She suggested that the little girl join a special competition in the city. The little girl was very excited. + +But daddy was not happy. He said he wanted the little girl to be safe, and the competition was too competitive. + +The little girl said she wanted to take part in the competition. She promised to do her best and be careful. + +Daddy thought about it, and then he suggested a compromise.

He has never seen a lemon before. He thinks it is a yellow ball. He picks one and tries to bounce it, but it does not bounce. He smells it and makes a funny face. It smells sour.

They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the seal. The seal was big and gray, and had a soft nose. It liked to swim and play in the water. + +"Look, the seal is opening its mouth!" Ben said. "Maybe it is hungry." + +"Or maybe it wants to say hello," Anna said. She waved at the seal. The seal waved back with its flipper. + +"Can we feed the seal, Mom?" Ben asked. + +Mom nodded and gave them some fish. Anna and Ben walked to the edge of the pool, where the seal was waiting.

He smiles at Tom and Sue. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like the fire truck?" he asks. + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Sue say. "It is very cool!" + +The fireman nods. "It is cool, but it can also be very hot. Do you know why?" + +Tom and Sue shake their heads. They do not know why. + +The fireman points to the hose. "This hose can spray water. We use it to put out fires. Fires are very hot and dangerous. They can burn things and hurt people. That is why we have the siren. It tells people to move away and let us pass." + +Tom and Sue nod. They understand. They have seen fires on TV, but not yet in real life. + +"Can we touch the hose?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. It is heavy and strong. You need to hold it with both hands."

It is tasty and healthy." + +Tim and Sam look at their bowls. They shake their heads. They say, "No, Mom. We do not want oat. We want toast and jam." + +Mom sighs. She says, "You have to eat oat sometimes. It will make you strong and smart. Please try a spoonful." + +Tim and Sam refuse. They cross their arms. They say, "No, no, no. Oat is bad. Oat is black. We do not like black things." + +Mom is surprised. She says, "Oat is not black. Oat is brown. And black is not a bad color. Look, your cars are black. Your shoes are black. Your dog is black. Do you not like them?" + +Tim and Sam look at their cars, their shoes, and their dog. They love them. They think they are cool and fun. They say, "Oh, you are right, Mom. Black is not bad. Black is good. But oat is still yucky." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Well, maybe you will like oat more if you try it. How about a deal? If you eat one spoonful of oat, you can have one piece of toast and jam. And you can play with your cars and balls after breakfast. What do you say?" + +Tim and Sam think about it. They like toast and jam. They like to play. They say, "OK, Mom. We will try oat. But only one spoonful." + +Mom is happy. She says, "Good boys. Thank you for being brave and trying something new. I hope you will like it." + +Tim and Sam take a spoonful of oat. They close their eyes. They put it in their mouths. They chew. They swallow. They open their eyes. They say, "Hmm, oat is not so bad. Oat is sweet and soft. Oat is OK." + +Mom claps. She says, "I am glad you like oat. You can have more if you want. Or you can have your toast and jam. And then you can play." + +Tim and Sam smile.

The nurse smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. I'm Nurse Anna. I'm here to take care of you. What is your favorite color?" Lily said, "Pink." The nurse said, "Me too. I have a pink stethoscope. Do you know what a stethoscope is?" Lily said, "No." The nurse said, "It's a tool that helps me listen to your heart and lungs. Do you want to try it?" Lily nodded. + +The nurse put the stethoscope on Lily's ears and chest. Lily heard her heart beat and her breath. She said, "Wow, that's cool." The nurse said, "Yes, it is. You have a strong and healthy heart and lungs. I'm proud of you for being brave and curious. Do you have any other question for me?" Lily said, "Yes. Can I have a sticker?" The nurse said, "Of course. You can choose any sticker you like. You are a good patient." Lily smiled and picked a pink sticker with a unicorn. She said, "Thank you, Nurse Anna. You are a good nurse." The nurse said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm proud of you too, Lily. You were very polite and respectful to the nurse. You learned something new and had fun. You are a smart and sweet girl." Lily said, "I love you, mom. I love Nurse Anna too. She made me feel better." Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I'm sure Nurse Anna loves you too. She is a very nice person. She helps many people every day. She is a hero." Lily said, "Yes, she is. Can we visit her again?" Mom said, "Maybe. But only if you are healthy and happy. OK?" Lily said, "OK." + +The moral value of the story is: Be brave and curious when you face new situations. Be polite and respectful to the people who help you. Be grateful and friendly to the people who care for you. +Anna liked to organize her toys. She had a big box where she put all her dolls, and a small basket where she put all her cars. She also had a shelf where she put all her books and puzzles. She felt happy when everything was neat and tidy. + +One day, she found a new toy in her room. It was a mirror. It was shiny and round, and it had a handle. Anna picked it up and looked at it. She saw her own face in the mirror. She smiled and made funny faces. She liked the mirror. + +She decided to show the mirror to her friend, Ben. She ran to his house, which was next door. She knocked on the door and waited. Ben opened the door and said hello. + +"Look, Ben, I have a new toy. It is a mirror. Do you want to see?" Anna said. + +"Sure, let me see." Ben said. He took the mirror from Anna and looked at it. He saw his own face in the mirror. He frowned and said, "I don't like the mirror. It makes me look ugly." + +Anna was surprised. She said, "No, Ben, you are not ugly. You are brave and smart and kind. The mirror shows you how you are. You should like yourself." + +Ben looked at Anna and then at the mirror again. He saw that Anna was right. He was brave and smart and kind. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You are pretty and funny and sweet. The mirror shows you how you are. You should like yourself too." + +Anna and Ben hugged and laughed. They played with the mirror and made funny faces. They liked the mirror and themselves. They felt happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find things in the dirt. Lily found a shiny stone and showed it to Max. Max wanted the stone too. He tried to grab it from Lily's hand. + +"Mine!" Lily said. She held the stone tight. "No, mine!" Max said. He pulled hard. They both struggle with the stone. They made loud noises. + +Mama heard them from the kitchen. She came out with a file in her hand. She was making a cake and needed the file to open a can. She saw Lily and Max fighting over the stone. + +"Stop, stop!" Mama said. "Why are you fighting? You have so many toys to play with. Can't you share the stone?" + +Lily and Max looked at Mama. They felt bad. They did not want to make Mama sad. They let go of the stone. They said sorry to each other. + +Mama smiled. She gave them each a hug. She said, "That's better. Now, why don't you use this file to make some shapes in the dirt? You can make a star, a heart, a circle, or anything you like." + +Lily and Max liked that idea. They took the file from Mama and thanked her. They went back to the garden. They used the file to make shapes in the dirt. They had fun. They were peaceful. Mama was happy. She went back to the kitchen to finish the cake. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a set of dolls and Ben had a set of cars. They liked to make up stories with their toys and act them out. + +"Look, this is my princess doll," Anna said, holding up a doll with a pink dress and a crown. "She is very pretty and kind. She lives in a big castle with her prince." + +"That's a fake crown," Ben said, pointing at the doll's head. "It's not shiny like a real crown. And that's a fake dress. It's not soft like a real dress. Your doll is not a real princess." + +Anna felt angry and hurt. She did not like Ben saying mean things about her doll. She looked around and saw Ben's favorite car, a red one with a big engine and a spoiler. She had an idea. + +"Oh, yeah?" she said. "Well, your car is not a real car. It's too small and it can't go fast. And look, it has a shoe on it!" + +She grabbed one of her shoes and set it on top of Ben's car, covering it completely. Ben gasped and tried to pull his car out from under the shoe, but Anna held it tight. + +"Give me back my car!" Ben shouted. "That's not a shoe, that's a car cover. It protects my car from dirt and rain. Your shoe is dirty and smelly. Take it off!" + +Anna and Ben started to tug and pull at the shoe and the car, making a lot of noise. Their mom heard them and came into the living room. + +"What's going on here?" she asked, looking at the mess of toys and the shoe. "Why are you fighting?" + +Anna and Ben stopped and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They knew they had been rude and silly. + +"We were playing with our toys, but then we said mean things to each other," Anna said. + +"I said her doll was fake and she said my car was fake," Ben said. + +"And then I set a shoe on his car and he got mad," Anna said. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She picked up the shoe and the car and gave them back to their owners. + +"That was not a nice way to play," she said. "You should respect each other's toys and feelings. You can have different toys and like different things, but you should always be kind and polite. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded and looked at each other. They felt sorry for hurting each other's feelings. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "Your doll is very pretty and kind. I like her crown and her dress." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "Your car is very cool and fast. I like its engine and its spoiler." + +They smiled and hugged each other. They decided to play together again, but this time, they would share their toys and make up nice stories. + +Mom smiled and kissed them both. She was glad they had made up and learned their lesson. + +"Good," she said. "Now, why don't you put away your toys and get ready for dinner? We're having your favorite, spaghetti and meatballs." + +Anna and Ben cheered and ran to the kitchen. They were hungry and happy. They had learned that playing with toys was more fun when they were kind and respectful. And they had learned that a shoe was not a good car cover. +One day, a raven saw a farmer work in his field. The raven was hungry and wanted to eat some of the farmer's corn. He flew down and landed on a scarecrow. He thought the scarecrow was a real person and said, "Hello, friend. Can I have some of your corn?" + +The scarecrow did not answer, because it was not alive. The raven thought the scarecrow was rude and said, "Fine, then I will take some anyway." He pecked at the corn and filled his beak. He was about to fly away when he heard a loud noise. It was the farmer, who had seen the raven and shouted, "Hey, you! Stop stealing my corn!" + +The raven was scared and tried to fly away, but his beak was too full. He dropped some of the corn and flew faster. The farmer ran after him and threw a stick at him. The stick hit the raven's wing and made him fall to the ground. The farmer caught the raven and said, "You are a bad bird. You should not take what is not yours. You should work for your food, like I do." + +The raven felt sorry and said, "Please, let me go. I will not do it again. I will work for my food, like you do." The farmer looked at the raven and said, "How will you work for your food? You are a bird, not a farmer." + +The raven thought for a moment and said, "I can sing for you. I have a beautiful voice. I can make you happy with my songs." The farmer smiled and said, "That is a good idea. You can sing for me and I will give you some corn. But you must promise to never steal from me again." The raven nodded and said, "I promise. Thank you for being kind to me." The farmer let the raven go and gave him some corn. The raven sang a happy song and flew away. + +The moral of the story is: It is better to work for what you want than to steal from others. Stealing can get you into trouble and make you lose friends. Working can make you proud and earn you respect. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they saw a small house made of candy and cake.

