We can sew it and make it bigger. Or we can give it to a smaller doll. Or we can make something else with the cloth. There are many possibilities. The important thing is that you love Anna and you love me. I love you, too. And I love the red dress. It's very pretty on Anna." + +Lily stopped crying. She felt better. She said: "Thank you, Grandma. You are very nice. I love you, too. And I love Anna. And I love the red dress. And I love the blue cloth.

The cat is gone. Come back with me. We can play with the stick." He picked up the stick and waved it in front of Rex. But Rex did not look at the stick. He looked at the tree and growled. + +Tom saw that Rex had hurt his paw. He had a cut on his heel from the tree. It was bleeding and it looked sore. Tom felt sorry for Rex. He said, "Rex, you are hurt. Let me help you. We can go home and put a bandage on your paw." He took Rex's paw and gently touched his heel. Rex whimpered and licked Tom's face. + +Tom smiled and hugged Rex. He said, "Rex, you are a good dog. I love you. But you should not chase cats. They are not your friends. They are trouble." He led Rex back to his house, where his mom gave him a bandage and a treat. Rex wagged his tail and snuggled with Tom. He was happy and safe. He forgot about the cat. He only wanted to be with Tom. +Anna and Ben love to play in the garden. They like to smell the flowers and look for bugs. One day, they find a big patch of herbs. They see mint, basil, rosemary and more. + +"Let's race to see who can pick the most herbs!" Ben says. He runs to the mint and starts to pull the leaves. Anna runs to the basil and does the same. + +They pick and pick and pick. They fill their baskets with green and purple and yellow herbs. They laugh and shout and have fun. + +But then, Anna sees something unique. It is a herb she has never seen before. It has tiny white flowers and a sweet smell. She picks one and shows it to Ben. + +"Wow, what is that?" Ben asks. He smells it and smiles. "It smells like honey!" + +"I don't know, but it is very pretty," Anna says. "Let's share it with Mom and Dad. Maybe they know what it is." + +They stop racing and walk to the house. They hold hands and carry their baskets. They are happy to have found a new herb. They wonder what it is called and what it can do. They can't wait to find out. +Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom. They saw a big book with pictures of cakes on the cabinet.

They put the card next to the cake and waited for Mom to come home. They said, "We can't wait to see Mom's face!" +Tim and Sam were playing cowboys in the yard. They had hats and pistols and horses made of sticks. They liked to pretend they were brave and strong and chased bad guys. + +But then Sam saw that Tim had a bigger pistol than him. He felt angry and jealous. He said to Tim, "That's not fair! Your pistol is too big! Give it to me!" + +Tim said, "No way! This is my pistol! I found it in the garage. You have your own pistol. Go away!" + +Sam did not go away. He tried to grab Tim's pistol. They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. Their pistols fell on the grass. + +Their mom heard the noise and came out. She saw them fighting and was very upset. She said, "Stop it, both of you! What are you doing? You are brothers, not enemies! You should share and play nicely!" + +She picked up their pistols and said, "These are not toys. They are dangerous. You could hurt yourselves or someone else. You have to quit playing with them. I'm taking them away." + +Tim and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We won't play with pistols anymore. We'll play something else." + +Mom said, "That's good. I'm glad you understand. Now hug and make up." + +Tim and Sam hugged and said, "We love you, mom. We love you, brother." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you, too. Now go and have fun.

He sees some people playing with the pole. They hit a small ball with a stick over a net. They call it tennis. Sam thinks it looks fun. He wants to try. + +He asks the people if he can play with them. They say yes, but he has to serve first. Sam does not know what that means. They show him how to throw the ball up and hit it with the stick. Sam tries, but he misses. He tries again, but he hits the net. He tries one more time, but he hits the pole. + +The people laugh. They say he is not very good at tennis. They say he should go home and practice. Sam feels sad. He does not like to be laughed at. He takes his ball and his bike and goes home. + +He tells his mom what happened. She hugs him and says he is very intelligent. She says he can learn anything he wants. She says he just needs to practice and have fun. She says she is proud of him. Sam feels happy. He says he loves his mom. He says he will try tennis again tomorrow. He says he will serve better. He says he will hit the ball, not the pole. +Lily and Ben like to act. They have a big net that they use as a curtain. They make up stories and act them out for their toys. Sometimes they are pirates, sometimes they are fairies, sometimes they are animals. + +One day, they decide to act a new story. They want to be original. They think hard and look around the room. They see a book, a lamp, a ball and a hat. They have an idea. + +"Let's act a story about a book that can talk," Lily says. + +"OK, and I can be the lamp that helps the book see," Ben says. + +They put the net up and get ready. They say, "Welcome to our show!" + +Lily holds the book and makes a funny voice. "Hello, I am a book. I have many stories inside me. But I am lonely. I wish I had a friend." + +Ben holds the lamp and makes a bright voice. "Hello, I am a lamp. I have a light inside me. But I am bored. I wish I had something to do." + +They pretend to see each other and smile. They say, "Hi, you look nice. Do you want to be friends?" + +They nod and hug. They say, "Yes, let's be friends.

She watered them every day and sang to them. + +One day, she saw a big flower in the park. It was red and yellow and had many petals. It was the most beautiful flower she had ever seen. She wanted to have it in her garden. She was envious of the flower. + +She asked her mom if she could take the flower home. Her mom said no. She said the flower belonged to the park and to everyone who visited it. She said taking the flower would make it die and make the park sad. + +Lila was sad too.

She said she had to believe her and trust her. + +Lila wiped her tears and nodded. She was curious about the surprise. She hoped it was something nice. + +When they got home, Lila saw a big box in the garden. Her mom told her to open it. Lila opened it and gasped.

She thanked her and said she loved her. She said she loved the plant too. She said she would water it and sing to it every day. + +She was not envious of the flower in the park anymore. She had her own flower in her garden. She believed it would be the most beautiful flower ever. +Lily was restless. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to play with her toys and books. She got out of her bed and went to her closet. She opened the closet door and saw many things inside. + +"Wow!" she said. "Look at all these things! I can have so much fun!" + +She took out a big box and opened it. Inside, there were many blocks of different colors and shapes. She started to build a tower with the blocks. She put one block on top of another, and another, and another. She wanted to make the tower very high. + +But then, something happened. The tower was too high and it started to wobble. Lily tried to hold it, but it was too late. The tower fell down with a loud crash. The blocks flew everywhere and some of them hit Lily on the head. + +"Ow!" she cried.

"It's time to sleep, not to play!" + +Lily felt sorry. She knew she was naughty. She looked at her mom with big eyes and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was restless. I wanted to play with the blocks. But they fell down and hurt me." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you were restless. But you need to sleep now. Sleep is good for you. It makes you grow and learn and dream. Come on, let's clean up the blocks and go back to bed." + +Lily nodded. She helped her mom pick up the blocks and put them back in the box. She closed the closet door and went back to her bed. Her mom tucked her in and kissed her goodnight. + +"Goodnight, Lily. I love you," she said. + +"Goodnight, mom. I love you too," Lily said. + +She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She was not restless anymore. She was tired and happy. She dreamed of building a tower with the blocks, but this time, it did not fall down. It reached the sky and she saw many stars. She smiled in her sleep. +Ben was a naughty boy. He liked to play with water and make a mess. One day, he turned on the tap in the sink and filled a big cup with water. Then he ran around the house and threw water at his toys, his books and his sister. His sister cried and told their mum. + +Mum was very angry. She saw the water everywhere and Ben's wet clothes. She said, "Ben, you are a bad boy. You wasted water and made a mess. You need to be punished." She took Ben to the sink and turned on the cold tap. She put Ben's hand under the water and said, "This is how water feels. It is cold and wet. Do you like it?" Ben said, "No, mum, I don't like it. It hurts. I'm sorry." Mum said, "You should be sorry. Water is precious and you should not waste it or use it to hurt others. You need to learn your lesson." + +Mum turned off the tap and dried Ben's hand. She said, "Now you have to clean up the mess you made. You have to wipe the water from the floor, the toys, the books and your sister. And you have to say sorry to your sister and give her a hug. And you have to change your clothes and put them in the laundry. And you have to stay in your room until dinner. Do you understand?" Ben said, "Yes, mum, I understand. I'm sorry. I won't do it again." Mum said, "Good. Now go and do what I said." + +Ben did what mum said. He cleaned up the mess, said sorry to his sister, changed his clothes and went to his room.

They don't know what to do. + +Then, they hear a sound. It is a bike. A man is riding the bike. He sees Tom and Sue. He stops near them. + +"Hello, kids. Are you lost? Do you need help?" the man asks. + +"Yes, please. We are lost. We want to go home. The heat is too much. We need water," Tom and Sue say. + +The man smiles. He has a bottle of water and a map.

They sorted their books by how big they were. They sorted their clothes by what they wore on different days. + +One day, they went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals there. They saw pigs, sheep, horses and cows. Ben and Lily wanted to sort the animals too. + +They ran to the cow pen and looked at the cows. They saw that some cows were big and some were small. Some cows were black and white and some were brown. Some cows had horns and some did not. + +Ben and Lily decided to sort the cows by size. They pointed at the cows and said "big" or "small". They tried to count how many big cows and how many small cows there were. They wanted to see who could find more. + +But they did not agree on which cows were big and which were small. Ben said that a cow was big if it was taller than him. Lily said that a cow was big if it was wider than her. They argued and got angry. They were very competitive. + +The cows did not like the noise and the pointing. They mooed and kicked and moved around. They mixed up the cows that Ben and Lily had sorted. They made a big mess. + +Ben and Lily stopped arguing and looked at the cows. They saw that the cows were not happy. They felt sorry for the cows. They said "sorry" to the cows and to each other.

You should be kind." + +Lily felt bad. She saw Ben's tears. She remembered how much she liked to play with him. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I was selfish. I want to share my toys.

I'm sorry for the smoke." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I know, Lily. You are a good girl. You don't have to be sorry. You can design a new bug. Maybe a different color. Maybe a different shape. Maybe with wings. You can use your imagination. You are a great designer." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love to design. Can I design a new bug now?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's clean up the mess. And let's be careful with the stove. And let's pet the cat. He is a good cat. He did not mean to make you fall." + +Lily said, "Okay, mom. Let's do that. And then, let's design a new bug. A better bug. A bug that won't burn." +Tim and Mia like to play in the garden. They see many things there: flowers, birds, bees, and ants. One day, they find a big ant hill under a tree. They want to look closer, but they are afraid of the ants. + +"Let's whisper, so they don't hear us," Tim says. He and Mia bend down and talk very softly.

It has long jaws and a red head. It looks very fierce. It sees Tim and Mia and makes a loud noise. It runs towards them, waving its jaws. + +"Run!" Tim shouts.

The dress had many flowers made of thread on it. Anna wanted to make a dress like that. She asked her mom to buy her some thread. Her mom said yes. + +Anna went home and started to make a dress. She used the same colors and shapes as the girl in the park. She worked very hard. She finished the dress. She put it on. She looked in the mirror. She did not like it. She did not look like herself. She looked like the girl in the park. + +She took off the dress. She felt sad. She looked at her other things made of thread. They were original. They were beautiful. They were hers. She smiled. She realized something. She did not need to copy anyone else. She could be original. She could be herself. + +She picked up her needle and thread. She started to make something new.

They liked to zoom them around the floor and make loud noises. Sara had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They were having fun, but they also had to be careful. Their mom had told them that the toy cars were delicate and could break easily. + +"Look, Sara, I can make my car jump over this book!" Ben said, as he pushed his car hard and lifted it in the air. + +"Wow, that's cool, Ben! But be careful, you might drop it and it will break," Sara warned him. + +"I won't drop it, I can manage it.

Ben cried, as he ran to pick it up. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, that's too bad," Sara said, as she followed him. + +Ben looked at his broken car and felt very sad. He wished he had listened to Sara and his mom. He realized that he had been too reckless and had ruined his toy. + +"Mom, I broke my car!" Ben said, as he showed his mom his car. + +Mom looked at the car and sighed. She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben, but I told you to be careful with your toy cars. They are delicate and can't handle too much force. You have to learn to play gently and respect your things." + +Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I learned my lesson. Can you fix my car?" + +Mom smiled and said, "I'll try, but I can't promise. Maybe next time you'll be more careful and manage your toy cars better." + +Ben said, "I will, Mom, I promise. And I'll share my car with Sara, too. She was right, I should have been more careful." + +Mom kissed Ben and said, "That's very nice of you, Ben. I'm proud of you for being honest and kind. Now, why don't you and Sara play with something else while I see what I can do with your car?" + +Ben and Sara thanked Mom and went to play with their blocks. They decided to build a garage for their cars and be gentle with them. They learned that being careful and sharing are important values. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they found a big jar of sugar on the shelf. They wanted to taste it, so they climbed on a chair and opened the lid. But they were not careful, and the jar fell on the floor. Sugar went everywhere, and the jar broke into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "Mom will be mad at us. We made a big mess." + +Ben was scared too. He saw a broom and a dustpan in the corner. He had an idea. "Let's restore the jar and the sugar," he said. "Then Mom won't know." + +Lily nodded. She thought it was a good idea. They took the broom and the dustpan and tried to sweep up the sugar and the pieces of the jar. But it was hard. The sugar was sticky and the pieces were sharp. They cut their fingers and got sugar in their hair. + +They were still working when Mom came home. She saw the mess and the twins. She was not happy. She asked them what happened. Lily and Ben told her the truth. They said they were sorry and that they tried to restore the jar and the sugar. + +Mom sighed. She hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are honest, but that was a stupid thing to do. You could have hurt yourselves or eaten too much sugar. Sugar is not a toy. It is for cooking and baking. And you can't restore a broken jar. It is gone forever. Next time, ask me before you touch anything in the kitchen." + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They said they were sorry again and helped Mom clean up the rest of the mess. They learned their lesson. They never played with sugar again. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They share a room and a bed. But they do not like to sleep together. Tim is big and Sam is small. Tim takes up a lot of space on the mattress. Sam feels squished and unhappy. + +One night, Sam says to Tim, "I want my own bed. You are too big. You do not fit on the mattress. You make me sleepy and sore." + +Tim says to Sam, "I do not want to share the bed either. You are too small. You do not fit on the mattress. You make me hot and itchy." + +They decide to ask their mom for a new bed. They go to her room and knock on the door. She opens it and sees them. She says, "What is wrong, boys? Why are you not in bed?" + +Tim and Sam tell her their problem. They say, "We do not fit on the mattress. We need a new bed. Please, mom, can we have a new bed?" + +Mom thinks for a moment. She says, "I have an idea. Why don't you try sleeping on the couch in the living room? It is big and soft. Maybe you will fit better there." + +Tim and Sam like the idea. They say, "Thank you, mom. We will try the couch." + +They go to the living room and find the couch. They put their pillows and blankets on it. They lie down and snuggle. They feel cozy and comfortable. They fit on the couch. They are not sleepy and sore anymore. They are happy and sleepy. They close their eyes and fall asleep. +Lily liked to play with her toys in the bath. She had a case full of dolls and cars and boats that she could make splash and zoom and float. She also liked to make bubbles with the soap and blow them in the air. She thought it was fun to bathe. + +But one day, she played too long in the bath. The water got cold and she got dizzy. She felt sick and tired and wanted to get out. But she could not reach the case with her toys. She tried to stand up and grab it, but she slipped and fell. She hit her head on the tub and started to cry. + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to the bathroom. She saw Lily lying on the floor, bleeding and crying. She was very scared and sad. She picked up Lily and wrapped her in a towel. She called for help and took her to the hospital. She hoped Lily would be okay, but she did not know. She wished she had checked on Lily sooner. She felt very sorry and guilty. She thought it was not fun to bathe. +Sara liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a long white veil in a box and put it on her head. She felt like a princess. She wanted to show her mom how pretty she looked. + +She ran down the stairs with the veil trailing behind her. She did not see the toy car that her brother left on the floor. She stepped on it and slipped. She fell down the stairs and hit her head. The veil got tangled around her neck. + +Her mom heard the noise and came running. She saw Sara lying on the floor, not moving. She screamed and ran to her. She tried to reverse the veil from her neck, but it was too tight. She cried and called for help, but it was too late. Sara was gone. + +Her brother heard the scream and came running. He saw Sara and the toy car and the veil. He realized what he had done. He felt very sorry. He wished he had put away his toy car. He wished he could reverse what happened. He wished he could say sorry to Sara and his mom. But he could not. He could only cry. +Lisa loved to play in the garden with her mommy. She liked to see the flowers bloom in different colors. She wanted to pick some for her daddy, who was at work. Mommy said she could, but only a few. + +Lisa looked for the prettiest flowers. She saw a big red one that was very bright. She reached for it, but it was too high. She tried to jump, but she fell on the grass. She felt a bump on her head and started to cry. + +Mommy heard her and ran to her. She hugged her and checked her head. She said it was not bad, just a little scratch. She gave her a band-aid and a kiss. She asked her if she still wanted to pick flowers. + +Lisa nodded, but she felt embarrassed. She did not want to fall again. She looked for a lower flower, but they were all small and pale. She did not like them. She wished she could have the big red one. + +Mommy saw her sad face and had an idea. She went to the shed and got a flashlight. She turned it on and shone it on the big red flower. She said, "Look, Lisa, now you can see it better. It is a special flower that glows in the dark. Do you want to pick it?" + +Lisa smiled and clapped her hands. She said, "Yes, please, mommy, thank you!" She ran to the flower and picked it carefully. She held it up to the flashlight and saw it shine. She was very happy. She said, "It is the most beautiful flower ever. Daddy will love it." + +Mommy smiled and said, "I'm sure he will, sweetie. You are a very good picker. Now let's go inside and make a vase for it. And maybe we can have some cookies, too." + +Lisa agreed and followed her mommy. She hugged the flashlight and the flower. She felt proud and excited. She said, "This is the best day ever, mommy. I love you." + +Mommy said, "I love you, too, Lisa. You are my special flower." +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower with all the blocks they had. They worked hard and helped each other to stack the blocks one by one. + +"Look, our tower is so tall!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is!" Tom said. "But we need one more block to make it perfect." + +They looked around and saw that there was only one block left. It was a shiny block with a spark on it. It was Tom's favorite block. He had brought it from home. + +"Can I have the spark block, please?" Lily asked. "It will make our tower look so pretty." + +Tom hesitated. He wanted to keep the spark block for himself. He thought of a lie. + +"Sorry, Lily, but this is not a block. It is a magic stone. It belongs to me. You can't use it for the tower." He said. + +Lily felt sad. She did not believe Tom. She knew it was a block. She had seen him play with it before. + +"That's not honest, Tom. You are lying to me. That's not nice." She said. + +Tom felt ashamed. He knew he was lying to Lily. He knew it was not nice. He remembered that Lily was his friend. He wanted to make her happy. + +"You are right, Lily. I am sorry. I was lying to you. That's not honest. You can have the spark block. It will make our tower look pretty." He said. + +He gave the spark block to Lily. She smiled and thanked him. They put the spark block on top of the tower. It made the tower look very pretty. They were both happy. + +They learned that being honest is better than lying. They learned that sharing is better than keeping. They learned that friendship is more important than things. They hugged each other and continued to play. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Sara wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Sara says. "You can go with me." + +"No, thank you, Sara. I do not like the slide. It is too high and too fast. I like the swings better." Ben says. + +Sara is sad. She wants Ben to try the slide. She thinks of a plan. She tells Ben a lie. + +"Ben, look! There is a sight at the top of the slide. You can see the whole park and the birds and the flowers. It is very pretty. Do you want to see it?" Sara says. + +Ben likes sights. He likes to see new things. He thinks maybe the slide is not so bad. He nods his head. + +"Okay, Sara. I will go with you. But you have to hold my hand." Ben says. + +Sara smiles. She takes Ben's hand and they climb the stairs. Ben is nervous. He looks at the slide. It is very long and steep. He looks at Sara. She looks happy. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Sara says. + +Ben is not ready. He wants to go back. He remembers Sara's lie. + +"Sara, where is the sight? I do not see anything." Ben says. + +Sara feels bad. She knows she was not honest. She knows she hurt Ben's feelings. + +"I am sorry, Ben. There is no sight. I just wanted you to go on the slide with me. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" Sara says. + +Ben is angry. He does not like lies. He does not like the slide. He does not want to be Sara's friend. + +"No, Sara. You are not a good friend. You lied to me. You made me scared. I do not forgive you. I do not want to play with you."

