"It will make you feel better." + +"That's very kind of you, Lily," her mom said. "But you shouldn't leave the stove on. It could be dangerous." + +Lily's eyes widened. She forgot about the stove. She ran back to the kitchen, hoping the soup was not burned. + +But when she got there, she saw smoke and flames coming from the pot. The soup had boiled over and caught fire. Lily was scared and did not know what to do. She started to cry. + +She heard her dad's voice. He had come home from work and smelled the smoke. He ran to the kitchen and saw the fire.

She hoped her mom was not angry with her. + +She and her dad went to her mom's room. Her mom was still in bed, but she looked better. She saw Lily and her dad and smiled. + +"Hello, you two," she said. "What's going on?" + +"Lily made you some soup, mom," her dad said. "But there was a little accident. The soup burned and the pot caught fire. But don't worry, we put it out. No one was hurt." + +"Oh, Lily," her mom said. "That was very sweet of you, but also very dangerous. You have to be more careful, honey. The stove is not a toy. You could have suffered a lot." + +"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. "I love you, mom. I wanted to make you feel better." + +"I love you too, Lily," her mom said. "And I appreciate your gesture. But you don't have to make me soup to make me feel better.

He said it was more fun and pretty. Sam wanted to sort the eggs by size: small, medium, and large. He said it was more easy and fast. They started to argue and fight over the eggs, and some of them fell and cracked. + +"Stop it, you two!" their dad shouted. "You are wasting good eggs and making a mess. Why can't you work together and sort the eggs by both color and size?" + +Tom and Sam looked at each other and felt sorry. They knew their dad was right and they had been silly.

She put the coins in the slot and pressed the buttons. + +The machine made a noise and dropped the items in a tray. Lisa reached for them, but she was too clumsy. She dropped the chocolate bar on the floor and the teddy bear rolled away. Lisa felt sad and cried. + +Daddy came and hugged her. He said, "It's okay, Lisa. Accidents happen. Let's pick up the chocolate bar and the teddy bear. They are still good. Mommy and the baby will love them." + +Lisa wiped her tears and smiled. She picked up the chocolate bar and the teddy bear.

He has a small knife that his dad gave him. + +"No, Ben, that is bad. The tree is wild and alive. It does not like to be cut," Lila says. She loves the tree and wants to protect it. + +"But we need them for our fort. It will be fun," Ben says. He does not listen to Lila and starts to cut a branch. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lila shouts. She runs to Ben and tries to take the knife from him. + +They pull and push and fight over the knife. The knife slips and cuts Ben's hand. He cries out in pain and drops the knife. + +Lila feels sorry for Ben and hugs him. She sees blood on his hand and gets scared. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry.

She says they can make a fort with other things, like sticks and stones and blankets. + +Lila and Ben say they are sorry and they understand. They hug their mom and each other. They are young and like to play outside, but they also learn to be kind and wise. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a big doll that she loves very much.

They don't want to give up their toys, but they also don't want to be mean. + +"Who will decide?" Anna asks. + +"Let's ask Mom. She is the judge," Ben says. + +They run to the kitchen, where Mom is making a cake. They show her their toys and tell her their problem. + +"Mom, who can keep the doll and who can keep the car?" Anna asks. + +"Mom, who can keep the car and who can keep the doll?" Ben asks. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She is proud of them for being intelligent and for wanting to share. + +"Both of you can keep your own toys, but you can also release them sometimes and let the other one play with them.

The box has a picture of a microscope on it. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Ben says. + +They open the box and take out the microscope. It has a big lens and a small slide. They put the slide on the microscope and look through the lens. + +"Wow! I see tiny things!" Lily says. + +"Me too! They look like bugs, but smaller," Ben says. + +They take turns looking at the slide. They see different shapes and colors. They are very alert and curious. + +"Can we speak to them?" Lily wonders. + +"I don't think so. They are too small to hear us," Ben says. + +"Maybe they can speak to each other. Maybe they have names and stories," Lily says. + +"Maybe.

They liked to play in the jungle. They saw many animals and plants. One day, they found a big vine. It was long and strong. They wanted to swing on it. + +"Look, Tom, a vine! Let's fly on it!" Lila said. + +"OK, Lila, that looks fun!" Tom said. + +They took turns to hold the vine and jump. They felt like birds. They flew over the trees and the river. They laughed and shouted. + +But they did not see the snake. The snake was on the vine. It was green and black. It was angry and hungry. It did not like the noise. It waited for the right moment. + +When Lila jumped again, the snake bit her. It was a bad bite. It hurt a lot. Lila screamed and let go of the vine. She fell into the river. The water was deep and fast. She could not swim. + +"Help, Tom, help!" Lila cried. + +Tom saw what happened. He was scared and sad. He wanted to help Lila. But he did not know how.

Do you want to be friends with Star?" + +The pony nodded and nuzzled her hand. Anna smiled and said, "I think you and Star would get along. Star is black and soft. He is my toy pony. I love him very much." + +She ran back to her mom and got Star. She brought him to the pony and said, "Look, pony. This is Star. He is my toy pony.

Today, the weather is beautiful. The sun is bright and the sky is blue. There are many flowers and birds. + +Lily and Tom go to the park. They see a big tree. The tree has many apples. Lily and Tom want to pick some apples. They climb the tree carefully. They pick some red and green apples. + +"Look, Tom, I have four apples!" Lily says. "How many do you have?" + +"I have three apples," Tom says. "But one is very big. See?" + +Lily and Tom are happy. They climb down the tree. They see a lady on a bench. The lady is old and sad. She has no apples. + +Lily and Tom feel sorry for the lady. They want to make her happy. They run to the lady. They give her some apples. + +"Hello, lady," Lily says. "We have some apples for you. Do you like apples?" + +The lady is surprised. She smiles. She takes the apples. She thanks Lily and Tom. + +"Thank you, children," the lady says. "You are very kind. These apples look delicious. You made my day." + +Lily and Tom are glad. They hug the lady. They say goodbye. They go back to the tree. They eat some apples. They share and laugh. They enjoy the beautiful weather. +Lily was a playful girl who liked to make funny faces and noises. She had a big brother, Ben, who sometimes got annoyed by her jokes. One day, they were eating lunch with their mom and dad. Lily had a sandwich with jam and cheese, and Ben had a sandwich with ham and lettuce. + +Lily decided to have some fun with her brother. She took a big bite of her sandwich and then stuck out her tongue at him. She had jam all over her tongue and mouth. She said, "Look, Ben, I have a red tongue. Do you want to see?" + +Ben did not think it was funny. He said, "No, Lily, that's gross. Wipe your mouth with a napkin. You are making a mess." + +Lily did not listen. She said, "No, Ben, I want to show you something else." She took another bite of her sandwich and then squished it with her hands. She had jam and cheese all over her fingers. She said, "Look, Ben, I have sticky fingers. Do you want to touch them?" + +Ben was even more annoyed. He said, "No, Lily, that's disgusting. Wipe your hands with a napkin. You are wasting your food." + +Lily still did not listen. She said, "No, Ben, I want to give you a hug." She got up from her chair and ran towards her brother. She tried to hug him with her sticky hands and mouth. + +Ben was very angry. He said, "No, Lily, get away from me. You are dirty and smelly. You need to wash your face and hands." + +Lily was surprised. She did not mean to make her brother angry. She just wanted to have fun. She said, "Sorry, Ben, I was just playing. I love you." + +Ben sighed. He said, "I love you too, Lily, but you need to be more careful. You can play, but not with your food. That's not nice." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, Ben, I understand. I will wipe my mouth and hands with a napkin. And then I will wash them with water and soap. And then I will play with something else. Maybe with my doll or my ball. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben smiled. He said, "Sure, Lily, I will play with you. But after we finish our lunch. And after we say thank you to mom and dad. And after we clean up our plates and napkins. Okay?" + +Lily agreed. She said, "Okay, Ben, that sounds good. Let's do that. And then we can have fun together. You are my best brother." + +Ben hugged her. He said, "You are my best sister." +Lila and Tom were very happy. They were going to visit their grandpa on his farm. They liked to see the animals and play in the hay. Grandpa had a new animal for them to meet. It was a mule. + +"What is a mule, grandpa?" Lila asked. + +"A mule is a mix of a horse and a donkey. He is very strong and smart. His name is Max." Grandpa said. + +"Can we pet him?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but be gentle. He is shy and not used to kids." Grandpa said. + +They followed grandpa to the barn. There they saw Max. He was brown and white, with long ears and a fluffy tail. He looked at them with big eyes. + +"Hello, Max. We are Lila and Tom. We are grandpa's grandkids. We want to be your friends." Lila said softly. + +She reached out her hand and touched his nose. Max sniffed her hand and nuzzled it. He made a soft sound. + +"He likes you, Lila. You are very kind." Grandpa said. + +Tom also petted Max. He felt his fur and his mane. He smiled. + +"He is amazing, grandpa. He is so big and soft. Can we ride him?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe another day, Tom. He is not used to carrying people. He needs some training first. But you can feed him some carrots. He loves carrots." Grandpa said. + +He gave them some carrots from a bucket. They held them out to Max. He ate them happily. He licked their hands and thanked them. + +Lila and Tom laughed. They hugged Max and grandpa. They had a lot of fun. They were glad they visited the farm. They loved Max the mule. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they find a big box in the street. It has a flag on it. The flag is red and blue and white. It says "mail". + +"Look, a mail box!" Tom says. "Let's see what's inside." + +Sam is scared. He thinks the mail box is not for them. He thinks someone will be angry if they open it. + +"No, Tom, don't do it!" Sam says. "The mail is for other people. We can't touch it." + +But Tom does not listen. He is curious. He wants to see the mail. He pulls the flag down. He opens the box. He takes out a letter. It has a picture of a heart on it. + +"Wow, a love letter!" Tom says. "Who is it for?" + +He opens the letter. He reads it. It says "Dear Jack, I miss you so much. I want to see you again. Please come back to me. Love, Jill." + +Tom laughs. He thinks the letter is funny. He shows it to Sam. + +"Look, Sam, a love letter!" Tom says. "It's for Jack. Who is Jack? Do you know him?" + +Sam shakes his head. He does not know Jack. He does not think the letter is funny. He thinks the letter is sad. He thinks Jill is sad. He thinks Jack is far away. + +"Tom, this is not nice," Sam says. "You should not read other people's mail. You should put it back. You should say sorry." + +But Tom does not listen. He is naughty. He wants to play with the letter. He tears it into pieces. He throws them in the air. He makes a mess. + +"Ha ha, this is fun!" Tom says. "Look, Sam, snow!" + +Sam is shocked. He thinks Tom is mean. He thinks Jill will be very sad. He thinks Jack will be very angry. He thinks they are in trouble. + +"Tom, stop it!" Sam says. "You are bad. You are hurting Jill's feelings. You are breaking Jack's heart. You are making a big mistake." + +But Tom does not listen. He is busy. He is having fun. He does not care. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a car. It is coming fast. It is honking. It is the mail man. He is angry. He sees the mess. He sees the boys. He stops the car. He gets out. He yells at them. + +"Hey, you little brats!" he says. "What are you doing? This is my mail box. This is my mail. You have no right to touch it. You have no right to open it. You have no right to destroy it. You are in big trouble. You are going to pay for this." + +He grabs Tom by the arm. He grabs Sam by the arm. He drags them to his car. He puts them in the back seat. He locks the door. He drives away. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They cry. They wish they had listened. They wish they had been good. They wish they had left the mail box alone. + +The end. +Lily and Tom are hungry. They want to eat some soup. Mom says they can use the big pot and the spoon. She says they have to be careful and not make a mess. + +Lily and Tom put water and vegetables in the pot. They turn on the stove and wait for the soup to boil. They smell the soup and it smells good. They are happy. + +"Can we have some soup now?" Lily asks Mom. + +"Not yet, it is too hot. You have to wait a little bit," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom wait and wait. They are very hungry. They see the soup bubbling and steaming. + +"Can we have some soup now?" Tom asks Mom. + +"Yes, you can. But be careful, it is still hot. And use a bowl and a napkin," Mom says. + +Lily and Tom use a bowl and a napkin. They ladle some soup into their bowls. They blow on the soup to cool it down. They taste the soup and it tastes good. They are happy. + +They eat all the soup in their bowls. They say thank you to Mom. They take their bowls and napkins to the sink. They wash them and dry them. They put them away. They are tidy. + +Mom is proud of Lily and Tom. She hugs them and kisses them. She says they are good children. They are happy. +Sara was a big sister now. She had a new infant brother, Tom. He was very small and soft. He slept a lot and cried sometimes. Sara wanted to help Mom and Dad with Tom. She seemed very proud of him. + +One day, Sara asked Mom if she could hold Tom. Mom said yes, but she had to be very careful and gentle. Mom put a pillow on the couch and helped Sara sit down. Then she gave Tom to Sara and watched them. + +Sara looked at Tom and smiled. She said, "Hi, Tom. I'm your sister, Sara. I love you very much. You are so cute and sweet. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom opened his eyes and looked at Sara. He made a little noise and moved his arms and legs. Sara thought he was trying to talk to her. She said, "What are you saying, Tom? Are you happy? Do you like me?" + +Mom smiled and said, "He likes you very much, Sara. You are a good sister. He is happy to have you. You make him feel safe and loved." + +Sara hugged Tom gently and said, "I'm happy to have you too, Tom. You are my best friend. We will have so much fun together. I will teach you everything I know." + +Mom kissed them both and said, "I'm so proud of you, Sara. You are a wonderful big sister. And I'm proud of you, Tom. You are a wonderful little brother. I love you both very much." +Sara and her mom were waiting for a taxi. They had big bags with them. They were going to visit grandma. Sara was happy, but mom looked gloomy. + +"Why are you sad, mom?" Sara asked. + +Mom sighed. "I'm not sad, honey. I'm just worried. Grandma is sick, and we don't have much money. We have to pay a lot for the taxi." + +Sara hugged mom. "Don't worry, mom. Grandma will get better. And we have each other. We belong together." + +Mom smiled and kissed Sara. "You're right, sweetie. We belong together. You're the best thing that ever happened to me." + +Just then, a yellow taxi stopped in front of them. The driver helped them put their bags in the trunk. He was friendly and cheerful. + +"Where are you going, ladies?" he asked. + +"To grandma's house, please," mom said. + +"Grandma's house? That sounds nice. Is she expecting you?" + +"Yes, she is. She's very happy to see us." + +"Well, then, let's go. I'll get you there in no time. And don't worry about the fare. It's on me today. It's my birthday, and I want to share some joy." + +Mom and Sara were surprised and grateful. They thanked the driver and got in the taxi. The driver turned on some music and sang along. Sara and mom joined him. They forgot their troubles and enjoyed the ride. The sky was gloomy, but their hearts were bright. +Sara and Ben were young and liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. One day, they found a bow and some arrows in a box. They wanted to try them. + +"Look, Sara, I can shoot the arrow far!" Ben said. He pulled the string and let go. The arrow flew over the fence and landed in the street. + +"Wow, Ben, you are strong!" Sara said. "Can I try too?" + +"Sure, Sara, but be careful. Don't shoot the arrow at people or cars or animals. Only shoot it at the sky or the ground." Ben said. He gave Sara the bow and an arrow. + +Sara held the bow and the arrow. She aimed at the sky and pulled the string. But she pulled too hard and the arrow slipped from her hand. It flew backwards and hit Ben in the leg. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He fell to the ground and held his leg. Blood came out of the wound. + +Sara dropped the bow and ran to Ben. She was scared and sorry. She did not mean to hurt him. + +"Ben, Ben, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Sara said. She hugged him and tried to stop the blood. + +"It's okay, Sara, it was an accident. But it hurts a lot. We need to get help." Ben said. He was brave and tried not to cry. + +Sara and Ben skipped to the house. They called their mom and dad. They came quickly and saw the arrow in Ben's leg. They were shocked and worried. They took Ben to the hospital. The doctor took out the arrow and gave Ben a bandage. He said Ben would be fine, but he had to rest for a while. + +Sara and Ben learned a lesson. They never played with the bow and arrows again. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They were still young and liked to play outside. But they played with safer things, like balls and bikes and dolls. They were happy and careful. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. They want to feed them. + +They ask their moms for some bread. Their moms say yes, but tell them to be quiet and gentle. They do not want to scare the ducks and fish. + +Lila and Tom break the bread into small pieces. They walk to the pond. They see the ducks and fish swimming in the water. They say hello and welcome. They throw some bread into the water. + +The ducks and fish come closer. They eat the bread. They make happy noises. Lila and Tom smile. They are quiet and gentle. They watch the ducks and fish. + +They have fun in the park. They are good friends. They love the water. They love the ducks and fish. They say thank you and goodbye. They go home with their moms. They are happy. +Anna was eager to go outside and play in the snow. She put on her coat, her hat, and her boots. She looked for her gloves, but she could not find them. She asked her mom, "Where are my gloves?" + +Her mom said, "They are in the closet, next to the door. But be careful, the door can lock by itself. You need the key to open it." + +Anna said, "Okay, mom. I will be careful." She ran to the closet and found her gloves. They were pink and fluffy. She put them on and smiled. She was ready to make a snowman. + +She opened the door and went outside. She saw the white snow and the blue sky. She felt the cold air and the warm gloves. She was happy. She closed the door behind her and ran to the yard. + +She did not know that the door had locked by itself. She did not have the key. She did not hear her mom calling her name. She was too busy playing in the snow. She made a big snowball and rolled it on the ground. She made another snowball and stacked it on top. She made a small snowball and put it on the head. She found a carrot and a hat and made a face. She had made a snowman. + +She looked at her snowman and clapped her hands. She said, "You are my friend. I will call you Bob." She hugged her snowman and felt his cold nose and his soft hat. She was happy. + +She turned around and saw the door. She remembered her mom. She wanted to go inside and show her mom her snowman. She ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. She pushed and pulled and banged. But it did not open. She felt scared. She shouted, "Mom! Mom! Help me! The door is locked!" + +She waited for her mom to come. But her mom did not come. She did not know that her mom had gone to the store and had left the key on the table. She did not know that her mom would be back soon. She only knew that she was alone and cold and locked outside. She cried and cried. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had the key. She wished she could go inside. She was not happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was a spaceship. They put some stickers on it and made noises like rockets. + +"Ready for blast off?" Ben asked Lily. + +"Yes, captain!" Lily said. + +They climbed inside the box and closed the flap. They counted down from ten and then shouted, "Zoom!" + +But something strange happened. The box started to shake and glow. Ben and Lily felt very dizzy. They looked at each other and saw that they were getting smaller and smaller. + +"Help!" Ben cried. "We are shrinking!" + +Lily screamed. "What is happening?" + +They heard a loud voice outside the box. It was their dad. He had come to check on them and saw the box. He did not know they were inside. + +"Wow, what a cool spaceship!" he said. "I'll take a picture and post it online. My friends will love it." + +He picked up the box and carried it to the house. Ben and Lily tried to shout, but their voices were too tiny. They were scared. How would they get out? + +They saw their dad's phone on the table. It was very big and shiny. They saw a button that said "camera". They had an idea. + +"Maybe we can use the phone to call for help," Ben said. + +"Or take a picture and show dad that we are here," Lily said. + +They crawled out of the box and climbed on the phone. They pushed the button and took a selfie. They looked very small and cute. + +They hoped their dad would see the picture and realize what had happened. They hoped he would find a way to make them big again. They hoped the box was not too powerful. They hoped they would be okay. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big red car in the park. It looked lovely. They wanted to see it. + +"Can we go to the car?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Maybe it is not ours," Tom said. + +They ran to the car. It had shiny wheels and a soft seat. They opened the door and got in. They pretended to drive. + +"Beep beep! We are going to the zoo!" Lily said. + +"Vroom vroom! We are going to see the lions!" Tom said. + +They had fun. But they did not see the man who came to the car. He had a key and a lock. He was angry. He did not like children. + +"Hey, what are you doing in my car?" he shouted. + +He slammed the door and locked it. He put the key in his pocket. + +"Let us out! Let us out!" Lily and Tom cried. + +But the man did not listen. He got in the front seat and started the car. + +"Too bad for you. You should not touch things that are not yours. Now you are coming with me," he said. + +He drove away with Lily and Tom. They were scared. They did not know where he was taking them. They wished they had not gone to the car. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished they had listened to Tom. +Tom loves trains. He has many trains in his room. He likes to play with them and make them go fast. He also likes to print trains. He has a book with train pictures. He puts paper on the pictures and rubs a crayon on the paper. Then he has a new train picture. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big train on the tracks. It is red and shiny. It has a loud whistle. Tom is very happy. He wants to see the train up close. He runs to the fence and waves at the train. + +"Hello, train!" he shouts. "You are so cool! Can I print you?" + +The train driver sees Tom and smiles. He stops the train and opens the door. He invites Tom and his mom to come inside. He shows them the engine and the caboose. He lets Tom sit in his seat and blow the whistle. + +"Wow, thank you, train driver!" Tom says. "This is the best day ever! Can I print your train?" + +"Sure, you can," the train driver says. "Here, I have some paper and crayons for you. You can print any part of the train you like." + +Tom is very happy. He prints the train's wheels, the train's smoke, and the train's number. He gives the train driver his prints and hugs him. + +"Thank you for letting me see your train," he says. "You are very nice. I love trains!" + +The train driver is happy too. He likes to see Tom's prints. He says goodbye to Tom and his mom and drives the train away. Tom waves at the train until it is out of sight. He keeps his prints in his pocket. He can't wait to show them to his friends. He thinks trains are the best. +Lily was a little girl who liked to help her dad fix things. One day, her dad was working on a chair that had a loose screw. He asked Lily to bring him a screwdriver from his toolbox. + +Lily ran to the toolbox and looked inside. She saw many tools with different shapes and colors. She did not know which one was a screwdriver. She picked up a tool that looked shiny and clean. It had a round end and a long handle. She thought it was a screwdriver. + +She brought the tool to her dad and said, "Here, dad, I found a screwdriver for you." + +Her dad looked at the tool and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily, but this is not a screwdriver. This is a wrench. A wrench is used to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts. A screwdriver is used to turn screws. Do you see the difference?" + +Lily looked at the tool and then at the screw. She saw that the tool did not fit the screw. She felt embarrassed. She said, "I'm sorry, dad, I did not know. Can you show me a screwdriver?" + +Her dad hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily, you don't have to be embarrassed. You are still learning. A screwdriver looks like this." He pointed to another tool in the toolbox. It had a flat end and a long handle. He said, "This is a screwdriver. It fits the screw like this." He showed her how to use the screwdriver to tighten the screw. + +Lily watched and said, "I see, dad, a screwdriver has a flat end and a wrench has a round end. Can I try to use the screwdriver?" + +Her dad said, "Sure, Lily, you can try. But be careful, don't hurt yourself or the chair." + +Lily took the screwdriver and tried to turn the screw. She felt proud when she heard the screw click into place. She said, "I did it, dad, I fixed the chair!" + +Her dad said, "Good job, Lily, you are a great helper. You learned something new today. And you know what? You also made the chair clean. You wiped off the dust with your tool." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, dad, I made the chair clean. And I also learned the difference between a screwdriver and a wrench. Thank you, dad, for teaching me." + +Her dad said, "You're welcome, Lily, I love you." + +They hugged and put the tools back in the toolbox. They sat on the chair and read a book together. Lily felt happy and smart. She liked to help her dad fix things. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to go out with Mom and Dad. Today, they go to a restaurant. The restaurant is colorful. It has red chairs, yellow tables, and blue plates. + +Lily and Ben sit down and look at the menu. They see many things they like. Pizza, pasta, salad, ice cream. They want to eat everything. + +"Mom, Dad, can we have everything?" they ask. + +Mom and Dad smile. "No, sweeties, you can't have everything. You have to choose one thing. And you have to use your manners. Say please and thank you to the waiter." + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. They decide to have pizza and salad. They say please to the waiter.

