. +Lily liked to do many things. She liked to play with her toys, to draw with her crayons, to sing with her mom, and to read with her dad. But her favorite thing to do was to cook with her grandma. Grandma knew how to make many yummy things, like cakes, pies, soups, and salads. Lily loved to help her in the kitchen. + +One day, Grandma said, "Lily, today we are going to make something special. We are going to make shrimp. Do you know what shrimp are?" + +Lily shook her head. She had never seen shrimp before. + +"Shrimp are small animals that live in the water. They have tails, legs, and shells. They are pink when they are cooked. They are very tasty. Some people say they are famous. Do you want to try them?" + +Lily nodded. She was curious about shrimp. She wanted to taste something famous. + +Grandma showed her how to peel the shells, wash the shrimp, and season them with salt, pepper, and lemon. Then she put them in a big pan with butter and garlic. They sizzled and smelled good. + +"Can I help you stir them, Grandma?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, my dear. Here, take this spoon and be careful. It is hot." + +Lily took the spoon and stirred the shrimp gently. She felt proud to help Grandma. She watched as the shrimp turned pink and curled up. + +"They are ready, Lily. Let's put them on a plate and share them with the family." + +Lily and Grandma carried the plate of shrimp to the table, where Mom, Dad, and Grandpa were waiting. They all smiled and clapped. + +"Wow, Grandma, these shrimp look delicious. And Lily, you did a great job. You are a wonderful helper," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. I like to cook with Grandma. She teaches me many things. And I like shrimp. They are famous and yummy," Lily said. + +She took a bite of a shrimp and smiled. She was happy. She had learned something new and made something special. She had done something with Grandma. She had done something good. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big rope hanging from a tree. It looked like fun. + +"Let's swing on the rope!" Tim said. + +"OK!" Mia said. + +They ran to the rope and took turns to swing. They felt like they were flying in the air. + +But the rope was old and weak. It had a small tear that Tim and Mia did not see. It was about to break. + +A man was walking his dog in the park.

They hugged each other and limped back to their parents. + +They never swung on a rope again. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it. + +"Let's go up the hill!" Tom says. "Maybe we can see the whole park from there." + +"OK!" Anna says. "But be careful. The hill is steep and rocky." + +They hold hands and start to climb. They step on the rocks and the dirt. They hear sounds of birds and bugs. They see flowers and trees. + +They are almost at the top when they hear a loud sound. It is a roar. They look up and see a big lion. The lion is angry. It has sharp teeth and claws. + +"Run!" Tom says. "The lion is bad. It can hurt us." + +They turn around and run down the hill. They step fast and hard. They hear the lion behind them. It is chasing them. + +They reach the bottom of the hill. They see a fence. They run to the fence and climb over it. They are safe. + +They look back and see the lion. It is still on the hill. It cannot climb the fence. It roars again and then walks away. + +Tom and Anna hug each other. They are scared but happy. + +"That was a great adventure!" Tom says. "But I don't want to climb that hill again." + +"Me neither!" Anna says. "Let's go play on the swings instead." +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to travel to different places. They go to the zoo, the park, the beach and the museum. They learn many things from their trips. + +One day, they want to travel to the farm. They ask their teacher if they can go with the class. The teacher says yes, but they have to be reliable. They have to listen, follow the rules and stay with the group. + +Tom and Sue are happy. They promise to be reliable. They get on the bus with the class. They see cows, pigs, chickens and horses. They feed the animals and pet them. They have fun. + +But then, Tom sees a big tractor. He likes tractors. He wants to ride it. He forgets his promise. He runs to the tractor. He climbs on it. He pushes the buttons. + +Sue sees Tom. She is worried. She knows he is not being reliable. She calls him. "Tom, come back! You are not supposed to go there. You are breaking the rules. You are not staying with the group. You are not being a good friend." + +Tom hears Sue. He feels bad. He knows she is right. He gets off the tractor. He runs back to Sue. He says sorry. He says he will be reliable from now on. + +The teacher sees Tom and Sue. She is glad they are safe.

They have a good time at the farm. They are happy and reliable. +Ben and Lily are playing with blocks. They want to make a big network of roads and bridges for their cars and trains. They put many blocks together and stand them up. + +"Look, Lily, this is a tall bridge!" Ben says, pointing to his block tower. + +"Wow, Ben, that is very good!" Lily says. "Can I put my car on it?" + +"Sure, Lily, but be gentle. The bridge might fall down if you push too hard." Ben says. + +Lily nods and puts her car on the bridge. She moves it slowly and carefully. She likes the sound it makes on the blocks. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Rex. He runs into the room and sees the blocks. He thinks they are toys for him. He jumps and barks and tries to grab them. + +"Rex, no!" Ben and Lily shout. "Stop, Rex, stop!" + +But Rex does not listen. He knocks down the bridge and the blocks. The car falls to the floor. Ben and Lily are sad and angry. They love Rex, but he is not gentle. He is naughty. + +"Bad dog, Rex!" Ben says. "You broke our network!" + +"Go away, Rex!" Lily says. "You made a mess!" + +Rex looks at them with his big eyes. He does not understand why they are mad. He thinks he was playing with them. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +"Sorry, Rex, we are not happy with you." Ben says. "You have to be gentle with our blocks. They are not for you." + +"Maybe you can play with your own toy." Lily says. "Here, Rex, this is your ball. You can chase it and catch it." + +They throw the ball for Rex. He runs after it and brings it back. He is happy. He likes the ball. He likes Ben and Lily. He wants to be gentle with them. + +Ben and Lily smile. They forgive Rex. They know he did not mean to be bad. They hug him and pet him. They still love Rex. He is their dog. + +They decide to build their network again. They pick up the blocks and stand them up. They make sure Rex does not touch them. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She made pictures of her family, her dog, and her toys. She also liked to draw flowers, stars, and hearts. She used many colors, but her favorite was pink. + +One day, she decided to make a special picture for her grandma, who lived far away. She drew a big pink heart and wrote "I love you" with her best letters. She asked her mom to help her mail the picture to grandma. Mom put the picture in an envelope, wrote grandma's address, and put a stamp on it. Then they went to the mailbox and dropped the envelope inside. + +A few days later, Lily got a surprise in the mail. It was a letter from grandma! Lily opened the envelope and saw a picture of grandma smiling and holding a pink flower. She also saw a note that said "I love you too, Lily. Thank you for your beautiful picture. It made me very happy." Lily felt warm and happy too. She hugged the letter and ran to show mom. + +But there was something else in the envelope. It was a small, shiny, unknown thing. Lily did not know what it was. It looked like a star, but it was not a crayon. It was hard and cold and had a hole in it. Lily wondered what it was for. She asked mom. + +Mom smiled and said, "That is a charm, Lily. Grandma sent it to you as a gift. You can put it on a necklace or a bracelet and wear it. It is a way of saying that grandma loves you and thinks of you." Mom helped Lily put the charm on a pink string and tied it around her neck. Lily looked at the charm and felt happy. She said, "Thank you, grandma. I love you and think of you too." She kissed the charm and the letter and put them in a safe place. She hoped to see grandma soon. +Lily liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang to her toys, her mom, and her dad. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. + +One day, Lily found a new toy in her room. It was a little bird that could sing too. It had soft feathers and a shiny beak. Lily touched the bird and felt its texture. She liked how it felt. She pressed a button and the bird sang a song. Lily sang along. + +Lily and the bird became friends. They sang together every day.

It was very deep and had a zipper. She liked to put things in her pocket and zip it up. + +One day, she found a shiny stone on the ground. It was smooth and round and sparkled in the sun. She picked it up and put it in her pocket. She zipped it up and smiled. She wanted to show it to her mom. + +She ran to the bench where her mom was reading a book. "Mom, mom, look what I found!" she said. She unzipped her pocket and reached in. But she felt nothing. Her pocket was empty. She looked inside and saw a hole. The stone had fallen out. + +"Oh, no, where is it?" she cried. She looked around, but she could not see it. She felt sad and angry. She had lost her unique stone. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. It was a beautiful stone. But don't worry, you can find another one. There are many stones in the park. Maybe you can find one that is even more unique and shiny." + +Anna nodded and wiped her tears. She still wanted her stone, but she also wanted to find a new one. She said, "OK, mom. Let's go look for more stones. But this time, I will hold them in my hand. I don't trust my pocket anymore." +Tom and Sue were a rich man and his wife. They had a big house, a nice car, and many toys. They liked to show off their things to other people. They did not share or help anyone who was poor or sad. + +One day, Tom and Sue went to a big party. They wore fancy clothes and jewels. They laughed and danced and ate a lot of cake. They did not care about anyone else at the party. They only cared about themselves. + +But while they were having fun, a bad man came to their house. He saw their big house, their nice car, and their many toys. He wanted to take them all for himself. He set a fire in their house. He broke their car. He stole their toys. He ran away with a big bag. + +When Tom and Sue came back from the party, they saw their house on fire, their car broken, and their toys gone. They cried and screamed and called for help. But no one came to help them. No one liked them or felt sorry for them. They had been mean and selfish to everyone. They had no friends. + +Tom and Sue lost everything they had. They were not rich anymore. They were poor and sad. They learned a hard lesson. But it was too late. The end. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play together in the park, in the sandbox, and on the swings. One day, they decided to explore the old house at the end of the street. They heard that it was haunted by a ghost. + +"Are you scared, Lily?" Tom asked as they walked towards the house. + +"No, I'm not scared. Are you scared, Tom?" Lily replied. + +"No, I'm not scared. Ghosts are not real. They are just stories." Tom said. + +They reached the door of the house and pushed it open. It was dark and dusty inside. They saw cobwebs, broken furniture, and old paintings. They walked around, looking for the ghost. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from upstairs. It sounded like a scream. + +"Did you hear that, Lily?" Tom asked, grabbing Lily's hand. + +"Yes, I heard that, Tom. Maybe it's the ghost!" Lily said, feeling her heart beat fast. + +They ran towards the stairs, hoping to find a way out. But as they reached the top, they saw a man standing in front of them. He had a white sheet over his head, with holes for his eyes and mouth. He was holding a flashlight and a bag of candy. + +"Boo!" he shouted, waving his arms. + +Lily and Tom screamed and turned around, but they bumped into another man. He had a pumpkin mask on his face, and a basket of apples. + +"Ha ha ha!" he laughed, showing his teeth. + +Lily and Tom were trapped. They were so scared, they started to cry. + +"Please, don't hurt us! We're sorry, we didn't mean to come here!" they begged. + +The men looked at each other and took off their costumes. They were not ghosts, they were Lily's and Tom's dads. They had planned a surprise for them, to teach them a lesson. + +"Surprise!" they said, smiling. + +Lily and Tom stopped crying and looked at their dads. They were confused and angry. + +"Why did you do that? That was not funny, that was mean!" they said. + +"We're sorry, kids. We wanted to show you that you shouldn't go into places you don't know, especially if they are dangerous or scary. You could get hurt, or meet someone who is not nice. You should always listen to us, and stay away from trouble." their dads said. + +Lily and Tom realized that their dads were right. They had been foolish and curious, and they had not followed the rules. They hugged their dads and said they were sorry. + +"We're sorry, dads. We learned our lesson. We won't go into the old house again. We love you." they said. + +"We love you too, kids. We're glad you're safe. Now, let's go home and have some yummy candy and apples. Happy Halloween!" their dads said. + +They walked back to their homes, holding hands. They were happy and relieved. They had faced their fears, and they had learned to be careful and obedient. They also learned that ghosts were not real, but yummy treats were. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest. They had a game where they tried to match the sounds of the animals they heard. They would listen carefully and then make the same noise. + +One day, they heard a loud roar that made them shiver. "What is that?" Lily asked. "I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe a big cat or a bear. Let's try to match it." + +They both opened their mouths wide and roared as loud as they could. They hoped the animal would think they were friends and not hurt them. + +But the animal did not roar back. Instead, it came closer and closer, until they saw its wide eyes and sharp teeth. It was a wolf, and it looked hungry. + +Lily and Ben were scared and ran away. They looked for their mom and dad, who were picking berries nearby. They found them and hugged them tight. + +"Mom, Dad, we heard a wolf in the forest!" Lily said. "We tried to match its roar, but it chased us!" + +Their mom and dad looked surprised and worried. "A wolf? That's very dangerous. You should never try to match a wild animal's sound. They might think you are a threat or a prey. You are lucky you got away." + +They took Lily and Ben by the hand and walked back to their car. They decided to leave the forest and go somewhere safer. They learned a lesson that day: not all sounds are fun to match. +Lila and Sam are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Max. Max is big and brown and soft. He likes to run and jump and lick their faces. + +One day, Lila and Sam find a comb in their mom's drawer. It is shiny and has many teeth. They wonder what it is for. + +"Let's comb Max's fur!"