She said she had more treats for them. Sara and Ben followed her, but they felt something was wrong. + +Inside the house, the witch showed them a big pot on the fire.

They fought back and escaped from the witch's grip. They ran out of the house and into the woods. They saw a big dog with a collar and a leash. It was their dog, Max! + +Max had followed them to the woods and had seen the witch's house. He had barked and growled, but the witch had ignored him. He had waited for his chance to save his owners. + +Max ran to Sara and Ben and licked their faces. He was happy to see them. He was an adorable dog. He led them back to their home, where their parents were waiting for them. They hugged them and scolded them for going into the woods alone. They told them to never talk to strangers or eat their food. + +Sara and Ben learned their lesson. They apologized and thanked Max for saving them. They realized that he was not just a pet, but a friend and a hero. They loved him very much and gave him a big bone. + +The end. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with dinosaurs.

He uses a lot of paper and tape. He is happy. He puts his wrapped dinosaur under the tree. + +Sam wraps his small dinosaur. He uses a little paper and tape. He is happy too. He puts his wrapped dinosaur under the tree. + +But then, Sam sees Tim's wrapped dinosaur. He thinks, "Tim's dinosaur is bigger than mine. It looks better. I want it." He goes to the tree. He takes Tim's wrapped dinosaur. He puts his wrapped dinosaur in its place. + +Tim comes back. He sees Sam with his wrapped dinosaur. He thinks, "Sam took my dinosaur. That is not fair. I want it back." He goes to Sam. He tries to take his wrapped dinosaur. + +Sam and Tim start to fight. They pull and tug at the wrapped dinosaur. They tear the paper and tape. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees Sam and Tim fighting. She sees the paper and tape on the floor. She sees the dinosaurs out of the box. She is not happy. + +She says, "Sam, Tim, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why did you wrap the dinosaurs? They are not gifts. They are toys. You have to share them. And you have to clean up this mess." + +Sam and Tim feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to wrap some gifts. We like the dinosaurs. We did not mean to fight." + +Mom says, "It is okay. I know you wanted to be helpful. But you have to ask before you wrap something. And you have to be nice to each other. Now, let's put the dinosaurs back in the box. And let's find some other gifts to wrap. How about this book? Or this scarf? Or this hat?" + +Sam and Tim nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will help you. We will wrap some other gifts. And we will share the dinosaurs." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I love you, Sam and Tim. You are my best gifts." + +Sam and Tim hug Mom. They say, "We love you too, Mom. You are our best gift too." + +They wrap some other gifts. They put them under the tree. They play with the dinosaurs. They are happy. They are ready for Christmas. +Lily and Max were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They only had their toys and books, but they did not want to play with them. They wanted to watch TV. + +"Can we watch TV, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, you have watched enough TV today. You need to do something else. Why don't you read a book or draw a picture?" Mom said. + +"But we don't want to read or draw. We want to watch TV. Please, Mom, please!" Max begged. + +Mom shook her head. "No, TV is not good for you if you watch too much. It makes your eyes tired and your brain lazy. You need to use your imagination and creativity. TV can wait." + +Lily and Max were unhappy. They did not like Mom's answer. They decided to sneak into the living room and watch TV when Mom was not looking. They grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. They saw a colorful show with funny animals and songs. They smiled and sat on the couch. + +Mom was in the kitchen. She was making juice for Lily and Max. She wanted to surprise them with a healthy and tasty drink. She poured the juice into two cups and added some ice and a straw. She carried the cups to the living room. She wanted to see what Lily and Max were doing. + +She was shocked when she saw them watching TV. They did not hear her coming. They were too busy watching the show. Mom was angry and sad. She put the cups on the table and turned off the TV. + +"Lily and Max, what are you doing? I told you not to watch TV. You disobeyed me. You lied to me. You were sneaky. That is not nice. That is not right." Mom said. + +Lily and Max looked at Mom. They saw her face. She was not smiling. She was not happy. She was disappointed. They felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They were sorry. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We wanted to watch TV. We were bored. We did not mean to make you sad. Please forgive us." Lily and Max said. + +Mom sighed. She loved Lily and Max, but she also wanted them to learn. She wanted them to be good and honest. She wanted them to respect her rules. She wanted them to have fun, but not at the cost of their health and values. + +"I forgive you, Lily and Max. But you need to understand why I said no to TV. TV is not bad, but too much TV is not good. It can make you forget about other things that are important, like reading, drawing, playing, and talking. It can make you miss out on the beauty and wonder of the world. It can make you lazy and bored. You need to balance your time and activities. You need to listen to me and trust me. I only want what is best for you." Mom said. + +Lily and Max nodded. They understood Mom's words. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. They said they would not watch TV without her permission. They said they would try to do other things that were fun and good for them. + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she loved them too. She said she was proud of them for being sorry and for learning. She said she had a surprise for them. She pointed to the cups of juice on the table. She said they were for them. + +Lily and Max looked at the cups. They saw the juice. It was red and cold and sweet. It looked yummy. They thanked Mom and took the cups. They drank the juice and felt happy. They felt refreshed and energized. They felt like doing something else. + +They asked Mom if they could read a book or draw a picture. Mom said yes. She said she would join them. She said they could have fun together. They agreed. They put the cups in the sink and went to their room. They picked a book and some crayons. They sat on the floor and started to read and draw. They used their imagination and creativity. They laughed and talked. They forgot about the TV. They forgot about the gloomy day. They had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to help with the animals and the plants, but sometimes they got bored. One day, they saw a big truck come to the farm. It had a sign that said "Unusual Pets". + +"What is that?" Tom asked. + +"Let's go see!" Lily said. + +They ran to the truck and saw a man open the back. He took out a box and opened it. Inside was a small, furry animal with a long nose and big ears. It made a funny sound. + +"This is a llama," the man said. "He is an unusual pet. He can carry things and make wool. Do you want to try to pet him?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They reached out their hands and touched the llama's fur. It was soft and warm. The llama licked their faces and made them giggle. + +"He likes you," the man said. "Do you want to try to feed him?" + +Tom and Lily nodded again. The man gave them some carrots and showed them how to hold them. The llama ate the carrots from their hands and made a happy sound. + +"He is hungry," the man said. "Do you want to try to walk him?" + +Tom and Lily nodded once more. The man put a leash on the llama and gave it to Tom. He told him to hold it gently and follow him. Lily walked beside them. They walked around the farm and saw the other animals. The cows, the pigs, the chickens, and the sheep all looked at the llama and wondered what it was. The llama looked at them and wondered the same thing. + +Tom and Lily had fun with the llama. They thought he was an unusual pet, but a very nice one. They thanked the man for letting them try to pet, feed, and walk him. The man smiled and said he was glad they liked him. He put the llama back in the box and closed the truck. + +"Bye, llama," Tom and Lily said. + +"Bye, kids," the man said. He drove away. + +Tom and Lily ran back to their mom and dad. They told them all about the llama and how they tried to be his friends. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were proud of them. + +They had an unusual day on the farm, but a very good one. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to make mud pies and pretend they were chefs. They had a big bucket of water and a lot of dirt. They mixed them together and set them on plates. + +"Here, try my pie. It has worms and leaves in it," Tom said, holding a messy plate to Lily. + +"Yuck, no thank you. My pie is better. It has flowers and stones in it," Lily said, showing her plate to Tom. + +They argued about whose pie was better. They did not see the bee that was flying near them. The bee was looking for nectar and did not like the smell of the mud pies. It buzzed angrily and landed on Tom's plate. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried, dropping his plate. The bee had stung his hand. He ran to his mom, who was sitting on a bench. Lily followed him, feeling sorry. + +"Mom, mom, a bee bit me. It hurts a lot," Tom said, showing his hand. + +"Oh, poor Tom. Let me see. You have a red bump. It will go away soon. Don't worry," Mom said, hugging Tom. She put some ice on his hand and gave him a kiss. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to make you mad. Your pie was good too," Lily said, giving Tom a hug. + +"It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. Your pie was nice too. Can we be friends again?" Tom said, smiling. + +"Of course we can. Let's go play something else. Maybe we can build a castle with the dirt," Lily said, taking Tom's hand. + +They ran back to the garden, leaving the bee and the messy plates behind. They were happy again. +Tim likes motorcycles. He sees them on the road and he hears them go vroom. He wants to ride a motorcycle someday. He thinks motorcycles are cool and fast. + +One day, Tim goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big motorcycle in the parking lot. It is red and shiny. It has a helmet on the seat. Tim thinks it is lucky to find a motorcycle. He runs to the motorcycle and climbs on it. He puts on the helmet and pretends to drive. + +But the motorcycle is not his. It belongs to a mean man. The mean man sees Tim on his motorcycle and gets angry. He yells at Tim and pulls him off the bike. He hits Tim and takes the helmet. He says bad words and drives away. + +Tim is hurt and scared. He cries and runs to his mom. His mom hugs him and says sorry. She says he should not touch things that are not his. She says motorcycles are dangerous and he could get hurt. She says they have to go home and call the doctor. + +Tim is not lucky. He is sad and in pain. He does not like motorcycles anymore. He wishes he never found the motorcycle. He learns a hard lesson. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. Lily had a red hat that her mom gave her. She loved her hat very much. + +But then a big wind came and blew Lily's hat away. Lily ran after her hat, but it was too fast. She saw her hat fly over the fence and into the street. Lily was very sad and scared. + +"Tom, help me! My hat is gone!" she cried. + +Tom ran to Lily and hugged her. He saw a car stop near the fence. A nice lady got out of the car and picked up Lily's hat. She walked to the fence and gave Lily her hat back. + +"Here you go, little girl. I saw your hat fly away. Are you okay?" the lady asked. + +Lily smiled and took her hat. She put it on her head and said, "Thank you, lady. You are very kind. I am okay, but my hat was hurt. It has a hole." + +The lady looked at the hat and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. Your hat was hurt by the car. But it still looks pretty. Maybe your mom can fix it for you." + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, maybe. Mom is good at fixing things. Thank you again, lady. Bye-bye." + +The lady waved and said, "Bye-bye, little girl. And be careful with the wind." + +Lily and Tom said bye-bye to the lady and went back to the park. They played some more, but they held their hats tight. They did not want to lose them again. They seemed happy and safe. +Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress them up in different clothes. They had many fashion ideas for their dolls. Sometimes they shared their clothes and accessories, and sometimes they did not. + +One day, Sara found a new dress for her doll in her closet. It was pink and sparkly, and had a big bow on the back. Sara loved it and put it on her doll right away. She showed it to Lily, who was playing with her own doll. + +"Wow, that dress is so pretty!" Lily said. "Can I try it on my doll?" + +Sara shook her head. "No, this is my dress. I found it first. You can't have it." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She thought Sara was being mean and selfish. She looked at her own doll, who was wearing a blue dress with flowers. She did not like it anymore. She wanted the pink dress. + +"Please, Sara, can we share?" Lily asked. "You can have my dress, and I can have yours. Just for a little while." + +Sara frowned. "No, Lily, I don't want your dress. It is terrible. It is old and boring. My dress is new and shiny. It is only for me." + +Lily felt tears in her eyes. She did not want to play with Sara anymore. She grabbed her doll and ran away. She found another friend, Mia, who was playing with her own doll. Mia had a green dress with stars. Lily thought it was nice. + +"Hi, Lily, do you want to play with me?" Mia asked. "We can make our dolls have a tea party." + +Lily nodded. "Yes, Mia, I want to play with you. You are a good friend. You like to share." + +Mia smiled. "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend, too. You have good fashion. I like your dress. Can I try it on my doll?" + +Lily smiled back. "Of course, Mia. You can try it on. And I can try yours. We can share." + +They swapped their dresses and put them on their dolls. They made their dolls have a tea party and talk to each other. They had a lot of fun. They did not care about Sara and her pink dress. They were happy to share. +Tom and Sue like to play games. They have many games, like cards, puzzles, and blocks. Sometimes they play with their mom, who is a lady. She is very kind and smart, and she knows many things. + +One day, they play a game with mom. The game is called "Guess the Animal". Mom shows them a picture of an animal, and they have to say its name. If they say it right, they get a point. If they say it wrong, mom gets a point. The one with the most points wins. + +Mom shows them a picture of a big cat with stripes. Tom says, "Tiger!" Sue says, "Lion!" Mom says, "Tom is right, it is a tiger. Tom gets a point." Tom is happy, and Sue is sad. + +Mom shows them a picture of a bird with a long neck. Sue says, "Swan!" Tom says, "Duck!" Mom says, "Sue is right, it is a swan. Sue gets a point." Sue is happy, and Tom is sad. + +Mom shows them a picture of a fish with a horn. Tom and Sue do not know what it is. They look at mom, and mom smiles. She says, "This is a hard one. It is called a narwhal. It lives in the cold water. It is like a unicorn of the sea." Tom and Sue say, "Wow, that is cool!" Mom says, "Since you both did not know, I get a point." + +Mom has two points, and Tom and Sue have one point each. Mom shows them the last picture. It is a powerful animal with a big trunk and big ears. Tom and Sue know what it is. They both say, "Elephant!" at the same time. Mom says, "You are both right, it is an elephant. You both get a point." + +Mom, Tom, and Sue count their points. Mom has two points, Tom has two points, and Sue has two points. They all have the same points. They all win. They all hug and cheer. They say, "We are a good team!" They are happy. They love to play games. +Ben and Mia like to play with water. They have a big hose in the garden. They turn on the tap and water comes out of the hose. They spray the water in the air and make rainbows. They spray the water on the grass and make puddles. They spray the water on each other and laugh. + +One day, they see a big can of paint in the shed. It has a button on top. They wonder what it does. They take the can and shake it. They hear a sound inside. They press the button and paint comes out of the can. It is red paint. They spray the paint on the wall and make a zigzag. They spray the paint on the fence and make a circle. They spray the paint on the tree and make a star. + +They are having fun with the paint. They are playful and silly. They do not see Mom and Dad coming home. Mom and Dad see the paint on the wall, the fence and the tree. They are not happy. They are angry and cross. They tell Ben and Mia to stop spraying paint and to clean up the mess. Ben and Mia are sorry. They say they are sorry. They help Mom and Dad to wash the paint off. They learn not to spray paint on things. They promise to only spray water from the hose. +Lily liked to play with her toys in the living room. She had a doll, a car, a ball and a wire. The wire was long and shiny and she could bend it into different shapes. She made a ring, a star, a snake and a flower with the wire. + +But Lily's big brother Tom did not like the wire. He said it was his and he needed it for his project. He was making a tall tower with sticks and glue and the wire was the top part. He said Lily was too little to play with the wire and she could hurt herself or break his tower. + +One day, Lily saw the wire on the table and she wanted to play with it again. She took it and ran to the living room. She did not see Tom coming from his room. He saw Lily with the wire and he got very angry. He shouted at Lily and tried to grab the wire from her. + +"Stop! Stop! Give me back my wire!" he yelled. "You are a bad sister! You always take my things!" + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not want to make Tom angry. She did not want to be a bad sister. She held the wire tight and said "No! No! It is my wire! I like it! You are a mean brother! You never share!" + +They pulled and tugged on the wire. They did not see the lamp on the floor. The wire got tangled with the lamp cord and they tripped over it. The lamp fell and broke. The wire snapped. The tower fell and broke. They both fell and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the tears. She was not happy. She said "What happened here? Why are you fighting? Why did you break the lamp and the tower and the wire?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing with the wire and we did not share. We did not mean to break anything." + +Mom said "The wire is not a toy. It is dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or each other. You need to be careful and respectful with your things and your siblings. You need to say sorry to each other and help me clean up." + +Lily and Tom said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to Mom and helped her clean up. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. They found a book and read it together. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were adventurous twins. They liked to explore new places and try new things. One day, they saw a big field with many red dots. They ran to the field and saw that the red dots were strawberries. They were very excited. + +"Look, Ben, strawberries!" Anna said. "They are so sweet and juicy. Can we pick some?" + +"Yes, Anna, let's pick some. But we have to be careful. There might be bugs or thorns." Ben said. They took a basket and started to pick the strawberries. They filled the basket with the red fruits. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big brown bear. The bear was hungry and wanted the strawberries. He saw Anna and Ben and growled. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben shouted. "The bear wants our strawberries. He might want us too!" + +Anna and Ben dropped the basket and ran as fast as they could. They ran back to their house and slammed the door. They were scared and out of breath. + +"Are you okay, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben, I'm okay. But that was scary. The bear was so big and angry." Anna said. + +"I know, Anna. But we are safe now. And we still have some strawberries in our pockets. Do you want to share them?" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben, I do. They are still sweet and juicy. And we are still adventurous." Anna said. + +They smiled and ate the strawberries. They were happy and brave. They decided to go back to the field another day, but with their mom and dad. They hoped the bear would not be there. +Sam and Lily are at the zoo with their mom. They see many interesting animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They like to watch them and learn their names and sounds. + +"Look, mom, a big lion!" Sam says, pointing at the cage. + +"Roar!" Lily says, pretending to be a lion. + +Mom smiles and takes a picture of them. "The lion is very strong and brave, but also sleepy. He likes to rest in the sun," she says. + +Sam and Lily nod and move on to the next animal. They see a monkey swinging from a tree. + +"Ooh, ooh, aah, aah!" Sam says, copying the monkey. + +"Me too, me too!" Lily says, jumping up and down. + +Mom laughs and takes another picture. "The monkey is very playful and smart.

