Lily happily gave him a tray full of delicious food. + +But Jack was not grateful. He complained that the food was not good enough and demanded more. Lily tried to explain that she had already served him a lot of food, but Jack was not listening. He even called Lily names and said mean things to her. + +Lily felt sad and hurt by Jack's behavior. She realized that some people are not grateful for what they have and that it is important to be kind and thankful. She decided to forgive Jack and continue to serve the people in her village with love and kindness. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside and explore the world around her. One day, she saw a red pole in the park. She went closer to it and touched it. It was very tall and shiny. + +Suddenly, she heard a bird chirping loudly. Lily looked up and saw a little bird on top of the pole. It looked scared and couldn't fly away. Lily knew she had to help the bird. She climbed up the pole and gently took the bird in her hands. + +Lily cared for the bird and gave it some water and food. She waited until the bird was strong enough to fly away. When it finally did, Lily felt very happy and proud of herself. From that day on, she always looked out for animals in need and remembered the red pole that helped her save a little bird. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily.

I used to help my owner on the farm, but now he doesn't need me anymore." + +Lily felt sad for the puppy and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you find a new job." So, she asked her dad if they could adopt the puppy and give him a job as their family pet. Her dad agreed, and the puppy was so happy to have a new job and a new family. + +From that day on, Lily and her new puppy played hide-and-seek together and peeked out from behind trees, always happy and never sad.

When they got to the park, Timmy saw some police officers. They were wearing blue uniforms and driving a blue car too! + +Timmy was curious and asked his mommy what the police officers were doing.

"You don't want to snap your knee like he did." + +Lily didn't understand what her mommy meant, but she remembered the word "snap". Later that day, they went home and Lily was playing with her blocks. Suddenly, she heard a loud "snap" sound. She looked down and saw that her favorite toy had broken in half. + +"Oh no, my toy!" cried Lily. + +"Don't worry," said her mommy. "We can fix it.

She promised to be careful and listen to her mommy's warnings. +One day, Timmy and his mommy went to the store to buy some fish. They looked at all the fish in the tanks and Timmy saw a pretty orange fish. "Mommy, I want that one!" Timmy said. + +"That fish costs a lot of money, Timmy. Do you know what it means to value something?" Mommy asked. + +Timmy shook his head no. "It means to think something is really important and worth a lot of money," Mommy explained. "That fish has a high value because it is rare and pretty." + +Timmy looked at the fish again and felt a little dizzy from staring at it for too long. "I don't want that fish anymore, Mommy.

"You are soaked! You will catch a cold!" + +Lily and Ben feel bad. They did not mean to make Lily's mom angry. They just wanted to have fun. + +"We are sorry, mom," Lily says.

But next time, they will bring a towel. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big box of wires in the garage. They thought they could make something fun with them. + +"Look, I can make a necklace with this wire!" Kim said, wrapping a blue wire around her neck. + +"Be careful, Kim. That wire might hurt you," Tim said. He reminded Kim of the time she got a cut from a sharp rock. + +"I'm not a baby, Tim. I know what I'm doing," Kim said. She was grumpy and did not listen to Tim. + +Tim shrugged and picked up a red wire. He wanted to make a car with it. He twisted and bent the wire until it looked like a car. He was very proud of his work. + +"Look, Kim. I made a car with this wire!" Tim said, showing Kim his car. + +"That's not a car, Tim. That's a mess," Kim said. She laughed at Tim's car.

He grabbed the green wire and tied it to Kim's necklace. He pulled the other end of the wire and ran to the door. + +"Hey, what are you doing, Tim?" Kim said, feeling the wire tug on her neck. + +"Bye, Kim. Have fun with your necklace," Tim said. He opened the door and ran outside. + +Kim tried to follow him, but the wire was too short. She felt the wire choke her neck. She could not breathe. She was scared and sorry. + +"Tim, help me! I'm sorry, Tim! Please, help me!" Kim cried. + +Tim heard Kim's cry. He felt sorry for Kim. He realized he had done a bad thing. He ran back to the garage and untied the wire from Kim's necklace. He hugged Kim and said he was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, too, Tim. I should have been nice to you and your car," Kim said. + +They both learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with wires and to be kind to each other. They decided to play with something else.

It was very pretty and unusual. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "Who left it here?" + +"Maybe it belongs to a king or a queen," Lily said. "Do you think we can try it on?" + +Tom nodded. He climbed up the slide and picked up the crown. He put it on his head. He felt very proud. + +"I am the king of the slide!" he said. "You have to do what I say!" + +Lily did not like that. She wanted to try the crown too. She climbed up the slide and tried to take the crown from Tom. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom said. "You can't have it!" + +They both pulled on the crown. They did not see the man who came to the slide. He was wearing a suit and a hat. He looked angry. + +"Hey, you two, stop that!" he said. "That's my crown! I'm a magician and I need it for my show!" + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They let go of the crown. The man took it and put it in his bag. + +"Sorry, mister," Tom said. + +"We didn't know," Lily said. + +The man smiled. He was not angry anymore. + +"It's okay, kids," he said. "You can watch my show later. I'll show you some magic tricks with the crown. But remember, don't touch things that are not yours. They might be unusual, but they might also be important." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They went back to sliding on the slide. They had more fun without the crown. +Lily liked to collect shells from the beach. She had many shells of different colors and shapes. She wanted to display them in her room, so everyone could see how pretty they were. + +One day, she found a big shell that was shiny and pink. She was very happy and ran to show it to her mom.

She tried to tighten it, but it did not work. She felt embarrassed. She did not want Max to see her broken bike. + +"Hey, Lily, what's wrong?" Max asked, as he rode back to her. He saw her seat and smiled. "Don't worry, I can fix it for you. I have a tool in my backpack. My dad taught me how to fix bikes." + +He took out a small wrench and adjusted the seat. He tightened the screws and made sure it was stable. He handed the bike back to Lily. + +"Here you go, Lily. Your bike is good as new. Now you can race me again." + +Lily smiled and thanked Max.