He has new friends. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big iron in their mom's room. It was shiny and heavy and had a long cord. They wanted to see what it could do. + +"Let's play with the iron!" Lily said. "Maybe it can make our clothes smooth and pretty." + +"No, Lily, we can't!" Tom said. "Mom said the iron is hot and dangerous. It can burn us or make a fire. We have to listen to mom and leave it alone." + +But Lily did not listen to Tom. She was curious and stubborn. She took the iron and plugged it in the wall. She put it on the bed and tried to iron a shirt. She did not know how to use the iron. She moved it too fast and too hard. She made a big hole in the shirt and the bed. She also made a loud noise. + +"What are you doing, Lily?" Mom asked. She came into the room and saw the mess. She was angry and scared. She unplugged the iron and took it away. She checked Lily and Tom for any burns. "You could have hurt yourself or your brother, Lily. Why did you play with the iron? I told you it was not a toy. You have to repeat after me: I will not play with the iron again." + +"I will not play with the iron again," Lily said. She was sorry and sad. She saw the hole in the shirt and the bed. She saw mom's face. She knew she did a bad thing. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. "I won't do it again. I will listen to you and Tom." + +Mom hugged Lily and Tom. She was glad they were safe. She said, "I love you, Lily and Tom. But you have to be careful and obey me. The iron is not for playing. It is for adults only. There are many other toys available for you to play with. Next time, choose a toy that is fun and safe." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "We love you, mom. We will choose a fun and safe toy next time." + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents and don't play with dangerous things. +Tom and Mia are at the zoo with Mom and Dad. They see many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. Tom likes the lions, because they roar loud. Mia likes the monkeys, because they swing and play. + +Then they come to the zebra house. The zebras have black and white stripes, and long tails. Tom and Mia think they are pretty. They want to pick one to take home. + +They ask Mom and Dad if they can have a zebra. Mom and Dad say no, because zebras are big and wild. They need a lot of space and grass to run and eat. They are not pets, like dogs or cats. + +Tom and Mia are sad, but they understand. They say bye to the zebras, and give them a carrot. The zebras munch the carrot and make a funny noise. Tom and Mia laugh, and feel happy again. + +They go to see more animals, and have a fun day at the zoo. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have a big box of cars and trucks. They take them out and make a road on the floor. + +"Look at my red car!" Lily says. "It can zoom very fast. Zoom, zoom, zoom!" + +"I have a blue truck!" Ben says. "It can carry many things. It has thick wheels. Vroom, vroom, vroom!" + +They play and have fun. They make noises and pretend to drive. They laugh and smile. + +But then, Lily sees Ben's blue truck. She wants it. She thinks it is better than her red car. She grabs it from Ben. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Ben says. "Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine now!" Lily says. "I like it more!" + +Ben is sad and angry. He tries to get his truck back. They pull and tug. They shout and cry. + +The truck breaks. It snaps in half. Lily and Ben stop. They look at the broken truck. They feel bad. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily says. "I regret taking your truck. It was not nice." + +"I'm sorry, too, Lily," Ben says. "I regret fighting with you. You are my friend." + +They hug and say sorry. They share their cars and trucks. They play and have fun again. They learn to be kind and fair. +Tom and Sue were playing in the living room. They liked to make forts with the pillows and the blankets. They put some toys and books inside their fort. They felt cozy and happy. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was their big brother, Sam. He was angry. He wanted to watch TV, but Tom and Sue were in his way. He kicked their fort and made it fall down. He threw their toys and books on the floor. He yelled at them to go away. + +Tom and Sue were scared. They ran to the corner and hid behind the sofa. They hugged each other and trembled. They wished their mom or dad would come home soon. They did not like Sam. He was mean and rude. + +Sam did not care. He turned on the TV and sat on the sofa. He saw the carpet was messy. He did not like it. He grabbed a scissors and started to cut the carpet. He made big holes and tears in it. He laughed and said it was fun. + +But then he heard the door open. It was his mom and dad. They saw the living room. They saw the broken fort, the scattered toys and books, and the ruined carpet. They saw Sam with the scissors. They were shocked and angry. They shouted at Sam and took the scissors away. They told him he was in big trouble. They sent him to his room and said he could not watch TV or play for a long time. + +Tom and Sue came out from behind the sofa. They were still scared, but they were also glad. They hugged their mom and dad and told them what Sam did. Their mom and dad said they were sorry and that they loved them. They said they would fix the fort, the toys, the books, and the carpet. They said they would talk to Sam and make him say sorry too. + +But Tom and Sue did not want to talk to Sam. They did not want to play with him ever again. They did not think he was a good brother. They thought he was a bad boy. They wished he would go away. +Tim and Mia are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They are happy and laugh a lot. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is black and loud. The dog runs to the snowman and bites the hat. The dog pulls the scarf. The dog knocks down the snowman. + +Tim and Mia are scared. They cry and shout. "Go away, dog! Leave our snowman alone!" They throw snowballs at the dog, but the dog does not care. + +The dog sees Tim and Mia. The dog wants to play with them. The dog chases them. Tim and Mia run away. They look for a place to hide. + +They see a door. The door says "exit". They open the door and go inside. The door closes behind them. They are safe. + +But the inside is very cold. There is no light and no heat. There are boxes and machines. They do not know where they are. + +They hug each other and shiver. They wish they were back outside with their snowman. They wonder how to escape. +Lily wanted to ride her bike, but she did not know how. She saw her big brother Tom ride his bike very fast and do tricks. She felt sad and angry. She wanted to be like Tom. + +She asked Tom to teach her how to ride her bike. Tom said yes, but he was not very patient. He told her to pedal hard and balance. He pushed her bike and let go. Lily fell down and hurt her knee. She started to cry. + +Tom said, "Don't cry, Lily. You have to try again. It's not easy to ride a bike. You have to practice and learn from your mistakes. That's how you have success." + +Lily wiped her tears and nodded. She wanted to have success. She wanted to ride her bike. She got up and tried again. Tom helped her and cheered her on. He gave her tips and encouragement. + +After a few tries, Lily was able to ride her bike without falling. She felt happy and proud. She thanked Tom for helping her. She said, "You are a good brother, Tom. I am grateful for you. You helped me have success. Can we ride our bikes together?" + +Tom smiled and hugged her. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. I am proud of you. You did a great job. You are a good sister. Yes, we can ride our bikes together. Let's go!" +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build different structures with the blocks, like houses, towers, and bridges. They also liked to knock them down and make loud noises. + +One day, they decided to build a big structure in the living room. They used all the blocks they could find, and made a tall and wide structure that looked like a castle. They were very proud of their work, and wanted to show it to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, look what we made!" they shouted, as they ran to the kitchen. + +Mom came to the living room and saw the structure. She smiled and said, "Wow, that's amazing! You two are very creative and clever. But you know what? You have to be careful with your structure, because it might fall down and hurt someone. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said they understood, and they would not touch the structure or play near it. Mom said she was happy to hear that, and gave them a hug and a kiss. She said she had to go back to the kitchen to finish making lunch, and asked them to play quietly until then. + +Lily and Ben said okay, and went to their room to play with their toys. But after a while, they got bored. They looked at each other, and had a naughty idea. They sneaked back to the living room, and tiptoed to the structure. They thought it would be fun to knock it down and see what would happen. + +They counted to three, and pushed the structure with all their strength. The structure collapsed with a loud crash, and the blocks flew everywhere. Some of the blocks hit the vase on the table, and the vase broke into pieces. Some of the blocks hit the lamp on the floor, and the lamp stopped working. Some of the blocks hit the couch, and the couch got dirty. And some of the blocks hit Lily and Ben, and they got hurt. + +They screamed and cried, and mom heard them. She ran to the living room, and saw the mess. She was very angry and sad. She said, "What did you do? Why did you break your structure and everything else? I told you to be careful and not touch it. You did not listen to me. You did not understand. You were very naughty. Now you have to clean up and say sorry. And you have no more blocks to play with." + +Lily and Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry, and they helped mom clean up. They said they would never be naughty again, and they would always listen to mom. They learned their lesson, and they hugged mom and said they loved her. + +Mom said she loved them too, and she forgave them. She said she hoped they would understand better next time, and she would help them build a new structure later. She said they should always be careful and respectful with their things and their surroundings. She said that was the right thing to do. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were lions and roar at each other. They ran around the trees and the swings, making loud noises. + +"Roar! I'm the king of the jungle!" Ben said. + +"Roar! I'm the queen of the jungle!" Lily said. + +They had a lot of fun, but then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. It wanted to play with them, but Lily and Ben were scared. They ran away from the dog and hid behind a bench. + +"Shh, don't make any sound. The dog might find us," Lily whispered. + +Ben nodded, but he was still nervous. He put his thumb in his mouth and sucked on it. It made him feel better. + +The dog looked for them, but it could not see them. It sniffed the air and the ground, but it could not smell them. It was confused and sad. It wanted to make new friends. + +Lily saw the dog's face. She felt sorry for it. She was smart and brave. She took her thumb out of her mouth and said to Ben, "Maybe the dog is nice. Maybe it just wants to play with us. Let's go and say hello." + +Ben was not sure, but he trusted Lily. He took his thumb out of his mouth and followed her. They came out of their hiding place and walked slowly towards the dog. + +The dog saw them and wagged its tail harder. It barked happily and licked their faces. It was friendly and gentle. Lily and Ben laughed and petted the dog. They made a new friend. + +"Roar! We are the lions of the park!" Lily said. + +"Roar! And this is our lion dog!" Ben said. + +They played with the dog until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the dog and promised to come back soon. They had a great day. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, mom asks them to store some eggs in the fridge. She says, "Be gentle with the eggs. They can break easily." + +Anna and Ben take the eggs from the counter. They walk to the fridge. Anna is careful. She holds the eggs with both hands. She puts them in a tray. Ben is not careful. He holds the eggs with one hand. He tries to run to the fridge. He thinks it is fun. + +But Ben trips on the rug. He falls down. The eggs fall too. They break on the floor. Ben cries. Anna runs to him. She says, "Are you okay, Ben?" + +Ben nods. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry, mom. I was not gentle with the eggs. I made a mess." + +Mom comes to the kitchen. She sees the broken eggs. She is not happy. But she is not angry. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are not hurt. But you need to learn to be gentle with the eggs. They are fragile. They can give us food. We should not waste them." + +Anna and Ben hug mom. They say, "We're sorry, mom. We will be gentle with the eggs next time. We will help you clean the mess." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are good kids. I love you." + +The end. + +Moral value: Be gentle with fragile things. They can be useful and valuable. Do not waste them. +Lia and True are best friends. They like to play together in the park. True is a dog and Lia is a girl. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they find a big ball in the park. It is red and shiny. Lia and True want to play with it. Lia throws the ball and True runs after it. He catches it with his mouth and brings it back to Lia. They do this many times. + +"Good boy, True!" Lia says. "You are very fast and smart. Do you want to try something new?" + +True wags his tail. He likes to learn new things. Lia is very creative. She always has good ideas. + +"OK, watch me," Lia says. She lies down on the grass and rolls over. She laughs. "Can you do that, True?" + +True looks at Lia. He thinks she is funny. He tries to copy her. He lies down on the grass and rolls over. He barks. He likes this game. + +"Yay, True!" Lia says. "You did it! You are very good at rolling. You are the best dog ever!" + +Lia and True hug each other. They are very happy. They keep playing with the ball and rolling on the grass. They have a wonderful time. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. But today, Mom says they have to stay inside. There is a big storm coming. Tom and Lily are restless. They want to run and jump and have fun. + +"Can we watch TV, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"No, TV is not good for you. You can read a book or draw a picture," Mom says. + +"But we are bored, Mom," Lily says. + +Mom sighs. She knows they are bored. She is bored too. She looks outside. The sky is dark and angry. She hears thunder and sees lightning. + +"Maybe we can watch something else," she says. "Come with me." + +She takes Tom and Lily and Spot to the window. She points to the horizon. + +"Look, there is a sunset. Do you see the colors? They are beautiful." + +Tom and Lily and Spot watch the sunset. They see red and orange and yellow and pink. They see the sun go down behind the hills. They see the clouds change shapes. + +"Wow, it is like a painting," Tom says. + +"It is like magic," Lily says. + +Spot barks and wags his tail. + +Mom smiles. She hugs them and says, "It is like a gift. A gift from God. He made the sunset for us to enjoy. He loves us very much." + +Tom and Lily and Spot feel happy and calm. They watch the sunset until it is dark. Then they go to bed and dream of colors. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big, soft bear in the park. It is brown and fuzzy. They want to share the bear. + +"Can I hold the bear first?" Lily asks. + +"OK, but only for a little bit," Ben says. + +Lily hugs the bear and smiles. She likes how it feels. She does not want to give it to Ben. + +"Can I have the bear now?" Ben asks. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily says. + +She pulls the bear away from Ben. Ben pulls the bear back. They both pull hard. The bear starts to tear. They hear a rip. + +"Stop! You are hurting the bear!" Ben says. + +But Lily does not stop. She pulls harder. The bear tears more. They hear a pop. The bear's head falls off. Stuffing comes out. + +Lily and Ben look at the bear. They feel sad. They broke the bear. They can't play with it anymore. They can't share it either. They start to cry. + +They wish they had been nice to the bear and to each other. But it is too late. The bear is gone. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play with toys and books. They have a big clock in their room. The clock tells them when to wake up and when to go to bed. + +One day, Tim has a bad idea. He wants to play more and sleep less. He says to Jen, "Let's set the clock to a different time. Then we can fool Mom and Dad and stay up late." + +Jen is not sure. She says, "But that is not right. Mom and Dad know what is best for us. We need to sleep well to grow and learn." + +Tim does not listen. He is flexible. He can reach the clock and change the time. He sets the clock to one hour later. He says, "Now we can play more. Mom and Dad will not know." + +Jen is scared. She says, "I don't want to do this. I want to follow the rules. I don't want to get in trouble." + +But Tim does not care. He says, "Don't be a baby. It will be fun. Come on, let's play." + +They play with their toys and books. They make a lot of noise. They forget about the clock. + +But Mom and Dad hear them. They come to their room. They see the clock. They are angry. They say, "What have you done? You set the clock to the wrong time. You are not supposed to do that. You are supposed to sleep. You are being naughty." + +Tim and Jen are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We wanted to play more. We did not mean to be naughty." + +But Mom and Dad are not happy. They say, "You have to learn to respect the rules. You have to learn to be honest. You have to learn to be responsible. You have to face the consequences. You are grounded. No more toys and books for a week. Go to bed now." + +Tim and Jen cry. They go to bed. They are sad. They wish they had not set the clock to the wrong time. They wish they had listened to Jen. They wish they had been good. + +The moral of the story is: Do not lie or cheat. Follow the rules. Be honest and responsible. Or you will face the consequences. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a stand with toys and books. They sell them to other kids for one coin each. + +One day, a nosy boy comes to their stand. He looks at their toys and books. He does not ask or say anything. He just takes a toy car and runs away. + +"Hey, that is not nice!" Lily shouts. "Give it back!" + +Tom runs after the boy. He tries to catch him. But the boy is fast. He goes to the other side of the park. + +Lily is sad. She misses her toy car. It is her favorite. She waits for Tom to come back. + +Soon, Tom comes back. He has the toy car in his hand. He gives it to Lily. + +"I got it!" he says. "I found the boy and told him to give it back. He was sorry. He said he just liked the car." + +Lily is happy. She hugs Tom. She thanks him. + +"You are a good friend," she says. "I am glad you did not miss me too much." + +Tom smiles. He says, "I did miss you. But I wanted to help you. You are a good friend too." + +They hug again. They go back to their stand. They hope no more nosy boys will come. They hope more nice kids will come. They have fun playing and selling. They are happy. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big black dog. The dog is very furry and has a long tail. + +"Look, a dog!" Lila says. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is not nice." + +They go closer to the dog. The dog sees them and wags its tail. It makes a happy sound. + +"Hello, dog," Lila says. She reaches out her hand. The dog licks her hand. Lila giggles. + +"Can I pet it too?" Tom asks. + +"Sure," Lila says. "It is a nice dog." + +Tom pets the dog too. The dog likes it. It rolls over and shows its belly. + +"Can we play with it?" Lila asks. + +"Maybe," Tom says. "But we have to ask its owner first." + +They look around. They see a man sitting on a bench. He has a black hat and a black coat. He is reading a book. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lila says. "Is this your dog?" + +The man looks up. He smiles. + +"Yes, it is," he says. "His name is Spot. Do you like him?" + +"Yes, we do," Lila and Tom say. + +"He likes you too," the man says. "You can play with him if you want. He is very friendly." + +"Thank you, sir," Lila and Tom say. + +They play with Spot. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They run and he chases them. They hug him and he snuggles them. + +They have a lot of fun. Spot is a good dog. He fits in their hearts. +Lily was very happy. It was her birthday soon. She wanted to invite her friends to her party. She had a big cake, balloons, and games. + +She took her cards and went to the park. She saw Ben and Mia playing on the swings. She ran to them and said, "Hi, Ben and Mia! I have something for you!" + +She gave them each a card. It had her name, her house, and the date of the party. Ben and Mia looked at the card and smiled. + +"Wow, Lily, thank you! We would love to come to your party!" Ben said. + +"Yes, thank you, Lily! Your card is very pretty!" Mia said. + +Lily's face was wide with joy. She hugged them and said, "I'm glad you like it! I can't wait to see you at my party!" + +She waved goodbye and went to find more friends. She wanted to invite everyone she knew. She loved sharing her happiness with others. She hoped they would all come and have fun. She was a very kind and generous girl. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. Sometimes they make a lot of noise. Mom and Dad tell them to be calm and listen. + +One day, Mom and Dad have to go out. They ask Grandma to watch Lily and Ben. Grandma is nice, but she is old. She likes to read and knit. She does not like noise. + +"Be good, kids," Mom says. "Listen to Grandma and don't run in the hall." + +"OK, Mom," Lily and Ben say. + +Mom and Dad leave. Lily and Ben hug Grandma. Then they go to their room. They play with their toys. They are calm and quiet. + +But after a while, they get bored. They want to have more fun. They look at each other and smile. + +"Let's play hide and seek!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run out of their room. They run in the hall. They hide behind doors and curtains. They laugh and shout. + +"Found you!" Lily says. + +"Not fair!" Ben says. + +Grandma hears the noise. She puts down her book. She gets up from her chair. She walks to the hall. She sees Lily and Ben running and hiding. + +"Kids, kids, stop!" Grandma says. "You are making too much noise. You have to be calm and listen. You can play, but not in the hall. Go back to your room, please." + +Lily and Ben see Grandma. They feel sorry. They know they are not being good. They stop running and hiding. They walk to Grandma. They hug her. + +"Sorry, Grandma," Lily says. + +"Sorry, Grandma," Ben says. + +Grandma smiles. She hugs them back. + +"It's OK, kids," Grandma says. "I love you. But you have to listen to Mom and Dad. And to me. Now go back to your room and play nicely. I will come and check on you soon." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "OK, Grandma." + +They go back to their room. They play with their toys. They are calm and quiet. They listen to Grandma. They are good. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play music with their toys. They have a drum, a guitar, a flute and a bell. They make a band and call it The Rock Stars. + +One day, they want to play music in the living room. But Mom is busy. She is working on her laptop. She says, "No, boys. You cannot play music here. It is too loud. You will disturb me. Go to your room or the backyard." + +Tom and Sam are sad. They want to play music. They think of a plan. They say, "OK, Mom. We will go to the backyard. But can we take the laptop with us? We want to watch a video." + +Mom thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, you can take the laptop. But be careful with it. And do not watch too long. You need to play outside and get some fresh air." + +Tom and Sam are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We will be careful. We will not watch too long." They take the laptop and go to the backyard. + +But they do not watch a video. They use the laptop to record their music. They play their drum, guitar, flute and bell. They sing and shout. They make a lot of noise. They think they are The Rock Stars. + +Mom hears the noise. She is angry. She goes to the backyard. She sees the laptop and the band. She says, "Boys, what are you doing? You lied to me. You did not watch a video. You played music. You made a lot of noise. You did not permit me to work. You are in trouble." + +Tom and Sam are scared. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We just wanted to play music. We did not mean to lie. We did not mean to disturb you. Please do not be mad." + +Mom is still angry. But she is also a little proud. She says, "Boys, I understand you like music. But you cannot lie to me. And you cannot play music when I am busy. You need to respect me and the rules. You are grounded. No music for a week." + +Tom and Sam are sad. They say, "OK, Mom. We are sorry. We will respect you and the rules. We will not play music for a week." + +Mom says, "Good. Now, give me the laptop. And go to your room. And think about what you did." + +Tom and Sam give the laptop to Mom. They go to their room. They think about what they did. They also think about their band. They hope they can play music again soon. They still think they are The Rock Stars. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red car that could drive very fast. They pretended that they were detectives who solved mysteries with their car. + +One day, they found a note on their car that said: "I have a mystery for you. Follow the clues and find the treasure. Your first clue is under the sofa." Tom and Lily were very excited. They ran to the sofa and lifted it up. They saw a paper with a picture of a book. + +"Maybe the next clue is in a book," Tom said. + +"Let's go to our room and look for it," Lily said. + +They drove their car to their room and searched through their books. They found another paper with a picture of a tree. + +"Maybe the next clue is in the garden," Tom said. + +"Let's go and see," Lily said. + +They drove their car to the garden and looked for the tree. They found another paper with a picture of a box. + +"Maybe the treasure is in the box," Tom said. + +"Let's open it," Lily said. + +They drove their car to the box and opened it. They saw a big cake with candles and a sign that said: "Happy birthday, Tom and Lily!" + +They were very surprised and happy. They realized that their mom and dad had made the mystery for them. They ran to hug them and thanked them for the cake. + +"We are so proud of you, Tom and Lily," their mom said. "You are very smart and brave detectives." + +"We love you, mom and dad," Tom and Lily said. "And we love our car and our mystery." +Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. Tom has a large horse that can zoom fast. Anna has a small car that can zoom too. They zoom their toys on the floor and make noises. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Tom says. "My horse is the best. It can zoom faster than your car." + +"No, it can't!" Anna says. "My car is the best. It can zoom faster than your horse." + +They zoom their toys faster and faster. They want to see who can zoom the best. But then, they zoom too close to each other. Their toys crash and fall. + +"Ow!" Tom says. "You made my horse fall. You are not nice." + +"Ow!" Anna says. "You made my car fall. You are not nice." + +They are both angry. They pick up their toys and go to different corners. They do not want to play with each other anymore. + +Mom sees them and comes to them. She sees their toys and their faces. + +"What happened?" Mom asks. "Why are you not playing together?" + +"Tom is not nice. He made my car fall." Anna says. + +"Anna is not nice. She made my horse fall." Tom says. + +Mom shakes her head. She hugs them and says, "You are both nice. You just had an accident. Accidents happen sometimes. You can say sorry and share your toys. Then you can play together again." + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They feel sorry. They say sorry and hug each other. They share their toys and zoom them together. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" They say. "We are both the best. We can zoom together." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's right. You are both the best. And you are both nice." +Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. It was a sunny day, so they wore sunglasses to protect their eyes. Mia had pink sunglasses and Leo had blue sunglasses. + +"Look, Mia, I can stretch my arms very wide!" Leo said, showing off his muscles. + +"Wow, Leo, you are very strong!" Mia said, clapping her hands. "Can you stretch your legs too?" + +Leo nodded and tried to stretch his legs as far as he could. He felt a tug on his shorts and looked down. He saw a little dog biting his shorts and pulling them. + +"Hey, stop that!" Leo shouted, trying to shake off the dog. "These are my shorts, not your toy!" + +The dog barked and wagged its tail. It thought Leo was playing with it. It did not want to let go of the shorts. + +Mia laughed and ran to help Leo. She took a biscuit from her pocket and waved it in front of the dog. + +"Look, doggy, I have a yummy biscuit for you!" Mia said, smiling. "Do you want it?" + +The dog smelled the biscuit and let go of the shorts. It ran to Mia and licked her hand. It wanted the biscuit very much. + +"Good doggy, here you go!" Mia said, giving the biscuit to the dog. The dog ate the biscuit and wagged its tail again. It was very happy. + +Mia and Leo petted the dog and said hello. They saw a lady coming towards them. She had a leash in her hand. + +"Thank you for finding my dog!" the lady said, smiling. "He ran away from me and I was looking for him. He likes to chew on things. I'm sorry if he ruined your shorts." + +"That's okay, lady, he did not hurt them much," Leo said, looking at his shorts. They had a small hole in them, but he did not mind. + +"He was just hungry and wanted to play," Mia said, hugging the dog. "He is very cute and friendly." + +The lady thanked Mia and Leo again and put the leash on the dog. She said goodbye and walked away with the dog. + +Mia and Leo waved goodbye and put on their sunglasses. They decided to play some more in the park. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They rush to the slide. They take turns to slide down. + +But then they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big lion. The lion is angry. The lion wants to play on the slide too. The lion rushes to the slide. Lily and Ben are scared. + +They run to the swings. They see a man on a horse. The man has a crown. He is the king. The king sees the lion. The king is brave. He tells the lion to go away. The lion is scared of the king. The lion runs away. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They thank the king. The king smiles. He tells them to have fun. He rides away. Lily and Ben go back to the slide. They slide down again. They have fun. +Ben and Lily were curious about the big noise they heard outside. They ran to the window and saw many people walking together. They had flags and signs and drums and horns. They were making a march. + +"What are they doing?" Lily asked. + +"They are saying something they want," Ben said. "Maybe they want more toys or candy." + +"Can we join them?" Lily asked. + +Ben shook his head. "No, we are too small. And we don't know what they want. Maybe they want something we don't like." + +Lily frowned. "But they look fun. And they have music and colors." + +Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea. "Why don't we make our own march?" he said. "We can include our toys and our friends and our pets. We can say what we like." + +Lily smiled. "That sounds good. What do we like?" + +Ben and Lily thought hard. They liked many things. They liked ice cream and books and flowers and stars. They liked hugs and jokes and games and songs. They liked their family and their teachers and their neighbors. They liked themselves and each other. + +They grabbed their toys and their friends and their pets. They made flags and signs and drums and horns. They went outside and started their own march. They said what they liked. They made a big noise. They had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have a big box of fuel. Fuel is what makes cars and trucks go fast. Tom and Sam pretend to fill their cars and trucks with fuel. + +One day, Tom has a new idea. He wants to poke the fuel with a stick. He thinks it will make a big boom. He tells Sam to come and see. Sam is scared. He knows poking fuel is stupid. He tells Tom to stop. But Tom does not listen. He pokes the fuel with a stick. + +The fuel does not make a big boom. It makes a big fire. The fire is hot and angry. It burns the stick and the box and the cars and trucks. Tom and Sam scream. They run away from the fire. They call for mom and dad. + +Mom and dad come and see the fire. They are very mad. They use water to put out the fire. They scold Tom and Sam. They tell them poking fuel is stupid and dangerous. They tell them to never do it again. They take away their cars and trucks. They send them to their room. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They cry in their room. They say sorry to each other. They say sorry to mom and dad. They promise to never poke fuel again. They hug and make up. They hope mom and dad will give them back their cars and trucks. They hope the fire did not hurt them too much. They learn a lesson. Poking fuel is stupid. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play games. Today they play with paper and scissors. They cut shapes from the paper. They make stars, hearts, and circles. + +"Look, I cut a star!" Lily says. She shows Tom her paper star. It is orange. + +"Wow, that is a nice star!" Tom says. He likes orange. He cuts an orange heart. He shows Lily his paper heart. + +"Thank you, Tom. Your heart is nice too!" Lily says. She smiles. They cut more shapes. They have fun. + +But then Tom cuts his finger. He says "Ow!" He drops the scissors. He sees blood. He cries. + +Lily sees Tom's finger. She says "Oh no, Tom! Are you okay?" She feels sorry for Tom. She gives him a hug. + +"I hurt my finger. It is bad." Tom says. He is sad. + +Lily says "Don't worry, Tom. I will help you. Come with me." She takes Tom's hand. She brings him to the teacher. The teacher puts a band-aid on Tom's finger.

