+"Should we try it?" said one friend.
+
+"No" said Mia. "It looks weird. Let's just leave it alone."

+
+Mia just watched. She was too scared to try anything. 
+
+The friends suddenly started to laugh. They said the herb was delicious. Mia still wasn't sure, but the others looked so excited that she decided to pinch off a leaf and give it a try. 
+
+The leaf was surprisingly delicious. From that day on, Mia and her friends would often go to the garden and pinch leaves off the herb to enjoy its delicious taste.

+After they finished cleaning, the older one said, “Are you ready?â€
+
+The little one smiled and replied, “Yes, I’m ready now!â€
+

+
+Everyone agreed and they ran off to play on the swing. Jake had a great time and he knew he would shoot files again next time he was in the park.

+
+But up in the sky an evil crow was watching. The crow saw the little bird and wanted the apple too! He flew after the little bird to try and get the apple. The little bird tried to fly faster but it was too late. The crow beat him to the apple and he flew away with it.
+
+The little bird was so mad! He wanted the apple so badly, but the crow had gotten it first. He started to cry, but then he saw something even better! A big tree full of juicy apples. He flew over to the tree and ate as many apples as he wanted!
+
+The little bird was very happy. He watched the sunset and the stars, content with the juicy apples he'd found. So even though the crow had taken his apple, the little bird was still happy in the end.

+
+Grandma and her grandson continued their walk. Whenever they passed someone in the park, Grandma would whistle a song and it made the grandson wonder what the song was about. 
+
+They stopped to watch the ducks in the pond. Grandma told him that some ducks like to whistle, too. Sure enough, the grandson soon heard a yellow duck whistling and Grandma said, "See! That duck is whistling just like me!"

+
+Sarah smiled, excited to find out what the message was. She couldn't wait for the soup to be finished.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Grace. She had a special friend who was a fridge. The fridge was brown and it had been in her house for a long time.
+
+One day, Grace said to the fridge, "I think you need to be replaced." The fridge said sadly, "Really?".
+
+Grace nodded and said, "Yes, so we can get a new one with more space and cool things". The fridge thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, if it will make you happy, I understand".

+“You may understand what normal and quick mean now, John. But I'm sure there will be plenty more questions for you to understand in the future.†

+Her aunt says, "You're welcome, Sara. Now, let's go swim." She takes Sara to the shallow end of the pool. She helps Sara get in the water. Sara feels the water on her skin. It is cool and wet. She likes it. She starts to splash and kick. She says, "Aunt, look at me. I can swim."
+
+Her aunt says, "You're doing great, Sara. I'm proud of you." She swims with Sara and teaches her some tricks. They have a lot of fun. Sara is happy. She loves to swim with her aunt.
+It was Lily's birthday. She was very happy. She had a big cake with pink icing and candles. She had many presents from her family and friends. She wanted to open them all.
+
+But there was a problem. Her big brother Tom was very naughty. He liked to spoil things for Lily. He was hairy and mean. He took some of Lily's presents and hid them under his bed. He ate some of her cake when she was not looking. He blew out some of her candles before she could make a wish.
+
+Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She said to Tom, "You are a bad brother. You spoil my birthday. I don't like you."
+
+Tom felt sorry. He saw that Lily was very sad. He did not want to make her cry. He said to Lily, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I wanted to have fun, but I was not nice. I love you. You are my sister. I will give you back your presents. I will help you light your candles. I will share your cake. Please don't cry."
+
+Lily stopped crying. She smiled and hugged Tom. She said to Tom, "Thank you, Tom. I'm sorry, too. I love you. You are my brother. You can have fun with me. You can open some of my presents. You can make a wish with me. You can eat some of my cake."
+
+They were happy. They had a good birthday. They learned to be nice to each other.
+Sara liked to play with her doll. She gave her doll a name, Lily, and a dress, pink. She also gave her doll a cord. The cord was long and shiny. Sara said, "This is your hair, Lily. You have pretty hair."
+
+One day, Sara saw something new on her doll. Lily had a bump on her head. Sara touched the bump and felt something hard. She pulled the bump and saw a metal thing. The metal thing was part of the cord. Sara was worried. She said, "Lily, what is this? Did you hurt your head?"
+
+Sara ran to her mom. She showed her mom the doll and the cord. She said, "Mom, look! Lily has a bump and a metal thing. Is she sick? Will she grow more bumps?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Sara. She said, "No, sweetie, Lily is not sick. She is a special doll. The cord and the metal thing are how she talks. When you pull the cord, she says something. Do you want to try?"
+
+Sara nodded and pulled the cord again. She heard Lily say, "I love you, Sara. You are my best friend." Sara smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my best friend. And you have pretty hair."
+Lily wanted to make a paper heart for her mom. She had a red paper and a pencil. But she needed scissors to cut the paper. She searched for scissors in her room, but she could not find them. She searched for scissors in the kitchen, but she could not find them. She searched for scissors in the living room, but she could not find them.
+
+She saw her brother Tom playing with his toys. He had scissors in his hand. Lily asked him, "Can I have the scissors, please? I want to make a paper heart for mom."
+
+Tom said, "No, these are my scissors. Go away, Lily. You are fat and silly."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "That is not nice, Tom. You are mean and selfish. Mom will not like your toys. She will like my paper heart."
+
+Tom did not care. He said, "I don't care. These are my scissors. Go away, Lily. You are fat and silly."
+
+Lily ran away and cried. She did not know what to do. She wanted to make a paper heart for mom.
+
+Mom heard Lily crying. She came and hugged her. She asked her, "What is wrong, Lily? Why are you crying?"
+
+Lily told her, "I want to make a paper heart for you, mom. But I can't find scissors. Tom has scissors, but he won't share. He said I am fat and silly."
+
+Mom said, "Oh, Lily. I am sorry. That is not true. You are not fat and silly. You are beautiful and smart. And you are kind and generous. I love you, Lily."
+
+Mom said, "Let me talk to Tom. Maybe he will change his mind. Maybe he will share his scissors with you."
+
+Mom went to Tom and said, "Tom, I heard what you said to Lily. That was not nice. That was rude and hurtful. Why did you say that?"
+
+Tom said, "Because she wanted my scissors. These are my scissors. I don't want to share."
+
+Mom said, "But scissors are not toys. They are tools. They are for cutting paper, not for playing. And sharing is good. Sharing is caring. Sharing makes others happy. And sharing makes you happy too."
+
+Tom said, "But I don't want to share. I don't want to make Lily happy. She is fat and silly."
+
+Mom said, "Tom, that is not true. Lily is not fat and silly. She is your sister. She is beautiful and smart. And she is kind and generous. She loves you, Tom."
+
+Mom said, "She wanted to make a paper heart for me. She wanted to show me her love. But you did not let her. You did not show me your love. You made me sad, Tom."
+
+Tom felt sorry. He said, "I am sorry, mom. I did not mean to make you sad. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Tom. But you need to say sorry to Lily too. And you need to share your scissors with her. That is the right thing to do."
+
+Tom said, "Okay, mom. I will say sorry to Lily. And I will share my scissors with her. Maybe we can make a paper heart together."
+
+Mom said, "That is a good idea, Tom. That will make me happy. And that will make Lily happy. And that will make you happy too."
+
+Tom went to Lily and said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was mean and selfish. You are not fat and silly. You are my sister. You are beautiful and smart. And you are kind and generous. I love you, Lily."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom. Thank you for saying sorry. And thank you for sharing your scissors with me. Maybe we can make a paper heart together."
+
+Tom said, "Yes, let's make a paper heart together. For mom. To show her our love."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged and went to make a paper heart together. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. She was happy. She loved them. And they loved her.
+Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But there was one thing they were afraid of: the big dog that lived in the house next to the park. The dog was always barking and growling behind the fence. Lila and Ben never went near the fence.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Max. He was very brave and liked to do things that Lila and Ben did not dare to do. He climbed the highest tree, he jumped from the top of the slide and he ran very fast. Lila and Ben watched him and wished they could be like him.
+
+"Hey, do you want to play with me?" Max asked them. "I have a fun game. It's called 'dare'. I dare you to do something, and you have to do it. If you don't, you are a chicken."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They wanted to show Max that they were not chickens. They wanted to be his friends.
+
+"OK, I'll go first," Max said. "I dare you, Lila, to touch the fence where the big dog is."
+
+Lila felt scared. She did not want to touch the fence. She did not want to make the dog angry. She looked at Ben for help, but he looked scared too.
+
+"Come on, Lila, don't be a chicken," Max said. "It's just a fence. The dog can't hurt you."
+
+Lila took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the fence. She reached out her hand and touched the fence. The dog barked louder and louder. Lila felt a shock in her hand. The fence was electric. She screamed and ran back to Ben.
+
+"Are you OK, Lila?" Ben asked. He hugged her and checked her hand. It was red and sore.
+
+"That was not funny, Max," Ben said. "That was mean. You knew the fence was electric. You wanted to hurt Lila."
+
+Max laughed. "It was just a joke. Don't be such a baby. It's only a game."
+
+Lila and Ben did not like Max anymore. They did not want to play with him. They realized that he was not a hero. He was a bully. They decided to stay away from him and the fence.
+
+They learned that being brave does not mean doing things that are dangerous or hurtful. Being brave means being kind and caring for your friends. Being brave means being unique and not following someone who is bad. Lila and Ben were brave in their own way. They were happy to be themselves.
+Sara and Ben were going to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big sandbox. They also liked to see the ducks and the squirrels that lived there.
+
+When they got to the park, Sara and Ben ran to the swings. They took turns pushing each other and laughing. Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy that they were having fun.
+
+After a while, Sara and Ben wanted to try the slides. They walked to the big metal slide that was shaped like a spiral. Sara was nervous. She had never been on such a high slide before. She looked at Ben and said, "Ben, I'm scared. What if I fall?"
+
+Ben hugged Sara and said, "Don't worry, Sara. I'll go with you. We can attach our hands and slide together. It will be fun. Trust me."
+
+Sara nodded and took Ben's hand. They climbed the stairs to the top of the slide. They looked down and saw mom waving at them. They waved back and smiled. Then they attached their hands and slid down the spiral. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They screamed with joy and landed on the soft grass.
+
+They got up and ran to mom. They hugged her and said, "Mom, that was awesome! We attached our hands and slid down the big slide. We were brave!"
+
+Mom kissed them and said, "I'm so proud of you, Sara and Ben. You were brave and you helped each other. You are the best siblings ever. I love you."
+
+Sara and Ben said, "We love you too, mom. Can we go on the slide again?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure, why not? But first, let's have a snack. I brought some cookies and juice for you."
+
+Sara and Ben cheered and followed mom to the bench. They ate their cookies and drank their juice. They felt happy and excited. They couldn't wait to go on the slide again. They loved the park.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They also liked to look at the flowers, the birds and the bugs. Sometimes they would wonder what the bugs were doing or where the birds were going.
+
+"Look, Lily, a yellow bug!" Tom said, pointing at a small beetle on a leaf.
+
+"What is it?" Lily asked, leaning closer.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a sun bug. It is the same color as the sun," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe it likes the sun. Maybe it gets warm and happy from the sun," Lily said.
+
+They watched the yellow bug for a while. It crawled on the leaf and then flew away.
+
+"Bye, sun bug!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They felt hungry. They remembered that their mom had packed a snack for them. They ran to their backpack and opened it. Inside, they found two sandwiches, two apples and two juice boxes.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They ate their snack and drank their juice. They felt full and happy.
+
+"Mom, we saw a yellow bug!" Tom and Lily said, when their mom came to pick them up.
+
+"Really? What kind of bug was it?" their mom asked.
+
+"We don't know. We called it a sun bug. It was very pretty," Tom and Lily said.
+
+"That sounds wonderful. Maybe you can find out more about it at home. You can look at a book or a picture," their mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. We want to learn more about sun bugs," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged their mom and went home. They still wondered about the yellow bug. They wanted to see it again.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and a big smile. Sara took Lily everywhere with her.
+
+One day, Sara and Lily went to the park with Mom. Sara saw a big pile of junk near the trash can. She wanted to see what was in it. Maybe she could find something fun for Lily. She ran to the junk and started to dig.
+
+Mom saw Sara and called her name. "Sara, come back here! That junk is dirty and dangerous. You don't know what's in there. It could hurt you or Lily."
+
+Sara paused. She heard Mom, but she also saw something shiny in the junk. She reached for it. It was a necklace with a heart pendant. Sara thought it was beautiful. She wanted to give it to Lily as a gift. She thought Lily would love it.
+
+She pulled the necklace out of the junk and ran back to Mom. She showed Mom the necklace and said, "Look, Mom, I found a gift for Lily. She is so gifted. She can wear this and look pretty."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Sara. She said, "You are very sweet, Sara, and very gifted too. But you have to be careful with junk. It can have sharp things or germs that can make you sick. Next time, ask me before you touch anything in the trash, okay?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry. I just wanted to make Lily happy."
+
+Mom said, "I know, Sara. And Lily is happy. She loves you very much. And so do I."
+
+Sara smiled and hugged Mom and Lily. She put the necklace around Lily's neck and said, "There, Lily. Now you have a gift from me. You are the best doll ever."
+Lily and Ben are twins who like to play games. They are very competitive and want to win every time. One day, they decide to play hide and seek in their room. Lily is the seeker and Ben is the hider.
+
+Ben looks for a good hiding spot. He sees a big sheet on the bed. He thinks it is a good idea to hide under the sheet. He crawls under the sheet and stays very quiet. He hopes Lily will not find him.
+
+Lily counts to ten and then starts to look for Ben. She looks under the table, behind the chair, in the closet, but she cannot find him. She gets frustrated and starts to yell.
+
+"Ben, where are you? Come out, come out, wherever you are! I want to find you and win the game!"
+
+Ben hears Lily yell and smiles. He thinks he is very clever and that Lily will never find him. He decides to tease her a little. He makes a funny noise under the sheet.
+
+"Boo!"
+
+Lily hears the noise and turns around. She sees the sheet move and realizes Ben is hiding under it. She runs to the bed and pulls the sheet off. She sees Ben and laughs.
+
+"I found you, I found you! You are not so clever after all! I win the game!"
+
+Ben feels silly and embarrassed. He did not expect Lily to find him so easily. He pouts and says.
+
+"No fair, no fair! You cheated! You heard me make the noise!"
+
+Lily shakes her head and says.
+
+"No, I did not cheat. You made the noise and gave yourself away. You should have stayed quiet. That is the rule of the game."
+
+Ben and Lily argue for a while. They both want to be right and win the game. They forget to have fun and enjoy the game. They need to learn to be less competitive and more friendly. Maybe next time they will play a different game that they both like.
+Tom and Sam were twins. They liked to play with their toys, but they did not like to share. One day, they found a big ball in the park. It was red and shiny and bounced very high. They both wanted the ball, but they did not know who saw it first.
+
+"I saw it first!" Tom said.
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Sam said.
+
+They started to pull the ball from each other. They pulled and pulled and pulled. The ball was very strong, but they were stronger. They pulled so hard that the ball split in two. They each got half of the ball, but they were not happy.
+
+"This is not fair!" Tom said. "Your half is bigger than mine!"
+
+"No, it is not!" Sam said. "Your half is rounder than mine!"
+
+They started to argue again. They did not notice a little girl who came to the park. She saw the two halves of the ball and smiled. She picked up one half and threw it in the air. It flew like a frisbee and landed on a tree. She picked up the other half and kicked it like a soccer ball. It rolled on the grass and hit a fence.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" she said. "Thank you for the ball!"
+
+Tom and Sam stopped arguing and looked at the girl. They felt silly and sad. They had a whole ball, but they split it. They had a question, but they did not ask. They wanted to be fair, but they were not. They learned a lesson, but they lost a ball.
+Ben was a boy who liked to fix things. He had a lot of tools and toys that he could fix. He was very good at fixing things, but he was not humble. He always bragged to his friends and family how he could fix anything. He thought he was better than everyone else.
+
+One day, he saw a big truck parked outside his house. It had a sign that said "Do not touch". Ben was curious and wanted to fix the truck. He ignored the sign and climbed inside. He saw a lot of buttons and wires and levers. He started to pull and twist and push them. He thought he was making the truck better.
+
+But he was not. He was making the truck worse. He broke the engine and the brakes and the lights. He also set off the alarm. The truck was not a normal truck. It was a police truck. It had a lot of bad people inside. They were in jail. They were going to court. But when Ben broke the truck, the jail doors opened. The bad people ran away.
+
+The police came and saw what Ben had done. They were very angry. They caught the bad people again, but they also took Ben. They said he had to go to jail too. He had helped the bad people escape. He had caused a lot of trouble. He had broken the law.
+
+Ben was very scared and sad. He wished he had not touched the truck. He wished he had been humble and listened to the sign. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that fixing things is not always good. He learned that he should respect other people's things. He learned that he should be careful and honest. He learned that being humble is better than being proud.
+Tim and Lily wanted to play in the pool. They put on their swimsuits and ran outside. But when they got to the pool, they saw a big sign that said "No Swimming". Tim and Lily were sad and angry.
+
+"Why can't we swim?" Tim asked. "It's hot and we want to have fun."
+
+"Maybe the pool is dirty or broken," Lily said. "Let's ask Mom."
+
+They ran back to the house and found Mom in the kitchen. They told her about the sign and begged her to let them swim.
+
+"Sorry, kids, but the sign is there for a reason," Mom said. "The pool is not safe right now. There's a leak and the water is low. The pool man is coming tomorrow to fix it. You can swim then."
+
+"But we want to swim now!" Tim and Lily whined. "Please, Mom, please!"
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, it's too dangerous. You could get hurt or sick. Why don't you play with your toys or read a book instead?"
+
+Tim and Lily did not listen to Mom. They were persistent. They waited until Mom was busy on the phone and sneaked out of the house. They ran to the pool and climbed over the fence. They saw the water was shallow and dirty, but they did not care. They jumped in and splashed each other.
+
+"Yay, we're swimming!" Tim shouted.
+
+"This is fun!" Lily agreed.
+
+They did not see the sharp metal pipe sticking out of the pool wall. They did not hear the hissing sound of the air escaping. They did not feel the water getting lower and lower.
+
+Suddenly, the pipe burst and a jet of water sprayed out. It hit Tim in the face and knocked him down. He screamed and cried. He had a big cut on his cheek and blood in his eye. Lily saw him and got scared. She tried to help him, but she slipped and fell. She hit her head on the pool floor and blacked out.
+
+Mom heard the noise and ran outside. She saw Tim and Lily in the pool. She was shocked and terrified. She jumped over the fence and ran to them. She knelt by the pool and pulled them out. She called for help and tried to stop the bleeding.
+
+But it was too late. Tim and Lily were badly hurt. They had to go to the hospital. They had to stay there for a long time. They had to get stitches and medicine. They had to miss school and their friends. They had to learn a hard lesson.
+
+They should have listened to Mom.
+Lily was playing with her ball in the garden. She liked to bounce it and catch it and roll it. She saw a big hole in the wall. It was a drain. She wondered what was inside.
+
+She threw her ball into the drain. She wanted to see if it would come back. But it did not. It was gone. Lily was sad. She ran to the drain and looked inside. It was dark and wet and dirty. She could not see her ball. She was scared.
+
+She began to weep. She wanted her ball back. She cried and cried. She did not hear her mom come out of the house. Her mom saw her and asked, "What is wrong, Lily?"
+
+Lily pointed to the drain and said, "Ball. Gone. Scared."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We will get your ball back. It is not scary. It is just a drain. Come, let's get a flashlight and a stick and see if we can find it."
+
+Lily stopped weeping and nodded. She took her mom's hand and went to get the flashlight and the stick. She hoped they could find her ball. She liked her ball. She did not like the drain.
+Timmy was a little mouse who liked to drink milk. He lived in a big house with his family and many other mice. Sometimes, he would sneak into the kitchen at night and look for a bowl of milk to drink.
+
+One night, he found a bowl of milk on the table. He climbed up a chair and reached for the bowl. He smelled the milk and it was delicious. He licked his lips and started to drink.
+
+"Hello, little mouse," said a voice behind him. Timmy turned around and saw a big cat. The cat had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. He looked hungry and angry. Timmy was scared and wanted to run away.
+
+"Please don't eat me, Mr. Cat," Timmy said. "I just wanted some milk. It was delicious."
+
+"Well, I want some milk too," the cat said. "And I want some mouse. You look delicious."
+
+The cat jumped on the table and chased Timmy. Timmy ran as fast as he could. He dodged the cat's paws and ran to the edge of the table. He saw a window and jumped out. He landed on a tree branch and climbed down.
+
+He ran back to his family and told them what happened. They hugged him and said he was brave. They gave him some cheese and water. Timmy was happy and safe. He learned a lesson. He decided not to drink milk from the table again. He drank water from the sink instead. It was not as delicious, but it was safer.
+Tom is a big boy who likes to play with his cars and trucks. He has a lot of fun making them zoom and crash on the floor. But today, he is not feeling well. He has a sore throat and a fever. His mom says he has to take a pill to make him better.
+
+Tom does not like pills. They are hard and bitter and make him gag. He does not want to swallow them. He says, "No, no, no! I don't want a pill!"
+
+His mom says, "Tom, you have to take your pill. It will help you get rid of the germs that make you sick. It's not that big. Look, I'll show you."
+
+She takes a small scale and puts the pill on one side. Then she takes a feather and puts it on the other side. The scale does not move. The pill and the feather weigh the same.
+
+"See, Tom? The pill is as light as a feather. It won't hurt you. It will just slide down your throat. Come on, be a brave boy and open your mouth."
+
+Tom looks at the scale and the pill and the feather. He thinks his mom is silly. How can a pill and a feather weigh the same? They are not the same at all. He does not believe her. He shakes his head and says, "No, no, no! I don't want a pill!"
+
+His mom sighs and says, "Tom, please. You have to take your pill. How about this? If you take your pill, I'll let you play with the scale and the feather. You can weigh anything you want. Wouldn't that be fun?"
+
+Tom thinks about it. He likes to play with new things. He likes to see what weighs more and what weighs less. He likes to make the scale go up and down. He decides to try the pill. He opens his mouth and his mom puts the pill in. He drinks some water and swallows the pill. It is not so bad. He feels proud of himself.
+
+His mom smiles and says, "Good job, Tom! You did it! You took your pill. I'm so proud of you. Now you can play with the scale and the feather. But first, let me give you a hug and a kiss. You are such a good boy."
+
+Tom hugs and kisses his mom. He feels happy. He says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can I play with the scale and the feather now?"
+
+His mom says, "Yes, you can. But remember, don't weigh anything too heavy or too fragile. And don't put anything in your mouth that is not food. OK?"
+
+Tom says, "OK, mom. I will be careful. I want to weigh my cars and trucks. And maybe my teddy bear. And maybe you. You are the best mom in the world."
+
+His mom laughs and says, "You are the best son in the world. Now go and have fun. And I hope you feel better soon."
+
+Tom runs to his room with the scale and the feather. He starts to weigh his toys and his mom. He has a lot of fun. He forgets about his sore throat and his fever. He thinks pills are not so bad after all. He thinks his mom is silly, but he loves her. He thinks he is a big boy who can do anything. He thinks he is happy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a hose that sprays water. They also have a big box of clothes. They like to wear different clothes and pretend to be someone else.
+
+One day, Sara finds a dress in the box. It is pink and shiny. It has many beads and flowers. Sara thinks it is very pretty. She wants to wear it. She puts it on and looks at herself in the mirror. She feels like a princess.
+
+"Look, Ben, look at me!" she says. "I am a princess. Do you like my dress?"
+
+Ben looks at Sara. He sees the dress. He thinks it is very expensive. He remembers that it belongs to their mom. Their mom only wears it for special occasions. She told them not to touch it.
+
+"Uh-oh, Sara, that is mom's dress!" he says. "You should not wear it. It is expensive. You might get it dirty or tear it. Mom will be angry."
+
+Sara does not listen to Ben. She likes the dress too much. She wants to play with it. She runs outside with the dress. She sees the hose. She has an idea. She thinks it will be fun to spray water on the dress. She thinks it will make it sparkle more.
+
+"Come on, Ben, come and play with me!" she says. "Let's spray water on the dress. It will be fun."
+
+Ben follows Sara outside. He sees her holding the hose. He feels scared. He knows that water will ruin the dress. He tries to stop her.
+
+"No, Sara, no, don't do that!" he says. "You will spoil the dress. It will get wet and stained. Mom will be very angry. Please, take it off. Put it back in the box."
+
+But Sara does not listen to Ben. She turns on the hose. She sprays water on the dress. She laughs and twirls. She thinks it is fun. She does not see the dress getting wet and stained. She does not hear Ben shouting. She does not notice mom coming home. She only sees the water and the dress.
+
+The end.
+Sam and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," Sam said. He was brave and curious.
+
+"No, don't go," Mia said. She was anxious and scared. "It might be dangerous. There could be snakes or spiders or monsters."
+
+Sam did not listen to Mia. He wanted to see the hole. He ran to the edge and looked down. He saw something shiny and round. He reached out his hand to grab it.
+
+"Sam, come back!" Mia shouted. She ran after him. She wanted to help him.
+
+But it was too late. Sam slipped and fell into the hole. He screamed and dropped his toy. Mia heard a loud thud and then silence.
+
+She was very sad and afraid. She did not know what to do. She wished she had stopped Sam. She wished he had trusted her. She wished they had stayed away from the hole.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was the big, soft pillow. They liked to throw it in the air and catch it, or use it as a seat, or pretend it was a cloud.
+
+One day, they had a brilliant idea. They decided to make a pillow fort. They took all the pillows from their beds and the couch and piled them up in a corner. They made a door and a roof and a window. They crawled inside and felt very cozy and happy.
+
+"Look at our fort!" Lily said. "It's the best fort ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben agreed. "We are the kings of the fort!"
+
+They played in their fort for a long time. They read books, sang songs, and told stories. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Their big brother Tom came into their room. He saw their fort and he did not like it. He was mean and angry. He wanted to ruin their fort.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" he shouted. "This is my room too! You can't take all the pillows!"
+
+He grabbed the big, soft pillow that Lily and Ben loved. He lifted it high and he dropped it on their fort. The fort collapsed and the pillows fell everywhere. Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They cried out loud.
+
+"Tom, stop it!" Lily said. "That's not nice! That's our fort!"
+
+"Too bad!" Tom said. "It's a stupid fort! You are stupid too!"
+
+He laughed and ran away. He did not care about their feelings.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other. They felt very hurt and angry. They did not know what to do. They wanted their fort back. They wanted their big, soft pillow back. They wanted Tom to say sorry. They wished he was not so mean. They wished he was their friend.
+Tommy loved his kitten, Fluffy. He liked to play with her, feed her, and cuddle her. But Fluffy was a troubled kitten. She was always running away from Tommy and hiding under the bed, or in the closet, or behind the sofa. Tommy did not know why Fluffy was so scared of him. He wanted to be her friend.
+
+One day, Tommy decided to follow Fluffy when she ran away. He saw her go into the kitchen and jump on the counter. There was a big cake on the counter. It was Tommy's birthday cake. His mom had made it for him and told him not to touch it until the party. Fluffy did not listen to mom. She licked the cake with her tongue and made a big mess.
+
+"Fluffy, no!" Tommy shouted. He ran into the kitchen and tried to grab Fluffy. But Fluffy was faster. She jumped off the counter and ran out of the kitchen. Tommy chased her, but he slipped on the cake and fell on the floor. He hurt his knee and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came into the kitchen. She saw the cake, the kitten, and the boy. She was very angry. She picked up Fluffy and put her in a cage. She said, "Fluffy, you are a bad kitten. You ruined Tommy's cake. You have to stay in the cage until you learn to behave." She said to Tommy, "Tommy, I'm sorry about your cake. And your knee. Are you okay?"
+
+Tommy nodded, but he felt sad. He did not want Fluffy to be in the cage. He did not want Fluffy to be a bad kitten. He wanted Fluffy to be a good kitten. He wanted Fluffy to love him. He said to mom, "Mom, can I talk to Fluffy? Maybe I can make her happy."
+
+Mom sighed, but she said, "Okay, Tommy. You can talk to Fluffy. But be careful. She might scratch you or bite you. She is a troubled kitten. She needs a lot of patience and love."
+
+Tommy went to the cage and looked at Fluffy. Fluffy looked at Tommy and meowed softly. Tommy said, "Fluffy, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you were hungry. But you can't eat my cake. That's not nice. You have to share. And you can't run away from me. That's not fun. You have to play with me. I love you, Fluffy. Do you love me?"
+
+Fluffy looked at Tommy and meowed louder. She rubbed her head against the bars of the cage. She licked Tommy's finger. She purred. Tommy smiled. He said, "Fluffy, I think you love me too. You are a good kitten. Can you come out of the cage and be my friend?"
+
+Mom saw Tommy and Fluffy and smiled too. She said, "Tommy, you are a good boy. You are very kind and gentle. I think Fluffy likes you too. She is a good kitten. She just needs some time and trust. Maybe we can let her out of the cage and give her another chance. But first, we have to clean up the cake and make a new one. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Tommy nodded. He said, "Yes, mom. I want to help you. And I want to help Fluffy. Can she help us too?"
+
+Mom laughed. She said, "Sure, Tommy. Fluffy can help us too. But only if she promises not to eat the cake again."
+
+Tommy opened the cage and took out Fluffy. He hugged her and said, "Fluffy, do you promise not to eat the cake again?"
+
+Fluffy meowed and nodded. She hugged Tommy back and said, "Yes, Tommy. I promise not to eat the cake again. I only want to eat your love."
+
+Tommy, Fluffy, and mom went to the kitchen and cleaned up the cake. Then they made a new one. It was a beautiful cake. It had candles and sprinkles and a picture of Tommy and Fluffy on it. Tommy was very happy. He said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Fluffy. You are the best mom and the best kitten in the world. I love you both very much."
+
+Mom and Fluffy said, "We love you too, Tommy. Happy birthday."
+
+They hugged and kissed and sang and ate the cake. It was the best birthday ever.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new path in the park. The path is brown and has stones on it.
+
+"Let's go on the path!" Ben says. He steps on the path and walks fast.
+
+"Wait for me!" Anna says. She steps on the path too, but she is not fast. She trips on a stone and falls down. She hurts her knee and cries.
+
+"Anna, are you okay?" Ben says. He runs back to Anna and helps her up.
+
+"I'm sad," Anna says. She shows Ben her knee. It has blood on it.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. He hugs Anna and gives her a tissue. "Let's go to the nurse. She will make your knee better."
+
+"Okay," Anna says. She smiles a little. She holds Ben's hand and they walk to the nurse. They are still friends.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play together and share their toys. But today was a special day. It was their birthday. They had a big cake with candles and balloons. They also had many gifts from their family and friends.
+
+Lily and Ben opened their gifts one by one. They got books, puzzles, dolls, cars, and more. They thanked everyone and smiled. But there was one gift that looked different. It was a small box wrapped in brown paper. There was no card or tag on it.
+
+"Who is this from?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a surprise." Ben said.
+
+They opened the box together. Inside was a lemon. A big, yellow lemon.
+
+"A lemon?" Lily said. "Why did someone give us a lemon?"
+
+"Maybe it's a joke." Ben said. "Or maybe they wanted us to make lemonade."
+
+They smelled the lemon. It smelled fresh and tangy. They decided to taste it. They each took a small bite.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. "This is sour!"
+
+"Ouch!" Ben said. "This hurts my tongue!"
+
+They spit out the lemon and made a funny face. They did not like the lemon at all. They wondered who gave them such a bad gift.
+
+"Maybe it was a mistake." Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe it was a lesson." Ben said.
+
+"A lesson? What lesson?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe the lesson is to be grateful for what we have." Ben said. "We have so many nice gifts and a happy birthday. We don't need a lemon to make us happy."
+
+Lily nodded. She agreed with Ben. They hugged each other and put the lemon aside. They decided to forget about the sour gift and enjoy the sweet cake. They had a wonderful birthday. And they never found out who gave them the lemon.
+Anna was playing with her toy bear in her room. She loved her toy bear very much. She liked to rub his fur and hug him tight. She named him Bobby.
+
+One day, her mom came into her room with a big bag. She said, "Anna, I have a surprise for you. I got you some new toys from the store. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Anna was curious and excited. She said, "Yes, please, mom. What are they?"
+
+Her mom opened the bag and took out some unknown toys. There was a doll, a puzzle, a car, and a ball. Anna looked at them and smiled. She said, "Wow, mom, they are so nice. Thank you."
+
+Her mom said, "You're welcome, sweetie. You can play with them now. But remember to share them with your friends when they come over, okay?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will share them."
+
+Her mom left the room and Anna started to play with her new toys. She liked them all, but she still loved her toy bear the most. She put him on her bed and said, "Don't worry, Bobby. You are still my favorite. I will always rub you and hug you."
+
+But then, she heard a knock on the door. It was her friend Lily. She came to play with Anna. She said, "Hi, Anna. Can I come in?"
+
+Anna said, "Hi, Lily. Yes, you can come in. I have some new toys to show you. Do you want to play with them?"
+
+Lily said, "Sure, I do. What are they?"
+
+Anna showed her the new toys and said, "They are from my mom. She got them for me today. They are very nice. You can play with any of them."
+
+Lily looked at the new toys and said, "Wow, they are very nice. Can I play with the doll?"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, you can. Here you go."
+
+Lily took the doll and said, "Thank you. She is very pretty. What is her name?"
+
+Anna said, "I don't know. I haven't named her yet. Do you have a name for her?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "How about Daisy? She looks like a Daisy to me."
+
+Anna said, "That's a good name. I like it. You can call her Daisy."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you. I like Daisy. She is my new friend."
+
+Anna was happy that Lily liked the doll. She said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like her. She is your new friend."
+
+Then, Lily saw the toy bear on the bed. She said, "Who is that? Is that your toy bear?"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, that is my toy bear. His name is Bobby. He is my old friend. I love him very much."
+
+Lily said, "He is very cute. Can I play with him too?"
+
+Anna hesitated. She didn't want to share her toy bear with anyone. He was special to her. She said, "No, you can't. He is mine. You can play with the other toys, but not with him."
+
+Lily was surprised and sad. She said, "But why not? You said I can play with any of them. He is a toy too. Don't you want to share him with me?"
+
+Anna said, "No, I don't. He is not a toy. He is my friend. And he is only my friend. You have Daisy. You don't need him."
+
+Lily felt hurt and angry. She said, "That's not fair. You are being selfish. You are not a good friend. I don't want to play with you anymore. I'm going home."
+
+She put down the doll and ran out of the room. She slammed the door behind her.
+
+Anna was shocked and confused. She didn't understand why Lily was so mad. She said, "Lily, wait. Come back. Don't go."
+
+But Lily didn't listen. She was gone.
+
+Anna felt lonely and sad. She looked at her new toys and her toy bear. She realized that she had made a mistake. She had been selfish and rude. She had hurt her friend's feelings. She had lost her friend.
+
+She wished she had shared her toy bear with Lily. She wished she had been a good friend. She wished Lily would come back.
+
+She picked up her toy bear and said, "I'm sorry, Bobby. I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should have shared you with Lily. You are my friend, but you can be her friend too. You are a toy, but you are also more than a toy. You are a gift
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play golf. Golf is a game with a stick and a ball. They hit the ball with the stick and try to put it in a hole.
+
+One day, Tom and Jen want to play golf in a new place. They ask their moms to take them. Their moms say yes. They travel in a car to the new place. It is far away. They see many things on the way. They see trees, cows, bridges, and trucks.
+
+When they get to the new place, they are happy. They see a big field with many holes. They get their sticks and balls and start to play. They have fun. They hit the ball hard and run after it. They laugh and talk.
+
+But the new place is tough. The holes are very small and far. The field has hills and sand and water. Sometimes the ball goes in the wrong place. Sometimes they lose the ball. Sometimes they get tired.
+
+Tom and Jen do not give up. They help each other. They say nice things. They try their best. They finish the game. They are proud. They hug their moms and thank them. They travel back home. They are still friends. They still like golf.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they found a whistle in their toy box. It was shiny and made a loud noise when they blew it.
+
+"Let's have a whistle contest!" said Tim. "Whoever can whistle the longest wins!"
+
+"OK!" said Kim. "But what is the prize?"
+
+Tim thought for a moment. He saw a big cookie on the kitchen table. It looked yummy and he wanted to eat it. "The prize is the cookie!" he said.
+
+Kim nodded. She also wanted to eat the cookie. She loved cookies. "Let's go outside and start the contest!" she said.
+
+They ran outside and stood on the grass. They each took a deep breath and put the whistle in their mouth. They blew as hard as they could. The whistle made a loud noise that echoed in the air. They tried to keep whistling, but it was hard. Their cheeks hurt and their breath ran out.
+
+Tim saw that Kim was still whistling. He wanted to win, so he blew harder. He did not notice that a bird was flying above him. The bird saw the shiny whistle and thought it was a worm. It swooped down and snatched the whistle from Tim's mouth.
+
+Tim stopped whistling and gasped. He looked up and saw the bird flying away with his whistle. He felt sad and angry. He had lost the contest and the whistle.
+
+Kim stopped whistling and smiled. She had won the contest and the cookie. She ran to the kitchen and grabbed the cookie. She took a big bite and said, "Mmm, this is the best cookie ever!"
+
+She did not notice that Tim was behind her. He was still sad and angry. He wanted to eat the cookie too. He reached out and tried to take the cookie from Kim's hand.
+
+Kim saw him and pulled the cookie away. She said, "No, this is my cookie! I won the contest!"
+
+They started to fight over the cookie. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not notice that their mom was watching them. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, you two! You are being very naughty! You have to share the cookie and the whistle!"
+
+She took the cookie and the whistle from them. She broke the cookie in half and gave each of them a piece. She said, "Here, you can each have some cookie. But you have to say sorry to each other and be nice."
+
+She also gave them back the whistle. She said, "And you can each have a turn with the whistle. But you have to be careful and not blow it too loud. You might scare the birds or the neighbors."
+
+Tim and Kim looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Tim. Sorry, Kim."
+
+They hugged each other and ate their cookie. They also took turns with the whistle. They blew it softly and gently. They made nice music with it. They had fun and played nicely. They learned to be less competitive and more cooperative. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They used a big cardboard box as their ship and a map they drew with crayons.
+
+"Ahoy, matey! Let's sail to the island of gold!" Ben said, holding a paper tube as a telescope.
+
+"Arrr, yes, captain! But watch out for the sea monster!" Lily said, pointing to the clothesline where their mom hung the laundry.
+
+They steered their ship towards the clothesline, dodging the towels and sheets that waved in the wind. They thought they were very brave and clever.
+
+But then, something appeared from behind the laundry. It was a big, furry, growling thing. It had sharp teeth and claws and a long tail. It looked very angry and hungry.
+
+"Roar!" It said, jumping towards the box.
+
+Lily and Ben screamed and ran away. They dropped their map and telescope and hid behind the fence.
+
+"What was that?" Lily asked, shaking.
+
+"I don't know. It looked like a monster!" Ben said, peeking over the fence.
+
+They heard the monster tearing apart their ship and their treasure. They felt very sad and scared.
+
+But then, they heard another voice. It was their mom.
+
+"Rex, stop that! Bad dog! You're ruining the kids' game!" She said, grabbing the monster by the collar.
+
+Lily and Ben looked again. The monster was not a monster. It was their dog, Rex. He had escaped from his leash and found their box. He thought it was a toy and wanted to play.
+
+"Mom, Rex is a monster!" Lily said, crying.
+
+"No, he's not. He's just a naughty dog. He didn't mean to scare you. He was trying to be helpful and join your game." Mom said, hugging them.
+
+"Really?" Ben asked, wiping his tears.
+
+"Really. He loves you very much. He just needs to learn some manners." Mom said, smiling.
+
+She took Rex inside and gave him a treat. She also gave Lily and Ben some cookies and milk. She helped them fix their ship and their map. She told them they were very creative and adventurous.
+
+Lily and Ben felt better. They thanked their mom and hugged Rex. They decided to forgive him and let him be their pirate pet. They went back to their game and had more fun. They learned that sometimes things are not what they seem, and that being helpful can mean different things.
+Lily and Ben were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Lily had a big shield made of cardboard and Ben had a long stick for a sword. They pretended to fight the dragon, which was a big toy with green scales and red eyes.
+
+But then Ben wanted to be the dragon and Lily wanted to be the knight. They disagreed and started to argue. Ben said it was his turn to be the dragon and Lily said she was the knight first. They both wanted to have the shield and the sword.
+
+They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. The shield tore and the stick broke. The dragon toy fell on the ground and its eyes popped out. Lily and Ben stopped fighting and looked at the mess. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share the shield and the sword and take turns being the knight and the dragon. They fixed the shield with tape and the stick with glue. They found new eyes for the dragon from a box of buttons. They played nicely and had fun.
+
+They learned that it was not fair to fight over toys and that it was better to agree and share. They were happy and so was the dragon.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. But Ben falls down and hurts his knee. He cries and Sara runs to him.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Sara asks. She sees blood on his knee and feels scared.
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, it hurts a lot. I need a bandage."
+
+Sara remembers that her mom has a bandage in her bag. She runs to her mom and says, "Mom, Ben needs a bandage. He hurt his knee."
+
+Her mom nods and follows Sara to Ben. She takes out a bandage and puts it on Ben's knee. She kisses him and says, "There, all better. You are very brave, Ben."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend."
+
+Sara hugs Ben and says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are my best friend."
+
+They go back to playing in the park. They are happy and have fun. They know that a bandage is important when you are hurt. They also know that a friend is important when you are sad. They shrug when they see a big dog. They are not afraid of the dog. They are brave and strong. They are Sara and Ben.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with gears. They have many gears of different colors and sizes. They make cars, robots, and towers with gears.
+
+One day, they decide to make a big gear cake. They use all their gears and put them on a big plate. They pretend the plate is a cake and the gears are candles. They sing happy birthday to their cake.
+
+"Can I have a piece of your cake?" Ben asks Anna.
+
+"Sure, you can have this piece." Anna says and gives him a yellow gear.
+
+"Thank you, Anna. You are very gifted. You make the best gear cake ever." Ben says and smiles.
+
+"You are welcome, Ben. You are very gifted too. You help me make the cake." Anna says and smiles back.
+
+They eat their gear cake and have fun. Then they have an idea.
+
+"Let's marry our gears!" Anna says.
+
+"Okay, let's do it!" Ben says.
+
+They take two gears and put them together. They say "I do" and kiss their gears. They do the same with all their gears. They make many gear couples.
+
+They are very happy. They have a gear wedding. They dance and laugh with their gears. They are the best friends ever.
+Lily and Max were playing with their toy planes in the garden. They made them soar in the air and pretended they were pilots. They liked to make zooming and crashing noises with their mouths.
+
+Suddenly, they felt the ground shake and heard a loud rumble. It was an earthquake! They were scared and dropped their planes. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch.
+
+"Mom, mom, what's happening?" they cried.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves, it's just an earthquake. It means the earth is moving a little bit. It will stop soon."
+
+She took them inside the house and gave them some cookies and milk. She told them to stay calm and wait for the earthquake to end.
+
+After a few minutes, the shaking stopped and everything was quiet again. Lily and Max felt better and wanted to go back to their planes.
+
+"Can we play outside again, mom?" they asked.
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can, but be careful. Sometimes there are smaller shakes after a big one. They are called aftershocks. If you feel them, come back inside right away."
+
+Lily and Max thanked their mom and ran to the garden. They picked up their planes and checked if they were broken. They were not. They were happy and resumed their game.
+
+They made their planes soar in the air again and pretended they were flying to a fancy place. They imagined they were wearing fancy clothes and eating fancy food. They had fun and forgot about the earthquake.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and learn together. They want to go to the festival with their moms and dads. The festival has balloons, music, and ice cream.
+
+But Lily and Ben have to study first. They have to learn how to write their names and count to ten. Their teacher gives them a book and a pencil. They sit at a table and look at the book.
+
+Lily says, "This is hard. I want to go to the festival now."
+
+Ben says, "Me too. But we have to study first. Then we can have fun."
+
+Lily says, "But I don't like to study. I like to play."
+
+Ben says, "I know. But studying is good for us. It helps us to know things. And we can play later."
+
+Lily says, "Okay. I will try. But you have to help me."
+
+Ben says, "Okay. I will help you. And you can help me."
+
+They help each other to write their names and count to ten. They look at the book and say the words. They use the pencil to draw the letters and the numbers. They work hard and have fun.
+
+Soon, they are done. They show their teacher their work. Their teacher smiles and says, "Good job, Lily and Ben. You studied well. You are ready to go to the festival."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They hug their teacher and say, "Thank you, teacher. We are ready to go to the festival."
+
+They run to their moms and dads. They hold their hands and go to the festival. They see the balloons, the music, and the ice cream. They play and have fun. They are glad they studied first.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Some are big and some are small. Some are red and some are blue.
+
+One day, Tim and Sam decide to make a road with their cars and trucks. They use books and blocks and pillows to make the road. They make hills and bridges and tunnels. They say, "This is our road. We work hard to make it. We are tough drivers."
+
+They take turns to drive their cars and trucks on the road. They make noises like vroom and beep and honk. They have fun. But then, Tim sees a big truck that Sam has. It is bigger than his truck. It is shiny and new. Tim wants to play with it.
+
+He says to Sam, "Can I play with your big truck? It is so cool. Please, Sam, please."
+
+Sam says, "No, Tim. This is my big truck. You have your own truck. Go play with it. This is mine."
+
+Tim feels angry. He thinks, "Sam is not nice. He does not share. I want his big truck. I will take it when he is not looking."
+
+He waits for Sam to look away. Then, he grabs the big truck and runs away. He says, "Ha ha, I have your big truck now. It is mine."
+
+Sam sees Tim and shouts, "Hey, Tim, give me back my big truck. That is not fair. You are a bad brother."
+
+He runs after Tim. He tries to catch him. But Tim is fast. He runs to the other side of the room. He drives the big truck on the road. He says, "This is my big truck. It is the best. I will make a big wreck with it."
+
+He drives the big truck fast and hard. He hits the books and blocks and pillows. He knocks them down. He makes a big mess. He laughs and says, "Look at me. I am the toughest driver. I make a big wreck."
+
+But then, he does not see a hill. He drives the big truck over the hill. He loses control. The big truck flies in the air. It lands on the floor. It breaks into pieces. Tim is shocked. He says, "Oh no, oh no. What have I done? I broke the big truck. I broke Sam's big truck. He will be so mad at me."
+
+He looks up and sees Sam. Sam is standing over him. He is angry and sad. He says, "Tim, you are a bad brother. You took my big truck. You broke it. You ruined our road. You are not tough. You are mean."
+
+He picks up the pieces of his big truck. He says, "This was my favorite truck. You broke it. You are not my friend. Go away."
+
+He walks away. He does not talk to Tim. He does not play with him. He is mad at him.
+
+Tim feels sorry. He says, "Sam, I am sorry. I was wrong. I should not have taken your big truck. I should not have broken it. I should not have made a big wreck. I am sorry. Please, Sam, please. Can we be friends again?"
+
+But Sam does not answer. He does not look at Tim. He does not forgive him.
+
+Tim cries. He says, "I am sorry, Sam. I am sorry."
+Lily liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She read books about animals, princesses, and pirates. She read books every day.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new book in the store. It was a book about engines. Lily loved engines. She wanted to read the book. She asked her mom to buy the book for her.
+
+But her mom said no. She said Lily had too many books already. She said Lily was spoiled. She said Lily had to share her books with other kids. Lily was angry. She cried and screamed. She did not want to share her books. She wanted the new book.
+
+Lily ran away from her mom. She grabbed the book from the shelf. She hid behind a big chair. She opened the book. She tried to read the book. But the book had hard words. Lily did not know the hard words. She could not read the book. She felt sad.
+
+Her mom found her behind the chair. She saw the book in Lily's hands. She was not happy. She took the book from Lily. She said Lily was naughty. She said Lily had to say sorry. She said Lily had to go home. Lily did not want to go home. She wanted the book. But she knew she was wrong. She said sorry to her mom. She said sorry to the store. She gave back the book. She went home with her mom.
+
+At home, Lily looked at her books. She saw many books she liked. She saw books she could read. She felt better. She picked a book. She asked her mom to read with her. Her mom smiled. She hugged Lily. She said Lily was good. She said Lily was not spoiled. She said Lily was smart. She read the book with Lily. Lily was happy. She loved to read books.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They were very lively. They saw a big tree with many fruits. They wanted to pick some fruits and eat them.
+
+"Look, Tom, there are red fruits and yellow fruits and green fruits. They look yummy. Can we have some?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe they belong to someone. Maybe they are not good for us. We should ask Mom first," Tom said.
+
+But Lily was too hungry and curious. She climbed the tree and reached for a red fruit. She pulled it hard and it came off. She took a bite and smiled. "Mmm, this is sweet and juicy. Try it, Tom, it's good," she said.
+
+Tom climbed the tree too and picked a yellow fruit. He bit into it and made a face. "Yuck, this is sour and bitter. I don't like it," he said.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. "Hey, you kids, get off my tree! Those are my fruits, not yours. How dare you steal them? I'll teach you a lesson. Wait till I get my whip!" It was the farmer who owned the tree. He was angry and scary.
+
+Lily and Tom were afraid. They dropped the fruits and jumped off the tree. They ran as fast as they could. They prayed that the farmer would not catch them. They ran all the way home and told Mom what happened.
+
+Mom was not happy. She scolded them for being naughty and greedy. She said they should not take things that are not theirs. She said they should say sorry to the farmer and give him some of their toys. She said they should be more careful and listen to Tom next time.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They nodded and hugged Mom. They learned their lesson. They hoped the farmer would forgive them. They hoped he would not use his whip. They hoped they would never see him again.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a stream of water that was slow and clear. They wanted to see what was in it.
+
+They went to the stream and looked. They saw some fish and some rocks and some leaves. They thought it was pretty. They wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can we put our feet in the water?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is cold. Maybe it is dirty. Maybe Mom will be mad," Ben said.
+
+They looked at the water again. They realized it was not cold. They realized it was not dirty. They realized Mom would not be mad. They realized they wanted to have fun.
+
+They took off their shoes and socks. They rolled up their pants. They put their feet in the water. They felt the water tickle their toes. They laughed and splashed and played. They were happy. They liked the stream.
+Lila was a loyal girl who loved her nation. Her nation was a big land with many people and animals. She liked to learn about her nation's history and songs. She also liked to rock on her chair and listen to stories from her grandpa.
+
+One day, her grandpa told her a story about a brave man who fought for their nation. His name was Rock. He was strong and smart and kind. He had a big sword and a shiny shield. He led many soldiers to protect their nation from bad people who wanted to take their land and hurt them.
+
+Rock and his soldiers fought hard and long. They faced many dangers and troubles. But they never gave up. They trusted each other and their nation. They sang their nation's song to keep their spirits high. They made the bad people run away and saved their nation.
+
+Lila was very proud of Rock and his soldiers. She clapped her hands and cheered. She thanked her grandpa for the story. She said she wanted to be like Rock when she grew up. She wanted to be loyal and brave and kind. She wanted to rock for her nation. Her grandpa smiled and hugged her. He said she was his little rock star.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the attic. They found many old things there, like hats, books, and toys. One day, they saw a big trunk in the corner. It was locked with a key.
+
+"Let's open it!" Lily said. "Maybe there is something fun inside."
+
+"But we don't have the key," Ben said. "How can we open it?"
+
+Lily had an idea. She saw a hammer on the floor. She picked it up and swung it at the lock. "This will work," she said.
+
+But she was clumsy. She missed the lock and hit the trunk instead. The trunk made a loud noise and shook. Lily and Ben heard a growl from inside.
+
+"What was that?" Ben asked, scared.
+
+"Maybe it's a monster," Lily said, also scared.
+
+They ran to the door, but it was stuck. They tried to push it, but it did not move. They heard the trunk open behind them. They turned around and saw a big, furry creature with horns, claws, and teeth. It looked angry.
+
+"Who are you?" it asked in a deep voice. "Why did you hit my trunk?"
+
+Lily and Ben were very afraid. They did not know what to say. They wished they had not opened the trunk.
+
+"Please don't hurt us," Lily said. "We are sorry. We did not know you were in there."
+
+The creature looked at them. It saw that they were small and harmless. It felt sorry for them.
+
+"I'm not going to hurt you," it said. "I'm just lonely. I've been in this trunk for a long time. No one ever comes to visit me."
+
+"Who are you?" Ben asked.
+
+"I'm a gruffalo," it said. "Do you know what a gruffalo is?"
+
+Lily and Ben shook their heads. They had never heard of a gruffalo.
+
+"A gruffalo is a magical animal," it said. "But people don't believe in us anymore. They think we are scary and bad. That's why I hide in this trunk. But I wish I had some friends."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the gruffalo. They thought he was not scary and bad. He was just different and sad.
+
+"Maybe we can be your friends," Lily said. "We like to play and have fun. We can show you our toys and books. We can tell you stories and jokes. We can make you happy."
+
+The gruffalo smiled. He liked the sound of that. He wanted to play and have fun. He wanted to see their toys and books. He wanted to hear their stories and jokes. He wanted to be happy.
+
+"Really?" he asked. "You would do that for me?"
+
+"Sure," Ben said. "We don't mind that you are a gruffalo. We think you are cool and nice. We believe in you."
+
+The gruffalo was very happy. He hugged Lily and Ben. They hugged him back. They opened the door and went downstairs. They played and laughed together. They became good friends. They learned that it did not matter what you look like or where you come from. What mattered was what was in your heart.
+Ben loves football. He plays with his dad in the park every day. He wants a new football for his birthday. He tells his dad many times.
+
+On his birthday, Ben wakes up early. He runs to the living room. He sees a big box with a bow. He thinks it is his new football. He opens the box. He is very sad. It is a fake football. It is soft and fluffy. It has a face and arms. It is a toy.
+
+Ben cries. He says, "This is not a football. This is a silly toy. I don't want it. I want a real football."
+
+His dad smiles. He says, "Don't cry, Ben. This is not your real present. This is a joke. I have a surprise for you. Come with me."
+
+He takes Ben to the backyard. He shows him a new football. It is shiny and hard. It has his name on it. It is a real football.
+
+Ben is very happy. He hugs his dad. He says, "Thank you, dad. This is the best present ever. You are the best dad ever. Can we play now?"
+
+His dad says, "Of course, Ben. Let's play. Happy birthday, son."
+
+They play with the new football. They have fun. Ben forgets about the fake football. He loves his dad and his new football.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with cars. Sara has a red car and Tom has a blue car. They make car sounds and drive their cars on the floor.
+
+One day, Sara's mom says, "Sara, it is time to clean your car. It is very dirty. Look at all the dust and mud on it."
+
+Sara does not want to clean her car. She says, "No, mom. I like my car dirty. It looks more fun."
+
+Tom hears Sara and says, "Sara, you should clean your car. My car is clean and shiny. It is better to have a clean car. It goes faster and smoother."
+
+Sara and Tom start to talk. They argue about whose car is better. Sara says, "Dirty car, dirty car, dirty car." Tom says, "Clean car, clean car, clean car."
+
+Sara's mom comes back and sees them talking. She says, "Sara, Tom, stop arguing. Both of your cars are good. But Sara, you still need to clean your car. It is not good to have a dirty car. It can make you sick and it can break."
+
+Sara listens to her mom. She says, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Tom. You are right. I will clean my car." She takes a cloth and some water and wipes her car. She makes it clean and shiny.
+
+Tom smiles and says, "Good job, Sara. Your car looks nice. Can we play with our cars again?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Yes, Tom. Let's play with our cars. But this time, let's keep them clean." They make car sounds and drive their cars on the floor. They are happy and they are friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they do not like to clean up. Their mom always tells them to put their toys on the table when they are done. But Anna and Ben are lazy. They leave their toys on the floor.
+
+One day, mom has a surprise for them. She says, "Come and see what I have for you!" Anna and Ben run to the living room. They see a big display on the table. It has pictures of animals, cars, and stars. It also has letters and numbers. Mom says, "This is a learning display. You can touch it and learn new things. Do you like it?"
+
+Anna and Ben are very happy. They say, "Wow! This is so cool! Thank you, mom!" They go to the table and start to play with the display. They learn the names of the animals, the colors of the cars, and the shapes of the stars. They also learn how to spell and count. They have so much fun.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I'm glad you like it. But remember, you have to clean up your toys before you play with the display. Otherwise, the display will not work. Do you understand?" Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will clean up our toys." They go to the floor and pick up their toys. They put them on the table. They are not lazy anymore. They want to play with the display more. Mom is proud of them. She hugs them and says, "Good job, Anna and Ben. You are very smart and responsible. I love you." Anna and Ben hug her back and say, "We love you too, mom." They are a happy family.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wants to touch the water. Ben says no.
+
+"Why not?" Lily asks.
+
+"Water is wet. You will get wet too. And cold. And dirty. Mom will be mad," Ben says.
+
+Lily does not listen. She runs to the pond. She puts her hand in the water. It feels different. It is cold and smooth and tickles her fingers. She laughs. She likes the water.
+
+Ben watches her. He is scared. He thinks the water is bad. He thinks the ducks and fish will bite her. He thinks she will fall in. He yells at her.
+
+"Lily, come back! The water is not good! It is dangerous! You will get hurt!"
+
+Lily does not hear him. She is too busy. She sees a shiny thing in the water. She wants to see it better. She leans over the pond. She reaches for the shiny thing.
+
+Splash!
+
+Lily falls in the water. She is wet and cold and scared. She cries. The ducks and fish swim away. Ben runs to her. He helps her out of the water. He hugs her. He says sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. The water is not bad. It is fun. But you have to be careful. You can't go too close. You can't touch everything. Some things are not what they seem."
+
+Lily nods. She says sorry too.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I was silly. I did not listen. I wanted to touch the water. I wanted to see the shiny thing. But it was not a thing. It was a bubble. It popped. And I fell in."
+
+They look at each other. They smile. They are still twins. They still like to play. But they learned something new. Water is different. And so are they.
+Tom and Lily liked to play outside. They liked to see the birds, the trees, and the flowers. They liked to run, jump, and laugh. They were happy.
+
+One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue. It looked like a rainbow. They wanted to go inside the balloon and soar high. They wanted to see more of nature.
+
+They ran to the balloon. They saw a man with a fat belly. He was holding a rope. He smiled at them.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Do you want to ride in my balloon?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+"OK, then. Come with me. I will show you the world." He took their hands and led them to the basket. He helped them climb inside. He let go of the rope. The balloon soared up, up, up.
+
+Tom and Lily were excited. They looked down and saw their house, their yard, their street. They looked up and saw the clouds, the sun, the stars. They felt the wind, the warmth, the freedom.
+
+They asked the man many questions. He answered them with lies. He told them he was their friend. He told them he would take them back. He told them he had candy and toys for them. He was not their friend. He was a bad man. He wanted to hurt them.
+
+He flew the balloon far, far away. He flew it to a dark place. He flew it to a place with no people, no birds, no trees, no flowers. He flew it to a place with fire, smoke, and noise. He flew it to a place where he had other bad men waiting for him.
+
+He landed the balloon. He grabbed Tom and Lily. He dragged them out of the basket. He threw them to the ground. He laughed.
+
+"Here they are, boys. Two fresh ones for our fun. Let's see how much they scream." He said.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They cried. They wanted to go home. They wanted their mom and dad. They wanted to play outside. They wanted to see the birds, the trees, and the flowers. They wanted to run, jump, and laugh. They were not happy.
+
+The end.
+Sara loved her doll very much. She called her doll Lily and gave her hugs and kisses every day. Lily had black hair and black eyes, just like Sara. Sara liked to dress Lily in pretty clothes and play with her in the garden.
+
+One day, Sara saw a big dog in the garden. The dog was brown and furry and had a long tail. Sara thought the dog was cute and wanted to pet him. She ran to the dog with Lily in her arms. The dog saw Sara and wagged his tail. He liked children and wanted to play.
+
+But the dog did not know that Lily was a doll. He thought Lily was a toy. He wanted to play with Lily too. He jumped on Sara and tried to grab Lily with his mouth. Sara was scared and held Lily tight. She shouted, "No, bad dog! Leave Lily alone!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He pulled Lily with his teeth. Sara pulled Lily with her hands. They pulled and pulled and pulled. Sara felt Lily's arm snap. She cried out loud. The dog let go of Lily and ran away. He did not mean to hurt Sara or Lily. He was just a silly dog.
+
+Sara looked at Lily and saw her broken arm. She felt very sad and angry. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. You are my best friend." She ran to her mom and showed her Lily's arm. Her mom said, "Don't worry, Sara. We can fix Lily. She will be okay." She took Lily and Sara inside the house. She got some glue and some tape and some cloth. She fixed Lily's arm and wrapped it in a bandage. She gave Lily back to Sara and said, "There you go, Sara. Lily is good as new. She is a brave doll. And you are a brave girl."
+
+Sara smiled and thanked her mom. She kissed Lily and said, "You are a good doll, Lily. I'm sorry the dog hurt you. But you are still beautiful and strong. You have black hair and black eyes, just like me. We are twins." She took Lily to her room and played with her. She forgot about the dog and the garden. She was happy with her doll.
+Jill and Tom were playing in the garden with their water guns. They liked to spray each other and the flowers and the bugs. They laughed and ran and had fun.
+
+But then they saw an elderly lady walking on the sidewalk. She had a big hat and a long dress and a cane. She looked very serious and grumpy.
+
+"Let's spray her!" Tom said. He thought it would be funny to make her wet.
+
+"No, Tom, that's not nice!" Jill said. She knew the lady was old and might get angry or sick.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He aimed his water gun at the lady and pulled the trigger. A stream of water flew out and hit the lady's hat.
+
+"Hey, you naughty children!" the lady shouted. She was very surprised and annoyed. She waved her cane at Tom and Jill. "Stop that at once! How dare you spray me!"
+
+Tom and Jill were scared. They dropped their water guns and ran inside the house. They hid behind the sofa and hoped the lady would not tell their mom.
+
+They learned their lesson. They decided to never spray anyone who did not want to play with them. They also said sorry to the lady the next day and gave her some flowers. The lady smiled and forgave them. She even let them pet her cat.
+Lily and Ben loved to play by the sea. They liked to make sand castles, find shells and splash in the water. One day, they found a big, shiny stone that looked like a star. They both wanted to keep it.
+
+"It's mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "I picked it up first!"
+
+They started to pull and tug at the stone, but it was too hard to break. They got angry and sad. They stopped talking to each other.
+
+A gentle voice came from behind them. It was their mom. She had been watching them from a distance.
+
+"Children, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over a stone?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at their mom. They felt ashamed.
+
+"We both want it, mom," Lily said. "It's so pretty and special."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She took the stone and held it in her hand.
+
+"It is pretty and special, but do you know what is more pretty and special?" she asked.
+
+"What, mom?" Lily and Ben asked.
+
+"You are," mom said. "You are my precious children, and I love you very much. You are more valuable than any stone in the world. And you know what else is valuable? Your friendship. You should not fight over things that can be lost or broken. You should share and care for each other, because you are the best gift you can give to each other."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry and happy. They hugged each other and said sorry.
+
+"Can we still keep the stone, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can," mom said. "But only if you promise to share it and enjoy it together. And maybe you can also find some other friends to play with by the sea. There are many wonderful things to discover and enjoy, if you are kind and generous."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They thanked their mom and ran back to the sea, holding the stone and each other's hand. They learned a valuable lesson that day.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and laugh. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. Mom and Dad have a big surprise for them.
+
+They go to the park with Mom and Dad. They see a big tent. They hear music and clapping. They smell popcorn and candy. They wonder what is inside.
+
+Mom and Dad say, "This is your surprise. We are going to see a clown show. Do you like clowns?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod and smile. They like clowns. They think clowns are funny and silly. They want to see the clowns.
+
+They go inside the tent. They sit on the chairs. They see a lot of people. They see a big stage. They see a red curtain. They wait for the show to start.
+
+The music gets louder. The curtain opens. They see a clown. The clown has a big nose, big shoes, and big hair. The clown is wearing a colorful suit. The clown is holding a bunch of balloons.
+
+The clown says, "Hello, boys and girls. Welcome to the clown show. Are you ready to have some fun?"
+
+The people say, "Yes!"
+
+The clown says, "Great. Let me introduce you to my friends. They are also clowns. They are very healthy and strong. They can do amazing things. Watch and see."
+
+The clown lets go of the balloons. The balloons fly up to the ceiling. The clown calls his friends. They come out of the curtain. They are wearing different suits. They have different noses, shoes, and hair. They are smiling and waving.
+
+Sara and Ben clap and cheer. They think the clowns are wonderful. They want to see what they can do. They watch the clown show. They see the clowns juggle, dance, sing, ride bikes, make jokes, and do tricks. They laugh and have fun. They enjoy their birthday surprise. They love the clowns.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books.
+
+One day, they decide to have a race with their cars. They line up their cars at the start of the road. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars as fast as they can.
+
+Tom is very competitive. He wants to win the race. He pushes his car harder and harder. He tries to pass Mia's car. But Mia's car is also fast. She does not let Tom pass. She pushes her car harder and harder too.
+
+They reach the end of the road. They look at their cars. They are very close. They do not know who won. They look at each other. They are both happy. They say, "That was fun! Let's do it again!" and laugh. They are still friends. They like to play with cars.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to make a cake for dad's birthday. Mom gave her a big bowl and some eggs. Lily cracked the eggs and put them in the bowl. She felt very proud.
+
+"Can I take the mixer, mom?" Lily asked. She saw the mixer on the counter. It was shiny and had buttons.
+
+"Sure, honey. But be careful. It is very fast and loud." Mom said. She plugged the mixer and handed it to Lily. Lily held the mixer with both hands and pushed a button. The mixer started to spin and make noise. Lily giggled.
+
+Lily moved the mixer in the bowl. She saw the eggs turn into a yellow cream. She added some flour, sugar, and milk. She mixed them all together. The cream became thick and smooth. Lily smelled it. It smelled sweet and yummy.
+
+"Wow, you are doing a great job, Lily. You are a good helper." Mom said. She smiled and hugged Lily. Lily felt happy. She poured the cream into a cake pan. Mom put the pan in the oven. They waited for the cake to bake.
+
+Soon, the cake was ready. It was brown and fluffy. Mom took it out of the oven and let it cool. Lily helped mom to decorate the cake. They put some frosting, sprinkles, and candles on top. The cake looked beautiful.
+
+"Happy birthday, dad!" Lily shouted when dad came home. She showed him the cake. Dad was surprised and happy. He hugged Lily and mom. He thanked them for the cake. He blew out the candles and cut a slice. He gave it to Lily. Lily tasted it. It was delicious. She smiled. She loved her mom, her dad, and her cake.
+Ben was sick. He had a fever and a cough. He felt hot and tired. His mom gave him some medicine to make him feel better. She said, "Drink this, Ben. It will help you."
+
+Ben did not like the medicine. It was bitter and yucky. He made a face and spat it out. He said, "No, mom. I don't want it. It's bad."
+
+His mom was frustrated. She knew Ben needed the medicine. She said, "Ben, please. You have to drink it. It's good for you. It will make your fever go away."
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not want to listen. He hid under the blanket. He said, "No, no, no. Go away, mom. Leave me alone."
+
+His mom heard a knock on the door. It was the doctor. She had called him to check on Ben. She said, "Ben, the doctor is here. He will see how you are. He will give you a sticker if you are brave."
+
+Ben liked stickers. He wanted to see the doctor. He said, "Really, mom? A sticker? Can I have one?"
+
+His mom nodded. She said, "Yes, Ben. But you have to drink the medicine first. Then you can see the doctor and get a sticker. Hurry, Ben. The doctor is waiting."
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He did not like the medicine, but he liked stickers. He wanted to be brave. He said, "Okay, mom. I will drink the medicine. But only a little bit."
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "Good, Ben. That's my boy. Here, take a sip. It's not so bad."
+
+Ben held his nose and drank the medicine. He made a face and swallowed. He said, "Blech. It's still bad. But I did it, mom. I drank the medicine."
+
+His mom hugged him. She said, "I'm proud of you, Ben. You are very brave. Now you can see the doctor and get a sticker. Come on, let's go."
+
+Ben got out of the bed. He felt a little better. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can I have a dinosaur sticker?"
+
+His mom said, "We'll see, Ben. Maybe the doctor has one. Let's go and find out."
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big snowman in the park. He had a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose. Lily wanted to say hello to him.
+
+She ran to the snowman and touched his cold arm. She felt something wet on her hand. She looked and saw that the snow was melting. She wondered why.
+
+She looked at the sun in the sky. It was bright and warm. She thought that maybe the sun was making the snow melt. She wanted to know more.
+
+She took off her skirt and wrapped it around the snowman's arm. She hoped that it would keep him cold. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Snowman. I will help you."
+
+But the skirt did not help. It only got wet and soggy. The snowman kept melting. His hat fell off. His scarf slipped down. His carrot nose dropped to the ground.
+
+Lily felt sad. She liked the snowman. She wanted him to stay. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Snowman. I tried to save you."
+
+But the snowman did not answer. He was gone. Only a puddle of water was left. Lily cried and ran back to her mom. She learned that some things cannot last. But she also learned that she could make new friends. Maybe next winter, she would make another snowman. And maybe he would not melt.
+Sara and Tom are playing with plastic toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Sara has a plastic giraffe and Tom has a plastic lion.
+
+"Roar!" Tom says, jumping on the sofa. "I am a big lion and I will eat you!"
+
+"No, no!" Sara says, hiding behind a pillow. "You are a nice lion and you will share with me!"
+
+Tom laughs and nods. He likes to share with Sara. He gives her a plastic banana from his toy basket.
+
+"Here, giraffe, have a yummy banana!" he says.
+
+"Thank you, lion, you are very kind!" Sara says. She pretends to eat the banana and makes a happy sound.
+