She wishes Ben was still her friend. She sits on the slide and cries. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room.

Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know what was happening. They cried and hugged each other. + +Their mom ran to them and picked them up. She was scared too, but she tried to be brave. She told them it was an earthquake, a powerful shaking of the earth. She said they had to go outside, where it was safer. She carried them to the door and opened it. + +Outside, they saw other people running and screaming. They saw cracks in the road and smoke from the buildings. They heard sirens and horns. They felt more shaking and heard more crashing. They were very afraid. + +Their mom took them to a park, where there was a big field. She put them down on the grass and hugged them again.

It saw the water and the spray bottle. It smelled Lily. It did not know what she was. It came closer to see. Lily was happy. She sprayed some more water on the grass. She said, "Hello, fox. Do you want to play?" + +The fox was not sure. It liked water, but it did not like noise. It heard Lily's voice and saw her smile. It thought she was friendly, but it was also shy. It stayed a little bit away from Lily. It wagged its tail. + +Lily and the fox looked at each other. They wanted to play, but they did not know how. They were different, but they were also alike. They both liked water and modest things. They both wanted to have fun. They both wanted to be friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big red lollipop on a bench. Lily ran to get it, but Max was faster. He grabbed the lollipop and licked it. + +"Give me some!" Lily said. "It's mine!" Max said. "You are mean!" Lily said. They started to fight over the lollipop. + +A man came to the bench. He looked angry. He said, "Hey, that's my lollipop! I left it here for a minute. Give it back!" + +Max and Lily were scared. They dropped the lollipop and ran away. The man picked up the lollipop and threw it in the trash. He said, "It's dirty now. You kids are naughty!" + +Max and Lily felt bad. They said sorry to each other. They decided to share their toys and snacks. They learned not to take things that are not theirs. They also learned that lollipops are not good for their teeth.