Some of them looked at him and frowned. He did not mind. He just walked to the room where the judge was. + +He knocked on the door and heard a voice say, "Come in."

He wants to play with it. + +"Ben, can I have your car?" Sam asks. + +"No, it is mine. Go away!" Ben says. + +Sam is angry. He sneaks into Ben's room when Ben is not looking.

She would give them medicine and bandages and make them feel better. + +One day, Lily found a real animal in her backyard. It was a big, black cat. It had a scratch on its ear and a limp in its paw.

Her mom was surprised and worried. She told Lily to stay away from the cat. She said the cat might have rabies or fleas or something else. She said they had to call a real veterinarian to take care of the cat. + +Lily watched as her mom called the veterinarian. She hoped the cat would be okay. She hoped the veterinarian would be nice and gentle with the cat. She hoped the cat would stop being grumpy and be happy and friendly. She learned that not all animals liked to be served by her. She learned that being a veterinarian was hard work. She still loved animals, but she decided to play with her stuffed ones for now. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they both wanted the same one: a lamp that changed colors when you turned it on and off. Anna grabbed the lamp and said, "This is mine! I saw it first!" + +Ben was jealous. He wanted the lamp too. He tried to take it from Anna, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the lamp, making it flash red and blue and green. + +"Stop it! You are breaking the lamp!" Mom said, coming into the room. She took the lamp from them and put it on the table. "You need to share your toys, or you will have no toys at all. Why don't you play with something else?" + +Anna and Ben looked around. They saw a big bowl of flour, some eggs, and some milk on the kitchen counter. Mom was making a cake, but she had left for a moment. Anna and Ben had an idea. They ran to the kitchen and climbed on the chairs. They started to mix the flour, the eggs, and the milk with their hands, making a sticky mess. + +"This is fun!" Anna said, throwing some flour at Ben. + +"More fun than the lamp!" Ben said, splashing some milk at Anna. + +They laughed and giggled, until they heard Mom coming back. They looked at each other, and then at the bowl. They knew they were in trouble. They tried to hide behind the chairs, but it was too late. Mom saw them and the mess they had made. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked, in a loud voice. "You have ruined the cake! And look at the floor! And your clothes! You are very naughty!" + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They had not meant to make Mom angry. They had just wanted to have fun. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing with the lamp, but we fought over it. Then we saw the cake stuff, and we wanted to mix it. We did not know it was for the cake. Can we help you clean up?" + +Mom sighed. She was still angry, but she also loved them. She said, "You should not play with things that are not yours. And you should not fight over toys. And you should not make a mess in the kitchen. But I forgive you. You can help me clean up, and then we can make a new cake together. And maybe, if you are good, you can play with the lamp later. But you have to share it, okay?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, Mom. We are sorry. We love you. And we love the lamp. And we love the cake. Can we mix it with a spoon this time?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's get some towels and a mop." +Mia did not like cauliflower. She thought it was white and yucky. She did not want to eat it for dinner. She pushed her plate away and said, "No, no, no!" + +Her mom was sad. She had cooked the cauliflower with cheese and butter. She thought it was yummy and good for Mia. She said, "Mia, please try a little bite. Cauliflower is strong food. It makes you grow and learn and play." + +Mia shook her head. She did not care. She wanted pizza or pasta or cake. She said, "No, no, no! I hate cauliflower!" + +Her mom was angry. She had worked hard to make dinner. She did not like Mia's rude words. She said, "Mia, that is enough. You have to eat what I give you. Or you will go to bed with no dessert." + +Mia was scared. She did not want to go to bed. She wanted dessert. She wanted ice cream or cookies or candy. She said, "No, no, no! I want dessert!" + +Her mom was firm. She had made the rules. She did not want to spoil Mia. She said, "Mia, this is your last chance.