He smiles. + +Lily says "You are welcome, Tom. We are friends. Do you want to play more games?" + +Tom says "Yes, I do. But no more scissors.

She says, "But mom, I just wanted to play fashion show. I like fashion. I like your clothes. I wanted to be like you." + +Mom does not listen. She takes off the clothes from Sara and throws them in the box. She says, "You are a bad girl, Sara. You have no respect for my work. You have no fashion sense. You will never be a fashion star. Go to your bed and stay there. You are grounded." + +Sara cries. She feels very sad. She does not like mom. She does not like fashion. She does not like herself. She goes to her bed and stays there.

Anna said it was hers and Ben said it was his. They pulled and tugged and shouted at each other. They made a lot of noise and woke up their mom and dad. + +Mom and dad came to their room and saw them fighting. They were not happy. They said, "Stop fighting, Anna and Ben. You are making too much noise and it is time to sleep. You have to share the purple teddy bear. You can take turns to hug it and sleep with it. Or you can find another toy to cuddle with. But you have to settle this problem by yourselves. We will come back in five minutes and check on you." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry.

They were proud of them. They said, "Good night, Anna and Ben. You are good twins. You learned to share and settle your problem. You made us happy and you made the purple teddy bear happy too." + +The moral value of the story is: Sharing is caring. Fighting is not nice. Settling problems is good. +Sam and Mia were playing outside with their toys. They liked to make roads and bridges with the sand and the stones. They had a big truck and a small car that they drove on their roads. + +But then the sky became dark and loud. Sam and Mia heard a big noise. It was rain. The rain came down very fast and very hard.

They wanted to get away from the rain. They wanted to be warm and safe. But when they got to the door, they saw their mom. She was holding a big umbrella and a big smile. + +"Hello, my little ones," she said. "Do you want to have some fun in the rain?" + +Sam and Mia looked at each other. They did not understand. How could the rain be fun? The rain was breaking their toys. The rain was making them wet and cold. + +"No, thank you, mom," Sam said. "We don't like the rain. The rain is bad." + +Mia nodded. She agreed with Sam. She did not like the rain. The rain was making her stomach hurt. She wanted to go inside and have some milk and cookies. + +Mom laughed. She did not laugh at Sam and Mia. She laughed because she loved them. She knew they were scared and unhappy. She wanted to help them. + +"Come on, my little ones," she said. "The rain is not bad. The rain is good. The rain makes the flowers grow and the birds sing. The rain makes the air fresh and the earth happy. The rain is a gift from the sky." + +She opened the umbrella and held it over Sam and Mia. She took their hands and led them to the garden. She showed them the raindrops on the leaves and the petals. She showed them the worms and the snails that came out of the ground.