"Mom, why is my sunflower not growing? I watered it and gave it sun. Did I do something wrong?" + +Her mom looked at the pot and smiled. "No, Anna, you didn't do anything wrong. Sometimes seeds take a long time to grow. You have to be patient and keep taking care of them. Don't ignore them, even if you don't see anything. They are still alive under the soil. One day, you will see a green shoot coming out. Then you will know your sunflower is growing." + +Anna felt better. She decided to listen to her mom and not ignore her sunflower. She kept watering it and giving it sun. She talked to it and sang to it. She hoped it would hear her and grow faster. + +One morning, she woke up and ran to the balcony. She gasped in surprise and joy. There, in the pot, was a tiny green shoot poking out of the soil. Her sunflower was growing! + +"Mom, mom, look!" she shouted. "My sunflower is growing! It has a green shoot! It's so cute!" + +Her mom came to the balcony and hugged her. "I'm so proud of you, Anna. You did a great job. You were patient and caring. You didn't ignore your sunflower. And now it's growing. Soon it will have a big yellow face and a soft petal. And you will have a beautiful sunflower to look at and feel." + +Anna smiled and hugged her mom back. She was so happy. She loved her sunflower. She couldn't wait to see it grow more and more. She knew it would be the best sunflower ever. +Lily and her dad were going to the park in their car. Lily liked the park. She liked the swings and the slide and the ducks. She was happy and sang a song. + +But then the car made a loud noise and stopped. Lily was scared. She saw smoke coming out of the car. She cried and hugged her dad. + +"It's okay, Lily. Don't cry. We need to call a mechanic. He can fix the car. He is a nice man who knows a lot about cars." Dad said. He took out his phone and called a mechanic. + +Soon, a big truck came. A jolly man got out of the truck. He had a blue suit and a hat. He smiled and waved at Lily and her dad. + +"Hello, I'm Bob. I'm the mechanic. What's wrong with your car?" He asked. + +Dad told him what happened. Bob nodded and looked at the car. He opened the hood and checked the engine. He shook his head and frowned. + +"I'm sorry, but your car is very broken. It can't be fixed. You need a new car." He said. + +Lily and her dad were shocked. They loved their car. They had many memories in their car. They felt sad and angry. + +"But we can't afford a new car. We need this car. Can't you do anything?" Dad asked. + +Bob shook his head again. He said he was sorry, but he couldn't help them. He said he had to go. He got back in his truck and drove away. + +Lily and her dad were left alone on the road. They had no car, no park, no fun. They had to walk home. They were very unhappy. They wished they had never left the house. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the big house. They had many toys and books and games, but they also liked to explore the rooms and halls. One day, they found a door that was locked. They wondered what was behind it. + +They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They tried to push the door, but it did not move. They tried to kick the door, but it only made a loud noise. They struggled to open the door, but it was too strong. They felt sad and angry. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was soft and kind. It said, "Hello, children. Do you want to see what is behind the door?" They turned around and saw a ghost. He was white and misty, and he had a smile. He said, "I am the ghost of the old man who lived here long ago. I know where the key is. Do you want to follow me?" + +Tom and Lily were scared, but they were also curious. They nodded and followed the ghost. He led them to a closet, where he moved a coat and showed them a small box. He said, "The key is in here. But you have to promise me something. You have to be careful and respectful of what you find behind the door. It is very old and precious. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Lily nodded again. They opened the box and took the key. They thanked the ghost, who said, "You are welcome. You are brave and polite children. I like you. Now, go and see what is behind the door. But remember your promise." He waved and disappeared. + +Tom and Lily ran to the door and used the key. The door opened and they saw a big room. It was full of books and paintings and statues and maps and instruments. It was like a museum. They gasped and smiled. They had found the old man's treasure. They walked in and looked around. They felt happy and amazed. They also felt wise, because they had learned something new. They had learned that ghosts can be friendly, and that secrets can be wonderful. +Lily liked to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her feet, she danced with her arms, she danced with her head. She danced when she was happy, she danced when she was sad, she danced when she was bored. + +One day, Lily found a long finger. It was not a real finger, it was a toy finger. It was pink and soft and had a nail. Lily put the finger on her hand and danced with it. She made the finger wave and point and tap. She made the finger dance with her other fingers. She had fun with the finger. + +But then, Lily's mom came and saw the finger. She said, "Lily, where did you get that finger? That is not your toy, that is my glove. You took it from my closet. That is not nice, Lily. You have to give it back to me." + +Lily felt bad. She did not know it was a glove. She did not know it was her mom's. She liked the finger, but she did not want to make her mom mad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I thought it was a finger. I wanted to dance with it. Can I keep it, please?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I understand, Lily. You have a big imagination. But you have to ask before you take things that are not yours. How about we share the glove? You can play with it sometimes, and I can wear it sometimes. And we can dance together, too." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She gave the glove back to her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can we dance now?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. Let's dance, Lily. Let's dance with our fingers." +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, swings, slides. They also saw a big statue of a man on a horse. The statue was very high and shiny. + +"Who is that?" Lily asked Mom, pointing at the statue. + +Mom smiled and said, "That is a hero. He was brave and helped many people a long time ago. His name is George." + +"What did he do?" Ben asked. + +Mom explained, "He fought in a war for freedom. He was the leader of the soldiers. He also became the first president of our country." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to know more, but Mom said it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the statue and thanked him for being a hero. They hoped to come back to the park and learn more about George and his horse. +Lily was a little girl who liked to lie. She lied to her mom, her dad, and her friends. She lied about what she ate, what she did, and what she saw. She thought lying was funny and smart. + +One day, Lily went to a big castle with her class. They saw many rooms, paintings, and jewels. They also saw the queen, who was very kind and beautiful. The queen smiled and waved at the children. Lily wanted to talk to the queen, so she lied to her teacher and said she had to go to the bathroom. + +Lily ran to the throne room, where the queen was sitting. She bowed and said, "Hello, your majesty. I am Lily, and I am your biggest fan. I know everything about you and your kingdom. Can I ask you a question?" + +The queen was surprised and curious. She said, "Of course, my dear. What do you want to know?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I want to know how you became the queen. Did you marry a prince? Did you find a magic crown? Did you fight a dragon?" + +The queen laughed and said, "No, no, and no. I became the queen because I am the daughter of the king, who died when I was young. I have no husband, no magic, and no enemies. I rule with love and wisdom." + +Lily was disappointed. She thought the queen's story was boring and plain. She decided to lie again and make up a better story. She said, "That's not true. You are lying. I know the real story. You are not the queen. You are a witch who stole the queen's face and voice. You are evil and mean. You want to hurt the people and take their money. I am here to stop you and save the kingdom." + +The queen was shocked and angry. She said, "How dare you? You are a rude and foolish child. You have no respect and no manners. You are lying and making trouble. Guards, take her away and lock her up. She will learn her lesson and never lie again." + +The guards came and grabbed Lily. They dragged her to a dark and cold dungeon. Lily cried and screamed. She realized she made a big mistake. She wished she never lied. She wished she was nice and polite. She wished she could go back to her mom, her dad, and her friends. But it was too late. She was stuck in the castle, alone and scared. Lying was not funny and smart. Lying was bad and sad. The end. +Lily had a soft blanket that she loved very much. She named her blanket Bluey, because it was blue like the sky. She took Bluey everywhere with her, to the park, to the store, to the library. She hugged Bluey when she was happy, and when she was sad, and when she was sleepy. + +One day, Lily went to visit her grandma, who lived far away. She packed her clothes, her toys, and her Bluey in a big bag. She was very excited to see her grandma, who always baked cookies and read stories. She got on a plane with her mom and dad, and flew high in the air. + +When Lily arrived at her grandma's house, she opened her bag to get her Bluey. But she could not find him. She looked and looked, but he was not there. She felt very sad and scared. She started to cry. Where was her Bluey? + +Her mom and dad hugged her and tried to calm her down. They said they were sorry, and that maybe Bluey was left on the plane, or in the car, or at the airport. They said they would call and ask, and try to find him. They said they would buy her a new blanket, if they could not. + +But Lily did not want a new blanket. She wanted her Bluey. He was her best friend. She missed him so much. She could not sleep without him. She could not stop crying. + +Her grandma heard her crying, and came to her room. She saw Lily holding her empty bag, and asked her what was wrong. Lily told her about her Bluey, and how he was lost. Her grandma felt sorry for her, and hugged her. She said she had something for her, and went to get it. + +She came back with a soft blanket that she had made herself. It was blue like the sky, and had stars and moons on it. She said she had made it for Lily, because she knew she liked blue. She said she hoped Lily would like it, and that she could name it whatever she wanted. + +Lily looked at the blanket, and felt it with her fingers. It was very soft, and warm, and pretty. She smiled, and thanked her grandma. She said she liked it very much, and that she would name it Starry. She hugged her grandma, and her Starry, and felt a little better. + +She still missed her Bluey, and hoped he would come back. But she was glad she had her Starry, and her grandma, and her mom and dad. She snuggled with her Starry, and listened to her grandma's stories. She fell asleep, and dreamed of blue skies. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big door made of steel. It is shiny and hard. They want to see what is behind the door. + +They push the door and it opens. They go inside. It is dark and cold. They hear a loud noise. It is a scary noise. They want to go back. + +They run to the door. But the door is closed. It is locked. They cannot open it. They are trapped. They are scared. They cry for help. + +A man hears them. He has a key. He comes to the door. He unlocks it. He opens it. He sees Lily and Tom. He is angry. + +He asks them why they are there. They say they are sorry. They say they were curious. They say they are scared. + +The man is not so angry. He tells them the door is not for playing. He tells them it is dangerous. He tells them it is a storage room. He tells them to go back to the park. He tells them to be careful. + +Lily and Tom say thank you. They say they will not do it again. They run back to the park. They hug their mom. They are happy. They are safe. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and running around. Anna and Ben were scared of the dog. They ran to hide behind a bench. + +"Ben, I am worry. What if the dog finds us?" Anna said. + +"Don't worry, Anna. Maybe the dog is just looking for his owner. Maybe he is lost and sad. We should be compassionate and help him," Ben said. + +"How can we help him, Ben? He is too big and loud. He might bite us," Anna said. + +Ben had an idea. He took out a tip from his pocket. It was a tip that his mom gave him for being good. He said, "Look, Anna. I have a tip. We can use it to buy a treat for the dog. Maybe he will like it and stop barking. Maybe he will be our friend." + +Anna liked Ben's idea. She said, "OK, Ben. Let's try it. But we have to be careful and gentle. Maybe the dog is scared too." + +Anna and Ben got up from behind the bench. They walked slowly and quietly to the dog. They held out the tip and said, "Hello, dog. We are Anna and Ben. We want to help you. We have a tip for you. You can buy a treat with it. Do you want it?" + +The dog stopped barking and looked at them. He wagged his tail and licked their hands. He took the tip and ran to the shop. He came back with a bone. He shared the bone with Anna and Ben. They played together in the park. They became friends. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes, people or animals who seem scary or mean are just lonely or misunderstood. If we are compassionate and kind, we can make new friends and help others. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. The park has a big slide. Sara and Ben love the slide. + +One day, they go to the park and see a new boy. The new boy is on the slide. He does not let Sara and Ben go on the slide. He says, "This is my slide. I own it. You can't play on it." + +Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They want to play on the slide too. They say, "No, you don't own it. The slide is for everyone. You have to share." + +The new boy does not listen. He says, "No, I don't have to share. The slide is old and dirty. You can't make it fun. Only I can make it fun." + +Sara and Ben do not like the new boy. They think he is mean and rude. They decide to play on the swings instead. They have fun on the swings. They do not need the slide. + +The new boy is alone on the slide. He is bored and lonely. He sees Sara and Ben on the swings. He wishes he had friends. He thinks maybe he was wrong. He thinks maybe he should share. He thinks maybe the slide is not so old and dirty. He thinks maybe the slide is more fun with others. He thinks maybe he should say sorry. He thinks maybe he should ask Sara and Ben to play with him. He thinks maybe he should be nice. He thinks maybe he should be a friend. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play football in the park. They kick the ball and run and laugh. One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has a hose and a bucket. The truck is cleaning the park. + +"Look, Tom, a truck!" Ben says. + +"What is it doing?" Tom asks. + +"It is making the park clean. It is washing the dirt and the trash," Ben says. + +They watch the truck for a while. Then they see something on the ground. It is round and brown and has white lines. It is their football. But it is very dirty. The truck has sprayed water on it. + +"Oh no, our football!" Tom says. + +"Let's get it!" Ben says. + +They run to the football. But the truck is faster. The truck picks up the football with a big claw. The truck puts the football in the bucket. + +"Hey, that's our football!" Tom shouts. + +"Give it back!" Ben shouts. + +But the truck does not hear them. The truck drives away with the football. + +Tom and Ben are sad. They have lost their football. They do not want to play anymore. They go home. + +The next day, they go to the park again. They hope to find their football. But they do not see it. They see a new ball instead. It is round and red and has white stars. It is a new football. It is very clean. + +"Look, Ben, a football!" Tom says. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Ben says. + +They go to the football. They see a note on it. The note says: "Sorry for taking your football. Here is a new one. Have fun. The truck." + +Tom and Ben are happy. They have a new football. They thank the truck. They kick the ball and run and laugh. They play football in the park. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of animals, like a lion, a giraffe, a monkey and a rhinoceros. Sara liked the rhinoceros best, because it had a big horn and a thick skin. Ben liked the lion best, because it had a loud roar and a fluffy mane. + +"Let's make a zoo with our animals," Sara said. "We can put them in different places and pretend we are the zookeepers." + +"OK," Ben said. "But I want to be the boss of the zoo. I will tell you where to put the animals and what to do." + +Sara did not like that, but she agreed. She wanted to play with Ben. They started to arrange the animals in the garden. Ben told Sara to put the lion here, the giraffe there, the monkey on the tree and the rhinoceros in the corner. + +"Why do you put the rhinoceros in the corner?" Sara asked. "He is my favorite animal. I want to play with him." + +"Because he is too big and scary," Ben said. "He might hurt the other animals or us. He has to stay in the corner, away from everyone." + +Sara felt sad. She did not think the rhinoceros was scary. She thought he was gentle and nice. She wanted to show Ben that he was wrong. She went to the corner and hugged the rhinoceros. She stroked his horn and his skin. She whispered in his ear, "You are not scary. You are my friend." + +The rhinoceros smiled. He liked Sara. He licked her face with his tongue. He made a soft noise with his nose. He lifted her up with his horn and put her on his back. He walked slowly to the center of the garden, where Ben was. + +Ben saw Sara and the rhinoceros. He was surprised and scared. He thought the rhinoceros was going to attack him. He ran away and hid behind the tree. + +Sara laughed. She said to Ben, "Don't be afraid. The rhinoceros is not mean. He is gentle. He likes me. He likes you too. He just wants to play with us. Come and join us. We can have fun together." + +Ben came out from behind the tree. He looked at the rhinoceros. He saw that he was not angry. He saw that he was happy. He felt sorry for being rude to him. He said to Sara and the rhinoceros, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. You are right. The rhinoceros is not scary. He is gentle. He is your friend. He can be my friend too. Can I play with you?" + +Sara and the rhinoceros nodded. They welcomed Ben to their zoo. They played with all the animals. They had a lot of fun. They learned to be kind and respectful to everyone, no matter how they looked. + +The end. +Anna liked to play in the snow with her friends. She had a red mitten and a blue mitten. They were warm and soft. She made a snowman and a snow angel. She was happy. + +But then a big dog came. The dog was black and angry. It barked and ran at Anna. Anna was scared. She dropped her red mitten and ran away. The dog saw the mitten and bit it. It tore the mitten with its teeth. The mitten was fragile and broke. + +Anna cried. She lost her red mitten. She was cold and sad. She went home and told her mom. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I know you liked your mitten. But don't worry, we can buy a new one." + +But Anna did not want a new mitten. She wanted her red mitten. She said, "No, mom. I don't want a new mitten. I want my red mitten. It was my favorite. The dog was bad. It ruined my mitten. I hate the dog." + +Her mom said, "I understand, Anna. But you can't have your red mitten back. It's gone. And you can't hate the dog. It didn't know better. It was just playing. Maybe it was hungry or lonely. You have to be kind to animals, even if they do something wrong." + +But Anna did not listen. She was angry and stubborn. She said, "No, mom. I don't care. I hate the dog. I want my red mitten. I don't want to be kind. I want to be mean." + +Her mom was sad and disappointed. She said, "Anna, that's not nice. That's not how you should be. If you are mean, you will have no friends. You will be lonely and unhappy. You have to learn to forgive and share. You have to be a good girl." + +But Anna did not care. She said, "No, mom. I don't want to be a good girl. I want to be a bad girl. I want to be mean to everyone. I want to be mean to the dog. I want to hurt the dog. I want to make the dog cry." + +Her mom was shocked and scared. She said, "Anna, stop it. That's horrible. That's evil. You can't do that. You can't hurt the dog. You can't hurt anyone. That's wrong. That's bad. You will get in trouble. You will make me sad. You will make yourself sad. Please, Anna, don't be like that. Please, Anna, be a good girl." + +But Anna did not stop. She said, "No, mom. I don't care. I don't care about you. I don't care about myself. I don't care about anyone. I only care about my red mitten. I want my red mitten. I will get my red mitten. I will find the dog. I will hurt the dog. I will make the dog give me my red mitten. I will be happy." + +And she ran out of the house. She looked for the dog. She found the dog. She threw a rock at the dog. The dog yelped and ran away. Anna chased the dog. She threw another rock at the dog. The dog fell and whimpered. Anna caught the dog. She grabbed the dog. She hit the dog. She kicked the dog. She screamed at the dog. She said, "Give me my red mitten. Give me my red mitten. Give me my red mitten." + +But the dog did not have the red mitten. The dog had swallowed the red mitten. The red mitten was in the dog's stomach. The dog could not give the red mitten. The dog could only bleed and cry. The dog was hurt and scared. The dog was dying. + +Anna did not see the blood. Anna did not hear the cry. Anna did not feel the pain. Anna only saw the red mitten. Anna only heard the red mitten. Anna only felt the red mitten. Anna was blind and deaf and numb. Anna was mad and cruel and evil. Anna was not a good girl. Anna was a bad girl. + +And then a car came. The car was fast and loud. The car did not see Anna. The car did not hear Anna. The car did not stop for Anna. The car hit Anna. Anna flew and crashed. Anna broke and died. + +And the red mitten was gone. The red mitten was never found. The red mitten was never bought. The red mitten was never worn. The red mitten was never loved. + +The end. +Anna likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She dances with her doll, her dog, and her friends. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. + +One day, Anna goes to a big place with many people. It is a dance show. Anna sees many dancers on a big stage. They wear pretty clothes and shoes. They jump, spin, and twist. They make music with their feet. Anna likes the music. She likes the dancers. She wants to dance too. + +Anna waits for a break. She runs to the stage. She dances with her doll. She jumps, spins, and twists. She makes music with her feet. She is happy. She does not see the people. She does not hear the noise. + +The people see Anna. They are surprised. They are amused. They are impressed. They make noise. They clap their hands. They applaud. Anna hears the noise. She sees the people. She is scared. She stops dancing. She drops her doll. She runs away. + +Anna trips. She falls. She hurts her knee. She cries. A nice lady comes to help her. She picks up Anna. She picks up the doll. She hugs Anna. She says, "You are a brave dancer. You are a good dancer. You are a star." She gives Anna a kiss. She gives Anna a sticker. She gives Anna a smile. + +Anna smiles. She feels better. She says, "Thank you." She hugs the lady. She hugs her doll. She looks at the people. They are still clapping. They are still applauding. They are happy. They like Anna. Anna likes them. She waves. She bows. She is proud. She is a star. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play near the sea. They saw a big boat with white sails and many windows. It was a yacht. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. + +"Let's sneak in when no one is looking," Ben said. He was brave and curious. + +"I don't know, Ben. It's not our boat. Maybe we will get in trouble," Lily said. She was nervous and careful. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the yacht and climbed the ladder. Lily followed him. She did not want to be alone. + +They went inside the yacht and saw many things. There were soft beds, shiny toys, and yummy food. They stared at everything with wide eyes. + +"Wow, this is so cool! Let's try some of the food," Ben said. He grabbed a cake and took a big bite. + +"No, Ben, stop! That's not ours. We should go back," Lily said. She felt bad and scared. + +But Ben did not listen. He ate more cake and then saw a button. He pushed it. + +Suddenly, the yacht started to move. It left the shore and went into the deep water. Lily and Ben heard a loud voice. + +"Who are you? What are you doing on my yacht?" It was the owner of the yacht. He was angry and mean. + +Lily and Ben were terrified. They tried to run away, but the owner caught them. He yelled at them and called the police. He said they were thieves and liars. + +Lily and Ben cried and wished they had never gone inside the yacht. They learned a hard lesson. They should have listened to their feelings and respected other people's things. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to imagine that they were on a big adventure. They found a well in the corner of the garden. It was old and covered with vines. + +"Let's pretend that this is a magic well," said Lily. "Maybe it can take us to a different world." + +"OK," said Tom. "But how do we get in?" + +Lily looked around and saw a bucket and a rope. She had an idea. "We can use this to go down the well. Come on, help me tie the rope to the bucket." + +They worked together and soon they had a bucket with a rope. Lily climbed into the bucket and held the rope. "Are you ready?" she asked Tom. + +Tom nodded and started to lower the bucket into the well. He was a little scared, but he wanted to see what was inside. He hoped it was something fun and exciting. + +But as the bucket went down, they heard a loud and grumpy voice. It sounded like it was coming from the well. It said, "Who is making all this noise? Go away and leave me alone!" + +Lily and Tom were shocked. They looked at each other and screamed. They did not want to meet the grumpy voice. They quickly pulled the rope and climbed out of the well. They ran away from the well and back to the house. + +They decided that they did not like the magic well. It was not fun and exciting. It was scary and rude. They never played near the well again. They found other things to imagine in the garden. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to travel with their mom and dad. They have a big car with four wheels. Sometimes they go to the park, or the zoo, or the beach. + +One day, they travel to the farm. They see cows, and pigs, and chickens. They also see a big tractor with big wheels. Sara and Ben want to ride the tractor. They ask their mom and dad. + +"Can we ride the tractor, please?" they say. + +Mom and dad shake their heads. "No, you can't. The tractor is not for children. It is for the farmer. He uses it to work on the field. It is too big and too loud for you." + +Sara and Ben are stubborn. They do not listen to their mom and dad. They sneak away from them and run to the tractor. They climb on the seat and try to start the engine. They push the buttons and pull the levers. + +The tractor makes a loud noise. It moves forward. Sara and Ben are scared. They do not know how to stop the tractor. They see the fence and the trees. They scream for help. + +Mom and dad hear them. They run to the tractor. They jump on the seat and turn off the engine. They hug Sara and Ben. They are angry and relieved. + +"You are very naughty!" they say. "You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You should never touch the tractor. It is dangerous. You should always listen to us. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They are sorry. They say sorry to their mom and dad. They also say sorry to the farmer. He is not happy. He tells them to stay away from his tractor. + +Sara and Ben learn their lesson. They do not touch the tractor again. They enjoy the rest of the day on the farm. They see the animals and the plants. They have fun with their mom and dad. They are not stubborn anymore. +Sam and Mia liked to play at the gym. They liked to climb on the bars, swing on the ropes and jump on the mats. They had a lot of fun with their friends. + +One day, they saw a big pile of boxes in the corner of the gym. They wondered what was inside. They decided to build a fort with the boxes. They took some boxes and stacked them up. They made a door and a window. They crawled inside and pretended to be soldiers. + +"Look at our fort!" Sam said. "It is the best fort ever!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia agreed. "No one can get us here!" + +But they did not know that the boxes were dangerous. They were full of heavy things that could fall and hurt them. The teacher saw them and ran to them. He was very worried. + +"Sam! Mia! Get out of there now!" he shouted. "Those boxes are not for playing! They are for moving! They could break and crush you!" + +Sam and Mia were scared. They did not know they were doing something bad. They quickly got out of the fort and ran to the teacher. He hugged them and checked if they were okay. + +"I'm sorry, teacher," Sam said. "We just wanted to build a fort." + +"We didn't know the boxes were dangerous," Mia said. "We won't do it again." + +The teacher smiled and said, "I'm glad you are safe. But you have to be careful when you play. You have to ask before you touch things that are not yours. And you have to listen to the rules. They are there to protect you and your friends." + +Sam and Mia nodded. They said sorry to the teacher and their friends. They learned their lesson. They never played with the boxes again. They still had fun at the gym, but they only used the things that were meant for playing. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they find a big map in the attic. The map has many colors and shapes. Sara points to a red shape and says, "This is east. It is far away from here." Ben nods and says, "Yes, east is where the sun comes up in the morning. I want to go there and see what it is like." + +They decide to pack some toys and snacks and go on an adventure. They put on their hats and shoes and walk out of the door. They follow the map and look for east. They see many things on the way: trees, flowers, birds, cars, people. They have fun and talk to each other. + +But after a while, they get tired and hungry. They look at the map and see that they are still far from east. They start to feel grumpy and sad. They miss their home and their mom and dad. They sit on a bench and cry. They say, "We are lost. We can't find east. We want to go back." + +Then, they hear a familiar voice. It is their mom. She has been looking for them. She sees them on the bench and runs to them. She says, "Sara, Ben, I'm so glad I found you. I was worried about you. Why did you leave without telling me?" Sara and Ben tell her about the map and the east. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to see east, but we got lost and scared. We don't want to go there anymore. We want to stay with you." + +Mom hugs them and says, "It's okay, my loves. I understand. You were curious and brave, but you also need to be careful and safe. East is a big place, and you are still small. Maybe we can go there together someday, when you are older and ready. But for now, let's go home and have some lunch. You must be hungry." Sara and Ben nod and smile. They hug mom and say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. You are the best." They hold her hand and walk back home. They are happy and warm. They forget about east and the map. They only think about their mom and their home. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a poppy. A poppy is a red flower. It is very pretty. + +"Look, a poppy!" Lily says. "Can we pick it?" + +"No, we can't," Sam says. "The poppy is not ours. It belongs to the park. We can feed it, though." + +"How can we feed a poppy?" Lily asks. + +"Easy," Sam says. "We can give it some water. Flowers need water to grow. Come on, I have a bottle." + +Sam takes out a bottle of water from his backpack. He pours some water on the poppy. The poppy looks happy. + +"Thank you for feeding me," the poppy says. "You are very kind." + +Lily and Sam are surprised. They did not know that poppies can talk. + +"You're welcome," they say. "You are very beautiful." + +They smile at the poppy. They are happy, too. They have made a new friend. +Tom and Lily love to go on holiday with their mum and dad. They pack their bags with toys, books and clothes. They get in the car and drive to the big boat. The big boat takes them to an island with sand and sun. + +On the island, Tom and Lily play on the beach. They make castles with sand and shells. They splash in the water and look for fish. They have a lot of fun. Sometimes they see a big bird in the sky. The big bird is mighty and loud. It makes Tom and Lily laugh. + +One day, Tom and Lily see a man on the beach. The man has a hat and a camera. He smiles and says hello. He asks if he can take a picture of Tom and Lily. Tom and Lily say yes. They stand next to each other and smile. The man says they are very cute. + +The man tells Tom and Lily that he is a reporter. He writes stories for a paper. He says he is on the island to write a story about the big bird. He says the big bird is a plane. He says the plane is very old and special. He says the plane is a holiday plane. It takes people on holiday to see the island. + +Tom and Lily are curious. They ask the man if they can see the plane. The man says yes. He takes them to a field where the plane is parked. The plane is red and white. It has a big propeller and a small window. The man says the plane is called Sally. He says Sally is his friend. + +Tom and Lily think Sally is amazing. They touch the plane and look inside. The man says they can sit in the plane and pretend to fly. Tom and Lily are very happy. They climb in the plane and put on the helmets. The man takes a picture of them. He says they are the best pilots he ever saw. Tom and Lily say thank you. They say they love the plane and the man. They say they love their holiday. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and dig. They were having fun, but they were also getting dirty and hungry. + +"Mom, can we have a snack?" Sara asked. + +"Yes, of course, my loves. But first, you need to wash your hands and faces. Come inside and use the sink," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom followed Mom into the kitchen. They saw a big bowl of fruit on the table. It looked yummy. They wanted to eat it right away. + +But Mom gave them each a towel and said, "No, no, not yet. You have to clean up first. Look at your hands and faces. They are full of dirt and mud. You don't want to eat that, do you?" + +Sara and Tom shook their heads. They did not want to eat dirt and mud. They wanted to eat fruit. They used the towels to wipe their hands and faces. They rubbed and scrubbed until they were clean. + +"Good job, Sara and Tom. You are very good at caring for yourselves. Now you can have some fruit. What do you want?" Mom asked. + +Sara and Tom looked at the bowl. They saw apples, bananas, oranges, and grapes. They all looked good. Sara picked an apple and Tom picked a banana. They thanked Mom and took a big bite. + +"Mmm, this is so good. I was very hungry," Sara said. + +"Me too. This is the best snack ever. Thank you, Mom," Tom said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She was happy to see them enjoy their snack. She was proud of them for caring for themselves. She loved them very much. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slides, and run on the grass. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, Anna's mom came to the park with a big surprise. She had a new baby in her arms. She said, "Anna, this is your little brother, Max. He is adorable, isn't he?" Anna looked at the baby. He was small and pink and had a lot of hair. He was making funny noises. Anna did not think he was adorable. She thought he was ugly and noisy. + +Anna's mom said, "Anna, you are a big sister now. You have a very important job. You have to help me take care of Max. You have to be gentle and kind to him. You have to share your toys and your time with him. Do you understand?" Anna nodded, but she did not understand. She did not want to share anything with Max. She wanted to play with Ben. + +Anna's mom said, "Come on, Anna. Let's go home. We have to feed Max and change his diaper. You can play with Ben another day." Anna did not want to go home. She wanted to stay in the park. She wanted to swing on the swings, slide on the slides, and run on the grass. She did not want to feed Max and change his diaper. She did not want to be a big sister. + +Anna started to cry. She said, "No, no, no! I don't want to go home! I don't want to help you! I don't want Max! I want Ben! I want to play!" Anna's mom tried to calm her down. She said, "Anna, don't be silly. You have to go home. You have to help me. You have to love Max. He is your brother. He is adorable." Anna did not listen. She screamed louder and louder. She kicked and hit her mom. She threw her toys on the ground. + +Ben watched Anna and her mom. He felt sad and scared. He did not like to see Anna cry and scream. He did not like to see her mom angry and hurt. He did not know what to do. He wanted to help Anna, but he did not know how. He wished Anna would stop crying and screaming. He wished Anna would be happy and friendly. He wished Anna would play with him. + +But Anna did not stop crying and screaming. Anna did not play with Ben. Anna and her mom left the park. Ben was alone. He felt lonely and bored. He did not have any fun. He did not swing on the swings, slide on the slides, or run on the grass. He sat on a bench and waited for his mom to come. He hoped Anna would come back tomorrow. He hoped Anna would be his best friend again. He hoped Anna would like Max. He hoped Max would be adorable. +Anna and Ben liked to play in the forest. They liked to look for animals and flowers and rocks. One day, they saw a big mushroom. It was red and white and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "Can we eat it?" + +Anna shook her head. "No, no, no. Mommy said some mushrooms are bad. They can make you sick or hurt you. We should not touch it." + +Ben frowned. He wanted to try the mushroom. It looked so yummy. He reached out his hand. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna said. She grabbed his arm and pulled him back. "I warn you, it is not good. Please listen to me. I am your sister. I love you." + +Ben looked at Anna. He saw her scared face. He felt her kind hand. He remembered Mommy's words. He nodded. "Okay, okay. I am sorry. I will not eat it. Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister. I love you too." + +Anna smiled. She hugged Ben. They decided to leave the mushroom alone. They went to find some berries instead. They were happy and safe. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a swing and a slide. One day, they saw a ladder leaning against the tree. They wanted to climb up and see what was on top. + +"Let's go up the ladder!" Tim said. + +"No, it's too high and scary!" Kim said. + +"Come on, don't be a baby!" Tim said. + +He started to climb the ladder, but Kim stayed on the ground. She watched him go higher and higher. She felt worried and sad. + +Tim reached the top of the ladder and saw a bird's nest with eggs. He was happy and curious. He wanted to touch the eggs. He reached out his hand, but then he heard a loud squawk. A big bird flew at him and pecked his head. Tim screamed and let go of the ladder. He fell down and landed on the grass. He hurt his arm and his head. + +Kim ran to him and hugged him. She cried and said, "Are you okay, Tim?" + +Tim cried and said, "No, I'm not okay. I'm hurt and scared. The bird was angry and mean." + +Kim said, "I'm sorry, Tim. You should have listened to me. The ladder was not safe and the bird was not friendly. You should not touch other animals' homes. They don't like it." + +Tim said, "You're right, Kim. I was wrong and silly. I should have chosen to play with you and not the ladder. I'm sorry for calling you a baby. You're a good sister." + +Kim said, "It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. You're a good brother. Let's go inside and get some help. Maybe Mom can make us some cookies and milk." + +They walked inside, holding hands. They were tired and sore, but they learned a lesson. They learned to be careful and respectful, and to listen to each other. They also learned to love each other more. +One day, a fisherman went to the lake with his son. He wanted to catch some fish for dinner. He gave his son a small rod and a bucket. "Be careful, son. Don't fall into the water. And don't touch the sharp hook," he said. + +The son nodded and smiled. He liked to go fishing with his dad. He threw his line into the water and waited. He looked at the blue sky and the green trees. He saw some ducks and frogs. He heard some birds and crickets. He felt the sun and the breeze. He was happy. + +But after a while, he got bored. He did not catch any fish. He did not see any fish. He did not feel any fish. He yawned. He was sleepy. He leaned on his dad's shoulder and closed his eyes. He said, "Dad, can we go home? I'm tired." + +The fisherman looked at his son and smiled. He hugged him and kissed his cheek. He said, "Sure, son. We can go home. You did a good job. Maybe next time we will catch some fish. But you know what? I don't need any fish. I have you. And you are my sweet boy." + +He packed his rod and his bucket. He lifted his son and carried him to the car. He drove home and tucked him into bed. He said, "Good night, son. I love you." He turned off the light and left the room. He yawned. He was sleepy too. He went to his bed and fell asleep. He dreamed of fish. +Tommy and Lily were playing in the bathroom. They liked to pretend they were pirates and mermaids. They used the shampoo bottles as treasure and the towels as sails. + +"Arrr, I am Captain Tommy, and this is my ship!" Tommy said, holding a blue shampoo bottle. "I have the most treasure in the sea!" + +"No, you don't!" Lily said, holding a pink shampoo bottle. "I am Princess Lily, and this is my palace! I have the most treasure in the land!" + +They started to argue and tug at each other's shampoo bottles. They did not see that their baby brother, Danny, had crawled into the bathroom. He was curious and wanted to play too. + +He saw a green shampoo bottle on the sink. He reached for it and grabbed it. He smiled and shook it. He liked the sound it made. He did not know that he had stolen the shampoo bottle from Tommy and Lily. + +"Hey, where is my green shampoo bottle?" Tommy asked, looking around. "It was right here!" + +"Maybe you lost it, Captain Tommy!" Lily teased. "Maybe a shark ate it!" + +Tommy was angry. He did not like to lose his treasure. He looked at Lily's pink shampoo bottle. He had an idea. He decided to steal it from her. + +He waited until she was not looking. Then he snatched it from her hand. He ran away with it. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily shouted. She saw Tommy running away with her shampoo bottle. She was angry too. She did not like to have her treasure stolen. She chased after him. + +They ran out of the bathroom, leaving Danny alone. He did not care. He was happy with his green shampoo bottle. He did not know that he had caused a problem. He was ignorant. He was just a baby. +Sam liked to play with boats. He had many boats of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them sail in the tub or in the pond. He dreamed of going to a big port one day, where he could see real boats and ships. + +One day, his dad said he had a surprise for him. He took him to the car and drove for a long time. Sam was curious and excited. He asked his dad where they were going. His dad said they were going to a port, a very big and popular port, where many boats and ships came and went. + +Sam could not believe his ears. He was so happy he hugged his dad. He thanked him for the surprise. He could not wait to see the port. He looked out the window and saw the water shining in the sun. He saw some boats and ships in the distance. He wondered what they were doing and where they were going. + +When they arrived at the port, Sam was amazed. He saw so many boats and ships of different shapes and colors. He saw big cranes and containers and people working. He saw flags and signs and noises. He wanted to see everything and learn everything. + +His dad took him to a small boat that was waiting for them. He said it was a tour boat that would take them around the port and show them the sights. He said it was a special treat for Sam, because he liked boats so much. He asked Sam if he wanted to go. Sam nodded eagerly. He accepted the offer. He climbed on the boat with his dad. He was ready for the adventure. He was sure it would be the best day ever. +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. Sara found a big bowl and a spoon. Ben found some flour and sugar. They poured some flour and sugar into the bowl. Then they looked for something wet to stir with. + +"Can we use milk?" Sara asked. + +"No, milk is for drinking," Ben said. "We need something else." + +They looked around and saw a bottle of rubber glue on the counter. It was shiny and sticky. + +"Let's use this!" Ben said. He grabbed the bottle and squeezed some glue into the bowl. + +Sara was not sure. She looked at the glue and the flour and the sugar. They did not look like a cake. + +"Are you sure?" Sara asked. + +"Yes, trust me," Ben said. "It will be a great cake. Come on, help me stir." + +Sara shrugged and took the spoon. She started to stir the bowl. The glue made the flour and the sugar stick together. It was hard to stir. The spoon got stuck in the bowl. + +"Uh-oh," Sara said. + +"What's wrong?" Ben asked. + +"The spoon is stuck," Sara said. She tried to pull the spoon out, but it did not move. + +Ben tried to help her, but he could not pull the spoon out either. The glue was too strong. + +They heard Mom coming down the stairs. They looked at each other with wide eyes. + +"Mom is coming!" Sara said. + +"What do we do?" Ben asked. + +They did not know what to do. They hid behind the table and hoped Mom would not see the bowl. + +But Mom saw the bowl. She saw the flour and the sugar and the glue. She saw the spoon stuck in the bowl. She saw Sara and Ben hiding behind the table. + +She was not happy. + +"Sara! Ben! What have you done?" Mom asked. + +Sara and Ben came out from behind the table. They looked at Mom with sad faces. + +"We wanted to make a cake for you," Sara said. + +"But we used the wrong thing," Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She was angry, but she was also sorry for them. She knew they wanted to be helpful. + +"That was very sweet of you, but very silly too," Mom said. "You can't use rubber glue to make a cake. It's not for eating. It's for sticking things together." + +"We're sorry, Mom," Sara and Ben said. + +Mom hugged them. She was not mad anymore. + +"It's okay, I forgive you," Mom said. "But next time, please ask me before you use anything in the kitchen. And let's clean up this mess together." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They helped Mom clean up the bowl and the spoon and the counter. They learned their lesson. They never used rubber glue to make a cake again. +Anna 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. Anna liked to introduce Lily to her other dolls and pretend they were friends. + +One day, Anna found a new doll in her room. It was a gift from her grandma. The doll had short hair, a blue dress and a button nose. Anna was happy to see the new doll. She picked it up and said, "Hello, doll. What is your name?" + +The doll did not answer. It looked grumpy. Anna tried again, "Do you want to play with me and Lily? We are very nice. I can introduce you to my other dolls." + +The doll still did not answer. It looked even more grumpy. Anna felt sad. She did not understand why the doll did not want to talk to her. She said, "Please, doll. Don't be grumpy. I want to be your friend." + +The doll finally spoke. It said, "My name is Ben. I don't like dolls. I don't like pink. I don't like playing. I only like buttons. Leave me alone." + +Anna was surprised. She did not know that some dolls did not like dolls. She did not know that some dolls only liked buttons. She did not know what to do. She said, "But, Ben, buttons are boring. Dolls are fun. You can have fun with us. Please, Ben, give us a chance." + +Ben looked at Anna. He saw that she was not mean. She was just curious. He felt a little sorry for being grumpy. He said, "Okay, Anna. I will give you a chance. But you have to give me a chance too. You have to let me show you why buttons are not boring. You have to let me teach you how to make button crafts." + +Anna smiled. She said, "Okay, Ben. I will give you a chance too. I will let you show me why buttons are not boring. I will let you teach me how to make button crafts. Maybe we can be friends after all." + +Ben smiled too. He said, "Maybe we can, Anna. Maybe we can." He reached out his hand and gave Anna a button. Anna took the button and gave Ben a hug. They decided to play together and introduce each other to their favorite things. They learned that they had more in common than they thought. They learned that being different was not bad. They learned that being friends was good. +Lily liked to whistle. She whistled when she played, when she ate, and when she went to bed. She whistled songs and sounds and words. She whistled all the time. + +But not everyone liked Lily's whistling. Her big brother Tom did not like it. He said it was too loud and too silly. He said it hurt his ears and his head. He said Lily should stop whistling. + +One day, Lily was whistling in the yard. She was whistling to the birds and the flowers and the sun. She was happy and having fun. But Tom was in his room, trying to read a book. He heard Lily's whistling and he got very mad. He ran to the yard and yelled at Lily. + +"Stop whistling, Lily! You are so annoying! You are ruining my day! Go away and be quiet!" + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not understand why Tom was so mean. She liked whistling and she did not mean to bother him. She thought whistling was harmless and nice. She started to cry. + +But then, something happened. A big dog came to the yard. It was not their dog. It was a stranger dog. It was big and black and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled and ran towards Lily and Tom. + +Lily and Tom were very afraid. They did not know what to do. They wanted to run away, but the dog was faster. They wanted to call for help, but no one was home. They felt trapped and in danger. + +But then, Lily had an idea. She remembered something she learned from a book. She remembered that some dogs do not like high sounds. She remembered that whistling was a high sound. She decided to try it. + +She took a deep breath and whistled as loud and as high as she could. She whistled like a siren, like a whistle, like a bird. She whistled with all her might. + +The dog heard Lily's whistling and stopped. It tilted its head and covered its ears. It looked confused and annoyed. It did not like Lily's whistling. It decided to leave. It turned around and ran away. + +Lily and Tom were safe. They hugged each other and sighed with relief. They were glad the dog was gone. They were glad they were okay. + +Tom looked at Lily and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You saved us. You are very brave and smart. I'm sorry I was mean to you. I don't mind your whistling. You can whistle whenever you want." + +Lily smiled back. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm sorry I bothered you. I don't want to make you mad. I just like to whistle. It makes me happy." + +They hugged again and went inside. They decided to share a snack and read a book together. They decided to be nice to each other. They decided to whistle a song together. They were happy and having fun. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to skip and run and swing. One day, they see a big red ball near the fence. Lily wants to play with the ball. Ben says no. + +"That is not our ball. That is someone else's ball. We should not touch it. We will get in trouble," Ben says. + +But Lily does not listen. She runs to the ball and kicks it. The ball flies over the fence and into the street. Lily and Ben hear a loud honk. A car stops and a man gets out. He is angry. He picks up the ball and walks to the fence. + +"Who did this? Who kicked my ball?" the man shouts. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They hide behind a tree. They do not want the man to see them. They do not want to get in trouble. + +"Sorry, mister. It was me. I kicked your ball. I did not mean to. I just wanted to play," a voice says. + +Lily and Ben look out. They see Sam, another friend from the park. He is standing in front of the fence. He is holding his own ball. He gives his ball to the man. + +"Here, you can have my ball. It is nice and new. I hope you like it," Sam says. + +The man looks at Sam. He looks at the ball. He smiles. + +"Thank you, kid. That is very nice of you. You are a good boy. Here, you can have my ball. It is old and dirty, but it still bounces. I hope you like it," the man says. + +He gives his ball to Sam. He gets in his car and drives away. Sam waves to him. He walks to the tree.