+
+"Yummy, yummy, juice!" Tom says.
+
+They sit down and enjoy their lunch. They are good friends and they love to play and eat together.
+Lily and Ben were playing a game with cards. They had to match the cards with the same picture. Lily was very clever and found many matches. Ben was not so good at the game and only found a few. He was sad and wanted to stop playing.
+
+"Let's play something else," he said.
+
+"No, I want to play more cards," Lily said. "I like this game. It is fun."
+
+"But you always win," Ben said. "It is not fair. You have a big score and I have a small score."
+
+Lily did not care. She liked to win. She insist that they play more cards. She gave Ben a new card and said, "Look, this card has a dog. Can you find another card with a dog?"
+
+Ben looked at the card. He saw something on the card that made him smile. He had a clever idea. He said, "Yes, I can find another card with a dog. But first, I want to show you something."
+
+He took the card and ran to the door. He opened the door and called, "Here, Spot! Come here, boy!"
+
+Spot was Ben's dog. He heard Ben's voice and ran to him. He saw the card in Ben's hand and thought it was a toy. He jumped and grabbed the card with his mouth. He ran away with the card.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Lily shouted. She ran after Spot. She wanted her card back.
+
+Ben laughed. He said, "Now we can play something else. How about we play catch with Spot?"
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. Tom is big and strong. He has many muscles. Sam is small and fast. He can run very well.
+
+One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a big bike. He rides it very fast. He looks different from Tom and Sam. He has curly hair and dark skin.
+
+Tom wants to try the bike. He runs to the boy and says, "Give me your bike. I want to ride it."
+
+The boy says, "No, this is my bike. You can't have it. Go away."
+
+Tom gets angry. He yells, "I am bigger than you. I have more muscles. I can take your bike if I want to."
+
+Sam hears Tom yell. He runs to him and says, "Stop, Tom. You are being mean. You can't take his bike. He is different from us, but he is not bad. He is just a boy like us. Maybe he wants to be our friend."
+
+Tom looks at Sam. He looks at the boy. He feels sorry. He says, "You are right, Sam. I am sorry. I was wrong. Can we be your friend?"
+
+The boy smiles. He says, "Sure, you can be my friend. My name is Ben. Do you want to ride my bike with me?"
+
+Tom and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, please. Our names are Tom and Sam. We like to play in the park."

+
+"Wow, it is so pretty! I want it!" Anna says.

+
+They see a man with a ladder. He is fixing a light. They go to him.
+
+"Excuse me, sir, can you help us?" Anna says.
+
+"What do you need, little ones?" the man says.
+

+
+The man looks at the balloon. He smiles.
+
+"Sure, I can try. But you have to be careful. The balloon might pop," he says.
+
+He puts his ladder under the balloon. He climbs up. He reaches for the balloon. He grabs it. He comes down.
+
+"Here you go, kids. The blue balloon is yours," he says.
+
+He gives the balloon to Anna and Ben. They are very happy. They thank the man.
+

+
+"Yes, thank you, sir, you are very kind!" Ben says.
+
+They hug the balloon. They play with it. They are very careful. They do not want the balloon to pop. They have a lot of fun. They are glad that the blue balloon happened to be in the sky. It is very pretty.
+Lia likes to lift things. She lifts her toys, her books, her pillows. She lifts her cat, but he does not like it. He runs away and hides under the bed. Lia laughs and looks for something else to lift.
+
+She sees a big box in the corner of her room. It is her chamber. She made it with her dad. It has a door, a window, and a roof. It is her special place. She can play, read, and dream in her chamber. She is independent in her chamber. She does not need anyone to tell her what to do.
+
+She decides to lift her chamber. She grabs the sides and pulls. It is heavy, but she is strong. She lifts it a little bit, then a little bit more. She is proud of herself. She lifts it higher and higher. She does not see the lamp on the table behind her.
+
+She lifts her chamber so high that it hits the lamp. The lamp falls and breaks. It makes a loud noise. Lia is scared. She drops her chamber. It lands on the floor with a thud. She hears her mom coming. She runs to her chamber and closes the door. She hopes her mom will not be mad. She hopes her chamber is not broken. She hopes her cat will come back. She hugs her pillow and waits.
+Sam and Lily love to watch films on the big screen. They have a box of films that they can choose from. Sometimes they watch funny films, sometimes they watch scary films, sometimes they watch films with animals.
+
+One day, they find a film that they have never seen before. It has a picture of a big green monster on the cover. Sam says, "Let's watch this one. It looks incredible." Lily says, "OK, but I hope it's not too scary."
+
+They remove the film from the box and put it in the machine. They sit on the couch and wait for the film to start. But something is wrong. The film is not clear. It is blurry and fuzzy. They can't see the monster or anything else.
+
+Sam says, "What's wrong with the film? Why is it not clear?" Lily says, "I don't know. Maybe it's broken. Maybe we need to clean it." They pause the film and take it out of the machine. They look at the film and see that it has a lot of dust and dirt on it.
+
+Sam says, "Look, the film is dirty. That's why it's not clear. We need to remove the dirt." Lily says, "How do we do that?" Sam says, "We can use a cloth and wipe it gently. Like this." He takes a cloth and wipes the film carefully. He removes the dirt and makes the film shiny.
+
+They put the film back in the machine and press play. The film is clear now. They can see the monster and everything else. The monster is big and green and scary, but also funny and kind. He makes them laugh and scream. They enjoy the film very much.
+
+Sam says, "This is an incredible film. I'm glad we cleaned it." Lily says, "Me too. It was worth it." They hug each other and watch the film until the end. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben like to play with clay. They have many colors of clay. They can make animals, cars, flowers and more. Sara and Ben want to make a rainbow with clay. They need to mix different colors to make new ones.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have red and yellow. If I mix them, I get orange!" Sara says.
+

+"Mom, mom, look what we made!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+They run to the kitchen with their rainbow. But mom is not there. She is at the shop. She left a note on the table.
+
+"Dear Sara and Ben, I went to the shop to buy some food. I will be back soon. Do not touch the oven. It is hot. Love, mom."
+
+Sara and Ben do not see the note. They see a cake on the oven. It smells good. It has white cream and red cherries on top.
+
+"Look, Ben, a cake! Mom made it for us!" Sara says.
+
+"Yum, yum, let's eat some!" Ben says.
+
+They climb on a chair and reach for the cake. But the cake is too far. They stretch their arms. They lose their balance. They fall off the chair. They drop their rainbow. The clay splashes on the floor, on the walls, on the oven. The cake falls too. It breaks into pieces. The cream and the cherries make a mess.
+
+Sara and Ben cry. They are hurt. They are dirty. They are sad. They ruined their rainbow. They ruined the cake. They hear the door open. Mom is back. She sees the disaster. She is angry. She is disappointed. She scolds Sara and Ben.
+
+"What have you done? How could you be so naughty? You did not listen to me. You touched the oven. You wasted the cake. You made a big mess. You have to clean it up. And no dessert for you tonight!"

+"Look, a brush!" Lily says. "We can paint with it!"
+
+"Good idea!" Tom says. "Let's find some water and some paper!"
+
+They run to the fountain and fill a cup with water. Then they find some paper on a bench. They dip the brush in the water and start to paint.

+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Sara cries. "Something bit me!"
+
+Ben runs to Sara. He sees a bee on her foot. The bee is angry. It stings Sara. Ben is scared. He wants to help Sara.
+

+
+Ben takes Sara's hand. He leads her to the house. He sees Mom in the kitchen. He tells Mom what happened.
+

+
+Mom looks at Sara's foot. She sees a red bump. She feels sorry for Sara. She is gentle with her.
+
+"Poor Sara. That must hurt a lot," Mom says. She takes a cloth and some ice. She puts the ice on Sara's foot. She wraps the cloth around it.
+
+"That will make it feel better," Mom says. She hugs Sara. She kisses her cheek.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Sara says. She smiles a little. She still feels some pain, but she is brave.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Sara says. She looks at Ben. She is glad he is her brother.
+
+"You're welcome, Sara," Ben says. He smiles too. He is happy he helped Sara.
+
+They go to the living room. They sit on the couch. They watch some cartoons. They forget about the bee. They have fun. They are friends.
+Sam liked to build things with his toys. He had blocks, cars, trains, and animals. He liked to make big towers, bridges, roads, and farms. He was very good at building.
+
+One day, Sam saw his mom cooking spaghetti for lunch. He liked spaghetti. It was long and wiggly and tasty. He wondered if he could build something with spaghetti. He asked his mom if he could have some.
+
+His mom smiled and gave him a plate of spaghetti. She said he could play with it, but he had to be careful not to make a mess. Sam said thank you and took the plate to his room.
+
+Sam looked at the spaghetti. It was not like his other toys. It was soft and sticky and bendy. He tried to make a tower, but it fell down. He tried to make a bridge, but it broke. He tried to make a road, but it twisted. He tried to make a farm, but it was too messy.
+
+Sam was sad. He could not build anything with spaghetti. It was not a good toy. It was just ordinary food. He wished he had his blocks, cars, trains, and animals. He decided to stop playing with spaghetti and eat it instead. He was hungry.
+
+He went back to the kitchen and told his mom he was sorry. He said he could not build anything with spaghetti. He said he wanted to eat it. His mom hugged him and said it was okay.

+
+Sam smiled and ate his spaghetti. It was long and wiggly and tasty. He liked spaghetti. He was happy.

+
+"Let's climb the tree and get some apples," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Anna said.
+
+They climbed the tree and each picked an apple. They were about to bite into them when they heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, those are my apples! Get down from there!" It was Mr. Brown, the owner of the park. He was a miserable man who did not like children. He always shouted at them and chased them away.
+
+Tom and Anna were scared. They dropped their apples and climbed down quickly. Mr. Brown was waiting for them. He was holding a stick and looked angry.
+
+"How dare you steal my apples! You are bad children! I will teach you a lesson!" He raised his stick and was about to hit them.
+
+"Please, don't hurt us! We are sorry! We were hungry and the apples looked good!" Tom and Anna cried.
+
+"Sorry is not enough! You have to pay for what you did!" Mr. Brown said.
+
+Just then, a kind lady came by. She saw what was happening and stopped Mr. Brown.
+
+"What are you doing, Mr. Brown? Why are you threatening these children?" She asked.
+
+"They stole my apples! They are thieves!" Mr. Brown said.
+
+"Is that true, children?" The lady asked.
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They were ashamed.
+
+"Well, that was wrong of you, children. You should not take what is not yours. But Mr. Brown, you should not be so harsh on them. They are just children. They made a mistake. You should forgive them and provide them with some apples. They are hungry and need some food. That is the right thing to do," The lady said.
+
+Mr. Brown looked at the lady. He looked at the children. He looked at the apples. He felt a little sorry for them. He lowered his stick and sighed.
+
+"Maybe you are right, lady. Maybe I have been too miserable. Maybe I should be more generous and kind. Here, children, take some apples. But don't do it again. Next time, ask me first. And say thank you," He said.
+
+Tom and Anna were surprised and happy. They took some apples and said thank you. They also said sorry to Mr. Brown. They smiled at the lady.
+
+"Thank you, lady. You are very nice. You helped us and Mr. Brown. You taught us a lesson. We will not steal again. We will be good and respectful," They said.
+
+The lady smiled back. She was glad that she could help. She hoped that Tom and Anna learned their lesson. She also hoped that Mr. Brown became less miserable and more friendly.
+
+"You are welcome, children. I am happy that you are sorry and grateful. You have learned a valuable lesson. It is better to share and care than to steal and fight. Remember that, and you will have more friends and happiness," She said.
+
+Then she waved goodbye and walked away. Tom and Anna waved back. They ate their apples and enjoyed them. They also played with Mr. Brown and his dog. They became friends and had fun. They were no longer hungry or scared. They were happy and thankful.
+Lily and Sam were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a shiny red car that could twist and turn on the floor. Sam had a blue truck that could carry blocks and make noises. Sam liked his truck, but he was envious of Lily's car. He wanted to twist and turn it too.
+
+"Can I play with your car, Lily?" Sam asked.
+
+"No, it's mine. You have your truck," Lily said.
+
+"But your car is more fun. Please, Lily, let me try it," Sam begged.
+
+"No, Sam, go away. You are a bad brother," Lily said.
+
+Sam was angry and sad. He thought Lily was not nice. He decided to take her car when she was not looking. He waited until Lily went to the kitchen to get a drink. Then he grabbed her car and ran to his room. He twisted and turned the car on his bed, laughing.
+
+Lily came back and saw that her car was gone. She looked around and saw Sam's truck on the floor. She knew what Sam had done. She was furious. She ran to his room and opened the door.
+
+"Sam, give me back my car. You took it without asking. That's not fair," Lily shouted.
+
+Sam saw Lily and hid the car under his pillow. He pretended he did not know what she was talking about.
+
+"What car, Lily? I don't have your car. You are lying," Sam said.
+
+Lily saw the car peeking out from under the pillow. She knew Sam was not telling the truth. She jumped on the bed and tried to get the car. Sam held on to the pillow and pushed her away. They both yelled and pulled and twisted.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Sam fighting over the car. She was not happy. She took the car and the truck and put them on a shelf.
+
+"Lily and Sam, stop it. You are both being naughty. You need to share your toys and be kind to each other. You are siblings, not enemies. Now say sorry and hug," mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam looked at each other. They felt ashamed. They knew mom was right. They said sorry and hugged. Mom smiled and gave them a kiss. She gave them back their toys and told them to play nicely. Lily and Sam nodded and thanked mom. They played with the car and the truck together, taking turns and helping each other. They were happy and not envious anymore. They learned a lesson about truth and sharing.
+Lily and Sam are playing with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. They want to sort their toys into groups. Lily says, "Let's sort by color. I take the red toys, you take the blue toys." Sam agrees and they start to sort.
+
+They sort very fast and soon they have two piles of toys. Lily looks at her pile and says, "I have more toys than you. I win!" Sam looks at his pile and says, "No, you don't. I have bigger toys than you. I win!" They start to argue and get angry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees their toys and says, "Why are you fighting? You both did a brilliant job of sorting your toys. You both win!" Lily and Sam look at each other and feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Sam." Mom smiles and says, "It's okay. Now, why don't you sort by shape? You can work together and share your toys." Lily and Sam like that idea and start to sort by shape. They have fun and play nicely.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles and roads. They found a big pit that someone else had dug. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in the pit!" Tom said. "Maybe there is treasure!"
+
+"OK!" Lila said. "But be careful. It is very deep."
+
+They climbed down the pit. It was dark and cold. They saw some rocks and sticks and a blue ball.
+
+"Look, a ball!" Lila said. "Maybe it is magic!"
+
+She picked up the ball and threw it to Tom. Tom caught it and threw it back. They had fun playing with the ball.
+
+But then, Tom felt something tickle his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he could not. He sneezed very loud.
+
+"Achoo!"
+
+The sneeze made the sand fall from the walls of the pit. It covered them with dust and dirt.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Lila said. "We have to get out!"
+
+They dropped the ball and tried to climb up the pit. But it was too slippery and steep. They slid back down.
+
+"Help!" Tom shouted. "Help us!"
+
+Lila shouted too. They hoped someone would hear them.
+
+They heard a voice from above. It was their mom.
+
+"Lila! Tom! Where are you?"
+
+"Mom!" Lila said. "We are here! In the pit!"
+
+Their mom saw them and ran to the pit. She reached down and pulled them out. She hugged them and brushed off the sand.
+
+"Are you OK?" she asked. "What were you doing in the pit?"
+
+"We were playing with a blue ball," Tom said. "But then I sneezed and the sand fell."
+
+"That was not a good idea," their mom said. "The pit is dangerous. You could have been hurt. You should never go in a pit without an adult."
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Lila said. "We won't do it again."
+
+Their mom smiled and kissed them. She gave them some water and a tissue.
+
+"Let's go home and wash up," she said. "And next time, play with something safer than a pit and a ball."
+
+"OK, mom," Lila and Tom said. They followed their mom to the car. They left the blue ball in the pit. They did not want it anymore.

+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom and saw a girl sitting on a bench. She had a book and a pencil too, but she was not drawing. She was writing letters and words. Tommy was curious and wanted to see what she was doing.
+
+He walked up to her and said, "Hi, I am Tommy. What is your name?"
+
+The girl looked up and smiled. She said, "Hi, I am Lily. I am learning to write."
+
+Tommy asked, "Can I see your book?"
+
+Lily nodded and showed him her book. It had many pages with lines and letters. She pointed to some words and said, "This is cat, this is dog, this is sun."
+
+Tommy was amazed. He said, "Wow, you can write words! I can only draw pictures."
+
+Lily said, "That's okay, pictures are fun too. Can I see your drawings?"
+
+Tommy was happy and said, "Sure, I have many drawings. Come, I will introduce you to my pencil friends."