It has pink, green, and brown. They share it and enjoy it. + +They leave the restaurant. They say goodbye to the waiter. They say, "We had a good time. The restaurant is colorful and the food is yummy." + +The waiter smiles. He says, "You are welcome. You are very polite and nice. Come back soon." + +Lily and Ben learn that it is good to use their manners and to make good choices. They have a fun day with Mom and Dad. They go home and sleep well. +Sara and Mom went to the subway to go to the park. Sara liked the subway. She liked to see the big trains and the people. She liked to hear the loud noises and the music. She liked to hold Mom's hand and feel safe. + +But today, there was a rude man on the subway. He was big and loud and mean. He pushed Mom and Sara and made them move. He said bad words and made faces. He did not act nice. He acted bad. + +Mom told Sara to ignore the rude man. She said he was not happy and he needed help. She said they would get off soon and go to the park. She said they would have fun and forget the rude man. + +But the rude man did not stop. He followed Mom and Sara when they got off the subway. He yelled and ran after them. He scared Mom and Sara. He tried to grab Sara's hand and pull her away. + +Mom screamed and kicked the rude man. She told Sara to run and find a police. Sara was very scared and ran. She did not know where to go. She saw many people and cars and buildings. She did not see Mom or the rude man or the police. She was lost and alone. She cried and cried. She wished she was back on the subway with Mom. She wished the rude man never acted bad. She wished the story had a good ending. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. They had many toys, but they did not like to share. They always fought over who got the best toy, and who got to play on the porch. + +One day, their mom gave them a new toy. It was a big red ball that bounced very high. Lily and Max both wanted the ball. They grabbed it and pulled it, but neither of them let go. + +"Give me the ball! It's mine!" Lily shouted. + +"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Max yelled. + +They were so loud and selfish that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see the ball slip from their hands and roll away. They did not notice the big dog that came from the street and chased the ball. + +The dog ran after the ball and caught it in his mouth. He was very happy. He wagged his tail and ran away with the ball. + +Lily and Max stopped fighting and looked around. They saw the dog and the ball. They felt sad and angry. + +"Hey, that's our ball! Come back!" they cried. + +But the dog did not hear them. He was too busy playing with the ball. He did not care about Lily and Max. + +Lily and Max ran to the porch and sat down. They had no ball and no toys. They had nothing to play with. They looked at each other and felt sorry. + +"Maybe we should have shared the ball," Lily said. + +"Maybe we should have listened to mom," Max said. + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to be nicer and less selfish. They hoped the dog would bring back the ball someday. +Once upon a time, in a small house, there was a sweet little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and splash in the bathtub. One day, Lily could not find her favorite toy, a small yellow duck. She looked everywhere, but it was not there. + +Lily asked her mom, "Mom, where is my duck? I want to play with it in the bathtub." Her mom said, "Did you look in your room?" Lily went to her room and looked under her bed, but she still could not find it. + +Lily felt sad, but she did not give up. She asked her brother, Tom, for help. Together, they looked in the living room and the kitchen. Then, they found the yellow duck behind the couch. Lily was so happy, and she said, "Thank you, Tom!" + +Lily and Tom learned that when you need help, it is good to ask others. They played with the yellow duck in the bathtub and had lots of fun. And they always remembered to help each other when they needed it. +Once upon a time, there was a big bull named Bob. Bob lived in a field full of pretty flowers. One day, Bob saw a flower that was about to bloom. He thought it was very important to watch it bloom. + +A little girl named Sue walked by the field. She saw Bob and said, "Hi, bull! What are you doing?" Bob replied, "I am watching this important flower. It is going to bloom soon." Sue was excited and decided to watch with Bob. + +They waited and waited for the flower to bloom. But, it started to get dark and Sue's mom called her home. Sue had to leave, but Bob stayed to watch the flower. As the night went on, it got very cold. Bob was so focused on the flower that he didn't notice the cold. In the morning, Sue came back to find Bob. She saw that the flower had bloomed, but Bob was too cold and couldn't move anymore. The important flower had bloomed, but poor Bob was gone. +Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a beautiful river. The water in the river was clear and it moved slowly. Many animals lived near the river, and they liked to watch the water. + +One day, a graceful deer came to the river. The deer was thirsty, so it bent down to drink the water. It was very happy and started to dance near the river. The other animals saw the deer and they wanted to dance too. + +So, all the animals danced together by the river.

They followed the cat to a corner of the park, where they saw a small door in the wall. The cat went inside the door and disappeared. + +Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to see what was behind the door. They opened it and went inside. They saw a dark tunnel with many lights and sounds. They felt scared, but also excited. They walked along the tunnel, holding hands. + +They came to a big room with many toys and games. They saw the cat playing with a ball of yarn. They also saw other animals, like a dog, a rabbit, and a bird. They were all friendly and happy. They invited Lily and Tom to join them. They said this was their secret place, where they could have fun and be safe. + +Lily and Tom forgot about the time. They played with the animals and the toys. They had a lot of fun.

She felt like a bird when she did that. She saw many things in the water. She saw fish and crabs and shells. She also saw shrimp. They were small and pink and lively. They jumped and swam in the waves. + +One day, Sara wanted to catch a shrimp. She thought it would be fun to hold it in her hand. She leaned over the rock and reached for the water. She saw a shrimp near her fingers. She tried to grab it, but it was too fast. It moved away and Sara lost her balance. She fell off the rock and into the sea. + +The water was cold and deep. Sara was scared. She could not swim. She could not breathe. She could not see. She could not call for help. She only felt the shrimp around her. They tickled and bit her.