Lily did not know what it was, but she thought it looked pretty. She wanted to use it for her doll. She thought Anna would like to have a green necklace. + +Lily took the bottle and opened it. It smelled bad, but she did not care. She poured some of the liquid on a string and tied it around Anna's neck. She smiled and said, "You look amazing, Anna!" + +But then, something bad happened.

Tom says goodbye to the little girl and gives her a hug. She says goodbye and gives him a picture she drew for him. It is a picture of a tree with a star on top. Tom likes it very much and says it is beautiful. He puts it in his pocket and gets in the truck with his dad. They drive back to the big place where they have many trees. Tom tells his dad about his new friend and shows him the picture. His dad says he is proud of him and that he did a good job. Tom feels happy and hugs his dad. He thinks delivering trees is fun. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play at the shore. The shore is where the water and the sand meet. Sometimes they make castles with the sand. Sometimes they look for shells and rocks. Sometimes they splash in the water. + +One day, they see a big boat on the water. The boat has a flag and a sail. It looks great. They wonder who is on the boat and where it is going. + +"Let's sing to the boat!" Lily says. "Maybe they will hear us and wave to us." + +"Okay!" Tom says. "What song should we sing?" + +They think for a moment. Then they remember a song they learned at school. It is about a boat and a star. They start to sing: + +"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, +How I wonder what you are. +Up above the world so high, +Like a diamond in the sky. +Twinkle, twinkle, little star, +How I wonder what you are." + +They sing very loud and very clear. They hope the boat will hear them and like their song. + +They sing and sing until the boat is very far away. Then they stop and look at each other. They smile and hug. + +"That was fun!" Lily says. "Do you think they heard us?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "But I think they would like our song. It is a great song." + +They agree. They are happy. They go back to playing at the shore. They have a great day. +Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress them up. One day, they found a new doll in the toy box. It was very pretty and had a pink dress and shoes. + +"Wow, look at this doll!" Sara said. "She is so nice. Can I play with her?" + +"Me too, me too!" Lily said. "I want to play with her too. She is so cute." + +They both reached for the doll and tried to grab her. But they pulled too hard and the doll fell on the floor. Her dress ripped and her shoes came off. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Lily cried. "We broke the doll! What will we do?" + +They looked at each other and felt sad and sorry. They did not want to fight over the doll. They wanted to share and have fun. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Lily said. "I should not have grabbed the doll. You saw her first. You can play with her." + +"No, I'm sorry, Lily," Sara said. "I should not have grabbed the doll either. You liked her too. You can play with her." + +They hugged and said they were sorry. Then they picked up the doll and fixed her dress and shoes. They decided to take turns playing with her and give her a name. + +"Let's call her Rosie," Sara said. "She is pink and pretty like a rose." + +"OK, Rosie it is," Lily said. "She is dependable and sweet like a friend." + +They smiled and played with Rosie. They were happy and they learned to share. Sara and Lily were best friends. +Lily liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Lily loved to mix and stir and taste the dough. One day, they decided to bake a big cake for dad's birthday. + +They went to the store to buy some eggs. But when they got there, they saw something strange. There was a big bird in the store. It had a long neck and long legs and big feathers. It was an ostrich. The ostrich was curious. It looked at everything in the store. It pecked at the fruits and the bread and the cheese. It made a big mess. + +"Mom, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"That is an ostrich, Lily. It is a bird that lives in far away places. I don't know how it got here. Maybe it escaped from the zoo," mom said. + +"Can we take it home?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily. We can't take it home. It is not a pet. It is a wild animal. It belongs in its own home. Besides, we need to buy some eggs for our cake," mom said. + +But the ostrich saw Lily and mom. It was curious about them too. It followed them to the egg section. It reached out its neck and grabbed a carton of eggs. It ran away with the eggs. + +"Hey, stop! Those are our eggs!" mom shouted. + +"Mom, the ostrich took our eggs!" Lily cried. + +They chased the ostrich around the store. The ostrich was fast and smart. It dodged and ducked and hid behind the shelves. It dropped some eggs on the floor. They cracked and splattered. The store was full of noise and chaos. + +Finally, they cornered the ostrich near the exit. Mom grabbed the carton of eggs from its beak. Lily helped her hold it. The ostrich squawked and flapped its wings. It was angry and scared. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay. We don't want to hurt you. We just want our eggs back. You can't have them. They are not for you. They are for our cake," mom said. + +She tried to calm the ostrich down. She stroked its feathers and spoke softly. The ostrich calmed down a little. It looked at mom and Lily. It seemed to understand. + +"Sorry, ostrich. We didn't mean to make you mad. You are a very curious bird. But you can't take things that are not yours. You have to ask first. And you have to be careful. You can't make a mess in the store. You have to be polite and nice," Lily said. + +She gave the ostrich a hug. The ostrich hugged her back. It seemed to say sorry too. + +Then, the store manager came. He was not happy. He saw the mess and the broken eggs and the ostrich. He called the zoo. They came and took the ostrich away. They said they would take good care of it and find out how it escaped. + +Lily and mom said goodbye to the ostrich. They hoped it would be happy in its home. They paid for the eggs and left the store. They went home and baked the cake. It was delicious. Dad was very happy. He thanked them for the cake and the surprise. He said it was the best birthday ever. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and make up stories. One day, they decided to display their toys in the living room. They put their dolls, cars, blocks and animals on the sofa, the table, the floor and the shelves. They were very proud of their display. + +"Look, Mommy, look!" Lily shouted. "We made a display of our toys!" + +Mommy came to see. She smiled and said, "Wow, that's very nice, Lily and Ben. But you know what? It's almost time for dinner. And we have guests coming over. So you need to clean up your display and put your toys away." + +Lily and Ben did not like that. They wanted to keep their display. They worked hard on it. They thought it was beautiful. They did not want to share it with anyone. + +"No, Mommy, no!" Ben cried. "We want to keep our display!" + +"Please, Mommy, please!" Lily begged. "Can we keep it for a little longer?" + +Mommy shook her head. She said, "I'm sorry, kids, but you have to clean up. It's not polite to leave your toys everywhere when we have guests. And you need to eat your dinner. Come on, I'll help you." + +Mommy started to pick up some toys and put them in a basket. Lily and Ben did not like that. They ran to their display and tried to stop Mommy. They grabbed their toys and held them tight. They said, "No, no, no!" + +Mommy sighed. She said, "Kids, don't be silly. It's just a display. You can make another one tomorrow. But right now, you have to clean up. It's the rule." + +Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept holding their toys and saying, "No, no, no!" They did not see the door open. They did not see the guests come in. They did not see the big dog that followed them. + +The dog was playful. He liked to chase things. He saw the toys on the floor. He thought they were for him. He ran to the toys and started to bite them and shake them. He made a lot of noise. + +Lily and Ben heard the noise. They turned around and saw the dog. They saw their toys in his mouth. They saw their display ruined. They were very sad and scared. They dropped their toys and ran to Mommy. They said, "Mommy, Mommy, help!" + +Mommy hugged them and said, "It's okay, kids, it's okay. The dog didn't mean to hurt your toys. He was just playful. He didn't know they were yours. But look, he's sorry. He's wagging his tail. He wants to be your friend." + +Lily and Ben looked at the dog. He did look sorry. He did wag his tail. He did look friendly. They felt a little better. They said, "It's okay, doggy, it's okay. We forgive you. But please don't touch our toys again." + +The dog licked their faces and said, "Woof, woof, woof!" + +Lily and Ben laughed. They said, "We like you, doggy, we like you. But we still love our toys. Can we play with them and you?" + +The dog said, "Woof, woof, woof!" + +Mommy said, "Of course you can, kids, of course you can. But first, let's clean up the mess. And then, let's eat some dinner. And then, let's play with the dog and the toys. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben said, "That sounds good, Mommy, that sounds good. We're sorry we were naughty. We'll follow the rule. We'll clean up our display. And then, we'll have some fun." + +Mommy said, "That's great, kids, that's great. I'm proud of you. You're very good kids. And you have very nice toys. And you have a new friend. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. The guests are waiting. And the food is ready. And the dog is hungry." + +Lily and Ben said, "Okay, Mommy, okay. Let's go, let's go. Come on, doggy, come on. Let's exit the living room. And let's have a good time." +Lily and Max were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big purple slide. She thought Max might be hiding behind it. She ran to the slide and shouted, "Max, I found you!" + +But there was no answer. Only silence. Lily felt confused. Where was Max? She stepped around the slide and looked behind it. There was no one there. She stepped back and looked at the slide again. She saw something shiny on the top. It was Max's watch. He had left it there as a clue. + +Lily smiled. She knew what to do. She climbed up the slide and looked around. She saw a big tree with purple flowers. She thought Max might be hiding in the tree. She slid down the slide and ran to the tree. She shouted, "Max, I found you!" + +But there was no answer. Only silence. Lily felt annoyed. Where was Max? She stepped around the tree and looked up. She saw a pair of purple shoes hanging from a branch. It was Max's shoes. He had left them there as a clue. + +Lily laughed. She knew what to do. She climbed up the tree and looked around. She saw a purple hat on the ground. It was Max's hat. He had left it there as a clue. + +Lily jumped down from the tree and picked up the hat. She looked around and saw a purple tent. She thought Max might be hiding in the tent. She ran to the tent and shouted, "Max, I found you!" + +But there was no answer. Only silence. Lily felt angry. Where was Max? She stepped into the tent and looked around. She saw a purple pillow. She lifted the pillow and saw Max's face. He was smiling. + +"Boo!" he said. + +Lily screamed. Then she laughed. She hugged Max and said, "You are a good hider, Max. But I am a better seeker. I found you!" + +Max hugged Lily and said, "You are a smart seeker, Lily. But I am a fun hider. I left you clues!" + +They both laughed and decided to play again. They liked playing hide and seek in the park. They liked the purple things. They liked each other. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pond with icy water. They wanted to slide on the ice and have fun. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go to the pond!" Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, but be careful. The ice might break," Lily said. + +They ran to the pond and put on their boots. They stepped on the ice and started to slide. They laughed and shouted. They felt happy. + +But then, they heard a loud sound. CRACK! The ice broke under their feet. They fell into the icy water. They screamed and cried. They were cold and scared. + +"Help! Help!" Ben and Lily called. + +But no one heard them. They were too far from their house. They tried to swim to the edge of the pond, but the water was too deep and too icy. They could not separate from each other. They held hands and prayed. + +But it was too late. The icy water took their breath away. They closed their eyes and sank to the bottom of the pond. They never played outside again. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They see a big iron gate. It is shiny and smooth. + +"Can we touch it?" Lily asks. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be hot or sharp," Tom says. + +They walk to the gate and reach out their hands. Tom feels the iron. It is cold and hard. He likes how it feels. + +Lily feels the iron too. But she does not like it. It is too cold and hard for her. She pulls her hand away. + +"Ouch! It hurts!" she cries. + +Tom looks at her hand. He sees a red mark. The iron has a pointy edge. It has cut Lily's hand. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't see the pointy edge. Are you OK?" he asks. + +Lily nods. She is brave. But she is also sad. + +"I don't like the iron gate. It is not nice. It is mean," she says. + +Tom hugs her. He is sorry. He wants to make her feel better. + +"Let's go back to the house. Mom can put a band-aid on your hand. Then we can play with something else. Something soft and nice. Like your teddy bear," he says. + +Lily smiles. She likes her teddy bear. It is soft and nice. It does not hurt her. + +"OK, Tom. Let's go. Thank you for being my friend," she says. + +They hold hands and walk back to the house. They leave the iron gate behind. They do not want to play with it anymore. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with a ball in the park. They kick the ball to each other and laugh. They are happy. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He has a mean face and a loud voice. He sees Tom and Sam playing with the ball. He wants the ball. He runs to them and says, "Give me the ball, or I will hurt you!" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They do not want to give the ball. They say, "No, this is our ball. Go away!" The big boy gets angry. He kicks Tom in the leg and grabs the ball. He runs away with the ball. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They cry. They have no ball to play with. They go home. On the way home, they see a sock on the ground. It is dirty and smelly. Sam picks it up and says, "Look, a sock! Maybe we can play with it." + +Tom says, "No, that is a bad sock. It is not a ball. It is not fun. It is not tasty. Throw it away!" Sam does not listen. He puts the sock in his mouth and says, "Mmm, tasty!" He chews the sock. + +Tom is shocked. He says, "Sam, stop! That is a bad sock. It is not food. It is not good for you. Spit it out!" Sam does not listen. He swallows the sock. + +Tom is worried. He says, "Sam, are you okay? Do you feel sick?" Sam does not answer. He falls to the ground. He does not move. He does not breathe. He is dead. + +Tom is alone. He is very sad. He cries. He has no friend to play with. He has no ball to play with. He has nothing. He wishes he never saw the sock. He wishes the big boy never came to the park. He wishes Sam was alive. He wishes he could kick the ball with Sam and laugh. He wishes he could be happy. +Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big ball on the grass. It has many colors and shapes on it. + +"What is this?" Mia asks. + +"It is earth," Ben says. "My dad teach me. Earth is where we live. It has water and land and animals and people." + +"Wow, earth is pretty," Mia says. She points to a blue part. "Is this water?" + +"Yes, this is water. Water is wet and cold and good to drink," Ben says. + +He points to a green part. "Is this land?" + +"Yes, this is land. Land is dry and hard and good to grow plants," Ben says. + +He points to a brown part. "Is this chocolate?" + +Mia laughs. "No, this is not chocolate. Chocolate is yummy and sweet and good to eat. This is dirt. Dirt is not yummy. Dirt is dirty and yucky and bad to eat." + +"Oops, sorry," Ben says. "I like chocolate too. Do you want to share some?" + +"Yes, please," Mia says. They put the earth ball back on the grass and run to the bench. Ben's mom has a big bag of chocolate. She gives them each a piece. + +"Thank you, mom," Ben says. + +"Thank you, Ben's mom," Mia says. + +They eat the chocolate and smile. Chocolate is yummy. Earth is pretty. Mia and Ben are happy. +Mia was a brilliant young girl who loved to read and learn new things. She had many books in her room and liked to share them with her friends. One day, she brought her favorite book to school. It was about dinosaurs and had many pictures and facts. + +At recess, she showed her book to Ben, who was also interested in dinosaurs. They sat on a bench and looked at the pages together. Mia told Ben the names and features of each dinosaur. Ben listened and nodded. He thought Mia was very smart and kind. + +But then, Sam, a mean boy, came over and snatched the book from Mia's hands. He laughed and said, "What is this? A baby book? Dinosaurs are for babies. You are a baby, Mia. And you are embarrassing yourself with this book." + +Mia felt very sad and angry. She wanted her book back. She tried to grab it from Sam, but he was bigger and stronger. He held the book high and ran away. Mia started to cry. Ben felt sorry for Mia and angry at Sam. He said, "Don't listen to him, Mia. He is a bully. He doesn't know anything. Dinosaurs are not for babies. They are for brilliant young people like you and me. You are not embarrassing yourself. You are amazing." + +He hugged Mia and wiped her tears. He said, "Come on, let's go to the teacher and tell her what Sam did. Maybe she can get your book back. And then we can read it together again. OK?" + +Mia nodded and smiled. She felt better. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. And you are brilliant too." + +They held hands and walked to the teacher. Sam saw them and felt scared. He knew he was in trouble. He wished he had not been so mean to Mia and her book. He felt embarrassed. +Lily and Max were bored. They wanted to play, but it was too cold outside. The snow was icy and the wind was loud. They asked their mom if they could go to the attic. Mom said yes, but be careful. There are many old things in the attic. Don't break anything. + +Lily and Max climbed the stairs to the attic. They saw a big box with a label. It said "Toys". They opened the box and found many toys. There were dolls, cars, books, puzzles, and more. They were happy. They started to play with the toys. + +Lily picked up a doll. She said, "This is my doll. She is pretty. She has a pink dress and a bow." Max said, "No, this is my doll. I remember her. She was my favorite. She has a button that makes her talk." Lily said, "No, she is mine. Give her to me." Max said, "No, she is mine. Let go of her." They pulled the doll from each other. They were angry. + +The doll broke. The button fell off. The dress ripped. The bow flew away. The doll did not talk anymore. Lily and Max were sad. They looked at the broken doll. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, doll. We did not mean to break you. We were selfish. We should have shared you." + +They hugged each other. They said, "We are sorry, too. We should not have fought. We are brother and sister. We love each other. We have many toys. We can play with them together." They put the broken doll back in the box. They picked up another toy. They played with it nicely. They had fun. + +Mom came to the attic. She saw Lily and Max playing. She smiled. She said, "I'm glad you are having fun. Did you find anything interesting in the box?" Lily and Max said, "Yes, we found a doll. She was broken. We broke her. We are sorry." Mom said, "It's okay. I remember that doll. She was mine when I was a little girl. She was old and fragile. She was not very important. What is important is that you learned to share and to be kind. That is the best toy you can have." Lily and Max nodded. They hugged Mom. They said, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for the toys. And thank you for the lesson." Mom said, "I love you, too. You are welcome. And you are welcome for the lesson." They all laughed. They went downstairs. They had hot chocolate. They were happy. The end. +Lily liked to visit her aunt. Her aunt had a big house with many rooms. Lily liked to explore the rooms and find new things. One day, she found a big box in the attic. She opened the box and saw many shiny things inside. + +"What are these, aunt?" Lily asked, holding a smooth necklace. + +"Those are jewels, Lily. They are very pretty and very old. They belonged to my grandma, and her grandma before her. They are very special to me," her aunt said, smiling. + +"Can I try them on, aunt?" Lily asked, putting the necklace around her neck. + +"Of course, Lily. But be careful. They are very fragile and very valuable. Don't move them too much or they might break," her aunt said, helping Lily with the clasp. + +Lily felt like a princess. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw how the jewels sparkled. She wanted to show them to everyone. She ran down the stairs, calling for her mom and dad. + +"Look at me, look at me!" Lily shouted, waving her arms. + +But as she moved, the necklace came loose and fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces. Lily gasped and started to cry. + +"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Lily sobbed, picking up the broken jewels. + +Her aunt came running and saw what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's okay. It was an accident. I'm not mad at you. I still love you." + +"Really, aunt?" Lily asked, looking up at her. + +"Really, Lily. You are more precious to me than any jewel. And we can fix the necklace. It's not the end of the world," her aunt said, wiping Lily's tears. + +Lily smiled and hugged her aunt back. She was glad her aunt was so nice and forgiving. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that some things are more important than others. And she learned to be more careful with things that are not hers. +Sam was a boy who liked to make lemonade. He had a big jar of lemons, a jug of water, and a spoon of sugar. He squeezed the lemons with his hands and poured the juice into the water. He added the sugar and stirred it well. He tasted his lemonade and smiled. It was sweet and sour, just how he liked it. + +He wanted to share his lemonade with his friend Tom, who lived next door. He filled two cups with his lemonade and went outside. He saw Tom playing with his ball in the yard. He called him, "Hey, Tom, do you want some lemonade? I made it myself!" + +Tom looked at Sam and his cups. He was curious. He liked lemonade, too. He said, "Sure, Sam, thank you. That's very nice of you." He put down his ball and walked over to Sam. He took one of the cups and drank a sip. + +But Tom did not smile. He made a face. He spat out the lemonade and said, "Yuck! This is awful! This is the most sour lemonade I ever had! How can you drink this? It hurts my tongue!" + +Sam was hurt and confused. He did not understand why Tom did not like his lemonade. He thought it was good. He said, "But, Tom, I made it with lemons and sugar and water. It's supposed to be sour. That's what lemonade is. Don't you like sour things?" + +Tom shook his head. He did not like sour things. He liked sweet things. He said, "No, Sam, I don't like sour things. I like sweet things. You should have put more sugar in your lemonade. Or better yet, you should have used oranges instead of lemons. Oranges are sweet and yummy. Lemons are sour and yucky. You don't know how to make lemonade. You're a bad lemonade maker." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He did not like what Tom said. He thought Tom was mean and rude. He said, "No, Tom, you're wrong. You don't know how to taste lemonade. You're a bad lemonade taster. You're a bad friend. You don't encourage me. You make fun of me. You're not nice. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +He took back his cup from Tom and poured the lemonade on the ground. He turned around and ran back to his house. He slammed the door behind him. He did not want to see Tom ever again. He cried in his room. He wished he had a better friend who liked his lemonade. He wished he had a friend who encouraged him. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big bell on a tower. They wanted to ring it. + +"Let's go and ring the bell!" Sara said. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet. Mom said not to make too much noise." Ben said. + +They ran to the tower and climbed the stairs. They reached the bell and pulled the rope. The bell made a loud sound. DONG! DONG! DONG! + +They laughed and pulled the rope again. DONG! DONG! DONG! + +Suddenly, they heard a voice. It was Mom. + +"Sara! Ben! What are you doing? You are making too much noise! Come down right now!" Mom shouted. + +Sara and Ben stopped pulling the rope. They looked at each other. They felt scared. They had broken the rule. + +They ran down the stairs and saw Mom. She looked angry. + +"Sara and Ben, you are in trouble. You were not supposed to ring the bell. You disturbed the people in the park. You were very wild. You have to say sorry." Mom said. + +Sara and Ben felt sorry. They knew they had done something bad. + +"Sorry, Mom. We just wanted to have fun. We didn't mean to be wild." Sara said. + +"Sorry, Mom. We didn't think about the people. We were curious about the bell." Ben said. + +Mom looked at them. She saw that they were sincere. She sighed and hugged them. + +"I forgive you, Sara and Ben. I know you are good kids. But you have to be more careful next time. The bell is not a toy. It is for special occasions. You have to respect the rules and the people." Mom said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They said thank you to Mom and gave her a kiss. They went back to play, but this time, they were more quiet and gentle. They still had fun, but they also had manners. +Tim and Jen like to play with their toys. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. But today it is raining. They cannot go outside. They are sad. + +Mom says, "Do not be sad. You can stay inside and have fun. Look, I have jam and bread. You can make jam sandwiches. Do you like jam?" + +Tim and Jen nod. They like jam. It is sweet and sticky. They go to the kitchen. Mom gives them bread and jam. They spread the jam on the bread. They make four sandwiches. Two for Tim and two for Jen. + +They eat their sandwiches. They are yummy. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +Mom smiles. She says, "You are welcome. Now you can play with your toys. Or you can read a book. Or you can draw a picture. There are many things you can do inside." + +Tim and Jen think. They do not want to play with their toys. They are dull. They play with them every day. They do not want to read a book. They read them yesterday. They do not want to draw a picture. They have no crayons. + +They say, "Mom, we are bored. We want to go outside. We want to see the sun and the sky and the grass and the flowers." + +Mom says, "I know, my loves. But it is raining. You cannot go outside. You have to stay inside. It is safe and warm and dry. Maybe the rain will stop soon. Then you can go outside and play." + +Tim and Jen sigh. They hope the rain will stop soon. They look out the window. They see the rain and the clouds and the puddles and the mud. They are dull. They wish they had something fun to do. +Anna and Ben are twins. They live in a warm place. They have never seen snow. One day, their mom tells them they are going to visit their grandma in a cold place. There, they will see snow for the first time. + +"What is snow, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Snow is white and soft and cold. It falls from the sky when it is very cold. You can play with it and make snowmen and snowballs and snow angels," mom explains. + +"Wow, that sounds fun!" Ben says. + +They pack their bags and get on a plane. They fly for a long time. They look out the window and see white everywhere. They land and get off the plane. They feel the cold air on their faces. They see snowflakes falling. They run to their grandma, who hugs them and gives them warm coats and hats and gloves. + +"Welcome to my home, my sweeties! I have a surprise for you. Come with me," grandma says. + +She takes them to the kitchen, where she has a big bowl of snow. She adds some sugar and some juice and some milk and stirs it well. + +"This is snow cream. It is a tasty treat that I used to make when I was a little girl. Do you want to try some?" grandma asks. + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben say. + +They take a spoon and taste the snow cream. It is sweet and cold and creamy. They smile and say, "Mmm, this is yummy!" + +They eat the snow cream and thank their grandma. Then they go outside and play with the snow. They make a snowman and a snowball and a snow angel. They have a lot of fun. They love snow. They love their grandma. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing a game. They have to throw a ball into a basket. Anna is good at throwing. Ben is not. He misses a lot. Anna gets more points than Ben. + +"Anna, you win!" Ben says. "You are better than me." + +Anna smiles. She likes to win. She likes to watch Ben try. He is stubborn. He does not give up. He throws and throws and throws. + +"Thank you, Ben," Anna says. "But you are good too. You are brave and strong. You can do it." + +Anna gives Ben a hug. She gives him the ball. She lets him try again. She cheers for him. She wants him to have a victory too. + +Ben throws the ball. It flies in the air. It lands in the basket. Ben jumps and claps. He is happy. He has a victory. + +"Anna, I did it!" Ben says. "I made a point!" + +Anna claps too. She is happy for Ben. She watches him smile. She thinks he is a good friend. + +They high-five each other. They play some more. They have fun. They share the ball and the basket and the victory. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, Tim brings a new car to school. It is big and red and shiny. Sam wants to play with it, but Tim says no. + +"That is my car. I own it. You cannot touch it," Tim says. + +Sam feels sad and angry. He thinks Tim is mean. He waits until Tim is not looking. Then he grabs the car and runs away. He wants to have the car for himself. + +But Tim sees him and chases him. He shouts, "Give me back my car! You are a bad friend!" + +Sam runs faster, but he trips and falls. The car flies out of his hands and hits a rock. It breaks into pieces. Sam and Tim both cry. + +A teacher comes and sees what happened. She asks, "What is going on here?" + +Sam feels ashamed. He knows he did something wrong. He says, "I am sorry, Tim. I took your car without asking. I broke it. I was selfish." + +Tim feels ashamed too. He knows he was not nice. He says, "I am sorry, Sam. I did not share my car with you. I was greedy." + +The teacher says, "I am glad you are sorry. But sorry is not enough. You need to make up for what you did. How can you do that?" + +Sam thinks. He says, "I have a truck at home. It is blue and yellow and strong. I can give it to Tim. Maybe he will like it." + +Tim thinks. He says, "I have some money in my piggy bank. I can use it to buy a new car. Maybe I can find one like Sam's." + +The teacher smiles. She says, "That is a good start. But you also need to be kind to each other. Can you do that?" + +Sam and Tim nod. They say, "Yes, we can. We are friends." + +They hug and say sorry again. Then they go to play with their toys. They share and take turns. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to gather leaves and make piles. They had red leaves, yellow leaves, and brown leaves. They had fun throwing the leaves in the air and catching them. + +"Look, the sun is going down!" Ben said. He pointed to the sky. It was orange and pink and purple. "It is a sunset. It is pretty." + +Anna nodded. She liked the sunset too. It was gentle and warm. She wanted to watch it more. But Ben had an idea. + +"Let's make a big leaf pile and jump in it!" he said. He ran to the leaves and started to gather more. He wanted to make the biggest pile ever. + +Anna followed him. She helped him gather leaves. But she also looked at the sunset. She did not want to miss it. She wanted to see the colors change. + +"Come on, Anna, hurry up!" Ben said. He was almost done with his pile. He was excited to jump in it. + +"But Ben, the sunset is almost gone!" Anna said. She was sad. She wanted to enjoy it more. + +"Who cares about the sunset? We can see it every day. But we can't play with the leaves every day. They will be gone soon. Come on, jump with me!" Ben said. He did not understand why Anna liked the sunset so much. + +Anna felt torn. She liked Ben and she liked to play with him. But she also liked the sunset and she wanted to see it more. She did not know what to do. + +She looked at Ben. He was smiling and waving at her. He looked happy. She looked at the sunset. It was fading and getting darker. It looked beautiful. She had to make a choice. + +What do you think Anna did? What would you do? What is the moral of the story? +Lila was a little girl who liked to whistle. She whistled when she played, when she ate, and when she went to bed. She whistled so much that her mom and dad sometimes asked her to be quiet. + +One day, Lila went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide and ran to it. She whistled as she climbed up and slid down. She had fun. Then she saw a fox in the bushes. She thought the fox was interesting. She wanted to see it better. She whistled to the fox. + +The fox heard Lila's whistle and came out of the bushes. He saw Lila and smiled. He thought Lila was interesting. He wanted to play with her. He whistled back to Lila. + +Lila was happy. She thought the fox was friendly. She ran to the fox and hugged him. The fox was surprised. He did not want a hug. He wanted a bite. He opened his mouth and showed his teeth. + +Lila was scared. She saw the fox's teeth and realized he was not friendly. He was hungry. She screamed and let go of the fox. She ran to her mom and cried. + +Her mom hugged her and comforted her. She told her that the fox was not a good friend. He was a wild animal. She told her that she should not whistle to strangers. She should only whistle to people she knew and trusted. + +Lila learned her lesson. She was sorry for whistling to the fox. She was glad her mom was there to save her. She decided to be more careful and listen to her mom and dad. She still liked to whistle, but only when it was safe and polite. +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a doll. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He is mean. He takes Tim's ball and Lily's doll. He says they are his now. He does not share. He laughs at Tim and Lily. They are sad and angry. + +Tim and Lily want their toys back. They go to the big boy and talk to him. They say, "Please give us our toys. They are ours. You are not nice. You make us feel bad." + +The big boy does not listen. He says, "No, they are mine. You are silly. Go away." He pushes Tim and Lily. They fall on the grass. They cry. + +A lady sees what happens. She is a teacher. She works in the park. She is kind and smart. She goes to the big boy and talks to him. She says, "Why are you doing this? You are hurting Tim and Lily. They are your friends. You should share and play with them. That is peace. Peace is good. Peace makes everyone happy." + +The big boy looks at the lady. He feels sorry. He says, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I was bored and lonely. I wanted to play, but I did not know how. I was mean to Tim and Lily. I will give them their toys back. I will say sorry to them. I will ask them to play with me. Can we be friends?" + +The lady smiles. She says, "Yes, you can be friends. That is a good idea. Tim and Lily are eager to play with you. They are nice and fun. They will forgive you. They will teach you how to share and play. Come, let's go to them and make peace." + +The big boy nods. He feels happy. He goes to Tim and Lily and gives them their toys. He says, "I am sorry. I was mean to you. I want to be your friend. Can we play together?" + +Tim and Lily look at the big boy. They see he is sorry. They are kind. They say, "Yes, we can be your friend. We can play together. Thank you for giving us our toys. We are sorry we were angry. Let's make peace." + +They hug and smile. They play with the ball, the bike and the doll. They share and have fun. The lady watches them. She is proud. She says, "Well done, children. You have learned a big lesson. You have learned how to talk, how to share, and how to make peace. You are good friends. You are happy." +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big orange balloon in the sky. It is very pretty. + +"Look, Anna, a balloon!" Tom says. + +"I want it, Tom. Can we get it?" Anna asks. + +They run after the balloon. They want to catch it. But the balloon is too high. It rises more and more. Tom and Anna cannot reach it. + +They see a man with a string. The string is tied to the balloon. The man is bad. He laughs at Tom and Anna. + +"Ha ha, this is my balloon. You cannot have it. Go away, you silly kids!" the man says. + +Tom and Anna are sad. They do not like the man. They think he is mean. + +"Tom, what can we do?" Anna says. + +Tom thinks hard. He has an idea. + +"Anna, I have a plan. Follow me," Tom says. + +They sneak behind the man. They wait for the right moment. Then, they grab the string. They pull it hard. The balloon comes down. The man is surprised. He tries to hold the string. But he is too late. Tom and Anna run away with the balloon. They are happy. They have the balloon. + +"Yay, we did it, Anna! We have the balloon!" Tom says. + +"Yay, we are smart, Tom! We have the balloon!" Anna says. + +They hug each other. They play with the balloon. They do not care about the man. He is bad. He does not deserve the balloon. Tom and Anna are good. They deserve the balloon. They are friends. They share the balloon. They have fun. The end. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over who has more. One day, they are in the bath. They have shampoo to wash their hair. Lily wants to use the shampoo first. She says, "I have more hair than you. I need more shampoo." + +Ben is jealous. He says, "No, you don't. I have more hair than you. Let me count." He tries to count the hairs on Lily's head. But they are too many and too wet. He gets shampoo in his eyes. He cries, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" + +Lily feels sorry for Ben. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to make you jealous. Here, you can have the shampoo. I'll help you wash your eyes." She gives him the shampoo and rinses his eyes with water. Ben says, "Thank you, Lily. I'm sorry, too. I didn't mean to count your hair. You can have the shampoo back." + +They share the shampoo and wash their hair. They smile and hug. They learn that it is not nice to be jealous. It is better to share and be kind. +Sara loved roses. She had a rose in a pot on her window. She watered it every day and talked to it. She said, "You are so pretty and red. You make me happy." + +One day, Sara went to play with her friend Ben. She left her rose on the window. Ben had a cat named Max. Max was very intelligent. He liked to explore and jump on things. He saw the rose on the window and wanted to smell it. He jumped on the pot and knocked it over. The rose fell on the floor and broke. + +Sara came back and saw her rose. She was very sad and angry. She cried and said, "Max, you are a bad cat! You broke my rose! It was my favorite!" + +Ben felt sorry for Sara. He wanted to make her happy. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. Max didn't mean to break your rose. He was just curious. I have an idea. Why don't we replace your rose with a new one? I have some seeds in my garden. We can plant them and grow a new rose for you." + +Sara stopped crying and looked at Ben. She said, "Really? You have seeds for roses? Can we do that?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go to my garden. I'll show you how to plant them. Maybe we can grow more than one rose. Then you can have a rose and I can have a rose. And we can share them with Max. He likes roses too, but he doesn't know how to be gentle with them. We can teach him." + +Sara smiled and said, "OK, Ben. That sounds like a good idea. Thank you for being my friend. And thank you for helping me replace my rose." +Sara and Ben love to go to the zoo with their mom and dad. They like to see the big and small animals, and hear the noises they make. They also like to ride the train that goes around the zoo. + +One day, they went to the zoo and saw many animals. They saw lions, monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and more. They had fun feeding the goats and petting the rabbits. They also rode the train and waved to the animals. + +But when they got off the train, Sara felt dizzy. She said to her mom, "Mom, I don't feel good. My head is spinning." Her mom said, "Oh, Sara, you are dizzy. Maybe you rode the train too many times. You need to rest and drink some water." + +Ben said, "Sara, I'm sorry you are dizzy. I love you. Do you want to share my ice cream?" Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I love you too. Yes, I want to share your ice cream." + +Sara and Ben ate the ice cream and felt better. They learned that too much of anything can make you dizzy, and that sharing and caring can make you happy. They hugged their mom and dad and said, "We had a great day at the zoo. Thank you for taking us." Their mom and dad said, "We love you, Sara and Ben. You are good kids." They all went home and had a good night's sleep. +Lily liked to swim in the pool with her dad. She wore a pink suit and a hat. She splashed and kicked and laughed. She felt happy and warm. + +One day, she saw a big book on the table. It had many words and pictures. She wanted to look at it. She asked her dad, "What is this?" + +Her dad said, "This is a book of spells. It has magic words and things you can do with them. But you have to be careful. Some spells are good and some are bad." + +Lily was curious. She opened the book and saw a spell that said, "Turn pale as snow." She thought it sounded fun. She said the words out loud. + +Suddenly, she felt cold and strange. She looked at her arms and legs. They were white as snow. She was scared. She cried, "Dad, help me!" + +Her dad heard her and ran to her. He saw what happened. He was worried. He looked for a spell to fix it. He found one that said, "Turn back to normal." He said the words and hugged her. + +Lily felt warm and normal again. She looked at her skin. It was pink and healthy. She was relieved. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I won't touch the book again." + +Her dad said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're fine. But you have to be careful with spells. They are not for playing. They are for learning and helping. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, dad. Can we swim in the pool now?" + +Her dad smiled. He said, "Yes, we can. Let's go." He took the book and put it away. He took her hand and led her to the pool. They swam and played and laughed. They felt happy and warm. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to search for bugs and flowers. They had a big jar to keep their finds. + +"Look, Anna, I found a shiny stone!" Ben said, holding up a smooth pebble. + +"Wow, that's pretty! Can I see?" Anna asked, reaching for the stone. + +"No, it's mine! I found it first!" Ben said, pulling the stone away. + +"That's not fair! You have to share!" Anna said, feeling angry. + +They started to argue and tug at the stone. They did not see the pond behind them. They lost their balance and fell into the water with a splash. + +"Help! Help!" they cried, feeling scared and wet. + +A man who was walking his dog heard their cries and ran to help them. He pulled them out of the pond and gave them a towel. + +"Are you okay, kids? What were you doing?" he asked, looking at their jar. + +"We were searching for bugs and flowers, but we fought over a stone," Anna said, feeling ashamed. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was not honest. You can have the stone," Ben said, feeling sorry. + +The man smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, Ben. And that's very brave of you, Anna. Fighting is not good, but honesty and sharing are. Here, I have something for you." + +He opened his hand and showed them a shiny coin. + +"This is for you to buy some ice cream. But only if you promise to be nice to each other and to the bugs and flowers," he said. + +Anna and Ben nodded and thanked the man. They hugged each other and said sorry. They decided to let the bugs and flowers go. They walked to the ice cream shop, holding hands and the coin. They felt happy and learned a lesson. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys on the white table. Lily has a doll and Tom has a car. They are having fun and making noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Tom says. + +"My doll is pretty, she has a pink dress!" Lily says. + +They play for a long time, until their mom calls them for lunch. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" Mom says. + +Lily and Tom run to the kitchen, but they forget to put away their toys. They leave them on the white table. + +After lunch, they want to play again, but they can't find their toys. + +"Where is my car?" Tom asks. + +"Where is my doll?" Lily asks. + +They look everywhere, but they can't see them. + +They go back to the white table, and they see a big mess. There are crayons, papers, books, and scissors on the table. Their toys are buried under them. + +"Oh no, we forgot our toys!" Lily says. + +"Who did this?" Tom says. + +They see their big sister, Anna, sitting on the couch. She is reading a book and smiling. + +"I did this," Anna says. "You left your toys on the table, so I used them for my art project. Look, I made a collage!" + +Lily and Tom are angry and sad. They don't like what Anna did. They want their toys back. + +"Give us our toys!" Lily says. + +"That's not fair!" Tom says. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what's wrong. She sees the white table and the collage. + +"What's going on here?" Mom says. + +Anna explains what she did, and why. Lily and Tom explain how they feel, and why. + +Mom listens to both sides, and then she says: + +"Anna, I understand that you wanted to be creative, but you should have asked Lily and Tom before you used their toys. That was not nice. You need to apologize and give them their toys back." + +Lily and Tom, I understand that you were excited to play, but you should have cleaned up your toys before you left the table. That was not responsible. You need to say sorry and help Anna clean up the table." + +Anna, Lily, and Tom look at each other. They realize that they all made a mistake. They say sorry to each other, and hug. They give back their toys, and help clean up the table. They decide to share their toys, and play together. They are happy again. +Ben likes to speak to his dog, Rex. Rex is a nice dog. He has brown fur and a long tail. He likes to play with Ben and lick his face. + +One day, Ben and Rex go to the park. They see a big ball. Ben wants to play with the ball. He runs to the ball and kicks it. Rex runs after the ball and catches it in his mouth. + +But the ball is not Ben's. It is Tom's. Tom is a big boy. He is not nice. He sees Ben and Rex with his ball. He gets angry. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" Tom shouts. He runs to Ben and Rex and tries to take the ball from Rex. Rex growls and does not let go. Ben is scared. + +"Leave us alone!" Ben says. "We just want to play!" + +"No, it's mine!" Tom says. He pulls the ball hard. Rex bites Tom's hand. Tom screams and lets go of the ball. He runs away, crying. + +Ben hugs Rex. "Good boy, Rex!" Ben says. "You are a brave dog. I love you." + +Rex wags his tail and licks Ben's face. They play with the ball some more. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big star that shone with many colors. They loved to hug the star and make wishes on it. + +One day, they had a fight over the star. Lily wanted to play with it alone, and Ben wanted to share it. They pulled the star from each other, and did not listen to their mom, who told them to be nice. They were careless and did not see that the star was getting torn. + +Suddenly, the star split in two, and the colors faded. Lily and Ben cried, and felt sorry for what they did. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They wished they could fix the star, but it was too late. + +Their mom came and saw the broken star. She was sad, but she also saw that Lily and Ben learned a lesson. She told them that the star was a gift from their grandma, who loved them very much. She said that the star was a symbol of their love, and that they should always cherish it and each other. + +Lily and Ben nodded, and hugged their mom. They realized that the star was not just a toy, but a reminder of their family. They promised to be kind and share their toys, and to never fight over the star again. They hoped that their grandma would forgive them, and send them another star someday. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But today the sky was gloomy and dark. It looked like rain. + +"Let's go home, Lily. It is not fun to play when it is gloomy," Tom said. + +"But I want to play more, Tom. Look, there is a green house over there. Maybe we can play there," Lily said. She pointed to a small house with a green roof and a green door. + +Tom followed Lily to the green house. They knocked on the door, but no one answered. They opened the door and went inside. The house was empty, but there were many things to play with. There were books, toys, crayons and paper. + +"Wow, this is a fun house, Lily. Who lives here?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe they are away. But they left us many things to play with. They are very nice," Lily said. + +They started to play with the things. They read the books, played with the toys, and drew pictures with the crayons and paper. They had so much fun that they forgot about the gloomy sky. + +Suddenly, they heard a voice. + +"Hello, who are you? What are you doing in my house?" The voice was loud and angry. + +Lily and Tom looked up and saw a big man standing at the door. He had a beard and a hat. He looked scary. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the things and ran to the door. + +"We are sorry, sir. We were just playing. We didn't mean to bother you," Lily said. + +"Playing? With my things? How did you get in here?" The man asked. + +"The door was open, sir. We thought you were away. We thought you left us the things to play with. We thought you were nice," Tom said. + +"Nice? I am not nice. I am grumpy. I don't like children. I don't like noise. I don't like sharing. These are my things. I supply them for myself. Not for you. Now get out of my house. And don't come back," The man said. + +He pushed Lily and Tom out of the door and slammed it behind them. + +Lily and Tom ran away from the green house. They were sad and scared. They wished they had never gone there. + +They went back to the park. They saw their mom waiting for them. She smiled and hugged them. + +"Did you have fun, my darlings?" She asked. + +Lily and Tom shook their heads. They told their mom what happened. + +Their mom was angry and sorry. She said the man was mean and rude. She said they did nothing wrong. She said they were brave and good. + +She took them home. She gave them cookies and milk. She read them a story. She kissed them goodnight. + +Lily and Tom felt better. They forgot about the gloomy sky and the green house. They dreamed of happy things. They loved their mom. She was nice. She supplied them with love. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in spring. Spring is when the sun is warm and the flowers grow. But today, spring is icy. The wind is cold and the snow is hard. + +Tom and Mia see a big hill. They want to slide down the hill. They find a big board. They put the board on the snow. They sit on the board. They are ready to go. + +"Are you scared?" Tom asks Mia. + +"No, I am not scared. Are you?" Mia says. + +"No, I am not scared. Let's go!" Tom says. + +They push the board. The board goes fast. Tom and Mia laugh. They feel the wind on their faces. They see the trees and the sky. They are having fun. + +But then, they see a problem. There is a big hole at the end of the hill. The hole is dark and deep. Tom and Mia are scared. They try to stop the board. But the board is too fast. The board goes into the hole. + +"Help!" Tom and Mia scream. + +But no one hears them. No one can catch them. They fall into the hole. The hole is icy and cold. Tom and Mia are hurt. They cry. They are not having fun. They are sad. They are alone. They wish they did not slide down the hill. They wish they stayed at home. They wish spring was not icy. +Tim and Sam were playing with their new toy. It was a big missile that could bounce. They liked to throw it high in the air and catch it. Sometimes it bounced off the wall or the sofa. They laughed and had fun. + +"Look, Tim, I can bounce it very high!" Sam said. He threw the missile as hard as he could. It went up, up, up, and then came down, down, down. + +But it did not land in Sam's hands. It landed on Mom's vase. The vase was delicate and pretty. It had flowers and birds on it. Mom loved the vase. But now it was broken. The missile smashed it into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Tim and Sam said. They were scared and sad. They knew Mom would be angry and sad too. They did not mean to break the vase. They did not know it was there. + +They heard Mom coming. They did not know what to do. They hid behind the sofa. They hoped Mom would not see the broken vase. They hoped she would not see them. They hoped she would not be too mad. They were sorry. They wished they could fix the vase. They wished they could make Mom happy again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy helicopter. They liked to make it fly high in the sky and watch it spin. They pretended it was a real helicopter that could go anywhere. + +But then a big dog came running towards them. It barked loudly and wanted to play with the helicopter. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want the dog to break their toy or hurt them. + +They ran to their dad, who was sitting on a bench. He saw the dog and quickly picked up Tom and Lily. He held them close and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you. The dog is not mean, he just wants to have fun. But he does not know how to play gently with your helicopter." + +He waved to the dog's owner, who came over and called the dog back. He said he was sorry and that the dog was still a puppy. He said he would teach him how to behave better. + +Tom and Lily were happy that their dad was wise and brave. They thanked him and gave him a hug. They went back to playing with their helicopter, but they stayed away from the dog. They had fun until it was time to go home. +Sara loved ponies. She had many pony toys in her room. She liked to play with them and make them run and jump. She wished she had a real pony to ride and hug. + +One day, her mom said, "Sara, we are going to visit your aunt. She lives in a big house with a big yard. She is very wealthy. She has a surprise for you." + +Sara was excited. She hoped the surprise was a pony. She packed her pony toys in her bag and got in the car with her mom. + +When they arrived at her aunt's house, Sara saw a big gate. Her mom pushed a button and the gate opened. They drove in and Sara saw a big barn. She saw some horses and cows and chickens. She also saw a small pony with a pink bow on its mane. + +"Sara, this is your surprise," her aunt said, smiling. "This is Rosie. She is a pony for you. You can ride her and feed her and brush her. Do you like her?" + +Sara was so happy. She jumped out of the car and ran to the pony. She hugged her and said, "I love you, Rosie. You are the best surprise ever. Thank you, auntie." + +She climbed on the pony's back and her aunt helped her hold the reins. They rode around the yard and Sara felt like a princess. She was so happy that she forgot about her pony toys in her bag. She only wanted to be with Rosie. + +She said to her mom, "Mom, can we stay here with Rosie? I don't want to go home." + +Her mom smiled and said, "We can stay for a while, but we have to go home eventually. Rosie is your pony, but she lives here with your aunt. You can visit her anytime you want. She will always be your friend." + +Sara nodded. She understood. She was glad she had a pony and a wealthy aunt. She was the luckiest girl in the world. She gave Rosie another hug and said, "You are my pony and I am your girl. We will always be close." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to Sara's house after school. Sara's mom says they can nap on the sofa. The sofa is big and soft. It has leather on it. Leather is from cows. + +Sara and Ben put their toys on the floor and lie on the sofa. They are very tired. They close their eyes and nap. They dream of happy things. + +But Sara's dog, Rex, does not like to nap. He likes to run and bark and chew. He sees the toys on the floor. He thinks they are his toys. He runs to the toys and grabs them with his teeth. He shakes them and tears them. He makes a big mess. + +Sara and Ben wake up from the noise. They see Rex and the toys. They are very sad and angry. They shout at Rex. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog! You broke our toys! Go away!" + +Rex does not understand. He thinks they want to play. He wags his tail and jumps on the sofa. He licks their faces and bites their hair. He is friendly, but he hurts them. + +Sara and Ben cry and push Rex away. They run to Sara's mom and tell her what happened. Sara's mom is sorry. She scolds Rex and puts him in his crate. She tries to fix the toys, but some are too broken. She hugs Sara and Ben and says she will buy them new toys. + +But Sara and Ben are not happy. They do not want new toys. They want their old toys. They do not want to play with Rex. They do not want to nap on the sofa. They want to go home. They do not feel like friends anymore. +Ben loved his pillow. It was soft and fluffy and had a picture of a big red truck on it. He always slept with his pillow and hugged it tight. He did not like to share his pillow with anyone, not even his little sister, Lily. + +One morning, Ben woke up and saw that his pillow was gone. He looked around his room and saw Lily playing with his pillow on the floor. She was making it zoom like a truck and making loud noises. Ben was very angry. He jumped out of his bed and ran to Lily. + +"Give me back my pillow!" he shouted. "That is my pillow, not yours!" + +Lily looked at him and smiled. She did not want to give him back his pillow. She liked it too. She shook her head and said, "No, it is my pillow now. You have many toys, but I have none. You are spoiled and mean." + +Ben did not like what Lily said. He tried to grab his pillow from her, but she held on tight. They started to pull and tug and fight over the pillow. They did not hear their mom coming into the room. + +"Stop it, both of you!" their mom said. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a pillow?" + +Ben and Lily stopped and looked at their mom. They both wanted to tell her that it was their pillow, but before they could say anything, they heard a loud rip. The pillow had torn in half from their pulling. The stuffing came out and flew everywhere. Ben and Lily gasped. They had broken their pillow. + +They both felt sad and sorry. They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." They hugged and said, "I love you, I love you." They picked up the pieces of their pillow and gave them to their mom. + +Their mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you are sorry and you love each other. But you should not fight over things. You should share and be kind. Now, let's see if we can fix your pillow. Maybe we can make two pillows out of it, one for each of you. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please, yes, please." They helped their mom sew the pillow back together and make two smaller pillows. They each got one and thanked their mom. They decided to play with their pillows together and make them zoom like trucks. They were happy and had fun. They learned their lesson and never fought over their pillow again. +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. One day, they saw a big cake in the oven. It smelled so good, they wanted to taste it. + +"Let's get the cake out of the oven," Ben said. "It looks ready." + +"No, Ben, we can't do that," Jen said. "The oven is very hot. It can hurt us. We have to wait for Mom to come." + +But Ben did not listen to Jen. He put on a mitt and opened the oven door. He reached for the cake, but it was too far. He had to jump to get it. + +"Ben, stop!" Jen shouted. "You will fall!" + +But it was too late. Ben jumped and grabbed the cake, but he lost his balance. He fell on the floor with the cake on top of him. He cried out in pain. The cake was hot and sticky. It burned his skin and his clothes. + +Jen ran to help Ben. She took off the cake and the mitt. She saw that Ben had red marks on his arms and his face. She felt sorry for him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Jen asked. + +"No, Jen, I'm not okay," Ben said. "The cake hurt me. It was a bad idea to get it out of the oven. I should have listened to you. I'm sorry." + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Ben and Jen on the floor. She saw the cake and the oven. She understood what happened. She was angry and sad. + +"Ben, Jen, what did you do?" Mom asked. "You know you are not allowed to touch the oven. It is dangerous. You could have been seriously injured. You are very lucky it was not worse." + +Mom took Ben and Jen to the bathroom. She cleaned their wounds and put some cream on them. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She told them she loved them, but they had to be more careful and obedient. + +Ben and Jen felt ashamed and sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played with the oven again. They realized that the oven was not a toy, but a tool. They decided to wait for Mom to make them cake, or to help her with her permission. They knew that Mom knew best, and that she wanted them to be safe and happy. +Tim and Lily like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. They also like to listen to music on Tim's phone. Tim has a lot of songs on his phone. Some are happy, some are sad, some are loud, and some are quiet. + +One day, Tim and Lily go to the park with Tim's mom. Tim's mom says they can play for a while, but they have to stay close to her. She sits on a bench and reads a book. Tim and Lily run to the swings. They swing high and low, and laugh and sing. They have fun. + +Then, Tim has an idea. He says to Lily, "Let's play a game. I will play some music on my phone, and you have to swing like the music. If the music is happy, you swing fast. If the music is sad, you swing slow. If the music is loud, you swing high. If the music is quiet, you swing low. OK?" + +Lily thinks the game sounds fun. She says, "OK, let's play. You go first. Play some music for me." + +Tim takes out his phone and looks for a song. He finds one that he likes. It is a wild song. It has a lot of drums and guitars and shouting. He plays the song and says, "Swing like this!" + +Lily hears the wild music and tries to swing like it. She swings very fast and very high. She feels like she is flying. She likes the wild music. She says, "This is fun! I like this song!" + +But Tim's mom does not like the wild music. She hears the noise and looks up from her book. She sees Tim and Lily swinging wildly on the swings. She thinks they are being dangerous and rude. She gets angry. She says, "Tim! Lily! Stop that right now! Turn off that music! Come here!" + +Tim and Lily hear Tim's mom and get scared. They try to stop swinging, but they are going too fast and too high. They lose their balance and fall off the swings. They land on the ground and hurt themselves. They cry and scream. + +Tim's mom runs to them and picks them up. She checks if they are OK. She sees that they have some bruises and scratches, but nothing serious. She is relieved, but also mad. She says, "What were you thinking? That was a very bad game! You could have broken your bones or your heads! And that music was awful! It was too loud and too wild! You disturbed everyone in the park! You should be ashamed of yourselves!" + +Tim and Lily feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "We're sorry, mom. We didn't mean to be bad. We just wanted to have fun. We like the wild music. It makes us happy." + +Tim's mom says, "Well, you can't play with the wild music anymore. It is not good for you. It makes you do silly things. From now on, you can only play with nice music. Music that is calm and gentle and sweet. Music that makes you behave. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Lily nod and say, "Yes, mom. We understand." + +Tim's mom says, "Good. Now, let's go home. You need some rest and some ice for your bruises. And you need to say sorry to the people in the park. And you need to give me your phone. I will delete the wild music from it. You don't need it anymore." + +Tim and Lily say, "OK, mom. We're sorry. We love you." + +Tim's mom says, "I love you too. But I don't love the wild music. Come on, let's go." + +She takes them by the hand and walks them to the car. They leave the park. They don't swing or play or listen to music anymore. They are sad and quiet. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a new boy at the park. He has a big bike and a loud voice. He rides his bike very fast and makes a lot of noise. + +"Hi, I'm Tom. Do you want to play with me?" he asks Lily and Ben. + +"Sure, we can play with you. What do you want to play?" Lily says. + +"I want to play bike race. You can use my bike and I'll use yours. It's more fun that way." Tom says. + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They don't know if they want to swap bikes. They like their own bikes. They are not sure if Tom is nice or not. + +"OK, we can try. But be careful with our bikes. They are very special to us." Ben says. + +"OK, OK, don't worry. I know how to ride a bike. I'm the best." Tom says. + +They swap bikes and start to race. Tom rides Lily's bike very fast and very rough. He bumps into other kids and trees and swings. He doesn't say sorry. He laughs and shouts. Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They want their bikes back. + +"Tom, stop! You are being rude. You are hurting our bikes and other kids. Give us our bikes back." Lily says. + +"No, I won't. I like your bikes. They are better than mine. You can keep mine. I don't care." Tom says. + +He rides away with their bikes. He doesn't look back. He doesn't care. Lily and Ben are left with Tom's bike. It is big and dirty and broken. They don't like it. They cry and cry. They wish they never met Tom. They wish they never swapped bikes. They wish they never visited the park that day. +Lisa loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Molly. Molly had long yellow hair, a pink dress and a smile on her face. Lisa thought Molly was adorable. + +One day, Lisa wanted to give Molly a bath. She filled the bathtub with water and bubbles. She put Molly in the water and washed her hair with shampoo. She sang a song to Molly and made her laugh. + +But Lisa forgot to turn off the water. The bathtub got too full and the water spilled on the floor. Lisa did not notice. She was too busy playing with Molly. + +"Lisa, what are you doing?" Mommy asked. She came into the bathroom and saw the mess. She was angry. "Look at the water! It's everywhere! You could slip and hurt yourself! And look at the shampoo! It's near the lamp! It could burn and start a fire!" + +Lisa was scared. She did not mean to make Mommy angry. She did not mean to make a mess. She did not know the shampoo could burn. She started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy," Lisa said. "I just wanted to give Molly a bath. She was dirty and I wanted to make her clean and happy." + +Mommy sighed. She saw Lisa's tears and Molly's wet hair. She felt sorry for Lisa. She knew Lisa loved Molly and wanted to take care of her. + +"It's okay, Lisa," Mommy said. "I know you love Molly. But you have to be careful with water and shampoo. They can be dangerous if you use too much or leave them near the lamp. Next time, ask me to help you with Molly's bath. Okay?" + +Lisa nodded. She hugged Molly and said sorry to her too. She hoped Molly was not mad at her. She hoped Molly still liked her. + +Mommy smiled. She hugged Lisa and Molly. She said she loved them both. She said they were adorable. She helped Lisa dry Molly's hair and clean the bathroom. Then they went to the kitchen and had some cookies and milk. Lisa was happy. Molly was happy. Mommy was happy. They had a good day. +Tim and Sam were two cats who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle of water near the fence. Tim wanted to jump in and splash, but Sam was afraid of getting wet. + +"Come on, Sam, it's fun!" Tim said. "Don't be a scaredy-cat!" + +"No, thank you, Tim. I don't like water. It makes me cold and sticky. You go ahead, I'll watch from here." Sam said. + +Tim shrugged and ran to the puddle. He jumped in with a big splash and laughed. He felt the water on his fur and his paws. He liked how it sparkled in the sun. + +Sam watched from a safe distance. He saw Tim having fun, but he also saw something else. He saw a shadow moving behind the fence. It was big and dark and had a long tail. It looked like a dog. + +"Tim, watch out!" Sam shouted. "There's a dog behind the fence!" + +Tim heard Sam's voice, but he didn't see the dog. He was too busy playing in the water. He thought Sam was trying to trick him. + +"Nice try, Sam. You can't fool me. There's no dog behind the fence. You're just jealous because I'm having fun and you're not." Tim said. + +Sam shook his head. He knew he was telling the truth. He saw the dog getting closer and closer to the fence. He saw its teeth and its eyes. He saw it jump over the fence and land in the puddle. + +Tim saw the dog too, but it was too late. He was trapped in the water. He tried to run away, but the dog was faster. He tried to scream, but the dog was louder. He tried to fight, but the dog was stronger. + +Sam saw Tim vanish under the water. He saw the dog shake its head and its fur. He saw the water turn red. He saw the dog run away with something in its mouth. + +Sam was alone. He was scared. He was sad. He wished he had jumped in the puddle with Tim. He wished he had saved him. He wished he had said sorry. He wished he had said goodbye. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big sign near the trees. The sign had a picture of a train and an arrow. It said "Underground". + +"What is underground?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see!" Mia said. + +They followed the arrow and found a hole in the ground. There were stairs going down. They went down the stairs and saw a big tunnel. There were lights and wires and pipes. It was dark and noisy. + +"This is scary!" Tom said. + +"No, it's not. It's fun!" Mia said. + +They walked along the tunnel and saw a big metal thing. It had wheels and windows and doors. It was a train. It was not moving. + +"Can we go inside?" Mia asked. + +"I don't think so. It might be dangerous." Tom said. + +But Mia did not listen. She ran to the train and opened a door. She got inside and looked around. There were seats and buttons and levers. She pushed a button and the train made a loud sound. + +"Beep! Beep! Beep!" + +Tom heard the sound and got scared. He ran to the train and saw Mia inside. + +"Mia, come out! Come out!" Tom shouted. + +But Mia did not come out. She pulled a lever and the train started to move. It moved very fast. It went out of the tunnel and into the daylight. + +"Help! Help! Help!" Tom and Mia screamed. + +They saw people and cars and buildings. They saw another sign. It said "City". + +They did not know where they were. They did not know how to stop the train. They did not know how to go back to the park. + +They wished they had never followed the sign. They wished they had never gone underground. They wished they had never found the train. + +They wished they had stayed on the swing, the slide and the run. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Sara wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Ben waits for his turn. + +"Be careful, Sara!" Ben says. "The slide is wet and slippery!" + +But Sara does not listen. She thinks she is brave and fast. She sits on the slide and pushes herself down. She goes very fast. Too fast. She cannot stop. She slips off the slide and falls on the ground. She hurts her shoulder. She cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara says. "My shoulder hurts!" + +Ben runs to Sara. He helps her get up. He hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Sara. Are you okay?" + +Sara nods. She is still crying. She sees a yellow flower on the ground. She picks it up and gives it to Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You were right. The slide was slippery. I was silly." + +Ben smiles. He takes the flower and says, "You're welcome, Sara. You are a good sister. I'm glad you are okay. Next time, we can go on the slide together. But we have to be careful and slow." + +Sara and Ben hug each other. They learn a lesson. They learn to listen to each other and to be careful when they play. They also learn to say sorry and thank you. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing soccer in the park. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. Lily wanted to score a goal. She saw the net and ran with the ball. + +"Pass it to me!" Ben shouted. He was open and wanted to help. But Lily did not pass. She wanted to score by herself. + +Ben was angry. He felt left out. He ran after Lily and tried to take the ball from her. They both fell on the grass and the ball rolled away. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily cried. She was angry too. She wanted to win. + +"Neither is keeping the ball all the time!" Ben said. He got up and dusted himself off. + +They looked at each other and frowned. They did not want to play anymore. They sat on the grass and looked away. + +Then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She had come to pick them up. + +"Hi, kids, are you having fun?" she asked. She smiled and walked towards them. + +Lily and Ben did not smile. They did not answer. They were still angry. + +Mom saw their faces and the ball. She guessed what had happened. + +"Uh-oh, did you have a fight?" she asked. She sat down next to them and hugged them. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sad. + +Mom kissed their heads and said, "I'm sorry you had a fight. But you know what? Fighting is not good. It hurts your feelings and your friendship. You should always share and take turns. That's how you play nicely and have fun." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They remembered how they used to play together and have fun. They remembered how they liked to score goals and cheer for each other. They felt sorry for being angry. + +They hugged mom and said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, Lily. We're sorry, Ben." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's OK. I'm glad you're sorry. Now, do you want to play some more? I have a snack for you when you're done." + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, please. We want to play some more. And we want to share and take turns." + +They got up and ran to the ball. They kicked it and chased it. They passed it and scored goals. They cheered and laughed. They had fun. They were friends again. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars and trucks in the garden. They liked to load the trucks with dirt and rocks and drive them around. But Tom was naughty and he wanted to have all the trucks for himself. He took Lily's truck when she was not looking and hid it behind a bush. + +"Tom, where is my truck?" Lily asked. "I want to load it with more dirt." + +"I don't know," Tom lied. "Maybe you lost it." + +Lily looked around and saw a strip of red sticking out from behind the bush. She ran to the bush and found her truck. She was angry and sad. + +"Tom, you took my truck!" she shouted. "You are naughty and mean. You are not my friend anymore." + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He knew he did a bad thing. He wanted to make Lily happy again. + +"Lily, I'm sorry," he said. "I was naughty and selfish. I should have shared with you. Can I give you back your truck and play with you?" + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sincere. She decided to forgive him and be his friend again. + +"Okay, Tom," she said. "You can play with me. But you have to be nice and share. And you have to help me load my truck with more dirt." + +Tom nodded and smiled. He gave Lily back her truck and they played together. They learned that sharing is better than stealing and that being nice is better than being naughty. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see many birds and animals. They see a big owl in a tree. The owl has brown and white feathers and big yellow eyes. + +"Look, Ben, an owl!" Anna says. "It is so pretty. I want to be an owl too." + +"How can you be an owl, Anna?" Ben asks. "You are a girl, not a bird." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She picks up some leaves and sticks and puts them on her head and arms. She makes a hole in a paper bag and puts it over her face. She cuts out two circles and draws eyes on them. She sticks them on the bag. + +"Look, Ben, I am an owl now!" Anna says. She flaps her arms and makes a hooting sound. + +Ben laughs. He thinks Anna is funny. He also wants to be an owl. He finds some more leaves and sticks and a paper bag. He makes his own owl costume. + +"Look, Anna, I am an owl too!" Ben says. He flaps his arms and makes a hooting sound. + +Anna and Ben run around the park, pretending to be owls. They have a lot of fun. They do not see that they are getting very dirty. They have mud and grass and bits of paper on their clothes and faces. + +"Anna, Ben, time to go home!" their mom calls. She sees them and gasps. "What have you done? You are so dirty! You are not owls, you are pigs!" + +Anna and Ben stop and look at each other. They see how dirty they are. They giggle. + +"Sorry, mom, we were playing," Anna says. + +"We wanted to be owls, mom," Ben says. + +Mom shakes her head. She smiles. She loves her children, even when they are dirty. + +"Come on, you silly owls, let's go home and get clean," mom says. She takes their hands and leads them to the car. Anna and Ben hoot one more time. They are happy. They had a great day. +Tom and Jen were humble kids who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. One day, their mom had to go out for a while and told them to stay away from the stove. She said it was very hot and could hurt them. She also locked the door so they could not go outside. + +Tom and Jen nodded and said they would be good. But after their mom left, they got bored and curious. They wanted to see what was on the stove. They dragged a chair and climbed on it. They saw a big pot with something bubbling inside. + +"Wow, what is that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, maybe soup?" Jen guessed. + +"Let's taste it!" Tom said. + +He reached for the pot handle, but it was too hot. He screamed and let go. The pot tipped over and spilled the hot liquid all over them. They cried and ran to the door, but it was locked. They banged on it and called for help, but no one heard them. They were alone and in pain. They wished they had listened to their mom. +Sara likes to balance on her bike. She can ride with no hands and do tricks. She is very good at it. But her neighbor Ben does not like it. He thinks Sara is showing off. He wants to balance better than her. + +One day, Sara and Ben are riding on the street. Sara sees a big hill. She wants to go down fast and balance on one wheel. She thinks it will be fun. But Ben sees her too. He wants to go faster and balance longer. He thinks he will win. + +They both race to the hill. Sara goes first. She pedals hard and lifts one wheel. She feels the wind in her hair. She smiles. But Ben is behind her. He pedals harder and lifts both wheels. He feels the air under him. He grins. + +But then, Ben loses his balance. He falls off his bike. He lands on the ground. He hurts his knee. He cries. Sara hears him. She stops her bike. She turns around. She sees Ben. She feels sorry for him. + +She goes to him. She helps him up. She gives him a hug. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" Ben nods. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was mean to you. You are very good at balancing. You are better than me." Sara says, "That's okay, Ben. You are good too. You just need more practice. Do you want to try again?" Ben says, "Yes, please. But can you teach me how to balance?" Sara says, "Sure. I can share my tricks with you. You are my neighbor and my friend." Ben says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very generous and kind." They smile. They hug. They get on their bikes. They balance together. They have fun. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, a big boy arrived. He was older and taller than Lila and Ben. He saw their ball and wanted to play with it. He did not ask them. He just took the ball and ran away. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Lila shouted. "Give it back!" + +The big boy did not listen. He was ignorant. He did not care about Lila and Ben. He only cared about himself. + +Lila and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They ran after the big boy, but he was too fast. They could not catch him. + +They saw a man sitting on a bench. He was reading a book. He looked kind and smart. They decided to ask him for help. + +"Excuse me, sir," Ben said. "Can you help us? A big boy took our ball and ran away. He was ignorant. He did not ask us. He did not share. He was mean." + +The man looked at Lila and Ben. He felt sorry for them. He put down his book and stood up. + +"Of course, I can help you," he said. "That was not nice of the big boy. He should learn to be polite and respectful. Come on, let's find him and get your ball back." + +The man, Lila and Ben walked around the park. They looked for the big boy and the ball. They saw him near the slide. He was still playing with the ball. He did not see them. + +The man walked up to the big boy. He tapped him on the shoulder. + +"Hello, young man," he said. "I think you have something that does not belong to you. This ball is not yours. It is theirs." He pointed at Lila and Ben. + +The big boy turned around. He saw the man, Lila and Ben. He was surprised and scared. He knew he did something wrong. + +"Uh, I'm sorry," he said. "I just wanted to play with the ball. I did not mean to hurt anyone." + +The man smiled. He was not angry. He was gentle. + +"I understand," he said. "But you should always ask before you take something that is not yours. And you should share with others. That is the right thing to do. That is how you make friends and have fun. Do you understand?" + +The big boy nodded. He felt ashamed. He learned a lesson. + +"Yes, I understand," he said. "I'm sorry, Lila and Ben. Can I give you back your ball? And maybe we can play together?" + +Lila and Ben smiled. They were happy. They forgave the big boy. They took their ball and thanked the man. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Lila said. "But you have to be nice and fair. And you have to say please and thank you." + +The big boy agreed. He said please and thank you. He was nice and fair. He played with Lila and Ben. They had a lot of fun. + +The man watched them. He was proud. He picked up his book and sat down on the bench. He continued reading. He was happy. + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of asking, sharing, respecting, forgiving and learning. It shows that being ignorant and selfish can cause problems and hurt others, while being polite and respectful can lead to friendship and fun. It also shows that adults can help children to solve their conflicts and teach them good manners. +Anna was sad. She had no friends to play with. She lived in a small house with her mom and dad. They were poor. They had no toys, no books, no TV. + +One day, Anna saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny. It had a string. Anna wanted the balloon. She ran after it. She hoped it would come down. + +"Mom, look! A balloon!" Anna shouted. + +"Be careful, Anna. Don't go too far," her mom said. + +Anna followed the balloon. It flew over the trees, the houses, the cars. Anna ran and ran. She did not see where she was going. + +She bumped into a boy. He was holding the string of the balloon. He was smiling. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. This is my balloon. I got it for my birthday," he said. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. I like your balloon. It's very pretty," she said. + +"Thank you. Do you want to play with it?" he asked. + +"Really? Can I?" she said. + +"Sure. You can hold the string. But don't let go. The balloon will fly away," he said. + +They played with the balloon. They made it go up and down. They made it dance in the wind. They laughed and had fun. + +Anna was happy. She had a friend to play with. She forgot she was poor. She forgot she had no toys, no books, no TV. + +"Anna, it's time to go home," her mom called. + +"OK, mom. I'm coming," Anna said. + +She gave the balloon back to Ben. + +"Thank you for letting me play with your balloon. It was very nice of you," she said. + +"You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Do you want to play with me again tomorrow?" he asked. + +"Yes, please. That would be great," she said. + +They hugged and said goodbye. + +Anna went home with her mom. She was still happy. She had a friend to play with. She had a balloon in her heart. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to read books and draw pictures. She did not talk much to the other kids at school, because she was afraid they would laugh at her or be mean. One day, a new boy named Max came to her class. He had curly hair and a big smile. He sat next to Lily and said hello. + +"Hi, I'm Max. What's your name?" he asked. + +Lily looked down at her book and whispered, "Lily." + +"That's a pretty name. Do you like books?" Max asked. + +Lily nodded. She liked books a lot, but she did not know how to tell him. + +"What are you reading?" Max asked. + +Lily showed him the cover of her book. It was about a princess and a dragon. + +"Wow, that looks cool. Can you tell me what happens?" Max asked. + +Lily felt a warm feeling in her chest. She liked that Max was interested in her book. She decided to be brave and tell him the story. She opened the book and pointed at the pictures. She told him how the princess met the dragon, how they became friends, and how they saved the kingdom from a bad king. + +Max listened with wide eyes and asked many questions. He said he liked the story and Lily's voice. He said he wanted to be her friend. + +Lily smiled and felt happy. She liked Max and his questions. She said she wanted to be his friend too. + +They spent the rest of the day talking and playing. Lily was not shy anymore. She had found a new friend who liked to tell and ask questions. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mill near the river. The mill had a big wheel that turned with the water. Sam and Ben wanted to see the mill up close. + +"Let's go to the mill," Sam said. "Maybe we can find something fun inside." + +"No, Sam, that's a bad idea," Ben said. "The mill is old and dirty. It might be dangerous. Mom and Dad told us not to go near the mill." + +But Sam did not listen to Ben. He was curious and brave. He ran to the mill and opened the door. He saw a lot of wood and hay inside. He also saw a box of matches on a table. + +"Wow, look at this," Sam said. He picked up a match and struck it on the box. The match made a bright flame. Sam liked the flame. He threw the match on the hay. + +"Sam, what are you doing?" Ben shouted. "You are stupid! You will burn the mill!" + +But Sam did not hear Ben. He struck another match and threw it on the wood. The wood and the hay caught fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. The mill was burning. + +"Help, help!" Sam and Ben cried. They ran out of the mill. They saw smoke and flames coming out of the mill. They were scared and sorry. + +A man who worked at the mill saw the fire. He called the firemen. The firemen came with a big truck and a hose. They sprayed water on the fire. They put out the fire. + +The man was angry. He asked Sam and Ben who started the fire. Sam and Ben told the truth. They said they were sorry. The man said they were lucky they did not get hurt. He said they were stupid and naughty. He said they had to pay for the damage. He said he would tell their mom and dad. + +Sam and Ben felt ashamed. They wished they had listened to Ben. They learned a lesson. They never played with matches again. They never went near the mill again. +Tommy did not like haircuts. He thought they were scary and hurt. He liked his long hair that he could play with and hide under. But his mom said he had to get a haircut today. She said his hair was too messy and dirty and he would look nice with a short hair. + +"No, no, no!" Tommy cried. He ran away from his mom and hid in his room. He locked the door and put his toys in front of it. He did not want to go to the barber. He did not want to lose his hair. + +"Tommy, open the door!" his mom said. She knocked on the door and tried to turn the knob. "Don't be silly, Tommy. It's just a haircut. It won't hurt. And you can choose a sticker or a candy after. Please, Tommy, don't make me angry." + +Tommy did not listen. He covered his ears and sang a loud song. He sang so loud that he did not hear his dad come home. He did not hear his dad ask his mom what was wrong. He did not hear his dad say he would talk to Tommy. + +Tommy only heard his dad knock on the door and say in a loud voice, "Tommy, this is your dad. Open the door right now or I will punish you. You are being very naughty and rude to your mom. You have to get a haircut. It's not a choice. It's a rule. Open the door, Tommy, or you will be in big trouble." + +Tommy was scared of his dad's loud voice. He did not want to be punished. He did not want to be in trouble. He moved his toys and unlocked the door. He opened the door and saw his dad's angry face. He felt sorry for making his mom and dad mad. He said in a small voice, "I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, mom. I will get a haircut. Please don't punish me." + +His dad hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tommy. I'm glad you said sorry. But you have to listen to your mom and me. We love you and we want you to be healthy and happy. A haircut is not a big deal. It will grow back. And you will look handsome and smart. Come on, let's go to the barber. I will go with you and hold your hand. And you can pick a sticker or a candy after. Okay?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Okay, dad. Thank you, dad. I love you, dad. I love you, mom." + +His mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tommy. You are a good boy. Now let's go and get you a nice haircut." +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play with cars and make zoom sounds. One day, they find a big box in the park. They think it is a new car for them. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Lily says. "It is red and shiny and has four wheels. Can we play with it?" + +"Yes, let's play!" Ben says. "I want to be the driver and you can be the passenger. Let's go on a trip!" + +They climb into the box and pretend it is a car. They make zoom sounds and turn the box left and right. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, a big boy comes to the park. He sees the box and wants it for himself. He runs to the box and pushes Lily and Ben out. + +"Hey, this is my car!" he says. "You can't play with it. Go away!" + +Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They don't like the big boy. He is mean and rude. They want their car back. + +"Please, can we have our car back?" Lily asks. "We found it first. We were playing nicely." + +"No, you can't!" the big boy says. "It is mine now. You are too small and silly to play with it. Go find something else!" + +He laughs and gets into the box. He makes zoom sounds and turns the box left and right. He thinks he is having fun. + +But then, the box breaks. The big boy is too heavy and rough for the box. The box tears and falls apart. The big boy falls out and hurts his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cries. "My car! My knee! It hurts!" + +Lily and Ben see the big boy crying. They feel sorry for him. They know how it feels to be hurt and sad. They decide to be kind and help him. + +"Are you okay?" Ben asks. "Do you need a band-aid?" + +"Can we hug you?" Lily asks. "Hugs make you feel better." + +The big boy is surprised. He expects Lily and Ben to be angry and mean. But they are not. They are nice and friendly. He feels ashamed and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" he says. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken your car. I shouldn't have pushed you. I shouldn't have been mean. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and Ben smile and nod. They forgive the big boy. They hug him and give him a band-aid. They make him feel warm and happy. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" he says. "You are very kind and good. Can we be friends?" + +"Yes, we can be friends!" Lily and Ben say. "Friends share and care. Friends play and have fun. Friends hug and help." + +They all hug and smile. They learn a lesson. They learn that being nice is better than being mean. They learn that hugs are better than zooms. They learn that friends are better than cars. +Tom and Lily were having lunch with their mom. They liked to eat sandwiches and carrots and drink juice. Mom gave them each a napkin to wipe their mouths and hands. Tom and Lily were good at using napkins. + +"Mom, can we go to the park after lunch?" Tom asked. He liked to play on the swings and the slide. + +"Maybe, if you finish your food and clean up your plates," Mom said. She was reliable. She always kept her promises. + +Lily wondered what they would see at the park. Maybe they would see some birds or squirrels or dogs. She liked to watch animals and make noises like them. + +"Look, Mom, I'm done!" Lily said. She showed her empty plate and her clean napkin. + +"Good job, Lily!" Mom said. "How about you, Tom?" + +Tom was still eating his sandwich. He was not as fast as Lily. He took a big bite and said, "Mmm, good!" + +"Slow down, Tom. Don't talk with your mouth full," Mom said. She smiled and helped him finish his sandwich. + +"Okay, Mom, I'm done too!" Tom said. He showed his empty plate and his dirty napkin. + +"Good job, Tom!" Mom said. "Now, let's put our plates and napkins in the trash and get ready to go to the park." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They threw away their plates and napkins and put on their shoes and jackets. They followed Mom to the door. + +"Are you ready, kids?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom!" Tom and Lily said. + +They went to the park and had a lot of fun. They played on the swings and the slide, they saw some birds and squirrels and dogs, and they made noises like them. They thanked Mom for taking them to the park. They were glad that Mom was reliable. +Anna likes to call her grandma on the phone. She likes to hear her voice and tell her what she did today. Grandma always says she loves Anna and asks her to be a good girl. + +One day, Anna finds a big orange in the kitchen. She thinks it is a ball and wants to play with it. She tries to bounce it on the floor, but it does not bounce. It rolls away and hits the table. Anna hears a loud noise and sees the phone fall off the table. + +Anna is scared and runs to the phone. She picks it up and hears a beep. She pushes the buttons and hopes to hear grandma. But she does not hear grandma. She hears a man who says hello. Anna does not know the man. She does not know what to say. + +The man says his name is Bob and he works for the phone company. He says he is checking the phone line and asks if everything is okay. Anna says she is sorry and she was playing with an orange. She says she wants to talk to grandma. + +Bob says he understands and he will help her. He says he can find grandma's number and call her for Anna. He says it is easy and he will do it right now. He says Anna is a sweet girl and he is glad she is okay. + +Anna says thank you and waits for Bob to call grandma. She hopes grandma is not mad at her. She hopes grandma will still love her and talk to her. She holds the phone and the orange and smiles. She thinks Bob is a nice man and she is lucky. +Tommy loved his new toy. It was a big tiger with orange and black fur. It had sharp teeth and claws, but it was soft and cuddly. Tommy hugged his tiger and played with it every day. + +One day, Tommy's mom said they had to go to the store. She told Tommy to leave his tiger at home. "Don't worry, we'll be back soon," she said. Tommy did not want to go. He wanted to stay with his tiger. But he had to listen to his mom. He put his tiger on his bed and said goodbye. + +While Tommy and his mom were gone, a bad dog came into the house. The dog smelled the tiger and thought it was a real animal. The dog barked and growled and jumped on the bed. He bit and tore and ripped the tiger with his teeth and claws. He destroyed the tiger. + +When Tommy and his mom came back, they saw the mess. The bed was covered with fur and stuffing. The tiger was in pieces. Tommy cried and cried. He was very sad and angry. He loved his tiger. He hated the dog. + +His mom hugged him and said she was sorry. She said she would buy him a new toy. But Tommy did not want a new toy. He wanted his tiger. He missed his tiger. He wished the dog had never come. +Mira liked to play in the garden with her mom. She helped mom dig and water the plants. One day, she saw something white and round in the dirt. She asked mom what it was. + +Mom said, "That is a cauliflower. It is a kind of vegetable that we can eat. It grows under the ground and has many small parts that look like flowers. Do you want to pick it?" + +Mira nodded and carefully pulled the cauliflower out of the dirt. She felt its delicate texture and smelled its fresh scent. She was proud of her discovery. + +Mom said, "Let's wash it and cook it for dinner. We can make a yummy soup with it and some cheese and milk. Do you like soup?" + +Mira said, "Yes, I like soup. And I like cauliflower. Can I help you make it?" + +Mom said, "Of course, you can. You are a great helper and a good gardener. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and have some fun." +Lily was a little girl who liked to wander. She liked to see new things and meet new animals. One day, she wandered too far from her home. She saw a big forest with many trees and flowers. She wanted to explore it. + +She walked into the forest and saw a bird with bright feathers. She followed the bird and tried to talk to it.