They have never seen a coin like this before. They wonder what it is made of and where it came from. + +They decide to discuss the coin with their teacher, Miss Lee. They bring the coin to her and show it to her. They ask her what it is and why it is different. + +Miss Lee smiles and tells them that the coin is made of copper. She says that copper is a kind of metal that is not very common. She says that copper is not as strong as some other metals, like iron or steel. She says that copper is weak and can bend easily. + +Lily and Ben are curious and want to learn more. They ask Miss Lee if they can keep the coin and if they can find more copper things. Miss Lee says yes, but they have to be careful not to break or lose the coin. She says that copper is valuable and can be used for many things, like wires or pipes or jewelry. + +Lily and Ben thank Miss Lee and go back to their play area.

They run to it and climb on. + +"Let's spin fast!" Sara says. + +"Okay!" Ben says. + +They push with their feet and make the thing spin faster and faster.

Ben says. + +They spin and spin until they are dizzy. Then they stop and get off. They hold each other's hands and walk to the bench where their mom is waiting. + +"Did you have fun?"

They are proud of their creations and show them to each other. + +"Look at my tower, Amy!" Tom says. "It is very tall and strong. I used all the blue blocks." + +"It is nice, Tom," Amy says. "But I like my house better. It has a door and a window and a roof. I used all the red blocks." + +They are happy and share some blocks to make more structures. They are careful not to knock them down. + +But then, a big dog comes into the room. He is curious and friendly, but he does not know how to play with blocks. He runs around and wags his tail. He strikes Tom's tower with his paw and it falls down. He strikes Amy's house with his nose and it breaks apart. + +Tom and Amy are sad and angry. They cry and shout at the dog. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" they say. "You ruined our structures! Go away!" + +The dog is scared and confused. He does not understand why they are mad at him. He whines and runs away. + +Tom and Amy hug each other and try to fix their structures. They are not proud anymore. They are sorry for the dog. They wish they had been nicer to him.

I will give it some water." + +"Me too, me too!" Tom said, running to the rose. He poured his water on it, but he poured too much. The rose was soaked and the water spilled on the ground. + +"Oh no, Tom, you gave it too much water!" Lily said. "Now it will be sad. You have to be gentle with the plants." + +"Sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to." Tom said. He looked at the rose and felt bad. "How can I make it happy again?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. "Maybe we can sing to it. Mama says singing makes everything better. Do you know a song, Tom?" + +Tom nodded. He knew a song that he learned at school. It was about a green frog that liked to hop and croak. He started to sing it, and Lily joined him. They sang loudly and happily, hoping the rose would hear them and feel better. + +The rose did hear them, and it felt better. It was not sad anymore, even though it was soaked.

He lies next to Sara and coughs. + +Mr. Bear is a good doctor. He listens to their hearts with a toy stethoscope. He gives them some candy as medicine. He tells them to drink some water and rest. He says, "You will feel better soon. I love you, Sara and Ben." He hugs them and kisses them. + +Sara and Ben smile. They feel better already. They say, "Thank you, Mr. Bear. You are the best doctor ever. We love you, too." They hug him and kiss him back. They lie with him on the bed and close their eyes. They are happy and cozy. They fall asleep with Mr. Bear. +Sara and Tom liked to play pretend. They had a big box of toys and clothes. One day, they decided to pretend they were cowboys and horses. Sara put on a hat and a belt. Tom put on a mask and a tail. + +"Yee-haw!" Sara said. "I am a cowboy. You are my horse. Come on, let's go to the ranch." + +She took a rope from the box and tied it around Tom's neck. Tom did not like the rope. It was tight and scratchy. He tried to pull it off, but Sara held it tight. + +"Stop it, horse!" Sara said. "You have to be patient. We have a long way to go." + +Tom did not want to be patient. He wanted to be free. He started to run and buck. He hoped Sara would let go of the rope. But Sara did not let go. She pulled harder and harder. + +"Whoa, horse!" Sara said. "You are too wild. You have to calm down." + +Tom did not calm down. He ran faster and faster. He did not see the rock in front of him. He tripped and fell. He hit his head on the rock. He felt a lot of pain. He started to cry. + +Sara let go of the rope. She saw Tom's head bleeding. She felt scared and sorry. She ran to him and tried to help him. + +"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Sara said. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I did not mean to hurt you." + +But Tom did not answer. He did not move. He did not breathe. He was gone. Sara cried and cried. She wished she did not play pretend. She wished she did not use the rope. She wished Tom was still alive. +Anna loved her parrot, Coco. Coco was very colorful and smart. He could say many words, like "hello", "bye-bye" and "cracker".

But then, Coco saw a butterfly. He was very adventurous and curious. He wanted to chase the butterfly. He dropped the stick and flew after the butterfly. + +Anna was sad and angry.

He opened the bottle and drank some of the bubble soap. He made a face and spit it out. It was sour and yucky. + +"Yuck! What is this?" he said. He threw the bottle on the ground. + +Lily and Max saw him and ran to the bottle. They picked it up and checked if there was any soap left. There was a little bit. + +"Are you okay?"

"Look, Sam, maybe that is water and trees!" Lia said. "Let's go there, maybe we can find help!" Sam said. + +They walked and walked, but the bright green spot did not get closer. The sun was very hot and hurt their eyes. They felt dizzy and weak. They wanted to stop and rest, but they hoped to reach the water and trees soon. + +Finally, they came to the bright green spot. But it was not water and trees. It was a big picture on a wall. It was a trick. There was no oasis, only more sand and rocks. "Oh no, this is not fair!" Lia cried. "Why did they do this to us?" Sam asked. + +They heard a loud noise behind them. They turned around and saw a big truck with mean men. The men had guns and ropes. They wanted to catch Lia and Sam and take them away.

"It has a big mane and sharp teeth!" + +"That's nice, Max, but you are making a lot of crumbs on the floor," Lily says, pointing to the bits of clay that have fallen off. "Mommy will be angry if she sees this." + +"I don't care, I like my lion," Max says, sticking out his tongue. "You are making a mess too, with your blocks. They are everywhere!" + +Lily shakes her head. "No, I am not. I am making neat houses and cars. They are easy to clean up. You should put your clay away, Max. It will dry out and break." + +Max shakes his head too. "No, I won't. I want to make more animals and monsters. They are fun and scary. You should play with me, Lily. It will be more fun than your blocks." + +Lily and Max start to argue. They both insist that their toys are better and that the other should play with them.

She sees the messy floor and the angry faces of Lily and Max. She is not happy. "What is going on here? Why are you fighting and making such a mess?" + +Lily and Max try to explain, but they both talk at the same time. They blame each other for the mess and the fight. Mommy can't understand them. She sighs and shakes her head. + +"Enough, enough, both of you!" Mommy says, raising her hand. "I don't want to hear any more excuses. You both need to clean up this mess right now. And then you need to say sorry to each other and share your toys. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nod, but they are not happy. They don't want to clean up or say sorry or share. They wonder why Mommy can't see that their toys are better and that the other is wrong. But they know that Mommy is the boss and that they have to do what she says.