She wished she could see her mom and dad again. But it was too late. Sara was gone. The shrimp had won. +Lily and Ben were youth who liked to play in the park. They had a big ball that they could kick and throw. One day, they saw a small dog in the park. The dog was brown and fluffy and had a red collar. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily said. "Can we pet it?" + +Ben nodded. He liked dogs too. They ran to the dog and said hello. The dog wagged its tail and licked their hands. They petted the dog and scratched its ears. + +"Who are you?" Ben asked the dog. "Where is your owner?" + +The dog barked, but did not answer. Lily and Ben looked around, but they did not see anyone who looked like the dog's owner. They wondered if the dog was lost. + +"Maybe we should carry the dog home," Lily said. "We can give it some water and food and call the number on its collar." + +Ben agreed. He liked the idea of having a dog at home. He tried to pick up the dog, but the dog was too heavy for him. He grunted and dropped the dog. + +"Ow, that hurt!" Ben said. "The dog is too big to carry." + +Lily had an idea. She found a big blanket in her backpack. She spread the blanket on the ground and put the dog on it. Then she and Ben lifted the corners of the blanket and made a sling. + +"Now we can carry the dog," Lily said. "Let's go home." + +They walked slowly and carefully, holding the blanket with the dog inside. The dog was calm and quiet. It seemed to like the ride. + +They were almost home when they heard a voice. + +"Hey, that's my dog!" the voice said. "What are you doing with him?" + +Lily and Ben turned around and saw a man running towards them. He looked angry and impatient. He had a leash in his hand. + +"We found your dog in the park," Lily said. "We thought he was lost. We were going to call you." + +The man snatched the dog from the blanket and hugged him. He looked at the collar and saw the number. + +"Thank you for finding him," the man said. "He ran away from me when I was tying my shoe. I've been looking for him everywhere. He's very fast and curious." + +He smiled and petted the dog. The dog licked his face and wagged his tail. + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They liked the dog and wanted to keep him. + +"Can we play with him sometimes?" Ben asked. "He's very nice and fluffy." + +The man nodded. He was not angry anymore. He was grateful and friendly. + +"Sure, you can play with him," the man said. "His name is Max. He loves to play with youth. Maybe you can come to the park with us tomorrow." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy. They had made a new friend. + +"Okay, we'll come to the park tomorrow," Lily said. "Bye, Max. See you soon." + +They waved goodbye to the man and the dog. They picked up their blanket and their ball and went home. They talked about Max and how much fun they had with him. They looked forward to seeing him again. +Tom and Lily are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the zoo. Tom and Lily like animals. They want to see lions and monkeys and elephants. + +On the way, they see a big billboard. It has a picture of a hairy man. He is smiling and holding a bottle. The billboard says: "Drink Big Bob's Juice. It makes you strong and hairy." + +Tom and Lily think the hairy man is funny. They point at the billboard and laugh. They say: "Look, Mom, look, Dad, a hairy man!" + +Mom and Dad do not laugh. They look angry and scared. They say: "Oh no, not Big Bob! He is a bad man. He makes bad juice. He hurts people and animals. We have to get away from him!" + +But it is too late. Big Bob sees them. He is in a big truck behind them. He has a lot of bottles of juice. He wants to give them to Tom and Lily. He honks his horn and drives fast. He says: "Hey, kids, do you want some juice? It will make you strong and hairy like me!" + +Mom and Dad try to drive away. But Big Bob is faster. He catches up with them. He crashes into their car. He breaks the windows. He grabs Tom and Lily. He says: "Here, drink this juice. It is good for you. You will be my hairy friends." + +Tom and Lily scream. They do not want the juice. They do not want to be hairy. They want to go to the zoo. They want their Mom and Dad. But Big Bob does not listen. He forces them to drink the juice. He laughs and says: "Now you are strong and hairy like me. We will have fun together. We will go to the zoo and scare the animals. Ha ha ha!" + +The end. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together in their room. Sometimes they make a lot of noise and their mom tells them to be quiet. + +One night, they hear a loud alarm. It is a fire alarm. They are scared and jump out of their bed. They see smoke and flames outside their window. + +"Ben, we have to go!" Mia says. "The fire is coming!" + +They run to the door, but it is locked. They forgot to unlock it before they went to sleep. They bang on the door and shout for help. + +"Mom! Dad! Help us!" they cry. + +Their mom and dad hear them and come to their room. They break the door and grab Ben and Mia. They carry them out of the house and to the street. There are many fire trucks and firefighters. They spray water on the fire and try to stop it. + +Ben and Mia hug their mom and dad. They are safe and happy. They look at their house and see that it is burned and broken. They are sad and sorry. + +But their mom and dad tell them not to worry. They say they are lucky. They say they have each other and they love them. They say they will find a new home and new toys. They say they are proud of them for being brave and smart. + +Ben and Mia smile and nod. They are lucky. They have a family. They remain together. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big train set. The train set is modern. It has lights, sounds and a remote control. + +One day, Mom tells them to clean their room. She says they have to put away their toys and make their beds. Ben and Mia do not want to clean. They want to play with the train set. They say no to Mom. They hide the remote control under a pillow. + +Mom is angry. She says they are naughty. She says they have to punish. She takes away the train set. She says they cannot play with it for a week. She puts it in a closet. + +Ben and Mia are sad. They cry and say sorry to Mom. They say they will clean their room. Mom says they have to learn to listen and obey. She says they can have one piece of the train set back each day if they are good. + +Ben and Mia clean their room. They make their beds and put away their toys. They hope to get the train set back soon. They miss the lights, sounds and the remote control. They say they will not be naughty again. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They were building a big tower with different colors and shapes. Lily liked to put the blocks on top of each other, but Ben liked to knock them down. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily said. "You are ruining our tower!" + +"But it's fun!" Ben said. He laughed and pushed the blocks with his hand. The tower fell down and the blocks scattered on the floor. + +Lily was angry. She picked up a block and threw it at Ben. It hit him on the head and made him cry. + +"Ow! That hurt!" Ben said. He rubbed his head and looked at Lily. "Why did you do that?" + +"Because you are mean!" Lily said. She crossed her arms and turned away. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the crying Ben. She frowned and asked what happened. + +"Lily threw a block at me!" Ben said. + +"Ben knocked down our tower!" Lily said. + +Mom sighed and picked up Ben. She hugged him and checked his head. She said, "Lily, that was not nice. You should not throw things at people. You could hurt them." + +She put Ben down and looked at Lily. She said, "Ben, that was not nice either. You should not destroy other people's work. You could make them sad." + +She picked up some blocks and gave them to Lily and Ben. She said, "Why don't you play together and share the blocks? You can build something clever and beautiful. That would be more fun than fighting." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben." + +They took the blocks and started to build again. This time, they helped each other and listened to each other's ideas. They made a big castle with a bridge and a flag. They were happy and proud of their work. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's better. You are both clever and kind. I'm glad you quit fighting and learned to cooperate. That's how you make good friends and have good fun." +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a basket under a big tree. The basket was unusual. It had many colors and shapes on it. + +"Wow, look at this basket!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. I wonder what is inside." + +"Let's open it and see," Tom said. He lifted the lid of the basket. Inside, there were many things. There were books, and dolls, and cars, and candy. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said. "This is the best basket ever. Can we keep it?" + +Lily nodded. "Yes, we can. But we have to share it. We are best friends, right?" + +Tom nodded. "Yes, we are. And we have to be careful. Maybe someone is looking for this basket. We don't want to make them sad." + +Lily and Tom made a promise. They promised to share the basket and to take good care of it. They also promised to return it if they found the owner. They hugged each other and smiled. + +They took the basket to their favorite spot in the park. They played with the things inside. They read the books, and dressed the dolls, and raced the cars, and ate the candy. They had a lot of fun. They were very happy. They did not know that the basket was magic. And that it had a surprise for them. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they go to the creek near their house. The creek has clear water and many fish. + +"Look, Sara, I see a big fish!" Ben says. He points to a shiny fish in the water. He wants to catch it with his hands. + +"Be careful, Ben, the fish is clever. It will swim away if you try to catch it," Sara says. She knows that fish are fast and smart. + +Ben does not listen to Sara. He thinks he is clever too. He puts his hands in the water and tries to grab the fish. But the fish is too quick. It swims away and splashes Ben with water. + +"Ha ha, Ben, the fish teased you!" Sara laughs. She thinks it is funny that Ben got wet. + +Ben feels silly and wet. He does not like that Sara laughs at him. He wants to tease her back. He looks around and sees a frog on a rock. He has an idea. + +"Hey, Sara, look at that frog. It is so cute. Do you want to touch it?" Ben says. He pretends to be nice. + +Sara likes frogs. She thinks they are cute too. She walks to the rock and reaches for the frog. But the frog is clever too. It jumps off the rock and lands on Sara's head. + +"Ribbit, ribbit!" the frog says. It teases Sara with its noise. + +"Ah, Ben, the frog teased me!" Sara screams. She feels the frog on her head and tries to shake it off. + +Ben laughs. He thinks it is funny that Sara got a frog on her head. + +The twins look at each other and start to giggle. They realize that they both got teased by clever animals. They are not mad at each other. They are happy to play together. + +They hug each other and say sorry. Then they go back to the creek and watch the fish and the frog. They wonder what other clever animals live in the creek. They have fun in the sun. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a small jar of sugar in the kitchen. They wanted to taste it, but they knew their mom said no. + +"Let's take some sugar when mom is not looking," Tom said. "It will be yummy." + +"No, Tom, that is bad," Lily said. "Mom will be angry if we do that. We should listen to her." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He took the jar and ran to his room. Lily followed him and tried to stop him. + +"Tom, please, give me the jar," Lily said. "You will make a mess and get sick. Mom will find out and be sad." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He opened the jar and poured some sugar on his bed. He licked his fingers and smiled. + +"See, Lily, this is fun," Tom said. "Sugar is sweet and good. You should try some too." + +But Lily did not want to try. She was worried and scared. She saw some ants crawling on the floor. They smelled the sugar and came to the bed. They climbed on the jar and on Tom. + +"Tom, look, ants!" Lily said. "They want the sugar too. They will bite you and make you itch. You should settle the jar and get them off." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He was too busy eating the sugar. He did not see the ants until they bit his skin. He screamed and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow, ants!" Tom said. "They hurt me and make me itch. Help me, Lily, help me!" + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She helped him settle the jar and get the ants off. She hugged him and said. + +"It's okay, Tom, I'm here," Lily said. "But you should not have taken the sugar. It was bad and wrong. You made a mess and got sick. You should say sorry to mom and promise not to do it again." + +Tom nodded and said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, you were right," Tom said. "I was bad and wrong. I made a mess and got sick. I will say sorry to mom and promise not to do it again." + +Lily and Tom went to the kitchen and found their mom. They told her what happened and said sorry. Mom was angry but also glad that they were honest. She hugged them and said. + +"I'm glad you are okay, Lily and Tom," Mom said. "But you should not have taken the sugar. It was bad and wrong. You made a mess and got sick. You should listen to me and to each other. Sugar is not a toy. It is for cooking and baking. You can have some sugar sometimes, but only when I say so. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and said. + +"We understand, Mom," Lily and Tom said. "We are sorry. We will listen to you and to each other. Sugar is not a toy. It is for cooking and baking. We can have some sugar sometimes, but only when you say so." + +Mom smiled and said. + +"That's good, Lily and Tom," Mom said. "I love you very much. Now go and wash your hands and face. Then we can have some cookies. I made them with sugar and love." + +Lily and Tom smiled and said. + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily and Tom said. "We love you very much. We will go and wash our hands and face. Then we can have some cookies. You made them with sugar and love." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the children to listen to their parents and to each other, to respect the rules and the things that are not theirs, to be honest and to apologize when they make a mistake, and to be careful with what they eat and how they play. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play in the woods. They found a big pile of lumber that someone left there. They wanted to build a fort with the lumber. + +"Let's make a fort here," Tom said. "We can use the lumber to make walls and a roof." + +"OK," Sue said. "But we need something to hold the lumber together. What can we use?" + +Tom looked around and saw some vines. He thought they could solve the problem. He said, "We can use these vines. They are long and strong. We can tie the lumber with the vines." + +Sue agreed. They started to work. They tied the lumber with the vines and made a fort. It looked adorable. They were very happy. + +They went inside the fort to play. They pretended they were kings and queens. They had fun. + +But they did not know that the vines were not strong enough. They did not know that the lumber was old and rotten. They did not know that the wind was blowing hard. + +Suddenly, the fort collapsed. The lumber fell on them. They screamed. They were hurt. They were trapped. They cried for help. + +But no one heard them. No one came. They were alone in the woods. They were scared. They were sorry. They wished they had not played with the lumber. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with their dogs. Sara has a big dog named Max. Ben has a small dog named Spot. One day, they decide to visit the owner of the pet shop. They want to see the other animals. + +They walk to the pet shop with their dogs. They see a lot of animals in the cages. They see birds, rabbits, hamsters, and fish. They say hello to the owner. The owner is a nice lady. She lets them pet some of the animals. + +"Can we see the turtles?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, they are over there," the owner says. She points to a tank with water and rocks. "But be careful, they might bite." + +Sara and Ben go to the tank. They see four turtles. They are green and brown. They have hard shells and long necks. They swim and crawl in the water. Sara and Ben think they are cute. + +"Can I hold one?" Ben asks. + +"Okay, but only for a little while," the owner says. She picks up a turtle and gives it to Ben. Ben holds the turtle in his hands. He feels its shell and its legs. The turtle sticks out its head and looks at Ben. + +"Hi, turtle," Ben says. He smiles. + +The turtle does not smile. It opens its mouth and bites Ben's finger. Ben screams and drops the turtle. The turtle falls into the water. Ben cries and holds his finger. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. "The turtle bit me!" + +"I'm sorry, Ben," the owner says. She runs to Ben and looks at his finger. "It's not a big bite. It will be okay. Here, let me put a band-aid on it." + +She takes out a band-aid from her pocket and wraps it around Ben's finger. She gives him a hug and a candy. Ben stops crying. He feels better. + +"Thank you," Ben says. + +"You're welcome," the owner says. "But maybe you should not hold the turtles anymore. They are not very friendly." + +"Okay," Ben says. He nods. + +Sara comes to Ben and hugs him too. She feels sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, I'm okay," Ben says. "But I don't like turtles anymore. They are mean." + +"I don't like them either," Sara says. "Let's go see the fish. They are nice. They don't bite." + +"Okay," Ben says. He smiles. + +They go to see the fish. They see many colors and shapes. They watch them swim and play. They forget about the turtle. They have fun. + +The owner watches them and smiles too. She is happy that they are happy. She likes to have visitors. She likes to share her animals. She likes Sara and Ben. They are good friends. They are good kids. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play in the yard. They have a big cloth. They use the cloth to make a tent. They pretend they are in the wild. + +One day, they hear a loud noise. They look out of the tent. They see a big dog. The dog is barking. The dog is wild. The dog runs to the tent. The dog wants to play. + +"Go away, dog!" Tim says. "This is our tent!" + +But the dog does not listen. The dog jumps on the cloth. The cloth rips. The tent falls down. Tim and Kim are scared. + +"Help, help!" Kim says. "The dog is wild!" + +Mom hears them. She comes out of the house. She sees the dog. She sees the cloth. She sees Tim and Kim. + +"Shoo, shoo!" Mom says. "This is not your yard!" + +She chases the dog away. The dog runs away. Mom hugs Tim and Kim. + +"Are you okay, my loves?" Mom says. "I'm sorry the dog ruined your tent." + +Tim and Kim nod. They are okay. They are sad. They like the tent. + +"It's okay, Mom," Tim says. "We can make a new tent." + +"Yes, we can," Kim says. "But not with this cloth. This cloth is bad. The cloth is ripped. The cloth is end." +It was a hot day and Ben and Lily wanted to play outside. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the garden. There they saw a big umbrella that their dad had left. It was red and yellow and had stripes. + +"Let's play under the umbrella!" Lily said. "It will be cool and shady." + +"OK!" Ben said. He lifted the umbrella and opened it. He tried to hold it over their heads, but it was too big and heavy. He dropped it and it fell on the grass. + +"Oops!" Ben said. "This umbrella is not fit for us. It is fit for giants!" + +Lily laughed. She picked up the umbrella and closed it. She had an idea. She put the umbrella on the ground and lay down next to it. She pretended it was a boat. + +"Come on, Ben!" she said. "Let's go on a boat ride!" + +Ben smiled. He lay down next to Lily and the umbrella. He pretended it was a sail. + +"Where are we going?" he asked. + +"We are going to the island of ice cream!" Lily said. "There we can eat and drink as much as we want!" + +"Yay!" Ben said. "That sounds fun!" + +They closed their eyes and imagined they were sailing on the sea. They felt the breeze and heard the waves. They dreamed of ice cream and juice. They were happy and cozy under the umbrella. +Anna and Ben were very excited for the holiday. They wanted to decorate their house with lights and stars and bells. They had a big box of decorations that they found in the attic. + +"Look, Anna, I found a fake tree!" Ben said, holding up a green plastic tree with a metal stand. "We can put it in the living room and hang ornaments on it!" + +Anna smiled and nodded. She liked the fake tree. It looked like a real tree, but it did not drop needles or need water. She took some shiny balls and ribbons from the box and followed Ben to the living room. + +They put the fake tree in a corner and plugged it in. It had tiny lights that blinked and changed colors. Anna and Ben clapped and cheered. They started to hang the balls and ribbons on the branches, making the tree look pretty and festive. + +"Wow, you are very good at decorating, Anna!" Ben said, admiring his sister's work. "You make the tree look like a rainbow!" + +"Thank you, Ben! You are very good too!" Anna said, giving him a hug. "You make the tree look like a starry night!" + +They finished decorating the tree and stood back to admire it. They felt happy and proud of their work. They could not wait to show their parents and their friends their beautiful fake tree. They hoped they would like it as much as they did. +Lily liked to spin. She spun on the grass, on the rug, on the chair. She spun until she felt dizzy and fell down. She laughed and got up to spin again. + +One day, she saw a newspaper on the table. It had many words and pictures. She wanted to spin it. She took it and ran to the yard. She threw it in the air and watched it spin. It spun and spun and landed on the ground. + +But the newspaper was not hers. It was Dad's. He liked to read it every morning. He came out and saw the newspaper on the grass. He was not happy. He said, "Lily, why did you take my newspaper? It is dirty and torn now. I can't read it." + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to make Dad sad. She said, "I'm sorry, Dad. I wanted to spin it. It looked fun. I didn't know it was yours." + +Dad saw that Lily was sorry. He was not angry anymore. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you like to spin. But you have to ask before you take something that is not yours. And you have to be careful with things that can break. How about we find something else to spin?" + +He took Lily's hand and went to the garage. He found a big cardboard box. He cut out a circle from the box. He made a hole in the middle. He put a string through the hole. He said, "Look, Lily. This is a spinner. You can hold the string and spin it as fast as you want. It won't break or get dirty. Do you want to try it?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, please, Dad. Thank you. You are very generous. You are the best Dad ever." + +She took the spinner and ran to the yard. She spun it and spun it and spun it. She was happy. Dad was happy. They hugged and spun together. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they went to the church with their mom and dad. The church was big and had many people inside. Sara and Ben saw a man playing a big piano and singing. They liked the music and wanted to get closer. + +They left their mom and dad and walked to the front of the church. They saw a big cross and many candles. They wanted to touch them, but they were too high. They saw a small door next to the piano. They opened it and went inside. It was dark and cold. They heard a loud noise and saw a big mouse. They were scared and started to tremble. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "There is a big mouse!" + +The man playing the piano heard them and stopped. He ran to the door and opened it. He saw Sara and Ben trembling and crying. He picked them up and hugged them. + +"Don't be afraid, little ones. I am here to help you. That is not a big mouse, that is a small cat. He lives here and keeps the church clean. He is kind and friendly. Do you want to pet him?" he said. + +Sara and Ben looked at the cat. He was black and white and had green eyes. He meowed and rubbed his head against the man's hand. He looked kind and friendly. + +"Can we pet him?" Sara asked. + +"Of course you can. He likes children. But you have to be gentle and quiet. He is shy and scared of loud noises. And you have to ask your mom and dad first. They must be worried about you. You should not leave them without telling them. That is not safe or polite." the man said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They petted the cat and said sorry to the man. They thanked him for helping them and being kind. They followed him to the back of the church. They saw their mom and dad looking for them. They ran to them and hugged them. They said sorry to them and told them what happened. They said they learned a lesson. They said they would not leave them again without telling them. They said they would be kind and friendly to the cat and the man. They said they liked the music and the church. + +Their mom and dad smiled and kissed them. They said they were glad they were safe and happy. They said they were proud of them for learning a lesson. They said they loved them very much. They said they would go back to the church next week and listen to the music and see the cat and the man again. They said they would be kind and friendly to everyone. They said they were a happy family. +Tim and Sam were playing with their toy lasers in the park. They liked to make noises and pretend they were space heroes. They had fun chasing each other and hiding behind the trees. + +But then, Tim tripped over a rock and fell down. His laser flew out of his hand and landed on the ground. Tim heard a crack and saw that his laser was broken. He felt a pain in his knee and started to cry. + +Sam ran to him and saw what happened. He felt sorry for his friend. He said, "Don't cry, Tim. It's okay. I will comfort you. Here, take my laser. You can play with it. I don't need it. I have you." + +Tim looked at Sam and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You are very kind. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I broke my laser. I will share mine with you when I get a new one." + +Sam hugged Tim and said, "You're welcome, Tim. You don't have to be sorry. It was an accident. Lasers are just toys. Friends are more important." + +The moral value of the story is: Friendship is more valuable than material things. Friends should comfort each other when they are sad or hurt. Friends should share and be generous with each other. +Lily liked to sing and dance. She wanted to be on the stage with the big kids. They had a show today and Lily wanted to join them. She put on a pretty dress and a shiny hat. She felt ready. + +She ran to the stage and saw the big kids. They were busy and nervous. They did not see Lily. Lily saw a microphone. She wanted to use it. She went to the microphone and said hello. + +The big kids heard Lily. They turned around and saw her. They were angry. They said, "Lily, what are you doing here? This is our show. You are too little. Go away!" + +Lily was sad. She did not understand. She liked the big kids. She wanted to be their friend. She wanted to sing and dance with them. She asked them a question. She said, "Why can't I be in your show? I can sing and dance too. Please let me stay." + +The big kids did not answer. They pushed Lily away. They said, "No, you can't. You will ruin our show. You don't know the songs or the steps. You are not ready. Go back to your mom." + +Lily felt hurt. She cried. She ran back to her mom. Her mom hugged her and said, "Lily, I'm sorry. The big kids were mean to you. They should have been nicer. But you know what? You are a wonderful singer and dancer. You are ready for your own show. How about we make one at home? You can be the star. I will be your audience. I will clap and cheer for you. I love you, Lily." + +Lily smiled. She liked that idea. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. Let's go home and make a show. I will sing and dance for you. You will be proud of me." + +They went home and made a show. Lily sang and danced with joy. Her mom clapped and cheered for her. Lily felt happy. She did not need the big kids. She had her mom. She had her own stage. She was ready. +Mia likes to play with her toys.