She did not want to go to bed. She wanted to stay with her mom. She said, "No, no, no! I want to stay with you!" + +Her mom was sorry. She did not want to hurt Mia. She wanted to hug her and kiss her. She said, "Mia, I love you. But you have to listen to me. You have to eat your dinner. It is good for you. Maybe tomorrow you will like cauliflower." + +Mia was weepy. She did not want to listen to her mom. She wanted to have her way. She said, "No, no, no! I will never like cauliflower!" + +Her mom was gentle. She did not want to make Mia weep. She wanted to make her happy. She said, "Mia, maybe you will. Maybe you will try it and find out it is not so bad. Maybe you will even love it. But you have to try it first. Will you try it for me?" + +Mia was quiet. She did not want to try it. She wanted to say no. But she saw her mom's eyes. They were soft and kind. They were full of love. She said, "OK, mom. I will try it. For you." + +Her mom was proud. She did not want to force Mia. She wanted to teach her. She said, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good girl. You are a strong girl. I am so happy you will try it. Here, have a bite." + +Mia was brave. She did not want to be rude. She wanted to be good. She said, "OK, mom. Here I go." + +She took a bite of cauliflower. She chewed it slowly. She tasted it carefully. She swallowed it bravely. She said, "Mom, it is not so bad. It is kind of good. It is cheesy and buttery. It is strong food. I like it." + +Her mom was joyful. She did not want to lie. She wanted to praise her. She said, "Mia, I am so glad you like it. You are a smart girl. You are a strong girl. You have learned something new. I am so proud of you." + +Mia was happy. She did not want to weep. She wanted to smile. She said, "Mom, I love you. You are the best mom. You make the best food. Can I have some more cauliflower?" + +Her mom was delighted. She did not want to say no. She wanted to say yes. She said, "Mia, of course you can. You can have as much as you want. And you can have dessert too. You have earned it. You have been a good girl. A strong girl. A cauliflower girl." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big yard with many flowers and trees. Sometimes they see a hairy dog in the yard. The dog is friendly and likes to run and jump. + +One day, Tom and Lily decide to gather some flowers for their moms. They take a basket and go to the yard. They see the hairy dog there. The dog is happy to see them and wags his tail. + +"Hi, dog!" Tom says. "Do you want to help us gather flowers?" + +The dog barks and nods his head. He follows Tom and Lily as they look for the prettiest flowers. He sniffs the flowers and licks their faces. + +"Thank you, dog!" Lily says. "You are a good helper and a good friend." + +Tom and Lily fill their basket with flowers. They give some flowers to the dog. The dog smiles and carries them in his mouth. They go back to their house and give the flowers to their moms. + +"Wow, these are beautiful flowers!" their moms say. "Where did you get them?" + +"We gathered them in the yard," Tom and Lily say. "And the hairy dog helped us!" + +They show their moms the dog. The dog wags his tail and drops the flowers. Their moms smile and pet the dog. + +"What a nice dog!" their moms say. "Can we keep him?" + +Tom and Lily look at each other and nod. They hug the dog and say, "Yes, please!" + +The dog barks and jumps. He is happy. He has a new home and new friends. Tom and Lily are happy too. They have a new pet and a new adventure. They love the hairy dog. +Lily loved to play in the garden. She liked to smell the flowers, chase the butterflies and dig in the dirt. But she did not like to share the garden with her brother Tom. Tom was older and bigger and always took the best toys and spots. + +One day, Lily found a shiny red ball in the garden. She was very happy and wanted to play with it. She kicked it, threw it and rolled it on the grass. She did not want Tom to see it and take it away. So she hid it behind a big bush. + +But Tom was curious and wanted to know what Lily was doing. He followed her quietly and saw her playing with the ball. He thought it looked fun and wanted to have it. He waited until Lily was not looking and ran to the bush. He grabbed the ball and ran away. + +Lily heard Tom and turned around. She saw him running with her ball. She was very angry and sad. She shouted and ran after him. She wanted her ball back. She tried to catch him, but he was too fast. She felt frustrated and cried. + +Tom heard Lily and felt sorry. He realized he had been mean and selfish. He stopped running and turned around. He saw Lily crying and felt bad. He walked back to her and gave her the ball. He said he was sorry and asked if they could play together. Lily looked at him and saw he was sincere. She wiped her tears and nodded. She said she was sorry too and asked if they could share the ball. Tom smiled and agreed. They hugged and went to the garden. They played with the ball and had fun. They learned to be kind and fair. +Jen and Sam were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They also had a soft teddy bear that they shared. They called him Bobo. + +One day, they went to the park with their mom. They had fun on the slide and the swing, but then they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and hairy, and it barked loud. Jen and Sam were scared of the dog. They ran to the sandbox and hugged Bobo. + +"Mom, mom, help us!" they cried. "The dog is mean!" + +Mom heard them and came to the sandbox. She saw the dog and smiled. She knew the dog. His name was Rex, and he was friendly. He just wanted to play. + +"Jen, Sam, don't be afraid," she said. "The dog is nice. He won't hurt you. He likes teddy bears, too. Maybe he wants to be friends with Bobo." + +Jen and Sam looked at the dog. He wagged his tail and licked his lips. He looked at Bobo and sniffed. + +"Please, dog, don't eat Bobo," Jen and Sam prayed. "He is our best friend. We love him." + +The dog heard them and tilted his head. He walked closer to the sandbox and sniffed again. He licked Bobo's ear and nudged him with his nose. He wagged his tail more. + +"See, he likes Bobo," Mom said. "He wants to play with him. Why don't you let him have Bobo for a while? He will give him back later." + +Jen and Sam thought about it. They loved Bobo, but they also wanted to be nice to the dog. They decided to share Bobo with the dog. They gave him to the dog and watched him run away with him. + +"Bye, Bobo," they said. "Have fun with the dog. We will see you soon." + +They hoped the dog would be gentle with Bobo and not tear him apart. They prayed for Bobo to be safe and happy. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of them for being brave and kind. + +"Let's go have lunch," she said. "We have sandwiches and juice and cookies. Maybe the dog will come back with Bobo after lunch." + +Jen and Sam nodded and followed Mom to the picnic table. They were hungry and thirsty. They ate their lunch and drank their juice. They enjoyed their cookies. They wondered if the dog and Bobo were having fun, too. +Tom and Mia are playing on the beach. They have a net and a bucket. They want to catch some fish. + +"Look, there is a fish!" Mia says. She runs to the water with the net. She tries to scoop the fish, but it is too fast. It swims away. + +"Try again, Mia!" Tom says. He watches from the sand. He holds the bucket. + +Mia runs after another fish. She swings the net, but she misses. The fish jumps out of the water and splashes her. + +"Ha ha, you are wet, Mia!" Tom laughs. + +Mia is not happy. She is tired and wet. She drops the net and sits on the sand. She makes a sad face. + +"Come on, Mia, don't be sad. We can catch some fish later. Let's relax for a while." Tom says. He walks to Mia and gives her a hug. He puts the bucket next to her. + +"Relax? What is relax?" Mia asks. + +"Relax is when you are calm and happy. You don't run or work. You just enjoy the sun and the breeze and the sound of the waves." Tom explains. + +"Oh, I see. Relax sounds nice." Mia says. She smiles a little. + +Tom and Mia lie down on the sand. They close their eyes and relax. They feel the warm sun on their skin and the cool breeze on their hair. They hear the gentle sound of the waves and the birds. They are calm and happy. + +They don't notice a slow crab crawling to their bucket. It climbs inside and finds a shell. It likes the shell. It takes the shell and crawls out of the bucket. It walks away with the shell. + +The end. +Tim liked to play with his truck. It was big and red and had four wheels. He could push it on the floor and make vroom-vroom noises. He liked to pretend he was a driver and deliver things. + +One day, he saw a new truck in the toy store. It was bigger and shinier and had lights and sounds. He wanted to have it, but it was too much money. He asked his mom if he could buy it, but she said no. She said he had to save his money and gain it little by little. + +Tim was sad, but he had an idea. He decided to do some chores and help his mom. He helped her wash the dishes, fold the clothes, and sweep the floor. He did not complain or whine. He worked hard and did his best. Every time he did a chore, his mom gave him a coin. He put the coins in his piggy bank and counted them. + +After a few weeks, he had enough money to buy the new truck. He was very happy and proud. He thanked his mom and ran to the toy store. He found the truck and gave the money to the cashier. He took the truck and hugged it. He could not wait to play with it. + +He ran back home, but he was careful not to drop the truck. He saw his old truck on the floor. He felt sorry for it. He did not want to leave it alone. He picked it up and put it next to the new truck. He said, "Don't worry, old truck. You are still my friend. You can play with the new truck. We can have fun together." + +He pushed both trucks on the floor and made vroom-vroom noises. He smiled and laughed. He was glad he had two trucks. He was glad he had gained the new truck by working hard. He was glad he had not been slow to help his mom. He was a happy boy. +Lily wanted to buy a gift for her friend Ben's birthday. She had some toys that she did not play with anymore. She asked her mom if she could sell them to get some money. + +"Sure, you can sell them, but you have to be patient. Not everyone will want to buy your toys. You have to find someone who likes them and has enough money," her mom said. + +Lily nodded and put her toys in a box. She made a sign that said "Toys for sale, 1 dollar each". She took the box and the sign to the park, where she saw Ben and some other kids playing. + +"Hi, Ben! Happy birthday!" Lily said. + +"Hi, Lily! Thank you!" Ben said. + +Lily showed him her box of toys. "Do you want to buy one of my toys? They are very nice and only 1 dollar each," she said. + +Ben looked at the toys and saw a red car. He liked cars a lot. He asked his mom if he could buy the car. + +"Sure, you can buy the car, but you have to use your own money. You have some in your piggy bank at home," his mom said. + +Ben nodded and ran to his home. He opened his piggy bank and counted his coins. He had enough to buy the car. He ran back to the park and gave Lily 1 dollar. + +"Here you go, Lily. I want the red car, please," he said. + +Lily smiled and gave him the car. "Thank you, Ben. I hope you like it. Happy birthday!" she said. + +Ben hugged the car and thanked Lily. He was very happy. Lily was happy too. She had sold one of her toys and made a friend happy. She was patient and kind. She decided to keep selling her toys until she had enough money to buy a gift for herself. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the farm with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a big field of corn. The corn is new and yellow. + +"Look, Ben, corn!" Anna says. "Can we pick some?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the field with Spot. They pick some corn and put it in a basket. + +But they do not see the farmer. The farmer is angry. He does not want anyone to take his corn. He sees Anna and Ben and Spot. He shouts at them. + +"Hey, you kids, get away from my corn!" he shouts. "This is my corn, not yours!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the basket and run away. Spot barks at the farmer. + +"Sorry, mister, we did not know!" Anna says. + +"Come on, Anna, let's go home!" Ben says. + +They run back to their house. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them and says: + +"It's okay, my loves, you did not mean to do anything bad. But you have to ask before you take something that is not yours. The farmer worked hard to grow his corn. Maybe next time, you can say hello to him and ask him nicely if you can have some." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say they are sorry. They learn a lesson. They still like corn, but they do not take it without asking. They also like the farmer, but they do not make him shout. They are good twins. +Lily and Ben like to play with clay. They have many colors of clay. They can make anything they want with clay. Today, they want to make statues. + +Lily makes a statue of a cat. She uses black clay for the body and white clay for the spots. She makes two ears, a tail, and a nose. She gives the cat green eyes and a pink mouth. She is happy with her statue. + +Ben makes a statue of a dinosaur. He uses green clay for the body and yellow clay for the spikes. He makes four legs, a long neck, and a big head. He gives the dinosaur red eyes and sharp teeth. He is proud of his statue. + +They show each other their statues. They say, "Wow, your statue is very colorful and nice. I like it a lot." They smile and hug. They put their statues on the shelf. They are happy with their clay statues. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to visit their grandma every week. Grandma lives in a small house with a big garden. She has many flowers and fruits and vegetables. + +One day, Tom and Lily go to visit grandma. They knock on the door and grandma opens it. She is very happy to see them. + +"Hello, my dear children! Come in, come in! I have something for you in the kitchen," she says. + +Tom and Lily follow grandma to the kitchen. They see a big cake on the table. It smells very good. Grandma picks up a knife and cuts a slice for each of them. + +"Here you go, my sweeties. This is a carrot cake. I made it with the carrots from my garden. Do you like it?" she asks. + +Tom and Lily take a bite of the cake. It is soft and moist and sweet. They nod and smile. + +"Yes, grandma, we like it very much. Thank you, grandma. You are the best," they say. + +Grandma hugs them and kisses them. She is very proud of them. + +"You are very welcome, my darlings. You are the best, too. Now, why don't you go and play in the garden? I have some toys for you in the shed. But be careful, don't touch the sharp things," she says. + +Tom and Lily finish their cake and run to the garden. They find some balls and bikes and dolls and cars in the shed. They have a lot of fun playing together. They laugh and sing and shout. + +Grandma watches them from the window. She smiles and sighs. She is very happy, but also very tired. She decides to take a nap on the couch. She closes her eyes and falls asleep. She dreams of Tom and Lily and the carrot cake. +Anna loves to play with her guitar. She likes to make loud noises and sing songs. Sometimes, she plays with her brother Ben, who has a drum. They make a lot of noise together. + +One day, Anna and Ben want to play with their guitar and drum, but they cannot find them. They look in their room, but they see only a big mess. There are toys, books, clothes, and papers everywhere. + +"Where is our guitar and drum?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are under the mess," Ben says. + +They start to look under the mess, but they cannot find their guitar and drum. They only find more mess. + +"This is too hard. We need to sort the mess," Anna says. + +"What is sort?" Ben asks. + +"Sort is when you put things that are the same together. Like, you put all the toys in one pile, and all the books in another pile, and so on. Then, you can see what you have and what you don't have," Anna explains. + +"Oh, I see. That sounds smart. Let's sort the mess," Ben agrees. + +They start to sort the mess. They put all the toys in one pile, all the books in another pile, all the clothes in another pile, and all the papers in another pile. They work hard and fast. Soon, they see their guitar and drum. They are under the pile of clothes. + +"Look, we found them!" Anna shouts. + +"Yay, we found them!" Ben cheers. + +They grab their guitar and drum and run to the living room. They are happy and excited. They start to play with their guitar and drum. They make a lot of noise and sing songs. + +Mom hears them from the kitchen. She smiles and shakes her head. She is glad that they sorted their mess, but she wishes they were more reliable. Reliable means that you do what you say you will do. Like, when Mom says, "Clean your room," they should clean their room. Not just sort their mess and then make more noise. + +Maybe next time, they will be more reliable. Mom hopes so. She loves them, but she also likes some quiet. +Sara was sad. Her dog, Max, was dead. He was old and sick and did not wake up one morning. Sara loved Max very much. He was her best friend. She hugged him and cried. + +"Why did Max die, Mommy?" Sara asked. + +Mommy was sad too. She held Sara and said, "Max died because he was very old and his body was tired. He is not in pain anymore. He is in a good place where he can run and play and be happy." + +"But I miss him, Mommy. I want him back. He was my dog," Sara said. + +"I know, sweetie. I miss him too. He was our dog. But we can always remember him and how much he loved us. We can look at his pictures and his toys and his collar. We can tell stories about him and smile. He will always be in our hearts," Mommy said. + +Sara nodded. She felt a little better. She kissed Max's picture and said, "Good night, Max. I love you." + +Mommy tucked Sara in bed and said, "Good night, Sara. I love you." + +They both closed their eyes and dreamed of Max. +Lily was nervous. She had a loose tooth that wiggled when she ate or talked. She wanted it to fall out, but she was afraid it would hurt. She also wanted to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy, who would give her a coin. + +One day, she was playing with her friend Ben in the park. They were having fun on the swings and the slide. Lily forgot about her tooth for a while. She laughed and smiled with Ben. + +"Look, Lily, you have a gap in your teeth!" Ben said, pointing at her mouth. + +Lily touched her tongue to her teeth and felt a hole. Her loose tooth was gone! She was surprised and happy. She looked around and saw her tooth on the grass. She picked it up and showed it to Ben. + +"Wow, you lost your tooth! That's great!" Ben said. "Are you going to put it under your pillow for the tooth fairy?" + +"Yes, I am!" Lily said. "But I have to be careful not to lose it again. I'll put it in my pocket for now." + +They continued to play until it was time to go home. Lily said goodbye to Ben and ran to her mom, who was waiting for her. + +"Mom, look, I lost my tooth!" Lily said, holding up her tooth. + +"Wow, that's wonderful, Lily!" her mom said, hugging her. "You're such a brave girl. Are you excited for the tooth fairy?" + +"Yes, I am!" Lily said. "But I have to remember to put it under my pillow tonight." + +She put her tooth in a small box and kept it in her hand. She didn't want to forget it. She was proud of her tooth and wanted to get a coin from the tooth fairy. + +That night, she brushed her teeth and got ready for bed. She put her tooth under her pillow and closed her eyes. She dreamed of the tooth fairy and the coin she would get. + +The next morning, she woke up and reached under her pillow. She felt something round and shiny. She pulled it out and saw a coin. She was so happy. She ran to her mom and showed her the coin. + +"Look, mom, the tooth fairy came!" Lily said, smiling. + +"That's amazing, Lily!" her mom said, smiling too. "You did a great job. You didn't forget your tooth and you got a reward. I'm so proud of you." + +Lily hugged her mom and thanked her. She learned that losing a tooth was not scary, but fun. She also learned that if she remembered to do something important, she would get a good result. She was happy and confident. She couldn't wait to lose another tooth. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box near the pond. They think it is a boat. + +"Let's sail in the boat!" Tom says. + +"OK, but we need a will," Lily says. + +"A will? What is a will?" Tom asks. + +"A will is a thing that makes the boat go. Like this." Lily shows Tom a stick with a paper on it. She calls it a will. + +"Oh, I see. A will is like a flag. Let's make one!" Tom says. + +They use some crayons and a paper to make a will. They draw a sun and a flower on it. They put the will on the stick and the stick on the box. Now they have a boat with a will. + +They get in the box and push it to the pond. The wind blows the will and the box moves on the water. They pretend they are sailors. + +"This is fun!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it is!" Lily says. + +They sail around the pond and see ducks and fish. They wave to the other children and smile. They are happy. + +After a while, they get hungry. They sail back to the shore and get out of the box. They see a man with a cart. He is selling ice cream. + +"Can we have some ice cream, please?" Tom and Lily ask. + +"Sure, what flavor do you want?" the man asks. + +"Chocolate!" Tom says. + +"Strawberry!" Lily says. + +The man gives them each a cone with ice cream. They pay him with some coins. They lick the ice cream and enjoy it. + +"Mmm, this is delicious!" Tom says. + +"Yes, it is!" Lily says. + +They sit on a bench and eat their ice cream. They look at their boat and their will. They are proud of their adventure. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys. They have many toys of different shapes and colors. Sara likes to sort her toys by color. She puts the red toys in one pile, the blue toys in another pile, and so on. Ben likes to sort his toys by shape. He puts the round toys in one pile, the square toys in another pile, and so on. + +"Look, Sara, I sorted my toys by shape. Do you want to play with them?" Ben asks. + +"No, thank you, Ben. I sorted my toys by color. Do you want to play with them?" Sara replies. + +"No, thank you, Sara. I like my toys better. They are more fun." Ben says. + +They play with their own toys for a while. Then, Sara sees a toy that she likes. It is a toy spider with eight delicate legs. It is black and green. Sara thinks it is a pretty toy. She wants to play with it. + +"Ben, can I play with your spider toy? It is so pretty. I like its legs. They are delicate." Sara asks. + +"Sure, Sara, you can play with my spider toy. But be careful. Its legs are delicate. They can break easily." Ben says. + +Sara takes the spider toy and plays with it. She makes it crawl on the floor. She makes it climb on the sofa. She makes it spin a web. She is having fun. But then, she pulls one of its legs too hard. The leg breaks off. Sara is sad. She broke Ben's toy. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. I broke your spider toy. I pulled its leg too hard. It is not pretty anymore." Sara says. + +Ben is sad too. He liked his spider toy. It was his favorite toy. He does not have another toy like it. + +"Sara, why did you break my spider toy? It was my favorite toy. It was delicate. You should have been gentle." Ben says. + +Sara feels bad. She wants to make Ben happy. She thinks of a way to fix his toy. + +"Ben, I have an idea. We can sort your toys by legs. We can find another toy that has a leg like your spider toy. We can glue it to your spider toy. Then, it will have eight legs again. It will be pretty again." Sara says. + +Ben thinks about it. He likes Sara's idea. He thinks it is a good way to fix his toy. + +"OK, Sara, let's try it. Let's sort my toys by legs. Maybe we can find a toy that has a leg like my spider toy." Ben says. + +They start to sort Ben's toys by legs. They look for a toy that has a leg like the spider toy. They find a toy frog, a toy horse, a toy dinosaur, and a toy robot. But none of them has a leg like the spider toy. They are too big, too small, too thick, or too thin. + +They are about to give up. Then, Sara sees a toy that she did not notice before. It is a toy octopus. It has eight legs too. And one of its legs looks like the spider toy's leg. It is black and green. It is delicate. + +"Ben, look, I found a toy that has a leg like your spider toy. It is a toy octopus. It has eight legs too. And one of its legs looks like your spider toy's leg. It is black and green. It is delicate." Sara says. + +Ben looks at the toy octopus. He sees that Sara is right. It has a leg like his spider toy. It is a perfect match. + +"Sara, you are right. It has a leg like my spider toy. It is a perfect match. Let's glue it to my spider toy. Then, it will have eight legs again. It will be pretty again." Ben says. + +They find some glue and glue the octopus leg to the spider toy. They wait for it to dry. Then, they look at the spider toy. It has eight legs again. It is pretty again. + +"Wow, Sara, you did it. You fixed my spider toy. It has eight legs again. It is pretty again. Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." Ben says. + +"You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you like it. I'm sorry I broke it. You are a good friend too." Sara says. + +They hug each other. They are happy. They decide to play with the spider toy and the octopus toy together. They make them swim in the water. They make them catch flies. They make them dance. They are having fun. They are good friends. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Mom and Dad are in the kitchen. They are making dinner. + +Ben finds a big red ball. He throws it high in the air. He laughs.