You can have it instead of the doll." + +Lily looks at the teddy bear. It is soft and fluffy. It has a cute face and a bow. She smiles and hugs the teddy bear. + +"Thank you, Ben," she says. "You are a good friend. I like the teddy bear. He is nice." + +Ben smiles too. He is happy that Lily is happy. They play with the teddy bear and the car. They have fun. + +The dog sees them and comes back. He drops the doll and barks. He wants to play with them too. He is sorry that he took the doll. + +Lily and Ben see the dog and the doll. They are not angry. They understand that the dog was playful. They invite the dog to join them. They throw the ball and the kite and the dog runs after them. They ride the bike and the dog follows them. They cuddle the teddy bear and the doll and the dog licks them. + +They all become friends. They have a lot of fun. They enjoy their walk in the park. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of leaves. The leaves are red, yellow and brown. They are thick and crunchy. + +"Let's gather the leaves!" Tom says. "We can make a big house with them!" + +"OK!" Anna says. "That sounds fun!" + +They run to the pile of leaves. They use their hands and feet to gather the leaves. They make a big circle with the leaves. Then they make a roof with more leaves. They crawl inside their house. They are happy and warm. + +"Can you tell me a story?" Anna asks Tom. "I like stories." + +"OK!" Tom says. "I will tell you a story about a dragon and a princess." + +He starts to tell her a story. He uses his voice to make sounds of the dragon and the princess. Anna listens and smiles. She likes the story. + +They stay in their house of leaves until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to each other and to their house. They promise to come back and play again. They run to their moms and dads. They tell them about their adventure in the park. They are proud of their house and their story. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many birds and squirrels and flowers. They also saw a big pile of wood near a bench. Tom and Lily were curious and wanted to see what was in the wood. + +They walked to the wood and looked inside. They saw a small, furry animal with a long nose and big ears. It was hiding under the wood and looked scared. Tom and Lily had never seen an animal like that before. They thought it was unusual and cute. + +"Hello, little animal," Tom said softly. "What are you doing here? Are you lost?" + +The animal peeked out and made a squeaky sound. It looked hungry and cold. Tom and Lily felt sorry for it and wanted to help it. + +"Mom, can we feed the animal?" Lily asked. "It looks like it needs some food." + +Mom came over and saw the animal. She was surprised and said, "That's a hedgehog, children. It's not a common animal in this park. Maybe it escaped from someone's house or a pet shop. It's not safe for it to stay here. There are dogs and cars and people who might hurt it." + +Mom took out some bread and water from her bag and gave them to Tom and Lily. They broke the bread into small pieces and put them near the wood. They also poured some water into a bottle cap and placed it next to the bread. + +"Here you go, little hedgehog," Lily said. "Eat some bread and drink some water. You must be thirsty and hungry." + +The hedgehog smelled the food and water and came out of the wood. It nibbled on the bread and lapped up the water. It looked happier and more relaxed. It thanked Tom and Lily with a friendly snort. + +Tom and Lily smiled and petted the hedgehog gently. They liked the hedgehog and wanted to play with it. But they also knew that the hedgehog needed a better home. + +"Mom, can we keep the hedgehog?" Tom asked. "It's so cute and unusual. We can take care of it and make it happy." + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, children. The hedgehog is a wild animal. It belongs to nature, not to a house. It needs a place where it can find its own food and shelter and friends. We can't keep it as a pet. But we can help it find a new home." + +Mom called the animal shelter and told them about the hedgehog. They said they would come and pick it up and take it to a safe place. Tom and Lily said goodbye to the hedgehog and gave it a hug. They hoped it would be happy and healthy in its new home. They also learned a lot about hedgehogs and unusual animals that day. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They were very independent and did not listen to their mom. One day, they saw a big pond with water and fish. They wanted to catch some fish and have fun. + +"Let's go to the pond, Lily!" Ben said. "We can use this stick and this string to make a fishing rod." + +"Okay, Ben!" Lily said. "But don't go too close to the water. It is deep and dangerous." + +They ran to the pond and started to fish. They did not see their mom who was looking for them. She was very worried and scared. + +"Ben, I got one!" Lily shouted. She pulled the string and a small fish came out of the water. She was very happy and proud. + +"Wow, Lily, good job!" Ben said. He wanted to catch a fish too. He moved closer to the water and threw his stick and string. But he threw too hard and lost his balance. He fell into the water and splashed. + +"Ben, Ben, help!" Lily screamed. She dropped her fish and ran to the water. She tried to reach Ben, but he was too far. He was sinking and struggling. He could not swim. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Lily cried. She hoped her mom would come and save Ben. But her mom did not hear her. She was still looking for them in the other side of the park. She did not know they were in trouble. + +Ben and Lily were alone. Ben was in the water. Lily was on the land. They were very afraid and sad. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had not gone to the pond. They wished they had not been so independent. +Tom and Jen were friends. They 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 buttons for eyes. + +"Let's celebrate!" Tom said. "We made the best snowman ever!" + +They ran to the house to get some hot chocolate. They left their gloves on the snowman's hands. They did not see the dog that was watching them. + +The dog was hungry. He smelled the carrot nose. He ran to the snowman and bit the nose. He liked the taste. He saw the buttons. He bit the buttons. He liked the crunch. He saw the gloves. He bit the gloves. He did not like the rough. He spat them out. + +Tom and Jen came back with their hot chocolate. They saw the snowman. He had no nose, no eyes, and no gloves. They saw the dog. He had a carrot and two buttons in his mouth. He wagged his tail. + +"Bad dog!" Tom and Jen shouted. "You ruined our snowman!" + +They were sad. They cried. They hugged each other. They drank their hot chocolate. They decided to make another snowman. They got new gloves. They hid the carrot and the buttons. They hoped the dog would not come back. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth and a loud bark. + +"Look, a dog!" Tom says. He likes dogs. He wants to touch the dog. + +"No, Tom, don't!" Mia says. She is scared of dogs. She thinks the dog is bad. She wants to run away. + +Tom does not listen to Mia. He walks to the dog. He puts his hand out. He wants to touch the dog's fur. + +But the dog does not like Tom. The dog growls and snaps. It bites Tom's hand. Tom cries out. He feels pain. + +"Help, help!" Mia shouts. She runs to Tom. She hugs him. She is sorry for him. + +A man comes. He is the dog's owner. He pulls the dog away. He says sorry to Tom and Mia. He says the dog is not bad, but it does not like strangers. + +Tom and Mia go home. They tell their moms what happened. Their moms give them hugs and kisses. They put a bandage on Tom's hand. They say they are brave. + +Tom and Mia learn a lesson. They learn to be careful with dogs. They learn to listen to each other. They learn to think before they touch. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play on the sand. They had a big bucket and a small spade. They wanted to make a castle with shells and stones. But they had to hurry, because the sea was coming closer and closer. + +Tom was not shy. He ran to the water and looked for shells. He found many pretty ones and put them in the bucket. He was not afraid of the waves. He liked to splash and jump. + +Lily was shy. She stayed on the sand and looked for stones. She found some smooth ones and some shiny ones. She was afraid of the water. She did not like to get wet. + +Tom came back with the bucket full of shells. He said, "Look, Lily, I have so many shells! Let's make the castle now!" He poured the shells on the sand and started to dig. + +Lily came with the stones. She said, "Look, Tom, I have some stones! Let's make the castle now!" She put the stones on the shells and started to pat. + +They worked hard and made a big castle. It had walls and towers and a gate. They were happy and proud. They said, "This is our castle! It is the best castle ever!" + +But then they saw the sea. It was very near. It was making big waves. It was coming to their castle. They were scared and sad. They said, "Oh no, the sea will take our castle! What can we do?" + +Tom had an idea. He said, "Let's move the castle! Let's make it higher and farther from the water!" He grabbed the bucket and the spade and ran to a new spot. + +Lily had an idea too. She said, "Let's save the shells and the stones! Let's put them in the bucket and take them with us!" She grabbed the shells and the stones and ran after Tom. + +They hurried and moved the castle. They made it higher and farther from the water. They used the shells and the stones again. They made it even prettier and stronger. They were happy and proud again. They said, "This is our new castle! It is the best castle ever!" + +They looked at the sea. It was far away. It was making small waves. It was not coming to their castle. They were not scared and sad anymore. They were glad and calm. They said, "The sea is nice. It gives us shells and stones. It lets us make castles. We like the sea." +Sara and Tom were playing in the park with their dog, Max. Max was a good and obedient dog. He always listened to Sara and Tom and did what they said. Sara and Tom loved Max very much. + +They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. Sara went first. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She held on to her zipper, because it was shiny and pretty. She liked her zipper. She slid down the slide and laughed. It was fun! + +Tom wanted to go next. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. He did not hold on to his zipper, because he forgot. He slid down the slide and smiled. It was fun! + +But then, something bad happened.

She saw his zipper and his pants. She felt sorry for him. She hugged him and said, "Don't cry, Tom. It's OK. I will help you." + +Max heard Tom cry and ran to him. He saw his zipper and his pants. He wanted to help him. He used his teeth and pulled on the zipper. He pulled and pulled and pulled. He was strong and brave. He freed the zipper from the slide. He saved Tom! + +Tom stopped crying and looked at Max. He saw his zipper and his pants. He was happy and grateful. He hugged Max and said, "Thank you, Max. You are a good and obedient dog. You saved me!" + +Sara smiled and said, "Yes, Max. You are a good and obedient dog. You saved Tom!" + +Max wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy and proud. He loved Sara and Tom very much. They were his best friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many flowers.

"Do you want one too?" + +Max did not answer. He did not like flowers. He liked cars and trucks and planes. He ignored Lily and ran to the sandbox. He found a toy car and made it go vroom vroom. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to play with Max. She picked more flowers and made a crown. She put it on her head and walked to the sandbox. + +"Max, look at me! I am a princess!" she said, smiling. "Do you want to be a prince?" + +Max did not look at her. He did not like princesses. He liked pirates and cowboys and astronauts. He ignored Lily and dug a hole. He found a worm and made it wiggle wiggle. + +Lily felt mad. She wanted Max to pay attention to her. She threw her crown on the ground and stomped her feet. + +"Max, you are mean! You never listen to me! You are not my friend!" she said, yelling. + +Max looked at her. He saw her angry face and heard her loud voice. He felt scared. He did not want Lily to be mad at him. He did not want to lose his friend. + +"Lily, I am sorry. I did not mean to ignore you. I just like different things. You are still my friend." he said, softly. + +Lily looked at him. She saw his sorry face and heard his soft voice. She felt sorry too. She did not want to yell at him.

He sees Mia looking at him and smiles. + +"Mia, this toast is not dirty. It is yummy. Look, I have brown spots too. They are not dirt. They are toast. Here, you can have some of mine." He says.

They see a small lamp and a blanket. They also see a box with a lock. + +"What is in the box?" Lily wonders. + +"I don't know. Maybe a toy or a book," Tom says.

He said he had an order from a lady who liked flowers too. He asked Lily if she would sell him some of her flowers. + +Lily was not sure. She loved her flowers and did not want to give them away. But she also wanted to make the lady happy. She asked the man how many flowers he needed. He said he needed ten flowers. He said he would pay her money for them. + +Lily thought for a moment. She decided to sell him some of her flowers. But she did not want to sell him all of her red ones, or all of her yellow ones, or all of her pink ones.

He gave her some money and put the flowers in his truck. He said he would be gentle with them and take good care of them. He said the lady would love them.

They had a big ball and a hoop in the park. They took turns to throw the ball and try to make it go in the hoop. + +One day, Tim wanted to set the hoop higher. He said, "I want to make it harder. It is too easy now." He climbed on a bench and lifted the hoop up. + +Sam did not like that. He said, "No, Tim, don't do that. It is too high for me. I can't reach it. Let's keep it low." He tried to pull the hoop down. + +Tim was stubborn. He said, "No, Sam, I want it high. It is more fun. You are just scared. Let go of the hoop." He pushed Sam away. + +Sam was angry. He said, "Fine, Tim, you can have it your way. But I don't want to play with you anymore. You are not a good friend. You are selfish." He took the ball and walked away. + +Tim was sad. He said, "Sam, wait, come back. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please, let's play together." He ran after Sam. + +But it was too late. Sam did not listen. He did not look back. He crossed the street without looking. A car was coming fast. It hit Sam. Sam fell down. He did not get up. The ball rolled away. + +Tim screamed. He cried. He wished he had not set the hoop higher.