She puts them in boxes and shelves by color and size. + +One day, Mia hears a noise in her room. It is a loud chirp-chirp-chirp. She looks around and sees a cricket on her window. The cricket is green and shiny. It has long legs and wings. Mia thinks the cricket is cute. She wants to play with it. + +She opens her window and reaches for the cricket. But the cricket is fast and jumps away. Mia follows the cricket around her room. She tries to catch it with her hands, a cup, a hat, and a net. But the cricket is smarter and escapes every time. + +Mia makes a big mess with her toys. She throws them on the floor and on the bed. She does not care about being organized. She only cares about the cricket. She wants to be its friend. + +But the cricket does not want to be her friend. It wants to be free. It finds a small hole in the wall and crawls inside. Mia cannot see it anymore. She feels sad and angry. She cries and stomps her feet. + +Her mom hears her cry and comes to her room. She sees the mess and asks Mia what happened. Mia tells her about the cricket. She says she wanted to play with it, but it ran away. She says she is sorry for making a mess. + +Her mom hugs her and says it is okay. She says crickets are wild animals and do not like to be in rooms. She says they like to be outside and sing at night. She says Mia can listen to them from her window, but not touch them. + +She helps Mia clean up her toys and put them back in their places. She says Mia is a good girl for being organized. She says she is proud of her. She gives her a kiss and a cookie. + +Mia feels better. She says thank you to her mom. She says she loves her. She closes her window and lies on her bed. She hears the cricket chirp-chirp-chirp from the hole. She smiles and says good night to it. She falls asleep. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving in different places. Lila said, "Let's go to the jungle, Ben. It is fun and green and has many animals." + +Ben nodded and picked up his red car. He followed Lila's yellow car as they zoomed across the carpet. They made sounds like monkeys and birds and snakes. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lila saw something shiny under the sofa. She stopped her car and crawled to get it. It was a big coin with a lion on it. She was very happy and showed it to Ben. "Look, Ben, I found a jungle coin. It is pretty and shiny and has a lion on it." + +Ben looked at the coin and smiled. He liked lions. He wanted to see the coin better. He said, "Can I have the coin, Lila? Please, can you pass it to me?" + +Lila shook her head. She did not want to give the coin to Ben. She liked it too much. She said, "No, Ben, it is my coin. I found it. You can't have it." + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not think it was fair. He said, "But I want to see the coin, Lila. It is not nice to keep it for yourself. Please, pass it to me." + +Lila and Ben started to argue. They raised their voices and said mean words. They did not play anymore. They were not happy. + +Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the coin. She was confused. She said, "What is going on, Lila and Ben? Why are you fighting over a coin? It is just a coin. It is not worth losing your friendship." + +Lila and Ben looked at Mom. They looked at the coin. They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They realized Mom was right. The coin was not important. Their friendship was important. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lila. Sorry, Ben." + +They hugged and made up.

There was a big dog that guarded the garden. The dog did not like strangers. He barked and chased them away. + +One day, Tom and Anna had a plan. They waited until it was dark.

I was worried. You missed dinner. You were rude." + +Ben felt bad. He felt guilty. He knew he was wrong. He knew he hurt his mom. He wished he ate the spaghetti. He wished he said sorry. He wished he said goodbye. + +He said, "Mom, I am sorry. I was bad. I did not eat the spaghetti. I did not listen to you. I did not say sorry. I did not say goodbye. I was hungry. I was tired. I was wrong." + +His mom hugged him. She said, "I forgive you. I love you. But you have to learn. You have to eat when you are hungry. You have to listen when I talk. You have to say sorry when you are rude. You have to say goodbye when you leave." + +Ben nodded. He said, "I will. I love you too. Can I have some spaghetti now?" + +His mom smiled.

They said they were bored and wanted to play. They did not say they were sorry. + +Their father said they had to punish them for what they did. He said they had to give back the money and help him fix the papers. He also said they had to clean their room and give away some of their toys and clothes to children who had less. He said they had to learn to respect and appreciate what they had. + +Tom and Sue cried and begged their father not to punish them. They said they were sorry and they would not do it again. But their father said they had to face the consequences of their actions. He said he loved them, but he also wanted them to be good and responsible. He said he hoped they would understand and change their behavior. He hugged them and took them to their room. He helped them clean and sort their things.

He says the dog is for work. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They think the dog is lonely. They think the dog wants to play. They have an idea. They hide behind a tree. They wait for the man to go away. They wait for the dog to come near. + +When the dog is close, they call him. They say, "Hello, dog. Do you want to play?" The dog hears them. He looks at them. He wags his tail. He runs to them. He licks their faces. He barks. He is happy. + +Tom and Lily are happy too. They throw a ball for the dog. They pet him. They hug him. They tell him he is a good dog.

They say, "Sorry, man. We just wanted to make the dog happy. He is a nice dog. He likes to play." The man looks at the dog. The dog looks at the man. The dog wags his tail. He barks. He is still happy. + +The man is surprised. He says, "Maybe you are right. Maybe the dog needs some fun. Maybe he can play with you sometimes. But only when I say so. And only for a little while.

They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big tree with many grapes on it. The grapes are purple and shiny. + +"Mom, can we pick some grapes?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. The tree is very old and some branches are weak. Stay close to me and don't climb too high," mom says. + +Sara and Ben nod and run to the tree. They pick some grapes and put them in a basket. They are sweet and juicy. Sara and Ben share them with mom. + +"Yum, these are the best grapes ever!" Ben says. + +"Look, mom, I found a big one!" Sara says. She holds up a grape that is bigger than her fist. + +"Wow, that's a huge grape! Can I see it?" mom says. + +Sara gives the grape to mom. Mom looks at it and smiles. + +"This is not a grape, Sara. This is a plum. It looks like the old tree has a plum branch too. How funny!" mom says. + +"A plum? What is a plum?" Sara asks. + +"A plum is a fruit that is like a grape, but bigger and softer. It has a pit inside. Do you want to try it?" mom asks. + +Sara and Ben nod. Mom cuts the plum and gives them each a piece. They bite into it and make a face. + +"Ew, this is sour!" Sara says. + +"I don't like it!" Ben says. + +They spit out the plum and reach for more grapes. + +"Can we have more grapes, mom?" they ask. + +"Of course, my loves. Grapes are better than plums, right?" mom says. + +They all laugh and enjoy the grapes. They stay in the park until the sun goes down. They are happy and full. +Tim and Mia like to play basketball. They have a big ball that is orange and rough. They bounce the ball on the ground and try to throw it in the hoop. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a lot of other kids playing with different toys. Some have bikes, some have dolls, some have cars. Tim and Mia want to play with them, but they do not know how to ask. + +They see a boy with a big basket full of balls. The balls are different colors and sizes. Tim and Mia think they look fun. They run to the boy and grab some balls from the basket. + +"Hey, stop that!" the boy shouts. "Those are my balls! Give them back!" + +But Tim and Mia do not listen.

They do not know why they did that. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Tim says. + +"I'm sorry, too," Mia says. + +Their mom hugs them and says, "I'm glad you are sorry, but that was not nice. You should not take other people's things without asking. And you should not throw them around and hurt others. How would you feel if someone did that to your basketball?" + +Tim and Mia think. They love their basketball. They would be sad and mad if someone took it and threw it away. + +"We would feel bad, mom," Tim says. + +"We would feel very bad," Mia says. + +Their mom says, "Then you should say sorry to the boy and his balls. And you should ask him if you can play with them nicely." + +Tim and Mia nod. They walk to the boy and his basket. They look at him and say, "We are sorry. We should not have taken your balls and thrown them. Can we play with you and your balls?" + +The boy looks at them. He is still angry, but he sees that they are sorry. He says, "OK, you can play with me and my balls. But you have to be careful and gentle. And you have to share and take turns." + +Tim and Mia smile. They say, "Thank you. We will be careful and gentle. And we will share and take turns." + +The boy smiles, too. He says, "You're welcome. My name is Ben. What are your names?" + +"I'm Tim," Tim says. + +"I'm Mia," Mia says. + +They shake hands and say, "Nice to meet you." + +They play with the balls and the basketball. They have fun and make friends. Their mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of them. She thinks they learned a good lesson. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms. They found many worms of different sizes and colors. They put them in a bucket and showed them to each other. + +"Look, this one is big and brown. And this one is small and red. And this one is curly and green," Lily said. + +"They are all different and interesting. Can we keep them as pets?" Max asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked the worms, but she did not know how to take care of them. She remembered that her mom cooked food for them every day. Maybe she could cook food for the worms too. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and cook food for the worms. Maybe they like bread and cheese and apples," she said. + +Max agreed. He liked to cook with his mom sometimes. He thought it was fun to mix and cut and bake things. He hoped the worms would like their food. + +They took the bucket of worms and went to the kitchen.