"You look like a big blue cat," she said. + +Ben laughed too. He liked to make Lily laugh. He started to run around the room, pretending to be a cat. He meowed and purred and scratched the carpet. + +Lily joined him. She ran after him, pretending to be a mouse. They chased each other and had a lot of fun. + +But then, Ben tripped over the sweater and fell on the floor. He heard a rip. He looked at the sweater and saw a big hole in it. He felt bad. + +"Oh no, I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I ripped your sweater. I was not careful." + +Lily saw the hole too. She felt sad. She loved her sweater. She did not want it to be ripped. + +"It's okay, Ben," she said. "It was an accident. You did not mean to rip it. Maybe we can fix it." + +She hugged him. He hugged her back. + +They went to Lily's mom and showed her the sweater. Lily's mom was good at sewing. She said she could fix the hole. She took the sweater and a needle and some thread. + +Lily and Ben watched her. They saw her stitch the hole with the thread. She made it look like new. She gave the sweater back to Lily. + +"Here you go, sweetie," she said. "Your sweater is fixed. You can wear it again." + +Lily smiled. She thanked her mom. She put on the sweater. It fit her perfectly. She felt warm and cozy. + +She looked at Ben. He smiled too. He was glad that Lily's sweater was fixed. He was sorry that he ripped it. + +"Can I stretch your sweater again?" he asked, joking. + +Lily laughed. "No, you can't," she said. "But you can play with me again." + +They hugged. They were still friends. They went back to their game. They played with the blocks and the dolls. They were happy. +Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play outside when it is sunny. But today, the sky is dark and the wind is strong. Mama says there is a hurricane coming. She tells Tim and Mia to stay inside and be safe. + +Tim and Mia are bored. They look out the window and see the rain falling hard. They see big puddles on the street. They want to splash in the puddles. They put on their boots and coats and sneak out the door. + +They run to the nearest puddle and jump in. They laugh and splash each other. They do not hear Mama calling them. They do not see the big tree falling down. They only hear the rain and the wind. They think it is fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is louder than the rain and the wind. It is louder than anything they have ever heard. They look up and see a big wave coming. It is bigger than the house. It is bigger than the tree. It is scary. + +They scream and run back to the door. They try to open it, but it is locked. They bang on the door and cry for Mama. They are wet and cold and afraid. + +Mama hears them and opens the door. She hugs them and pulls them inside. She is angry and worried. She says, "What were you doing outside? Don't you know there is a hurricane? You could have been hurt or swept away!" + +Tim and Mia are sorry. They say, "We wanted to splash in the puddles. We did not know it was so dangerous. We are sorry, Mama." + +Mama says, "I know you are sorry, but you have to listen to me. A hurricane is not a game. It is a big storm that can hurt people and things. You have to stay inside and be safe. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Mia nod and say, "Yes, Mama. We understand. We will not go outside again. We love you, Mama." + +Mama says, "I love you too, Tim and Mia. Now, let's get you dry and warm. And then, we can play a game inside. How about that?" + +Tim and Mia smile and say, "Yes, Mama. That sounds good." They follow Mama to the bathroom. They are glad they are safe and together. They hope the hurricane will go away soon. +Lily was sad. Her toy car was broken. She tried to fix it, but it did not work. She wanted to play with it, but it only made a noise. + +She went to find her daddy. He was in the kitchen. He was making food for them. He saw Lily and smiled. + +"Hello, Lily. What is wrong?" he asked. + +Lily showed him her toy car. She said, "My car is broken. It does not go. Can you fix it, daddy?" + +Daddy looked at the toy car. He saw that a wheel was missing. He said, "Oh, I see. Your car is broken. It needs a new wheel. I can fix it, but I need something to provide a wheel. Do you have anything we can use?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered that she had a bottle cap in her room. She said, "I have a bottle cap. It is round. Can we use it?" + +Daddy said, "Yes, we can. That is a good idea. Let's go to your room and get it." + +They went to Lily's room. Lily found the bottle cap and gave it to daddy. Daddy used some tape and attached it to the toy car. He said, "There. Now your car has a new wheel. Let's see if it works." + +He gave the toy car back to Lily. She pushed it on the floor. It went. It did not make a noise. Lily was happy. She said, "Thank you, daddy. You fixed my car. You are the best." + +Daddy hugged Lily. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you are happy. You are the best, too." +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and talk on the phone. One day, Tom calls Jen and says, "Do you want to play with me at the park?" Jen says, "Yes, I do. I will bring my ball and my doll." + +They meet at the park and have fun. They kick the ball, swing on the swings, and hug the doll. But then, the sky gets dark and it starts to rain. Tom and Jen run to a big tree and wait for the rain to stop. They are wet and cold. + +Tom says, "I want to go home. I don't like the rain." Jen says, "Me too. Let's call our moms and ask them to pick us up." They take out their phones and try to call. But their phones are wet too. They don't work. They make no sound. They are broken. + +Tom and Jen are sad and scared. They cry and hug each other. They don't know what to do. They hope their moms will find them soon. But the rain does not stop. It gets harder and harder. The tree does not keep them dry. They get more wet and more cold. They wish they had never gone to the park. They wish they had stayed home and played with their toys and talked on the phone. +Lila and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to imagine they were brave warriors with bows and arrows. They made their bows from sticks and their arrows from feathers and string. + +"Look, Sam, I see a dragon!" Lila said, pointing to a big cloud in the sky. "Let's shoot it with our arrows!" + +"OK, Lila, but be careful, it might breathe fire!" Sam said, pretending to be scared. He pulled his bow and aimed at the cloud. + +"Whoosh!" He let go of his arrow and watched it fly in the air. "Did I hit it?" + +Lila nodded. "Yes, you did, Sam, you are a great warrior!" She clapped her hands and smiled. "Now it's my turn!" + +She picked up another arrow and looked for another target. She saw a bird sitting on a branch. She thought it was a spy for the dragon. She raised her bow and shot her arrow. + +"Whoosh!" Her arrow flew towards the bird. But the bird saw it and flew away just in time. Lila missed. + +"Oh, no, I missed!" Lila said, feeling sad. "The bird escaped!" + +Sam ran to her and hugged her. "It's OK, Lila, you tried your best. You are still a great warrior!" He said, trying to cheer her up. "And look, your arrow landed on the ground. You can pick it up and try again!" + +Lila looked at her arrow. It was still in one piece. She felt a little better. She thanked Sam and picked up her arrow. She was proud of her friend and herself. They were brave warriors with bows and arrows. They imagined they could do anything. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and make noises. One day, they find a big round thing in the park. It is shiny and has many colors. They wonder what it is. + +"Maybe it is a ball," Tom says. + +"Maybe it is a drum," Lily says. + +They touch the round thing. It makes a loud sound. They are surprised and happy. They decide to perform a show with the round thing. They take turns to hit it and make different sounds. + +"Boom, boom, boom!" Tom says. + +"Bang, bang, bang!" Lily says. + +They laugh and clap. They think they are very good. They invite other children to watch their show. The other children come and see the round thing. They think it is interesting and fun. They join Tom and Lily and make more sounds. + +"Wow, wow, wow!" the children say. + +They have a great time. They do not know that the round thing is a gong. They only know that it is a wonderful toy. They perform until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the round thing and to each other. They promise to come back and play again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, the wind is very strong. Anna and Ben want to fly their kite. They hold the string tight and let the kite go up in the sky. The kite is red and blue and yellow. It looks like a bird. + +"Wow, look at our kite!" Anna says. "It is so high and fast!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "It is the best kite ever!" + +But then, something bad happens. The string breaks. The kite flies away. Anna and Ben are sad. They run after the kite, but they cannot catch it. + +"Come back, kite, come back!" Anna cries. "We love you!" + +"Please, kite, please!" Ben shouts. "Stay with us!" + +But the kite does not hear them. It goes far, far away. Anna and Ben stop running. They sit on the grass and hug each other. They feel like crying. + +"Where did our kite go?" Anna asks. "Will we ever see it again?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "It seemed to like the wind more than us." + +They are quiet for a while. Then, they hear a voice. + +"Hey, kids, is this your kite?" The voice belongs to a man. He is holding their kite. He found it in a tree. + +Anna and Ben jump up. They run to the man. They are happy. They thank him and take their kite. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Anna says. + +"You are very kind, very kind, very kind!" Ben says. + +The man smiles. He is glad to help. He says goodbye and leaves. + +Anna and Ben hug their kite. They are not sad anymore. They decide to play with their ball instead. They hold their kite tight and do not let it go. They are friends. They have fun. +Lily liked gum a lot. She liked to chew it and blow bubbles. She had a piggy bank with some coins. She wanted to buy more gum. + +She asked her mom if she could go to the store. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful. She gave her a mask and a hat. She told her to stay away from dirty things and people. + +Lily walked to the store. She saw a lot of gum. She picked the one she liked. It was pink and sweet. She gave the coins to the man. He gave her the gum. She said thank you. + +She opened the gum and put one in her mouth. She chewed it and blew a big bubble. She was happy. She walked back home. + +On the way, she saw a dog. The dog was dirty and hungry. It looked sad. Lily felt sorry for the dog. She wanted to help it. She took out another gum and gave it to the dog. The dog wagged its tail and ate the gum. It licked Lily's hand. + +Lily smiled. She was happy. She had spent her coins on gum, but she had also made a new friend. She hoped the dog would be okay. She ran home to tell her mom. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. But it is raining and the grass is wet. Their shoes are wet too. They feel cold and wet. + +"Let's go home, Lily," Tom says. "We can play inside." + +"OK, Tom," Lily says. "But I want to take my shoes off. They are too wet." + +They run to their house. Mom is waiting for them. She has a big towel and a warm hug. + +"Hello, my wet ducks," Mom says. "Come here and dry off." + +She helps them take off their shoes and socks. She rubs their feet with the towel. She puts their shoes and socks on the heater. + +"Can we play with our toys, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Of course, my sweeties," Mom says. "But first, let me show you something funny." + +She takes one of Tom's shoes and puts it on her hand. She makes the shoe talk like a puppet. + +"Hello, I am Tom's shoe," the shoe says. "I am very wet and sad. I want to be dry and happy. Can you help me?" + +Lily and Tom laugh. They think the shoe is very funny. They take their other shoes and make them talk too. + +"Hello, I am Lily's shoe," Lily's shoe says. "I am wet and cold. I want to be dry and warm. Can you hug me?" + +"Hello, I am Tom's other shoe," Tom's other shoe says. "I am wet and dirty. I want to be dry and clean. Can you wash me?" + +They have fun playing with their shoes. They forget that they are wet. They are happy and dry. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they fought over their toys. One day, they found a big box in the attic. It was full of old clothes and hats and shoes. They decided to dress up and pretend to be different people. + +Lily put on a long dress and a hat with feathers. She said, "I am a queen and this is my palace. You have to do what I say." Tom put on a coat and a scarf and a hat with a bell. He said, "I am a chimney sweep and this is my job. I have to clean the chimneys and make them smoke." + +They played for a while, but soon they got bored. Lily wanted to try on more clothes, but Tom wanted to keep his. He said, "These are mine. You can't have them. You are selfish." Lily said, "No, you are selfish. You have more than me. You have to share." They started to pull and tug at each other's clothes. They made a lot of noise and mess. + +Their mother heard them and came upstairs. She was not happy. She said, "What are you doing? You are making a racket and ruining these clothes. You have to stop fighting and clean up this mess. And you have to apologize to each other. You are not being nice." She took away the box and told them to go to their rooms. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They did not want to say sorry. They went to their beds and lay down. They closed their eyes and tried to sleep. But they could not. They missed each other. They wished they could play together again. + +They started to dream. In their dreams, they saw each other. They were in a big garden with flowers and trees and birds. They were happy. They hugged and said, "I am sorry. I love you. You are my best friend." They played and laughed and had fun. They forgot about the box and the clothes and the fight. + +They woke up and smiled. They got out of their beds and ran to each other's rooms. They knocked on the doors and said, "Can I come in? I have something to tell you." They opened the doors and hugged again. They told each other about their dreams. They said, "Let's be nice to each other. Let's share and help and play. Let's be friends." They went downstairs and found their mother. They said, "We are sorry. We love you. You are the best mom." They gave her a kiss and a hug. She smiled and said, "I am glad. I love you too. You are the best twins." She gave them a kiss and a hug. She said, "How about we make some cookies and have a tea party?" They said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun." They went to the kitchen and helped their mother. They were happy. They had learned a lesson. They had learned not to be selfish. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to pretend they were racing and chasing each other. Sometimes they made loud noises and crashed their cars. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Ben said, zooming his red car past Lily's blue one. + +"No, you're not, I'll catch you!" Lily said, following him with her car. + +They reached the sofa, where their dad was reading a book. He had a wallet on the table next to him. It had some money inside. + +"Look, dad's money!" Ben said, stopping his car and reaching for the wallet. + +"Don't touch it, Ben, it's not yours!" Lily said, trying to stop him. + +But Ben was too curious. He grabbed the wallet and opened it. He saw some green and blue papers and some shiny coins. He wanted to see them better, so he turned the wallet upside down. + +"Oh no, Ben, you're so clumsy!" Lily said, as the money fell out of the wallet and scattered on the floor. + +Their dad heard the noise and looked up from his book. He saw his money all over the floor and his children with his wallet. + +"Ben, Lily, what are you doing?" he asked, getting up from the sofa. + +He was not happy. He took the wallet from Ben and told him to release it. + +"Sorry, dad, we were just playing," Ben said, letting go of the wallet. + +"We didn't mean to make a mess," Lily said, looking down. + +Their dad sighed. He told them to pick up the money and put it back in the wallet. He also told them to be more careful and respectful with other people's things. He said money was important and not a toy. + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They said sorry again and helped their dad clean up the floor. They learned their lesson and never touched his wallet again. They went back to playing with their toy cars, but more quietly and away from the table. +Lily loved to dance. She danced every day in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She danced with her dolls, her dog, and her friends. She dreamed of being a dancer on a big stage, with a beautiful dress and a shiny crown. + +One day, her mom took her to see a show. There were many dancers on the stage, with colorful costumes and music. Lily watched them with wide eyes and clapped her hands. She wanted to be like them. She saw one dancer who was very incredible. She had long hair, a pink dress, and a silver crown. She moved like a fairy, with grace and speed. Lily thought she was the most beautiful dancer in the world. + +At the end of the show, the dancers bowed and the people applauded. Lily applauded the loudest. She wanted to meet the incredible dancer and tell her how much she liked her. She asked her mom if they could go backstage. Her mom smiled and said yes. They walked to the door where the dancers came out. Lily waited eagerly, holding her mom's hand. + +Soon, the incredible dancer came out. She looked tired and sweaty, but still happy. She saw Lily and smiled. She walked over to her and said hello. Lily was shy and nervous. She looked at the dancer's dress and crown and felt small and plain. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what. + +The dancer bent down and hugged Lily. She said, "You are so sweet. Thank you for coming to see me. You know, I was once like you. I loved to dance and dreamed of being on the stage. I worked hard and practiced every day. And I never gave up. That's how I became a dancer. And you can too, if you want. You have a spark in your eyes and a joy in your heart. That's what makes a dancer. And you are beautiful, just the way you are." + +Lily felt a warm and happy feeling in her chest. She hugged the dancer back and said, "Thank you. You are very kind. And you are my favorite dancer. You are incredible." + +The dancer smiled and kissed Lily's cheek. She said, "You are welcome. And you are my favorite fan. You are incredible too." + +They held hands and walked out of the door, while the people applauded. Lily felt like she was on a big stage, with a beautiful dress and a shiny crown. She realized that she didn't need those things to be a dancer. She just needed to love dancing and believe in herself. And she had a new friend who believed in her too. She was very happy. +Lily loves to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes to look at the bright pictures and learn new words. She has a book about animals, a book about cars, a book about stars, and many more. + +One day, Lily's brother Tom comes to her room. He is bored and wants to play. He sees Lily's books and grabs one. He says, "This is my book now. I want to read it." Lily says, "No, Tom, that is my book. Give it back. You have your own books." Tom says, "No, I like this book. It has a big lion on the cover. I want to see the lion." He runs away with the book. + +Lily is angry and sad. She follows Tom and tries to get her book back. They fight over the book and pull it hard. The book rips in half. The lion is torn. Lily and Tom both cry. They have broken the book. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the ripped book and the tears. She says, "What happened? Why did you break the book?" Lily and Tom tell her what they did. Mom says, "That was not nice. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not fight over things. You should share and be kind. Books are precious. They teach us and make us happy. You should respect them and take care of them." + +Mom hugs Lily and Tom and says, "I'm sorry you are sad. I know you love the book. Maybe we can fix it. Maybe we can heal it." She takes the book and some tape. She puts the pieces together and tapes them. She says, "Look, the book is not broken anymore. The lion is whole again. The book is healed. But it still has some scars. It will always remember what you did. So you should be gentle with it and love it more." + +Lily and Tom look at the book. They see the tape and the scars. They feel sorry for the book. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We are sorry we broke the book. We will be gentle and love it more. We will share it and read it together. We will learn from the book and from you. We love you, Mom." Mom smiles and says, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. Now, let's read the book and see the lion." They sit on the couch and read the book. They see the bright pictures and learn new words. They are happy. The book is happy. Mom is happy. +Lily was very happy. She was going on a holiday with her mum and dad. They packed a big bag with clothes and toys and books. Lily put her black hat in the bag. She liked her black hat. It was warm and soft. + +They got in the car and drove for a long time. Lily looked out the window and saw many things. She saw cows and sheep and trees and houses. She saw a big lake and a big bridge. She saw a big mountain with snow on top. She thought it was very pretty. + +They came to a small house near the mountain. It was their holiday house. They got out of the car and went inside. The house was cozy and nice. It had a fireplace and a sofa and a bed. Lily saw a big window with a view of the mountain. She ran to the window and looked outside. She saw a black bird on a branch. It had a yellow beak and a red chest. It sang a song. Lily thought it was very funny. + +She smiled and waved at the bird. The bird waved back with its wing. Lily laughed and clapped her hands. She liked the bird. She wanted to be its friend. She asked her mum and dad if she could go outside and play with the bird. They said yes, but she had to wear her black hat and her coat and her boots. It was cold outside. + +Lily put on her black hat and her coat and her boots. She went outside and called the bird. The bird flew down and landed on her shoulder. It pecked her ear and tickled her. Lily giggled and hugged the bird. They played together in the snow. They made a snowman and a snow angel and a snowball. They had a lot of fun. Lily thought it was the best holiday ever. +Tom and Sue are playing in the sand. They have a bucket and a shovel. They want to make a big castle. Tom digs a hole and fills the bucket with sand. Sue dumps the sand and shapes it into a wall. + +"Look, our castle is almost done!" Sue says. + +But then, a big dog comes running. The dog is smelly and has a patch over one eye. The dog likes the sand. He jumps on the castle and breaks it. He digs in the hole and buries his bone. + +"Hey, stop that!" Tom yells. "You ruined our castle!" + +The dog barks and wags his tail. He thinks Tom and Sue want to play. He runs around them and licks their faces. + +"Yuck, go away!" Sue says. "You are smelly and wet!" + +Tom and Sue are angry and sad. They don't like the dog. They want to make a new castle. But they don't have any more sand. The dog took it all. + +"What can we do?" Tom asks. + +Sue thinks for a moment. She has an idea. + +"Let's bury the dog!" she says. + +Tom likes the idea. He nods and smiles. + +They grab the shovel and the bucket. They sneak behind the dog. They scoop some sand and throw it on the dog. + +The dog is surprised. He shakes his head and sneezes. He sees Tom and Sue. He thinks they are playing. He barks and wags his tail. He jumps out of the sand and chases them. + +Tom and Sue run and scream. They drop the shovel and the bucket. They can't bury the dog. He is too fast and strong. + +They run to their mom. She is sitting on a blanket. She sees the dog. She is not happy. + +"Who owns that dog?" she asks. "He is smelly and dirty. He should be on a leash." + +She calls the dog catcher. He comes with a net and a truck. He catches the dog and puts him in the truck. + +"Bye, bye, dog!" Tom and Sue say. + +They are glad the dog is gone. They don't want to play with him. They want to play with their sand. + +They pick up their shovel and their bucket. They find a new spot. They start to make a new castle. + +They hope no other dog comes. They hope their castle stays. They are happy and proud. They like their sand. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys. The toys include cars, dolls, balls and blocks. + +One day, they decide to make a road for their cars. They use a shovel and a bucket to dig some soil. They put the soil on the grass and make a long and bumpy road. + +"Look at our road!" Lily says. "It is so fun!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben agrees. "Let's drive our cars on it!" + +They take their cars and zoom them on the road. They make noises like vroom and beep. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Lily's mom. She is not happy. + +"Lily, Ben, what are you doing?" she asks. "You are making a mess with the soil! You are ruining the grass!" + +Lily and Ben stop playing. They look at Lily's mom. They feel sad. + +"We are sorry, mom," Lily says. "We just wanted to make a road for our cars." + +"We didn't mean to make a mess," Ben adds. + +Lily's mom sighs. She sees their sad faces. She feels sorry too. + +"I know, sweeties," she says. "But you can't use the soil like that. It is not good for the garden. And it is not good for your toys either. They will get dirty and broken." + +She picks up their toys and puts them back in the box. She gives them a friendly smile. + +"Why don't you play with something else?" she suggests. "You can use the blocks to make a road. Or you can use the balls to play catch. Or you can use the dolls to have a tea party. There are many ways to have fun without the soil." + +Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They say sorry again. They hug Lily's mom. They take their box of toys and go to another part of the garden. They find a new way to play. They are still friends. They are still happy. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and serve food to their stuffed animals. Lily made a cake with frosting and sprinkles. Tom made a pizza with cheese and pepperoni. + +"Who wants cake?" Lily asked, holding a plate with a slice of cake. + +"Me, me, me!" said the bear, the rabbit and the cat. + +"Who wants pizza?" Tom asked, holding a tray with a pizza. + +"Me, me, me!" said the dog, the monkey and the lion. + +Lily and Tom were happy to see their friends enjoy their food. They smiled and said, "You're welcome!" + +But then, something bad happened. The dog started to cough and choke. He had eaten too fast and a piece of pepperoni was stuck in his throat. He could not breathe. + +"Help, help!" he cried. + +"Oh no, this is an emergency!" Lily said. She ran to get her mom, who was a nurse. + +"Mom, mom, the dog is choking! He needs help!" Lily shouted. + +"Where is he?" mom asked, grabbing her bag. + +"In the living room, with the other animals!" Lily said. + +Mom followed Lily to the living room. She saw the dog lying on the floor, turning blue. She quickly performed the Heimlich maneuver on him, trying to dislodge the pepperoni. + +"Come on, come on, spit it out!" mom said. + +But it was too late. The dog had stopped breathing. He was dead. + +Mom checked his pulse and shook her head. She looked at Lily and Tom with a sad face. + +"I'm sorry, kids. I tried, but I couldn't save him. He's gone." + +Lily and Tom burst into tears. They hugged their mom and each other. They could not believe their friend was gone. + +They wished they had been more patient and careful with their food. They wished they had not served pizza with pepperoni. They wished they could bring the dog back to life. But they couldn't. + +They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned that life is precious and fragile. They learned that sometimes, emergencies happen and there is nothing you can do. They learned that they should always be kind and grateful to their friends. They learned that they should never take anything for granted. +Tom and Lily were twins who loved candy. They always asked their mom for candy, but she said no. She said candy was bad for their teeth and their tummy. She said they could only have candy on special days, like their birthday or Halloween. + +One day, Tom and Lily saw a big jar of candy on the kitchen table. It was gloomy outside, and they were bored. They thought their mom was not looking, so they sneaked to the table and grabbed some candy. They hid under the bed and ate the candy. It was sweet and yummy. + +But soon, they felt sick. Their teeth hurt and their tummy ached. They started to cry. Their mom heard them and came to their room. She saw the candy wrappers under the bed and the jar on the table. She was angry and sad. + +"Why did you eat the candy?" she asked. "I told you not to eat the candy. It is bad for you. You could get sick or have cavities. You did not listen to me. You were naughty." + +Tom and Lily tried to explain. They said they were sorry. They said they were bored and curious. They said they liked candy. But their mom did not listen. She said they had to go to the dentist and the doctor. She said they had to stay in their room and have no toys or TV. She said they had to learn their lesson. + +Tom and Lily felt worse. They wished they had not eaten the candy. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they could have some fun. But they could not. They had to face the consequences of their actions. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the big box the most. They pretended it was a house, a car, a spaceship, and anything they could imagine. + +"Let's make a window in the box," Ben said. He found a pair of scissors and cut a hole in the side of the box. + +"Be careful, Ben," Lily said. "Don't hurt yourself with the scissors." + +"I won't, Lily," Ben said. He finished cutting the hole and looked through it. "Wow, this is a perfect window. We can see everything outside." + +Lily joined him and looked through the hole. She saw the sun, the sky, the trees, and the birds. She also saw their mom coming from the kitchen. + +"Hi, kids," their mom said. "What are you doing?" + +"We are playing in the box," Lily said. "We made a window. See?" + +Their mom smiled and looked through the hole. "That's very nice," she said. "But it's time for lunch now. Can you remove the box and put your toys away?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They liked the box, but they also liked lunch. They removed the box and put their toys away. Then they followed their mom to the kitchen. They were hungry and happy. +Tom was a boy who liked to wear ties. He had many ties of different colors and shapes. He thought ties made him look smart and unique. He wore a tie every day, even when he played with his friends. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and saw a girl with a big bow in her hair. He thought the bow was pretty and unique, too. He wanted to talk to the girl, but he was shy. He walked over to her and said, "Hi, I like your bow. It is very unique." + +The girl smiled and said, "Thank you. I like your tie. It is very unique, too. What is your name?" + +Tom felt happy and said, "My name is Tom. What is your name?" + +The girl said, "My name is Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, I do. What do you like to play?" + +Lily said, "I like to play with dolls and cars. Do you like to play with them, too?" + +Tom said, "Yes, I do. I have a doll and a car at home. Can I show them to you?" + +Lily said, "Sure, that would be fun. Can I show you my doll and my car, too?" + +Tom said, "Yes, please. Let's go to your house first." + +Tom and Lily held hands and ran to Lily's house. They played with their dolls and cars and had a lot of fun. They also shared their ties and bows and tried them on. They thought they looked funny and unique. + +Tom and Lily became good friends. They learned that they had a lot in common, even though they wore different things. They learned that being unique is good, but being kind is better. They learned that they could like each other for who they are, not for what they wear. +Lily and Ben were going to visit their grandma in the big city. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and books. They were very excited to see grandma and the zoo. + +When they got to grandma's house, they hugged her and said hello. Grandma smiled and said, "Welcome, my dears. I have a surprise for you in your room. Go and unpack your bags and see what it is." + +Lily and Ben ran to their room and opened the door. They saw a big, soft, spotted leopard on the bed. It was a toy leopard, but it looked very real. Lily and Ben loved it. They unpacked their bags and put them in the closet. Then they jumped on the bed and hugged the leopard. + +"Wow, this is the best surprise ever!" Lily said. "Thank you, grandma!" + +"Can we take it to the zoo tomorrow?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, you can," grandma said. "But be careful. Don't let the real leopards see it. They might get angry and think it is their baby." + +Lily and Ben laughed. They did not think the real leopards would get angry. They thought the real leopards would be nice and friendly, like their toy leopard. They named their toy leopard Leo and played with him until bedtime. They dreamed of seeing the zoo and the real leopards the next day. +Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat pizza. Mom said they could order pizza on the phone. Ben and Lily were happy. + +Mom picked up the phone and called the pizza place. She told them what kind of pizza they wanted and where they lived. The pizza place said they would bring the pizza soon. Mom said thank you and hung up the phone. + +Ben and Lily waited for the pizza. They looked out the window. It was gloomy outside. The sky was gray and it was raining. Ben and Lily did not like the rain. They wanted to play outside. + +They heard a knock on the door. Mom opened the door. It was the pizza man. He had a big box in his hands. He smiled and said, "Here is your pizza. Enjoy!" Mom gave him some money and said, "Thank you. Have a nice day!" The pizza man said, "You're welcome. Bye!" He left. + +Mom brought the pizza to the table. She opened the box. The pizza smelled good and looked yummy. Ben and Lily smiled. They said, "Yay! Pizza!" Mom said, "Let's eat!" Ben and Lily said, "Okay!" They ate the pizza and were happy. They forgot about the gloomy rain. They said, "Thank you, Mom!" Mom said, "You're welcome, my loves!" They hugged and kissed. They had a good day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big bag of rice on the shelf. They wanted to make it rain rice. They climbed on a chair and pulled the bag down. But the bag was too heavy and it ripped open. Rice spilled everywhere on the floor. + +"Wow, look at all the rice!" Tom said. + +"Let's release it in the air!" Lily said. + +They grabbed handfuls of rice and threw them up. The rice fell down like snowflakes. They laughed and danced in the rice. They felt happy and dizzy. + +But then Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She was angry. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. + +"We are making it rain rice!" Tom and Lily said. + +"No, you are making a big mess!" Mom said. "You have to clean it up right now!" + +Tom and Lily felt sad and sorry. They said sorry to Mom. They helped Mom sweep the rice. They learned not to play with food. They promised to be good. Mom hugged them and forgave them. She gave them some cookies and milk. They ate them and felt better. They still liked rice, but not on the floor. +Tim and Sam liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But then a big dog came. The dog was mean and hungry. He saw the snowman and thought it was food. He ran to the snowman and bit his nose. He tore his scarf and hat. He dug his paws into the snow and made it fly. + +Tim and Sam saw the dog and were very scared. They shouted at the dog to go away. But the dog did not listen. He was too busy destroying the snowman. He made a big mess of snow and dirt. + +Tim and Sam cried. They loved their snowman. They worked hard to make him. They wanted to play with him more. But now their snowman was gone. He was just a pile of snow and trash. The dog had ruined their fun. + +The dog finished his attack and ran away. He did not care about Tim and Sam. He did not care about their snowman. He only cared about himself. Tim and Sam were very sad. They had no snowman and no friend. They had a bad day. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the polish set. The polish set has many colors and brushes. They can polish anything they want and make it shiny and pretty. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a big cone in the yard. The cone is brown and thick. It has many bumps and holes. Sara and Ben think it is a funny cone. They wonder what it is. + +"Let's polish the cone!" Sara says. "Maybe it will look like a hat or a cake." + +"OK!" Ben says. "I will use the red polish and you use the blue polish." + +Sara and Ben start to polish the cone. They use their brushes and rub the colors on the cone. The cone becomes shiny and colorful. Sara and Ben are happy. They think they made a beautiful cone. + +But then, they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big bear. The bear is angry and hungry. He sees the cone and thinks it is his. The cone is his honeycomb. He wants his honey. + +"Hey, that's my cone!" the bear says. "You took my cone and made it ugly. Give it back to me!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the cone and run away. They hide behind a tree and watch the bear. The bear picks up the cone and sniffs it. He does not like the polish. He spits it out and throws the cone away. He walks away and looks for another cone. + +Sara and Ben are safe. They hug each other and sigh. They learned a lesson. They will not polish any more cones. They will polish something else. Maybe a ball or a box. Something that is not a bear's cone. +Tim and Mia liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them race and crash and honk. Sometimes they also liked to attach things to their cars, like stickers, or magnets, or strings. + +One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had many wires and buttons and lights. They did not know what it was, but it looked fun. They decided to attach it to one of their cars. They used some tape and some clips and some glue. They made the car look very strange and shiny. + +"Let's see what it does!" said Tim. He pressed a big red button on the box. Suddenly, the car started to make a loud noise and a bright flash. It zoomed out of the garage and into the street. Tim and Mia ran after it, but they could not catch it. The car was too fast and too wild. + +The car drove around the neighborhood, making sparks and smoke. It scared the dogs and the birds and the people. It knocked over trash cans and mailboxes and signs. It made a big mess and a big noise. Everyone was confused and angry. + +Then, the car drove into a big storm. There were dark clouds and strong winds and loud thunders. The car got wet and cold and dirty. The box on the car started to beep and crackle. It did not work well anymore. The car slowed down and stopped. It was broken and sad. + +Tim and Mia finally found the car. They were wet and cold and dirty too. They were also scared and sorry. They did not mean to make trouble. They just wanted to play. + +They took the box off the car. They threw it in the trash. They said sorry to the people and the animals and the things. They took the car home. They cleaned it and fixed it and hugged it. They learned their lesson. They never attached anything to their cars again. +Tom and Mia like to play in the backyard. They have many toys and blocks. One day, they decide to build a big house with the blocks. They put the blocks on top of each other and make walls and a roof. + +"Look, our house is almost done!" Tom says. "We need a door and a window." + +"OK, I have an idea!" Mia says. She takes a pitch and puts it on the ground. "This can be our door. We can crawl in and out." + +"That's a good idea!" Tom says. He takes a ball and puts it on the wall. "This can be our window. We can see outside." + +They crawl into their house and look around. They feel happy and proud. + +"Wow, this is the best house ever!" Mia says. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Rex. Rex is big and crazy. He likes to run and jump and bark. He sees the house and thinks it is a toy. He runs towards it and jumps on it. + +"Rex, no!" Tom and Mia shout. "That's our house!" + +But it is too late. Rex knocks down the house with his paws and his tail. The blocks fall everywhere. The pitch and the ball roll away. + +Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They look at Rex. Rex looks at them. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He thinks he is playing. + +"Bad dog!" Tom and Mia say. "You ruined our house!" + +But they can't stay mad at Rex for long. He is their dog and they love him. They hug him and pet him. + +"Maybe we can build another house later," Tom says. + +"Or maybe something else," Mia says. + +They laugh and play with Rex. They have fun in the backyard. +Tim and Lily are twins. They like to do many things together. They like to play with their toys, read books, and sing songs. But they do not like to eat dinner.