They come to the living room. They see the broken lamp. They see Ben and Lily. They are scared. Mom and Dad are angry. + +"Ben, Lily, what did you do?" Mom asks. + +"We were playing with the ball, Mom," Ben says. + +"We did not mean to break the lamp, Mom," Lily says. + +Mom and Dad sigh. They hug Ben and Lily. + +"Ben, Lily, you have to be careful when you play. You could have hurt yourselves or the lamp. You have to learn to play safe. Do you understand?" Dad says. + +"Yes, Dad, we understand. We are sorry. We will play safe," Ben and Lily say. + +Mom and Dad smile. They kiss Ben and Lily. + +"Good. We love you. Now, let's clean up the mess and have dinner," Mom says. + +Ben and Lily help Mom and Dad. They clean up the broken lamp. They put away the ball. They go to the kitchen. They have dinner. They are happy. They learned to play safe. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with red berries. They run to the bush and pick some berries. + +"These berries look yummy!" Lily says. "Can we eat them?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe they are bad for us. Maybe they are dry and sour." + +"Let's act like we are birds," Lily says. "Birds eat berries all the time. They know which ones are good." + +"Okay," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. We have to make sure no one sees us." + +They hide behind the bush and pretend to be birds. They make bird noises and flap their arms. They take small bites of the berries and make faces. + +"Yuck!" Lily says. "These berries are dry and sour. They are not yummy at all." + +"Yuck!" Ben says. "They make my mouth hurt. They are not good for us." + +They spit out the berries and wipe their tongues. They look at each other and laugh. + +"That was a silly game," Lily says. "We are not birds. We are kids." + +"Yes," Ben says. "We are kids. And we need water. Let's go to the fountain and drink some water." + +They run to the fountain and drink some water. They feel better. They decide to play something else. They leave the berries for the birds. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. Tom has a sack. He puts his toys in the sack. He says, "This is my job. I am a toy collector.