And we are good friends to the worms. They are our pets now," Max said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy too. They liked to play and cook and take care of the worms. They were good children. +Lily and Ben wanted to play with ice. They saw a big ice block in the freezer. They asked Mom if they could take it out. + +"OK, but be careful. It is very cold and hard. And don't make a mess," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben took the ice block to the backyard. They put it on the grass. They tried to break it with their hands, but it was too strong. They tried to kick it, but it hurt their feet. + +"I have an idea," Ben said. "Let's use a stick." + +He ran to the shed and got a stick. He came back and hit the ice block with the stick. It made a loud crack. Lily and Ben cheered. + +They hit the ice block again and again. It broke into smaller pieces. They picked up the pieces and threw them in the air. They laughed and shouted. + +But soon the ice pieces started to melt. They became wet and slippery. They stuck to their fingers and clothes. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. "The ice is ending. What do we do now?" + +Ben looked at the ice pieces. He felt impatient. He wanted to play more. + +"Let's go back to the freezer and get more ice," he said. + +He grabbed Lily's hand and ran to the house. He opened the freezer door and reached for another ice block. + +But Mom saw them and stopped them. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" she asked. "You can't take more ice. You already made a big mess. Look at your clothes. They are all wet and dirty. And look at the backyard. There are ice pieces everywhere. You need to clean up." + +Lily and Ben looked at Mom. They looked at each other. They felt sorry. + +"Sorry, Mom," they said. + +They put the ice block back in the freezer. They closed the door. They went to the backyard and picked up the ice pieces. They threw them in the trash. They went to their room and changed their clothes. + +They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. Something that does not end so fast. Something that does not make a mess. Something like... blocks. +Tom and Jen were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big cup on the table. It was full of hot tea. Tom wanted to drink some tea. He said to Jen, "I want tea. Give me the cup." + +Jen said, "No, Tom. The tea is hot. You will burn your mouth. Mommy said no tea for us. We have juice in the fridge." + +Tom did not listen to Jen. He was angry. He grabbed the cup from the table. He did not see that the cup was thick and heavy. He did not hold it well. The cup slipped from his hand. The hot tea spilled on his face and chest. He screamed. + +Jen was scared. She ran to get Mommy. Mommy came and saw Tom. He was crying and red. He had blisters on his skin. Mommy said, "Oh, Tom. What did you do? You are hurt. You suffer. You need to go to the hospital." + +Mommy took Tom to the car. She drove fast to the hospital. Jen stayed with Grandma. She was sad. She wished Tom had listened to her. She hoped he would be okay. She said a prayer for him. She did not know if he would ever drink tea again. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to explore the woods near their home. One day, they found a big hole in the ground that looked like a cave. They wanted to see what was inside, so they took a flashlight and a whistle and went in. + +The cave was dark and cold, and they saw many strange things on the walls and the floor. They saw bones and pots and jewels and pictures. They thought they were very old and special. They wanted to take some of them home, so they put them in their pockets and backpacks. + +But then they heard a loud roar that made them very scared. They saw a big animal with sharp teeth and claws coming out of the shadows. It was a bear, and it looked very angry. It wanted to protect its home and its things. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted. He blew his whistle as hard as he could, hoping that someone would hear them and help them. Lily ran after him, but she tripped on a rock and fell down. The bear was getting closer and closer. + +"Ben, help me, please!" Lily cried. She was hurt and could not get up. Ben wanted to help her, but he was too afraid. He ran out of the cave and left her behind. He prayed that she would be okay, but he knew that he had done a bad thing. + +The bear reached Lily and grabbed her with its mouth. She screamed and then she was quiet. Ben heard her scream and felt very sad and sorry. He wished he had been brave and stayed with her. He wished he had never gone into the cave. He wished he had never taken the bear's things. He wished he could go back and change everything. But it was too late. He had lost his sister and his friend. He had lost everything. +Lily is a cat. She likes to play with her toys. She has a ball, a mouse, and a feather. She runs and jumps and chases them. She is happy. + +One day, she sees a new toy. It is a big, soft, brown bear. It has a red bow and a smile. Lily thinks it is nice. She wants to play with it. + +She goes to the bear and sniffs it. It smells good. She rubs her head on it. It feels good. She paws at it.

I love you." + +She closes her eyes and falls asleep. The bear does not move. It just smiles. Lily and the bear are friends. They are happy. +Ben liked to draw with his crayons. He drew many things, like cars, trees, and stars. But his favorite thing to draw was dragons. He liked dragons because they were big, strong, and could fly and breathe fire. + +One day, he drew a very impressive dragon. It had green scales, yellow eyes, and red wings. He was very proud of his dragon and wanted to show it to his mom. He ran to the kitchen, where his mom was making lunch. + +"Look, mom, look!" he said, holding up his paper. "I drew a dragon!" + +His mom smiled and looked at his drawing. She saw the green scales, the yellow eyes, and the red wings. She also saw that Ben had written his name and the word "dragon" on the paper. + +"Wow, Ben, that's a very impressive dragon!" she said. "You did a great job! I like how you wrote your name and the word 'dragon' too. You are learning to write very well!" + +Ben felt happy and proud. His mom hugged him and kissed his cheek.

They also liked to eat ice cream and popcorn at the zoo. + +One day, they went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw the lions, the monkeys, the elephants, and the giraffes. They had a lot of fun. But then they saw a bear. The bear was in a small cage, and he looked sad and bored. He had no toys, no friends, and no grass to play on. + +Ben and Sam felt sorry for the poor bear. They wanted to help him. They asked their mom and dad if they could give him some popcorn or ice cream. But their mom and dad said no. They said the bear could not eat those things, and that they should not go near the cage. + +But Ben and Sam did not listen. They waited until their mom and dad were looking at the birds, and then they ran to the bear's cage. They threw some popcorn and ice cream over the fence, and hoped the bear would like them. + +The bear saw the food, and smelled the sweet and salty things. He was hungry, and curious. He came closer to the fence, and reached out his paw. He grabbed some popcorn and ice cream, and put them in his mouth. He did not like them. They made him sick. He spit them out, and growled. + +Ben and Sam were scared. They thought the bear was angry at them. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The bear was faster. He pushed the fence with his paw, and made a hole. He got out of the cage, and chased Ben and Sam. He caught them, and bit them. He hurt them a lot. + +Their mom and dad heard their screams, and ran to them. They saw the bear, and the blood, and the food. They were shocked, and sad, and angry. They called for help, and tried to save Ben and Sam. But it was too late. Ben and Sam were dead. + +The moral of the story is: Do not feed the animals at the zoo. They have their own food, and their own rules. They can be dangerous, and hurt you. Listen to your mom and dad, and stay away from the cages. +One day, Ben and Lily went to a big event with their mom and dad. It was a fair with many rides, games and animals. Ben and Lily were very excited to see and do everything. + +They saw a big wheel that went round and round in the sky. They wanted to go on it, so their mom and dad bought them tickets. They got on a seat that looked like a basket and put on a belt. The wheel started to move and they went up and up and up. + +Ben and Lily felt happy and scared at the same time. They could see the whole fair and the people and cars below. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They shouted and laughed and waved to their mom and dad. + +But then, the wheel stopped. Ben and Lily were at the very top. They did not know why. They looked around and saw that some people were working on the wheel. They heard a loud noise and saw sparks. They felt worried and confused. + +They waited and waited and waited. They felt bored and hungry and thirsty. They wanted to get off the wheel and go to their mom and dad. They felt sad and angry and tired. + +Finally, the wheel started to move again. It went down and down and down. Ben and Lily felt relieved and happy. They got off the wheel and ran to their mom and dad. They hugged them and told them what happened. Their mom and dad felt sorry and proud. They said they were very brave and gave them a big treat. + +Ben and Lily felt better and smiled. They said they liked the wheel, but it was too crazy. They wanted to see the animals instead. They went to the farm and saw cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. They felt calm and curious. They had fun and learned new things. + +They had a good day at the fair, but they never went on the wheel again. +Lily likes to design things. She has many papers, crayons, scissors and glue. She makes pictures, cards, hats and masks. She has fun with her design. + +One day, she wants to design a mask for her cat, Milo. She cuts out a big paper circle and draws a face on it. She makes two holes for the eyes and one for the nose. She also cuts out two paper ears and glues them on the top. She thinks the mask looks good. + +She calls Milo and puts the mask on him. But Milo does not like the mask. He shakes his head and tries to take it off. He meows loudly and runs away. Lily runs after him and says, "Milo, wait! I want to see your mask!" + +Milo runs into the kitchen, where Mom is cooking. He jumps on the table and knocks over a bowl of flour. The flour spills everywhere and makes a big mess. Mom sees the mess and says, "Oh no! What happened here?" + +Lily comes into the kitchen and sees the mess too. She sees Milo hiding under a chair, still wearing the mask. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was trying to design a mask for Milo, but he didn't like it. He made a mess." + +Mom sighs and says, "Lily, I know you like to design things, but you have to be careful. You can't put things on Milo that he doesn't want. And you have to clean up your messes. Can you help me clean this up?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, Mom. I'm sorry. I will help you. And I will take off the mask from Milo. Maybe he will like a hat better." +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a ball in its mouth. They want to pet the dog and play with the ball. + +"Hi, doggy! Can we play with you?" Lily asks. + +The dog wags its tail and drops the ball. Lily and Ben run to get the ball. But the dog runs faster and picks up the ball again. + +"Hey, that's not fair! Give us the ball!" Ben says. + +The dog barks and runs away. Lily and Ben chase the dog. They see the dog go up some steps. They follow the dog up the steps. + +But when they get to the top, they see a big sign. The sign says "No dogs allowed". There is a man in a uniform. He looks angry. He sees the dog and Lily and Ben. + +"Hey, you! What are you doing here? This is a museum. You can't bring a dog here!" the man says. + +Lily and Ben are confused. They don't know what a museum is. They don't know why the man is angry. They just want to play with the dog and the ball. + +"Sorry, sir. We don't know what a museum is. We just want to play with the dog and the ball," Lily says. + +The man shakes his head. He points to the steps. + +"Go back down the steps. Now. And take the dog with you. This is a place for people to watch old things. Not for dogs to make a mess," the man says. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They don't understand why the man is so mean. They don't want to leave the dog and the ball. They look at the dog. The dog looks sad too. + +"Come on, doggy. Let's go. Maybe we can find another place to play," Ben says. + +Lily and Ben go back down the steps. They hold the dog's leash. The dog follows them. They hope to find a friendlier place to play. +Tommy was a baby who liked to play in his crib. He had many toys, but his favorite was a large ball.

He laughed when the ball bounced on the crib and made a loud noise. + +One day, his mom came to his room and said, "Tommy, it's time for your nap. Put your ball away and lie down." Tommy did not want to nap. He wanted to play with his ball. He said, "No, mom, no nap. Play ball, play ball!" His mom sighed and said, "Okay, Tommy, you can play for five more minutes. But then you have to nap, or you will be very tired and cranky." + +Tommy was happy. He threw his ball in the air and caught it with his hands. He threw it higher and higher, and laughed louder and louder. He did not see that his mom left the room and closed the door. He did not hear that his mom went downstairs to do some work. He did not notice that his ball was getting closer and closer to the window. + +The last time he threw his ball, it was too high. It hit the window and broke it. The ball flew out of the window and landed on the street. Tommy was shocked. He wanted his ball back. He climbed out of his crib and ran to the window. He looked down and saw his ball on the street. He also saw a large car coming fast. He did not know that cars were dangerous. He did not know that he should not go out of the window. He did not know that his mom would not hear him cry. + +He reached out his hand and tried to catch his ball. He leaned out of the window and lost his balance.