Lily said. + +"What is it, darlings?" mom said. + +Ben and Lily showed mom their surprise. They had cut out paper hats and crowns. They had taped them on their heads. They looked very funny. + +"Look, mom, we are the king and the queen of the cake!" Ben said. + +"We made these hats for our birthday!" Lily said. + +Mom laughed. She hugged Ben and Lily. She thought they were very clever and cute. + +"That is a wonderful surprise, my loves!" mom said. "You are the king and the queen of the cake. And you know what? You can have a slice of cake now. You deserve it." + +Ben and Lily were happy. They thanked mom. They took a slice of cake each. It was delicious. They felt fit and strong. They were ready to have more fun. They heard a knock on the door. It was dad and grandma and grandpa. They came to celebrate with them. + +"Happy birthday, Ben and Lily!" they said. + +"Thank you!" Ben and Lily said. "We are the king and the queen of the cake. Do you want some?" +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big pumpkin in the garden. It is orange and round. + +"Wow, look at the pumpkin!" Tom says. "It is so big!" + +"Can we touch it?" Lily asks. "It looks so smooth!" + +They run to the pumpkin. They touch it and feel it. It is hard and heavy. + +"Who put the pumpkin here?" Tom wonders. "Maybe it is for Halloween!" + +"Maybe it is a magic pumpkin!" Lily says. "Maybe it can talk!" + +They lean closer to the pumpkin. They listen. They hear nothing. + +"Hello, pumpkin!" Tom says. "Can you hear us?" + +"Hello, pumpkin!" Lily says. "Can you talk to us?" + +They wait. They hear nothing. + +"Maybe it is shy," Tom says. "Maybe it needs a friend." + +"Maybe we can be its friends," Lily says. "Maybe we can make it happy." + +They smile at the pumpkin. They hug it. They sing to it. + +They do not see the farmer behind the fence. He is watching them. He is nosy. He wants to know what they are doing. + +"Hey, you two!" he shouts. "What are you doing with my pumpkin?" + +Tom and Lily jump. They are scared. They let go of the pumpkin. + +"Sorry, sir!" Tom says. "We did not know it was yours!" + +"We just wanted to play with it!" Lily says. "We thought it was a magic pumpkin!" + +The farmer laughs. He is not angry. He is amused. + +"It is not a magic pumpkin," he says. "It is just a pumpkin. But it is a very good pumpkin. I grew it for the fair." + +"Can we go to the fair with you?" Tom asks. "Can we see more pumpkins?" + +"Sure, you can," the farmer says. "But you have to ask your mom and dad first. And you have to be nice to the pumpkin. It is not a toy. It is a prize." + +Tom and Lily nod. They run to their house. They ask their mom and dad. They say yes. They go to the fair with the farmer. They see more pumpkins. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily likes to sit with her uncle Tom. Uncle Tom is young and fun. He tells her stories and plays with her toys. Lily loves her uncle Tom very much. + +One day, uncle Tom comes to visit Lily and her mom. He brings a big bag with him. Lily is curious and excited. What is in the bag? She asks uncle Tom. + +Uncle Tom smiles and says, "It is a surprise for you, Lily. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, please!" + +Uncle Tom opens the bag and takes out a fluffy white puppy. The puppy wags its tail and licks uncle Tom's face. Lily gasps and claps her hands. She loves puppies! + +Uncle Tom says, "This is your new friend, Lily. His name is Snowy. He is a gift from me to you. Do you like him?" + +Lily runs to uncle Tom and hugs him. She says, "Thank you, uncle Tom! I like him very much! He is so cute and soft!" + +Uncle Tom says, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like him. But you have to take good care of him, okay? He needs food, water, and love." + +Lily says, "Okay, uncle Tom. I will take good care of him. I will feed him, give him water, and love him a lot." + +Uncle Tom says, "That's good, Lily. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you sit with me and Snowy on the couch? We can watch a movie and eat some popcorn." + +Lily says, "Okay, uncle Tom. That sounds fun. I love you, uncle Tom. And I love Snowy, too." + +Uncle Tom says, "I love you, too, Lily. And I love Snowy, too. We are a happy family." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big bag of wool on the sofa. It is their mom's wool. She uses it to make sweaters and scarves. The wool is expensive. Mom tells them not to touch it. + +But Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see what the wool feels like. They sneak to the sofa and open the bag. The wool is soft and fluffy. They take some out and make balls and snakes and hats. They have fun with the wool. + +Mom comes back from the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is angry. She says, "Anna and Ben, what have you done? This is my wool. It is expensive. You should not touch it. You have to put it back in the bag." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They say, "Sorry, mom. We just wanted to play. We did not know it was expensive." + +Mom says, "I know you did not mean to be bad. But you have to listen to me. The wool is not a toy. It is for making clothes. You have to be careful with it. Now, help me clean up." + +Anna and Ben nod. They help mom put the wool back in the bag. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We will not touch the wool again." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. I love you. How about we play with your toys instead?" + +Anna and Ben hug mom. They say, "We love you too, mom. Yes, let's play with our toys." + +They go to the living room and play with their toys. They do not kick the wool. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They share a room and a bed. They like to play and talk, but sometimes they fight. + +One night, it is very hot. Tom and Lily cannot sleep. They are sweaty and thirsty. They toss and turn in the bed. + +"Tom, you are too close to me. Move away!" Lily says. + +"No, you move away! You are taking all the space!" Tom says. + +They push and pull each other. They make a lot of noise. + +"Shh, be quiet! Mom and Dad are sleeping!" Lily says. + +"I don't care! You are nosy and mean!" Tom says. + +They keep arguing. They do not hear the door open. Mom comes in. + +"What is going on here? Why are you not sleeping?" Mom asks. + +"Mom, Tom is bothering me! He is too hot and he is nosy!" Lily says. + +"Mom, Lily is bothering me! She is too hot and she is mean!" Tom says. + +Mom sighs. She is tired and angry. She does not like to see her twins fight. + +"Enough! You both need to sleep. It is late and you have school tomorrow. Stop fighting and be nice to each other. I love you both, but you are making me mad. Now, hug and say sorry, and then go to sleep. Or else, you will be in trouble!" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They are scared of Mom. They do not want to be in trouble. They hug and say sorry. They lie down and close their eyes. They are still hot, but they are quiet. They do not want to fight anymore. They want to sleep. + +Mom smiles. She is glad they are sleeping. She kisses them good night. She turns off the light. She leaves the room. + +Tom and Lily fall asleep. They dream of cooler nights and happier days. They are twins. They love each other. +Tom is a dog. He has a job. His job is to guard the farm. He likes his job. He barks at bad animals and people. He is a brave dog. + +One night, Tom hears a noise. He sees a big fox. The fox wants to eat the chickens. Tom runs to the chicken coop. He growls at the fox. + +"Go away, fox!" Tom says. "This is my farm. You cannot have the chickens." + +The fox is not scared. He snarls at Tom. He jumps at him. He tries to bite Tom. Tom dodges the fox. He bites the fox's tail. The fox yelps. He runs away. + +Tom is happy. He has done his job. He has saved the chickens. He goes back to his house. He gets a treat from the farmer. The farmer pets Tom. + +"Good dog, Tom!" the farmer says. "You are a brave dog. You are my best friend." +Sam and Mia were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big lollipop on a bench. It was red and shiny and smelled sweet. + +"Wow, look at that lollipop!" Sam said. "I want it!" + +"Me too!" Mia said. "But who does it belong to?" + +"Who cares?" Sam said. "Let's take it and share it!" + +They ran to the bench and grabbed the lollipop. They did not see the man who was sitting on the other side of the bench. He was reading a book and had put the lollipop down for a moment. + +"Hey, that's my lollipop!" the man shouted. "Give it back!" + +Sam and Mia were scared. They tried to run away, but the man was faster. He caught them and took the lollipop from their hands. + +"That's not nice!" the man said. "You should not take things that are not yours. That's stealing!" + +He looked at the lollipop and saw that it was broken and dirty. He was angry and sad. + +"This was a special lollipop," he said. "My grandma gave it to me for my birthday. She said it was tough and would last a long time. But you ruined it!" + +He threw the lollipop in the trash and walked away. + +Sam and Mia felt bad. They had done something wrong and hurt someone's feelings. They had lost a friend and a lollipop. They learned a lesson. + +They should have asked before they took something. They should have been kind and honest. They should have respected other people's things. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a fish in the pond. The fish is big and shiny. + +"Look, a fish!" Lily says. "Can we catch it?" + +Ben nods. He has a net. He tries to catch the fish, but the fish is fast. It swims away. + +"Let me try!" Lily says. She takes the net. She is careful and quiet. She catches the fish. + +"Wow, you did it!" Ben says. "What will we do with the fish?" + +Lily thinks. She likes the fish. It has pretty scales and eyes. She does not want to hurt it. + +"Let's cook it!" Ben says. "We can eat it for lunch." + +Lily shakes her head. She does not want to cook the fish. She wants to be its friend. + +"No, let's keep it!" Lily says. "We can give it a name and a home. It can be our pet." + +Ben frowns. He is hungry. He wants to cook the fish. He thinks Lily is silly. + +"No, let's cook it!" Ben says again. "It is just a fish. It is not a pet." + +Lily and Ben argue. They both want the fish. They pull the net. The fish is scared. It flaps and splashes. + +"Stop!" a voice says. "You are hurting the fish!" + +Lily and Ben look up. They see a man. He is the park keeper. He has a hat and a badge. He is angry. + +"Who are you?" Ben asks. + +"I am the park keeper," the man says. "This is my fish. His name is Bob. He is loyal and smart. He lives in the pond. He is not for cooking or keeping. He is for watching and learning. You have to let him go." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They did not know the fish had a name and a home. They did not know the fish was loyal and smart. They did not know the fish was the park keeper's friend. + +"Sorry, Mr. Park Keeper," Lily says. "We did not mean to hurt Bob. We will let him go." + +"Sorry, Mr. Park Keeper," Ben says. "We did not know Bob was your fish. We will not catch him again." + +The park keeper smiles. He takes the net. He gently puts Bob back in the pond. Bob swims happily. He winks at Lily and Ben. + +"Thank you, kids," the park keeper says. "You are good and kind. You can come and visit Bob anytime. He likes to see new faces. But remember, he is not for cooking or keeping. He is for watching and learning." + +Lily and Ben nod. They wave goodbye to Bob and the park keeper. They go to find something else to play with. They are still friends. They learned something new today. They learned to respect the fish. +Lily and Max are dogs who live in a big house with their humans. They love to play and run in the garden, but sometimes they get bored. One day, their humans say they are going to the park. Lily and Max are very happy. They wag their tails and bark. + +At the park, there are many other dogs and people. Lily and Max run and chase each other. They see a big pond with ducks and frogs. They want to swim, but their humans say no. They see a slide and a swing. They want to try, but their humans say no. They see a sandbox with toys. They want to dig, but their humans say no. + +Then, they see something shiny under a bench. They go closer and sniff. It is a bone! A big, juicy, tasty bone! Lily and Max look around. There is no one near the bench. They think it is their lucky day. They grab the bone and run away. They find a quiet spot under a tree. They start to chew and gnaw the bone. It is delicious. + +But soon, they hear a loud voice. It is a boy. He is angry. He says, "Hey, that's my bone! Give it back! You dirty dogs!" He runs after Lily and Max. He tries to take the bone from them. Lily and Max growl and bark. They do not want to share. They think it is their bone. + +Their humans hear the noise. They come and see what is happening. They see the boy and the bone. They see Lily and Max. They are dirty and messy. They have mud and grass on their fur. They have bits of bone on their teeth. Their humans are not happy. They say, "Lily and Max, what have you done? That is not your bone. That is the boy's bone. You have to give it back. And you have to say sorry. And you have to take a bath. You are very naughty dogs!" + +Lily and Max feel bad. They drop the bone. They look at the boy. They wag their tails and lick his face. They say, "Woof, woof, sorry, sorry." The boy smiles. He says, "It's okay. I forgive you. You can have some of my bone. But only a little bit. And you have to be nice to me and my friends." Lily and Max nod. They say, "Woof, woof, thank you, thank you." + +They share the bone with the boy. They make new friends. They play and have fun. They forget about the pond, the slide, the swing, and the sandbox. They think the park is the best place ever. They are happy dogs. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs and worms. Sara had a carrot that she had picked from the vegetable patch. She wanted to share it with Tom, but Tom did not like carrots. He liked apples and bananas. + +"Here, Tom, have some carrot. It is good for you," Sara said, holding out the orange stick. + +"No, thank you, Sara. I do not want carrot. I want apple or banana," Tom said, shaking his head. + +"Please, Tom, just try a little bit. Maybe you will like it," Sara said, moving the carrot closer to Tom's mouth. + +"No, no, no!" Tom shouted, pushing the carrot away. He was angry and did not want to try new things. He slapped Sara's hand and made her drop the carrot. + +"Ow, Tom, that hurt! Why did you slap me?" Sara cried, rubbing her hand. She was sad and did not understand why Tom was so mean. + +"I'm sorry, Sara, I did not mean to hurt you. I just do not like carrot. It is yucky and ordinary. I like sweet and juicy things," Tom said, feeling sorry for Sara. + +Sara picked up the carrot from the ground and wiped it on her dress. She looked at Tom and said, "Carrot is not yucky or ordinary. It is crunchy and tasty. And it is good for your eyes and your teeth. You should try new things, Tom. Maybe you will find something you like." + +Tom thought about what Sara said. He did not want to hurt Sara again. He wanted to be a good friend. He decided to try a little bit of carrot. He took a small bite and chewed it slowly. He was surprised. It was not as bad as he thought. It was crunchy and a little sweet. He smiled and said, "You are right, Sara. Carrot is not so bad. Thank you for sharing it with me." + +Sara smiled back and said, "You are welcome, Tom. I'm glad you liked it. Do you want some more?