+
+Lily liked his drawings and said, "They are very nice. You are good at drawing."
+
+Tommy and Lily became friends and decided to share their pencils and their books. They learned from each other and had fun. They were playful and happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with a rope around its neck. The dog looked sad and hungry.
+
+"Let's help the dog," Ben said. "Maybe he is lost."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. He might bite us."
+
+They went to the dog and gave him some meat from their lunch. The dog ate the meat and wagged his tail. He seemed friendly.
+
+"Can we tie the rope to the fence?" Ben asked. "Then he won't run away."
+
+"Good idea," Lily said. "Then we can go and find his owner."
+
+They tied the rope to the fence and left the dog. They looked around the park for someone who might know the dog. But they did not see anyone.
+
+They came back to the dog. But the dog was not there. The rope was broken. There was blood on the ground.
+
+They heard a loud scream. They ran to the sound. They saw a man lying on the grass. He had a big wound on his leg. The dog was biting him.
+

+Tommy loves waffles. He likes to eat them with butter and honey. But today, he is naughty. He does not want to share his waffles with his sister Lily. He takes all the waffles from the plate and runs to his room.
+
+Lily is sad. She wants to eat waffles too. She follows Tommy to his room and knocks on the door. Tommy does not open the door. He says, "Go away, Lily. These are my waffles. You cannot have any."

+
+Tommy is sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Mommy. I am sorry, Lily. I was selfish. I will share my waffles with Lily next time. And I will help you repair the door and clean the floor."
+
+Mommy smiles. She says, "That is good, Tommy. I forgive you. But you have to learn to be nice and generous. Sharing is caring. And breaking things is bad. Now let's go to the kitchen and make some more waffles. And this time, you will share them with Lily."
+
+Tommy nods. He says, "Yes, Mommy. I will share them with Lily. And I will say sorry to her too."

+Lily loved to bounce on her bed. She bounced up and down, left and right, and made funny noises. She bounced so much that she did not hear her mom call her for dinner. She bounced so much that she did not see her dad come into her room. She bounced so much that she did not notice her brother sneak in and take her favorite toy.
+
+When Lily finally stopped bouncing, she looked around and saw that her toy was gone. She felt angry and sad. She ran to her brother's room and saw him playing with her toy in front of the television. She tried to grab it, but he pushed her away. They started to fight and yell.
+
+Their mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw Lily and her brother fighting over the toy. They felt frustrated and disappointed. They took the toy and the television away from both of them. They told them to go to their rooms and think about what they did.

+
+They look for the dog in the park. They see many dogs, but not the one in the photo. They are sad. Then, they see a regular dog with a brown coat. They have an idea. They run to the shop and buy a hat like the one in the photo. They put the hat on the regular dog. They think it is funny.
+
+They wait for the owner of the dog to come. They want to see his face when he sees his dog with a hat. They hide behind a tree. They hear a voice. It is the owner of the dog. He is not happy. He is angry. He shouts at the dog. He takes off the hat. He throws it away. He walks away with the dog.
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They come out of the tree. They see the hat on the ground. They feel bad. They did not mean to make the owner angry. They did not mean to make the dog sad. They realize their joke was not funny. It was mean. They are sorry.
+
+They pick up the hat. They run after the owner and the dog. They say sorry. They give back the hat. They ask if they can pet the dog. The owner is still angry, but he sees that Tom and Lily are sorry. He calms down. He lets them pet the dog. The dog wags his tail. He likes Tom and Lily. He forgives them.

+"OK!" Tom says. He is enthusiastic too. He follows Lila to the fountain.
+
+They bend down and put their mouths near the hole. They drink the water. It is cold and fresh. They feel better.

+
+They are happy. They go back to the park and play some more. They are friends.

+
+"Look, a pepper!" Lily said. "Can we keep it?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it belongs to someone."
+
+"Let's keep it," Lily said. "It can be our toy. We can pretend it is a ball or a car or a hat."
+
+"Okay," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. Peppers can be hot and make you cry."

+"Let's print more stars!" Tom says. He wants to make the paper full of stars.
+
+"OK, let's print more stars!" Mia says. She agrees with Tom. She likes to print with Tom.
+
+They print more stars on the paper. They have fun. They make a starry paper. They are proud of their work. They are healthy and happy. They are good friends.
+Lily liked to dream. She dreamed of big things and small things, of flying and swimming, of animals and people. Sometimes she dreamed of going to the station with her dad. She wanted to see the trains and the buses and the people.
+
+One day, her dad said, "Lily, do you want to go to the station with me? We can take the bus and see the trains."
+
+Lily was very happy. She said, "Yes, yes, yes! I want to go to the station with you, dad!"
+
+They got ready and went to the bus stop. They waited for the bus. Lily saw a big red bus coming. She said, "Look, dad, a big red bus!"
+
+They got on the bus and paid the driver. They found a seat and looked out the window. Lily saw many things. She saw cars and bikes and shops and trees. She said, "Wow, dad, so many things!"
+
+They got off the bus at the station. They walked to the platform. They saw a big yellow train. They heard a loud whistle. They saw the doors open and close. They saw people get on and off. Lily said, "Wow, dad, a big yellow train!"
+
+They went to the other side of the platform. They saw a big blue train. They heard a loud horn. They saw the doors open and close. They saw people get on and off. Lily said, "Wow, dad, a big blue train!"
+
+They watched the trains for a while. They saw different colors and shapes and sizes. They heard different sounds and voices. Lily said, "Dad, I like the station. It is fun and exciting."
+
+Her dad smiled and hugged her. He said, "I'm glad you like the station, Lily. It is fun and exciting. But you know what? It is also normal. Many people go to the station every day. They go to work or school or visit their friends. They use the trains and buses to get around. The station is part of their life."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, dad. The station is normal for them. But it is still special for me. Because I get to go with you. And because I dreamed of it."
+
+Her dad kissed her. He said, "You are very sweet, Lily. And you have a wonderful imagination. You can dream of anything you want. And maybe, one day, you can make your dreams come true."
+Lily wanted a dog. She asked her mom and dad many times, but they said no. They said dogs are too much work and too loud. Lily was sad. She loved dogs. She liked to pet them and play with them.
+
+One day, Lily saw a sign that said "Buy a dog for five coins". She had five coins in her piggy bank. She took them and ran to the sign. There was a man with a big box. He said, "Do you want a dog, little girl?"
+
+Lily nodded. She gave him the coins. He opened the box and gave her a small, brown dog. It was hidden under a blanket. Lily was happy. She hugged the dog and named it Spot.
+
+She ran back home with Spot. She wanted to show him to her mom and dad. But when she got home, they were angry. They saw the dog and said, "Where did you get that dog, Lily? You know you can't have a dog!"
+
+Lily said, "But I bought him with my own coins. He is my dog. I love him. Please let me keep him."
+
+Her mom and dad shook their heads. They said, "You can't buy a dog without asking us. You don't know how to take care of a dog. He might be sick or dirty or mean. You have to take him back to the man and get your coins back."
+
+Lily cried. She didn't want to give up Spot. He was her friend. He licked her face and wagged his tail. She said, "No, no, no. He is not sick or dirty or mean. He is good and cute and nice. I want to keep him. Please, please, please."
+
+Her mom and dad sighed. They saw how much Lily loved Spot. They felt sorry for her. They said, "OK, Lily. You can keep Spot. But you have to promise to take good care of him. You have to feed him and walk him and clean him. And you have to be quiet when he barks. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I promise, I promise, I promise. Thank you, thank you, thank you." She hugged her mom and dad and Spot. She was happy. She had a dog.
+Sara was very hungry. She wanted to eat some bread and jam. She went to the kitchen and looked for the bread. But she could not find it. She saw a big jar of jam on the table. She opened it and put her hand inside. She took out some jam and put it in her mouth. It was very sweet and sticky. She liked it.
+
+She wanted more jam. She looked for a spoon, but she could not find one. She saw a comb on the table. It was her mom's comb. She thought it looked like a spoon. She took the comb and dipped it in the jam. She put the comb in her mouth. It was very hard and pointy. It hurt her tongue. She did not like it.
+
+She spit out the comb and the jam. She felt something wet on her face. It was blood. She was scared. She started to cry. She ran to her mom and showed her the comb and the blood. Her mom was shocked. She hugged Sara and took her to the bathroom. She cleaned her tongue and put a band-aid on it. She told Sara not to eat jam with a comb. She told her to use a spoon. She gave her some bread and jam and a glass of milk. Sara felt better. She said sorry to her mom and thanked her. She learned a lesson. She never ate jam with a comb again.
+Tim and Sam were two dogs who liked to play together. They had a big yard with many toys and a cozy house. One day, they found a big bone in the yard. It was white and hard and smelled good.
+
+"Wow, look at this bone!" Tim said. "It is so big and tasty. I want to eat it all by myself."
+
+"No, you have to share it with me!" Sam said. "We are friends, and friends share things. It is not fair if you keep it all."
+
+Tim and Sam started to growl and bark at each other. They both wanted the bone and did not want to share. They pulled and tugged on the bone, trying to take it away from each other.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big bear coming towards them. The bear was hungry and angry. He saw the bone and wanted it too. He ran towards Tim and Sam, showing his sharp teeth and claws.
+
+Tim and Sam were very scared. They dropped the bone and ran away. They hid behind the house and trembled. They wished they had not fought over the bone. They wished they had been more friendly and kind to each other.
+
+The bear reached the bone and picked it up. He sniffed it and licked it. He was happy to find such a nice snack. He did not care about Tim and Sam. He ate the bone and left.
+
+Tim and Sam peeked out from behind the house. They saw that the bone was gone. They felt sad and sorry. They realized that they had been foolish and greedy. They had lost their bone and almost lost their lives.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "We are sorry. We should have shared the bone. We should have been better friends. Can we still be friends?"
+
+They hugged and wagged their tails. They decided to forget about the bone and play together. They learned that friendship is more important than things. They were happy and safe again.
+Sara was sad. Her toy horn was broken. She liked to play with it and make loud noises. But now it did not work. She tried to fix it with tape, but it was no good.
+
+She went to her brother Tom. He was playing with his cars. She asked him, "Can you give me a horn? I want to play with it."
+
+Tom looked at her. He saw her broken horn. He felt sorry for her. He said, "I have a horn. It is in my box. You can have it. But you have to be careful. It is not a toy. It is real."
+
+He went to his box and took out a horn. It was big and shiny. It had a button on it. He gave it to Sara. She was happy. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are nice. How do I use it?"
+
+Tom said, "You press the button. But not too hard. And not too often. It is very loud. It can scare people and animals. It is for emergencies only."
+
+Sara nodded. She pressed the button. The horn made a loud sound. It sounded like a train. Sara smiled. She liked the sound. She pressed the button again. And again. And again.
+
+Tom said, "Stop, Sara. Stop. That is enough. You are making too much noise. You are bothering everyone. You have to stop."
+
+But Sara did not stop. She pressed the button more and more. She did not listen to Tom. She did not see the angry faces of their mom and dad. She did not hear the barking of the dog. She did not notice the birds flying away.
+
+She only heard the horn. And she liked it. She thought it was fun. She did not know she was doing something wrong. She was only three years old.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it went too far.
+
+One time, the ball went over the fence and into the street. Tom and Lily ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw it near a big building with a cross on top. Lily said, "That is a church. My mom and dad go there on Sunday. They say it is God's house."
+
+Tom said, "Can we get our ball from the church? Maybe God will let us play with it."
+
+Lily said, "I don't know. Maybe we should ask someone. But we have to be careful. The street is busy and cars are fast. They can hurt us if we are not careful."
+
+Tom and Lily looked around and saw a man walking on the sidewalk. He was wearing a black suit and a white collar. He looked kind and friendly. Lily said, "Maybe he works at the church. Maybe he can help us."
+
+Tom and Lily waved at the man and called, "Hello, sir. Can you help us? Our ball went into the church. Can we get it back?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "Hello, children. I am the pastor of the church. I can help you get your ball back. But first, you have to guess something. What do you think is inside the church?"
+
+Tom and Lily thought hard. They tried to guess what was inside the church. Tom said, "Is it a big book?"
+
+Lily said, "Is it a big candle?"
+
+The pastor said, "Those are good guesses, but they are not right. There is something more important inside the church. It is something that you cannot see, but you can feel. It is something that God gives us and we give to each other. It is something that makes us happy and strong. Do you know what it is?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other and said, "Is it love?"
+
+The pastor said, "Yes, it is love. You are very smart, children. Love is inside the church, and outside the church, and everywhere. God loves you, and I love you, and you love each other. And love is more precious than any ball. But I know you want your ball back, so come with me. I will show you where it is. And then you can play with it, but be careful not to kick it over the fence again."
+
+Tom and Lily said, "Thank you, pastor. You are very nice. We will be careful. And we love you too." They followed the pastor to the church and got their ball back. Then they went back to the park and played with their ball. They were happy and grateful. They learned something new about the church and about love.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They had no toys to play with. Their mom was busy in the kitchen. Their dad was at work. They looked out the window and saw the big lawn. It was green and soft and empty.
+
+"Let's go outside and play!" Lily said to Ben.
+
+"OK!" Ben said. They put on their shoes and ran to the door. They opened it and went outside. The sun was bright and warm. The grass was tickly and wet. They felt happy.
+
+They saw a big pile of leaves on the lawn. It was red and yellow and brown. It looked like fun.
+
+"Let's spread the leaves!" Lily said to Ben.
+
+"OK!" Ben said. They ran to the pile and grabbed handfuls of leaves. They threw them in the air and watched them fall. They made a big mess on the lawn. They laughed and shouted.
+
+They spread the leaves all over the lawn. They made shapes and patterns with them. They made a leaf house and a leaf car and a leaf dog. They pretended to live and drive and pet. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They heard their mom call them from the kitchen. She said it was time for lunch. They smelled something yummy.
+
+"Let's go inside and eat!" Lily said to Ben.
+
+"OK!" Ben said. They left the leaves on the lawn and ran to the door. They opened it and went inside. They washed their hands and sat at the table. They saw sandwiches and juice and cookies. They felt hungry.
+
+They ate their lunch and thanked their mom. They told her about their leaf game. She smiled and said they were very creative. She said they could play outside again after their nap. They felt sleepy.
+
+They went to their room and lay on their beds. They closed their eyes and dreamed of leaves. They felt happy.
+Anna liked to help her mom in the garden. She watered the flowers, pulled the weeds, and smelled the herbs. Her mom taught her the names of the herbs, like mint, rosemary, and basil. Anna liked mint the best, because it was fresh and sweet.
+
+One day, Anna saw a little bird in the garden. It was brown and white, with a red spot on its head. It was hopping on the ground, looking for seeds. Anna wanted to play with the bird, so she ran towards it. But the bird was scared, and flew away.
+
+"Anna, stop!" her mom said. "You have to be gentle with the birds. They are not toys. They are living things, like you and me. They need space and respect."
+
+"But I just wanted to say hello," Anna said. "I like the bird. It is pretty and sings nice songs."
+
+"I know, sweetie," her mom said. "But the bird doesn't know that. It thinks you are a big, scary thing that wants to hurt it. If you want to be friends with the bird, you have to be quiet and calm. Maybe you can offer it some seeds or some herbs. Maybe it will come closer and trust you."
+
+Anna nodded. She understood. She picked some mint leaves from the garden, and put them on her palm. She walked slowly and softly to the spot where she saw the bird. She sat down on the grass, and held out her hand. She shut her mouth, and waited.
+
+After a while, the bird came back. It saw the mint leaves, and smelled them. It liked the smell. It flew to a nearby branch, and looked at Anna. It saw that she was not moving or making noise. It felt curious and safe. It flew to Anna's hand, and pecked at the mint. Anna smiled, and stayed still. She felt the bird's feathers and beak. She heard its heartbeat. She was happy.
+
+The bird ate the mint, and sang a thank you song. It flew away, but came back the next day. And the next. And the next. Anna and the bird became friends. Anna learned to be gentle with the birds, and the birds learned to trust Anna. Her mom was proud of her.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Lily are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They are very happy with their snowman.
+
+"Look, he is smiling!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, he likes us!" Tim says.
+
+They run around the snowman and throw snowballs at each other. They laugh and have fun. They are good friends.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. He is brown and furry. He barks and runs towards the snowman. He wants to play too.
+
+"Oh no, the dog!" Tim shouts.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily cries.
+
+But the dog does not listen. He jumps on the snowman and knocks him down. He bites the hat and the scarf. He eats the carrot nose and the rocks. He makes a big mess.
+
+Tim and Lily are sad and angry. They cry and yell at the dog. They want their snowman back.
+
+But then, they see something. The dog has powder on his nose and his mouth. He looks funny. He sneezes and shakes his head.
+
+Tim and Lily stop crying. They look at each other. They start to giggle. Then they laugh out loud. The dog looks confused. He wags his tail and licks their faces.
+
+Tim and Lily forgive the dog. They pet him and hug him. He is a nice dog. He is dependable. He just wanted to play.
+
+They decide to make a new snowman. They invite the dog to help them. They have more fun. They are happy again.
+Tom and his mom went to the shop. They wanted to buy a cake for dad's birthday. Tom saw a big cake with red and blue icing. He liked it very much.
+
+"Mom, can we get this cake?" Tom asked.
+
+Mom looked at the cake. She saw a sign that said "rare". She did not know what that meant.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. This cake is rare. Maybe it is not good for us. Maybe it is too expensive. Let's ask the shop lady."
+
+Mom and Tom walked to the shop lady. She was smiling and friendly.
+
+"Hello, can I help you?" the shop lady said.
+
+"Yes, please. We want to buy a cake for dad's birthday. What does rare mean?" Mom asked.
+
+The shop lady explained. "Rare means that this cake is very special. It is made with fresh fruits and nuts. It is very tasty and healthy. It is not too expensive. It is only rare because we don't make it very often. We only make it for special occasions."
+
+Mom and Tom listened. They thought the cake sounded good.
+
+"Can we trust you?" Mom asked.
+
+"Of course you can trust me. I work at the shop. I want you to be happy. I want dad to have a nice birthday. This cake is perfect for him." the shop lady said.
+

+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a shiny thing in the grass. It is a diamond. It is very light and pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. "It is so sparkly. Can I have it?"
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Max says. "It is mine. Give it to me!"
+
+They both want the diamond. They start to pull and tug on it. They are not happy.
+
+A big dog comes by. He sees the diamond. He thinks it is a toy. He runs to Lily and Max and grabs the diamond in his mouth. He runs away.
+
+"Hey, come back!" Lily and Max shout. They chase the dog. But the dog is too fast. He disappears.
+
+Lily and Max are sad. They lost the diamond. They sit on a bench and cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Max says. "I was mean to you. I should have shared the diamond with you."
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Max," Lily says. "I was greedy. I should have let you have it."
+
+They hug and say sorry. They are friends again. They decide to play something else. They forget about the diamond. They are happy.
+Lily was excited. It was her aunt's birthday and she had a gift for her. She wanted to wrap the gift by herself. She asked her mom for some paper and tape.
+
+"Here you go, Lily. Be careful with the scissors, okay?" her mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She cut the paper and taped it around the gift. It was a book of fairy tales. Lily loved fairy tales and she wanted to share them with her aunt.
+
+She wrote her name on a card and stuck it on the gift. She was proud of her work. She ran to her mom and showed her the gift.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you did a great job! Your aunt will love it!" her mom said.
+
+They went to the car and drove to aunt's house. Lily was happy. She could not wait to see her aunt and give her the gift.
+
+When they arrived, aunt was waiting for them. She hugged Lily and thanked her for coming.
+
+"Happy birthday, aunt! I have a gift for you!" Lily said.
+
+She handed her the gift. Aunt smiled and opened it. She saw the book of fairy tales.
+
+"Oh, Lily, this is wonderful! Thank you so much! I love fairy tales too!" aunt said.
+
+She opened the book and read a story to Lily. They both enjoyed the story and laughed at the funny parts.
+
+Lily was glad. She had made her aunt happy with her gift. She learned that giving is better than receiving. She hugged her aunt and said, "I love you, aunt. You are the best!"
+Lily was a little girl who loved flowers. She liked to pick them and smell them and make crowns for her dolls. One day, she saw a big field of daisies. They were white and yellow and very pretty. She wanted to pick some for her mommy.
+
+She ran to the field and started to pick the daisies. She saw one that was very big and bright. She wanted to reach it, but it was too far. She stretched her arm and stood on her toes, but she could not touch it. She felt anxious. She wanted that daisy very much.
+
+She looked around and saw a big rock. She had an idea. She climbed on the rock and tried to reach the daisy again. She was closer, but still not enough. She leaned forward and reached with her fingers. She almost had it, but then she lost her balance. She fell off the rock and landed on the grass.
+
+She cried out loud. She hurt her knee and her elbow. She was sad and scared. She wanted her mommy. She looked at the daisy. It was still there, but she did not want it anymore. She wanted a hug.
+
+She heard a voice. It was her mommy. She had heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily on the grass and ran to her. She picked her up and hugged her. She kissed her knee and her elbow and wiped her tears. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm here. You are brave and strong. I love you."
+
+Lily felt better. She hugged her mommy back and said, "I love you too, mommy. I'm sorry I fell. I wanted to pick a daisy for you, but it was too hard."
+
+Her mommy smiled and said, "You don't have to pick a daisy for me, Lily. You are my daisy. You are the most beautiful and precious flower in the world." She pointed to the field and said, "Look, there are many daisies here. We can pick some together and make a crown for you. How about that?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She felt happy and safe. She said, "Yes, mommy. Let's do that. Thank you, mommy. You are the best mommy ever." They walked to the field and picked some daisies. They made a crown for Lily and put it on her head. She looked like a princess. They laughed and played and had fun. They forgot about the big daisy and the big rock. They only remembered the big love.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Ben had a red car and Lily had a yellow doll.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I am a fast car!" Ben said.
+
+"Baa, baa, I am a cute sheep!" Lily said.
+
+They laughed and played until their mom came in. She looked at the clock and said, "Kids, it's time to go to bed. You have to keep a good sleep schedule."
+
+Ben and Lily did not want to go to bed. They wanted to play more.
+
+"No, mom, we are not tired. We want to play more!" Ben said.
+
+"Please, mom, just five more minutes. We are having fun!" Lily said.
+
+Mom shook her head and said, "No, kids, you have to go to bed now. It's late and you have school tomorrow. You don't want to be sleepy and stupid in the morning, do you?"
+
+Ben and Lily did not like the word stupid. They knew it was a bad word. They did not want to be stupid. They wanted to be smart and happy.
+
+"Okay, mom, we will go to bed. But can we take our toys with us?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, you can take your toys with you. But you have to put them away in the morning, okay?" Mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom, we will. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." Ben and Lily said.
+
+They hugged their mom and took their toys to their bedroom. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They climbed into their beds and cuddled with their toys.
+
+"Good night, Ben. Good night, Lily. Sweet dreams, my loves." Mom said.
+
+She kissed them on their foreheads and turned off the light. She closed the door and smiled. She was proud of her kids. They were not stupid. They were smart and good. She loved them very much.
+Anna liked to look at the stars at night. She had a big window in her room and a soft bed to lie on. Sometimes she saw a comet, a bright star with a long tail. She thought comets were very pretty and special.
+
+One night, she saw a comet that was bigger and brighter than any other. She ran to her mom and dad and told them to come and see. They followed her to her window and smiled. They said the comet was very rare and would not come back for a long time.
+
+Anna asked them why the comet had a tail. They said it was made of ice and dust that shone in the sun. They said the comet was very fast and traveled far away from the earth. They said the comet reminded them of Anna, because she was also bright and fast and traveled in her dreams.
+
+Anna hugged them and said she loved them. She said she wanted to be like the comet, but also stay with them. They said she could do both, because they would always be in her heart. They kissed her good night and tucked her in her soft bed. She watched the comet until she fell asleep, dreaming of stars and adventures.
+Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to put things in bowls and stir them with a spoon. One day, her mom gave her a bag of prunes and said, "Sara, can you put these prunes in this empty jar for me? They are very good for you and you can have one later."
+
+Sara nodded and opened the bag. She took out a prune and looked at it. It was wrinkly and dark and smelled funny. She did not think it was very good. She put it in the jar and took out another one. She put it in the jar too. She did this until the bag was empty and the jar was full.
+
+She looked at the jar and felt proud. She had helped her mom and done a good job. She wanted to show her mom and get a hug. She picked up the jar and started to walk to the living room. But she did not see the toy car on the floor. She stepped on it and slipped. The jar flew out of her hands and crashed on the floor. The prunes spilled everywhere and the glass broke into pieces.
+
+Sara started to cry. She was scared and sad. She had made a big mess and wasted the prunes. She thought her mom would be angry and not hug her. She heard her mom running to her and saying, "Sara, Sara, are you okay? What happened?"
+
+Sara looked up and saw her mom's face. She was not angry. She was worried and kind. She hugged Sara and said, "It's okay, Sara, it's okay. You are not hurt and that's what matters. The prunes and the jar are not important. We can clean them up later. I love you, Sara, and I'm proud of you for helping me. You are a good girl."
+
+Sara felt better and hugged her mom back. She said, "I love you too, mom. I'm sorry for the mess. I wanted to show you the jar. I did not like the prunes. They are wrinkly and funny."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That's okay, Sara. You don't have to like the prunes. You can have something else later. But you know what? Sometimes wrinkly and funny things are very good for you. Like grandma and grandpa. They are wrinkly and funny, but they love you very much. And so do I."
+
+Sara smiled too and said, "I love grandma and grandpa. They are wrinkly and funny and nice. Can we call them later?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, we can. And maybe we can send them some prunes too. They like them very much."
+
+Sara said, "Okay, mom. But can I have a cookie instead?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, Sara. You can have a cookie. But first, let's clean up this mess together."
+
+Sara said, "Okay, mom. Let's do that." And they did.
+Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. Lily has a big block with a hole in it. Tom has a small block with a stick in it.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can attach my block to your block!" Tom says. He puts the stick in the hole and the blocks stick together.
+
+"Wow, that's cool, Tom!" Lily says. "Can I try?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, here you go." Tom gives Lily his block. Lily attaches it to another block with a hole. Then she attaches another block with a stick. She makes a long chain of blocks.
+
+"Look, Tom, I made a snake!" Lily says. She moves the chain of blocks like a snake.
+
+"That's awesome, Lily!" Tom says. "Can I make one too?"
+
+"Of course, Tom, we have more blocks." Lily says. They look for more blocks with holes and sticks. They make more snakes and other animals.
+
+They have fun playing with blocks until their mom calls them.
+
+"Kids, it's time for lunch!" Mom says. "Come and wash your hands."
+
+"OK, Mom, we're coming!" Lily and Tom say. They put their blocks away and run to the bathroom. They are alert and hungry. They had a good day playing with blocks.
+Lily liked to follow her big brother Ben. She wanted to do everything he did. But Ben did not like it when Lily followed him. He said she was too little and annoying.
+
+One day, Ben was reading a big book in his room. Lily followed him and tried to see what he was reading. Ben got upset and pushed her away. He said, "Go away, Lily! This is not a book for you. It has big words and pictures you don't understand. You can only read baby books."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She ran to the living room and saw a big bookcase. She thought, "Maybe I can find a big book for me here. Then Ben will see I am not a baby." She climbed on a chair and reached for a book on the top shelf. But the book was too heavy and she lost her balance. The book fell on her head and the chair tipped over. Lily cried out loud.
+

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Bob.
+
+"Bob is our friend," Tom said. "He is very lively and happy."
+
+"Yes, he is," Lily agreed. "But he is also cold. We should bring him inside the house."
+
+Tom and Lily tried to lift Bob, but he was too heavy. They pushed and pulled, but he did not move.
+
+"Maybe we can roll him," Tom said. He kicked Bob's bottom and made him roll a little bit.
+
+"Good idea," Lily said. She kicked Bob's bottom too and made him roll more.
+
+They rolled Bob all the way to the door of the house. But the door was too small for Bob. He got stuck.
+
+"Oh no," Tom said. "How can we get him inside?"
+
+"Maybe we can use the chimney," Lily said. She pointed to the big pipe on the roof where the smoke came out.
+
+"OK," Tom said. "But how can we get him up there?"
+
+They looked around and saw a ladder leaning against the wall. They dragged the ladder to the chimney and climbed up with Bob.
+
+They pushed Bob into the chimney and hoped he would slide down. But he did not slide. He got stuck again.
+
+"Bob, why are you so big?" Tom asked.
+
+"Bob, why are you so silly?" Lily asked.
+
+They heard a voice from inside the house. It was their mom.
+
+"Tom, Lily, what are you doing up there?" she asked. "Come down right now!"
+
+"Mom, we are trying to bring Bob inside," Tom said.
+
+"Bob? Who is Bob?" mom asked.
+
+"Our snowman friend," Lily said.
+
+"Your snowman friend?" mom asked. "Are you crazy? You can't bring a snowman inside the house! He will melt and make a mess!"
+
+"But mom, he is cold," Tom said.
+
+"He is supposed to be cold, he is made of snow!" mom said. "Now stop this nonsense and come down!"
+
+Tom and Lily did not want to stop. They wanted to help Bob. They pushed harder and harder, but Bob did not move.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was the fire in the fireplace. It had reached Bob and made him melt. The water and the snow and the hat and the scarf and the carrot nose came down the chimney and splashed all over the living room.
+
+Mom screamed. Tom and Lily cried. Bob was gone.

+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a lot of new rocks on the ground. They run to pick them up and put them in their pockets. They find red rocks, blue rocks, yellow rocks, and even a shiny rock.
+
+"Look, Sam, this rock is shiny like a diamond!" Tim says, holding up his rock.
+
+"Wow, Tim, that is a pretty rock! Can I see it?" Sam says, reaching for the rock.
+
+"No, Sam, this is my rock! I found it first!" Tim says, pulling the rock away.
+
+"Please, Tim, let me see it! I will give you my blue rock!" Sam says, holding up his rock.
+
+"No, Sam, I don't want your blue rock! I want my shiny rock!" Tim says, holding the rock tighter.
+
+They start to argue and tug at the rock. They don't see their mom coming to them.
+
+"Boys, boys, what are you doing?" their mom says, looking at them.
+
+"Mom, Tim won't let me see his shiny rock!" Sam says, pointing at Tim.
+
+"Mom, Sam wants to take my shiny rock!" Tim says, pointing at Sam.
+
+Their mom sighs and takes the rock from them. She looks at it and smiles.
+
+"Boys, this is not a rock. This is a candy!" she says, showing them the wrapper.
+
+"A candy?" they say, surprised.
+
+"Yes, a candy. Someone must have dropped it here. It is a delicious candy. Do you want to share it?" she says, breaking the candy in half.
+
+They look at each other and nod. They take the candy pieces from their mom and put them in their mouths. They taste sweet and crunchy.
+

+
+Her mom hears her and runs after the boy. She catches him and takes the bag from him. She gives it back to Lila and hugs her. She says, "I'm sorry, Lila. That boy was very naughty. He should not take things that are not his."

+
+But some children do not know the answers. They whisper and look at their friends' papers. They do not behave. Miss Lee sees them and is not happy. She says, "Children, you should not cheat on the quiz. You should try your best and learn from your mistakes. Cheating is not good."
+
+The children who cheat feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "We are sorry, Miss Lee. We will not cheat again. We will behave and study hard."
+
+Miss Lee smiles and says, "I am glad you understand. I forgive you. Now, let's finish the quiz and then we can have some fun."
+
+She gives them the last question. She says, "What animal is this? It is big and gray. It has a long trunk and big ears. It is very soft and gentle."

+Tom and Sue are brother and sister. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many birds. They hear the birds sing and chirp.
+
+"Look, Tom, there is a nest on that branch!" Sue says. She points to a round ball of sticks and leaves. "Maybe there are eggs or baby birds inside."
+
+"Let's go and see!" Tom says. He runs to the tree and climbs up. Sue follows him. They are careful not to fall or hurt the birds.
+
+When they reach the nest, they see four blue eggs. They are shiny and smooth. The eggs are warm and cozy. Tom and Sue are happy and curious.
+
+"Hello, eggs!" Tom says softly. "We are Tom and Sue. We are your friends. We want to see you hatch and grow."
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud squawk. They look up and see a big bird flying towards them. It is the mother bird. She is angry and scared. She thinks Tom and Sue want to hurt her eggs.
+
+"Go away, go away!" she shouts. "This is my nest, my babies! You are not welcome here!"
+
+Tom and Sue are scared too. They realize they made a mistake. They did not ask the mother bird for permission. They did not respect her home.
+
+"Sorry, sorry!" they say. "We did not mean to bother you. We just wanted to look. We will leave now."
+
+They quickly climb down the tree and run back to the park. They feel sorry for the mother bird and her eggs. They hope they will be okay.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn to be kind and careful with animals and their homes. They learn to ask before they touch. They learn to say welcome and goodbye.
+Anna and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked to watch them and learn their names.
+
+Then they came to a big pool with ice and snow. There were black and white birds swimming and sliding on the ice. Anna and Ben did not know what they were.
+
+"Mom, what are those birds?" Anna asked.
+
+"Those are penguins, Anna. They live in very cold places and they like to swim and eat fish," mom said.
+
+"Penguins? I like penguins. They are cute and funny," Ben said.
+
+Anna and Ben went closer to the pool and saw a sign that said "Do not feed the penguins". They wondered why.
+
+"Mom, why can't we feed the penguins?" Ben asked.
+
+"Because they have their own food, Ben. And they might get sick if they eat something else," mom said.
+
+"Oh, I see. But can we talk to them?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, you can talk to them. But they might not understand you. And they are very quiet, so you have to be quiet too," mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and whispered to the penguins. They said hello and asked them how they were. They tried to make friends with them.
+
+One of the penguins seemed to recognize them. It came closer to the edge of the pool and looked at them with its round eyes. It made a soft sound, like "peep, peep".
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and said "peep, peep" back. They felt happy and curious. They wanted to learn more about the penguins.
+
+The end.
+Lily loved roses. She liked to look at their pretty colors and smell their sweet scent. She wanted to keep a rose for herself, so she picked one from the garden. She held it in her hand and felt its smooth petals.
+
+But soon, the rose began to wilt. Its petals turned brown and fell off. Its stem became dry and prickly. Lily was sad. She did not understand why the rose was not pretty anymore. She asked her mom, who was watering the other flowers.
+
+"Mom, why did my rose die?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because you picked it, my dear," her mom said. "Roses need water and sun and soil to live. When you keep them away from these things, they cannot grow and bloom. They are happier in the garden, where they can share their beauty with everyone."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt the rose. She wanted to make it happy. She learned that keeping something for herself was not always good. Sometimes, it was better to let it go and enjoy it from afar.
+
+She gave the rose back to the garden. She buried it in the soil and said, "I'm sorry, rose. Thank you for being so pretty. I hope you will grow again and make more roses."
+
+Then, she hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. You are like a rose. You are pretty and sweet and smooth. But I will not keep you. I will share you with everyone."
+
+Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. You are like a rose too. You are bright and lovely and soft. And you have learned a valuable lesson. Keeping is not always caring. Sometimes, caring is letting go."
+Tom and Anna are playing with their toys in the living room. They like to make cars and houses and animals with their blocks and dolls. But they do not like the cable that is on the floor. The cable is from the TV and it is long and black and tangled. Sometimes they trip over the cable and fall down. They hate the cable.
+
+"Mom, can you move the cable?" Tom asks. "It is in the way and we can't play."
+
+Mom is busy in the kitchen. She is making lunch for Tom and Anna. She hears Tom but she can't come right now. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I can't move the cable now. It is plugged in the wall and the TV. If I move it, the TV will turn off. And you like to watch the TV, don't you?"
+
+Tom nods. He likes to watch the TV. He likes to see the cartoons and the songs and the stories. But he likes to play more. He says, "But Mom, the cable is bad. It makes us fall and hurt. Can't you move it later?"
+
+Mom thinks for a moment. She wants to help Tom and Anna. She wants them to be happy and safe. She says, "OK, Tom. I have an idea. How about you and Anna be helpful and help me with the lunch? You can set the table and put the plates and the cups and the forks. And then, after we eat, I will move the cable for you. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Anna think. They like to help Mom. They like to be helpful. They say, "OK, Mom. We will help you with the lunch. And then you will move the cable. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "You're welcome, Tom and Anna. You are very good and sweet. I love you."
+
+Tom and Anna love Mom too. They hug her and then they go to the kitchen. They help Mom with the lunch. They forget about the cable for a while. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big cake on the table. It had candles and sprinkles. It was their birthday!
+
+"Wow, look at the cake!" Lily said. "Can we eat it?"
+
+"Not yet," Ben said. "We have to celebrate first. We have to sing and blow the candles."
+
+They climbed on the chairs and reached for the cake. But the cake was too hard. They could not cut it with their forks. They pushed and pulled, but the cake did not move.
+
+"Uh-oh, this cake is hard," Lily said. "How can we eat it?"
+
+"Maybe we can make it soft," Ben said. He had an idea. He ran to the sink and turned on the water. He filled a cup and poured it on the cake.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm making the cake soft," Ben said. He poured more water on the cake. The cake became wet and mushy. The candles went out and the sprinkles fell off.
+
+"Look, now the cake is soft," Ben said. He scooped some cake with his fork and put it in his mouth. It tasted bad. He spat it out.
+
+"Yuck, this cake is bad," Ben said. "It's not yummy at all."
+
+Lily tried some cake too. She also spat it out.
+
+"Yuck, you're right," Lily said. "This cake is bad. It's not sweet. It's sour."
+
+They looked at the cake. It was ruined. They felt sad. They wanted to celebrate their birthday, but they had no cake.
+
+Just then, their mom came in. She saw the mess on the table and the sink. She saw the twins with sad faces.
+
+"Oh, no, what happened here?" she asked.
+
+"We wanted to eat the cake, but it was hard," Lily said.
+
+"So we tried to make it soft, but it became bad," Ben said.
+
+They told their mom what they did. Their mom smiled and hugged them.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves," she said. "That was not a cake. That was a fake cake. I made it for a joke. I have a real cake for you in the fridge. It's soft and sweet and yummy. Come on, let's go get it and celebrate your birthday."
+
+Lily and Ben cheered up. They followed their mom to the fridge. They saw a real cake with candles and sprinkles. It looked delicious.
+
+"Wow, this is a real cake!" Lily said.
+
+"Can we eat it?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, you can," their mom said. "But first, let's sing and blow the candles."
+
+They sang and blew the candles. They cut the cake and ate it. It was soft and sweet and yummy. They smiled and laughed. They celebrated their birthday. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play store with their toys. Sara was the store lady and Ben was the customer.
+
+"Hello, welcome to my store!" Sara said. "What do you want to buy?"
+
+"I want to buy some coal, please," Ben said. "I need it for my train."
+
+"OK, here you go," Sara said, handing him a black rock. "That will be two pennies, please."
+
+Ben gave her two pennies and put the coal in his toy cart. He was happy with his purchase.
+
+"Thank you, store lady!" he said. "You have a very fancy store!"
+
+"Thank you, customer!" Sara said. "You have a very nice train!"
+
+They smiled at each other and continued to play. They had a lot of fun with their store and their coal.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big ball in the sky. It was very bright and round.
+
+"What is that?" Lila asked Tom.
+
+Tom shrugged. He did not know. He said, "Maybe it is a planet. A planet is a big ball that lives in the sky. Some planets have people and some do not."
+
+Lila nodded. She said, "Maybe we can go to the planet and see. Maybe we can make new friends there."
+
+Tom liked the idea. He said, "How can we go to the planet? We need a rocket. A rocket is a big thing that can fly very fast and go to the sky."
+
+Lila looked around. She saw a big trash can. She said, "Maybe we can use that. It looks like a rocket. We can put it on the hill and push it. Then it will fly to the planet."
+
+Tom agreed. He said, "Let's do it. It will be fun."
+
+They ran to the trash can and dragged it to the hill. They climbed inside and closed the lid. They counted to three and pushed the trash can. The trash can rolled down the hill and went very fast. It was very noisy.
+
+Lila and Tom were happy. They thought they were going to the planet. But they were not. The trash can hit a big tree and broke. Lila and Tom fell out and hurt themselves. They cried and cried. They were not happy. They were not going to the planet. They were going to the hospital.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big map in the library. The map has many colors and shapes. Tom and Mia look at the map.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asks.
+
+"This is a map," Mia says. "It shows different places in the world."
+
+"What are these?" Tom asks, pointing at the shapes.
+
+"These are countries," Mia says. "They are big areas where people live. Each country has a name and a flag."
+
+Tom and Mia look at the names and the flags. They see red, blue, green, yellow, and many other colors. They see stars, stripes, circles, and crosses.
+
+"Which country do you like?" Mia asks.
+
+"I like this one," Tom says, pointing at a shape with a star and a stripe. "It has a cool flag. What is it called?"
+
+"That is America," Mia says. "It is a big country with many people and things. My aunt lives there. She sent me a postcard once."
+
+"Wow," Tom says. "I want to go there. Can we go there?"
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She is serious.
+
+"Maybe," she says. "But we need to ask our parents first. And we need to save money. And we need to take a plane. It is very far away."
+
+Tom nods. He is serious too.
+
+"OK," he says. "Let's ask our parents. And let's save money. And let's take a plane. I want to see America with you."
+
+Mia smiles. She hugs Tom.
+
+"Me too," she says. "You are my best friend."