And that is not your drum. That is Dad's drum. He plays it in a band. You should not touch his things. You could break them." + +Tom and Ann are scared. They did not know. They thought the sack and the drum were toys. They are sorry. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom says. He gives the drum back to Mom. + +"Sorry, Mom," Ann says. She gives the hat, the ball, and the book back to Mom. + +Mom takes the things and puts them back in the sack. She ties the sack and puts it away. She is still angry, but she is also kind. + +"It's okay, Tom and Ann," Mom says. "I know you did not mean to be bad. But you have to ask before you use other people's things. And you have to be careful with them. They are not toys. They are important to Dad. He works hard to buy them. He is very good at playing the drum. He is in a band with his friends. They play music for people. They make people happy. Do you want to hear them?" + +Tom and Ann nod. They want to hear Dad's band. They like music. They are curious. + +"Okay, then," Mom says. "Come with me. I will take you to the garage. Dad and his friends are practicing there. They have a thin drum, a big drum, a guitar, and a microphone. They sound very good. Maybe they will let you watch and listen. But you have to be quiet and polite. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Ann nod. They understand. They follow Mom to the garage. They see Dad and his friends. They see the thin drum, the big drum, the guitar, and the microphone. They hear the music. They are amazed. They smile. They clap. They are happy. +Lily liked to wander on the beach. She liked to see the shells and the crabs and the birds. She liked to feel the sand and the water on her feet. She did not like to wander too far from her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily saw a shiny thing in the sand. It was a necklace with a star on it. Lily thought it was pretty. She picked it up and put it around her neck. She felt happy. + +But Lily did not know that the necklace was cheap. It was not made of gold or silver. It was made of metal that turned green and broke easily. And Lily did not know that the tide was coming in. The tide was the water that moved up and down the beach. Sometimes it was low and sometimes it was high. + +The tide came in and covered Lily's feet. Lily did not mind. She liked the water. She wandered a little more. The tide came in and covered Lily's legs. Lily did not mind. She liked the water. She wandered a little more. + +But then the tide came in and covered Lily's chest. Lily was scared. She did not like the water. She wanted to go back to her mom and dad. She turned around and saw that they were far away. She cried for help. The water was cold and deep. + +Lily's mom and dad heard her cry. They ran to her and picked her up. They hugged her and told her they were sorry. They told her not to wander too far. They told her to be careful of the tide. They told her they loved her. + +Lily was glad that her mom and dad were there. She was sorry that she wandered too far. She was sorry that she was not careful of the tide. She loved her mom and dad. She took off the necklace and threw it in the water. She did not want it anymore. It was cheap and it hurt her neck. She wanted to go home. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play outside and make things with their toys. One day, they saw a big red mailbox near their house. It had a flag and a slot for letters. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It is so shiny and pretty. I wonder what is inside." + +Max was curious too. He wanted to see the letters and the stamps. He had an idea. + +"Let's play a game," he said. "I dare you to open the mailbox and take out one letter. Then you can dare me to do something." + +Lily thought for a moment. She knew that opening the mailbox was not nice. It was for the mailman and the people who lived there. But she also liked games and challenges. She was brave and creative. + +"OK, I will do it," she said. "But you have to do something harder after." + +She ran to the mailbox and lifted the flag. She peeked inside and saw many envelopes. She grabbed one and ran back to Max. + +"Ha, I did it!" she said. "Now it is your turn. I dare you to..." + +She stopped. She saw a man coming out of the house. He looked angry and surprised. He saw Lily and Max with the letter. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he shouted. "That is my mail. Give it back!" + +Lily and Max were scared. They dropped the letter and ran away. They learned their lesson. They never dared to open the mailbox again. +Lila is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She does not need help from Mom or Dad. + +One day, Lila wants to make breakfast for Mom and Dad. She goes to the kitchen and finds some eggs. She knows how to crack eggs. She saw Mom do it many times. She takes an egg and taps it on the counter. But the egg breaks too much. The yolk and the white spill on the counter and the floor. Lila is sad. She tries another egg. The same thing happens. Lila is frustrated. She tries a third egg. The same thing happens again. Lila is angry. She throws the egg on the floor. It makes a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees Lila and the eggs. She is shocked. She says, "Lila, what are you doing? Why did you break all the eggs?" + +Lila says, "I wanted to make breakfast for you and Dad. I wanted to be independent. But I can't crack eggs. They are too hard. I don't like eggs. They are stupid." + +Mom says, "Lila, I appreciate that you wanted to make breakfast for us. That is very sweet of you. But you have to listen to me. Cracking eggs is not easy. You need to be careful and gentle. And you need to ask for help if you don't know how to do something. You can't just throw things and make a mess. That is not independent. That is naughty." + +Lila says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't listen to you. I wanted to do it by myself. But I don't know how. Can you teach me how to crack eggs?" + +Mom says, "Of course, Lila. I can teach you how to crack eggs. But first, we have to clean up this mess. And then, we can make breakfast together. How does that sound?" + +Lila says, "That sounds good, Mom. I love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Lila. You are a big girl. But you are also my little girl. And I'm always here to help you." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big ball and a small bike. They share and have fun. + +One day, the sky is gray. There are many clouds. Sara and Ben are sad. They want to play outside, but they think it will rain. They ask their mom if they can go out. + +Mom says, "You can go out, but you have to wear your raincoats and boots. And you have to come back if it rains. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben say, "Yes, mom. We understand." They put on their raincoats and boots. They take their ball and bike. They go out to the yard. + +They play with their ball and bike. They are happy. They do not see the clouds. They do not hear the thunder. They do not feel the wind. + +Suddenly, it rains. It rains hard. It rains fast. Sara and Ben are wet. They are cold. They are scared. They want to go back to the house. But they do not know where they are. They are lost. + +They cry. They call for mom. But mom does not hear them. Mom does not see them. Mom does not come. Mom is busy. Mom is not dependable. Mom does not prevent them from getting lost. Sara and Ben are alone. They are in trouble. The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They have the same birthday. They like to play games, but they are very competitive. They always want to win and be the best. + +Today is their birthday. Mom and Dad give them a big cake and many presents. Sara and Ben are happy, but they also want to see who gets the better gifts. + +"Look, I got a new bike!" Sara says. "It is red and shiny. It is faster than your old bike." + +"Ha, I don't care about your bike," Ben says. "I got a new robot. It can talk and dance. It is smarter than your doll." + +They start to argue and fight over their toys. Mom and Dad are sad. They want Sara and Ben to share and be nice to each other. + +"Stop it, you two," Mom says. "It is your birthday. You should be happy and grateful. You have each other and you have us. We love you both very much." + +"But Mom, she always wants to beat me," Ben says. + +"But Mom, he always wants to show off," Sara says. + +Mom sighs. She has an idea. She takes out a big box and puts it on the table. + +"This is a special present for both of you," she says. "But you have to trust me and each other. You have to open it together and promise not to fight over it. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They are curious and excited. They nod and say yes. + +They hold hands and walk to the box. They lift the lid and peek inside. They gasp and smile. It is a big puzzle with a picture of their family. It has many pieces and colors. + +"Wow, this is awesome!" Sara says. + +"Yeah, this is cool!" Ben says. + +They hug Mom and Dad and thank them. They decide to work on the puzzle together and help each other. They realize that they have more fun when they cooperate and share. They learn to trust and love each other more. They have the best birthday ever. +Ben and Lily went on a safari with Mom and Dad. They saw many big animals, like lions, elephants, and giraffes. Ben and Lily liked the animals, but they also liked the big jeep they rode in. It was green and had big wheels. + +One day, the jeep went over a bump and made a loud noise. Mom and Dad looked worried. They said the jeep was broken and they had to stop. Ben and Lily were sad. They wanted to see more animals. + +They got out of the jeep and waited for help. It was very hot and sunny. Ben and Lily felt thirsty and bored. They saw a small pond nearby. It had water and some frogs. Ben and Lily ran to the pond. They dipped their feet in the water. It felt cool and nice. + +"Look, Lily, frogs!" Ben said. He pointed to a green frog on a leaf. "Can we catch one?" + +"OK, Ben, let's try!" Lily said. She reached for the frog. But the frog was fast. It jumped into the water and made a splash. Ben and Lily laughed. They tried to catch more frogs. They splashed each other with water. They had fun. + +Mom and Dad watched them and smiled. They said they were happy that Ben and Lily could have fun even when the jeep was broken. They said help was coming soon. They said they loved Ben and Lily very much. Ben and Lily hugged them and said they loved them too. They said they liked the safari, even with the broken jeep. +Anna was an adventurous girl. She liked to go to new places and see new things. One day, she went with her mom and dad to the big city. They took a bus to get there. + +Anna liked the bus. It was big and yellow and made a loud noise. She looked out the window and saw many cars and people and buildings. She saw a park with swings and slides and a pond with ducks. She saw a store with toys and books and candy. She saw a museum with dinosaurs and paintings and statues. She wanted to see everything. + +When the bus stopped, Anna was so excited that she forgot to wait for her mom and dad. She ran out of the bus and into the street. She did not see the red light or the car that was coming fast. She did not hear her mom and dad shout her name. + +But she heard the bus driver shout. He saw Anna and he saw the car. He honked his horn and waved his arm. He shouted at the car to stop. He shouted at Anna to come back. He was very brave and very loud. + +The car stopped just in time. Anna was scared and sorry. She ran back to the bus and hugged the bus driver. She said thank you and sorry. She hugged her mom and dad and said sorry again. They were very happy and very relieved. They said thank you to the bus driver too. + +The bus driver smiled and said it was okay. He said he was glad Anna was safe. He said he liked adventurous girls, but they had to be careful too. He said he would take them to the park and the store and the museum. He said he would show them many things. He said he would be their friend. + +Anna smiled and said yes. She said she liked the bus driver. She said he was kind and brave and loud. She said he was adventurous too. She said he was her friend. +Tom and Lily wanted to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. But Mom said they had to wait. She had to do some work on her laptop. Tom and Lily were frustrated. They did not like to wait. + +"Mom, can we go now?" Tom asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. I need ten more minutes," Mom said. + +"Ten minutes is too long!" Lily whined. + +Tom had an idea. He saw a bucket and a shovel in the corner. He grabbed them and ran to the door. + +"Come on, Lily. Let's go to the beach. We can make a sandcastle," he said. + +Lily followed him. They sneaked out of the house and ran to the beach. They found a spot near the water and started to dig and pile up the sand. They made a big sandcastle with a tower and a flag. + +They were having fun. But they did not notice the tide. The tide was coming in. It was getting closer and closer to their sandcastle. + +Suddenly, a big wave came and washed away their sandcastle. Tom and Lily gasped. They were sad and angry. They had worked hard on their sandcastle. Now it was gone. + +They heard Mom calling them. She had finished her work and came to look for them. She saw them on the beach, wet and dirty. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing here? You were supposed to wait for me. And look at your clothes. They are soaked and sandy. You are in big trouble," she said. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They knew they had done something bad. They wished they had listened to Mom and waited for her to go to the park. +Anna and Ben love to sing. They sing at home, at school, and in the park. They sing happy songs, sad songs, and funny songs. They sing loud and soft, fast and slow, high and low. + +One day, their mom says, "I have a surprise for you. We are going to the opera!" Anna and Ben do not know what the opera is. They think it is a place where people sing. They are excited. + +They put on their nice clothes and go to the big building. They sit in their seats and wait for the show to start. They see a lot of people on the stage. They hear a lot of music. But they do not like the opera. The people sing in a language they do not understand. The songs are long and boring. The music is loud and scary. The story is sad and scary. Anna and Ben feel miserable. + +They look at their mom. She is smiling and clapping. She likes the opera. They do not want to make her sad. They try to be quiet and polite. But they are very unhappy. + +"Mom, can we go home?" Anna whispers. + +"Mom, can we pass the time?" Ben whispers. + +"Not yet, my loves. The opera is not over. You have to be patient. Maybe you will like the next part." Mom whispers back. + +Anna and Ben sigh. They hope the opera will end soon. They miss their home, their school, and their park. They miss their happy songs, their sad songs, and their funny songs. They miss their loud and soft, their fast and slow, their high and low. They miss their singing. +Lily liked to learn new things, but she did not like to read. She thought reading was hard and boring. Her mom and dad wanted her to read better, so they hired a tutor for her. A tutor was a person who helped you learn things. + +The tutor came to Lily's house every week. His name was Mr. Lee. He was very kind and patient. He brought books and games for Lily to read and play. He also brought a toy bear for Lily to hug. He said the bear was his friend and he wanted to share it with Lily. + +One day, Lily was feeling grumpy. She did not want to read or play with Mr. Lee. She wanted to watch TV and eat snacks. She ignored Mr. Lee when he asked her questions. She threw the books and games on the floor. She even squeezed the toy bear so hard that it made a loud noise. Mr. Lee looked sad and surprised. He said, "Lily, why are you doing this? Don't you like me or the bear?" + +Lily felt ashamed. She knew she was being rude and mean. She did not hate Mr. Lee or the bear. She was just frustrated and angry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lee. I do like you and the bear. I'm just tired of reading. It's too hard for me. I can't do it." + +Mr. Lee smiled and hugged Lily. He said, "Lily, I understand. Reading can be hard sometimes. But you can do it. You are smart and brave. You just need to practice and have fun. Reading can open your mind and your heart to many wonderful things. The bear and I are here to help you and support you. Will you give us another chance?" + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "Yes, Mr. Lee. I will try again. Thank you for being my tutor and my friend. And thank you for sharing your bear with me. Can I hug him again?" + +Mr. Lee handed her the bear and said, "Of course, Lily. You can hug him as much as you want. He likes you too. Now, let's pick up the books and games and start over. Are you ready?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Lee. I'm ready." + +The moral of the story is: Learning can be hard, but it can also be fun and rewarding. We should respect and appreciate the people who help us learn. We should also apologize and make up when we make mistakes. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to crawl under the bushes and pretend they were animals. Tim was a lion and Lily was a rabbit. + +"Roar!" Tim said. "I will catch you, rabbit!" + +"Help!" Lily said. "Run, run, run!" + +They crawled and ran and laughed. They had fun. + +But then, Lily saw something weird. It was a big red truck with a loud noise. It stopped in front of their house. Two men jumped out of the truck. They had yellow hats and coats. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tim said. "It looks like an emergency." + +They crawled out of the bushes and ran to the fence. They saw the men run to their house. They had a long hose and a big ladder. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" Tim and Lily shouted. "What is happening?" + +Their mommy and daddy came out of the house. They looked scared and sad. + +"Tim, Lily, come here!" their mommy said. "There is a fire in the kitchen. We have to go to the neighbor's house." + +"Fire?" Tim and Lily asked. "What is fire?" + +"Fire is hot and bright and dangerous," their daddy said. "It can hurt you and burn things. The men are here to put out the fire." + +Tim and Lily felt scared and curious. They did not like fire. They wanted to see the men put out the fire. + +"Can we watch?" Tim asked. + +"No, you can't," their mommy said. "It is not safe. You have to stay with us. Come on, let's go." + +Tim and Lily followed their mommy and daddy. They held their hands. They went to the neighbor's house. They hoped the fire would go away soon. They hoped their house would be okay. They hoped they could play in the garden again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big slide. It is very high and shiny. Anna wants to try it. Ben is nervous. He thinks it is too fast and scary. + +"Come on, Ben. Let's go on the slide. It will be fun!" Anna says. She runs to the ladder and climbs up. She stands at the top and looks down. She smiles and waves at Ben. + +Ben walks slowly to the ladder. He looks up and sees Anna. He feels his heart beat fast. He holds the ladder and climbs up. He stands next to Anna and looks down. He does not smile. He holds the zip of his jacket. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Anna asks. She sits on the slide and holds the sides. She looks at Ben and waits. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to go on the slide. He wants to go back down. He tries to move, but his legs are stiff. He is too nervous. + +"Please, Anna. I don't want to go on the slide. Can we go back down?" Ben says. He looks at Anna with big eyes. + +Anna sees that Ben is scared. She feels sorry for him. She does not want to make him sad. She thinks of an idea. + +"OK, Ben. We don't have to go on the slide. But can we do something else? Can we stand here and look at the birds and the trees and the clouds? They are very pretty. Maybe we can see something funny or interesting. What do you think?" Anna says. She smiles and points at the sky. + +Ben looks at the sky. He sees a blue bird, a green tree and a white cloud. He thinks they are very pretty. He feels his heart beat slower. He smiles and nods. + +"OK, Anna. We can stand here and look at the sky. Maybe we can see something funny or interesting. Thank you for being my friend." Ben says. He holds Anna's hand and looks at the sky. + +Anna and Ben stand on the slide and look at the sky. They see many things. They laugh and talk. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara loved pink. She had a pink dress, a pink hat, a pink bike and a pink teddy bear. She wanted everything to be pink. She was very stubborn. + +One day, her mom took her to the park. There were many other kids playing there. Sara saw a boy with a blue ball. She liked the ball. She ran to the boy and said, "Give me your ball!" + +The boy was surprised. He said, "No, this is my ball. You can't have it." + +Sara was angry. She said, "But I want it! It is a nice ball. You have to share!" + +The boy shook his head. He said, "No, I don't. You have your own toys. Go play with them." + +Sara refused to listen. She tried to grab the ball from the boy. The boy pulled it back. They started to fight. + +Their moms saw them and came over. They stopped the fight and took their kids away. They said, "You can't be rude and selfish. You have to be polite and kind. You have to ask nicely and wait for an answer. You have to respect other people's things." + +Sara and the boy felt ashamed. They said, "Sorry" to each other. They decided to play together. They shared the ball and had fun. Sara learned that not everything has to be pink. She learned to be more friendly and less stubborn. +Lily and Sam were very happy. They were going on a holiday with Mum and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. They drove for a long time and saw many things. + +They arrived at a big house near the sea. It was their holiday home. They ran inside and chose their rooms. Lily saw a new toy on her bed. It was a record player. She liked music very much. + +She put a record on the player and turned it on. It made a nice sound. She danced and sang along. Sam came in and joined her. They had fun with the record player. Mum and Dad smiled and took a picture. They wanted to record their holiday memories. +Sam and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom, beep and honk when they move the cars on the floor. + +One day, Sam finds a new car in his toy box. It is a black car with big wheels and a shiny hood. Sam thinks it is the coolest car ever. He shows it to Mia and says, "Look, Mia, this is my new car. It can zoom very fast and make loud noises. Do you want to try it?" + +Mia nods and takes the black car from Sam. She pushes it on the floor and makes it zoom around the room. She likes the black car too. She says, "Wow, Sam, this car is fun. It can zoom faster than your other cars. How does it work?" + +Sam says, "It works with gas. Gas is something that makes cars go. You have to put gas in the car before you play with it. See, there is a hole on the back of the car. That is where the gas goes." + +Mia looks at the hole and sees a small bottle inside. She pulls it out and sees that it is filled with a clear liquid. She says, "Is this gas, Sam? It looks like water." + +Sam says, "No, Mia, that is not gas. That is something else. That is something bad. You should not touch it or smell it or drink it. It can make you sick or hurt you. Mommy and Daddy told me so. They said this car is not for little kids. It is for big kids or grown-ups. They said I can only play with it when they are watching. They said I have to be careful with it." + +Mia feels scared and sorry. She says, "Oh, Sam, I did not know that. I am sorry I touched your car. I did not mean to do something bad. Can we play with your other cars instead? They are safer and nicer." + +Sam says, "It's okay, Mia. I am not mad at you. You did not know. But we have to put the car back in the toy box and the bottle back in the hole. We have to wait for Mommy and Daddy to play with it again. Yes, we can play with my other cars. They are safer and nicer. And they can still zoom and make noises. Come on, let's go." +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys. They have many toys, but they like the blocks best. They can make many things with the blocks. They can make houses, cars, towers, and animals. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Ben says. He shows Lily his tower of blocks. It is very tall and has many colors. + +"Wow, Ben, your tower is very nice!" Lily says. She claps her hands. She wants to make a tower too. She takes some blocks and starts to build. + +But then, Lily sees something else. She sees a book on the table. It is a book of numbers. Lily likes numbers. She wants to learn them. She leaves her blocks and goes to the table. She opens the book and looks at the numbers. + +"Ben, come here!" Lily calls. "I want to show you something!" + +Ben hears Lily. He leaves his tower and goes to the table. He sees the book of numbers. He likes numbers too. He sits next to Lily and looks at the book. + +"What do you want to show me, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"Look, Ben, this is a number!" Lily says. She points to a number in the book. It is a big number. It has two parts. It is a ten and a one. It is eleven. + +"Wow, Lily, you know a big number!" Ben says. He is impressed. He wants to know a big number too. He looks at the book and finds another number. It has two parts too. It is a ten and a two. It is twelve. + +"Look, Lily, I know a big number too!" Ben says. He points to the number in the book. It is twelve. + +"Wow, Ben, you are smart!" Lily says. She is happy. She and Ben know big numbers. They are proud. + +They look at the book and learn more numbers. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is in the kitchen. She is making lunch. + +"Lily, Ben, lunch is ready!" Mom says. "Come and eat!" + +Lily and Ben hear Mom. They are hungry. They close the book and go to the kitchen. They see Mom. She has a big smile. She has made something for them. It is a cut of bread with cheese and ham. It is tasty. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Ben say. They take their cuts and eat. They like the cheese and ham. They are yummy. + +They eat and talk. They tell Mom about the numbers. They show Mom the book. Mom is happy. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"You are very good, Lily and Ben!" Mom says. "You are learning a lot!" + +Lily and Ben smile. They are happy. They love Mom. They love numbers. They love cuts. They love each other. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. She liked to pretend that she was the mommy and the dolls were her children. She gave them names and clothes and stories. + +One day, she decided to make coffee for her dolls. She had seen her mommy do it many times. She took a small pot and filled it with water. She put it on the stove and turned it on. She did not know that the stove was hot and dangerous. She thought it was just a toy. + +She went to look for some coffee in the cupboard. She found a big jar with brown powder. She opened it and smelled it. It smelled good. She took a spoon and scooped some powder into the pot. She stirred it and waited for it to boil. + +She heard a loud noise. She turned around and saw that the pot was bubbling and spilling over. The water and the coffee were making a mess on the stove and the floor. She saw smoke and steam. She was fearful. She did not know what to do. + +She ran to her mommy and cried. "Mommy, mommy, help me! I made coffee for my dolls and it went bad!" + +Her mommy heard her and ran to the kitchen. She saw the pot and the stove and the mess. She turned off the stove and moved the pot away. She was angry and scared. She hugged Lily and said. "Lily, what did you do? You could have burned yourself or the house! You should never touch the stove or the coffee! They are not for playing! They are for grown-ups!" + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said. "I'm sorry, mommy. I wanted to be like you. I wanted to make coffee for my dolls. I did not know it was hot and dangerous. I was fearful." + +Her mommy calmed down and said. "I know, Lily. I know you wanted to be nice to your dolls. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The stove and the coffee are not toys. They can hurt you or make you sick. You have to ask me before you use them. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said. "I understand, mommy. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her mommy said. "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's clean up this mess and then we can have some juice and cookies. And maybe later we can play with your dolls together. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled and said. "That sounds good, mommy. Thank you." +Ben and Mia were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked out the window and saw a big tent in the park. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go and see," said Ben. + +"OK," said Mia. + +They put on their shoes and coats and ran to the park. They saw a sign that said "Fun Event". They were excited. + +They went inside the tent and saw many people. They saw a clown, a magician, a puppet show, and a cake stand. They wanted to try everything. + +But the clown was not funny. He only made dull jokes. The magician was not amazing. He only did easy tricks. The puppet show was not fun. It only had old songs. The cake stand was not yummy. It only had dry cookies. + +Ben and Mia were disappointed. They did not have a good time. They wanted to go home. + +"Let's go," said Mia. + +"OK," said Ben. + +They left the tent and walked back to their house. They saw their mom waiting for them. She smiled and hugged them. + +"Did you enjoy the event?" she asked. + +"No, mom," said Ben. "It was dull." + +"We did not care for it," said Mia. + +"I'm sorry to hear that," said mom. "But I have a surprise for you. Come and see." + +She took them to the kitchen and showed them a big cake. It had chocolate, cream, and sprinkles. It looked delicious. + +"Wow!" said Ben. + +"Yay!" said Mia. + +"This is for you," said mom. "I made it while you were gone. I hope you like it." + +"We love it, mom," said Ben and Mia. "Thank you." + +They hugged their mom and ate the cake. They forgot about the dull event. They had a happy time. +Tom and Anna are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like to play with Mom's vase. The vase is big and shiny and has flowers on it. Mom says the vase is very old and special, and they should be careful with it. + +"Look, Anna, I can put the vase on my head!" Tom says. He lifts the vase and puts it on his head. He tries to balance it, but it is too heavy. He wobbles and falls on the couch. The vase falls too, but it does not break. It lands on a pillow. + +Anna laughs. She thinks Tom is funny. She says, "You are silly, Tom! You can't wear a vase on your head!" + +Tom laughs too. He is not hurt. He says, "I know, I know. But it was fun!" + +Mom hears them laughing. She comes to the living room. She sees the vase on the pillow. She is not angry. She is happy that Tom and Anna are having fun. She says, "What are you two doing with my vase?" + +Tom and Anna look at Mom. They smile. They say, "We are playing with it, Mom. We are sorry. We did not break it." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you did not break it. But please, be more careful next time. This vase is very old and special. It was my grandma's vase. She gave it to me when I was a little girl. I am very proud of it." + +Tom and Anna nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We are sorry. We love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too. Now, why don't you play with something else? How about your blocks? You can build a tower or a castle or a bridge." + +Tom and Anna say, "Yes, Mom. That sounds fun. Thank you, Mom." + +They put the vase back on the table. They take their blocks and start to play. They build a tower and a castle and a bridge. They laugh and have fun. Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of them. +Lily was a little girl who liked to do many things. She liked to draw, to sing, to play with her toys and to read books. But she did not like to sleep in her crib at night. She thought her crib was too small, too dark and too boring. + +One night, she heard a mysterious sound from her crib. It was like a soft whisper, but she could not understand what it said. She was curious and scared at the same time. She got out of her bed and tiptoed to her crib. She peeked inside and saw a tiny fairy sitting on her pillow. + +"Hello, Lily," the fairy said. "I am Faye, and I am here to be your friend. I can show you many wonderful things in your dreams, if you sleep in your crib." + +Lily was surprised and happy. She had never seen a fairy before. She wanted to see the wonderful things the fairy could show her. She asked, "What kind of things can you show me, Faye?" + +Faye smiled and said, "I can show you the stars, the moon, the flowers, the animals, the rainbows and more. I can also tell you stories and sing you songs. But you have to sleep in your crib, or I will disappear." + +Lily thought for a moment. She still did not like her crib very much, but she liked Faye a lot. She decided to give it a try. She said, "OK, Faye, I will sleep in my crib tonight. But you have to promise to stay with me and not leave me alone." + +Faye nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. I will stay with you and not leave you alone. Now, let's go to sleep and have some fun." + +Lily climbed into her crib and snuggled with Faye. She felt warm and safe. She closed her eyes and waited for Faye to show her the wonderful things in her dreams. She did not know that Faye was a magic fairy who could make her crib bigger, brighter and more comfortable. She did not know that Faye was sent by her mother, who wished for her daughter to sleep well and be happy. She only knew that she had a new friend who made her feel special. She smiled and fell asleep. +Tom and Ann like to play in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are cooks and make food for their toys. They use pots and pans and spoons and cups. But they are not allowed to touch the big dish on the table. Mom says it is heavy and hot and can break. + +One day, Mom is busy in the garden. Tom and Ann are bored. They want to play with the big dish. They think it looks like a hat or a boat or a drum. They climb on the chairs and reach for the dish. But the dish is too heavy for them. It slips from their hands and falls on the floor. It makes a loud noise and breaks into pieces. + +Mom hears the noise and runs to the kitchen. She sees the broken dish and the mess. She is angry and sad. She says the dish was very old and special. It was a gift from Grandma. She tells Tom and Ann they are naughty and have to go to their room. She says they have to stay there until dinner. + +Tom and Ann feel sorry and scared. They run to their room and cry. They wish they had listened to Mom and not touched the big dish. They hope Mom will forgive them and love them. They hug their toys and wait for dinner. +Anna liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped at playtime, she skipped on the way home. She was happy when she skipped. But some of the other kids did not like to skip. They said skipping was silly and babyish. They laughed at Anna and called her names. They made her feel lonely and sad. + +One day, Anna was skipping in the park after school. She saw a big clock on a tower. It had two hands that pointed to numbers. Anna knew some numbers, but not all of them. She wondered what time it was. She asked a lady who was walking by. The lady smiled and said, "It's noon, dear. That means it's the middle of the day." + +Anna was surprised. She thought noon was only when the sun was high in the sky. But today, the sky was gray and cloudy. She could not see the sun at all. She felt confused and curious. She wanted to know more about noon and the clock and the sky. She thanked the lady and skipped to the library. She hoped to find some books that would help her learn. + +At the library, Anna met a boy who was reading a book about stars. His name was Ben. He liked to learn about space and time and weather. He saw Anna looking at the clock book and asked her if she wanted to read it with him. Anna said yes. She was glad to find someone who shared her interest. She was not lonely anymore. + +They read the book together and learned that noon was when the sun was at its highest point in the sky, but sometimes clouds could hide it. They also learned that the clock showed the time by moving its hands around the numbers. They learned how to tell the time by looking at the clock. They had fun and became friends. + +They decided to skip together to the park and look at the sky. They hoped to see the sun or some stars. They skipped and laughed and talked. They were happy when they skipped. They did not care what the other kids said. They liked to skip. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big cake on the table. It was dessert for after dinner. But they wanted to eat it now. They looked around and saw that Mom and Dad were busy in the other room. They had a plan. + +They crawled under the table and got close to the cake. They reached up and grabbed some with their hands. It was soft and sweet and yummy. They ate and ate and smiled. They did not see the crumbs and cream on their faces and clothes. + +But Mom and Dad saw them. They came into the room and saw the mess. They saw the dirty twins and the half-eaten cake. They were not happy. They said, "Ben and Mia, what did you do? You were naughty. You have to wait for dessert. And you have to clean up." + +Ben and Mia felt bad. They said, "Sorry, Mom and Dad. We were hungry. We like cake." They helped Mom and Dad clean the table and their faces and clothes. They learned their lesson. They did not crawl for dessert again. +Anna likes to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she eats, when she plays, and when she goes to bed. She sings loud and happy songs that make her feel good. + +One day, Anna wants to sing a new song. She looks for a book with songs in the living room, but she cannot find one. She looks for a CD with songs in the bedroom, but she cannot find one. She looks for a toy with songs in the playroom, but she cannot find one. She feels upset. She does not know what to sing. + +She goes to the kitchen and sees the refrigerator. She remembers that the refrigerator has magnets with letters on it. She thinks maybe she can make a song with the letters. She runs to the refrigerator and starts to move the magnets around. She makes words like cat, dog, sun, and fun. She sings: + +Cat, cat, meow, meow +Dog, dog, woof, woof +Sun, sun, shine, shine +Fun, fun, yay, yay + +She likes her song. She sings it louder and louder. She does not hear her mom coming into the kitchen. Her mom hears her song and smiles. She says: + +"Anna, what a nice song you made! I like it very much. But can you please sing a little quieter? Your dad is working in his office and he needs some quiet." + +Anna stops singing. She feels sorry. She did not know her dad was working. She says: + +"Sorry, mom. I did not mean to be loud. I just wanted to sing a new song. I could not find any songs in the house, so I made one with the refrigerator." + +Her mom hugs her. She says: + +"That's very clever, Anna. I'm proud of you. You can sing your song, but just not so loud, okay? And maybe you can sing it for your dad later, when he is done working. I'm sure he would love to hear it." + +Anna nods. She says: + +"Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you." + +She sings her song again, but softly. She feels happy. She likes to sing. +Tim and Lily were cats who lived in a big house with a nice family. They liked to play with their toys, nap on the sofa, and cuddle with their humans. But their favorite thing was to eat tuna, which their family gave them sometimes in a shiny bowl. + +One day, Tim and Lily smelled something delicious in the kitchen. They ran to see what it was, and they saw a big can of tuna on the counter. They jumped up and tried to open it, but it was too hard. They pushed and scratched and bit, but the can did not move. + +They heard their family coming back from outside, and they knew they had to hide. They ran to the living room, where they saw a distant window. They thought maybe they could escape through there and find more tuna outside. They climbed on the curtains and tried to reach the window, but it was too high. They pulled and tugged and meowed, but the window did not move. + +They heard their family coming closer, and they knew they were in trouble. They jumped down from the curtains and ran to the bedroom, where they saw a cozy bed. They thought maybe they could hide under there and wait for the tuna later. They crawled under the bed and tried to make themselves small, but it was too crowded. They bumped and nudged and hissed, but the bed did not move. + +They heard their family opening the door, and they knew they were caught. They saw their humans looking at them with surprise and laughter. They heard them say, "What are you doing, you silly cats? We have a surprise for you!" They saw them holding a shiny bowl full of tuna, and they knew they were happy. They ran to the bowl and tried to eat it all, but it was too much. They licked and chewed and purred, but the tuna did not move. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red truck stop in front of their house. They wondered what it was. They ran to the fence and saw a man with a big hat and a big bag. + +"Hello, kids!" the man said. "I have some news for you. Your mom ordered some pizza for lunch. Do you like pizza?" + +"Yes, we love pizza!" Sara and Tom said. + +"Great! Here you go. One cheese pizza and one spicy pizza. Be careful, the spicy one is very hot. It has peppers and onions on it.