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, please. And maybe next time we can try some apple or banana too." + +Sara and Tom hugged and continued to play in the garden. They learned to share and try new things. They were happy and had fun. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a large kite in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It flies high and fast. + +"Wow, look at the kite!" Ben says. "I want a kite like that!" + +"Me too!" Mia says. "Let's ask our moms if we can have a kite." + +They run to their moms, who are sitting on a bench. They point to the sky and say, "Mom, mom, can we have a kite? A large kite?" + +Their moms smile and say, "Maybe. But first, you have to do something for us. You have to help us clean up the park. There is a lot of trash here. Can you do that?" + +Ben and Mia nod. They want to be good and help their moms. They take a bag and start to pick up the trash. They find cans, bottles, wrappers, and papers. They put them in the bag. They work hard and fast. + +"Good job, Ben and Mia!" their moms say. "You are very helpful and kind. You deserve a reward. Here, we have a surprise for you." + +They give them each a kite. Ben's kite is green and orange and purple. Mia's kite is pink and white and gold. They are large and beautiful. + +"Thank you, mom!" Ben and Mia say. "We love our kites!" + +They run to the field and start to fly their kites. They feel happy and proud. They watch their kites soar and dance in the sky. They are friends with the large kite. +Lily liked to collect shiny rocks. She called them minerals. She had a big box full of them. She wanted to show them to her friend Max, who lived next door. + +One day, she took her box and went to Max's house. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. She saw Max's bike in the yard. She thought he might be in the backyard. She walked around the house and saw a big fence. She heard Max's voice on the other side. + +"Max, are you there?" she called. + +"Hi, Lily!" Max said. "I'm here, but I can't come out. There's a big dog in the yard. He's very mean and loud. He barks at me and tries to bite me. He won't let me go." + +Lily felt sorry for Max. She wanted to help him. She looked at the fence and saw a small hole. She thought she could crawl through it. She was a little scared, but she wanted to be brave. + +She put her box down and said, "Don't worry, Max. I'll come and get you. I'll show you my minerals. They're very pretty and sparkly. Maybe the dog will like them too." + +She crawled through the hole and entered the yard. She saw the big dog. He was black and brown and had sharp teeth. He saw Lily and growled. He ran towards her. + +Lily was very afraid. She wished she had stayed outside. She grabbed a mineral from her box and held it in front of her. She hoped the dog would stop and look at it. + +The dog did stop. He looked at the mineral. He tilted his head and sniffed it. He liked it. He wagged his tail and licked Lily's hand. He was not mean and loud. He was friendly and curious. + +Lily smiled and petted the dog. She said, "Hi, dog. You're very nice. Do you want to see more minerals? I have many. They're for me and Max. He's my friend. He's stuck behind the fence. Can you help him?" + +The dog barked and nodded. He followed Lily to the fence. He saw Max and wagged his tail. He pushed the fence with his nose and made a bigger hole. He let Max crawl through it. + +Max was very happy. He hugged Lily and thanked her. He said, "Lily, you're very brave. You saved me from the dog. How did you do it?" + +Lily showed him her minerals. She said, "I used these. They're my minerals. They're very shiny and pretty. The dog liked them too. He's not mean. He's nice. He's our friend now." + +Max and Lily played with the dog and the minerals. They had a lot of fun. They learned that sometimes things are not what they seem. They learned that being brave can make new friends. They learned that minerals are very useful and beautiful. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Sara has a big doll. Ben has a small car. They play together in the park. + +One day, Sara sees Ben's car. She likes it. She says, "Can I have your car?" Ben says, "No, this is my car. I like it." Sara says, "Please, I want your car. It is fast and fun." Ben says, "No, you have a doll. You can play with your doll." + +Sara thinks. She has an idea. She says, "How about we trade? You give me your car, and I give you my doll. Then we both have something new." Ben thinks. He likes Sara's doll. It is big and soft. He says, "OK, let's trade. You can have my car, and I can have your doll." + +They trade their toys. Sara is happy. She has a car. She zooms it on the grass. Ben is happy. He has a doll. He hugs it and talks to it. They play together in the park. + +But soon, they miss their old toys. Sara's car is fast, but it is also loud and hard. Ben's doll is soft, but it is also heavy and quiet. They look at each other. They say, "Can we trade back? I want my old toy. I like it more." They trade back their toys. Sara has her doll. Ben has his car. They are happy again. They play together in the park. + +They learn that trading is not always good. Sometimes, it is better to keep what you have. They also learn that sharing is good. Sometimes, they let each other play with their toys. They are good friends. They have fun in the park. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big ball. They would pass the ball to each other and try to catch it. Sometimes they would kick the ball and run after it. + +One day, they found a new pair of shoes in their room. They were wide and shiny and had laces. Lily and Ben wanted to try them on. They took off their old shoes and put on the new ones. They felt very big and funny on their feet. + +They decided to play with the ball and the new shoes. They passed the ball to each other and tried to kick it. But the shoes were too wide and they kept missing the ball. They also tripped and fell a lot. They got angry and sad. They blamed each other for being bad at playing. + +Mom came to see what was wrong. She saw them crying and fighting. She asked them why they were wearing the new shoes. They said they wanted to try them on. Mom said the shoes were not theirs. They were for their cousin Sam, who had bigger feet than them. She said they should not take things that did not belong to them. She said they should be happy with what they had and share with others. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They took off the new shoes and put on their old ones. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They hugged and made up. They played with the ball and the old shoes. They had fun and laughed. They learned to be grateful and kind. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pick the prunes from the tree and eat them. They were sweet and juicy. + +"Look, I found a big one!" Tom said, holding a prune in his hand. + +"Me too!" Lila said, showing her prune. "Let's carry them to the basket." + +They ran to the basket, but it was empty. Someone had taken all their prunes. + +"Who did this?" Tom asked, looking around. + +"Maybe it was the cat," Lila said, pointing to a furry shape under the tree. + +They walked to the cat and saw that it was sleeping. Next to it, there was a pile of prunes with bite marks. + +"Bad cat!" Tom said, shaking his finger. "You ate our prunes!" + +The cat opened one eye and meowed. It did not look sorry. + +Lila and Tom decided to leave the cat alone. They went back to the tree and picked more prunes. They carried them to a new basket and hid it behind a bush. + +"Let's eat some prunes now," Lila said, smiling. + +"OK, but don't tell the cat," Tom said, winking. + +They sat down and enjoyed their prunes. They were happy and full. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big cage with a lion inside. The lion looked sad and angry. He roared and paced around the cage. + +"Look, a lion!" Tom said. "He is big and strong. I want to pet him." + +"No, Tom, don't!" Lily said. "He is not a nice lion. He can hurt you. He has sharp teeth and claws." + +"But he is lonely. Maybe he wants a friend," Tom said. He went closer to the cage. He reached his hand to touch the lion. + +The lion saw Tom's hand. He was hungry and bored. He did not want a friend. He wanted to eat. He bit Tom's hand hard. Tom screamed and pulled his hand back. It was bleeding and hurting. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. She ran to Tom and hugged him. She was scared and sorry. + +"I'm not okay. It hurts a lot. The lion is mean. He made me suffer," Tom said. He cried and sobbed. + +A man came to help Tom. He was a zookeeper. He saw what happened. He was angry and worried. + +"What are you doing here? This is not a place for children. This lion is dangerous. He is not a pet. He is a wild animal. He suffers in this cage. He needs more space and freedom. You are lucky he did not hurt you more," the man said. He took Tom to the first aid. He bandaged his hand and gave him some medicine. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They never went near the lion cage again. They respected the lion and his needs. They hoped the lion would find a better home. They said sorry to the lion and the man. They went home with their mom and dad. They were more careful and kind. +Tom and Amy were friends who liked to play with colors. They had many crayons and papers and books with pictures. They also had a big box where they kept their colors. One day, they decided to make a surprise for their mom. They wanted to color the whole wall with their crayons. + +They took the box and went to the wall. They opened the box and saw all the colors. They were so happy and excited. They started to color the wall with their crayons. They made flowers and stars and hearts and animals. They talked and laughed and had fun. + +"Look, Amy, I made a sun!" Tom said. + +"Wow, Tom, it's so bright and yellow! I made a rainbow!" Amy said. + +They were so proud of their work. They wanted to show their mom. They closed the box and ran to find her. They did not see the cat that was sleeping on the couch. The cat woke up and saw the box. He was curious and jumped on the box. The box fell down and opened. All the colors scattered on the floor. The cat was scared and ran away. + +Mom came home and saw the mess. She saw the colors on the floor and the wall. She was very angry and sad. She did not like the surprise. She did not see the flowers and stars and hearts and animals. She only saw the crayons and the papers and the books. She yelled at Tom and Amy and told them to go to their room. She said they were naughty and careless and wasteful. She said they had to clean up the mess and throw away the colors. + +Tom and Amy were very sad and sorry. They did not mean to make mom angry and sad. They only wanted to make her happy and proud. They did not know the cat would make the colors scatter. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had been more compassionate and careful with their colors. They wished they had not colored the wall. They wished they had a different surprise for their mom. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to travel with their bikes. They have big wheels and helmets. They go fast and have fun. + +One day, they see a big park. It has slides and swings and a sandbox. They want to play there. They park their bikes and run to the park. + +"Look, Tom, a slide!" Lily says. She climbs up the ladder and slides down. She laughs and feels happy. + +"Wait for me, Lily!" Tom says. He follows her and slides down too. He smiles and feels happy. + +They play on the slide for a while. Then they see a big puddle. It is wet and muddy. They wonder what it feels like. + +"Let's jump in the puddle, Lily!" Tom says. He runs to the puddle and jumps in. He splashes and makes noise. + +"Tom, you are wet and dirty!" Lily says. She runs to the puddle and jumps in too. She splashes and makes noise. + +They jump in the puddle for a while. They are wet and dirty, but they don't care. They have fun. + +They hear a voice. It is Lily's mom. She has come to pick them up. + +"Lily, Tom, it's time to go home!" she says. She sees them in the puddle. She shakes her head and sighs. + +"Come on, you two, let's get you cleaned up!" she says. She helps them out of the puddle and gives them towels. She puts their bikes in the car. + +Lily and Tom say goodbye to each other. They hug and smile. + +"Bye, Tom, see you tomorrow!" Lily says. + +"Bye, Lily, that was fun!" Tom says. + +They get in the car and go home. They are wet and dirty, but they are happy. They had a good day. They like to travel and play. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a swing. They run to the tree and take turns on the swing. + +"Look at me, Anna!" Ben says. "I can hang from the swing with one hand!" + +"Wow, Ben, you are so strong!" Anna says. "Can I try too?" + +"Sure, Anna, but be careful. The swing is high and the ground is hard." + +Anna nods and climbs on the swing. She swings back and forth, then lets go of one hand. She hangs from the swing like Ben. + +"Yay, Anna, you did it!" Ben cheers. + +But then, Anna slips and falls from the swing. She lands on the ground and hurts her knee. She cries out loud. + +"Anna, are you okay?" Ben asks. He jumps off the swing and runs to Anna. He sees blood on her knee. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry!" Anna says. "It hurts so much!" + +"Don't be sorry, Anna, it's not your fault. Come on, let's go to the nurse. She will make it better." + +Ben helps Anna stand up and they walk to the nurse's office. The nurse is kind and gentle. She cleans Anna's knee and puts a band-aid on it. She gives Anna a lollipop and Ben a sticker. + +"Here you go, sweeties," the nurse says. "This is sugar. It will make you feel happy." + +"Thank you, nurse," Anna and Ben say. + +They smile and hug each other. They are still friends. They decide to play something else in the park.