+Tom and Mia hold hands. They look at the map. They dream of America.
+Lily was a young cat who liked to chew on everything. She chewed on her toys, her food, her blanket, and sometimes even her mom's tail. Her mom always told her to be careful and not chew on things that could hurt her, but Lily was curious and playful.
+
+One day, Lily saw a shiny thing on the floor. It was a coin that her mom had dropped. Lily thought it looked like a fun thing to chew on, so she ran to it and picked it up with her teeth. She felt the metal on her tongue and bit down hard.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried out. The coin was hard and sharp and it hurt her mouth. She dropped it and ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. "Mom, mom, I chewed on a shiny thing and it hurt me!"
+
+Her mom looked at her and saw the blood on her lip. She picked her up and hugged her. "Oh, Lily, you poor thing. You should not chew on shiny things. They are not for cats. They are for people. They use them to buy things. They are called coins."
+
+Lily felt sorry and scared. She did not know what coins were or why people needed them. She only wanted to have fun. She snuggled with her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't chew on shiny things again. Can you make it better?"
+
+Her mom kissed her lip and said, "Yes, I can. I have some ice and some medicine that will help. But you have to promise me to be more careful and listen to me. There are many things in the world that are not for cats, and some of them can be very dangerous. You are still young and you have a lot to learn. But I love you and I will always protect you."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I promise, mom. I love you too. And I love my toys and my food and my blanket and your tail. But I don't love coins. They are bad and they hurt."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That's right, Lily. Coins are not for cats. But you are my precious cat and I'm glad you are okay." She took her to the sofa and gave her some ice and some medicine. Lily felt better and soon fell asleep in her mom's arms. She dreamed of happy things to chew on.
+Tom is a young bird who wants to fly. He has two wings, but they are not strong yet. He sees his friends fly in the sky and he feels sad. He asks his mom, "Mom, when can I fly?"
+
+Mom says, "You have to wait, Tom. Your wings need to grow more. You have to eat well and sleep well and practice every day. Then you will fly soon."
+
+Tom does not like to wait. He thinks he can fly now. He sneaks out of the nest when mom is not looking. He hops on a branch and flaps his wings. He feels the wind on his face and he smiles. He jumps off the branch and tries to fly.
+
+But he cannot fly. He falls down and down and down. He is scared and he cries. He lands on the ground and hurts his leg. He sees a big cat coming near him. The cat has sharp teeth and claws. The cat wants to eat him.
+
+Tom screams, "Help! Help! Mom, help!" Mom hears him and flies fast. She sees the cat and the cat sees her. Mom is brave and angry. She pecks the cat on the nose and makes a loud noise. The cat runs away and mom hugs Tom.
+
+She says, "Tom, are you okay? You were very foolish. You could have died. You have to listen to me. You are not ready to fly yet. You have to be patient and careful."
+
+Tom says, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I wanted to fly like you and my friends. I did not know it was so hard and dangerous. I love you, mom. Thank you for saving me."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Tom. You are my baby. Come on, let's go back to the nest. I will take care of your leg and we will practice flying together when you are better."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big comb in their mom's room. It was shiny and had many teeth.
+
+"Let's comb our hair with this!" Lily said. She took the comb and ran to the mirror.
+
+"Wait for me!" Tom said. He followed her and grabbed the other end of the comb.
+
+They both pulled the comb and tried to comb their hair. But the comb was too big and got stuck in their hair.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" they cried. "This hurts!"
+
+Mom heard their cries and came to see what was wrong. She saw them with the comb in their hair and sighed.
+
+"What are you doing with my comb?" she asked. "This is not a toy. This is for brushing the dog."
+
+She gently untangled the comb from their hair and put it away.
+
+"Sorry, mom," Tom and Lily said. "We just wanted to comb our hair like you."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. "I know, sweeties. But this comb is not for your hair. It is for the dog's hair. The dog has a lot of fur and needs a big comb. You have little hair and need a small comb. Here, I have one for you."
+
+She gave them each a small comb that was soft and harmless. They combed their hair with the small combs and felt happy.
+
+"Thank you, mom," they said. "We like these combs. They are nice."
+
+Mom kissed them and said, "You're welcome, my loves. Now, let's go and play with the dog. He won't complain if you comb his fur with the big comb. He likes it."
+Sara is an adventurous girl. She likes to have fun and try new things. One day, she decides to have a bathtub adventure. She fills the bathtub with water and bubbles. She puts on her swimsuit and goggles. She grabs her rubber duck and her toy boat.
+
+She pretends that the bathtub is a big ocean. She makes waves with her hands and feet. She dives under the water and looks for fish. She sees her rubber duck and says hello. She puts her toy boat on the water and makes it sail. She sings a pirate song and looks for treasure.
+
+She has a lot of fun in her bathtub adventure. She splashes and laughs and plays. She does not want to get out of the water. But then she hears her mom calling her name. She says it is time to dry off and get ready for bed. Sara says okay. She drains the water and takes off her swimsuit and goggles. She wraps herself in a big towel and hugs her rubber duck and her toy boat.
+
+She thanks them for the adventure. She says she will play with them again tomorrow. She goes to her room and puts on her pajamas. She brushes her teeth and combs her hair. She kisses her mom goodnight and climbs into her bed. She closes her eyes and dreams of more bathtub adventures. She is a happy and adventurous girl.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they see a big box in the corner. It is a new freezer. Mom and Dad put food in it.
+
+"Let's see what is inside," Lily says. She pulls a chair and climbs on it. She opens the freezer door. It is very cold. She sees ice cream, pizza, and peas.
+
+"Wow, look at all the yummy things!" she says. She shows Ben the ice cream. "Do you want some?"
+
+Ben nods. He likes ice cream. He climbs on the chair too. He reaches for the ice cream. But it is too high. He can't get it.
+
+"Help me, Lily," he says. He stretches his arm. But he still can't get it.
+
+Lily tries to help him. She pushes the ice cream down. But it is too heavy. It falls out of the freezer. It lands on the floor. It makes a loud noise.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the kitchen. They see Lily and Ben on the chair. They see the ice cream on the floor. They are not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asks. She is angry. "You are not supposed to play with the freezer. It is dangerous. And you made a mess."
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben say. They are scared. They get down from the chair. They look at the ice cream. It is melting.
+
+Mom and Dad sigh. They are not too angry. They know Lily and Ben are curious. They love them.
+
+"Next time, ask us before you open the freezer," Dad says. He is calm. "We will show you what is inside. And we will give you some ice cream. But only after dinner."
+
+"Okay, Dad," Lily and Ben say. They are happy. They hug Mom and Dad. They help them clean the floor. They learn their lesson. They wait for dinner. And for ice cream.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They live next to each other. They like to play together in the yard. One day, a new family moves in the house across the street. They have a big truck and many boxes.
+
+"Who are they?" Tom asks Lily.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are our new neighbors," Lily says.
+
+Tom and Lily are curious. They want to meet the new people. They run across the street and knock on the door. A woman opens the door. She has a smile on her face.
+
+"Hello, kids. What can I do for you?" she says.
+
+"Hi, we are Tom and Lily. We live next to you. We want to say hello and welcome," Tom says.
+
+"That's very nice of you. Thank you. I'm Mrs. Lee. We just moved here from another town. We have a son. His name is Ben. He is three years old, like you. Do you want to meet him?" Mrs. Lee says.
+
+"Yes, please. We like to make new friends," Lily says.
+
+Mrs. Lee invites Tom and Lily inside. She shows them the living room, where Ben is playing with his toys. He has a train set, a teddy bear, and a ball.
+
+"Ben, these are Tom and Lily. They are our new neighbors. They came to say hello and welcome. Can you say hello to them?" Mrs. Lee says.
+
+Ben looks at Tom and Lily. He is shy. He does not say anything. He holds his teddy bear tight.
+
+"Hi, Ben. We are happy to meet you. We like to play with trains and bears and balls. Can we play with you?" Tom says.
+
+Ben nods his head. He smiles a little. He shares his toys with Tom and Lily. They play together for a while. They have fun.
+
+Mrs. Lee watches them. She is glad that Ben has made new friends. She hopes that they will behave well and be kind to each other. She thinks that they will be good neighbors.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. Every night, she would close her eyes and imagine she was in a different place. Sometimes she dreamed she was a princess in a castle, or a pirate on a ship, or a fairy in a forest. She loved to dream because it made her happy and curious.
+
+One night, Lily was dreaming she was a farmer in a big field. She had a red tractor, a brown cow, and a yellow duck. She was having fun driving the tractor, milking the cow, and feeding the duck. She was singing a song and smiling.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was thunder. It was very loud and scary. Lily woke up and opened her eyes. She saw dark clouds and flashes of light in the sky. She heard rain and wind outside her window. She felt sad and scared. She wanted to go back to her dream, but she could not. She was frustrated.
+
+She got out of her bed and ran to her mom and dad's room. She knocked on the door and said, "Mom, Dad, I'm scared of the thunder. Can I sleep with you?" Her mom and dad opened the door and hugged her. They said, "Of course, Lily. Come in, we'll keep you safe and warm." They took her to their bed and tucked her in. They told her stories and sang her songs. They said, "Don't worry, Lily. The thunder will go away soon. And you can dream again tomorrow." Lily felt better and calmed down. She closed her eyes and snuggled with her mom and dad. She fell asleep and dreamed of a sunny day.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the mud. They made mud pies, mud castles and mud monsters. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of mess.
+
+One day, their mom told them to go inside and take a bath. She gave them each a clean towel and said, "Don't forget to wash behind your ears and dry yourselves well. And don't make the bathroom dirty, please."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded and ran to the bathroom. They filled the tub with water and soap and jumped in. They splashed and scrubbed and rinsed. They used their towels to make turbans and capes and masks. They pretended to be pirates and ninjas and superheroes.
+
+But they also forgot to be careful. They left the water running and the soap on the floor. They threw their towels on the sink and the toilet. They made the bathroom wet and slippery and dirty.
+
+When their mom came to check on them, she was very angry. She saw the mess and said, "What have you done? Look at this bathroom! It's a disaster! How could you be so careless and naughty?"
+
+Tim and Sam felt guilty. They knew they had done something bad. They looked at each other and said, "We're sorry, mom. We were just having fun. We didn't mean to make the bathroom dirty."
+
+Their mom sighed and said, "I know you were having fun, but you also have to be responsible. You have to clean up after yourselves and respect the things you use. You have to remind yourselves to be good boys. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will help you clean the bathroom. And we will remind ourselves to be good boys."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "Thank you, boys. I love you, but I also want you to learn from your mistakes. Now, let's get this bathroom clean and dry. And then, we can have some cookies and milk."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big bed with a soft mattress.
+
+One day, it rains a lot. The rain makes noise on the roof. Anna and Ben are bored. They cannot go outside. They wonder what to do.
+
+"Let's make a fort with the mattress!" Ben says. He has an idea. He pulls the mattress off the bed. He puts it on the floor. He covers it with a blanket. He says, "This is our fort. We can hide here from the rain."
+
+Anna likes the idea. She crawls under the blanket. She says, "This is cozy. We can pretend we are in a cave." She brings some toys and books. They play and read in the fort.
+
+But soon, they feel something wet. The mattress is wet. The rain is leaking from the roof. It drips on the mattress. Anna and Ben are surprised. They do not like the wet mattress. They say, "Ew! This is yucky. We need to get out of here."
+
+They crawl out of the fort. They see a big puddle on the floor. They see a hole in the ceiling. They say, "Oh no! The roof is broken. We need to tell Mommy and Daddy."
+
+They run to the living room. They find Mommy and Daddy. They tell them what happened. Mommy and Daddy are worried. They say, "Thank you for telling us. We need to fix the roof. And we need to dry the mattress. We are sorry you cannot play in your room."
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They say, "We are sorry too. We liked our fort. But we do not like the wet mattress. Can we play somewhere else?"
+
+Mommy and Daddy smile. They say, "Of course you can. You can play in the kitchen. You can help us make cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and Ben smile too. They say, "That sounds fun. We like cookies. And we like helping you. Can we still pretend we are in a cave?"
+
+Mommy and Daddy laugh. They say, "Sure you can. As long as you do not make a mess. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."
+
+Anna and Ben follow them. They forget about the rain and the wet mattress. They wonder what kind of cookies they will make. They are happy.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with their toys. Tim has a big engine that can ride on the tracks. Sam has a small engine that can ride on the floor.
+
+One day, Tim and Sam are playing in Tim's room. Tim puts his engine on the tracks and makes it go fast. Sam puts his engine on the floor and makes it go slow.
+
+"Look at my engine!" Tim says. "It is big and fast and loud!"
+
+"Look at my engine!" Sam says. "It is small and slow and quiet!"
+
+Tim and Sam laugh. They like their engines.
+
+But then, Tim's engine stops. It does not go fast anymore. It does not make any sound. Tim tries to make it go, but it does not work.
+
+"Oh no!" Tim says. "My engine is broken! What can I do?"
+
+Sam sees that Tim is sad. He wants to help. He has an idea.
+
+"Maybe my engine can help your engine!" Sam says. "Maybe it can push your engine on the tracks!"
+
+Tim thinks that is a good idea. He says thank you to Sam. Sam puts his engine behind Tim's engine. He makes it go. His engine pushes Tim's engine on the tracks. Tim's engine starts to go again. It makes sound again.
+
+"Yay!" Tim and Sam say. "Your engine is helpful! It fixed my engine!"
+
+Tim and Sam are happy. They hug their engines. They hug each other. They play with their engines together. They are good friends.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had a notebook with many pages. She drew flowers, stars, animals and people. She was very happy with her notebook.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Lily, it is time to clean your room. You have many toys and books on the floor. Please put them away in your box or shelf."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will clean my room." She started to pick up her toys and books. She saw her notebook on the floor. She opened it and looked at her drawings. She smiled and said, "I like my notebook. It is smooth and nice."
+
+She put her notebook on her bed and continued to clean her room. She did not see that her little brother, Tom, came into her room. Tom was curious and saw the notebook on the bed. He picked it up and said, "What is this? It is smooth and nice."
+
+He opened the notebook and saw the drawings. He liked the colors and shapes. He said, "I want to draw too." He took a crayon and started to scribble on the pages. He did not care that he was ruining Lily's drawings.
+
+Lily finished cleaning her room and went to her bed. She saw Tom with her notebook and crayon. She saw what he had done to her drawings. She was very angry and sad. She shouted, "Tom, what did you do? You ruined my notebook! You are bad!"
+
+Tom was scared and dropped the notebook and crayon. He ran away and said, "Sorry, Lily. I did not know. I just wanted to draw."
+
+Lily picked up her notebook and cried. She hugged it and said, "My notebook. My drawings. They are gone." She wished she had put her notebook away in a safe place. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to take care of her things and to not leave them where others can touch them. She also learned to forgive her brother, who did not mean to hurt her. She hoped he would learn to ask before he used her things. She hoped they could still be friends.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play pretend games. One day, they decided to play doctor and patient. Lily put on a white coat and a stethoscope. Sam lay down on the couch and pretended to be sick.
+
+"Hello, I am Doctor Lily. What is wrong with you, patient Sam?" Lily asked.
+
+"I have a tummy ache and a sore throat. And I feel very hot," Sam said.
+
+Doctor Lily checked Sam's temperature, listened to his heart, and looked at his throat. She nodded and said, "You have a fever and a cold. You need to take some medicine and rest."
+
+She gave Sam a spoonful of honey and a glass of water. She also gave him a sticker and a hug. "You will feel better soon. You are a brave patient," she said.
+
+Sam smiled and thanked Doctor Lily. He felt a little better. He also felt happy that Lily was his friend. He said, "You are a good doctor, Lily. You are kind and helpful. And you are playful too. You make me laugh."
+
+Lily and Sam hugged again. They learned that playing doctor and patient was fun. They also learned that being caring and friendly was important. They decided to play another game tomorrow.
+Lily liked to play with her toys, but she was bored. She had played with all of them many times. She wanted to do something new and fun. She looked out the window and saw the sun shining bright. She had an idea.
+
+She ran to her room and got her shiny necklace. It was a gift from her daddy. He said it was very special and she should take good care of it. She put it on and went outside. She wanted to see how it sparkled in the sun.
+
+She found a spot where the sun was shining on the grass. She held her necklace up and moved it around. She saw the light make different colors on the ground. She smiled and laughed. She felt like a fairy.
+
+She heard a voice behind her. It was her daddy. He had come home from work. He saw her playing with her necklace and smiled. He walked over to her and hugged her.
+
+"Hello, my little fairy," he said. "Are you having fun?"
+
+"Yes, daddy," she said. "Look, my necklace makes rainbows."
+
+He looked and nodded. "It does. It's very beautiful. Just like you."
+
+He kissed her cheek and took her hand. "Do you want to go inside and have a snack?"
+
+She nodded. She was hungry. She followed him inside. She was not bored anymore. She was happy.
+Jill liked to bounce on her big red ball. She bounced up and down, left and right, all over the yard. She felt happy and free when she bounced.
+
+One day, she saw a new girl next door. She had a book in her hand and glasses on her nose. She looked smart and quiet. Jill wanted to be her friend.
+
+She bounced over to the fence and said hello. The new girl smiled and said hello back. She told Jill her name was Meg. She said she liked to read and write. She said she was learning to spell.
+
+Jill felt nervous. She did not know how to spell. She only knew how to bounce. She thought Meg would not like her. She bounced away, feeling sad.
+
+Meg saw Jill bounce away. She felt sorry. She liked Jill. She thought she was fun and brave. She wanted to be her friend.
+
+She ran after Jill and called her name. She showed her the book. She said it was a story about a girl who bounced on a ball. She said she would read it to Jill. She said they could bounce and spell together.
+
+Jill felt happy. She liked Meg. She thought she was smart and kind. She wanted to be her friend.
+
+She bounced back to the fence and said yes. She said they could read and write. She said they could bounce and spell together.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big maze made of green bushes. They wanted to go inside and find the way out.
+
+"Can we go, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but stay together and don't get lost," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben ran into the maze. They turned left and right and followed the paths. They saw flowers and birds and bugs. They had fun.
+
+But then, Ben saw a hole in the bushes. He was curious. He wanted to see what was behind it.
+
+"Look, Lily, a hole!" Ben said.
+
+"Let's go back, Ben. Mom said to stay on the path," Lily said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He was naughty. He crawled through the hole and left Lily alone.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not know where Ben went. She did not know how to get out of the maze. She started to cry.
+
+"Ben, where are you? Ben, come back!" Lily shouted.
+
+But Ben did not hear her. He was on the other side of the maze. He saw a pond with ducks and frogs. He wanted to play with them.
+
+"Hello, ducks. Hello, frogs. My name is Ben," Ben said.
+
+But the ducks and the frogs did not like Ben. He was too loud and too rude. He splashed the water and threw stones. He scared them away.
+
+"Go away, Ben. You are naughty. You are not our friend," the ducks and the frogs said.
+
+Ben was sad. He did not have any friends. He missed Lily. He wanted to go back to her.
+
+But he did not know how. He was lost in the maze. He started to cry.
+
+"Lily, where are you? Lily, help me!" Ben shouted.
+
+But Lily did not hear him. She was on the other side of the maze. She was looking for Ben. She was worried.
+
+"Ben, where are you? Ben, I'm sorry!" Lily shouted.
+
+Then, Mom heard them. She was outside the maze. She followed their voices. She found Lily and Ben. She hugged them.
+
+"Lily, Ben, I'm here. I'm glad you're safe," Mom said.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry. We were naughty. We did not stay together. We got lost," Lily and Ben said.
+
+"It's OK, my loves. I forgive you. But next time, listen to me and follow the rules. The maze is not a place to be naughty. It's a place to be careful and smart," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They said goodbye to the maze. They went home with Mom. They were happy.
+One day, Tom and his mom went to the zoo. Tom loved to see all the different animals. He saw big cats, long snakes, and funny monkeys. He wanted to see more and more.
+
+Then, he saw a big gray animal with a long nose and two big horns. He had never seen it before. He asked his mom, "What is that?"
+
+Mom said, "That is a rhino. It is a very strong and amazing animal. It can use its horns to protect itself from other animals."
+
+Tom was very curious. He wanted to see the rhino up close. He ran to the fence and pointed at the rhino. He said, "Look, mom, look! It has horns!"
+
+But the rhino did not like Tom pointing at it. It thought Tom was a threat. It snorted and charged at the fence. It hit the fence with its horns and made a loud noise.
+
+Tom was scared. He ran back to his mom and hugged her. He said, "Sorry, mom, sorry. I did not mean to make the rhino angry."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay, Tom. The rhino was just defending itself. You have to be careful and respectful when you see wild animals. They are amazing, but they are not toys. You can look at them, but do not point or touch them."
+
+Tom nodded. He learned his lesson. He said, "I understand, mom. I will be more careful next time. Can we see more animals?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Of course, Tom. There are many more animals to see. Come on, let's go."
+Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big hose and a small hose. Lily has the big hose and Ben has the small hose. They spray water at each other and laugh. They make rainbows in the sun.
+
+Lily sees a red flower. She likes red flowers. She wants to spray the red flower with water. She runs to the flower with the big hose. Ben follows her with the small hose. He wants to spray the flower too.
+
+But the flower is not a flower. It is a bug. A big bug with wings and a sting. The bug does not like water. The bug is angry. The bug makes a loud buzz. The bug flies out of the flower. The bug sees Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the hoses and run. The bug chases them. The bug wants to sting them. Lily and Ben scream. They run to the house. They slam the door.
+
+Mum hears the scream. She comes to the door. She sees Lily and Ben. They are wet and scared. She sees the bug. The bug is outside the door. The bug is still angry. The bug still wants to sting.
+
+Mum has a can. The can has a spray. The spray is not water. The spray is bad for bugs. Mum opens the door. She sprays the bug with the can. The bug falls to the ground. The bug is gone.
+
+Lily and Ben hug Mum. They are safe. They are happy. Mum hugs them back. She is proud. She says they are brave. She says they need a treat. She takes them to the kitchen. She makes them a tasty snack. They eat the snack and smile. They forget the bug. They remember the rainbows.
+Lily liked to swim in the pool with her big sister, Mia. Mia had a license to swim, because she was very good at it. Lily wanted a license too, but she was still learning. She had a floaty that helped her stay up in the water.
+
+One day, Lily saw a frog in the pool. It was green and brown and had big eyes. Lily thought it was ugly. She pointed at it and said, "Look, Mia, a frog!"
+
+Mia looked at the frog and smiled. She said, "That's not a frog, Lily. That's a prince. If you kiss him, he will turn into a handsome boy."
+
+Lily did not believe Mia. She said, "No, it's a frog. And I don't want to kiss it. It's ugly and slimy."
+
+Mia said, "OK, then I will kiss it. Maybe he will give me a present. Or maybe he will teach me a new swim trick."
+
+Mia swam closer to the frog and puckered her lips. But before she could kiss it, the frog jumped out of the water and landed on Lily's head. Lily screamed and splashed. The frog croaked and hopped away.
+
+Mia laughed and said, "Oops, sorry, Lily. I guess he didn't like me. Maybe you should try to kiss him next time."
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I don't want a frog prince. I just want a license to swim."
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a large cage with many birds inside. The birds were sad and scared. They wanted to fly free.
+
+"Look, Tom, a dove!" Sara said, pointing to a white bird. "She is so pretty. I wish we could help her."
+
+"Me too," Tom said. "Maybe we can open the cage and let her out."
+
+They looked around and saw no one watching. They ran to the cage and tried to lift the door. It was heavy and locked. They pulled and pushed, but it did not move.
+
+"Stop!" a voice shouted. It was the man who owned the birds. He was angry and ran towards them. "What are you doing? Leave my birds alone!"
+
+Sara and Tom were scared. They let go of the door and ran away. The man chased them, but they were faster. They escaped.
+
+The dove saw them running. She felt sorry for them. She wished she could run too. She looked at the cage door. It was slightly open. The children had moved it a little. She saw a chance. She pushed the door with her beak and squeezed through the gap. She escaped.
+
+She flew out of the cage and into the sky. She felt happy and free. She saw Sara and Tom hiding behind a tree. She flew over them and cooed. They looked up and smiled. They were happy too. They waved at the dove and thanked her. The dove waved back and flew away.

+"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot it here," Tim says.
+
+"Maybe we can have a bite. Just a little one. No one will notice," Jen says.
+
+Tim and Jen look around. They do not see anyone. They sneak to the bench. They each take a fork. They dig into the cake.
+
+The cake is very sweet. They eat more and more. They forget about the slide. They forget about the park. They only think about the cake.
+
+Soon, they finish the whole cake. They lick their forks. They feel happy. But not for long.
+
+They hear a loud voice. It is a man. He is angry. He is holding a bag of candles and a card. He is looking for his cake.
+
+"Hey! What have you done to my cake? That was for my daughter's birthday! How could you eat it all? You are very naughty!" he shouts.
+
+Tim and Jen feel scared. They feel sorry. They feel sick. They have a tummy ache. They wish they did not eat the cake.
+
+The man calls their parents. Their parents come to the park. They are not happy. They scold Tim and Jen. They make them apologize to the man and his daughter. They take them home. They do not let them play in the park for a week.
+
+Tim and Jen learn a lesson. They learn to not take things that are not theirs. They learn to not be greedy. They learn to respect other people's feelings. They learn to be good.
+Sara and Ben liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells and rocks. One day, they found a big metal thing in the sand. It was an anchor. Sara thought it was beautiful. It had a shiny point and a round ring.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sara said. "Can we keep it?"
+
+Ben was not sure. He thought the anchor was heavy and old. He saw some rust and dirt on it. He thought it might be dangerous.
+
+"I don't know, Sara," he said. "Maybe we should leave it here. It looks like it belongs to a boat."
+
+Sara did not accept Ben's answer. She wanted the anchor. She thought it was a treasure. She pulled on the ring and tried to lift it.
+
+"Come on, Ben, help me!" she said. "We can take it home and show Mom and Dad. They will be so proud of us!"
+
+Ben did not want to make Sara sad. He liked Sara. He was her brother. He decided to help her. He grabbed the point and pushed it up.
+
+Together, they lifted the anchor. It was very heavy. They carried it to their wagon. They put it inside. They started to pull the wagon to their house.
+
+But the wagon was too heavy. The wheels got stuck in the sand. The wagon tipped over. The anchor fell out. It landed on Sara's foot. Sara screamed. She felt a lot of pain. She saw blood. She cried.
+
+Ben was scared. He dropped the anchor. He ran to Sara. He tried to help her. He called for Mom and Dad.
+
+But it was too late. Sara's foot was broken. She had to go to the hospital. She had to wear a cast. She could not play on the beach anymore. She was very sad.
+
+The anchor was not a treasure. It was a trap. Sara and Ben learned a hard lesson. They wished they had left it in the sand.
+Anna and Ben love to play music. They have a big drum, a small flute, and a shiny bell. They make sounds with their mouths and feet too. They like to play music with rhythm. Rhythm is when sounds go fast and slow, loud and soft, in a pattern.
+
+One day, they decide to play music outside. They find a big rock, a stick, and a metal can. They use them to make new sounds. They bang, tap, and shake them. They have fun making rhythm with their new instruments.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. The dog is dirty and furry. He barks and runs towards them. He wants to play too. He jumps on the rock, the stick, and the can. He makes them fall and roll. He makes loud and messy sounds.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They run away from the dog. They drop their drum, flute, and bell. They hide behind a tree. They are sad. They think their music is ruined.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is their mom. She comes with a leash. She catches the dog. She says, "I'm sorry, kids. This is Rover. He is my friend's dog. He is very friendly, but he doesn't know how to play music. He just likes to make noise."
+
+She gives them their drum, flute, and bell. She says, "You can play music again. But maybe you can teach Rover some rhythm too. He might like it."
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They say, "OK, mom. We will try. Come on, Rover. Let's play music together."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw dark clouds in the sky and heard thunder. They ran inside and asked their mom what was happening.
+
+"Mom, why is the sky angry?" Lily asked.
+
+"It's not angry, sweetie. It's just going to rain soon. Rain is water that falls from the sky and makes the plants and animals happy," mom explained.
+
+"Can we play in the rain, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe later, when the thunder is gone. For now, why don't we look at some pictures of when you were babies?" mom suggested.
+
+She took out a big book with many photos and opened it on the couch. Tom and Lily cuddled with mom and looked at the pictures. They saw themselves in diapers, in bathtubs, in costumes, and in parks. They laughed and pointed at the funny faces they made.
+
+"Mom, this is a memory, right?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, honey. A memory is something that you remember from before. Memories can make you happy or sad or both. Do you have a favorite memory?" mom asked.
+
+"I like this one, when we went to the zoo and saw the lions and the monkeys and the elephants," Lily said.
+
+"I like this one, when we had a big cake and balloons and presents for our birthday," Tom said.
+
+"Those are wonderful memories. I'm happy that you have them. I love you both very much," mom said.
+
+"We love you too, mom," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged mom and kept looking at the pictures until the rain stopped and the sun came out. Then they put on their boots and jackets and ran outside to play in the puddles. They splashed and jumped and sang. They made new memories that day.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pretty dress and long hair. Lily always took Anna with her when she went to the park.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new girl at the park. Her name was Mia. Mia had a doll too, but it was different from Lily's. Mia's doll had a green dress and a lime in her hand. Lily had never seen a lime before. She thought it looked like a small ball.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" Lily asked Mia.
+
+"Hi, I'm Mia. This is my doll, Lila. She likes limes. Do you want to play with us?" Mia asked Lily.
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to play with Mia and Lila. But she also wanted to hold the lime. She wondered what it felt like and what it tasted like. She was jealous of Lila's lime.
+
+"Can I hold your lime?" Lily asked Mia.
+
+"Sure, you can hold it for a little bit. But be careful, it's sour." Mia said. She gave Lily the lime.
+
+Lily took the lime and squeezed it. She felt the juice on her fingers. She brought the lime to her mouth and licked it. She made a funny face. The lime was very sour. It made her tongue hurt.
+
+"Yuck! I don't like limes. They are too sour." Lily said. She gave the lime back to Mia.
+
+Mia laughed. "That's okay. Limes are not for everyone. Do you want to play something else?" Mia asked Lily.
+
+Lily smiled. She forgot about the lime. She was happy to have a new friend. She hugged Anna and said, "Yes, let's play something else. How about tea party?"
+
+Mia nodded. She hugged Lila and said, "Yes, let's play tea party. I have some cookies and milk. Do you want some?"
+
+Lily and Mia played tea party with their dolls. They shared their cookies and milk. They had a lot of fun. They were not jealous of each other anymore. They were friends.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to search for it in the grass or behind the trees.
+
+One time, the ball went over the fence and into the street. Anna and Ben ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw it on the other side, near a big car. Anna wanted to get the ball back. She said to Ben, "I will grab the ball. You stay here."
+
+Ben said, "No, Anna, don't go. The street is dangerous. There are many cars and they go fast. They can hurt you. Wait for mom or dad to help us."
+
+But Anna did not listen to Ben. She was not scared of the cars. She thought she was fast and smart. She climbed over the fence and ran to the ball. She did not look left or right. She did not see the car that was coming. The car did not see her either. It was too late.
+
+There was a loud noise and a scream. Ben saw Anna fall to the ground. He saw blood and tears. He was very scared and sad. He cried and cried. He wished he could help Anna. He wished Anna had listened to him.
+
+The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends and be careful of the street. The street is not a place to play. The street can be very dangerous.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys in the living room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, and books. They are organized. They put each toy in a box with a label.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily want to play with the same toy. It is a big truck with lights and sounds. Tom says, "I want the truck. It is mine." Lily says, "No, it is mine. I saw it first." They fight over the truck. They pull and push and shout.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees Tom and Lily fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting. You have to share. There are many toys to play with. Why do you want the same one?"
+
+Tom and Lily stop fighting. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were not nice." Mom says, "It's okay. I'm glad you are sorry. Now, can you play nicely together?"
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They look at the toys. They see a big tent under the table. It is made of blankets and pillows. They think it is fun. They say, "Let's play in the tent. We can pretend we are camping." They take the truck and some other toys. They go to the tent. They play nicely together. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She smiles and says, "That's better. Have fun in the tent."
+Lily loved jazz music. She liked to listen to the saxophone and the piano and the drums. She liked to dance and clap and sing along. She had a jazz CD that her dad gave her for her birthday. She played it every day in her room.
+
+One day, her friend Sam came over to play. Sam saw the jazz CD and asked Lily, "What is this?"
+
+"This is jazz music. It is my favorite. Do you want to listen?" Lily said.
+
+Sam nodded. Lily put the CD in the player and turned it on. They listened to the jazz music and danced and clapped and sang along. Sam liked it too. He said, "This is fun. Can I lend your jazz CD? I want to play it at home."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She loved her jazz CD. She did not want to give it away. But she also liked Sam. He was her friend. She said, "OK, you can lend my jazz CD. But you have to bring it back tomorrow. Promise?"
+
+Sam promised. He thanked Lily and took the jazz CD. He said, "Bye, Lily. See you tomorrow."
+
+Lily said, "Bye, Sam. Have fun."
+
+But after Sam left, Lily felt sad. She missed her jazz CD. She wanted to listen to it again. She felt miserable. She did not want to play with anything else. She sat on her bed and cried.
+
+Her mom heard her crying and came to her room. She asked, "What's wrong, Lily?"
+
+Lily told her mom what happened. She said, "I lent Sam my jazz CD. But I miss it. I want it back."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I know, Lily. It is hard to share something you love. But you did a nice thing for Sam. He is your friend. And he will bring it back tomorrow. You can listen to it then. How about we listen to some other music now? Maybe something you haven't heard before?"
+
+Lily nodded. She wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "OK, mom. Let's listen to some other music. Maybe I will like it too."
+
+Her mom took her to the living room and turned on the radio. They found a station that played classical music. They listened to the violin and the cello and the flute. They danced and clapped and sang along. Lily liked it too. She said, "This is nice. Thank you, mom."
+
+Her mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you're happy. And tomorrow, you can listen to your jazz CD again. And maybe you can teach Sam some new dance moves."
+
+Lily laughed. She said, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun."
+Sara and Ben wanted to decorate the big tree in the yard. They had many shiny things to hang on the branches. They had red balls, silver stars, and yellow ribbons. They also had a big star for the top of the tree.
+
+They used a ladder to reach the high parts of the tree. Sara climbed up first and put the big star on the top. Then she helped Ben hang the other shiny things. They made the tree look very pretty and bright.
+
+When they were done, they went inside to have some cocoa. Mom had made a big pot of hot cocoa with marshmallows. She poured some in two cups and gave them to Sara and Ben. They sat on the couch and sipped their cocoa. It was very yummy and warm.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise from outside. They ran to the window and saw something terrible. The wind had blown very hard and knocked down the big tree. All the shiny things were broken and scattered on the ground. The big star was bent and twisted.
+
+Sara and Ben felt very sad. They had worked so hard to decorate the tree and now it was ruined. Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. We can decorate another tree tomorrow. The most important thing is that we are safe and together. And we still have some cocoa left." She smiled and kissed them. Sara and Ben smiled too. They knew Mom was right. They still had each other and some cocoa. And that was enough.
+Tom likes to play ball with his dad. They go to the park and find a big field. Dad gives Tom a bat and a helmet. He says, "I will throw the ball to you and you try to hit it."
+
+Tom puts on the helmet and holds the bat. He walks to the pitch, where there is a white line. Dad says, "This is where you stand. Look at me and wait for the ball." Tom nods and stands on the line. He feels nervous. He hopes he can hit the ball.
+
+Dad stands far away and holds the ball. He says, "Ready?" Tom says, "Yes." Dad throws the ball to Tom. Tom sees the ball coming fast. He swings the bat and hits the ball. The ball flies in the air and lands on the grass. Tom is happy. He drops the bat and runs to the ball.
+
+Dad claps and cheers. He says, "Good hit, Tom! You did it!" Tom picks up the ball and smiles. He runs back to Dad and gives him a hug. He says, "Thank you, Dad. That was fun!" Dad says, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a great ball player!" They hug and laugh. They play some more and have a good time.
+Anna loved horses. She liked to watch them run and jump and eat grass. She wanted to ride a horse, but she was too small. Her big sister, Lily, could ride a horse. Lily had a friend who had a stable with many horses. Lily's friend invited Lily and Anna to visit the stable.
+
+Anna was very happy. She put on her boots and her hat and her coat. She followed Lily and her friend to the stable. She saw many horses of different colors and sizes. She heard them neigh and snort and stomp. She smelled the hay and the dirt and the horse hair. She wanted to touch a horse, but she was afraid.
+
+Lily's friend saw Anna's face. She smiled and said, "Do you want to meet a horse, Anna? I have a very nice horse for you. He is small and gentle and clean. He likes children. His name is Sparky. Come with me, I will show you."
+
+She took Anna's hand and led her to a stall. There was a brown horse with a white star on his forehead. He looked at Anna with big, soft eyes. He nuzzled her hand with his nose. Anna giggled and stroked his mane. She felt his warm breath and his soft fur. She was not afraid anymore.
+
+"Can I ride him?" Anna asked.
+
+"Of course you can," Lily's friend said. "I will help you. He is very good at carrying children. He will not go too fast or too far. He will listen to you. Do you want to try?"
+
+Anna nodded. She was very excited. She climbed on a stool and then on Sparky's back. Lily's friend held the reins and walked beside them. Lily took a picture with her phone. Anna felt like she was flying. She smiled and said, "Thank you for inviting me. I love Sparky. He is the best horse ever."
+Tim and Mia are playing with their toys in the garden. They have many cubes of different colors that they can stack and build with. They also have a spray bottle filled with water that they can use to make rainbows in the sun.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a tower with the cubes!" Tim says, showing his friend his creation. "It is very tall and strong."
+
+"That is nice, Tim, but I made a house with the cubes!" Mia says, pointing to her own structure. "It has a door and a window and a roof."
+
+They both admire each other's work and smile. Then Tim has an idea. He picks up the spray bottle and says, "Do you want to see something fun, Mia?"
+
+"What is it, Tim?" Mia asks, curious.
+
+Tim sprays some water in the air and says, "Look, Mia, a rainbow! The water and the sun make a rainbow!"
+
+Mia gasps and claps her hands. She sees the beautiful colors in the sky and says, "Wow, Tim, that is amazing! Can I try?"
+
+"Sure, Mia, here you go!" Tim says, handing her the spray bottle. "There is still some water available. You can make your own rainbow!"
+
+Mia takes the spray bottle and sprays some water in the air. She sees another rainbow and laughs. She says, "Thank you, Tim, this is so much fun! We can make rainbows with the water and the sun!"
+
+They take turns spraying water and making rainbows. They also spray some water on their cubes and make them shiny and wet. They have a great time playing with their toys and the spray bottle in the garden. They are happy and proud of their rainbows and their cubes.
+Lily and Ben went to the toy store with Mom. They saw many toys they liked. Lily wanted a doll and Ben wanted a car. Mom said they could each choose one toy.
+
+Lily and Ben picked their toys and went to the counter. Mom took out a card from her purse. She gave it to the lady who worked at the store. The lady put the card in a machine and gave it back to Mom. Mom said, "Thank you, we paid with the card."
+
+Lily and Ben were happy with their toys. They walked out of the store with Mom. But then, Ben saw something on the floor. It was another card. It looked like Mom's card, but it was not. Ben picked up the card and showed it to Mom.
+
+"Mom, look, another card!" Ben said.
+
+Mom looked at the card and saw that it belonged to someone else. She said, "Oh, this is not our card. This is someone else's card. They must have dropped it by mistake. We should give it back to the lady at the store. That is the honest thing to do."
+
+Lily and Ben agreed with Mom. They went back to the store and gave the card to the lady. The lady was very grateful. She said, "Thank you, you are very honest and kind. You saved me a lot of trouble. This card is very important. It has a lot of money on it. Here, take these stickers as a reward."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and thanked the lady. They took the stickers and put them on their toys. They learned that being honest is good and makes people happy. They hugged Mom and went home.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big mug under a bush. The mug is deep and has a picture of a cat on it.
+
+"Look, a mug!" Anna says. "Maybe it is magic."
+
+"Let's see what is inside," Ben says. He lifts the mug and looks inside. He sees something shiny.
+
+"Wow, a coin!" he says. He takes the coin and shows it to Anna.
+
+"Can I see?" Anna asks. She reaches for the coin, but Ben pulls it away.
+
+"No, it is mine!" he says. "I found it first."
+
+Anna is sad. She wants to see the coin too. She thinks Ben is not nice.
+
+"Please, Ben, share with me," she says. "We are twins. We should share everything."
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He likes Anna, but he also likes the coin. He does not know what to do.
+
+He hears a voice in his ear. It is very soft and quiet. It is a whisper.
+
+"Ben, Ben, listen to me," the voice says. "I am the cat on the mug. I can make your wish come true. But you have to do something for me first. You have to give the coin to Anna. Then you can make a wish."
+
+Ben is surprised. He looks at the mug. He sees the cat's eyes. They are bright and green.
+
+"Is that you, cat?" he asks. "Are you talking to me?"
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is me," the voice says. "Trust me. Give the coin to Anna. Then you can make a wish."
+
+Ben is curious. He wonders what he can wish for. He thinks of many things. He thinks of toys, candy, books, and games. He thinks of a bike, a puppy, a castle, and a rocket.
+
+He looks at Anna. She is still sad. She is looking at the ground. She does not know about the cat.
+
+Ben feels sorry for her. He remembers that they are twins. He remembers that they love each other.
+
+He makes a decision. He gives the coin to Anna.
+
+"Here, Anna, you can have it," he says. "I am sorry I was not nice. You can see the coin."
+
+Anna is happy. She smiles and hugs Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," she says. "You are nice. I love you."
+
+She looks at the coin. She sees it is shiny and round. She likes it.
+
+She hears a voice in her ear. It is very soft and quiet. It is a whisper.
+
+"Anna, Anna, listen to me," the voice says. "I am the cat on the mug. I can make your wish come true. But you have to do something for me first. You have to give the coin back to Ben. Then you can make a wish."
+
+Anna is surprised. She looks at the mug. She sees the cat's eyes. They are bright and green.
+
+She looks at Ben. He is happy. He is looking at her. He does not know about the cat.
+
+She thinks of what she can wish for. She thinks of many things. She thinks of dolls, flowers, books, and games. She thinks of a dress, a kitten, a palace, and a rainbow.
+
+She makes a decision. She gives the coin back to Ben.
+
+"Here, Ben, you can have it back," she says. "I am sorry I was greedy. You found it first."
+
+Ben is happy. He smiles and hugs Anna.
+
+"Thank you, Anna," he says. "You are nice. I love you."
+
+They both hear a voice in their ears. It is very soft and quiet. It is a whisper.
+
+"Ben and Anna, you are both very good," the voice says. "You have passed my test. You have learned to share and care. You can both make a wish now. But you have to do it together. Hold the coin and say your wish out loud."
+
+Ben and Anna are excited. They hold the coin and look at each other. They think of what they want to wish for. They think of many things. But they only want one thing.
+
+They say their wish out loud.
+
+"We wish to be friends with the cat on the mug," they say.
+
+The voice laughs. It is very soft and happy. It is a whisper.
+
+"Your wish is granted," the voice says. "You are very smart and kind. I am glad to be your friend. Come and visit me anytime. Just look inside the mug and say hello."
+
+Ben and Anna are happy. They hug the mug and say hello to the cat. The cat says hello back. They play and talk and laugh. They have a new friend. They are very happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play at the park. They go there with their moms. Lily has a red ball. Tom has a blue bike.
+
+"Can I try your bike?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is fast," Tom says. He gives Lily his bike. He takes her ball.
+
+Lily gets on the bike. She holds the handle. She pushes with her feet. The bike moves. Lily is happy. She smiles.
+
+But then, the bike goes too fast. Lily does not know how to stop. She sees a big tree. She is scared. She screams.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily cries.
+
+Tom hears Lily. He drops the ball. He runs to her. He reaches her just before the tree. He grabs the bike. He stops it.
+
+"Lily, are you OK?" Tom asks.
+
+Lily is shaking. She has a cut on her finger. It hurts. She cries.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I broke your bike," Lily says.
+
+Tom looks at the bike. It has a dent. He is sad. But he is not angry.
+
+"It's OK, Lily. I'm glad you are not hurt. Here, let me see your finger," Tom says. He takes Lily's hand. He kisses her finger.
+
+"Does it feel better?" Tom asks.
+
+Lily nods. She wipes her tears. She hugs Tom.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend," Lily says.
+
+Tom hugs Lily back. He smiles.
+
+"You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too," Tom says.
+
+Their moms come to them. They see the bike and the finger. They are worried.
+
+"What happened?" they ask.
+
+Lily and Tom tell them the story. They say they are sorry. They say they are OK.
+
+Their moms hug them. They are proud of them.
+
+"You are very brave and kind, Lily and Tom. We love you," they say.
+
+Lily and Tom feel better. They are ready to play again. They share the ball and the bike. They have fun at the park.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with colorful flowers. Sara wanted to go up the hill and pick some flowers. Ben said no, it was too far and too high.
+
+"Please, Ben, please!" Sara begged. "The flowers are so pretty. I want to give them to Mommy."
+
+Ben sighed. He loved his sister, but he was scared of the hill. He looked around and saw no one else. He said, "OK, Sara, but we have to be careful. And we have to hurry back."
+
+They held hands and started to walk up the hill. The flowers were yellow and pink and purple. Sara smiled and picked some. Ben looked at the sky and saw dark clouds. He heard thunder. He said, "Sara, we have to go. It's going to rain."
+
+Sara said, "Wait, Ben, wait. I want more flowers. They are so colorful."
+
+Ben said, "No, Sara, no. It's not safe. The hill is slippery. The rain is coming. We have to go now."
+
+But Sara did not listen. She ran to get more flowers. She did not see the big rock. She tripped and fell. She hit her head on the rock. She did not get up. She did not move. She did not make a sound.
+
+Ben screamed. He ran to Sara. He saw blood on her head. He saw her eyes closed. He shook her and called her name. But she did not answer. She did not wake up. Her brain was hurt. She was gone.
+
+Ben cried and cried. He hugged Sara. He wished he had said no. He wished they had not gone up the hill. He wished they had stayed in the park. He wished he had his sister back. But it was too late. The rain fell. The flowers wilted. The hill was silent.
+Sara liked to play with her model cars. She had many of them in different colors and sizes. She would make them zoom and crash on the floor, or park them in neat rows on her shelf. She was very careful with her cars and never broke them.
+
+One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play with something. He saw Sara's model cars and grabbed one. He threw it in the air and caught it. He thought it was fun.
+
+"Stop it!" Sara shouted. "Those are my cars! You will break them!"
+
+"I don't care. They are just toys. Let me play with them!" Tom said. He threw another car and missed. It hit the wall and made a dent.
+
+Sara was very angry and sad. She ran to get her mom. "Mom, Tom is playing with my cars and he broke one! He is very bad!"
+
+Mom came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and the dent in the wall. She was not happy. She scolded Tom and took away his video games. "You are punished, Tom. You have to say sorry to Sara and help her fix her car. You have to be more thoughtful and respect her things."
+
+Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He apologized to Sara and helped her glue the car back together. He learned his lesson and never touched her cars again. Sara forgave him and thanked him. She was glad that he was her brother. They hugged and played with something else.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. They see many things in the garden: flowers, bugs, birds, and rocks. They want to explore the garden and see more things.
+
+"Let's crawl like bugs!" Anna says to Ben. "We can see the garden better that way."
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "That sounds fun!"
+
+They get down on their hands and knees and start to crawl. They crawl through the grass, under the bushes, and around the trees. They see ants, worms, beetles, and spiders. They see petals, leaves, seeds, and nuts. They see feathers, nests, eggs, and chicks. They see pebbles, shells, sand, and dirt. They see a big and beautiful landscape.
+
+They crawl for a long time. They are patient and curious. They do not get tired or bored. They talk to each other and share what they see.
+

+
+Tom cried and cried. He went to his room. He had no water, no cookies, no toys, no friends, no grandma. He was very lonely. He wished he had not sprayed the cookies. He wished he had a friend. He wished Mom would forgive him. But no one came to see him. He was alone. He had a bad day.