They cried. + +Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the pizza boxes and understood. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, kids. I should have told you. The spicy pizza was for me and dad. You don't have to eat it. You can have more cheese pizza if you want." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They felt better. They went back to the porch and ate more cheese pizza. They liked it. They decided they did not like spicy pizza. They learned something new. They were happy. +Sam and Ben are brothers.

He goes to Ben and says, "Give me your car. I want to play with it." Ben says, "No, Sam. This is my car. You have your truck. Go play with your truck." Sam gets angry and says, "No, I demand your car. It is better than my truck. Give it to me now." He tries to grab the car from Ben's hand. + +Ben does not want to give his car to Sam. He runs away from Sam and says, "Stop, Sam. You are being mean. You cannot have my car. It is mine." He runs in a zigzag to avoid Sam. Sam chases him and says, "Give me your car. Give me your car." + +They run around the house until they reach the backyard. There is a big pile of rocks in the backyard. Ben runs behind the rocks and hides his car. Sam follows him and says, "Where is your car? Give it to me." He looks for the car behind the rocks. + +But the rocks are rough and sharp. Sam hurts his hand on a rock and says, "Ow, ow, ow. It hurts. It hurts." He cries and drops his truck. Ben hears Sam crying and comes out from behind the rocks. He sees Sam's hand bleeding and says, "Oh, Sam. Are you okay? You hurt your hand. Come, I will help you." + +Ben takes Sam's hand and wraps it with a cloth. He says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't want you to get hurt. Here, you can play with my car. I will play with your truck. We can share our toys." Sam says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I'm sorry, too. I was being selfish. I should not have demanded your car. We can share our toys."

She watches Mom cut some carrots, some potatoes, and some chicken. She puts them in the big pot with some water and some salt. She turns on the stove and stirs the soup. + +"Can I stir the soup, Mom?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, you can stir the soup, Sara. But only for a little bit. And you have to hold the spoon with both hands.

We have to wait until the pot makes a noise. The pot will make a noise when the soup is boiling. Do you know what boiling means?" Mom asks. + +Sara shakes her head. She does not know what boiling means. + +"Boiling means the water is very hot and it makes bubbles. The bubbles come up and make a noise. The noise sounds like this: pshhh, pshhh, pshhh.