They were going to visit Lila's grandma, who was sick. Lila was sad because she missed her grandma a lot. + +"Mom, will grandma get better?" Lila asked. + +"Grandma is very strong and brave, honey. The doctors are helping her heal. She loves you very much and wants to see you," mom said. + +Lila hugged her mom and smiled. She hoped grandma would heal soon and be healthy again. + +At the airport, they saw many people and planes. Lila liked to watch the planes take off and land. She wondered how they could fly so high and fast. She saw a big plane with a red cross on it. + +"Mom, what is that plane?" Lila asked. + +"That is a special plane, honey. It carries people who are hurt or sick and need to go to another hospital. The people who work on that plane are called nurses and doctors. They help people heal, too," mom said. + +Lila thought that was very nice of them. She wished she could help people heal, too.

Sara asks Ben to help her with the tower, but Ben refuses. + +"No, I want to make a car. Cars are fun. Towers are boring," Ben says. + +Sara gets angry. She thinks Ben is not smart. She tries to take some of his blocks, but he pushes her away. + +"Stop it, Sara! These are my blocks. Go away!" Ben shouts. + +Sara cries. She runs to her mom, who is in the kitchen. She tells her what happened. + +"Mom, Ben is mean. He refuses to play with me. He says towers are boring. He pushed me," Sara says. + +Mom hugs Sara. She tells her to calm down. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. Ben is not mean. He just likes different things. Maybe you can find something else to play with. How about the teddy bear?" Mom says. + +Sara nods. She likes the teddy bear. She goes to the living room, where the teddy bear is under the sofa. She pulls it out and hugs it. + +"Hello, teddy. You are smart. You like towers. Do you want to play with me?" Sara says. + +The teddy bear does not answer, but Sara does not mind. She smiles and takes it to her room. She builds a tower with her blocks and puts the teddy bear on top. She is happy. +Lily and Max were playing with cards. They liked to make houses and towers with them. But Max wanted to have more cards than Lily. He took some cards from her pile when she was not looking. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. "Give me back my cards!" + +"No, they are mine now!" Max said. He held the cards tightly in his hands. + +Lily was angry. She tried to grab the cards from Max, but he pushed her away. She fell on the floor and hurt her knee. She started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily crying and Max with the cards. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +"Max took my cards and pushed me!" Lily said. + +"Max, is that true?" Mom asked. + +Max looked down. He knew he did something bad. He nodded. + +Mom was not happy. She took the cards from Max and gave them back to Lily. She hugged Lily and kissed her knee. + +"Are you okay, sweetie?" Mom asked. + +Lily nodded. She felt better. + +Mom looked at Max. She said, "Max, you need to say sorry to Lily. And you need to go to your room for a time out. You can't play with cards or anything else until you learn to share and be nice." + +Max felt sad. He said, "Sorry, Lily." + +He went to his room. He did not feel comfortable. He wished he had not been mean to Lily. He hoped she would forgive him. He wanted to play with her again. +Sara and Ben like to play with trains. They have a big box of rails and cars and engines. They make long tracks on the floor and zoom their trains around. Sometimes they make bridges and tunnels and stations. + +One day, it is raining hard outside. Sara and Ben hear the rain pour on the roof and the windows. They think it is fun to watch the rain. They see puddles and drops and splashes. They want to go out and play in the rain. + +But Mom says no. She says it is too wet and cold and fierce. She says they might get sick or hurt. She says they have to stay inside and play with their trains. Sara and Ben are sad. They want to play in the rain. + +They have an idea. They take their box of rails and cars and engines to the bathroom. They fill the tub with water. They make a track on the edge of the tub. They put their trains on the track. They pretend the water is the rain. They pour water on their trains with cups and spoons. They make sounds of thunder and wind. They have fun playing in the rain. + +Mom comes to check on them. She sees the water on the floor and the walls and the trains. She is not happy. She says they made a big mess. She says they have to clean up and dry their trains. She says they have to play with their trains in the living room. Sara and Ben are sorry. They say they just wanted to play in the rain. + +Mom hugs them. She says she understands. She says she likes to play in the rain too. She says they can play in the rain another day, when it is not so wet and cold and fierce. She says they can play with their trains now, and maybe later they can read a book or watch a movie or bake a cake. Sara and Ben smile. They say they love Mom. They say they love their trains. They go to the living room and play with their trains. They are happy. +Ben and Lily wanted to play in the attic. They liked to find old things and make stories about them. But they had to be careful. The stairs to the attic were very steep and dark. And their mom said they should not go there without her. + +One day, when mom was busy in the kitchen, Ben and Lily decided to sneak up to the attic. They took a flashlight and a rope. They tied the rope to the railing of the stairs and attached the flashlight to the other end. They thought this would help them see better and be safer. + +They climbed up the stairs slowly and quietly. They reached the door of the attic and opened it. The attic was full of dust and cobwebs. They saw boxes and bags and old furniture. They felt nervous and excited. + +"Wow, look at all this stuff!" Ben whispered. + +"Let's explore!" Lily whispered back. + +They walked around the attic, shining the flashlight on different things. They found a doll, a hat, a book, and a toy car. They pretended they were in a different time and place. They had fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was mom. She had found the rope and the flashlight. She was angry. + +"Ben! Lily! What are you doing in the attic? You know you are not allowed to go there without me! Come down right now!" she shouted. + +Ben and Lily felt scared. They dropped their things and ran to the door. They tried to go down the stairs, but they tripped on the rope. They fell and bumped their heads. They cried. + +Mom came up to the attic and saw them. She was worried. She hugged them and checked if they were hurt. She was also sorry for shouting. + +"I'm sorry, kids. I didn't mean to scare you. But you have to listen to me. The attic is not a safe place to play. You could get hurt or lost or dirty. You have to be careful and follow the rules. Do you understand?" she said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry too. They said they just wanted to have fun. They said they liked the attic. + +Mom smiled. She said she understood. She said she liked the attic too when she was a kid. She said she would show them some of the things in the attic someday, but only when she was with them. She said they could still play with their imagination, but in a safer place. + +Ben and Lily agreed. They said they loved mom. They said they would be good. + +Mom kissed them and took them down the stairs. She untied the rope and took the flashlight. She closed the door of the attic. She said they would have some cookies and milk in the kitchen. She said they would have a story time later. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They followed mom. They were happy. +Sam and Lily went to the big water with Mom and Dad. They saw many fish and birds and boats. They also saw a big whale. The whale was black and white and had a big mouth. + +"Can we feed the whale?" Sam asked Mom. + +"No, Sam, we cannot feed the whale. The whale eats only small fish. We do not have small fish. And the whale is not hungry. He is happy in the big water." Mom said. + +"But I want to feed the whale. I have a cookie. Maybe the whale likes cookies." Sam said. He was stubborn. He did not listen to Mom. + +Sam broke his cookie in half and threw one piece into the big water. The whale saw the cookie and came closer. He opened his big mouth and sucked the cookie in. + +"Wow, the whale ate my cookie!" Sam said. He was happy. He threw the other piece of cookie into the big water. + +"Sam, stop that! You should not feed the whale. The cookie is not good for the whale. The whale might get sick. And the whale might think you are food too. He might eat you!" Mom said. She was angry and scared. + +The whale did not like the cookie. The cookie was too sweet and dry. The whale spit the cookie out. He made a loud noise. He splashed the water with his tail. He wanted Sam to go away. + +"Uh-oh, the whale is mad. He does not like cookies. He does not like me." Sam said. He was sad and scared. He ran to Mom and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong. I should not feed the whale. I should leave the whale alone. The whale is not a pet. The whale is wild." Sam said. + +Mom hugged Sam and kissed him. "It's okay, Sam. I'm glad you are safe. You learned a lesson. The whale is not a toy. The whale is a living thing. We should respect the whale and his home. We should watch the whale and enjoy his beauty. But we should not bother the whale or hurt him." Mom said. + +Sam and Lily nodded. They said sorry to the whale. They waved goodbye to the whale. The whale waved back with his fin. He swam away. He was happy in the big water. Sam and Lily were happy too. They learned something new. They loved the whale. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They pretend to be drivers and go to different places. + +One day, they find a big red bus in the garage. It belongs to their dad, who is a real driver. He takes people to work and school every day. + +"Wow, look at this bus!" Ben says. "Let's take it for a ride!" + +Anna is not sure. "But dad said we can't touch his bus. He will be worried if he sees it gone." + +Ben does not listen. He climbs into the driver's seat and turns the key. The bus makes a loud noise and starts to move. + +"Come on, Anna, it will be fun!" Ben says. He drives the bus out of the garage and onto the street. + +Anna is scared. She runs after the bus and jumps on. She sits next to Ben and tries to stop him. + +"Ben, this is bad! We don't know how to drive a bus! We will get lost or crash or get in trouble!" + +Ben does not care. He thinks he is a good driver. He drives the bus faster and faster. He does not look at the signs or the lights or the other cars. + +Soon, they are in the city. There are many people and noises and buildings. Ben does not know where to go. He is confused and nervous. + +Anna is very worried. She sees their dad's phone on the dashboard. She picks it up and calls him. + +"Dad, dad, we need help! We took your bus and we don't know how to get back!" + +Dad is shocked and angry. He asks them where they are and tells them to stay put. He says he will come and get them. + +Anna and Ben are sorry. They realize they made a big mistake. They wait for their dad and hope he will not be too mad at them. They promise to never take his bus again. +Lily loves her kitten, Spot.