You will grow big and strong." + +Tim and Lily make faces. They do not want to eat their dinner. They push their plates away. They say, "No, thank you, Mom. We do not like chicken, rice, and carrots. We want cookies and ice cream." + +Mom is not happy. She says, "You cannot have cookies and ice cream until you eat your dinner. That is the rule. If you do not eat your dinner, you will go to bed hungry." + +Tim and Lily are stubborn. They do not listen to Mom. They cross their arms and pout. They say, "We do not care. We do not want dinner. We want cookies and ice cream." + +Mom sighs. She says, "Fine. You can go to your room and wait until Dad comes home. Maybe he can make you eat your dinner." + +Tim and Lily are happy.

They do not know what to say. They feel embarrassed. They know they did something bad. They say, "No, Dad. We did not eat our dinner. We did not like it. We wanted cookies and ice cream." + +Dad is not happy. He says, "You did not eat your dinner? That is not good. You have to eat your dinner. It is good for you. You will grow big and strong. And you have to listen to Mom. She makes dinner for you because she loves you. You have to be polite and say thank you. And you cannot have cookies and ice cream until you eat your dinner. That is the rule." + +Tim and Lily are sad. They know Dad is right. They say, "We are sorry, Dad. We were bad. We did not listen to Mom. We were rude and stubborn. We will eat our dinner. And we will say thank you to Mom. And we will not ask for cookies and ice cream." + +Dad is glad. He says, "That is good, Tim and Lily. I am proud of you. You are good kids.

Lily wanted to pet the lion, but Ben was scared. + +"Mom, can I touch the lion?" Lily asked. + +"No, honey, the lion is not a toy. He might bite you or scratch you.

He makes me cry," Ben said. + +Mom hugged Ben and said, "It's okay, sweetie. The lion is not trying to hurt you. He is just talking to us. He is probably bored and lonely in his cage. Maybe he misses his family and friends." + +Lily felt sorry for the lion. She wished she could make him happy. She waved at the lion and said, "Hello, lion. I am Lily and this is Ben. We are your friends. Don't be sad. We like you." + +The lion looked at Lily and Ben. He saw their smiles and heard their voices. He felt a little better. He stopped roaring and started purring.

He saw so many things he wanted to touch, but he only had a few minutes before his mom would call him back inside. He quickly crawled around the barn looking at all the items.

A friend of mine is selling firewood. I think we should go ask him if we can buy some.†Jane and her mother went to buy firewood, and with it they were able to cook the potato. + +The moral of this story is that if you are ever feeling hungry, never panic.