+
+Mom and Dad grabbed Lily and Tom. They ran out of the garage. They got in the car. They drove away very fast.
+
+The alarm counted down the numbers. It reached zero. It exploded. The garage was gone. The house was gone. The toys and books were gone. Everything was gone.
+
+Lily and Tom were very sad. They lost their home. They lost their things. They were in trouble. They wished they never found the alarm. They wished they were wise.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play outside every day. One day, they decided to do something special. They wanted to see the sunrise.

+The next morning, they woke up to a loud roar. They opened their eyes and screamed. There was a huge dinosaur outside their tent. It had long teeth, sharp claws, and a spiky tail. It looked hungry and angry.
+
+Lily and Max grabbed their flashlights and ran out of the tent. They ran towards the house, hoping their moms would hear them. They did not stop to look at the sunrise. They did not notice how bright and colorful it was. They only wanted to be safe.
+
+The dinosaur chased them for a while, but then it gave up. It was not interested in small humans. It wanted bigger prey. It walked away, looking for something else to eat.
+
+Lily and Max reached the house and banged on the door. Their moms opened it and hugged them. They were scared and confused. They asked them what happened.
+
+Lily and Max told them about the dinosaur. They showed them the tent, which was torn and ripped. They pointed at the sunrise, which was still shining in the sky.
+
+Their moms did not believe them. They thought they had a bad dream. They told them to calm down and have some breakfast. They said they would discuss it later.
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They knew what they saw. They knew it was real. They wondered if the dinosaur would come back. They wondered if they would ever see the sunrise again.

+
+She went to the cupboard and took out another cookie. But as she was about to give it to Ben, she slipped on a wet spot on the floor. The cookie flew out of her hand and landed on the floor. Ben and Lily gasped.
+
+"Oh no, mom! Are you okay?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom got up and said, "I'm fine, sweetie. I just slipped on some water. I think it came from the window. It must have been open during the storm."
+
+She went to the window and closed it. Then she came back to the table and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I don't have another cookie for you. But you can have mine. Here you go."
+
+She gave Ben her cookie and smiled. Ben looked at the cookie and then at mom. He felt sorry for mom and grateful for her kindness. He said, "Thank you, mom. But you can have it. I already had one. You should have one too."
+
+He gave mom back the cookie and squeezed her hand. Mom smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. That's very sweet of you. You are a good boy."
+

+"Look, this worm is enormous!" Ben said, holding up a long and fat worm. "He is bigger than my finger!"
+
+"Wow, he is!" Mia said, looking at the worm. "Do you think he is hungry?"
+
+"Maybe. Let's give him something to eat." Ben said. He looked around and saw a big red apple on the ground. He picked it up and broke it in half. He gave one half to Mia and kept the other half for himself.
+
+They took turns feeding the worm small pieces of apple. The worm seemed to like it. He ate and ate and ate. He grew even bigger and fatter.
+
+"Stop, stop, he is too big!" Mia said, worried. "He will not fit in the jar anymore!"
+
+But the worm did not stop. He ate the whole apple and then he ate the jar. He ate the dirt and the leaves and then he ate the holes. He ate the grass and the flowers and then he ate the fence.
+
+"Help, help, he is eating everything!" Ben shouted, scared. He and Mia ran away from the worm. They ran to the house and slammed the door.
+
+The worm followed them. He ate the door and then he ate the walls. He ate the furniture and then he ate the toys. He ate the kitchen and then he ate the fridge.
+
+"Where can we hide?" Mia asked, crying. She and Ben looked around and saw a drain in the floor. It was small and dark and wet.
+
+"Quick, let's go in there!" Ben said, grabbing Mia's hand. They crawled into the drain and hoped the worm would not find them.
+
+The worm did not see the drain. He ate the roof and then he ate the sky. He ate the sun and then he ate the moon. He ate the stars and then he ate the night.
+
+He ate everything. He was alone and full and bored.
+
+He wished he had not eaten the jar. He wished he had not eaten the apple. He wished he had not eaten Ben and Mia.
+
+He wished he had some friends.
+Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. One day, they found a big book with many numbers on the cover. They opened the book and saw more numbers inside. Some numbers were big, some were small, some were red, some were blue.
+
+"What are these numbers for?" Anna asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they are a game. Let's try to count them."
+
+They started to count the numbers on the first page. "One, two, three, four, five," Anna said.
+
+"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten," Ben said.
+
+They turned the page and saw more numbers. They counted them too. They did the same for the next pages. They had fun counting the numbers.
+
+But then they came to a page that had no numbers. It had only a picture of a sad face. Anna and Ben gazed at the picture. They felt troubled. Why was the face sad? Did it lose its numbers? Did it want to play with them?
+
+"Hello, sad face," Anna said. "Why are you sad?"
+
+The sad face did not answer. It just looked at them with big eyes.
+
+"Maybe it needs a hug," Ben said. He reached out his hand to touch the picture.
+
+But as soon as he touched it, the picture changed. It became a happy face. It smiled at them and said, "Thank you, Ben. Thank you, Anna. You made me happy. You are my friends."
+
+Anna and Ben were surprised. They smiled back at the happy face. They felt happy too. They had made a new friend. They hugged the book and said, "You are welcome, happy face. We are happy to be your friends."
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. Tom liked to make loud noises with his truck and pretend it was crashing into things. Lily liked to dress up her doll and pretend she was a nurse.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, crash!" Tom shouted as he drove his truck into the couch. "Oh no, my truck is broken! I need a nurse!"
+
+Lily heard Tom and ran over with her doll. "I can help you, Tom. I am a nurse. This is my baby. She is sick." Lily said.
+
+Tom looked at Lily's doll. It had a bandage on its head and a thermometer in its mouth. "Why is your baby sick?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily made a sad face. "She fell down the stairs and hit her head. She has a fever. She is very sick. Maybe she is dead." Lily said.
+
+Tom felt sorry for Lily and her doll. He wanted to cheer her up. He had an idea. He took a string from his truck and attached it to his truck and Lily's doll. "Look, Lily. Your baby is not dead. She is flying. She is happy. She likes my truck." Tom said.
+
+Lily looked at Tom's truck and her doll. She saw the string and the doll flying in the air. She smiled and clapped her hands. "You are right, Tom. My baby is not dead. She is flying. She is happy. She likes your truck. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." Lily said.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged and laughed. They played with their toys and had fun. They were happy.
+Tim and Lily went on a safari with their dad. They saw many big and small animals, like lions, zebras, monkeys and birds. They were very happy and excited.
+
+One day, they saw a baby elephant playing with a ball. Tim wanted to play with the elephant too. He asked his dad if he could go closer. His dad said no, it was not safe. But Tim did not listen. He ran to the elephant and tried to take the ball.
+
+The elephant did not like that. It trumpeted loudly and pushed Tim away with its trunk. Tim fell down and hurt his knee. He started to cry. The elephant's mom came and looked angry. She chased Tim back to the car. Lily and dad were very scared.
+
+They quickly got in the car and drove away. Tim was still crying. He was in pain and he was ashamed. He knew he did a bad thing. He said sorry to his dad and Lily. He said sorry to the elephant too, but the elephant could not hear him.
+
+Dad hugged Tim and said he was glad he was okay. He said he loved him, but he also said he was very naughty. He said he had to learn to listen and be careful. He said they would return to the safari another day, but only if Tim promised to behave.
+
+Tim nodded and said he promised. He learned his lesson. He hoped the elephant was not too mad at him. He wanted to be friends with the elephant. He wanted to see more animals and have fun on the safari. He wanted to make his dad and Lily proud.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and make sounds. Sara likes to make sounds with her doll. She makes her doll talk and sing. Tom likes to make sounds with his car. He makes his car zoom and beep.
+
+One day, Mom says they have to go to the doctor. Sara and Tom do not like the doctor. The doctor has a big needle and a cold stethoscope. They do not want to go. Mom says they have to go. She says they will get a sticker and a lollipop if they are good.
+
+Mom puts Sara and Tom in their seats in the car. She buckles them up. She drives to the doctor. Sara and Tom are quiet. They do not make any sounds. They hold their toys. They are scared.
+
+They get to the doctor. Mom takes them inside. The doctor is a nice lady. She smiles and says hello. She asks them their names and how old they are. She gives them each a sticker. Sara and Tom smile a little.
+
+The doctor says she has to check their ears and throat. She says it will not hurt. She says they can make any sound they want. She says she likes sounds. She says sounds are lively and fun. Sara and Tom look at each other. They look at their toys. They look at the doctor.
+
+Sara goes first. She sits on the big chair. The doctor puts a light in her ear. Sara makes a sound with her doll. She makes her doll say "Hi, doctor!" The doctor laughs. She says Sara has a good ear. She puts a light in her other ear. Sara makes her doll sing a song. The doctor claps. She says Sara has a good voice.
+
+Tom goes next. He sits on the big chair. The doctor puts a light in his ear. Tom makes a sound with his car. He makes his car zoom and beep. The doctor smiles. She says Tom has a good ear. She puts a light in his other ear. Tom makes his car honk and screech. The doctor giggles. She says Tom has a good car.
+
+The doctor says they are both healthy and brave. She gives them each a lollipop. Sara and Tom are happy. They thank the doctor. They hug Mom. They make more sounds with their toys. They are lively and loud. Mom says they are good twins. She says she is proud of them. She says they can go home. Sara and Tom are not scared of the doctor anymore. They like the doctor. They like sounds. They like stickers and lollipops. They like each other. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck is green and modern. It has many buttons and lights.
+
+"Wow, look at the truck!" Tom says. "It is so cool. I want to touch it."
+
+"Me too," Mia says. "But we should ask first. Maybe it is someone's truck."
+
+They go to the truck and see a man. The man is wearing a uniform. He is holding a hose.
+
+"Hello, sir," Tom says. "Can we see your truck?"
+
+The man smiles. He says, "Sure, kids. This is a fire truck. I am a firefighter. I help people when there is a fire."
+
+"Firefighter? That is awesome!" Mia says. "Can we help you?"
+
+The man says, "Well, you can help me by being careful. Fire is dangerous. You should never play with matches or candles. And if you see a fire, you should call for help and get away."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They say, "We understand. Thank you for telling us."
+
+The man says, "You're welcome. You are very smart and polite. Do you want to see the inside of the truck?"
+
+Tom and Mia say, "Yes, please!"
+
+The man lets them sit in the truck. He shows them the buttons and lights. He lets them wear a helmet and a jacket. He says, "You look like firefighters too. Maybe one day, you can be firefighters and help people."
+
+Tom and Mia say, "That would be fun. Thank you for letting us see your truck."
+
+The man says, "You're welcome. Thank you for being nice and curious. Have a good day, kids."
+
+Tom and Mia say, "Bye, sir. Have a good day too."
+
+They wave to the man and go back to their toys. They are happy. They learned something new. They made a new friend. They helped each other. They were good kids.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a pink doll and Ben had a blue car. They were happy and shared their toys.
+
+But then, Tom came in. Tom was older and bigger than Lily and Ben. He was also mean and greedy. He saw the toys and wanted them for himself. He did not ask or say please. He just grabbed the doll and the car and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give them back!" Lily shouted. "Those are ours!"
+
+Ben was angry and sad. He chased after Tom. But Tom was fast and ran to his room. He locked the door and laughed.
+
+Lily and Ben knocked on the door. They asked Tom to open it and return their toys. But Tom did not listen. He played with the doll and the car. He was not careful. He was clumsy. He broke the doll's hair and the car's wheels.
+
+Lily and Ben heard a loud noise. They saw Tom's door open. Tom's mom came out. She was not happy. She saw the broken toys and the wide mess. She knew Tom had stolen them from Lily and Ben.
+
+"Tom, what did you do?" she asked. "You know stealing is wrong. And you broke their toys. That is not nice. You have to say sorry and give them back."
+
+Tom felt ashamed. He knew he had been bad. He gave the doll and the car to Lily and Ben. He said sorry. He hoped they would forgive him.
+
+Lily and Ben were kind. They accepted his apology. They gave him a hug. They told him they could play together if he asked nicely. They also helped him clean his room.
+
+Tom learned his lesson. He did not steal again. He was more careful and gentle with his toys. He was more friendly and generous with Lily and Ben. They became good friends. They had fun and shared their toys.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a little dog with a red collar. The dog was adorable. It had brown fur and big ears. It wagged its tail and licked their faces.
+
+"Hello, doggy!" Lily said. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barked and jumped on them. Ben laughed and hugged the dog. He noticed a tag on the collar. It said "Rex".
+
+"His name is Rex," Ben said. "He is very friendly."
+
+Lily and Ben played with Rex for a long time. They threw a ball and Rex fetched it. They gave him some water and a biscuit. They rubbed his belly and scratched his ears. Rex was happy and so were they.
+
+But then, they heard a voice. It was a man. He was looking for Rex.
+
+"Rex, where are you?" the man called. "Come here, boy!"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sad. They knew Rex belonged to the man. They loved Rex, but they had to give him back.
+
+They walked to the man with Rex. The man smiled and thanked them.
+
+"You are very kind," the man said. "Rex ran away from me. He likes to chase squirrels. He is a naughty dog, but I love him with all my heart."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They loved Rex too, but they knew he had a home and a family.
+
+They said goodbye to Rex and the man. They watched them leave. They felt a little empty.
+
+But then, they looked at each other. They smiled and hugged. They still had each other. They were still best friends. They felt their hearts fill up again.
+
+They decided to play some more in the park. Maybe they would see Rex again someday. They hoped so. He was adorable.
+Sara and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat some bread and butter. But Mom said no. She said they had to wait for dinner.
+
+Sara and Tom did not like to wait. They had a plan. They saw Mom go to the bathroom. They ran to the kitchen. They saw the butter on the table. It was yellow and soft.
+
+"Let's steal the butter!" Sara whispered. "We can eat it in our room."
+
+"OK!" Tom whispered back. He was tall. He could reach the butter. He took it in his hand. He gave some to Sara. They ran to their room. They closed the door.
+
+They ate the butter with their fingers. It was yummy. They smiled. They did not hear Mom come back. They did not hear her look for the butter. They did not hear her knock on their door.
+
+"Sara? Tom? Where are you? What are you doing?" Mom asked.
+
+Sara and Tom stopped eating. They looked at each other. They looked at the butter. They felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They opened the door.
+
+"Hi, Mom," they said.
+
+Mom saw the butter. She saw their faces. She was not happy.
+
+"Sara? Tom? Did you steal the butter?" she asked.
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They said sorry. They gave back the butter.
+
+Mom was not happy. But she was not angry. She hugged them. She said she loved them. She said they had to learn to share. She said they had to wait for dinner.
+
+Sara and Tom said they understood. They said they loved Mom. They said they would not steal again.
+
+Mom smiled. She said they could have some bread and butter for dinner. She said they could help her make it. She said they were good kids.
+
+Sara and Tom smiled. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They helped her make bread and butter. They ate it together. It was yummy. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with boats. They had a large boat that they could sail in the pond. One day, they decided to take their boat to the pond and have a race.
+
+"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily asked, holding her boat.
+
+"Yes, I am, Lily," Ben said, holding his boat. "But be careful, the pond is deep and the wind is strong. Don't let your boat tip over."
+
+"I won't, Ben. I know how to sail well. You be careful too," Lily said. They put their boats in the water and pushed them gently.
+
+The boats sailed fast and smooth, but soon they met a big wave. Lily's boat bounced over the wave, but Ben's boat hit the wave and tipped over. Ben gasped and ran to the edge of the pond.
+
+"Ben, Ben, are you okay?" Lily shouted, worried.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily, but my boat is not. It's sinking," Ben said, sad.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She sailed her boat back to the shore and gave it to Ben.
+
+"Here, Ben, you can have my boat. I don't need to win the race. I just want you to be happy," Lily said, smiling.
+
+Ben smiled too and hugged Lily. "Thank you, Lily, you are very kind. You are the best sister ever," Ben said.
+
+They played with the boat together, and had a lot of fun. They learned that sharing and caring are more important than winning and losing.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. But today is very hot. They feel sweat on their faces and backs. They are thirsty and tired.
+
+"Let's go home, Anna. I want some water and ice cream," Ben says.
+
+"OK, Ben. Me too. But first, let's go to the fountain. Maybe we can splash some water on us and cool down," Anna says.
+
+They rush to the fountain. They see the water shining in the sun. They hear the water splashing. They feel the water spraying on their skin. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, they smell something disgusting. They look around and see a big, brown dog. The dog is dirty and smelly. The dog is drinking from the fountain. The dog is licking the water with its tongue.
+
+"Yuck! That's gross! The dog is making the water dirty!" Anna says.
+
+"Let's go away, Anna. I don't want to play here anymore. The dog is ruining our fun," Ben says.
+
+They run away from the fountain. They hold their noses and make faces. They don't want to touch the water or the dog. They want to go home and have clean water and ice cream. They hope the dog will go away soon. They don't like the dog. They think the dog is disgusting.
+Ben and Sue were jolly friends who liked to play hide and seek. One day, they decided to play in the big park near their house. Ben said, "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you."
+
+Sue ran away and looked for a good hiding spot. She saw a big tree with many leaves and branches. She thought, "This is a perfect place to hide. Ben will never find me here." She climbed up the tree and sat on a branch.
+
+Ben finished counting and opened his eyes. He looked around and saw many places where Sue could hide. He said, "Where are you, Sue? I will find you soon." He started to look behind bushes, under benches, and in trash cans. He could not see Sue anywhere.
+
+Sue was very quiet and still on the tree. She watched Ben looking for her and smiled. She thought, "Ben is a good seeker, but I am a better hider. He will never look up here." She waited for Ben to give up and say, "I give up, Sue. Where are you?"
+
+But Ben did not give up. He kept looking and looking. He walked near the tree where Sue was hiding. He heard a bird singing on the tree. He looked up and saw the bird. He also saw Sue sitting on the branch. He said, "Aha! I found you, Sue. You are hiding on the tree. You are very clever, but not clever enough."
+
+Sue was surprised and laughed. She said, "You found me, Ben. You are very smart, but not smart enough. I have a secret to reveal. I am not Sue. I am Sue's wife. We are twins and we like to trick you."
+
+Ben was shocked and laughed too. He said, "You are Sue's wife? You are twins? You tricked me? That is very funny, but not funny enough. I have a secret to reveal too. I am not Ben. I am Ben's wife. We are twins and we like to trick you too."
+
+Sue and Ben's wives looked at each other and laughed harder. They said, "You are Ben's wife? You are twins? You tricked us too? That is very funny, but not funny enough. We have a secret to reveal too. We are not wives. We are husbands. We are twins and we like to trick you too."
+
+Sue and Ben's husbands looked at each other and laughed harder. They said, "You are husbands? You are twins? You tricked us too? That is very funny, but not funny enough. We have a secret to reveal too. We are not husbands. We are aliens. We are twins and we like to trick you too."
+
+Sue and Ben's aliens looked at each other and laughed harder. They said, "You are aliens? You are twins? You tricked us too? That is very funny, but not funny enough. We have a secret to reveal too. We are not aliens. We are robots. We are twins and we like to trick you too."
+
+Sue and Ben's robots looked at each other and laughed harder. They said, "You are robots? You are twins? You tricked us too? That is very funny, but not funny enough. We have a secret to reveal too. We are not robots. We are..."
+
+But before they could finish, they all heard a loud voice saying, "Time's up, kids. Come back to the nursery. It's time for lunch."
+
+They all stopped laughing and looked around. They saw a big lady with a kind face and a white coat. She said, "Did you have fun playing with the holograms? They are very good at changing shapes and telling stories. They are your jolly friends."
+
+They all said, "Yes, we had fun. They are our jolly friends. But they are very tricky too. They tricked us a lot."
+
+The lady smiled and said, "That's okay. They are just playing with you. They like you a lot. They are your jolly friends. Now, come on. Let's go and have some lunch. You must be hungry after all that playing."
+
+They all followed the lady and left the park. They said goodbye to their jolly friends and thanked them for the fun. They said, "We will see you again soon. You are our jolly friends. But don't trick us too much next time."
+
+The end.
+Sara and Tom were very happy. They loved each other very much. They wanted to have a marriage. A marriage is when two people say they will be together forever.
+
+They planned a big party for their marriage. They invited their friends and family. They bought a nice cake and flowers. They chose a pretty dress and a suit.
+
+But on the day of their marriage, it rained a lot. The sky was dark and the ground was wet. Sara and Tom were sad. They did not want to have a wet party. They wanted to have a sunny party.
+
+They called their friends and family. They said they were sorry, but they had to cancel the party. They said they would have another party when it was dry.
+
+But their friends and family said, "No, don't cancel the party. We don't care if it is wet or dry. We care about you. We want to see you have a marriage. We want to celebrate with you. We want to make you happy."
+
+Sara and Tom were surprised. They realized their friends and family were right. They did not need a sunny party to have a marriage. They needed love and support. They thanked their friends and family. They said they were sorry for being silly. They said they would have the party anyway.
+
+They put on their nice clothes and went to the party. They said they would be together forever. They kissed and hugged. They ate the cake and the flowers. They danced and laughed. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned that a marriage is not about the weather. A marriage is about the people. They learned to be grateful and flexible. They learned to enjoy the moment.
+
+They were very happy. They were also very sleepy. They went to bed and cuddled. They dreamed of their future. They had a good marriage.
+Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they found a shiny stone in the grass. It was a diamond.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Anna said. "It is so pretty and bright. Can I have it?"
+
+"No, I saw it first. It is mine!" Ben said. He grabbed the diamond and put it in his pocket.
+
+Anna was sad. She wanted the diamond too. She said, "Please, Ben, can we share it? We are friends. We should care for each other."
+
+Ben shook his head. He said, "No, this is my diamond. I am proud of it. Go away, Anna. You are not my friend anymore."
+
+Anna cried. She ran away from Ben. She felt lonely and hurt.
+
+Ben was happy. He had the diamond. He thought he was rich and smart. He walked to his home. He did not see the big dog that was barking at him. The dog was angry and hungry. It jumped on Ben and bit him. It took the diamond from his pocket and ran away.
+
+Ben screamed. He was hurt and scared. He dropped his blood on the ground. He wished Anna was there to help him. He realized he was wrong and selfish. He lost his diamond and his friend. He was sorry and sad.
+Lily hated masks. She hated how they covered her face and made her feel hot and itchy. She hated how they made it hard to see and talk and smile. She hated how they scared her when she saw other people wearing them.
+
+One day, Lily had to go to the doctor with her mom. She knew she had to wear a mask, but she did not want to. She cried and kicked and screamed, but her mom said she had no choice. She said it was for her safety and the safety of others. She said it was only for a little while.
+
+Lily felt helpless. She felt like she had no control over her own body. She felt like she was trapped in a bad dream. She wished she could take off the mask and run away. She wished she could be free and happy.
+
+But she could not. She had to wear the mask. She had to sit in the waiting room with her mom and other people in masks. She had to let the doctor check her ears and throat and chest. She had to be brave and polite and quiet.
+
+Lily hated masks. But she loved her mom. And she loved herself. And she wanted to be healthy and safe. So she wore the mask. And she hoped it would be over soon. And she hoped she would never have to wear one again.
+Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat some fruit. They went to the kitchen and saw a huge bowl of fruit on the table. There were apples, bananas, oranges, grapes and pears.
+
+"Wow, look at all the fruit!" Lily said. "Can we have some, Mom?"
+
+"Yes, you can, but you have to wash them first," Mom said. "There is a sink and a faucet over there. You can use the water to make the fruit clean."
+
+Lily and Tom took some fruit and went to the sink. They turned on the faucet and let the water run. They held the fruit under the water and rubbed them with their hands. They made sure to wash all the dirt and germs off the fruit.
+
+"Look, Mom, we washed the fruit!" Tom said. "Can we eat them now?"
+
+"Yes, you can, but be careful not to eat the peel or the seeds," Mom said. "They are not good for you. You can use a knife and a plate to cut the fruit and make it easier to eat."
+
+Lily and Tom used a knife and a plate to cut the fruit. They cut the apples and the pears into slices. They peeled the bananas and the oranges. They took the grapes off the stems. They put the fruit on the plate and shared it with each other.
+
+"Mmm, the fruit is yummy!" Lily said. "Thank you, Mom, for giving us the fruit."
+
+"You're welcome, Lily and Tom," Mom said. "I'm glad you like the fruit. And I'm proud of you for washing the fruit and cutting it by yourselves. You are very good and smart."
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a blue dish. The blue dish was big and round and shiny. They liked to pretend it was a flying saucer or a hat or a drum.
+
+One day, they had a fight over the blue dish. Lily wanted to use it as a hat, but Max wanted to use it as a drum. They both pulled on the dish and shouted, "Mine! Mine!"
+
+The dish broke in half with a loud crack. Lily and Max cried. They were sad and angry. They did not want to play together anymore.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken dish and the crying twins. She said, "Oh, no! What did you do to your blue dish? It was so nice and you loved it so much."
+
+Lily and Max sniffed and said, "We had a fight. We both wanted the dish. Now it is broken and we have no dish."
+
+Mom said, "I'm sorry, but you can't fix the dish. It is too broken. But you can fix your fight. You are twins and you love each other. You can share and play together. You can unite and be happy."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt sorry for breaking the dish and for hurting each other. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, twin. We love you. We want to play together."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's good. I love you, too. Now, why don't you find another toy to play with? Maybe something that won't break so easily."
+
+Lily and Max nodded and wiped their tears. They went to their toy box and found a red ball. They decided to play catch with the ball. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the broken dish. They were united and happy.
+Ben and Lily like to play in the garden. They dig in the soil and make mud pies. They hope to find worms and bugs. They are very quiet, because Mom is sleeping inside.
+
+One day, they see a big hole in the soil. They think it is a worm's home. They want to look inside. Ben puts his hand in the hole. He feels something soft and furry. He pulls it out. It is a baby rabbit!
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. "It is so cute and fluffy!"
+
+"Let me see, let me see!" Lily says. She tries to grab the rabbit from Ben. Ben holds it tight. He does not want to share.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I found it first!"
+
+"But I want to hold it too!" Lily says. "It is not fair!"
+
+They start to fight over the rabbit. They pull and tug and shout. The rabbit is scared. It wriggles and squeaks. It bites Ben's finger. Ben drops the rabbit. It runs away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. He holds his finger. It is bleeding.
+
+"Look what you did!" Lily says. She is angry. "You made the rabbit run away!"
+
+Mom hears the noise. She wakes up. She comes out to the garden. She sees Ben and Lily. She sees the blood and the hole.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom says. She is not happy. "What have you done?"
+Sara and Ben like to paint. They have many colors to use. Sara likes red the best. Ben likes gold the best. They paint on big papers on the floor.
+
+"Look at my red flower!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Look at my gold sun!" Ben says. "It is so bright!"
+
+They paint more and more. They are happy.
+
+But then, Sara sees that Ben has used some of her red paint. She gets angry.
+
+"Hey, that is my red!" Sara says. "Give it back!"
+
+"No, I need it for my sun!" Ben says. "It is mine now!"
+
+They start to fight. They pull the red paint from each other. They spill the paint on the floor. They make a big mess.
+
+"Stop!" Mom says. She comes into the room. She sees the paint everywhere. She is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom says. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+"Sara took my gold!" Ben says.
+
+"Ben took my red!" Sara says.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She makes them clean the mess. She makes them say sorry to each other. She makes them share the paint.
+
+"Painting is fun, but only if you are nice," Mom says. "Can you be nice?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They hug each other. They paint together. They use red and gold and other colors. They make a beautiful picture. They are happy again.
+Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She lived in a big house with her mom and dad, but they were always busy. She wished she had a pet to keep her company.
+
+One day, she saw a fruit stand on the street. She liked fruit. She asked her mom if she could buy some. Her mom said yes, and gave her some money. Anna walked to the fruit stand and looked at the colorful fruit. She saw apples, bananas, oranges, and grapes. She also saw something she had never seen before. It was green and spiky, with a long tail.
+
+"What is that?" Anna asked the fruit seller.
+
+"That is a dragon fruit," the fruit seller said. "It is very sweet and juicy. Do you want to try some?"
+
+Anna nodded. She was curious. The fruit seller cut a piece of the dragon fruit and gave it to Anna. Anna took a bite. It was delicious. She felt a burst of flavor in her mouth. She smiled.
+
+"Can I have one, please?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, here you go," the fruit seller said, and handed her a whole dragon fruit. "But be careful, it can spray."
+
+"Spray?" Anna asked. "What do you mean?"
+
+The fruit seller smiled. "You'll see. Just don't squeeze it too hard."
+
+Anna thanked the fruit seller and walked back to her mom. She held the dragon fruit in her hands. She wondered what it would spray. She decided to find out. She squeezed the dragon fruit gently. Nothing happened. She squeezed it harder. Still nothing. She squeezed it even harder. Suddenly, a jet of pink juice squirted out of the dragon fruit. It sprayed Anna's face, her clothes, and her mom's car.
+
+"Ah!" Anna screamed. She dropped the dragon fruit. She was shocked. She was also sticky and wet.
+
+"Anna, what did you do?" her mom asked. She was angry. She saw the mess on her car. She saw the juice on Anna's face. She saw the fruit seller laughing.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Anna said. "The fruit seller said it could spray, but I didn't know it would spray so much."
+
+Her mom sighed. She took a tissue and wiped Anna's face. She was not angry anymore. She was amused. She saw the funny side of the situation.
+
+"It's okay, Anna," her mom said. "It was an accident. But next time, be more careful with your fruit. And maybe we should get you a pet. A pet that doesn't spray."
+
+Anna smiled. She liked that idea. She hugged her mom. She was not lonely anymore. She had a mom who loved her. And maybe soon, she would have a pet who loved her too.
+Tom and Mia liked to play with their toys in the sandbox. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big, colorful whale. The whale was blue and green and yellow and had a happy smile. Tom and Mia liked to make the whale swim in the sand and splash water on each other.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the sandbox. His name was Sam and he had no toys. He saw Tom and Mia playing with the whale and he wanted to play too. He asked them, "Can I play with your whale? It looks so fun and pretty."
+
+Tom and Mia looked at each other. They did not want to share their whale. They liked it too much. They said to Sam, "No, you can't. This is our whale. Go away."
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He did not like Tom and Mia. He thought they were mean and selfish. He waited until they were not looking and he grabbed the whale and ran away.
+
+Tom and Mia saw Sam running away with their whale. They shouted, "Hey, that's our whale! Give it back!" They chased after him, but he was too fast. He ran to the other side of the park and hid behind a big tree.
+
+Tom and Mia looked for Sam and their whale, but they could not find them. They felt sad and sorry. They wished they had shared their whale with Sam. They realized they had been mean and selfish too.
+
+Then they heard a loud splash. They turned around and saw a big, colorful whale jumping out of the pond. The whale was blue and green and yellow and had a happy smile. It was their whale! Sam had thrown it into the pond and it had come to life!
+
+The whale saw Tom and Mia and waved its tail. It said, "Hello, Tom and Mia. I'm your whale. Thank you for playing with me, but I have to go now. I have to find my family in the sea. But don't be sad. I have a gift for you."
+
+The whale splashed water on Tom and Mia and they laughed. They felt happy and surprised. The whale said, "Look in the pond. There are more toys for you. They are my friends. They want to play with you. And they want you to share them with Sam. He is lonely and needs friends too. Will you do that?"
+
+Tom and Mia looked in the pond and saw many toys. There were fish and turtles and dolphins and octopuses. They were all colorful and happy. Tom and Mia said, "Wow, thank you, whale. You are so kind and generous. We will share your friends with Sam. We are sorry we were mean and selfish. We want to be friends with him too."
+
+The whale smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tom and Mia. I'm glad you learned to share. Sharing is caring. Goodbye, my friends. I hope to see you again someday." The whale jumped out of the pond and swam away.
+
+Tom and Mia waved goodbye to the whale and ran to find Sam. They said, "Sam, Sam, we have a surprise for you. Come and see. We want to play with you and share our toys with you. We are sorry we were mean and selfish. We want to be friends with you. Will you forgive us?"
+
+Sam came out from behind the tree and saw Tom and Mia and the toys in the pond. He felt happy and curious. He said, "Really? You want to play with me and share your toys with me? You want to be friends with me?"
+
+Tom and Mia nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Come and join us. It's fun and pretty. And we have a story to tell you. It's about a big, colorful whale."
+Lily and her mom went to the market. Lily liked the market. She saw many things. She saw fruits, flowers, toys, and books. She wanted to look at everything.
+
+"Mom, can I have a book?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not today, Lily. We only have money for food," her mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She saw a book with a big red apple on the cover. She loved apples. She wanted the book. She reached for the book. She did not see the man behind the book stand.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the man shouted. He grabbed the book from Lily's hand. He was angry.
+
+Lily was scared. She cried. She ran to her mom. Her mom hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, sir. She did not mean to take your book. She is only three years old," her mom said.
+
+The man looked at Lily. He saw her tears. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"It's okay. I'm sorry I yelled at you. Here, you can have the book. It's a gift," he said. He gave the book to Lily.
+
+Lily smiled. She said thank you. She hugged the book. She was happy.
+
+Her mom thanked the man. She took Lily's hand. They walked to the food section. They bought some apples.
+
+Lily and her mom found a seat. They ate some apples. They read the book. They enjoyed the market. Lily was not embarrassed anymore. She was proud of her new book.
+Ben and Lily liked to listen to jazz. Jazz was music with wild sounds and fast beats. They had a big radio in their room that played jazz all day. They danced and sang and clapped along.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She said they could not leave the radio on. She said it was a waste of power and money. Ben and Lily did not want to go. They wanted to stay and listen to jazz. They begged and cried, but mom said no.
+
+Mom left the room to get her keys and purse. Ben and Lily had an idea. They turned the radio back on and hid it under the bed. They thought mom would not hear it. They thought they were very clever.
+
+They went to the store with mom. They were bored and grumpy. They wanted to go back home and listen to jazz. They did not know that the radio was too loud and too hot. They did not know that the radio started a fire under the bed. They did not know that the fire spread to the curtains and the carpet and the toys.
+
+When they came back home, they saw smoke and flames. They saw fire trucks and hoses and sirens. They saw their room was burned and black. They saw their radio was melted and broken. They saw their mom was angry and sad. They saw their jazz was gone. They wished they had listened to mom. They learned a hard lesson.
+Lily and Lila are twins. They look the same and like the same things. They share a room and a bed. They also share their toys and clothes.
+
+One day, Lily finds a shiny stone in the park. She likes it very much and puts it in her pocket. She does not tell Lila about it. She wants to keep it for herself.
+
+At night, Lily takes out the stone and looks at it under the lamp. It sparkles and glows. She feels happy and proud. She thinks it is a magic stone.
+
+Lila sees Lily holding the stone. She is curious and asks, "What is that? Can I see it?"
+
+Lily says, "No, it is mine. I found it. It is a magic stone. You can not have it."
+
+Lila feels sad and hurt. She says, "But we are twins. We share everything. Why can not you share the stone with me?"
+
+Lily says, "Because it is special. It is only for me. Go away."
+
+Lila cries and runs to their mom. She tells her what Lily said. Mom is not happy. She goes to the room and talks to Lily.
+
+She says, "Lily, why are you so mean to Lila? She is your twin and your best friend. You should be kind and helpful to her. Sharing is caring. How would you feel if she did not share with you?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers how Lila always helps her with her homework, plays with her, and gives her hugs. She feels sorry and ashamed. She says, "I am sorry, mom. I am sorry, Lila. I was selfish and greedy. I will share the stone with you. Maybe it is not magic, but it is still pretty. We can both enjoy it."
+
+Lila smiles and hugs Lily. She says, "Thank you, Lily. I love you. You are a good twin and a good sister."
+
+Mom says, "I am proud of you, Lily. You learned a valuable lesson. Sharing makes you happy and makes others happy too. Now, let us go to bed. Good night, my sweet twins."
+
+Lily and Lila cuddle with their mom and the stone. They fall asleep peacefully. They dream of magic and friendship.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the big slide and go down fast. They laughed and had fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a blue bird on the tree!" Ben said, pointing to a small bird with blue feathers.
+
+"Wow, it is so pretty! Can we go and see it?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The tree is very high and the branches are thin," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the tree and tried to climb it. They held on to the bark and the leaves. They went up and up, until they were close to the bird.
+
+"Hello, blue bird! What are you doing?" Lily said.
+
+"Tweet, tweet! I am looking for salt. I like salt. It makes me happy," the bird said.
+
+"Salt? Where do you find salt?" Ben asked.
+
+"Tweet, tweet! I find salt on the rocks by the sea. The sea is big and wet and salty. Do you want to come with me?" the bird said.
+
+"Yes, yes! We want to see the sea and the salt!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+"OK, then. Hold on to my wings. I will fly you there. But don't let go, or you will fall," the bird said.
+
+Lily and Ben held on to the bird's wings. The bird flew up and up, over the park, over the houses, over the fields, until they reached the sea. They saw the water shining and the waves crashing. They saw the rocks with white salt on them.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing! Thank you, blue bird!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+"Tweet, tweet! You are welcome, my friends. Enjoy the salt, but don't eat too much, or you will be thirsty. And don't forget to go back home, or your parents will be worried," the bird said.
+
+Lily and Ben licked the salt from the rocks. It was crunchy and tasty. They thanked the bird again and said goodbye. The bird flew them back to the park and dropped them on the slide. They slid down and ran to their parents, who were waiting for them.
+
+"Where have you been? We were looking for you!" their parents said.
+
+"We went to see the sea and the salt with a blue bird!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+Their parents smiled and hugged them. They thought it was a funny story that they made up. But Lily and Ben knew it was true. They looked at the sky and waved to the blue bird, who was flying away. They hoped to see him again.
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to watch the big trains go by. They sit on a hill and see the trains go fast and make noise. Sometimes they wave at the people in the trains.
+
+One day, they see a weird train. It is very long and has many colors. It has animals on it, like lions and elephants and monkeys. It also has clowns and balloons and music. Tim and Jen are curious. They want to know where the train is going.
+
+They run after the train and follow it to the station. They see a big sign that says "Circus". They hear a loud voice that says "Welcome to the circus! Come and see the amazing show!"
+
+Tim and Jen look at each other. They want to see the circus. They have never seen a circus before. They think it will be fun and exciting. They run to the ticket booth and ask for two tickets.
+
+"Sorry, kids, you need an adult to go in," the man at the booth says. "Where are your parents?"
+
+Tim and Jen feel sad. They don't have an adult with them. They only have each other. They look at the circus train and wish they could go on a journey with it.
+
+They turn around and walk back to the hill. They sit and watch the train leave. They hope to see it again someday. They are still friends. They still like to watch the big trains go by.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But sometimes they make a big mess. Mom does not like that.
+
+One day, Mom tells them to clean up their toys before lunch. Lily starts to pick up her dolls and put them in a box. But Ben is lazy. He does not want to clean up. He sits on the couch and watches TV.
+
+"Ben, help me!" Lily says. "Mom will be angry if we don't clean up."
+
+"I don't care," Ben says. "Cleaning is boring. I want to watch TV."
+
+Lily is mad. She complains to Mom. "Mom, Ben is lazy! He does not help me clean up! He only watches TV!"
+
+Mom comes to the living room. She sees the mess and Ben on the couch. She is not happy. She turns off the TV and takes the remote.
+
+"Ben, you are being very rude and lazy," Mom says. "You need to help your sister clean up. Or you will not get any lunch."
+
+Ben pouts. He does not like Mom's words. He does not want to miss lunch. He gets off the couch and starts to clean up. But he does it very slowly and carelessly. He throws his cars and trucks in a pile. He does not put them in the right place.
+
+Lily sees what Ben is doing. She is not happy. She wants to do a good job. She wants Mom to be proud of her. She says to Ben, "Ben, you are not cleaning up right. You need to put your toys in the tip. That is where they belong. Not on the floor."
+
+Ben does not listen to Lily. He does not care about the tip. He thinks it is too far and too hard. He says to Lily, "Lily, you are bossy. You are not my mom. You can't tell me what to do. I will put my toys where I want."
+
+Lily and Ben start to argue. They raise their voices and say mean words. Mom hears them and comes back to the living room. She sees the mess and the fight. She is very angry. She says to Lily and Ben, "That's enough! You are both being very naughty and noisy. You need to stop fighting and clean up properly. Or you will not get any lunch or any dessert."
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They do not want to lose their lunch and their dessert. They love their lunch and their dessert. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They start to clean up properly. They put their toys in the tip and in the boxes. They make the living room neat and tidy.
+
+Mom sees what they are doing. She is happy. She says to Lily and Ben, "Good job! You are being very helpful and nice. You can have your lunch and your dessert. But next time, please don't make such a big mess and don't complain and fight. OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say OK. They hug Mom and thank her. They go to the kitchen and have their lunch and their dessert. They are happy. They promise to be good and not lazy.
+Anna was sad. She missed her grandma. Grandma used to read her stories and sing her songs. Grandma gave her a big hug and a soft pillow. The pillow smelled like grandma.
+
+Anna hugged the pillow and cried. Mommy came in and saw her. Mommy sat on the bed and hugged Anna too.
+
+"Why are you sad, Anna?" Mommy asked.
+
+"I miss grandma. She is gone. I want her back." Anna said.
+
+"I miss her too, Anna. She is in heaven now. She is happy and peaceful. She loves you very much." Mommy said.
+
+"Can I see her again?" Anna asked.
+
+"Not with your eyes, Anna. But you can see her in your heart. You can remember her. Remember how she smiled and laughed. Remember how she played and cuddled. Remember how she said 'I love you'." Mommy said.
+
+Anna closed her eyes and tried to remember. She saw grandma's face in her mind. She heard grandma's voice in her ear. She felt grandma's warmth in her chest.
+
+She opened her eyes and smiled. She still hugged the pillow.
+
+"I remember, Mommy. I remember grandma. She is here with me." Anna said.
+
+Mommy smiled too. She kissed Anna's forehead.
+
+"Yes, she is, Anna. She is always with you. And so am I. I love you, Anna." Mommy said.
+
+"I love you too, Mommy. And I love grandma." Anna said.
+
+They hugged each other and lay down on the bed. The pillow was heavy, but it was also cozy. Anna felt safe and happy. She fell asleep with a smile.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to wonder. She liked to wonder about the stars, the animals, and the flowers. One day, she went with her mom and dad to visit a farmer. The farmer had a big farm with many cows, pigs, and chickens.
+
+"Hello, farmer!" Lily said. "Can I see your animals?"
+
+"Sure, little girl. You can see them, but be careful. They are big and loud," the farmer said.
+
+Lily followed the farmer to the barn. She saw the cows, the pigs, and the chickens. She wondered how they made milk, bacon, and eggs. She wondered how they felt, how they smelled, and how they sounded. She wanted to touch them, but she was a bit scared.
+
+"Can I touch them, farmer?" Lily asked.
+
+"You can touch them, but gently. They are friendly, but they might bite or kick," the farmer said.
+
+Lily reached out her hand to touch a cow. The cow was soft and warm. It mooed and licked Lily's hand. Lily giggled and touched the cow's nose. The cow snorted and shook its head. Lily felt dizzy and fell down.
+
+"Are you okay, little girl?" the farmer asked.
+
+"I'm okay, farmer. The cow made me dizzy," Lily said.
+
+The farmer helped Lily up and gave her a glass of milk. Lily drank the milk and felt better. She thanked the farmer and said goodbye to the cow. She wondered what other animals she could see on the farm.
+It was a hot summer day. Lily and Ben wanted to play outside, but they felt too hot and sweaty. They saw a big pool of water in the park. It looked cool and fun.
+
+"Can we go in the water, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. The water is deep and you don't know how to swim," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben put on their swimsuits and ran to the pool. They splashed and laughed in the water. They felt the water soak their hair and skin. They saw some fish and frogs in the pool. They tried to catch them, but they were too fast.
+
+"Look, Ben, a big leaf!" Lily said. She saw a thick green leaf floating on the water. She climbed on it and pretended it was a boat.
+
+"Can I join you, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"Okay, but don't make it sink," Lily said.
+
+Ben climbed on the leaf too. They paddled with their hands and feet. They felt the wind blow on their faces. They saw some birds and butterflies in the sky. They sang a song together.
+
+They had so much fun on the leaf. They forgot about the time and the heat. They enjoyed the summer season. Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they decide to make a big tower with the blocks. They work hard and stack the blocks high. They are proud of their tower.
+
+But then, a big wind comes and blows the tower down. The blocks fall and make a loud noise. Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They look at each other and start to cry.
+
+"Who did this?" Lily asks.
+
+"It was the wind," Ben says.
+
+"The wind is mean," Lily says.
+
+They want to make the tower again, but they are afraid of the wind. They think of what to do.
+
+"I have an idea," Ben says. "We can make a wall with the blocks. The wall will stop the wind."
+
+"That is a good idea," Lily says. "Let's do it."
+
+They start to make a wall with the blocks. They make it strong and wide. They are proud of their wall.
+
+The wind comes again and tries to blow the wall down. But the wall is too strong. The wind cannot break it. The wall protects the tower.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy and hug each other.
+
+"We did it," Lily says.
+
+"We did it," Ben says.
+
+They look at their wall and their tower. They are proud of their work. They smile and play.
+Lily liked to play in the garden with her toys. She had a ball, a doll, and a rabbit. The rabbit was soft and white, and Lily named him Snowy. She hugged him and gave him carrots to eat. She was happy with Snowy.
+
+One day, Lily heard a loud noise from the garden. She ran outside to see what it was. She saw a big dog barking and running around. The dog saw Lily and ran towards her. Lily was scared and ran back to the house. She forgot to take Snowy with her.
+
+The dog saw Snowy on the grass. He thought Snowy was a toy. He grabbed Snowy with his mouth and shook him. Snowy was hurt and scared. He tried to get away, but the dog was too strong.
+
+Lily's mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw the dog and Snowy. She yelled at the dog and threw a stick at him. The dog dropped Snowy and ran away. Lily's mom picked up Snowy and brought him inside. She saw that Snowy was bleeding and had a big hole in his fur.
+
+Lily saw Snowy and cried. She recognized him as her rabbit, but he looked different. He looked sad and hurt. She hugged him and said sorry. She asked her mom to help him. Her mom said she would take him to the vet. She said Snowy might get better, but he might not. She said Lily should be careful with her toys and not leave them outside. Lily nodded and said she loved Snowy. She hoped he would be okay.
+Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big bear that they called Teddy. They hugged Teddy, dressed Teddy, and told Teddy stories.
+
+One day, Mia and Leo were playing with Teddy in their room. They pretended that Teddy was a king and they were his knights. They put a crown on Teddy's head and a cape on his back. They gave him a sword and a shield. They said, "Teddy, you are the best king ever. We will protect you from the bad dragons."
+
+But then, Leo had an idea. He said, "Mia, let's play tug-of-war with Teddy. We can pull him from both sides and see who is stronger." Mia agreed. She said, "Okay, Leo, let's do it. But be careful not to hurt Teddy."
+
+They each grabbed one of Teddy's arms and started to pull. They pulled and pulled and pulled. They laughed and shouted and pulled. But then, something bad happened. They pulled too hard and Teddy's arm tore off. They heard a loud rip and saw stuffing flying out. They stopped pulling and looked at Teddy. He had only one arm and a big hole in his side. He looked very sad.
+
+Mia and Leo felt very sorry. They dropped Teddy's arm and ran to him. They said, "Oh no, Teddy, we are so sorry. We didn't mean to tear you. We love you, Teddy. Please don't be mad at us." They hugged Teddy and tried to fix him. They put his arm back and wrapped a bandage around him. They kissed him and said, "Teddy, you are still the best king ever. We will never play tug-of-war with you again."
+
+They put Teddy on their bed and said, "Teddy, you need a nap. You must be very tired and sore. We will nap with you and make you feel better." They climbed on the bed and cuddled with Teddy. They closed their eyes and tried to sleep. But they were too restless. They felt bad about what they did to Teddy. They wondered if he would forgive them. They wished they could make him whole again.
+
+They opened their eyes and looked at Teddy. He still looked sad. They said, "Teddy, we are sorry. We are sorry. We are sorry." They hugged him and cried. They hoped he could hear them and understand them. They hoped he could still love them. They hoped he could still be their king.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their houses. One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big hedge with many green leaves. They wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Let's go and see," Ben said. He was not shy. He liked to explore new things.
+
+Lily was shy. She was afraid of what might be behind the hedge. Maybe there was a big dog or a scary bug. She did not want to go.
+
+"No, thank you," she said. "I want to stay here."
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He did not want to make her sad. He had an idea.
+
+"I have a suggestion," he said. "Why don't we play hide and seek? You can hide behind the hedge and I will try to find you. That way, you can see what is behind it and have fun too."
+
+Lily thought about it. She liked to play hide and seek. She liked to make Ben happy. She decided to try.
+
+"Okay," she said. "But you have to count to ten and close your eyes."
+
+Ben agreed. He closed his eyes and counted to ten. Lily ran behind the hedge and hid. She was surprised by what she saw. There was a beautiful garden with many flowers and butterflies. She smiled and felt brave.
+
+Ben opened his eyes and looked for Lily. He saw a flash of her pink dress behind the hedge. He ran towards it and found her.
+
+"Wow, you found a nice hiding place," he said. "This garden is so pretty. Can we play here?"
+
+Lily nodded. She was happy. She and Ben played in the garden for a long time. They forgot to be shy and had fun. They made a new friend in the park. It was the hedge.
+Lily was a dog who liked to help her owner, Sam. Sam was a butcher who sold meat to people. Every day, Lily would carry a basket of meat in her mouth and deliver it to Sam's customers. They were always happy to see Lily and gave her a pat or a treat. Lily was a popular dog in the town.
+
+One day, Lily met a new dog on her way to deliver meat. His name was Rex and he was big and hungry. He smelled the meat in Lily's basket and said, "Hey, can I have some of that meat? I'm starving."
+
+Lily did not want to share her meat. She said, "No, this is not my meat. This is for Sam's customers. They paid for it and they are waiting for it. You can't have it."
+
+Rex did not listen to Lily. He said, "I don't care. I want it and I will take it." He jumped on Lily and tried to grab the basket from her mouth. Lily growled and bit him. They fought over the meat and made a lot of noise.
+
+Soon, Sam heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw Lily and Rex fighting and shouted, "Stop it, you two! Lily, drop the basket! Rex, leave her alone!" He ran to them and separated them. He took the basket from Lily and checked the meat. It was torn and dirty. He said, "Oh, no. This meat is ruined. I can't sell it to my customers. They will be angry and disappointed. Lily, why did you do this? You were supposed to deliver the meat, not fight over it."
+
+Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was trying to deliver the meat, but Rex wanted to take it from me. He was hungry and rude. I didn't want to share it with him."