He sees a bird. + +The bird is on a branch. It is brown and yellow and sings a pretty song. Spot thinks the bird is a toy. He wants to catch it. He is hungry and curious. He jumps on the fence and climbs the tree. He gets closer and closer to the bird. + +The bird sees Spot. It is scared. It flaps its wings and flies away. Spot tries to follow it. He leaps from the branch. But he misses the bird. He falls down. He lands on the grass. He is not hurt, but he is sad. He lost the bird. + +Lily hears Spot's meow. She turns around and sees him on the ground. She rushes to him and picks him up. She says, "Spot, are you okay? You are silly. You can't catch a bird. You are a kitten, not a lion." She kisses him and cuddles him. She says, "Come on, let's go inside. I have some milk and cookies for you. You are hungry, and so am I." Spot purrs and licks her face. He is happy. He loves Lily. He forgets about the bird. He follows her to the house. They have a snack and a nap together. They are best friends. +Lily and Sam liked to play in the river. They had a raft that their dad made for them. It was big and yellow and had a rope to pull it. They put on their life jackets and got on the raft. + +They enjoyed floating on the water. They saw fish and ducks and frogs. They waved to the other kids on the shore. They sang songs and told jokes. They felt the sun and the breeze on their faces. + +But then they saw something incredible. It was a big waterfall. It was loud and white and scary. They did not want to go over it. They tried to pull the rope, but it was stuck. They screamed for help. + +Their dad heard them. He ran to the river. He jumped in and swam to them. He grabbed the rope and pulled hard.

He said he loved them. They loved him too. They went back to the shore and had a picnic. They had an incredible day. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to eat some apples. + +"Look, Tom, apples!" Sue says. "Let's get some." + +"OK, Sue, but how?" Tom asks. "The tree is too high." + +Sue has an idea. She sees a big box near the tree. She says, "Let's use the box. We can stand on it and reach the apples." + +Tom thinks that is a good idea. He helps Sue to move the box under the tree. Then he stands on the box and tries to grab an apple. But the box is not strong enough. It breaks and Tom falls down. + +"Ouch!" Tom cries. "That hurts!" + +Sue runs to Tom and hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you OK?" + +Tom nods. He says, "I'm OK, Sue. But that was a stupid box. It was too weak." + +Sue agrees. She says, "Yes, that was a stupid box. But we can still get some apples. Look, there is a nice man with a ladder. Maybe he can help us." + +They wave to the man and ask him for some apples. The man smiles and says, "Sure, kids. I can help you. Here, take some apples. They are sweet and juicy." + +Tom and Sue thank the man and take some apples. They are happy. They sit on the grass and eat the apples. They say, "These are the best apples ever!" +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with a ball in its mouth. The dog looked happy and friendly. + +"Can we play with the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know," Tom said. He shrugged his shoulders. He was not sure if the dog was nice or not. + +They walked closer to the dog. The dog wagged its tail and dropped the ball. It barked at them. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily said. She picked up the ball and threw it. The dog ran after it and brought it back. + +"Good dog!" Tom said. He petted the dog's head. The dog licked his hand. + +The dog's owner came over. He smiled at Tom and Lily. + +"Thank you for playing with my dog," he said. "His name is Max. He loves to play fetch." + +"We like Max," Lily said. "He is a fun dog." + +"Can we play with him again?"