She cried and cried. She wanted her mom and dad. + +She heard a voice calling her name. It was her dad. He had been looking for her. He heard her cry and found her. He picked her up and hugged her. "Lily, Lily, I'm so glad you're safe. Why did you wander so far?" he asked. He sounded troubled. + +Lily hugged him back and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to see new things and meet new animals. But they did not want to be my friends. I was lonely and scared. I missed you and mom." + +Dad kissed her and said, "I understand, Lily. But you have to be careful. The forest can be dangerous. Some animals are not friendly. You have to stay close to us. We are your friends. We love you." + +Lily nodded and said, "I love you too, dad. Can we go home now?" + +Dad smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go. Mom is waiting for us." + +They walked out of the forest and saw their home. Lily saw her mom waving at them.

They see many flowers and trees and birds. They like the sunshine. It makes them warm and happy. + +One day, they find a big pile of leaves. The leaves are red and yellow and brown. They look like fun. Lily and Max run to the pile and jump in. They scatter the leaves in the air. They make a big mess. They giggle and shout. + +But then, they see a lady. She is angry. She has a rake. She says, "Who did this? Who scattered my leaves? I worked hard to make them neat. Now I have to do it again. Go away, you naughty children!" + +Lily and Max are scared. They say, "Sorry, lady. We did not know. We just wanted to play. We will help you." They pick up the leaves and put them back in the pile. They are sorry and sad. + +The lady sees them. She sees their faces. She feels sorry too. She says, "It's okay, children. I know you did not mean to be bad. You can play with the leaves, but only in that corner. And when you are done, you have to clean up. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nod. They say, "Yes, lady. Thank you, lady." They go to the corner and play with the leaves. They are careful and gentle. They make a big pink flower with the leaves. They show it to the lady. She smiles. She says, "That's very pretty. You are very clever. You can keep the flower. But now it's time to go home. Say goodbye to the leaves and the sunshine." + +Lily and Max say goodbye. They take the flower. They hug the lady. They say, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice. We will come back another day. Goodbye, leaves. Goodbye, sunshine." They wave and run to their mom. They tell her about their adventure. They show her their flower. She says, "That's wonderful. You are very good. I'm proud of you." She kisses them and takes them home. They are happy and tired. They sleep well. They dream of the park and the leaves and the sunshine. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with boats. They have a big toy yacht. It is blue and white. It has a sail and a wheel. + +One day, they go to the park. They find a pond.