+Sam said, "Lily, I know you were trying to help me, but you made a mistake. You should have been more generous and kind. Rex was hungry and he needed some food. You could have given him a little bit of meat and made a new friend. Then you could have delivered the rest of the meat to the customers. They would have understood and appreciated your kindness. But instead, you were selfish and greedy. You lost the meat and made an enemy. That was not a good thing to do."
+
+Lily realized that Sam was right. She said, "You're right, Sam. I was selfish and greedy. I should have been more generous and kind. I'm sorry, Rex. I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry, customers. I learned my lesson. Next time, I will share and be nice."
+
+Sam said, "That's good, Lily. I'm glad you learned your lesson. I forgive you, and I hope Rex and the customers will forgive you too. Come on, let's go back to the shop and see what we can do. Maybe we can find some more meat to deliver. And maybe we can find some food for Rex too. He looks like he could use a friend."
+
+Lily nodded and wagged her tail. She followed Sam back to the shop. She hoped that Rex would follow them too. She wanted to be his friend and share some meat with him. She wanted to be a popular dog again, but not for the meat she delivered, but for the kindness she showed.

+One day, Ben goes to the park with his mom. He sees a large dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. He wants to pet the dog, but he is a little scared. He hears the dog bark. He hears the dog's owner talk. He does not understand the dog's owner. He talks in a different language.
+
+Ben's mom sees the dog and the owner. She smiles and says hello. She talks to the owner in his language. Ben is surprised. He asks his mom, "How do you know his language?" His mom says, "I learned it when I was young. I like to learn new languages. They are fun and interesting."
+
+Ben thinks his mom is very smart. He wants to learn new languages too. He asks the owner, "Can I pet your dog?" The owner nods and says yes. He says the dog's name is Luna. He says it in his language and in Ben's language. Ben repeats the name. He pets Luna. He hears her wag her tail. He smiles. He likes to hear new things.

+
+"Tim, I am sorry. I did not want to break your guitar. I like you!"
+
+But Tim did not listen. He picked up his guitar and threw it at Sam. The guitar hit Sam on the head and made him cry. Sam ran out of the room and told their mom.
+
+Mom was troubled and worried. She went to their room and saw Tim and Sam. She saw the broken guitar and the ball. She hugged Sam and checked his head. She was not happy with Tim. She said to Tim.
+
+"Tim, you are in trouble. You should not throw your guitar at Sam. You could hurt him. You should say sorry to Sam and share your toys. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim felt bad and ashamed. He understood he was wrong. He said sorry to Mom and Sam. He hugged Sam and gave him his guitar. He said to Sam.
+
+"Sam, I am sorry. I should not throw my guitar at you. You are my brother and I love you. Do you want to play with my guitar?"

+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They liked to push it around and make loud noises. But sometimes they wanted to play with it at the same time, and they did not know how to share.
+
+One day, their mom said she had a surprise for them. She brought a big box and put it on the floor. Lily and Ben were curious and excited. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside was a new toy: a big yellow bus. It had wheels and doors and windows and seats. It looked very fun.
+
+"Wow, a bus!" Lily said. "Can I play with it?"
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben said. "I want to play with it!"
+
+They both reached for the bus, but it was too big for one of them to hold. They pulled and tugged and shouted. The bus fell to the floor and made a loud noise.
+
+"Stop, stop!" their mom said. "You are not being nice. You have to share the bus. It is for both of you. You can take turns or play together. But you have to be patient and kind."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for making a mess and a noise. They wanted to play with the bus, but they also wanted to be good.
+
+"Sorry, mom," Lily said. "Sorry, Ben."
+
+"Sorry, mom," Ben said. "Sorry, Lily."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They decided to play together with the bus. They pushed it around and made happy noises. They pretended to be drivers and passengers and tourists. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Their mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them. She knew they were learning to share and be patient. She thought they were not ordinary twins, but special and sweet. She loved them very much.
+Lily and Tom are having breakfast with Mom and Dad. They like toast with butter and jam. Mom gives them each a plate with two slices of toast. Lily wants the yellow jam, but Tom takes it first.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Lily says. "Give it back!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tom says. "You can have the red jam."
+
+Lily is angry. She grabs a spoon and shoots some red jam at Tom. The jam lands on his face and shirt. Tom is surprised and mad. He shoots some yellow jam back at Lily. The jam hits her hair and nose.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. "You are making a mess!"
+
+Dad laughs. He takes a napkin and wipes the jam off Lily and Tom. He gives them a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Jam is for toast, not for shooting," he says. "Can you share the yellow jam and the red jam?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They say sorry to each other. They spread the jam on their toast and eat it. It is yummy. They smile and giggle. Mom and Dad smile too. They are happy.
+Lily liked to write in her diary every day. She had a pink diary with a lock and a key. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams and her secrets. She was very enthusiastic about her diary. She thought it was the best thing ever.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her diary with her, because she wanted to write about the park. She saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a pond. She had a lot of fun. She wrote in her diary: "I love the park. It is so fun and pretty. I want to come here again."
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily saw a big dog running towards her. She was scared of the dog. She dropped her diary and ran to her mom and dad. They hugged her and told her it was okay. The dog was friendly and just wanted to play. But Lily did not want to play with the dog. She wanted her diary back.
+
+She looked for her diary, but she could not find it. She asked her mom and dad to help her, but they could not find it either. They looked everywhere, but the diary was gone. Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She said: "Where is my diary? I want my diary. It is mine. It has all my things in it."
+
+Her mom and dad tried to comfort her. They said: "Maybe someone found your diary and will return it to you. Maybe it is still in the park and we can look for it again tomorrow. Maybe we can buy you a new diary and you can write new things in it."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She did not want a new diary. She wanted her old diary. She did not want to wait. She wanted her diary now. She did not stop crying. She remained sad and angry. She did not have a good day. She had a bad day. She lost her diary and she did not know if she would ever see it again.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with planes. They have a big box with many planes. Some are red, some are blue, some are yellow. They pretend to be pilots and fly the planes in the air.
+
+One day, they find a new plane in the box. It is black and shiny. It has a button on the side. Tom says, "Let's try this plane. It looks cool." Sam says, "OK, but be careful. We don't know what it does."
+
+Tom pushes the button. The plane makes a loud noise. It starts to fly by itself. It flies out of the box, out of the window, and into the sky. Tom and Sam are surprised. They run to the window and watch the plane. It flies higher and higher, until they can't see it anymore.
+
+"Wow, that was a magic plane!" Tom says. "I wonder where it went." Sam says, "Maybe it went to another country, or another planet, or another time." They imagine the plane having many adventures and meeting new friends.
+
+They hope the plane will come back someday. They also hope it will escape from any danger. They say, "Bye, plane. Have fun. Be safe. We miss you." They smile and hug each other. They are still friends. They still like to play with planes.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big blue saw near the fence. It was shiny and had teeth.
+
+"Wow, look at that saw!" Lily said. "It is so blue and pretty. Can we touch it?"
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, that is not a toy. It is for cutting wood. It can hurt you. We should stay away from it."
+
+But Lily was curious. She wanted to see the saw up close. She ran to the fence and reached for the saw. Ben followed her and tried to stop her.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" Ben shouted. "That is dangerous!"
+
+But it was too late. Lily touched the saw and it made a loud noise. It was not a saw, it was a siren. It was a warning for the workers who were building a new house. The workers saw Lily and Ben and ran to them.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing here?" one of the workers asked. "This is not a place for playing. This is a place for working. That siren is to tell us when to start and stop. You scared us!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared too. They did not know it was a siren. They thought it was a saw. They felt sorry for touching it.
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Lily said. "We did not know. We thought it was a saw. It was so blue and pretty. We wanted to see it."
+
+The worker smiled. He was not angry. He was kind. He understood that they were just curious.
+
+"It's okay, kids," he said. "But you should be careful. This is not a safe place for you. There are many tools and machines that can hurt you. You should play in the park, not here. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They said thank you and goodbye to the worker. They ran back to the park. They did not want to touch the siren again. They wanted to play with their toys. They learned something new. They met a siren and a worker. They were blue and nice.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to build things with wood and sticks. They found a big pile of wood near a bench. They started to make a house for their dolls.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a door!" Tim said. He showed her a piece of wood with a hole in it.
+
+"That's good, Tim. I made a window!" Lily said. She showed him a piece of wood with a glass bottle in it.
+
+They were having fun. But then a big boy came. He was mean. He kicked their house and broke it. He laughed and ran away.
+
+Tim and Lily were very sad. They felt frustrated. They worked hard on their house and the big boy ruined it.
+
+"Why did he do that?" Tim asked. He had tears in his eyes.
+
+"I don't know, Tim. He is not nice. He doesn't care about us or our house." Lily said. She hugged him.
+
+They looked at their broken house. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to go home.
+
+They picked up their dolls and walked to their mom. She was sitting on the bench. She saw their faces and knew something was wrong.
+
+"What happened, my loves?" she asked. She hugged them.
+
+"A big boy broke our house, mom. He was mean." Tim said.
+
+"He didn't care, mom. He made us sad." Lily said.
+
+Mom kissed them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. Some people are not kind. But you are. You care about each other and your house. You are creative and smart. I'm proud of you."
+
+She smiled and said, "Let's go home and have some cookies. Maybe we can make another house later. A better one. With more wood and more love."
+
+Tim and Lily smiled. They felt better. They loved their mom. They held her hand and walked home. They still liked to build things with wood and sticks. They hoped the big boy would learn to care too.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their toys. Tom found a big tray and put some cookies on it. He wanted to bake them in the oven.
+
+"Be careful, Tom," Lily said. "The oven is hot. You need a mitt to hold the tray."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He thought he was big and strong. He grabbed the tray with his bare hands and tried to put it in the oven. He felt a sharp pain and let go of the tray. It fell to the floor with a loud bang. The cookies broke and the tray made a dent in the floor.
+
+Tom started to cry. His hands were red and sore. He felt helpless and scared. Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for him, but also a little angry.
+
+"I warned you, Tom," she said. "You should have listened to me. Now you are hurt and we have no cookies."
+
+She helped him to the sink and ran some cold water over his hands. She wrapped them in a towel and gave him a kiss. She told him to be more careful next time.
+
+Tom nodded and said he was sorry. He thanked Lily for being nice to him. He learned his lesson. He decided to listen to Lily more often. She was a good sister and a good chef.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They had many toys and clothes because their parents were wealthy. They did not share with other children who had less.
+
+One day, they saw a big box with a bow near their house. They ran to it and opened it. Inside, they found a shiny blanket that sparkled like the sun. They wanted to wrap themselves in it and keep it.
+
+"Wow, this is so pretty!" Lily said. "Let's take it to our room and play with it."
+
+"No, I want it for myself!" Tom said. "You have enough toys already."
+
+They started to pull the blanket from each other. They did not see the tag on the box that said: "Warning: Do not touch. This blanket is very hot and can burn you."
+
+The blanket got hotter and hotter as they fought. They began to feel pain in their hands and faces. They screamed and dropped the blanket. But it was too late. The blanket had burned their skin and clothes. They cried and called for help.
+
+Their parents came and saw what had happened. They were very angry and sad. They took them to the hospital, but the doctors said they would have scars for life. They also said they had to give away the blanket and all their toys and clothes to the children who had less. Lily and Tom had learned a hard lesson, but they had lost their beauty and their wealth.
+Sara and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sara found a big shell that was pink and shiny. She showed it to Ben and said, "Look, Ben, I found a rare shell. It is so pretty."
+
+Ben was happy for Sara, but he wanted to find something rare too. He looked around and saw something moving in the water. He ran to it and saw a crab. The crab was blue and had big claws. Ben thought it was rare too. He said, "Look, Sara, I found a rare crab. It is so cool."
+
+Sara ran to Ben and saw the crab. She was scared of the crab. She said, "Ben, be careful. The crab can pinch you with its claws. It is not nice."
+
+Ben was not scared of the crab. He wanted to keep it as a pet. He said, "No, Sara, the crab is nice. It is my friend. I will add it to my bucket. I have water and seaweed in my bucket. The crab will like it."
+
+Sara did not think the crab would like the bucket. She said, "Ben, the crab does not want to be in your bucket. It wants to be in the sea. It is its home. You should let it go."
+
+Ben thought about it. He liked the crab, but he did not want to make it sad. He said, "OK, Sara, you are right. I will let the crab go. But can I say goodbye to it first?"
+
+Sara nodded. Ben lifted the crab from the bucket and said, "Goodbye, rare crab. Thank you for being my friend. Have fun in the sea." He gently put the crab back in the water and watched it swim away.
+
+Sara hugged Ben and said, "You are very kind, Ben. I am proud of you. And you still have your rare shell. We can add it to our collection."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Yes, Sara, we can. And maybe we can find more rare things next time. I love the beach."
+
+Mom and Dad came to Sara and Ben and said, "It is time to go home, kids. Did you have fun?"
+
+Sara and Ben said, "Yes, Mom and Dad, we had fun. We found rare things and made a new friend. We love the beach."
+Sam was a stubborn dog. He liked to run and play, but he did not like to share. He had many toys, but he always wanted more. He would borrow toys from other dogs, but he would not give them back.
+
+One day, he saw a big ball in the park. It was red and shiny and bounced high. He wanted to play with it, so he ran to it and grabbed it with his teeth. He did not see that the ball belonged to a girl. The girl was sad and cried. She asked Sam to give her ball back, but he did not listen. He ran away with the ball.
+
+He ran and ran until he came to a shelter. It was a place where people helped dogs and cats who had no home. Sam thought he could hide there with his ball. But he was wrong. The people saw him and tried to catch him. They wanted to help him and find him a home. But Sam did not want their help. He was stubborn and scared. He growled and barked and bit.
+
+He ran out of the shelter and into the street. He did not see the car that was coming fast. He heard a loud horn and a screech. He felt a pain in his leg. He dropped the ball and whimpered.
+
+The girl who owned the ball saw what happened. She ran to Sam and picked up her ball. She was angry at him for taking her ball, but she was also sorry for him. He was hurt and alone. She decided to forgive him and help him. She took him to the shelter and asked the people to take care of him. She said she would come back and visit him.
+
+Sam was surprised by the girl's kindness. He realized he had been wrong to borrow her ball and not give it back. He realized he had been wrong to be stubborn and not trust the people. He felt ashamed and grateful. He licked the girl's hand and wagged his tail. He hoped she would come back and be his friend. He learned to share and to care.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big pile of mail on the porch. They run to it and start to look at the letters.
+
+"Look, this one is for Mommy. It has a pink flower on it," Lily says. She opens the letter and sees a card with a heart.
+
+"Let me see, let me see," Ben says. He grabs the card from Lily and tears it in half.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice. You broke Mommy's card," Lily says. She starts to cry.
+
+"I don't care. It's a silly card. I want to see the other mail," Ben says. He throws the card on the ground and picks up another letter.
+
+Lily is very sad. She wants to make Mommy happy. She thinks of an idea. She takes the card pieces and some glue and tries to put them back together. She covers the tears with stickers and glitter. She writes "I love you Mommy" on the card.
+
+"Look, I fixed the card. It's even prettier now," Lily says. She shows the card to Ben.
+
+"Yuck, that's ugly. You ruined the card. Mommy will be mad at you," Ben says. He snatches the card from Lily and rips it again.
+
+"Stop it, stop it. You're mean. You're a bad brother," Lily says. She pushes Ben and they start to fight.
+
+Mommy comes home and sees the mess. She sees the mail on the floor, the glue and glitter everywhere, and the torn card. She is very angry.
+
+"What did you do? Why did you open my mail? Why did you destroy my card? This was a very special card from Grandma. She made it for me for my birthday. How could you be so naughty?" Mommy says. She scolds Lily and Ben and sends them to their room.
+
+Lily and Ben are sorry. They hug each other and say they are sorry. They wish they could make Mommy happy again. They wish they could see Grandma again. They wish they had not played with the mail. They cry and cry.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big tree with many leaves and a hole under it. They wanted to see what was in the hole, so they went closer.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" they heard a voice from the hole. They were surprised and scared. They did not recognize the voice.
+
+"We are Lily and Tom. We are playing with our ball. Who are you?" they asked.
+
+"I am Bob. I am a squirrel. I live in this hole. This is my home. Do you want to see it?" the voice said.
+
+Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to see Bob's home. They nodded and said yes.
+
+Bob came out of the hole. He was a small brown squirrel with a bushy tail. He looked friendly and happy. He invited Lily and Tom to follow him.
+
+Lily and Tom followed Bob into the hole. They saw many nuts and seeds and some toys. Bob showed them his bed and his pictures. He told them stories about his family and friends. Lily and Tom liked Bob. They thought he was unusual but nice.
+
+They played with Bob for a while. They shared their ball and their snacks. They laughed and had fun. They learned that Bob was different from them, but he was also similar. He liked to play and eat and sleep. He had feelings and dreams. He was a good friend.
+
+Lily and Tom thanked Bob for showing them his home. They said goodbye and went back to their parents. They told them about Bob and what they learned. Their parents smiled and hugged them. They were proud of them. They said that they were brave and kind. They said that they should always respect and appreciate others, even if they are unusual. They said that they can make friends with anyone, if they are open and friendly. Lily and Tom agreed. They were happy. They looked forward to seeing Bob again.
+Lily and Max were going to the airport with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see their grandma and grandpa, who lived far away. They packed their bags, their toys, and their dog, Spot.
+
+Spot was a loyal dog. He loved Lily and Max very much. He always followed them, played with them, and protected them. He was also very smart. He knew how to sit, roll over, and fetch.
+
+At the airport, Lily and Max had to wait in a long line. They were bored and restless. They started to tease each other.
+
+"Max, you are a baby. You still need a pacifier," Lily said.
+
+"No, I don't. You are a baby. You still wear diapers," Max said.
+
+They stuck out their tongues and made faces at each other. Spot watched them and wagged his tail. He thought they were playing.
+
+Suddenly, a loud noise made them jump. It was a big plane taking off. Lily and Max were scared. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+"Mom, Dad, what was that?" they asked.
+
+"It's okay, sweeties. It's just a plane. It's how we are going to fly to grandma and grandpa's house," their mom said.
+
+She and their dad comforted them and gave them kisses. Spot licked their faces and snuggled with them. He made them feel better.
+
+Lily and Max stopped crying and smiled. They said sorry to each other for teasing. They hugged Spot and thanked him for being a loyal dog. They were ready to go on their adventure.
+Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play with their toys in Lily's room. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is a big teddy bear. They call him Mr. Bear. They hug him, dress him, and tell him stories. They think he is very soft and nice.
+
+One day, Lily's mom says they have to go to the store. She tells Lily to put away her toys and get ready. Lily does not want to go. She wants to stay with Max and Mr. Bear.

+
+Lily is sad. She gives Max and Mr. Bear a big kiss and says, "Bye, bye, friends. I will miss you. Be good and wait for me." She puts them on her bed and follows her mom. Max and Mr. Bear look at each other. They are sad too. They want to play with Lily.
+
+After Lily and her mom leave, Max and Mr. Bear hear a loud noise. It is coming from the window. They see a big bird. The bird has a long beak and sharp claws. It looks hungry and mean. It sees Max and Mr. Bear on the bed. It thinks they are food. It flies into the room and lands on the bed. It grabs Max with its beak and tries to fly away.
+
+Max is scared. He cries, "Help, help, Mr. Bear! The bird is taking me!" Mr. Bear is brave. He jumps on the bird and bites its tail. The bird drops Max and flies away. Max and Mr. Bear hug each other. They are happy and safe. They say, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Bear! You saved me! You are my hero!"
+
+They hear the door open. It is Lily and her mom. They are back from the store. Lily runs to her room and sees Max and Mr. Bear on the bed. She is happy to see them. She says, "Hi, hi, friends! I am back! I missed you so much! Did you have fun?" Max and Mr. Bear look at each other and smile. They say, "Yes, Lily, we had fun. We had a big adventure. But we are glad you are back. We love you. You are our best friend." Lily hugs them and says, "I love you too. You are my best friends. You belong with me." They all laugh and play together. They are happy.

+
+But then they smelled something good. It was coming from the kitchen. They ran inside and saw Mom. She was cooking steak. It looked brown and juicy.
+
+"Can we have some, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not yet, my loves. It's not ready. You have to wait a little bit," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat steak. They waited and waited. They looked at the clock. It was very slow.
+
+Finally, Mom said, "OK, it's done. Come and sit at the table. I have a surprise for you."
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the table. They saw plates with steak and salad. They also saw a big cake. It was chocolate and had candles on it.
+
+"Wow, Mom, what is this?" Lily asked.
+
+"It's your birthday cake, my sweet girl. You are three years old today. Happy birthday!" Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily smiled. They hugged Mom. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you."
+
+They ate steak and salad. They were very good. Then they ate cake. It was very sweet. They were very happy. They had a great day.

+
+She picks up the beetle and runs to her mom. "Mom, mom, look what I found!" she says. "It is a beetle. Can I keep it?"
+
+Mom smiles and looks at the beetle. "It is a very pretty beetle, Anna. But beetles need to live outside. They like to eat plants and crawl on the ground. If you keep it inside, it will be sad and sick."
+
+Anna feels sad. She wants to keep the beetle. But she also wants the beetle to be happy. She thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea.
+
+"Mom, can I bring the beetle to the park? Maybe there are more beetles there. Maybe they can be friends. Then I can visit them sometimes."
+
+Mom nods and hugs Anna. "That is a very kind idea, Anna. Yes, you can bring the beetle to the park. But be careful not to hurt it. And remember to say goodbye when you leave."
+
+Anna agrees and puts the beetle in a small box. She and mom go to the park. Anna finds a nice spot with lots of plants and leaves. She opens the box and lets the beetle out. She watches it crawl and fly. She sees some other beetles nearby. She smiles and says, "Bye, bye, beetle. Have fun with your friends. I will come back soon." She waves and leaves with mom.