We can leave our sack and book here. No one will take them." + +Lily says, "No, Tom. We have to keep our sack and book. They are our jobs. We are dependable. We do not leave our jobs." + +Tom says, "But Lily, we can slide for a little bit. Then we can come back. Our sack and book will be safe." + +Lily says, "No, Tom. We have to be careful. Someone might take our sack and book. Then we will lose our jobs. We will not be dependable." + +Tom and Lily argue. They do not agree. They are sad. They do not slide. They do not play. + +A nice lady sees them. She says, "Hello, Tom and Lily. Why are you sad? Do you want to slide?" + +Tom and Lily tell her about their sack and book. They tell her about their jobs. They tell her they are dependable. + +The nice lady smiles. She says, "You are very good, Tom and Lily. You are very dependable. You take care of your sack and book. But you can also have fun. You can slide and play. I can watch your sack and book. I will not let anyone take them. I am dependable too." + +Tom and Lily are happy. They say, "Thank you, nice lady. You are very kind.

It said to the sailboat, “Little sailboat, I can help you reach the shore.†The sailboat was so excited. + +The anchor said, “Pull me and I will pull you.†So the sailboat grabbed hold of the anchor with its little sail, and went on its journey to the shore. + +But then the anchor said, “I can’t pull you to the shore if you don’t let me go.†The boat said, “No, I don’t want to let you go!†+ +The anchor said again, “If you let me go, I can help you reach the shore.†The sailboat thought and thought, and then it said, “Okay, I will let you go.†So it let go of the anchor and it finally reached the shore. + +The sailboat was so happy because it had reached the shore thanks to the white anchor! +Once there was a boy called Jack.

Each morning, Nick and Lulu would try and figure out how to make their flags match. But no matter what they did, their flags stayed different. + +Until one day, Nick had an idea. He told Lulu that they could share their flags and mix their colours together. Nick was sure that this would make them have a unique flag all of their own. + +So that's what they did. They mixed their flags together and taught themselves a valuable lesson. + +In the end, Nick and Lulu had a beautiful, unique flag that blended their different colours together perfectly. From then on, they were always happy, playing together just like before. +Once upon a time there was a playful puppy called Jade who loved to run and play.

But when her owner called her, Jade refused to come and play around the garden. She just wanted to stay and play!

However, on his way home, Harry forgot Linda's warnings and touched the electric fence. He shivered as he felt a harsh shock go through his body. + +The moral of this story is to always respect and listen to the advice of your friends.

It's important to look out for one another and ensure that we heed the warnings of those around us. +Mikey was so excited to go to the library! He had never gone before.

I want you stay safe." + +Jack was still kind of upset but he understood what his mom said.

As she looked around, she saw a strange old tree in the distance. She decided to investigate. + +When Mary got closer, she realized there was an old door embedded in the trunk of the tree. It was almost like it had vanished into the history of the park. Mary couldn't believe her eyes.

She hugged the gift tightly. + +From a distance, Daisy's dad said, "Be careful Daisy, it might be too fragile!"

He hopped out of the stream onto a branch of a nearby tree. + +The little bird peered out into the world and said, “I want to see something new, I just know it’s out there.†+ +Suddenly, one of the animals in the nearby meadow said, “I believe in you!†+ +The little bird was filled with joy and thanks to this kind animal, he was filled with the courage he needed to explore the world. So the little bird flew out beyond the tree, into the bright blue sky, and for the very first time saw the wonders of the world. + +The little bird thanked the animal from the meadow and returned back to his stream beaming with joy.

In the tree lived a little bird named Rub. + +One day, Rub said to the other birds in his tree, "I want to split the sky!" + +The other birds thought this was a funny idea, so they said, "Let's do it!" + +So Rub flew up into the sky and the other birds flew up after him.

He decided to have a look. + +Underneath the tree was a small hut. Little Sam poked his head in. Inside the hut was a big pile of rugs. He decided to have a rest, deciding to rub the rugs to warm himself up and feel cozy. + +Suddenly, a voice boomed out from the shadows. "Hey there", the voice said, "this is my house. You must leave now". +Little Sam started to shiver in fear and ran away as quickly as he could. + +Little Sam reached his home just in time for bed. He never went back to the fancy field, or the hut with the rugs for fear he would once again hear the voice booming from the shadows. +One day, a little girl named Anna was walking in the park with her mom. Anna asked her mom, "Can I mix the butter?" Her mom smiled and said, "Of course you can, sweetie." + +Anna ran off to a nearby bench and got a bowl and spoon.

I wish I could mix butter, too." Anna smiled and said, "I'm going to make you some butter, Mommy!" + +Soon, Anna had mixed a big dollop of butter and she started to walk back to her mom. But before she could reach her, she tripped and dropped the butter on the ground. + +Anna started to cry and her mom got very angry. She said, "Anna, why did you do that? We can't eat the butter now!" Anna said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't mean to make you angry." +Her mom smiled and said, "It's okay, sweetie. Let's go home and get another chunk of butter." Anna smiled and they walked home. +Once upon a time there were two brothers, Andy and Zack. They loved to explore the forest near their home. One day when they were walking through the woods, Zack saw something sparkle on the ground. He quickly picked it up and realised it was a shiny penny. "Hey Andy, look what I found!" he said in excitement. + +Andy was very impressed. He knew he wanted the penny for himself. "Can I have it?" Andy asked his brother, with a hopeful smile on his face. Zack was very impatient. He quickly zipped the penny into his pocket. "No! It's mine!" he said. + +Andy sighed. He knew he wouldn't be able to change his brother's mind. "Fine," he said, "but you owe me a penny too!" Zack thought about it for a moment, then nodded. He jumped up and down, happy to make a deal. + +Andy went to the store and bought a toy. He couldn't wait to show his brother what he'd bought! Zack opened the toy and saw ... nothing! Empty! Zero! He was very disappointed. + +Andy laughed.