We have to open the lid carefully, because the steam is hot and it can hurt us." Mom says. + +Mom turns off the stove and puts on some gloves. She opens the lid slowly and carefully. She lets the steam come out. She shows Sara the soup. + +"Look, Sara. The soup is done. It looks good and it smells good. Do you want to try some?" Mom says. + +Sara nods and says: "Yes, please. I want to try some. I helped make the soup. I learned how to make soup." She is happy. + +Mom pours some soup in a bowl and blows on it. She gives it to Sara and says: "Here you go, Sara. Be careful, it is still hot. You have to blow on it too. And you have to use a spoon. You did a great job, Sara. You are a good learner and a good helper. I love you." She hugs Sara. + +Sara hugs Mom and says: "I love you too, Mom. Thank you for teaching me how to make soup. It is yummy." She eats the soup and smiles. She learned something new today.

She felt very clever and happy. + +"Mom, can I taste the soup?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. It's very hot," mom said. She gave Anna a small spoon and a bowl. + +Anna took the spoon and dipped it in the soup. She blew on it to cool it down. She lifted the spoon to her mouth. But then, she saw a big fly on the window. She turned her head to look at it. She forgot about the spoon. She dropped it on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried. The soup spilled on the floor and on her apron. It made a big mess. + +Mom heard Anna and came to see what happened. She saw the soup and the spoon and the fly. She saw Anna's sad face and dirty apron. + +"It's okay, Anna. Don't cry. It was an accident. We can clean it up," mom said. She hugged Anna and gave her a napkin. + +"Thank you, mom. I'm sorry. I was not clever. I was silly," Anna said. + +"No, you are not silly. You are clever and helpful. And you are my sweet girl. I love you," mom said. + +"I love you too, mom. Can I still help you?" Anna asked. + +"Of course you can. How about you help me make some cookies? Do you like cookies?" mom asked. + +"I love cookies! Yes, please!" Anna said. + +Mom smiled and took off Anna's apron. She gave her a clean one. They went to the counter and got the ingredients. They mixed the dough and made shapes with the cookie cutters. They put the cookies in the oven and waited for them to bake. They smelled delicious. + +Anna and mom had fun in the kitchen. They forgot about the soup and the fly. They enjoyed the cookies and each other. They were clever and happy. +Anna and Tom were going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They packed their luggage with clothes, toys and books.

Mom and Dad said it would fly them to their destination. They climbed inside and found their seats. They buckled their belts and waited for the plane to move. + +But the plane did not move. It stayed still for a long time. Anna and Tom heard people talking and shouting. They saw Mom and Dad look at their phones and frown. They asked them what was wrong. + +Mom and Dad said there was a problem with the plane. They said they had to get off and find another plane. They said they had to hurry and not lose their luggage. They said they were sorry and they loved them. + +Anna and Tom felt sad and worried. They did not want to leave the plane. They did not want to find another plane. They did not want to miss their trip. They wanted to go home and be safe. + +They followed Mom and Dad as they grabbed their luggage and ran to the exit. They saw other people do the same. They saw some people cry and some people yell. They saw some people look pale and some people tremble. They wondered what was going to happen next. They wished they had never left home. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the park. They see a big log near the pond. They want to walk on the log. + +"Can we balance on the log, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"Be careful, children. The log is wet and slippery. And don't fall in the mud or the pond," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben are obedient. They hold hands and step on the log. They try to balance and not fall. They laugh and have fun. + +But then a duck swims by and quacks loudly. Anna and Ben look at the duck and lose their balance. They slip and fall off the log. They land in the mud. They are dirty and wet. + +"Oops!" Anna says. + +"Uh-oh!" Ben says. + +Mom runs to them and helps them up. She is not angry. She smiles and hugs them. + +"It's okay, children. You are brave and adventurous. But now you need a bath and a change of clothes," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod and say sorry. They follow Mom to the car. They still giggle and talk about the duck and the log. They had a good time. +Sara and Ben love to bounce on their big red ball. They bounce in the yard, they bounce in the park, they bounce in the house. Sometimes they bounce too high and fall down, but they laugh and bounce again. + +One day, they see a big yellow vehicle on the street. It has a long arm and a big claw. It picks up old things and puts them in a big box. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see what the vehicle does. + +They bounce to the street and watch the vehicle. They see it pick up a chair, a lamp, a bike, and a teddy bear. The teddy bear is brown and fuzzy. It has a red bow and a blue eye. Sara and Ben think it is cute. + +"Look, Ben, a teddy bear!" Sara says. "Can we have it?" + +Ben nods. He likes the teddy bear too. He bounces to the vehicle and tries to reach the teddy bear. But the vehicle is too high and too fast. Ben can't get the teddy bear. + +"Hey, stop!" Ben shouts. "That's our teddy bear!" + +But the vehicle does not stop. It does not hear Ben. It moves to the next house and picks up more old things. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They want the teddy bear. They think the vehicle is mean. They bounce back to the yard and sit on the grass. + +"Poor teddy bear," Sara says. "He is alone in the big box. He has no friends." + +"Poor us," Ben says. "We have no teddy bear. We have only a big red ball." + +They hug each other and cry. They wish they had the teddy bear. They don't want to bounce anymore. +Lila is a bird who likes to clean her feathers.

It is very pretty and colorful. Lila wants to keep it and make it part of her feathers. She picks it up with her beak and tries to stick it in her wing. + +But the feather is too big and too heavy. It makes Lila's wing feel funny and difficult to move. She tries to fly with the feather, but she can't. She falls to the ground and hurts her leg. She feels sad and silly. She realizes that the feather is not good for her. She lets it go and hops away. + +Lila finds a small pond and dips her wing in the water.

"Mom, I want to draw a princess, but it is not good. How can I improve?" she asks. + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. "Anna, your drawing is very nice. You have many colors and shapes. But if you want to improve, you can try some things. You can use a pencil first, to make the lines. Then you can use the crayons to fill in the colors. You can also look at some pictures of princesses, to see how they look. And you can practice more and more, until you are happy with your drawing." + +Anna nods and thanks her mom. She takes a pencil, a new page and some pictures of princesses. She tries to copy the pictures, and then adds her own details. She uses the crayons to make the dress, the crown and the hair.

She did not understand why Tom was so mean to her. She just wanted to see the car, not take it away. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw Lily crying and Tom holding the car. She was angry and disappointed. She took the car from Tom and gave it to Lily. "Tom, you should not be so rude to your sister. She is little and curious. You should share your toys and welcome her to play with you. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" + +Tom looked at Mom and then at Lily. He felt sorry and ashamed. He knew he was wrong. He went to Lily and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. You can see my car and play with it. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily stopped crying and smiled. She hugged Tom back. "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother." + +Mom smiled and kissed them both. "That's better. I'm proud of you, Tom. And I'm glad you are okay, Lily.

Why are you fighting?" + +Tom and Mia tell Mom what they did. Mom says, "You should not fight over blocks. You should share and play nicely. You should value each other more than blocks. Blocks are just things. You are friends." + +Tom and Mia feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, each other. We do value each other more than blocks. Can we play again?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can play again. But first, you have to clean up the blocks. And you have to use your words, not your hands, when you want something. And you have to measure your blocks with this ruler. It has inches on it. See, this is one inch, and this is two inches, and so on. You can use the ruler to see how tall and big your blocks are. And you can use it to share them fairly." + +Tom and Mia say, "OK, Mom. Thank you for the ruler. We will clean up and play nicely. We will use the ruler and the inches. We will share the blocks." + +They start to pick up the blocks. They use the ruler and the inches. They see how tall and big their blocks are. They share them fairly.

They are the best tower and house ever! And we are the best friends ever!" + +Mom smiles and says, "You are right. You are the best friends ever. And you have learned a good lesson. You have learned to value each other and to use inches. And you have learned to play with dry blocks, not wet ones. Wet blocks are no fun. They are sticky and soggy and moldy. Dry blocks are fun. They are smooth and solid and colorful. Do you agree?" + +Tom and Mia nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We agree. We like dry blocks. We do not like wet blocks. We like each other. We do not like fighting. We like playing. We like inches. We like value. We like you." + +Mom hugs them and says, "I like you too. You are my best children ever." +Lily and Ben were playing with a ball in the park.

But the large boy was too fast and strong. He pushed them away and said, "Go away, you are too small and weak." + +Lily and Ben felt like crying. They did not know what to do. They saw a lady sitting on a bench. She was wearing a sweater that looked like their grandma's. They went to her and said, "Excuse us, lady. Can you help us? A large boy took our ball and he won't give it back." + +The lady looked at them and smiled. She said, "Of course, I can help you. I don't like bullies. Come with me." She took them by the hand and walked to the large boy. She said, "Hello, young man. I think you have something that belongs to these children. Can you please give it back to them?" + +The large boy was surprised and scared. He saw the lady's sweater and recognized it. He said, "Oh, no. You are their grandma. I'm sorry, I didn't know. Here, take the ball. I was just joking." + +The lady took the ball and gave it to Lily and Ben. She said, "Thank you, young man. I hope you learned your lesson. It is not nice to take things from others and be mean to them. You should share and be kind. That is how you make friends." + +Lily and Ben thanked the lady and hugged her. They said, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best. We love you." + +The lady said, "You are welcome, my dears. I love you too. Now, go and play with your ball. And remember, be nice to others and they will be nice to you." +Lily and Ben were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut shapes and make pictures. Lily had thick paper that was pink and blue. Ben had thin paper that was yellow and green. + +"Can I have some of your paper?" Ben asked Lily. "My paper is too thin and it rips." + +"No, this is my paper. You have your own paper," Lily said. She did not want to share. + +Ben was angry. He wanted some thick paper too. He saw Lily's scissors on the table. He had an idea. He grabbed the scissors and ran to Lily. + +"Give me your paper or I will cut your hair!" Ben said. He held the scissors near Lily's head. + +Lily was scared. She did not want Ben to cut her hair. She tried to push him away, but he was stronger. She screamed for help. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lily cried. She squeezed her eyes shut and hoped he would go away. + +But Ben did not stop. He cut a big chunk of Lily's hair with the scissors. He laughed and ran away with the hair and the scissors. + +Lily opened her eyes and saw her hair on the floor. She felt a gap on her head. She started to cry. She looked for her mom, but she was not there. She was alone and sad. Ben had ruined her hair and her paper. +Lily is a girl who likes to fix things. She has a box of tools and a lot of toys that she can fix. She likes to fix cars, dolls, trains, and books. She is very good at fixing things. + +One day, Lily sees a high shelf in her room. She wants to see what is on the shelf. She thinks there might be more things to fix. She gets a chair and puts it near the shelf. She climbs on the chair and reaches for the shelf. She sees a big vase with flowers. She thinks the vase is pretty and wants to touch it. + +But the vase is too heavy and too far. Lily tries to pull the vase closer, but she loses her balance. The vase falls from the shelf and breaks on the floor. The chair falls too, and Lily falls with it. She hits her head on the floor and feels a lot of pain. She cries very loud. + +Her mom hears her cry and runs to her room. She sees the broken vase, the fallen chair, and Lily on the floor. She is very scared and angry. She picks up Lily and hugs her. She checks her head and sees blood. She says, "Lily, what did you do? You are very naughty. You could have hurt yourself very badly. You need to go to the doctor. You can't fix this." + +Lily feels sad and sorry. She didn't mean to break the vase or hurt herself. She just wanted to fix things. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to fix the vase. I like to fix things. Please don't be mad at me." + +But mom is still mad at her. She says, "You can't fix everything, Lily. Some things are not for you to touch. You need to listen to me and be careful. You are in big trouble. You can't play with your tools or your toys for a long time." + +Lily cries more. She doesn't like to go to the doctor. She doesn't like to be in trouble. She doesn't like to be without her tools or her toys. She wishes she never saw the high shelf. She wishes she never tried to fix the vase. She wishes she could fix her mom's anger and her own pain. But she can't. She can't fix anything. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, it was very cold and snowing. Mommy gave them warm coats, hats, boots and gloves to wear. She said, "Be careful and have fun, but don't stay out too long." + +Lily and Ben ran outside and made a snowman. They gave him a carrot nose, a scarf and a hat. They were very happy. But then, Ben saw a big hill. He wanted to slide down it on his sled. He said to Lily, "Come on, let's go to the hill. It will be fun." + +Lily was not sure. She said, "But Mommy said not to stay out too long. And the hill looks steep and slippery. Maybe we should go back home soon." + +Ben did not listen. He said, "Don't be scared. It's just a hill. I'll go first and show you how to do it." He took off his gloves and put them in his pocket. He got on his sled and zoomed down the hill. + +Lily watched him go. She was worried. She saw him go very fast and then crash into a tree. He fell off his sled and started to cry. Lily ran to him. She saw that his hands were red and hurt. He had lost his gloves. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was wrong. The hill was too dangerous. And now my hands are cold and sore. Can you help me?" + +Lily felt sorry for him. She took off her gloves and gave them to him. She said, "Here, Ben. Wear my gloves. They will keep your hands warm. And don't worry. I'll help you get back home. Mommy will make you feel better." + +Ben thanked her and put on her gloves. He hugged her and said, "Lily, you are a good sister. You are kind and brave. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you and Mommy. I learned my lesson. Next time, I will be more careful and ask before I do something risky." + +Lily smiled and said, "That's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are okay. Next time, we will play together and have fun safely." + +They held hands and walked back home. Mommy was waiting for them. She saw their faces and knew what had happened. She said, "Lily and Ben, I'm proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today. You learned to ask before you act, to be careful and to share. You are good twins. Come inside and have some hot chocolate. You deserve it." +Lily liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped in the park, she skipped at home.

She went to Anna at recess and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to skip with me?" Anna looked at Lily with big eyes. She shook her head. She said, "No, thank you. I can't skip." + +Lily was surprised. She asked, "Why can't you skip?" Anna pointed to her legs. She said, "I have braces. They help me walk, but they make skipping hard. I fall down a lot when I try to skip." + +Lily felt sorry for Anna. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. Can I help you?" Anna nodded. She said, "Maybe. You can hold my hand and we can walk together. Maybe we can skip a little bit, too." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Okay. Let's try." She took Anna's hand and they walked slowly. Then they tried to skip. It was hard at first, but they got better. Anna laughed for the first time. Lily was happy, too. + +They skipped and walked and skipped and walked. They made an unusual motion, but they did not care. They were having fun. They were friends. Lily was glad she showed Anna how to skip. Anna was glad she met Lily the Skipper. +Jill and Ben are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they find a yellow penny on the ground. Jill says, "Look, a yellow penny! Maybe it is magic!" Ben says, "Maybe it can make us rich!" They pick up the penny and run to the store. + +At the store, they see a lot of toys and candy. They want to buy them with the yellow penny. They go to the man at the counter and give him the penny. The man looks at the penny and laughs. He says, "This is not a real penny. This is a fake penny. Someone painted it yellow. You cannot buy anything with this. Go away!" + +Jill and Ben are sad and angry. They feel like someone joked with them in a bad way. They throw the yellow penny on the floor and run out of the store. They cry and say, "We hate the yellow penny! It is not magic! It is mean!" They do not want to play or joke with each other anymore. They go home and stay in their rooms. The yellow penny is still on the floor of the store. No one wants it. It is lonely and sorry. +Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see many animals on the farm.

The farmer is the owner of the farm. The farmer knows the horse. The farmer knows the horse is hungry. + +"Sorry, kids," the farmer says. "That's Daisy. She loves hay.

You are mean and ugly!" + +Lily shook her head and smiled. + +"No, Tom, the cactus is not bad," Lily said. "It is just different. It has needles to protect itself from animals and people. It is not mean and ugly. It is honest and strong. It does not lie or hide. It shows you what it is." + +Tom looked at the cactus again. He saw that it had bright pink flowers on top. He saw that it was green and tall. He saw that it was honest and strong. + +"Maybe you are right, Lily," Tom said. "Maybe the cactus is not bad. Maybe I was wrong to touch it. I'm sorry, cactus. Can we be friends?" +