She wondered why he was so itchy. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, why is Rex scratching so much? Does he have fleas?" + +Her mom looked at Rex and saw some tiny black dots on his fur. She said, "Yes, Lila, he does have fleas. Fleas are very small bugs that bite and make dogs and cats itch. We need to give Rex a bath and use some special soap to get rid of the fleas." + +Lila helped her mom fill the tub with warm water and soap. She held Rex's collar and said, "Don't worry, Rex, this will make you feel better. You are a good boy." Rex whimpered and tried to get away. He did not like baths.

You soaked Sara's doll and your radio. That is not nice. You have to say sorry and share your toys. And you have to dry them before they get moldy." + +Tom feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I'm sorry, Mom. I was silly. I didn't mean to soak your doll and my radio. Can we be friends again?" + +Sara says, "It's okay, Tom. I'm sorry, too. I should have let you play with my doll.

Mia says. + +They high-five each other and hug their cars. + +"That was a great race!" Ben says. + +"That was a great race!" Mia says. + +They are very happy and proud of their cars. They decide to play some more and deliver more things to their friends. +Tim and Jen were friends who liked to play in the snow. They made snowmen, snowballs and snow forts. One day, they found a shiny coin in the snow. They both wanted it for their pocket. + +"It's mine!" said Tim. "I saw it first!" + +"No, it's mine!" said Jen. "I touched it first!" + +They pulled and tugged at the coin, but it slipped from their hands and rolled away. They ran after it, but it fell into a hole. They could not reach it. + +They looked at each other and started to weep. They were cold, wet and sad. They had lost the coin and their fun. + +A big dog came by and saw them. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He wanted to play with them. He brought them a stick and a ball. He barked and jumped. + +Tim and Jen stopped weeping and smiled. They forgot about the coin and played with the dog. They threw the stick and the ball and the dog fetched them. They hugged and petted the dog. They were warm, dry and happy. They had found a friend and their fun. + +The moral of the story is: Don't fight over things that don't matter. Share and care for each other and you will have more joy. +Tim and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tim has a big dinosaur that can roar. Mia has a doll that wears a pretty cloth dress. Tim likes to make his dinosaur roar at Mia's doll and scare her. + +"Roar! Roar! I am a big dinosaur and I will eat your doll!" Tim says, making his dinosaur move closer to Mia's doll. + +"No, no, no! Leave my doll alone! She is my friend and she is expensive!" Mia says, holding her doll tightly. + +"Expensive? What does that mean?" Tim asks, curious. + +"It means she costs a lot of money. Mommy bought her for me on my birthday. She is very special and I love her." Mia explains. + +"Oh, I see. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I was just playing. I love my dinosaur too. He is also special and I got him from Daddy on Christmas." Tim says, feeling sorry. + +"It's okay, Tim. I know you were just playing. Can we play together? Maybe your dinosaur and my doll can be friends too." Mia says, smiling. + +"Sure, Mia. That sounds like fun. Maybe they can go on an adventure together. What do you think?" Tim says, smiling back. + +"I think that's a great idea. Let's go!" Mia says, and they run to the other side of the room, making their toys roar and talk. +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooking and baking. They took out some pots and pans, some flour and sugar, and some spoons and cups. They mixed and poured and stirred and tasted. They made a big mess, but they did not care. + +"Look, I made a cake!" Sara said, holding up a pan with some dough and sprinkles. "Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said, grabbing a teaspoon. He scooped up some of the dough and put it in his mouth. He made a face. "Yuck! This is not good! This is dirty!" + +Sara laughed. "It is not dirty, silly! It is just pretend! Here, try some of mine!" She took another teaspoon and dipped it in some sugar. She gave it to Ben. "This is sweet! You will like it!" + +Ben took the teaspoon and licked it. He smiled. "Mmm, this is good! This is sweet!" He wanted more. He reached for the sugar bowl. But he did not see that the sugar bowl was on the edge of the table. He knocked it over. The sugar bowl fell to the floor and broke. Sugar spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Ben said. They heard their mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. They tried to hide under the table. But it was too late. Their mom saw the mess. She saw the broken sugar bowl. She saw the dirty spoons. She was very angry. + +"Sara! Ben! What have you done? You have ruined the kitchen! You have wasted the food! You have broken the sugar bowl! How could you be so naughty? You are not supposed to play with these things! You are supposed to stay in your room!" She shouted. + +She took Sara and Ben by the hand and dragged them to their room. She locked the door. She said they had to stay there until they learned their lesson. She said they could not have any dinner or dessert. She said they could not have any toys or books. She said they could only have water and bread. + +Sara and Ben cried. They were hungry and bored and sorry. They wished they had not played in the kitchen. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had stayed in their room. They learned their lesson. But it was too late. They had a bad ending. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today they are very tired. They yawn a lot and rub their eyes. + +"Mommy, can we go to bed now?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, my loves, it is time for bed. Come, I will comb your hair and read you a story," Mommy says. + +She takes a comb and brushes Anna's long hair. Then she does the same for Ben's short hair. She gives them each a hug and a kiss. + +"Which story do you want to hear?" Mommy asks. + +"The one about the peaceful farm," Ben says. + +"Me too, me too," Anna says. + +Mommy smiles and opens the book. She reads about the cows, the sheep, the chickens and the farmer. Anna and Ben listen and look at the pictures. They feel cozy and warm in their beds. + +Soon they fall asleep and dream of the peaceful farm. Mommy tucks them in and turns off the light. She whispers, "Good night, my loves, sweet dreams." +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hoop on the grass. It was red and shiny. They wanted to play with it. + +"Can I enter the hoop first?" Sam asked Lily. + +"No, I want to enter the hoop first!" Lily said. + +They both ran to the hoop. They pushed and pulled. They did not share. They were not nice. + +A big dog saw them. He liked the hoop too. He was black and furry. He had sharp teeth. He was mighty. He ran to the hoop. He barked and growled. + +Sam and Lily were scared. They let go of the hoop. They tried to run away. But the dog was faster. He entered the hoop. He bit Sam's leg. He bit Lily's arm. They cried and cried. + +The dog took the hoop. He ran away. He was happy. Sam and Lily were not happy. They were hurt and sad. They learned a lesson. They should have shared. They should have been nice. +Tim and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and kick the ball. But they also liked to look at the big tree. The big tree had many green leaves and red apples. The apples looked yummy and sweet. + +"Can we get an apple?" Lily asked Tim. + +"I don't know. The tree is very high. We need a ladder or a stick," Tim said. + +"Look, there is a stick!" Lily pointed to a long and thin stick on the ground. "Maybe we can use it to reach an apple." + +Tim picked up the stick and walked to the tree. He lifted the stick and tried to poke an apple. But the stick was not strong enough. It broke in half and fell down. + +"Oops!" Tim said. + +"Let me try!" Lily said. She took the other half of the stick and ran to the tree. She also lifted the stick and tried to poke an apple. But she was not careful enough. She poked a bee's nest instead. The bees were angry and came out of the nest. They buzzed and flew around Lily. + +"Ouch!" Lily said. She dropped the stick and ran away. The bees followed her and stung her. + +"Help!" Lily cried. + +Tim heard Lily and saw the bees. He was scared and worried. He ran to Lily and hugged her. He tried to shoo away the bees. + +"Go away, bees! Leave us alone!" Tim shouted. + +But the bees did not listen. They kept stinging Tim and Lily. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" Tim and Lily screamed. + +Mommy and Daddy heard Tim and Lily and came out of the house. They saw the bees and the broken stick and the tree. They understood what happened. They ran to Tim and Lily and took them inside. They gave them medicine and ice and kisses. + +"Are you okay, Tim and Lily?" Mommy asked. + +"We are sorry, Mommy. We wanted an apple. But we poked the bees. The bees are dangerous," Tim said. + +"We are sorry, Daddy. We used a stick. But the stick was not good. The stick is dangerous," Lily said. + +Mommy and Daddy hugged Tim and Lily. + +"It's okay, Tim and Lily. We are not mad. We are glad you are safe. But you have to be careful. The tree is too high for you. The stick is too weak for you. The bees are too angry for you. Next time, ask us for help. We can get you an apple. We love you," Mommy and Daddy said. + +Tim and Lily nodded and smiled. + +"We love you, too, Mommy and Daddy. Thank you for helping us. Can we have an apple now?" Tim and Lily asked. + +Mommy and Daddy laughed and nodded. + +"Of course, you can. But only one each. And wash your hands first," Mommy and Daddy said. + +Tim and Lily washed their hands and ate their apples. They were yummy and sweet. They forgot about the bees and the stick and the tree. They were happy and full. They learned a lesson. They played in the yard. But they did not reach for the apples again. +Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, Mia has a new toy. It is a green car that can make sounds and move. Ben sees the car and wants to play with it. + +"Can I have a turn with your car?" Ben asks Mia. + +"No, it is mine. You have your own toys," Mia says. She holds the car close to her. + +Ben feels sad and jealous. He thinks Mia is not nice. He looks around and sees a bowl of mints on the table. He likes mints. They are sweet and fresh. He has an idea. + +He walks to the table and takes a mint. He puts it in his mouth and smiles. He says to Mia, "Look, I have a mint. It is yummy. You don't have any." + +Mia hears Ben and looks at him. She sees the mint in his mouth. She likes mints too. She wants one. She thinks Ben is not fair. She says to Ben, "Give me a mint. You have to share." + +"No, they are mine. You have your own snack," Ben says. He holds the bowl of mints close to him. + +Mia feels angry and jealous. She thinks Ben is mean. She looks at her car and has an idea. + +She walks to her car and turns it on. She makes it move and make sounds. She says to Ben, "Look, I have a car. It is fun. You don't have one." + +Ben hears Mia and looks at her. He sees the car moving and making sounds. He wants it. He thinks Mia is not nice. He says to Mia, "Give me your car. You have to share." + +They both look at each other and frown. They both seem unhappy and jealous. They both want what the other has. They don't want to share. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She comes into the room and sees them. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you both so grumpy? Why don't you share your toys and snacks?" + +Mia and Ben look at Mom and feel ashamed. They know they are not being good friends. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Mia. Sorry, Ben." + +They give each other a hug and a smile. They decide to share their car and their mints. They play together and eat together. They both seem happy and friendly. They both have fun. +Tim and Sam were playing with their toy ships in the bathtub. They made waves and noises and pretended to be pirates. Tim had a big ship that was red and blue. Sam had a small ship that was yellow and green. Sam liked Tim's ship very much. He wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have your ship, Tim?" Sam asked. + +"No, it's mine. You have your own ship," Tim said. + +"But your ship is bigger and nicer. Please, let me have it for a while," Sam begged. + +"No, Sam. It's fragile. You might break it. It was a gift from Grandma. She provided it for me," Tim said. + +Sam was angry. He did not like Tim's answer. He splashed water at Tim and tried to grab his ship. Tim splashed back and held his ship tight. They fought and shouted. The water spilled over the edge of the bathtub. Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. + +"What are you doing, boys? Why are you making such a mess?" Mom asked. + +"Sam wants my ship, Mom. He tried to take it from me. It's fragile. Grandma provided it for me," Tim said. + +"Tim won't share his ship, Mom. He is mean. I just wanted to play with it for a while," Sam said. + +Mom sighed. She was not happy. She took both ships and dried them with a towel. She put them on a shelf. + +"Listen, boys. You need to learn to share and be nice to each other. Playing with ships is fun, but not when you fight and make a mess. You can have your ships back when you say sorry and promise to play nicely. Now, get out of the bathtub and get dressed," Mom said. + +Tim and Sam looked at each other. They felt sorry. They did not want to lose their ships. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They hugged and smiled. They got out of the bathtub and got dressed. Mom gave them their ships back. They thanked her and hugged her. They went to their room and played with their ships peacefully. They learned their lesson. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and catch it. They were having fun. + +But then the sky became dark and loud. Rain started to fall. Ben and Lily ran to the porch. They did not like the rain. It made them wet and cold. + +"Mom, can we have a snack?" Ben asked. He was hungry. He wanted a cookie or a banana. + +"Sure, sweetie. Come inside and I'll get you something." Mom said. She opened the door and smiled. She was happy to see them. + +Ben and Lily followed Mom to the kitchen. They saw a plate of sandwiches and a jug of juice on the table. Mom had made them a snack. + +"Wow, thank you, Mom!" Lily said. She picked up a sandwich and took a bite. It was yummy. She liked cheese and ham. + +"You're welcome, Lily. Thank you for being good and coming inside when it rained." Mom said. She poured some juice for Ben and Lily. They drank it and felt warm. + +Ben and Lily finished their snack and hugged Mom. They were not hungry anymore. They were glad to have Mom and each other. + +They looked out the window and saw that the rain had stopped. The sun was shining and the grass was green. + +"Can we go outside and play again?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful and don't get dirty." Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and ran to the porch. They grabbed their ball and went to the yard. They were happy to play again. They liked the sun and the rain. +Sam and Max were brothers who liked to play in the yard. They had a toy gun that made loud noises when they pulled the trigger. They pretended to be cowboys and robbers and chased each other around the trees. + +One day, they found a big pile of leaves that someone had raked. They decided to hide in the leaves and surprise each other. Sam went first and buried himself under the leaves. He waited for Max to come near and then jumped out and shouted, "Bang! Bang! You're dead!" + +Max was scared and ran away. He looked for a place to hide and saw a hole in the fence. He crawled through the hole and found himself in a dark and smelly place. There were old cans and bottles and bags and other things that he did not know. He saw something that looked like a gun, but it was rusty and dirty and had a hole in it. He picked it up and tried to pull the trigger, but nothing happened. He felt uncomfortable and wanted to go back to Sam. + +He heard Sam calling his name from the other side of the fence. "Max, where are you? Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Sam said. + +Max dropped the rotten gun and ran to the hole. He pushed his way through the fence and saw Sam waiting for him. He hugged Sam and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was scared. I found a bad place with a bad gun. It was rotten and did not work. Let's play with our toy gun. It's fun and safe." + +Sam nodded and smiled. He said, "It's okay, Max. I'm sorry I scared you. Let's play together. Our toy gun is the best. It's not rotten and it works. We can be cowboys and robbers again." + +They ran back to the pile of leaves and continued their game. They had fun and forgot about the rotten gun and the bad place. They were happy and safe. +Tom and Anna were hungry. They wanted to eat rice for lunch. But they had no rice at home. Their mom said, "I will go to the shop and buy some rice. You stay here and be good." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They waited for their mom. They played with their toys. They sang some songs. They looked out the window. They saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running. It looked angry. + +Anna was scared. She said, "Tom, I don't like that dog. It is loud and mean. What if it comes here?" + +Tom said, "Don't worry, Anna. I will protect you. I am brave. You are brave too. We can scare the dog away." + +Tom and Anna went to the door. They opened it a little bit. They saw the dog. The dog saw them. It ran towards them. It growled and showed its teeth. + +Tom and Anna were brave. They did not run away. They did not cry. They knelt down and picked up some stones. They threw the stones at the dog. They shouted, "Go away, dog! Go away!" + +The dog was surprised. It stopped running. It felt the stones hit its fur. It heard the children yell. It was not angry anymore. It was afraid. It turned around and ran away. + +Tom and Anna cheered. They hugged each other. They said, "We did it! We scared the dog away! We are brave!" + +Their mom came back. She saw them smiling. She said, "What are you doing, Tom and Anna? Why are you so happy?" + +Tom and Anna said, "We saw a big dog. It was barking and running. It was loud and mean. But we knelt down and threw stones at it. We shouted at it. We scared it away. We are brave!" + +Their mom smiled. She said, "You are very brave, Tom and Anna. I am proud of you. But you should not open the door without me. It is not safe. The dog could have hurt you. You should stay inside and wait for me." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We will not open the door again. We will stay inside and be good." + +Their mom said, "That's good. Now let's eat some rice. I bought some rice for you. You must be hungry." + +Tom and Anna said, "Yes, we are hungry. We love rice. Thank you, mom." + +They went to the kitchen. They ate some rice. They were happy. They were brave. +One day, Tom and Sam found a big box in the park. They wanted to see what was inside, so they opened it. They saw many things that made noise, like drums, guitars, and horns. They were very happy and decided to play with them. + +"Let's make a band!" said Tom. "I will play the drums, and you play the guitar." + +"OK!" said Sam. "But we need a name for our band. How about The Crazy Noises?" + +"That sounds good!" said Tom. "Let's play!" + +They started to make a lot of noise with the things in the box. They did not care if anyone heard them or not. They thought they were the best band in the world. + +But soon, a man came to the park. He looked very angry. He walked to the box and examined it. He saw his name on it. He was the owner of the things in the box. He was a real musician, and he needed his things for a show. + +"Hey, you kids!" he shouted. "What are you doing with my things? These are not toys, these are instruments! You are ruining them!" + +Tom and Sam were scared. They did not know the man was the owner. They thought the box was for anyone to use. + +"We are sorry, mister," said Tom. "We did not know. We just wanted to have fun and make a band." + +"Well, you should not take things that are not yours," said the man. "You should ask before you use them. And you should respect other people's work. These instruments are very important to me. They help me make music and share it with others. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nodded. They felt bad for what they did. They gave the things back to the man and apologized. + +The man was still angry, but he saw that they were sorry. He decided to forgive them. He also decided to teach them something. + +"Listen, kids," he said. "I know you like music. And I know you want to make a band. But you need to learn how to play the instruments properly. And you need to practice a lot. And you need to work together. Then you can make a good band. Do you want to learn?" + +Tom and Sam nodded again. They wanted to learn. They liked music, and they wanted to make a good band. + +The man smiled. He took out his guitar and showed them how to play it. He also showed them how to play the drums and the horns. He taught them some songs and some tips. He was a good teacher. + +Tom and Sam learned a lot. They had fun and made music. They thanked the man for his help. They also gave him a new name for their band. + +"How about The Crazy Learners?" they said. + +The man laughed. He liked the name. He was proud of them. + +He said, "That's a great name. And you are a great band. Keep learning and keep playing. And remember, always ask before you use something that is not yours. And always respect other people's work. That's the moral of the story." + +The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they visit Ben's grandma. Grandma has a big house and a big garden. She also has a big dog. His name is Spot. + +Anna is scared of Spot. He is very big and loud. He barks and runs and jumps. Anna thinks he will bite her. She hides behind Ben. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben," Grandma says. "Do you want some cookies?" + +"Yes, please," Ben says. He likes cookies. He is not scared of Spot. He pets him and says, "Good boy, Spot." +