+But then, they saw a small bird on a branch. The bird looked hungry and sad. It had no blueberries to eat. Ben and Lily observed the bird and felt sorry for it.
+
+"Mom, can we give some blueberries to the bird?" Ben asked.
+
+"That's very thoughtful of you, Ben," Mom said. "Yes, you can. But be gentle and quiet, so you don't scare the bird."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and took some blueberries from their hands. They walked slowly and softly to the bird. They held out their blueberries and said, "Here, bird. You can have some. We want to share with you."
+
+The bird looked at Ben and Lily and saw their kind faces. It hopped closer and took a blueberry from Ben's hand. It pecked it and made a happy sound. Then it took another blueberry from Lily's hand. It pecked it and made another happy sound.
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, bird. We're glad you like them."
+
+The bird flapped its wings and sang a beautiful song. It thanked Ben and Lily for their generosity. Then it flew away, leaving some blueberries on the branch for them.
+
+Ben and Lily picked the blueberries and ate them. They were even sweeter and juicier than before. They felt happy and proud. They had made a new friend and learned to share. Mom hugged them and said, "You are very good children. I love you very much."
+Lily wanted to help her mom with the laundry. She saw a big basket full of clothes and a small basket with soap. She thought she could carry the small basket to the washing machine. She grabbed the handle and lifted it up. It was very heavy.
+
+"Mom, can I help you?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, sweetie, thank you for asking. But be careful, the basket is heavy. You can try to carry it, but if it is too hard, you can ask me for help," Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded and walked slowly to the washing machine. She felt strong and proud. She wanted to show Mom that she could do it. But the basket was heavier than she thought. She stumbled and dropped it on the floor. The soap spilled out and made a mess.
+
+"Oh no, I'm sorry, Mom. I tried to carry it, but it was too heavy. I made a mess," Lily said. She felt sad and ashamed.
+
+Mom came over and hugged her. "It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad at you. You tried your best, and that's what matters. You are a good helper. And you are strong, too. But sometimes, we all need some help. Let's clean up the mess together, okay?" Mom said.
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She felt better. She helped Mom pick up the soap and put it back in the basket. Then they carried it together to the washing machine. Mom gave Lily a reward. She let her push the buttons and start the machine. Lily felt happy and proud. She learned that trying is good, but asking for help is good, too.
+Lila liked to play in the garden. She liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms. She had a modern toy shovel that was pink and shiny. She wanted to find a big worm and show it to her mom.
+
+She dug and dug until she saw something wriggling. She was happy. She reached for the worm, but it was not a worm. It was a snake. It was black and slimy and had sharp teeth. It hissed at her and tried to bite her hand.
+
+Lila was scared. She screamed and dropped the shovel. She ran to the house. She saw her mom in the kitchen. She hugged her mom and cried. Her mom was worried. She asked her what happened.
+
+Lila told her mom about the snake. She said she thought it was a worm. She said she was sorry for leaving the shovel in the garden. Her mom said it was okay. She said she was glad Lila was safe. She said they would go back and get the shovel later.
+
+Her mom took Lila to the bathroom. She wiped her hand with a wet cloth. She checked for any bites or scratches. She said Lila was brave and smart. She said she should always be careful with animals. She said some animals were friendly and some were not.
+
+Lila nodded. She felt better. She said she loved her mom. She said she still liked worms, but not snakes. Her mom smiled. She said she loved her too. She said she liked worms too, but only in books. They hugged and laughed. They went to the living room and read a book about worms. It was a modern book with colorful pictures and funny facts. Lila learned a lot. She forgot about the snake. She was happy.
+Tom and Anna were going to a hotel with their mom and dad. They were very happy. They packed their bags and got in the car. They sang songs and played games on the way.
+
+When they got to the hotel, they saw a big pool and a playground. They wanted to swim and slide and swing. But their mom said, "First, we have to check in and go to our room. Then we can have fun."
+
+They followed their mom and dad to the lobby. There was a lady at a desk. She smiled and said, "Hello, welcome to our hotel. What is your name?"
+
+Their dad said, "We are the Smiths. We have a reservation for two nights."
+
+The lady looked at her computer and frowned. She said, "I'm sorry, there is a problem. We don't have any rooms for you. We are fully booked."
+
+Their dad said, "But we made a reservation a month ago. We have a confirmation number. How can this happen?"
+
+The lady said, "I don't know. There must be a mistake. Maybe someone spoiled our system. I'm very sorry, but we can't help you."
+
+Tom and Anna felt sad and angry. They wanted to stay at the hotel. They wanted to swim and slide and swing. They did not want to go back home. They said, "This is not fair. This is not fun. This is a bad hotel."
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "I know, sweeties. I'm sorry too. But we can't change what happened. We have to find another place to stay. Maybe we can find a better hotel. Maybe we can still have fun. Don't let this spoil our trip. We are still together. We still love each other. We can still be happy."
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird. The bird has a nest on a tree. The nest has many eggs.
+
+"Look, eggs!" Ben says. "I want to see them."
+
+"No, Ben, no!" Lila says. "The bird will be angry. The eggs are hers."
+
+But Ben does not listen. He is brave. He climbs the tree. He reaches the nest. He takes an egg in his hand.
+
+"Wow, it is warm!" he says. "And pretty!"
+
+Lila is scared. She hears the bird. The bird is coming back. The bird is loud. The bird is mad.
+
+"Ben, come down!" Lila says. "The bird is here! The bird will hurt you!"
+
+But Ben does not hear. He is happy. He likes the egg. He lies to Lila. He says, "No, the bird is not here. The bird is far away."
+
+But the bird is not far away. The bird is near. The bird sees Ben. The bird sees the egg. The bird is very mad. The bird flies to Ben. The bird pecks Ben. The bird pecks hard.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. "Help, help, help!"
+
+But Lila cannot help. Lila is on the ground. Lila is sad. Lila cries.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they went to the park with their moms. The park had a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the slide. They took turns to go down. Tom went first, then Lily, then Tom again. But when Lily wanted to go again, Tom said, "No, it's my turn. You go to the swing."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "No, you are not fair. You had two turns. I want to go again." She pushed Tom off the slide. Tom fell on the wet grass. He got dirty and hurt.
+
+Tom cried. His mom came and hugged him. She said, "Are you okay, Tom? What happened?" Tom pointed at Lily and said, "She pushed me. She is mean."
+
+Lily's mom came and scolded her. She said, "Lily, that was not nice. You should not push your friend. You should say sorry and share the slide."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She saw Tom crying. She went to him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was wrong. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Tom looked at Lily. He saw that she was sorry. He said, "Okay, Lily. I forgive you. We can be friends again. But can we play something else? I don't like the slide anymore."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, Tom. Let's play in the sandbox. We can make a castle together."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They held hands and ran to the sandbox. Their moms smiled too. They were happy that their children learned to forgive and share.
+Tom and Lily were playing on the shore. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They also liked to watch the big waves and the boats.
+
+"Look, Lily, a tall boat!" Tom said, pointing to a ship in the water. "It has a flag and a horn."
+
+Lily nodded. She saw the flag and the horn. She also saw some people on the boat. They waved at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Hello, people!" Tom shouted. He waved back.
+
+"Hello, kids!" one of the people shouted. He blew the horn. It made a loud noise.
+
+Tom and Lily laughed. They liked the noise. They tried to make the same noise with their mouths.
+
+"Can you whistle, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not know how to whistle.
+
+"I can whistle, Tom," a voice said behind them. It was their dad. He had come to join them on the shore.
+
+He showed them how to whistle. He put his lips together and blew. He made a soft noise.
+
+"Wow, dad, you can whistle!" Tom said. He tried to copy his dad. He put his lips together and blew. He made a funny noise.
+
+Lily tried too. She put her lips together and blew. She made a squeaky noise.
+
+Tom and Lily giggled. They kept trying to whistle. Their dad smiled. He whistled with them. They had fun on the shore.
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going on a vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. Mom said they were going to a unique place, where they could see many animals and ride on some of them.
+
+"Can we ride on a horse?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe, but there are other animals too. You will see when we get there," Mom said.
+
+They drove for a long time, until they saw a big sign that said "Safari Park". They entered the park and saw many animals. There were lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, and more. Lily and Ben were amazed. They wanted to see them all.
+
+They stopped at a station where they could ride on a camel. Lily and Ben were excited. They climbed on the camel's back, with Mom and Dad behind them. The camel was very tall and hairy. It made a funny noise.
+
+"Wow, this is so cool!" Lily said.
+
+"I like the camel. It is unique," Ben said.
+
+They rode on the camel for a while, and saw more animals. They had a lot of fun. They thanked the camel and the guide, and went to see other things. They had a wonderful vacation.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Tom wanted to feed the ducks, so he took some bread from his bag. Lily wanted to take a photo of the ducks, so she took mom's phone.
+
+"Say cheese, ducks!" Lily said, and pressed the button. But nothing happened. She looked at the phone and saw a black screen. "Oh no, the phone is gone!" she cried.
+
+Mom heard Lily and ran to her. "What's wrong, sweetie?" she asked.
+
+"The phone disappeared, mom! I wanted to take a photo of the ducks, but the phone is gone!" Lily said, and showed mom the phone.
+
+Mom looked at the phone and saw that it was not gone, but very wet. She realized that Lily had dropped the phone in the pond. "Oh, Lily, you were not careful with the phone. It fell in the water and now it doesn't work. That's why the screen is black. The phone is not gone, but it is broken," mom explained.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to break the phone. Can we get it back?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, honey, we can't. The water is too deep and dirty. And the phone is probably very disgusting now. We have to leave it there. Maybe the ducks will like it," mom said.
+
+Tom came back from feeding the ducks. He saw Lily and mom looking sad. "What happened?" he asked.
+
+"Lily broke mom's phone. She dropped it in the pond. Now we can't take photos of the ducks," mom said.
+
+Tom looked at the pond and saw something shiny. He pointed at it and said, "Look, mom, there's the phone! It didn't disappear, it's right there!"
+
+Mom looked at the pond and saw the phone. It was floating on the surface, covered with algae and mud. "Oh, Tom, you're right. There's the phone. But it's still broken and disgusting. We can't use it anymore. And we can't touch it either. It's too dirty and wet," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the phone and felt sorry. They liked mom's phone. They liked to take photos and play games with it. But now they couldn't. They learned a lesson. They had to be careful with things. They had to respect mom's things. They hugged mom and said, "We're sorry, mom. We love you. Can we still play with the ducks?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you too, my darlings. And yes, we can still play with the ducks. But no more phones in the pond, okay?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. No more phones in the pond."
+
+They went back to the ducks and had fun. They forgot about the phone. They didn't need it to enjoy the park. They had each other and mom. And that was enough.
+Sam and Mia were best friends. They liked to watch cartoons together on the big TV. They had a lot of fun laughing at the funny animals and the silly jokes.
+
+One day, Sam came to Mia's house with a new toy. It was a red car that could make noises and lights. Sam was very proud of his car and wanted to show it to Mia. He said, "Look, Mia, this is my new car. It is very cool and fast. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+Mia nodded and reached for the car. But Sam pulled it away and said, "No, no, you can't touch it. It is mine and only mine. You might break it or lose it. Go play with your own toys."
+
+Mia felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with the car too. She thought Sam was being mean and selfish. She said, "Fine, I don't want to play with you or your car. You are not my friend anymore. Go away!"
+
+Sam felt hurt and confused. He didn't mean to make Mia cry. He just wanted to keep his car safe and shiny. He said, "Mia, please don't be mad at me. I'm sorry. I'll let you play with my car later. Can we still watch cartoons together?"
+
+Mia shook her head and ran to her room. She slammed the door and turned on her TV. She tried to watch her favorite cartoon, but she couldn't enjoy it. She missed Sam and his laughter. She wished they could be friends again.
+
+Sam sat on the couch and looked at his car. He realized he had been too harsh and greedy. He didn't want to lose Mia over a toy. He wanted to share and have fun with her. He decided to say sorry and make up with her.
+
+He knocked on Mia's door and said, "Mia, can I come in? I have something for you."
+
+Mia opened the door and saw Sam holding his car. He smiled and said, "Mia, I'm really sorry for being rude and stingy. You are my best friend and I don't want to fight with you. Here, you can have my car. It is a gift for you. I hope you like it."
+
+Mia was surprised and happy. She hugged Sam and said, "Thank you, Sam. You are very kind and generous. I'm sorry for being mean and grumpy. You are my best friend too. I forgive you."
+
+They smiled and hugged again. Then they went to the living room and watched cartoons together. They had a lot of fun laughing at the funny animals and the silly jokes. They learned that friendship is more important than toys, and that saying sorry and forgiving can make things better.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was too cold. Mom said they could play in the kitchen, but they had to be careful. Lily and Ben liked the kitchen. There were many things to see and touch.
+
+They saw the freezer. It was big and white and made a funny noise. They opened the door and looked inside. There were many boxes and bags and ice. They saw a big bag with a picture of a fish. Lily liked fish. She wanted to see the fish.
+
+"Let's open the bag and see the fish," she said to Ben.
+
+"OK," Ben said. He liked fish too. He helped Lily open the bag. They took out the fish. It was cold and hard and had a shiny skin. They put it on the table.
+
+"Look, it has eyes and a mouth and a tail," Lily said. She touched the fish. It felt slippery.
+
+"Maybe it's sleeping," Ben said. He touched the fish too. It felt smooth.
+
+"Maybe we can wake it up," Lily said. She had an idea. "Let's put it in the sink and give it some water."
+
+"OK," Ben said. He liked the idea. He picked up the fish and carried it to the sink. Lily turned on the tap and filled the sink with water. They put the fish in the water and waited.
+
+But the fish did not move. It did not open its eyes or its mouth or its tail. It did not swim or splash or make any sound. It just lay there, still and cold.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad. They wanted the fish to be happy and alive. They did not know that the fish was dead. They did not know that the freezer had kept the fish from rotting. They did not know that they had done a bad thing.
+
+They heard Mom coming. They were scared. They did not want Mom to see the fish. They did not want Mom to be angry or sad. They quickly took the fish out of the sink and put it back in the bag. They ran to the freezer and opened the door. They tried to put the bag in the freezer, but it was too late.
+
+Mom saw them. She saw the fish. She saw the water. She saw the mess. She was angry and sad. She yelled at Lily and Ben. She told them to go to their room. She told them they had wasted the fish. She told them they had made a poor choice.
+
+Lily and Ben cried. They did not understand. They did not mean to waste the fish. They did not mean to make a poor choice. They just wanted to see the fish. They just wanted to play. They just wanted to let the fish be free.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their blocks. They like to build towers and bridges and houses. They also like to count how many blocks they have.
+
+"Look, I have ten blocks!" Tom says, holding up his tower.
+
+"I have nine blocks," Lily says, showing her bridge. "But mine is longer than yours."
+
+They both laugh and keep playing. They wonder what else they can make with their blocks.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise outside. It sounds like a big truck or a plane. They run to the window and look.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asks, pointing at the sky.
+
+"It's a helicopter!" Lily says, excited. "It has a big fan on top and it can fly."
+
+They watch the helicopter fly over their house and disappear. They count how many times they see it.
+
+"One, two, three, four, five!" Tom says.
+
+"Wow, that was cool!" Lily says.
+
+They go back to their blocks and try to make a helicopter of their own. They have fun and learn new things.
+Lily was very happy today. She was going to a party with her mom and dad. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She looked in the mirror and smiled.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" her mom asked. She was wearing a blue dress and a necklace. She looked very pretty.
+
+"Yes, Mom, I'm ready!" Lily said. She ran to the door and waited for her dad.
+
+Her dad came down the stairs. He was wearing a black suit and a tie. He looked very smart.
+
+"Wow, Dad, you look like a king!" Lily said. She hugged him and gave him a kiss.
+
+"Thank you, Lily, you look like a princess!" her dad said. He hugged her back and gave her a kiss.
+
+They went to the car and drove to the party. There were many people there. Some of them were wearing suits and dresses, like Lily's mom and dad. Some of them were wearing costumes, like animals and superheroes.
+
+Lily saw a boy wearing a black suit and a mask. He looked like a bat. She liked bats. She wanted to say hello to him.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she asked.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. I'm Batman," he said.
+
+"Wow, you're Batman? That's cool!" Lily said.
+
+"Thank you. You're very nice," Ben said.
+
+They started to play together. They ran around the room, pretending to fly and fight bad guys. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Lily realized that Ben was her friend. She liked him very much. She gave him a hug and a smile.
+
+"Can we be friends, Batman?" she asked.
+
+"Of course, Lily. You're my friend," he said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They were very happy.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They liked to share their toys and their snacks. They liked to make each other laugh.
+
+One day, Ben had to go away with his family. He told Lily that he would be back soon. He gave her a hug and a kiss. He said, "I will miss you, Lily. You are my best friend."
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want Ben to go away. She said, "I will miss you too, Ben. You are my best friend. Will you write to me?"
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, I will write to you. And I will bring you a present. Do you like jelly?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, I like jelly. It is sweet and wobbly. Thank you, Ben."
+
+Ben waved goodbye. He got in the car with his family. He looked out the window and saw Lily waving back. He felt a little scared. He did not know where he was going. He hoped he would see Lily again soon.
+
+Lily watched the car drive away. She felt a little scared too. She did not know when Ben would come back. She hoped he would have fun. She went inside her house and hugged her teddy bear. She wished she had some jelly to cheer her up.
+Tom and Jen are twins, but they are very different. Tom likes to play with cars and trucks, and Jen likes to play with dolls and books. Tom likes to eat oat with milk and honey, and Jen likes to eat oat with fruit and nuts. Tom likes to sleep with a blue blanket, and Jen likes to sleep with a pink blanket.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad have to go to work, and they ask Grandma to watch Tom and Jen. Grandma is very nice, but she does not know what Tom and Jen like. She makes oat for breakfast, but she puts fruit and nuts in both bowls. She gives Tom and Jen their bowls and says, "Eat up, my dears. Oat is good for you."
+
+Tom looks at his bowl and makes a face. He does not like fruit and nuts. He says, "No, thank you, Grandma. I want milk and honey." Jen looks at her bowl and smiles. She likes fruit and nuts. She says, "Thank you, Grandma. This is yummy."
+
+Grandma is confused. She says, "But you are twins. You should like the same things." Tom and Jen shake their heads. They say, "No, Grandma. We are different. We like different things."
+
+Grandma smiles. She says, "I see. Well, I have some milk and honey in the fridge. I can make another bowl of oat for you, Tom. And Jen, you can have some more fruit and nuts if you want." Tom and Jen nod. They say, "Thank you, Grandma. You are very nice."
+
+Grandma makes another bowl of oat for Tom, and gives him some milk and honey. She gives Jen some more fruit and nuts. They eat their oat and say, "Mmm, this is good." Grandma says, "I'm glad you like it. Now, let's go and play. What do you want to play with?"
+
+Tom says, "I want to play with cars and trucks." Jen says, "I want to play with dolls and books." Grandma says, "Okay. You can play with whatever you want. But remember to share and be kind to each other." Tom and Jen say, "Okay, Grandma. We will."
+
+They go to their room and play with their toys. They are different, but they are also the same. They are twins, and they love each other. And they love Grandma, too.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to travel. They had a big car with four wheels and a roof. They put their bags and toys in the car and went to see new places.
+
+One day, they drove to a big mountain. It was very high and had white snow on top. Tom and Lily wanted to play in the snow and make a snowman. They drove up the mountain and looked for a good spot.
+
+But the road was very narrow and twisty. Tom had to turn the car a lot to follow the road. Lily felt sick and scared. She did not like the turns. She wanted to go back down.
+
+"Tom, stop the car!" she said. "I don't want to go up anymore. It's too cold and too scary. Let's go back!"
+
+Tom did not want to stop. He wanted to see the snow and have fun. He liked the turns. He thought they were exciting.
+
+"No, Lily, we are almost there. Don't be a baby. It's not cold and not scary. It's fun. Look at the view!" he said.
+
+He kept driving up the mountain. Lily felt worse and worse. She started to cry. She did not like Tom anymore. She wished she had a different friend.
+
+They reached the top of the mountain. Tom parked the car and got out. He saw the snow and smiled. He ran to it and started to make a snowball.
+
+Lily stayed in the car. She was cold and sad. She did not want to play with Tom. She wanted to go home.
+
+Tom threw the snowball at the car. It hit the window and made a loud noise. Lily screamed. She was angry and scared. She opened the door and got out.
+
+"Tom, you are mean! You made me sick and sad. You don't care about me. You only care about yourself. I don't want to be your friend anymore!" she said.
+
+She ran away from Tom and the car. She did not know where to go. She was lost and alone. She was cold and scared. She wished she had listened to her mom and stayed home.
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they both want to play with the red car.
+
+"Give me the car!" Sam says.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom says.
+
+They pull the car from each other. The car breaks in two. Sam and Tom are very sad and angry.
+
+They start to yell and hit each other. Sam bites Tom's arm. Tom bites Sam's leg. They both cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She is busy in the kitchen. She runs to their room. She sees Sam and Tom biting each other. She is very mad.
+
+"Stop it, boys!" Mom says. "Biting is bad! You hurt each other!"
+
+She takes a belt from the closet. She spanks Sam and Tom with the belt. They both say sorry.
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I love you, boys. But you have to share and be nice. Or you will get the belt again."
+
+Sam and Tom nod. They hug each other and say sorry. They fix the car with tape. They play with the car together. They are happy. Mom is happy too.
+Tom and Sue like to play on the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. Sometimes they see crabs and fish in the water. They are happy.
+
+One day, they see a big boat on the sea. It has many colors and flags. They wonder what is on the boat. They run to the shore and wave at the boat. They hope the boat will come closer.
+
+"Hello, boat!" Tom shouts. "Do you have toys for us?"
+
+"Maybe they have candy!" Sue says. "Or books or dolls!"
+
+The boat does not hear them. It sails away. Tom and Sue are sad. They want to receive something from the boat.
+
+The tide comes in. The water gets higher and higher. It reaches their sand castles and washes them away. It reaches their shells and takes them back to the sea. It reaches their feet and makes them wet and cold.
+
+"Go away, water!" Sue cries. "You are mean and harsh! You ruin our fun!"
+
+Tom hugs Sue. He tries to make her feel better. He says, "Don't be sad, Sue. The water is not mean. It is just doing what it does. It comes and goes. Maybe tomorrow it will go away and we can play again. Maybe we will see another boat. Maybe it will have something for us."
+
+Sue nods. She wipes her tears. She says, "Maybe you are right, Tom. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Let's go home now. Mom will make us hot chocolate and cookies. That will make us happy."
+
+They hold hands and walk back to their house. They leave the beach and the water behind. They still hope to receive something from a boat someday.
+Anna and Ben are friends who live on the same street. They like to play together after school. One day, Anna gets a new bike for her birthday. It is shiny and pink and has a basket and a bell. Ben sees Anna riding her bike and feels envious. He wishes he had a bike like that.
+
+"Can I try your bike, Anna?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, Ben. You can try it for a little bit. But be careful, it is new and I don't want it to get dirty or broken," Anna says.
+
+Ben nods and takes the bike. He rides it up and down the street. He likes how fast and smooth it is. He thinks it is much better than his old bike, which is rusty and squeaky and has a flat tire. He decides he wants to keep Anna's bike for himself.
+
+"Anna, I have a good idea. Why don't we trade bikes? You can have my bike and I can have yours. It will be fun to try something different," Ben suggests.
+
+Anna looks at Ben and shakes her head. She does not like his idea. She loves her bike and does not want to give it up. She thinks Ben is being selfish and greedy.
+
+"No, Ben. That is not a good idea. That is a bad idea. This is my bike and I want to keep it. You can borrow it sometimes, but you have to give it back. And you have to be nice and share. That is what friends do," Anna says.
+
+Ben feels ashamed. He knows Anna is right. He is being a bad friend. He gives Anna back her bike and says he is sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. You are a good friend. I was being silly and mean. I don't need your bike. I'm happy with mine. Can we still play together?" Ben asks.
+
+Anna smiles and hugs Ben. She forgives him and says they can still play together. They ride their bikes side by side and have fun. They learn that being envious is not good and that being grateful and kind is better.
+Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat waffles for breakfast. But they had a problem. Their mom was still sleeping and they could not make waffles by themselves.
+
+They had an idea. They saw a big sack in the kitchen. It was full of flour. They thought they could use the flour to make waffles. They dragged the sack to the table and opened it. They poured some flour on a plate and added some water. They mixed it with a spoon. It looked like dough.
+
+They put the dough in the toaster. They waited for the waffles to pop out. But they did not. The toaster made a loud noise and smoke came out. The dough was stuck inside. It smelled bad.
+
+Their mom woke up. She smelled the smoke and ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw the sack, the plate, the spoon, the toaster and the dough. She was angry.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked Lily and Tom.
+
+"We wanted to make waffles, mom," Lily said.
+
+"But you can't make waffles with flour and water. You need eggs, milk, sugar and baking powder. And you can't put dough in the toaster. You need a waffle iron. You made a big mess. And you wasted a lot of flour. That was for making bread," mom said.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We were hungry," Tom said.
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was tired. She hugged Lily and Tom.
+
+"It's okay. I know you were hungry. But next time, please wait for me to wake up. I will make you waffles. And please don't touch the sack. It is heavy and hairy. It can hurt you," mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They said sorry again. They helped mom clean the kitchen. Then they ate some cereal and milk. They decided to wait for mom to make waffles another day. They learned their lesson.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to spin on the round thing that went fast. They held on tight and laughed as they spun and spun.
+
+"Look, a zip!" Lily said, pointing to the sky. She saw a shiny thing that moved very fast and made a loud noise.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asked, curious.
+
+"It is a plane. It goes to distant places, far away from here," Lily said. She had learned about planes from a book.
+
+"I want to go on a plane someday. Do you?" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, me too. Maybe we can see new things and make new friends," Lily said.
+
+They stopped spinning and looked at the plane until it was gone. Then they ran to the swings and played some more. They had fun in the park.
+Lily and Ben went to the circus with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals and people do funny and amazing things. They liked the clown best. He made them laugh with his jokes and tricks.
+
+The clown had a big bag of toys. He asked the children to help him sort them by color. Lily and Ben ran to the front and took some toys from the bag. Lily had a red ball, a blue car, and a yellow duck. Ben had a green frog, a purple hat, and a pink flower.
+
+"Can you sort these toys by color?" the clown asked. "Put the red ones here, the blue ones there, and so on."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and started to sort the toys. They put the red ball and the pink flower in one pile, the blue car and the purple hat in another pile, and the green frog and the yellow duck in a third pile.
+
+The clown looked at their piles and shook his head. "No, no, no," he said. "That's not how you sort by color. You mixed them up. Red and pink are not the same. Blue and purple are not the same. Green and yellow are not the same."
+
+Lily and Ben felt confused. They thought they did it right. They looked at the clown and asked, "Why not?"
+
+The clown smiled and said, "Because red and pink are different shades of the same color. So are blue and purple, and green and yellow. You have to sort them by the basic colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. Like this." He took the toys and sorted them into four piles, one for each color.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the clown's piles and understood. They said, "Oh, we see. Thank you, clown. You are very smart."
+
+The clown said, "You're welcome, children. You are very brave and kind. But you know what? I have a secret. I am not really smart. I am very weak. I can't do any of the things that the other circus people can do. I can't jump, or swing, or balance, or juggle. I can only sort toys by color. That's why I need your help."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the clown. They said, "Don't be sad, clown. You are not weak. You are very funny and nice. You make us happy. We like you very much."
+
+The clown felt happy. He said, "Thank you, children. You are very sweet and generous. You make me happy too. I like you very much too." He gave them each a hug and a toy. Then he said, "Now, let's go and watch the rest of the show. Maybe we can learn something new."
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. They ran to the slide and wanted to go first.
+
+"Me first!" Ben shouted.
+
+"No, me first!" Lily yelled.
+
+They pushed and pulled each other, but no one would yield. They did not see the elderly lady who was walking her dog near the slide. She was very kind and loved children, but she was also very frail and could not walk fast.
+
+The lady saw the twins and smiled. She wanted to say hello and pet their hair, but she did not want to disturb their game. She waited for them to finish and move away from the slide. But they did not move. They kept fighting and shouting.
+
+The lady's dog was very curious and friendly. He saw the slide and wanted to try it. He ran to the slide and jumped on it. He slid down very fast and very happy. He did not see the twins either.
+
+The twins were so busy arguing that they did not hear the dog. They did not see him until he was right in front of them. He bumped into them and knocked them down. They all fell to the ground with a thud.
+
+The lady gasped and ran to them. She was very worried and sorry. She hoped they were not hurt. She helped them up and checked them. They were not hurt, but they were very wet. The dog had licked their faces and made them wet.
+
+The twins stopped fighting and looked at the dog. They saw his wagging tail and his tongue. They felt his fur and his nose. They realized he was very cute and very friendly. They smiled and laughed. They forgot their anger and hugged the dog.
+
+The lady was relieved and happy. She saw their smiles and heard their laughter. She introduced herself and her dog. She said his name was Spot. She asked them their names and ages. She said they were very brave and very sweet.
+
+The twins liked the lady and Spot. They said they were sorry for being rude and loud. They said they wanted to be friends. They asked if they could play with Spot. The lady said yes, of course. She said they could take turns on the slide. She said they should yield to each other and share. She said that was the nice thing to do.
+
+The twins agreed and nodded. They thanked the lady and Spot. They took turns on the slide and played with Spot. They had a lot of fun and learned a lesson. They decided to yield more often and fight less. They decided to be more careful and kind. They decided to make more friends like the lady and Spot.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with a ball. They have to kick the ball into a big box. The box is the goal.
+
+Tom and Mia take turns to kick the ball. Sometimes they miss the box. Sometimes they hit the box. They laugh and cheer. They have fun.
+
+The game is almost over. Tom and Mia have the same number of goals. They both want to win. They both want the victory. They kick the ball one more time.
+
+The ball flies in the air. It goes very fast. It goes very high. It goes towards the box. It goes inside the box. It is a goal!
+
+Tom and Mia look at the ball. They look at each other. They smile. They clap. They hug. They are both happy. They are both grateful. They share the victory. They are good friends.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to question everything. They asked their mom and dad many things, like why the sky was blue, why the sun was hot, and why the moon changed shape. Sometimes their parents knew the answers, and sometimes they said they did not know.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big globe that showed the earth. They saw many colors and shapes on the globe, and they wanted to know more.
+
+"Mom, what is this?" Lila asked, pointing to a green part.
+
+"That is a continent, Lila. It is a big piece of land where many people and animals live. This one is called Africa," mom said.
+
+"And what is this?" Ben asked, pointing to a blue part.
+
+"That is an ocean, Ben. It is a big body of water where many fish and plants live. This one is called the Pacific," mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben looked at the globe with wonder. They saw that the earth was very big and had many different parts. They wanted to see them all.
+
+"Mom, can we go to Africa and the Pacific?" Lila asked.
+
+"Maybe someday, Lila. But you know, you don't have to go far to see amazing things. The earth is full of unique and beautiful places, even near our home. Do you want to see some?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, yes!" Lila and Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and took them by the hand. She led them to a flower garden, where they saw many colors and smells. She showed them a butterfly, a bee, and a ladybug. She told them how they helped the flowers grow and make honey. She took them to a pond, where they saw a duck, a frog, and a turtle. She told them how they swam and dived and made sounds. She took them to a hill, where they saw a tree, a bird, and a squirrel. She told them how they grew and flew and climbed.
+
+Lila and Ben learned many new things. They saw that the earth was full of life and wonder. They thanked their mom for showing them.
+
+"Mom, you are the best!" Lila and Ben said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "You are the best, too. You are my unique and special twins. And you know what? You are part of the earth, too. You are part of its beauty and mystery. Never stop questioning and exploring, my loves. You will always find something new."
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun making noises and stories with their toys.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast and strong!" Tom said, zooming his car around the couch.
+
+"My doll is pretty and nice, she likes to sing and dance!" Lily said, rocking her doll in her arms.
+
+They saw a shiny thing on the floor. It was a pin that mom had dropped when she was sewing. They did not know what it was, but it looked interesting.
+
+"Look, what is that?" Lily asked, pointing at the pin.
+
+"I don't know, let's see!" Tom said, running towards the pin.
+
+"Wait, Tom, be careful!" Lily said, following him.
+
+Tom picked up the pin and felt something sharp. He cried out in pain and dropped the pin. He had a red spot on his finger where the pin had poked him.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts!" Tom said, holding his finger.
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw the pin on the floor and remembered what mom had told her.
+
+"Tom, that is a pin, it is not a toy. Mom said pins are for sewing, not for playing. She said pins can hurt you if you touch them. She warned us to stay away from them." Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't know. It looked smooth and shiny, I wanted to see it." Tom said.
+
+"It's okay, Tom, I wanted to see it too. But now we know, pins are bad. Let's go to mom, she can make your finger better." Lily said.
+
+They left their toys and went to find mom. Mom saw Tom's finger and put a band-aid on it. She kissed him and Lily and told them she loved them.
+
+"Mom, we learned something today. Pins are not toys, they are sharp and hurt. You were right to warn us." Lily said.
+
+"That's good, Lily, I'm proud of you and Tom. You are smart and brave. But next time, if you see something you don't know, ask me first, okay?" Mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom, we will. We love you, mom." Lily and Tom said.
+
+They hugged mom and went back to play with their toys. They were happy and careful. They did not touch the pin again.
+Tom and Mia were very thirsty. They had been walking in the hot sand for a long time. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw a green spot far away. They hoped it was an oasis.
+
+"Look, Mia, maybe there is water there!" Tom said.
+
+"Let's go, Tom, maybe we can drink and rest there!" Mia said.
+
+They ran towards the green spot. But as they got closer, they saw something scary. There were big lions lying under the trees. The lions had sharp teeth and claws. They looked hungry and angry. The oasis was dangerous.
+
+"Oh no, Mia, lions! We can't go there!" Tom said.
+
+"What do we do, Tom? We need water!" Mia said.
+
+They looked around. They saw a small hill nearby. They ran to the hill. They climbed to the top. They saw a little stream of water on the other side. The stream was clear and cool. There were no lions there.
+
+"Look, Mia, water! We can drink there!" Tom said.
+
+"Let's go, Tom, we are safe there!" Mia said.
+
+They ran down the hill. They reached the stream. They drank the water. They felt better. They smiled at each other. They had found water and shade. They had escaped the lions. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Ben has a dragon. Ben likes to make the dragon roar and fly around. Lily likes to dress up the doll and comb her hair.
+
+"Look at my dragon!" Ben says. "He is big and strong and can breathe fire!"
+
+"Look at my doll!" Lily says. "She is pretty and kind and can sing songs!"
+
+Ben thinks the doll is boring. He wants to play with the dragon. He grabs the doll from Lily and throws it on the floor.
+
+"Hey!" Lily cries. "That is rude! Give me back my doll!"
+
+Ben laughs. He makes the dragon stare at the doll. He says the dragon is hungry and wants to eat the doll.
+
+"No!" Lily screams. "Stop it! That is mean!"
+
+Lily runs to the doll and picks her up. She hugs her and checks if she is okay. She sees a scale on the doll's dress. It is from the dragon. She is angry.
+
+She throws the scale at Ben. It hits him on the nose. He feels a sting and drops the dragon.
+
+"Ow!" Ben says. "That hurts! Why did you do that?"
+
+"Because you were rude and mean!" Lily says. "You should not take my doll and make your dragon stare at her!"
+
+Ben rubs his nose. He feels sorry. He picks up the dragon and gives it to Lily.
+
+"Here," he says. "You can play with the dragon. I am sorry I was rude and mean."
+
+Lily looks at the dragon. She sees it has a smile and a sparkle in its eye. She thinks it is not so bad.
+
+"Thank you," she says. "You can play with the doll. I am sorry I threw the scale at you."
+
+Ben looks at the doll. He sees it has a bow and a ribbon in its hair. He thinks it is not so boring.
+
+They smile at each other. They decide to share their toys and play together. They are happy.
+Sara was happy. She was going to a party with her mom and dad. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She combed her hair and made a twist. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
+
+"Are you ready, Sara?" her mom called from downstairs.
+
+"Yes, mom!" Sara said and ran down the stairs. She saw her dad waiting by the door. He had a big box in his hands. It was a present for the birthday boy.
+
+"Let's go, Sara. The party is at Jake's house. He is your friend from preschool, remember?" her dad said.
+
+Sara nodded. She liked Jake. He was funny and kind. He shared his toys and his snacks. She hoped he would like the present.
+
+They got in the car and drove to Jake's house. Sara saw balloons and streamers on the fence. She heard music and laughter. She felt excited.
+
+They rang the doorbell and Jake's mom opened the door. She smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Welcome, Sara and family! We are so glad you came. Jake is in the backyard with the other kids. Come on in!" she said.
+
+Sara followed Jake's mom to the backyard. She saw a big cake, a pinata, and a clown. She also saw many kids, some she knew and some she didn't. She looked for Jake.
+
+She saw him by the swing. He was wearing a blue hat and a green shirt. He was holding a balloon. He saw Sara and waved.
+
+"Hi, Sara! Come and play with me!" he said.
+
+Sara ran to Jake and gave him a hug. She handed him the box.
+
+"Happy birthday, Jake! This is for you!" she said.
+
+Jake opened the box and gasped. It was a toy train. He loved trains. He hugged Sara again.
+
+"Thank you, Sara! This is the best present ever! You are the best friend ever!" he said.
+
+Sara and Jake played with the train. They had fun. They ate cake and candy. They hit the pinata and got more candy. They laughed at the clown. They had a great time.
+
+Sara was happy. She was at a party with her friend. She forgot about the harsh words that Billy said to her at preschool. He said she was ugly and stupid. He made her cry. He was mean.
+
+But Sara didn't care about Billy. She had Jake. He was nice. He made her smile. He was her friend.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big box near a tree. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tim said.
+
+"Maybe it has toys or candy!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the box and lifted the lid. They were surprised by what they saw. A man was hiding in the box. He had a mask, a hat and a bag. He looked angry and scared.
+
+"Who are you?" Tim asked.
+
+"Shh! Don't tell anyone!" the man said. "I'm a robber. I took money from the bank. The law is looking for me. They have cars and sirens and guns. I need to hide here until it is dark."
+
+Tim and Lily did not like the man. He was bad and mean. He broke the law. He did not share his money. He made a lot of noise.
+
+"That's not nice!" Lily said. "You should give the money back. The law will find you anyway. You can't stay in our park. This is our place to play."
+
+The man did not listen to Lily. He told them to go away. He said he would hurt them if they did not leave him alone. He closed the lid of the box.
+
+Tim and Lily were scared and sad. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to tell someone about the man. They looked around and saw a dull car parked near the gate. It had a sign that said "Police". They ran to the car and knocked on the window.
+
+A woman opened the door. She had a badge, a hat and a gun. She was a law officer. She smiled at Tim and Lily.
+
+"Hello, kids. What can I do for you?" she asked.
+
+Tim and Lily told her about the man in the box. They said he was a robber and he had money from the bank. They said he was hiding in the park.
+
+The woman thanked Tim and Lily. She said they were brave and smart. She said they helped the law catch the bad man. She called her friends on the radio. They came with more cars and sirens and guns. They opened the box and took the man away. They gave him handcuffs and put him in the car.
+
+Tim and Lily were happy and proud. They helped the law do its job. They made the park safe and fun again. They went back to play with their toys and candy. They forgot about the man in the box.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, hairy dog. The dog is very friendly. He wags his tail and licks their faces.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Tom says. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks. He does not have a name. He is a stray dog. He lives in the park. He is hungry and lonely.
+
+"Can we be your friends?" Jen asks. "We can give you food and hugs."
+
+The dog barks again. He is happy. He likes Tom and Jen. They are kind and sweet.
+
+They go to the store. They buy some dog food and a collar. They put the collar on the dog. They write his name on it. They call him Spot.
+
+"Spot, you are our dog now," Tom says. "We will take you home and love you."
+
+They walk to Tom's house. They meet Tom's mom. She is surprised to see the dog.
+
+"Who is this?" she asks.
+
+"This is Spot," Tom says. "He is our new friend. He was a stray dog. He was sad and hungry. Can we keep him, please?"
+
+Tom's mom looks at Spot. He is big and hairy. He has a wide smile. He looks friendly and happy.
+
+"Well, he is a very cute dog," she says. "But he needs a bath. He is dirty and smelly. He might have fleas or germs. We don't want him to rot or get sick."
+
+"OK, mom," Tom says. "We will give him a bath. We will make him clean and shiny."
+
+They take Spot to the bathroom. They fill the tub with water and soap. They wash Spot. They scrub his fur and rinse his ears. They dry him with a towel. They brush his hair. They make him smell good.
+
+"Spot, you are a beautiful dog," Jen says. "You are not dirty and smelly anymore. You are clean and shiny. You are our best friend."
+
+Spot barks. He is grateful. He loves Tom and Jen. He loves Tom's mom. He loves his new home. He is not a stray dog anymore. He is a happy dog.
+Lily and Sam love to watch films with their mom and dad. They like films with animals, songs and jokes. Sometimes they watch films on the big screen at the cinema, and sometimes they watch films on the small screen at home.
+
+One day, they watch a film about fish at the cinema. The film shows many fish of different colors, shapes and sizes. Some fish are big and scary, some fish are small and cute, and some fish are funny and silly. Lily and Sam like to see the fish swim and play in the water.
+
+The film also shows the deep water, where it is dark and cold. The deep water has many things that Lily and Sam do not know. There are plants, rocks, caves and bubbles. There are also fish that glow, fish that hide, fish that sting and fish that bite.
+
+Lily and Sam notice a fish that looks like a star. It has five arms and a round body. It is purple and yellow and shiny. It moves slowly on the rocks. Lily and Sam think it is pretty and want to touch it.
+
+But then, they notice another fish that looks like a snake. It has a long body and a big mouth. It is green and black and slimy. It moves fast in the water. Lily and Sam think it is scary and want to run away.
+
+The snake fish sees the star fish and wants to eat it. It swims towards it and opens its mouth. Lily and Sam scream and cover their eyes. They do not want to see the star fish get eaten.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise and see a big splash. They open their eyes and see a dolphin. The dolphin is a big fish that is friendly and smart. It has a long nose and a fin. It is gray and white and smooth. It jumps out of the water and hits the snake fish with its nose. The snake fish is scared and swims away. The star fish is safe and happy. The dolphin smiles and winks at Lily and Sam.
+
+Lily and Sam clap and cheer. They like the dolphin and the star fish. They do not like the snake fish. They are glad the film has a happy ending. They hug their mom and dad and say thank you for taking them to the cinema. They want to watch more films about fish.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, he is! But he looks cold. He needs a vest," Ben says.
+
+They run to the house and look for a vest. They find a red one in the closet. It is warm and soft. They put it on the snowman.
+
+"There, now he is warm and cozy," Lily says.
+
+They hug the snowman and smile.
+
+But then, the sun comes out. It is bright and hot. The snow starts to melt. The snowman starts to drip.
+
+"Oh no, our snowman is melting!" Ben says.
+
+"We have to save him!" Lily says.
+
+They grab a towel and run to the snowman. They try to wipe the water off him. But it is too late. The snowman is gone. Only the hat, the scarf, the vest, the carrot and the rocks are left.
+
+They are very sad.
+
+"Bye bye, snowman. We love you," Lily says.
+
+"Maybe we can make another one tomorrow," Ben says.
+
+They pick up the things and go back to the house. They hope for more snow.
+Lia and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a game. They pretend to be hunters. They use sticks as spears. They look for animals to hunt.
+
+One day, they see a big bird. It has yellow and green feathers. It is on a tree. Lia and Sam are excited. They want to catch the bird. They hide behind a bush. They whisper to each other.
+
+"I have a good spear. It is long and sharp. I can throw it far." Sam says.
+
+"I have a good spear too. It is strong and smooth. I can aim well." Lia says.
+
+They decide to take turns. Sam goes first. He runs out of the bush. He throws his spear at the bird. But he misses. The bird flies away. Sam is sad.
+
+Lia goes next. She walks out of the bush. She holds her spear. She waits for the bird to come back. She sees the bird. It lands on another tree. Lia throws her spear at the bird. She hits it. The bird falls down. Lia is happy.
+
+She runs to the bird. She picks it up. She shows it to Sam. Sam is happy too. They hug each other. They have caught the bird.
+
+They decide to name the bird. They think of a good name. They call it Sunny. They say Sunny is their friend. They do not want to hurt Sunny. They let Sunny go. Sunny flies away. Sunny is free.
+
+Lia and Sam wave to Sunny. They say goodbye. They are proud of their spears. They are proud of their game. They are proud of their friendship. They go home. They tell their moms and dads about their adventure. They have a good day.
+Sam and Lily were excited to go to the zoo with their mom. They wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, and the penguins. Mom said they had to listen to a lecture first, to learn about the animals and how to be safe. Sam and Lily nodded, but they were not very interested in the lecture.
+
+The lecture was in a big room with many chairs and a screen. A man with a microphone talked and showed pictures of the animals. He said they were all very special and needed our help to protect them. He also said some of them were very dangerous and we should never get too close or touch them. Sam and Lily tried to pay attention, but they were bored. They looked at their mom, who smiled and whispered, "Just a little longer, then we can go see the animals."
+
+Sam and Lily decided to play a game. They pretended they were animals and made noises and gestures. Sam was a lion and roared and scratched his claws. Lily was a monkey and chattered and swung her arms. They had fun, but they were also very loud. The man with the microphone stopped talking and looked at them. He frowned and said, "Please be quiet, children. This is a lecture, not a playground. You are disturbing the other people who want to learn."
+
+Sam and Lily felt ashamed and scared. They stopped playing and sat still. They looked at their mom, who also frowned and said, "I'm sorry, sir. They are just excited to see the animals. They didn't mean to be rude." The man with the microphone nodded and said, "I understand, but they need to learn to respect the rules and the animals. They could get in trouble or hurt if they don't."
+
+Sam and Lily felt sorry and nodded. They decided to listen to the rest of the lecture and be good. They learned some interesting facts and tips about the animals. They also saw a picture of a penguin that made them laugh. The man with the microphone smiled and said, "That's the end of the lecture. Thank you for your attention and enjoy your visit to the zoo."
+
+Sam and Lily clapped and cheered. They were happy to go see the animals. They followed their mom out of the room and to the gate. They saw a sign that said, "Penguins this way." They ran towards it, excited to see the funny birds. They didn't notice a small hole in the fence. They leaned over to get a better view. They didn't see the penguin that popped out of the hole and bit Sam's finger. They screamed and ran back to their mom, who hugged them and said, "What happened?" They told her about the penguin and showed her Sam's finger, which was bleeding. Mom said, "Oh no, are you okay? We need to find a nurse and get you a band-aid. Maybe you should have listened to the lecture more carefully." Sam and Lily nodded and said, "We're sorry, mom. We learned our lesson. Penguins are not as funny as they look."
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They live in a big house with their mom and dad. They like to play in the yard and look at the flowers and the birds.
+
+One day, they see a black cat in the yard. The cat is thin and scared. It runs away when they try to pet it. Tom and Lily feel sorry for the cat. They want to help it.
+
+They ask their mom if they can give the cat some food and water. Mom says yes, but they have to be careful and not scare the cat. She provides them with a bowl of milk and some bread. Tom and Lily put the bowl near the fence, where they saw the cat.
+
+They wait and watch from the window. After a while, the cat comes back. It sees the bowl and sniffs it. It drinks the milk and eats the bread. It looks happier and less scared. Tom and Lily smile and clap.
+
+The next day, they do the same thing. They provide the cat with more food and water. The cat comes back again and eats and drinks. It also lets Tom and Lily pet it a little. It purrs and rubs against their hands.
+
+Tom and Lily decide to name the cat Blacky. They ask their mom and dad if they can keep Blacky as their pet. Mom and dad say yes, but they have to take good care of Blacky. They have to feed it, clean it, and love it.
+
+Tom and Lily are very happy. They have a new friend. Blacky is happy too. It has a new home. It likes to sleep in Tom and Lily's room and play with their toys. It is not thin and scared anymore. It is fat and happy.
+
+Tom, Lily, and Blacky are a family. They live in a big house with their mom and dad. They like to play in the yard and look at the flowers and the birds.
+Ben and Mia like to act. They pretend to be different things. Today, they act like cars. They make zoom sounds and run around the room.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, I am a fast car!" Ben says.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, I am a faster car!" Mia says.
+
+They chase each other and laugh. They are happy.
+
+But then, Ben bumps into a chair. He falls down and hurts his knee. He cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, I am a broken car!" Ben says.
+
+Mia stops and runs to him. She hugs him and says sorry.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, I did not see you!" Mia says.
+
+She helps him get up and gives him a band-aid. She says they can act like something else.
+
+"Do you want to act like animals?" Mia says.
+
+Ben nods and smiles. He says yes.
+
+They act like animals. They make animal sounds and hop and crawl. They are happy again.
+
+They act and zoom and have fun. They are good friends. The end.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their wagons in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with ducks and boats. They wanted to sail their wagons on the water.
+
+"Let's go, Tim!" Sam said. "We can make our wagons into boats!"
+
+"But what if they sink?" Tim asked. "And what if Mom and Dad get mad?"
+
+"Don't worry, Tim. It will be fun. Come on, follow me!" Sam said. He took his wagon and ran to the pond.
+
+Tim felt guilty. He knew it was wrong to go near the water without an adult. But he did not want to lose his friend. He took his wagon and followed Sam.
+
+They put their wagons on the edge of the pond. They pushed them gently. The wagons floated on the water. They looked like boats. Tim and Sam were happy. They clapped and cheered.
+
+"Look, Tim! Our wagons are sailing!" Sam said.
+
+"Yes, they are, Sam! They are sailing!" Tim said.
+
+But then, a big wind came. It blew the wagons away from the shore. Tim and Sam watched in horror. They could not reach their wagons. They could not swim. They started to cry.
+
+"Help! Help! Our wagons are gone!" Tim and Sam shouted.
+
+A man heard their cries. He was fishing nearby. He saw their wagons drifting on the pond. He took his boat and rowed to them. He picked up their wagons and brought them back to the shore. He gave them to Tim and Sam.
+
+"Thank you, mister! Thank you!" Tim and Sam said.
+
+"You're welcome, boys. But you should not play with your wagons on the water. It is dangerous. And you should not go near the pond without an adult. It is not safe. Do you understand?" The man said.
+
+"Yes, sir. We understand. We are sorry. We won't do it again." Tim and Sam said.
+
+They felt very guilty. They hugged their wagons. They said goodbye to the man. They ran back to the park. They hoped their parents would not find out. They learned their lesson. They never tried to sail their wagons again.
+Mia and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Mia found a big beetle with shiny wings. She showed it to Ben.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Ben said. "Can I hold it?"
+
+"Okay, but be gentle," Mia said. She gave him the beetle.
+
+Ben held the beetle in his hand. He felt its legs tickle his palm. He smiled. He wanted to see its wings. He tried to spread them open.
+
+"Ben, don't do that!" Mia said. "You'll hurt it!"
+
+But it was too late. The beetle's wings snapped. It fell to the ground. Ben felt a sting in his finger. The beetle had bitten him.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the beetle and ran to his mom. Mia felt anxious. She had broken the beetle. She had made Ben cry. She had done a bad thing.
+
+She picked up the beetle. It was still alive, but it couldn't fly. She felt sorry for it. She wanted to fix it. She looked for some tape or glue. She didn't find any.
+
+She saw a flower with big petals. She thought maybe she could use them to cover the beetle's wings. She plucked a petal and wrapped it around the beetle. She hoped it would help.
+
+She put the beetle in a jar. She poked some holes in the lid. She gave it some leaves and water. She hoped it would be happy.
+
+She went to Ben and his mom. Ben had a band-aid on his finger. He was still crying.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Mia said. "I didn't mean to hurt you or the beetle."
+
+"It's okay, Mia," Ben said. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have tried to spread its wings."
+
+Mia hugged Ben. She showed him the jar with the beetle.
+
+"Look, I made it a new wing," she said. "Do you want to keep it?"
+
+Ben looked at the jar. He saw the beetle with the flower petal. He smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Mia," he said. "That's very nice of you. Can we share it?"
+
+"Sure, we can share it," Mia said. "We can be its friends."
+
+They took the jar to the garden. They watched the beetle move around. They talked to it and sang to it. They felt happy. They had learned a lesson. They had made up. They had a new pet.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big pot of sauce on the stove. It was red and smelled good.
+
+"Let's taste the sauce," Ben said. He took a spoon and dipped it in the pot. He blew on it and put it in his mouth. "Mmm, it's delicious!"
+
+Anna wanted to taste it too. She reached for the spoon, but it was too high. She could not get it. She had an idea. She saw a chair near the table. She pushed it to the stove. She climbed on the chair and stood on it. She was very tall now. She could get the spoon.
+
+But she was also very nervous. The stove was hot and the pot was heavy. She was afraid she would fall or burn herself. She stretched her arm and grabbed the spoon. She was about to dip it in the sauce, when she heard a loud noise.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" It was Mom. She had come back from the store. She saw Anna on the chair and Ben on the floor. She saw the sauce on the stove and the spoon in Anna's hand. She was angry and scared.
+
+Anna was so startled that she dropped the spoon. It landed in the pot and splashed sauce everywhere. Some sauce hit Anna's face and some hit Ben's shirt. Some sauce even hit Mom's hair.
+
+Anna and Ben were very sorry. They jumped off the chair and the floor. They ran to Mom and hugged her. They said they were sorry and they just wanted to taste the sauce. They said they would not do it again.
+
+Mom was still angry, but she was also relieved. She hugged them back and said she was glad they were not hurt. She said they should never play with the stove or the sauce. She said they should always ask her before they try new things. She said she loved them and she would make them some pasta with the sauce for lunch. She said they should go and wash their faces and their clothes.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said they loved her too. They went to the bathroom and cleaned themselves. They were still hungry, but they were also happy. They learned a lesson and they had a story to tell.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with ice cream. The ice cream man is generous. He gives them each a cone with two scoops.
+
+"Thank you, ice cream man!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+They sit on a bench and lick their ice cream. The sun is hot. The ice cream is cold and sweet.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have chocolate and vanilla. What do you have?" Anna asks.
+
+"I have strawberry and banana. Do you want to try?" Ben offers.
+
+"Sure, let's swap. You can try mine, too." Anna agrees.
+
+They exchange their cones and take a bite. They make happy noises.
+
+"Mmm, this is good. I like your ice cream, Anna." Ben says.
+
+"Me too. I like your ice cream, Ben." Anna says.
+
+They finish their ice cream and wipe their mouths. They are full and happy.
+
+"Let's go play on the slide." Ben suggests.
+
+"Okay, let's go. But first, let's call our moms and tell them we are okay." Anna says.
+
+They take out their phones and call their moms. They tell them they are in the park and they had ice cream. Their moms are glad and tell them to have fun and be careful.
+
+"Bye, mom. I love you." Anna and Ben say.
+
+They put their phones away and run to the slide. They slide down and laugh. They are friends. They share and care. They have a good day.
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big basket on the table. She climbed on a chair and peeked inside. She saw many colorful eggs with funny patterns. She wanted to touch them and see what was inside.
+
+She took one egg and shook it. She heard a rattling sound. She smiled and shook it harder. She wondered if there was a toy or a candy in the egg. She tried to open it, but it was too hard. She banged it on the table, but it did not break. She got frustrated and threw it on the floor.
+
+The egg cracked and a small chick popped out. It was yellow and fluffy and made a peeping noise. Lily was surprised and scared. She did not know that eggs could have animals in them. She backed away from the chick and hid behind the chair.
+
+Her mom came into the room and saw the mess. She saw the broken egg, the chick and Lily. She was angry and asked Lily what she had done. Lily did not answer. She felt bad and sorry.
+
+Her mom picked up the chick and held it gently. She explained to Lily that the eggs were not for playing, but for hatching. She said that the eggs had baby birds in them, and that they needed to be warm and safe until they were ready to come out. She said that Lily had hurt the chick and made it scared.
+
+Lily looked at the chick and saw that it was shaking and crying. She felt sorry for the chick and wanted to make it feel better. She said to the chick, "I'm sorry, little bird. I did not know you were in the egg. I was curious and wanted to see what was inside. I did not mean to hurt you. Please don't be sad."
+
+The chick looked at Lily and stopped crying. It made a soft peeping noise and moved closer to her. Lily reached out her hand and stroked the chick's feathers. The chick snuggled in her palm and closed its eyes. Lily smiled and felt happy.
+
+Her mom saw that Lily was sorry and that the chick was okay. She was not angry anymore. She hugged Lily and the chick and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you were curious and did not know. But you have to be careful and gentle with eggs and animals. They are alive and can feel pain and fear. You have to respect them and love them."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I love you and the chick. Can I keep it as a friend?"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "We'll see, Lily. We'll see."
+Lily and Tom were playing on the beach. They had a big bucket of water and some toys. They liked to make sand castles and splash each other.
+
+"Look, I have a shark!" Tom said, holding up a plastic toy. "It can bite you!"
+
+Lily was not scared. She had a magic wand. She waved it at Tom's shark and said, "Shrink, shrink, shrink!"
+
+Tom's shark became very small. It was smaller than his finger. He could not see it well.
+
+"Hey, what did you do?" Tom asked, angry. "Give me back my shark!"
+
+Lily laughed. She thought it was funny. She said, "You have a stupid shark. It is too small to bite me. It can only bite ants!"
+
+Tom tried to grab his shark, but it was too fast. It swam away in the bucket. He could not catch it.
+
+Lily and Tom heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big shark in the water. It had sharp teeth and a fin. It was coming towards them.
+
+"Help, help, help!" Lily and Tom screamed. They dropped their toys and ran away. They were very scared.
+
+The big shark was not real. It was a balloon. A man was holding it and laughing. He wanted to scare the children. He thought it was funny.
+
+Lily and Tom did not think it was funny. They thought it was mean. They did not like the man. They did not like his shark. They liked their own toys better. They went back to their bucket and played some more. They forgot about the man and his shark. They had fun.
+Lily was a helpful girl. She liked to tell her mom and dad what she did at school. She also liked to help them with chores at home. She could set the table, fold the clothes and water the plants.
+
+One day, Lily felt sick. Her body was hot and her throat was sore. She did not want to eat or play. She told her mom, "Mom, I feel bad. Can you help me?" Her mom hugged her and said, "Of course, my sweetie. Let me take you to the doctor. He will make you feel better."
+
+Lily and her mom went to the doctor. The doctor was nice and gentle. He checked Lily's body with a stethoscope, a thermometer and a flashlight. He said, "Lily, you have a cold. You need to rest, drink lots of water and take this medicine. It will help you fight the germs." He gave Lily a sticker and a lollipop.
+
+Lily thanked the doctor and went home with her mom. She took her medicine and went to bed. Her mom read her a story and kissed her goodnight. Lily felt a little better. She said, "Mom, you are so helpful. I love you." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a brave and helpful girl. You will be well soon."
+Lily liked to draw with her pencil. She had many pencils, but her favorite one was red. It was different from the other pencils. It was longer and sharper and brighter. Lily used her red pencil to draw flowers and hearts and stars on her paper.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her red pencil and some paper. She wanted to draw the trees and the birds and the swings. She found a nice spot on the grass and started to draw. She was very happy.
+
+But then, a big wind came and blew her paper away. Lily ran after it, but it was too fast. She saw her paper fly over the fence and into the street. She was very sad. She lost her paper and her red pencil.
+
+She went back to her mom and dad and told them what happened. They hugged her and said they were sorry. They said they would buy her a new pencil and paper. Lily thanked them, but she still missed her red pencil. It was different from the other pencils. It was her favorite.
+
+She hoped that someone would find her paper and her red pencil and keep them safe. She hoped that they would like her drawings and smile. She hoped that she would see her red pencil again someday. She hoped that it would remember her.
+Sara and Ben are playing hide and seek in their house. Sara is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs to find a good spot to hide. He sees a hall with many doors. He opens one door and goes inside. He closes the door behind him and stays very quiet.
+
+Sara counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks for Ben in the living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom. She does not see him. She thinks he must be in the hall. She walks to the hall and sees many doors. She opens one door and sees a closet. She opens another door and sees a bedroom. She opens another door and sees a bathroom. She opens the last door and sees Ben.
+
+"Found you!" Sara says. She smiles and gives Ben a gentle hug. Ben laughs and hugs her back. "You are a good seeker," he says. "You are a good hider," she says. They are happy and decide to play again. They take turns being the seeker and the hider. They have fun playing hide and seek in the hall.
+Tim and Amy were playing in the backyard. They liked to observe the birds and the bugs and the flowers. They also liked to dig in the dirt and make mud pies.
+
+One day, they saw something shiny in the dirt. They dug it out and saw that it was a big, heavy iron. They wondered what it was for. They decided to take it inside and show their mom.
+
+But when they got to the door, they heard their mom say, "Don't touch the iron, kids. It's very hot and it can hurt you. I'm using it to make your clothes smooth."
+
+Tim and Amy felt guilty. They knew they had done something bad. They hid the iron behind their backs and tried to act normal.
+
+"Hi, mom," they said. "We were just playing outside."
+
+Mom looked at them and smiled. She saw the dirt on their hands and faces and clothes. She also saw the iron peeking out from behind Tim's back.
+
+"Kids, what do you have there?" she asked.
+
+Tim and Amy looked at each other. They knew they had to tell the truth.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry," they said. "We found this iron in the dirt and we wanted to show you. We didn't know it was hot and dangerous."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry, but she was worried. She took the iron from them and put it on the table. She checked their hands and faces for any burns. She was glad they were not hurt.
+
+"Kids, I'm glad you're okay," she said. "But you have to be more careful. The iron is not a toy. It can get very hot and it can hurt you. You should never touch it without me. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Amy nodded. They felt sorry for what they had done. They hugged their mom and said they loved her.
+
+Mom hugged them back and said she loved them too. She said they could help her make the clothes smooth with the iron, but only if they listened to her and stayed away from the hot part. Tim and Amy agreed. They learned their lesson and they never touched the iron again.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside on Sunday. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is brown and white and very friendly.
+
+One Sunday, Anna and Ben decide to make a castle in the sandbox. They use a bucket, a shovel and some sticks. They work hard and have fun. They make a big castle with walls, towers and a gate. They are very proud of their castle.
+
+"Look at our castle, Spot!" Anna says. "It is the best castle ever!"
+
+Spot barks and wags his tail. He likes the castle too. He runs around the sandbox and sniffs the walls. He tries to dig under the gate.
+
+"Stop, Spot!" Ben says. "You will ruin our castle!"
+
+Spot does not listen. He digs faster and faster. He makes a big hole under the gate. He jumps through the hole and into the castle. He knocks down the towers and the walls. He makes a big mess.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They gaze at their ruined castle. They gaze at Spot. Spot looks happy and silly. He has sand on his nose and ears.
+
+"Bad dog, Spot!" Anna and Ben say. "You are a naughty dog!"
+
+Spot does not understand. He thinks they are playing. He licks their faces and wags his tail. He wants them to chase him.
+
+Anna and Ben sigh. They love Spot, but they wish he would not destroy their castle. They decide to make another castle, but this time they will put a fence around it. They hope Spot will not find a way to break in. They also hope he will not find their smooth and shiny rocks that they hid under the slide. They are their treasures and they do not want to share them with Spot.
+Tom was a gifted boy who liked to draw animals. He had many books with pictures of animals from the jungle. He wanted to see the jungle for real and draw the animals there.
+
+One day, his dad said they could go to the zoo and see some jungle animals. Tom was very happy and packed his crayons and paper. He hoped to see a lion, a monkey, a snake and a parrot.
+
+At the zoo, Tom and his dad saw many animals, but not the ones Tom wanted. They saw a bear, a camel, a penguin and a flamingo. Tom was sad and asked his dad where the jungle animals were. His dad said they were in another part of the zoo, but it was closed for the day.
+
+Tom was very angry and started to cry. He said he hated the zoo and wanted to go home. His dad tried to calm him down and said they could come back another day. He said he had a surprise for him at home.
+
+When they got home, Tom saw a big box with a bow on it. His dad said it was a gift for him. Tom opened the box and saw a stuffed lion, a stuffed monkey, a stuffed snake and a stuffed parrot.

+Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, who had long hair and a pink dress. Lily took Anna everywhere, even to bed.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the dentist. Lily was scared of the dentist, and she did not want to leave Anna alone. She hid Anna in her pocket and hoped her mom would not see.
+
+At the dentist, Lily had to sit in a big chair and open her mouth. The dentist looked at her teeth and said they were good. He gave her a sticker and a toy. Lily was happy, but she wanted to go home and play with Anna.
+
+She reached into her pocket, but she could not find Anna. She felt something small and soft. She pulled it out and saw that it was Anna, but she was very tiny. She had shrunk to the size of a dust. Lily was shocked and sad. She did not know what had happened to her doll.
+
+She looked around and saw a big machine next to the chair. It had a sign that said "X-ray". Lily remembered that the dentist had put a thing on her chest and told her to stay still. She realized that the machine had made Anna shrink.
+
+She started to cry and told her mom what had happened. Her mom hugged her and said she was sorry. She said they would try to find a way to make Anna big again. She said she loved Lily and Anna very much.
+
+Lily hoped that her mom was right. She held Anna in her hand and whispered to her that she was not alone. She said she was sorry and that she would always be her friend. She said she hoped they would play again soon.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, until Ben saw Anna's doll and wanted to play with it.
+
+"Give me your doll!" Ben said, and grabbed it from Anna's hands.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Anna said, and tried to get it back.
+
+They pulled and tugged on the doll, until they heard a rip. The doll's dress was torn, and a needle fell out of it. The needle was sharp and shiny, and it landed on the floor.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cried, as he stepped on the needle. It hurt his foot, and he started to bleed. He dropped the doll and sat on the couch, holding his foot.
+
+Anna saw the blood and felt sorry for Ben. She also saw her doll's dress and felt sad. She picked up the doll and the needle, and went to Ben.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know there was a needle in the doll. Are you okay?" Anna said, and gave him the doll.
+
+Ben looked at Anna and the doll. He saw that Anna was sorry, and he felt bad for ripping the doll's dress. He took the doll and hugged it.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I shouldn't have taken your doll. It was not nice. Can you forgive me?" Ben said, and gave her the doll back.
+
+Anna smiled and nodded. She took the doll and hugged it, too.
+
+"Of course I can forgive you, Ben. You are my brother, and I love you. Can you forgive me, too?" Anna said, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
+
+Ben smiled and nodded, too. He took Anna's hand and squeezed it.
+
+"I love you, too, Anna. And I forgive you, too. Let's go get a band-aid for my foot, okay?" Ben said, and they went to find their mom.
+Lila was a shy girl who did not like to talk to other kids. She liked to play with her dolls and read books by herself. One day, her mom said they were going to visit her aunt and uncle, who had a big farm. Lila was scared of the farm animals, especially the cows and pigs. She did not want to go.
+
+When they arrived at the farm, Lila's aunt and uncle greeted them warmly. They said they had a surprise for Lila. They took her to the barn, where they showed her a little lamb. The lamb was white and fluffy, and had a pink bow around its neck. It was a gift for Lila. Lila's aunt and uncle said they wanted her to have a friend on the farm.
+
+Lila was curious about the lamb, but also nervous. She did not know how to take care of it, or what to name it. She looked at the lamb, and the lamb looked at her. The lamb seemed shy too. It bleated softly, and nudged Lila's hand with its nose. Lila felt a warm feeling in her heart. She reached out and petted the lamb's wool. The lamb licked her cheek, and snuggled close to her. Lila smiled, and hugged the lamb. She decided to name it Fluffy.
+
+Lila and Fluffy became best friends. They played together, ate together, and slept together. Lila learned how to feed Fluffy, brush Fluffy, and protect Fluffy from the other animals. Fluffy learned how to follow Lila, listen to Lila, and comfort Lila when she was sad. Lila and Fluffy also made friends with the other kids and animals on the farm. Lila was not shy anymore. She was happy.
+
+Lila's mom and dad were proud of Lila. They saw how much she had grown and changed. They thanked Lila's aunt and uncle for giving her Fluffy. They said Fluffy was the best gift ever. Lila agreed. She said Fluffy was her best friend ever. She said she loved Fluffy, and Fluffy loved her. She said she learned that sometimes, the best things in life are not toys or books, but friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: Friendship can help overcome shyness and fear, and bring joy and comfort.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They were very happy.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek!" Tom said. "You count to ten and I will hide."
+
+"OK!" Lily said. She closed her eyes and started to count. "One, two, three..."
+
+Tom ran away and looked for a good hiding place. He saw a big hedge near the road. He thought it was a good place to hide. He crawled under the hedge and waited for Lily to find him.
+
+"Ten!" Lily shouted. She opened her eyes and started to look for Tom. She looked behind the trees, under the slide, in the sandbox. She could not find Tom.
+
+"Tom, where are you?" Lily called. "I give up!"
+
+Tom heard Lily's voice. He wanted to surprise her. He waited for her to come closer to the hedge. He was very cold under the hedge. The snow was icy and wet.
+
+Lily walked towards the hedge. She thought she heard a noise. She guessed Tom was hiding there. She smiled and ran to the hedge.
+
+"Got you!" she shouted as she reached the hedge.
+
+But before she could pull the hedge apart, she heard a loud honk. She turned around and saw a big truck coming fast on the road. The truck driver did not see Lily. He could not stop on the icy road.
+
+Lily screamed. Tom screamed. The truck hit Lily. Lily fell down. She did not move.
+
+Tom crawled out of the hedge. He saw Lily on the ground. He saw blood on the snow. He saw the truck driver get out of the truck. He saw the truck driver cry.
+
+Tom ran to Lily. He shook her. He called her name. He begged her to wake up.
+
+But Lily did not wake up. Lily was gone. Tom was alone. Tom was sad. Tom wished he never hid under the hedge.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big box on the grass. It was a package. They ran to the package and opened it.
+
+"Wow, look at all the candy!" Tom said. He took a handful of candy and put it in his mouth.
+
+Lily did the same. She liked candy. But then she made a face. The candy was sour. It was not sweet. It was yucky.
+
+"Yuck, this candy is sour!" Lily said. She spit out the candy.
+
+Tom did not like the sour candy either. He tried to spit it out, but he stumbled. He fell on the grass. The candy flew out of his mouth.
+
+"Ouch, that hurt!" Tom said. He rubbed his knee.
+
+Lily helped him up. She was sorry for him. She gave him a hug.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He smiled at Lily.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily. Thank you," Tom said.
+
+They decided to leave the package. They did not want any more sour candy. They went back to playing. They had more fun with the slide.
+Tom and Lily were very excited. Today was Thanksgiving, and they were going to Grandma's house for a big feast. They helped Mom pack some pies and cookies in a basket, and put on their warm coats and hats.
+
+"Are you ready to go?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They got in the car and drove to Grandma's house. On the way, they saw many things: trees, houses, cars, dogs, and even a big turkey farm.
+
+"Look, Mom, turkeys!" Lily pointed.
+
+"Wow, they are so big and fat!" Tom said.
+
+"They are going to be someone's dinner, just like ours," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily wondered how Grandma's turkey would taste. They hoped it would be juicy and yummy.
+
+They arrived at Grandma's house and rang the doorbell. Grandma opened the door and hugged them.
+
+"Hello, my darlings! Come in, come in!" Grandma said.
+
+She led them to the living room, where they saw a big table with lots of food: mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, rolls, and a huge turkey.
+
+"Wow, Grandma, you made a lot of food!" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, I did. And it's all for you and your family," Grandma said.
+
+She smiled and winked at Mom.
+
+"Can we eat now, Grandma?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for your uncle and aunt and cousins. They should be here any minute," Grandma said.
+
+Tom and Lily sat on the couch and waited. They were very hungry and could smell the turkey. They wished their uncle and aunt and cousins would hurry up.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big truck with a sign that said "Turkey Express". The truck had crashed into a fence and spilled some of its cargo on the road. There were turkeys everywhere, running and gobbling and flapping their wings.
+
+"Uh-oh," Mom said.
+
+"Uh-oh," Grandma said.
+
+"Uh-oh," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They watched as the truck driver got out and tried to catch the turkeys. He looked very angry and embarrassed. He shouted and waved his arms, but the turkeys did not listen. They ran in different directions, some of them towards Grandma's house.
+
+"Mom, Grandma, look!" Tom said.
+
+He pointed at the door, where a turkey had sneaked in and was heading for the table.
+
+"Stop, turkey, stop!" Lily said.
+
+She got up and ran after the turkey. Tom followed her. They tried to catch the turkey, but it was too fast and clever. It dodged and jumped and knocked over some plates and glasses. It reached the table and grabbed the turkey with its beak.
+
+"Hey, that's our turkey!" Tom said.
+
+He and Lily grabbed the turkey's legs and pulled. The turkey pulled back and gobbled. It was a tug-of-war.
+
+"Help, Mom, Grandma, help!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+Mom and Grandma rushed to help them. They grabbed the turkey's wings and neck and tried to pry it off. The turkey did not give up. It kicked and pecked and squawked. It was a mess.
+
+"Help, help, help!" they all said.
+
+They heard a knock on the door.
+
+"Hello, hello, hello!" a voice said.
+
+It was their uncle and aunt and cousins. They had arrived.
+
+They opened the door and saw the scene: Mom, Grandma, Tom, and Lily wrestling with a turkey, while another turkey was on the table, and more turkeys were outside.
+
+They gasped and laughed and clapped.
+
+"Wow, what a show!" their uncle said.
+
+"Is this a new tradition?" their aunt said.
+
+"Can we join?" their cousins said.
+
+They ran in and helped. They caught the turkeys and put them in a box. They cleaned up the mess and set the table again. They laughed and joked and hugged.
+
+They sat down and ate. They had two turkeys: one from Grandma and one from the truck. They were both juicy and yummy.
+
+They thanked Grandma and Mom and the truck driver. They thanked the turkeys. They thanked each other.
+
+They had a very happy Thanksgiving.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a picture of a shiny red car on it.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "Can we open it?"
+
+Sam nods. He urges Tom to help him lift the box. They are very curious. They want to see the car inside.
+
+But when they open the box, they see a note. It says: "This is a gift for Dad. Do not touch it. Love, Mom."
+
+"Oh no," Sam says. "We should not touch it. Mom will be mad."
+
+Tom frowns. He does not care. He wants to play with the car. He thinks it is easy to take it out and put it back.
+
+"Come on, Sam," he says. "It will be fun. Mom will not know. She is not here."
+
+Sam shakes his head. He is scared. He knows Mom will find out. He thinks it is a bad idea.
+
+"No, Tom," he says. "It is a threat. Mom will be very mad. She will not let us play with our cars and trucks. She will send us to bed early. Please, Tom, do not touch it."
+
+Tom does not listen. He grabs the car and pulls it out of the box. He smiles. He thinks it is cool.
+
+"Look, Sam, look!" he says. "It is so shiny and fast. Let's play with it."
+
+Sam sighs. He does not want to play with it. He wants to put it back. He hopes Mom will not come home soon. He hopes Tom will not break the car. He hopes they will not get in trouble. He is not happy. He is worried.
+Lily and Tom like to play in the garden. They have a big squash plant that grows many squashes. Some squashes are big and some are small. Some are green and some are yellow.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom see a very big squash on the plant. It is bigger than their heads. It is yellow and round. They want to pick it and eat it. They run to the plant and pull the squash. But the squash is too heavy. They cannot lift it.
+
+They try to push the squash. They try to roll the squash. They try to kick the squash. But the squash does not move. It is stuck on the vine. Lily and Tom are sad. They want the big squash.
+
+Then they hear a laugh. It is their mom. She comes to the garden and sees them. She says, "What are you doing, my jolly children? Do you want to make a squash pie?" She has a knife and a basket. She cuts the squash from the vine and puts it in the basket. She says, "This squash is very big. We can make many pies. Come, help me in the kitchen."
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They follow their mom to the kitchen. They wash the squash and cut it into pieces. They mix it with sugar and spice and eggs and milk. They put it in a crust and bake it in the oven. They smell the squash pie. It smells good.
+
+They eat the squash pie with whipped cream. It tastes good. They say, "Thank you, mom, for the squash pie. We love you." Mom says, "You are welcome, my jolly children. I love you too." They hug and kiss. They are a jolly family.
+Lily and Ben are excited. They are going to the farm with Mom and Dad. They want to see the animals and play in the barn.
+
+"Look, there is the barn!" Lily says, pointing to the big red building. "Can we go inside, Mom?"
+
+"Sure, but be careful. There might be some hay or tools that could hurt you," Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben run to the barn. They see cows, horses, pigs, and chickens. They hear them make noises. They smell them too.
+
+"Hello, animals!" Ben says. He tries to pet a cow, but it moves away. "Don't be scared, cow. I am nice."
+
+Lily sees a basket with eggs. She picks one up and shows it to Ben. "Look, Ben, an egg! A chicken made this!"
+
+"Wow, an egg!" Ben says. He wants to hold it too. "Can I see, Lily?"
+
+Lily gives him the egg. But Ben is not careful. He drops the egg on the floor. It breaks. It makes a mess.
+
+"Oh no, Ben!" Lily says. "You broke the egg! Mom will be mad!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily!" Ben says. He feels bad. He does not like to break things.
+
+They hear Mom calling them. "Lily, Ben, come here! It's time to go!"
+
+Lily and Ben run to Mom. They do not tell her about the egg. They hope she will not see it.
+
+Mom smiles at them. She has a surprise for them. She brings them a small box. Inside the box, there is a fluffy yellow chick.
+
+"Look, kids, this is a baby chicken. It came from an egg, just like the ones in the barn. Do you want to hold it?" Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben are excited. They forget about the broken egg. They take turns holding the chick. It is soft and warm. It peeps in their hands.
+
+"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Ben say. They love the chick. They hug Mom.
+
+Mom hugs them back. She is happy. She does not see the broken egg. She does not know.
+Ben liked to spin on his scooter. He spun fast and slow, left and right, in circles and squares. He spun so much that he felt dizzy and happy. He did not care that his scooter was different from the other kids'. His scooter was old and rusty, with a broken bell and a wobbly wheel. But Ben loved his scooter more than anything.
+
+One day, Ben went to the park with his scooter. He saw a big hill and wanted to spin down it. He thought it would be fun and exciting. He did not see the sign that said "No scooters". He did not hear his mom calling him to stop. He only saw the hill and felt the wind in his hair.
+
+He spun faster and faster, feeling brave and free. He did not notice the car that was coming from the other side of the road. He did not see the red light or the angry driver. He only heard a loud horn and a screech of brakes.
+
+Then he felt a big bump and a lot of pain. He flew off his scooter and landed on the ground. He saw his scooter smashed and twisted, with a broken bell and a wobbly wheel. He saw blood and tears, and heard sirens and screams.
+
+He wished he had not spun on his scooter. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had a different scooter. But it was too late.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they pretend to be mail workers. They have a big bag of letters and cards. They go to different houses and give them to people.
+
+"Knock, knock! Mail is here!" Lily says at each door. She smiles and hands a letter or a card.
+
+"Thank you, mail worker!" the people say. They are happy to get mail.
+
+Ben follows Lily with the bag. He helps her find the right house. He also has a card for Lily. He made it himself. It has a heart and a star on it. He writes "Lily is my best friend" with a crayon.
+
+When they finish giving all the mail, they go to a park. They sit on a bench and eat their lunch. They have sandwiches, apples, and juice. They share their food and talk.
+
+"This is a good lunch," Lily says. "My mom made it for me."
+
+"My dad made mine," Ben says. "He is a good cook."
+
+They finish their lunch and throw away the trash. Ben takes out his card and gives it to Lily.
+
+"This is for you, Lily," he says. "I made it for you. You are my best friend."
+
+Lily opens the card and reads it. She smiles and hugs Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," she says. "This is a very nice card. You are my best friend too."
+
+They hold hands and go back to play. They are happy. They are rich in friendship.
+Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big hill with many flowers. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+"Come on, Mia, let's go!" Tom says. He runs up the hill. Mia follows him. She likes to do what Tom does.
+
+They reach the top of the hill. They see a big lake with many ducks. They also see a man with a big hat and a long coat. He is holding a big bag. He looks at the lake and smiles.
+
+"Hello, children," the man says. "Do you want to see something amazing?"
+
+Tom and Mia are curious. They nod their heads.
+
+"Watch this," the man says. He opens his bag and takes out a big kite. The kite is red and blue and yellow. It has a long tail. The man ties a string to the kite. He holds the string in his hand.
+
+"Look at my kite," the man says. "It is the best kite in the world. It can fly very high and very fast. It can do tricks and loops. It can even talk to the wind."
+
+Tom and Mia are impressed. They want to see the kite fly.
+
+"Can we try your kite?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, sure," the man says. "But you have to do something for me first. You have to kneel down and close your eyes. Then I will give you the string."
+
+Tom and Mia think this is a strange thing to ask. But they want to try the kite. They kneel down and close their eyes.
+
+The man laughs. He is a bad man. He is not going to give them the string. He is going to run away with his kite and his bag. He thinks he is very clever.
+
+But he is not. He is very foolish. He does not see the big rock in front of him. He trips over the rock and falls down. He drops the kite and the bag. The wind blows the kite away. The bag opens and many things fall out. The things are not his. They are things he stole from other people.
+
+Tom and Mia hear the noise. They open their eyes. They see the man on the ground. They see the kite in the sky. They see the things on the grass.
+
+They understand what happened. They are not happy. They are angry.
+
+"Hey, you are a bad man!" Tom says. "You lied to us. You tried to trick us. You stole these things. You are not nice. You are mean."
+
+Mia agrees. She says, "Yeah, you are mean. And you are silly. You did not watch where you were going. You hurt yourself. And you lost your kite. And your things. You are not clever. You are foolish."
+
+The man is ashamed. He is also scared. He sees a policeman coming. The policeman saw what he did. The policeman is going to catch him. The policeman is going to take him away.
+
+Tom and Mia are glad. They are also proud. They did not let the man fool them. They did not let the man take their fun. They did the right thing.
+
+They go to the policeman. They tell him what happened. They give him the things. The policeman thanks them. He says they are brave and smart. He says they are good children.
+
+Tom and Mia smile. They are happy. They go back to the park. They play some more. They have a good day.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play sport. They have a ball and a bat. They go to the park to play.
+
+But when they get to the park, they see a big sign. The sign says: "No sport today. The park is for a show. Please watch and enjoy."
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They want to play sport, not watch a show. They look for another place to play. But all the places are full of people and things for the show.
+
+They see a man with a funny hat and a big smile. He is an actor. He sees Tom and Sam and says: "Hello, little ones. Do you want to join the show? We need some helpers. You can act with us. It will be fun."
+
+Tom and Sam are curious. They have never acted before. They ask: "What do we have to do?"
+
+The man says: "You just have to follow me and do what I do. We will sing and dance and make jokes. The people will laugh and clap. You will be stars."
+
+Tom and Sam think for a moment. They still want to play sport, but they also want to try something new. They decide to act with the man. They say: "OK, we will join the show. But can we play sport later?"
+
+The man nods and says: "Of course, you can. There will be plenty of time and space after the show. The park will be available again. But first, let's act. Come on, follow me."
+
+Tom and Sam follow the man to the stage. They put on some costumes and props. They act with the man and the other actors. They have a lot of fun. The people laugh and clap. Tom and Sam are happy. They like to act.
+
+After the show, the man thanks Tom and Sam and gives them a hug. He says: "You did a great job. You are very good actors. Thank you for helping us."
+
+Tom and Sam thank the man and say: "You are welcome. You are a very good actor too. Thank you for letting us join the show."
+
+Then they take off their costumes and props and run to the park. They play sport with their ball and bat. They have more fun. They like to play sport.
+
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to do different things. They have a good day.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+But then, Ben came along. Ben was a mean boy. He did not like to share. He saw Tom and Lily's snowman and wanted to break it. He ran towards it and kicked it hard. The snowman fell down and the hat and the scarf flew away.
+
+Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They did not like Ben. They wanted to make him go away. They looked around and saw a big bag. The bag was full of icy snowballs. They had an idea.
+
+They picked up the bag and ran after Ben. They shouted, "Stop, Ben, stop! We have a surprise for you!" Ben was curious. He stopped and turned around. He saw Tom and Lily with the bag. He wondered what was in it.
+
+Tom and Lily opened the bag and threw the icy snowballs at Ben. They hit him on the head, on the face, on the chest, on the legs. Ben was very cold and wet. He felt the icy snowballs sting his skin. He cried and ran away.
+
+Tom and Lily laughed and cheered. They had taught Ben a lesson. They went back to their snowman and fixed him. They found the hat and the scarf and put them back on. They gave him a new carrot nose and two new buttons for eyes. They hugged their snowman and imagined he was their friend. They were very happy.
+Lily and Tom were bored. They wanted to play something fun. They looked around the house for something to do.
+
+"Look, there is a big cupboard in the hall," Lily said. "Maybe we can decorate it."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked to decorate things. He ran to the kitchen and got some crayons and stickers. Lily followed him and got some paper and scissors.
+
+They went back to the hall and opened the cupboard. It was high and empty. They climbed inside and started to decorate the walls with their crayons, stickers, paper and scissors. They made colorful shapes, animals, flowers and stars.
+
+"This is our secret house," Tom said. "We can hide here and have fun."
+
+Lily agreed. She liked their secret house. She made a door with paper and scissors and stuck it on the cupboard. She wrote their names on it.
+
+"Knock knock," she said. "Can I come in?"
+
+"Who is it?" Tom asked.
+
+"It's Lily, your friend," she said.
+
+"OK, you can come in," Tom said. He opened the paper door and let Lily in. They smiled and hugged.
+
+They played in their secret house for a long time. They pretended to be pirates, astronauts, princesses and superheroes. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. She looked for them in the house, but she could not find them. She was worried.
+
+"Where are Lily and Tom?" she asked. "Have you seen them?"
+
+She asked their dad, their dog, their cat, their fish, but no one knew where they were.
+
+Then she saw the big cupboard in the hall. It had a paper door with Lily and Tom's names on it. She opened the door and saw them inside. They were decorating the walls with their crayons, stickers, paper and scissors.
+
+"Hello, mom," they said. "This is our secret house. Do you like it?"
+
+Mom was surprised. She saw their colorful shapes, animals, flowers and stars. She smiled.
+
+"It's very beautiful," she said. "But it's time for lunch. Come out, please."
+
+Lily and Tom came out of the cupboard. They were hungry. They took their crayons, stickers, paper and scissors with them.
+
+"Can we play in our secret house later?" they asked.
+
+"Sure, you can," mom said. "But next time, please tell me where you are. I was worried about you."
+
+"OK, mom," they said. "We're sorry. We love you."
+
+They hugged mom and went to the kitchen. They ate their lunch and told mom about their secret house. Mom listened and laughed. She was happy. She loved them too.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have many toys and books. But they do not like to tidy up. They leave their toys and books everywhere.
+
+One day, Mom says, "Tim and Kim, you have to tidy up your toys and books. They are making a mess. And you might have bugs in them."
+
+Tim and Kim do not listen. They say, "No, Mom, we do not want to tidy up. We want to play more. And we do not have bugs in our toys and books. They are clean and fun."
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "Okay, but you will see. Bugs like to hide in messy things. They might bite you or make you sick. You should tidy up before you play more."
+
+Tim and Kim ignore Mom. They run to the garden. They play with their toys and books. They have a lot of fun. But they do not see the bugs. The bugs crawl out of the grass. They sneak into the toys and books. They wait for Tim and Kim.
+
+Tim and Kim get tired. They want to read a book. They pick up a book from the ground. But they scream. There is a big bug in the book. It has many legs and eyes. It looks scary. It jumps at Tim and Kim.
+
+Tim and Kim drop the book. They run to Mom. They cry, "Mom, Mom, there is a bug in our book. It is big and scary. It tried to bite us. We are sorry. We should have tidied up our toys and books."
+
+Mom hugs Tim and Kim. She says, "It is okay. I am glad you are not hurt. But you see, I was right. Bugs like to hide in messy things. You have to tidy up your toys and books. Then you will not have bugs in them. And you will have a nice and clean garden to play in."
+
+Tim and Kim nod. They say, "Yes, Mom, you are right. We will tidy up our toys and books. We do not want to have bugs in them. We want to have a nice and clean garden to play in."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Good. I will help you. Then we can have a snack and read a book together. But not the one with the bug in it."
+
+Tim and Kim laugh. They say, "No, not the one with the bug in it. We will pick another one. A nice and clean one."
+
+They go to the garden. They tidy up their toys and books. They do not see any more bugs. They have a snack and read a book together. They have a happy and tidy day.
+Sam and Lily were playing with a big box in the living room. They liked to pretend that the box was a spaceship, a castle, or a cave. They took turns to make up stories and act them out.
+
+"Today, the box is a powerful rocket," Sam said. "We are going to the moon. Are you ready, Lily?"
+
+"Yes, I am ready, Sam," Lily said. "But how do we start the rocket?"
+
+Sam pointed to a button on the side of the box. "We have to push this button and say 'blast off' three times. Repeat after me: blast off, blast off, blast off!"
+
+Lily pushed the button and repeated after Sam: "Blast off, blast off, blast off!"
+
+The box shook and made a loud noise. Sam and Lily laughed and held on to each other. They imagined that they were flying through the sky and seeing stars and planets.
+
+"Wow, this is so fun!" Lily said. "Where are we going, Sam?"
+
+Sam looked out of a hole in the box. "We are going to the moon, Lily. Look, there it is. It is big and bright and round. Do you want to land on it?"
+
+"Yes, I do, Sam," Lily said. "But how do we land on it?"
+
+Sam pointed to another button on the side of the box. "We have to push this button and say 'land' three times. Repeat after me: land, land, land!"
+
+Lily pushed the button and repeated after Sam: "Land, land, land!"
+
+The box stopped shaking and made a soft noise. Sam and Lily pretended that they were on the moon. They got out of the box and hopped around. They felt very light and happy.
+
+"We did it, Lily," Sam said. "We are on the moon. We are powerful astronauts. We can explore and have fun."
+
+"Yes, we did, Sam," Lily said. "We are on the moon. We are powerful astronauts. We can explore and have fun."
+Mia and Leo were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a shiny thing in the dirt. It was a diamond! Mia wanted to keep it, but Leo wanted to share it.
+
+"Give me the diamond, Mia!" Leo said. "It's not fair to have it all!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Mia said. "I found it first!"
+
+They pulled and tugged at the diamond, but it was very hard. They could not break it in half. They started to cry and shout.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw the twins fighting over the diamond. She was angry and surprised.
+
+"Where did you get that, Mia and Leo?" Mom asked. "That's not a toy, that's a very expensive thing!"
+
+Mia and Leo stopped crying and looked at Mom. They felt guilty and scared.
+
+"We found it in the dirt, Mom," Mia said. "We didn't know it was expensive."
+
+Mom took the diamond from them and looked at it closely. She recognized it as the one that Dad had lost last week. He had been very sad and worried.
+
+"Oh, my!" Mom said. "This is Dad's diamond! He was looking for it everywhere! He will be so happy to see it!"
+
+Mia and Leo felt sorry for being naughty. They wanted to make Dad happy, too.
+
+"Can we give it to Dad, Mom?" Leo asked. "We don't want it anymore."
+
+"Of course, you can," Mom said. "That's very kind of you. But you have to promise me something."
+
+"What, Mom?" Mia and Leo asked.
+
+"You have to promise me to never fight over things again," Mom said. "And to always share and be nice to each other."
+
+Mia and Leo nodded and hugged Mom. They learned their lesson. They could not resist the diamond, but they could resist being naughty. They waited for Dad to come home and surprise him with the diamond. They hoped he would be proud of them.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big black beetle crawling on a leaf. Ben wanted to catch it and show it to Lily.
+
+"Look, Lily, a beetle!" Ben said. He reached out his hand and grabbed the beetle. It was hard and shiny. He felt it tickle his palm.
+
+"Wow, Ben, let me see!" Lily said. She ran over to Ben and looked at the beetle. She thought it was pretty. She wanted to touch it too.
+
+"Can I hold it, Ben?" Lily asked. Ben nodded and gave the beetle to Lily. She smiled and held it gently. She felt it move in her fingers.
+
+Lily was curious. She wondered what the beetle would taste like. She opened her mouth and put the beetle on her tongue. She bit down and heard a crunch.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily spat out the beetle. It tasted bitter and gross. She made a face and wiped her mouth. She felt something wet on her chin. It was the beetle's juice. She felt sick.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. He saw Lily spit out the beetle. He saw the juice on her chin. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"No, Ben, I'm not okay. The beetle was yucky. It made me feel bad. Why did I do that?" Lily said. She started to cry. She felt embarrassed. She wished she had not tasted the beetle.
+
+Ben hugged Lily. He tried to make her feel better.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. You didn't know. The beetle was not for eating. It was for looking. Next time, we will only look at the bugs, okay?" Ben said.
+
+"Okay, Ben. Thank you. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I tasted the beetle. Can we play something else?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, Lily. Let's go and find some butterflies. They are pretty and they don't taste yucky." Ben said.
+
+They threw away the beetle and ran to the flowers. They forgot about the bad taste and had fun. They learned a lesson. They never tasted a beetle again.
+Tom and Mia like to play in the garden. They have a big box and some blankets. They create a cave with the box and the blankets. They pretend they are bears in the cave.
+
+One day, they hear a noise in the cave. They peek out and see a real bear. The bear is big and brown and furry. The bear is sleepy. He wants to nap in the cave.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They run out of the cave and into the house. They tell their mom about the bear. Their mom calls the animal helper. The animal helper comes and takes the bear away. He says the bear is lost and he will take him back to the forest.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They say goodbye to the bear. They hope he will find a good cave in the forest. They decide to play something else in the garden. They create a castle with the box and the blankets. They pretend they are kings and queens in the castle.
+Tom and Lily were playing at the park. They liked to go on the slide, the swing and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Ben. He had a bright red shirt and a big smile. He wanted to play with Tom and Lily, but they did not know him.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. Can I play with you?" he asked.
+
+Tom and Lily did not answer. They looked at each other and ran away. They did not want to share their toys or their slide with Ben. They thought he was a stranger and they were scared.
+
+Ben felt sad and lonely. He did not understand why Tom and Lily did not want to be his friends. He sat on a bench and watched them play.
+
+A lady saw Ben and came to talk to him. She was a teacher at the park. She knew all the children who came there.
+
+"Hello, little one. What's your name?" she asked.
+
+"I'm Ben. I'm new here. I want to play with Tom and Lily, but they don't like me," he said.
+
+The lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ben. Sometimes, children are shy or afraid of new people. But they are not mean. They just need some time to get to know you. Why don't you try to talk to them again? Maybe you can show them your favorite toy or game. I'm sure they will like you if you are kind and friendly."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try. Thank you, lady."
+
+He got up and walked to Tom and Lily. He held out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. I'm sorry if I scared you before. I just wanted to play with you. Do you like cars? I have a cool car here. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at Ben and his car. They saw that he was not a stranger, but a nice boy who wanted to have fun. They felt sorry for running away from him. They smiled and said, "Hi, Ben. We're Tom and Lily. We're sorry too. We were rude to you. Your car is awesome. Can we play with it?"
+
+Ben was happy and said, "Sure, you can. And then we can go on the slide together. It's my favorite thing in the park."
+
+Tom and Lily agreed and they all became friends. They played with the car, the slide and the other toys. They had a lot of fun together.
+
+The lady watched them and smiled. She was glad that Ben, Tom and Lily learned to be kind and friendly to each other. She thought that they learned a good lesson that day. She thought that the park was a good place to make new friends.
+Anna was sick. She had a bad cough and a hot head. Mommy gave her a pill to make her feel better. But Anna did not like the pill. It was big and bitter. She spit it out and hid under the bed.
+
+"Anna, where are you?" Mommy called. "You need to take your pill, sweetie. It will help you stop coughing."
+
+Anna did not answer. She was scared of the pill. She crawled deeper under the bed. She saw a shiny box. It was Mommy's fancy box. She opened it and saw many pretty things. There were rings and necklaces and earrings. They sparkled and glimmered. Anna liked them. She put a ring on her finger and a necklace around her neck. She felt like a princess.
+
+"Anna, I see you!" Mommy said. She bent down and looked under the bed. She saw Anna with her fancy things. She smiled and said, "You look very beautiful, Anna. But you still need to take your pill. How about we make a deal? If you take your pill, you can keep one of the fancy things. Which one do you want?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She liked all the fancy things. But she liked the ring the most. It was pink and shiny. She said, "I want the ring, Mommy. But the pill is yucky."
+
+"I know, Anna. But it will be over soon. And then you can have the ring. Come on, let's do it together. I'll get you some water and a cookie. You can swallow the pill with the water and then eat the cookie. OK?"
+
+Anna nodded. She crawled out from under the bed. She took the pill from Mommy and put it in her mouth. She drank the water and ate the cookie. She made a face and said, "All done, Mommy."
+
+"Good girl, Anna. I'm proud of you. Here is your ring. You can keep it. But don't lose it, OK? And don't touch the other fancy things. They are not for playing. They are for special occasions."