"It is fast and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says. "But we have to work hard. We have to pull the string and steer the wheel. Or the yacht will go away." + +They work hard. They pull and steer. They have fun. They make the yacht go left and right. They make it go near and far. + +But then, a big wind comes. It blows the sail. The yacht goes too fast. Tom and Sue cannot pull or steer. The yacht goes to the other side of the pond. They cannot reach it. + +"Oh no, our yacht is gone!" Sue says. "How can we get it back?" + +"I have an idea!" Tom says. "We can use the ducks. They are useful. They can swim and fetch. We can give them bread. They will help us." + +They find some bread. They break it into pieces. They throw it to the ducks. The ducks swim to the bread. They eat it. They see the yacht. They are curious. They swim to the yacht. They peck it. They push it. + +"Look, the ducks are helping us!" Sue says. "They are pushing the yacht to us!" + +"Yes, they are!" Tom says. "They are smart and kind!" + +They wait for the ducks. The ducks push the yacht to them. They reach the yacht. They thank the ducks.

The ducks are our friends!" + +They smile. They play with the ducks. They sail their yacht. They have a good day. +Anna liked to eat shrimp. She liked them a lot. She liked them more than any other food. She wanted to own all the shrimp in the world. + +One day, she went to the store with her mom. She saw a big bag of shrimp in the freezer. She ran to it and grabbed it. She said, "Mine! Mine! Mine!" + +Her mom said, "No, Anna. You can't have that. That's too much shrimp for you. You have to share with others." + +Anna did not want to share. She was stubborn. She held the bag tight and said, "No! No! No!" + +Her mom was angry. She said, "Anna, you are being very rude and greedy. You have to put that back. Now!" + +Anna did not listen. She tried to run away with the bag. But the bag was too heavy for her. She fell down and the bag ripped open. Shrimp flew everywhere. Anna started to cry. + +Her mom said, "Look what you did, Anna. You made a big mess. You wasted a lot of shrimp. You have to say sorry and help me clean up." + +Anna felt bad. She said, "Sorry, mom. I was wrong. I don't need to own all the shrimp. I can share with others." + +Her mom said, "That's good, Anna. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's go home and have some shrimp for dinner. But not too much, okay?" + +Anna said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Anna." +Lily liked to write in her journal. She had a pink journal with a unicorn on the cover. She wrote about her day, her friends, and her dreams. She used a purple pen and drew pictures too. + +One day, she took her journal to the park. She wanted to write about the flowers and the birds. She found a nice spot under a big tree.

He was holding a ball. + +"I am writing in my journal," Lily said. "It is my favorite thing to do." + +"What is a journal?" the boy asked. He looked curious. + +"A journal is a book where you write your thoughts and feelings," Lily explained. "You can write anything you want. It is like a friend who listens to you." + +The boy nodded. He smiled. "That sounds fun. Can I see your journal?" + +Lily hesitated. She was shy. She did not like to share her journal with strangers. But the boy seemed nice. He did not look mean. + +"Okay, but you have to be careful," Lily said. She handed him her journal. + +The boy took the journal gently. He opened it and looked at the pages. He saw Lily's words and pictures. He saw her name and her age. He saw her favorite color and animal. + +"Wow, this is a cool journal," the boy said. "You are very good at writing and drawing. I like your unicorn." + +"Thank you," Lily said. She felt happy. She liked the boy's compliment. + +The boy gave her back her journal. He asked, "Do you want to play with me? I have a ball. We can play catch or soccer." + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked to write in her journal, but she also liked to play. She decided to try something new. + +"Okay, let's play," Lily said. She put her journal in her backpack. She zipped it up. She did not want to lose it. + +The boy smiled. He said, "Great. Come on, I will lead you to the field. It is over there. My name is Max, by the way. What is yours?" + +"I am Lily," Lily said. She followed Max to the field. She felt warm and happy. She had made a new friend. And she had something to write in her journal later. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and learn new things. One day, their mom gives them a test. She says, "I have two plates of chocolate. One is for you and one is for me. But you have to guess which one is mine. If you guess right, you can have a bite of my chocolate. If you guess wrong, you have to give me a bite of your chocolate. Are you ready?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They love chocolate. They look at the plates. One plate has a long piece of chocolate and a short piece of chocolate. The other plate has two pieces of chocolate that are the same size. Sara thinks, "Mom likes long things. She has long hair and long legs. Maybe she likes long chocolate too." She points to the plate with the long piece of chocolate and says, "This is your plate, mom." + +Ben thinks, "Mom likes to share things. She always gives us half of her sandwich and half of her juice. Maybe she likes to share chocolate too." He points to the plate with two pieces of chocolate that are the same size and says, "This is your plate, mom." + +Mom smiles. She says, "You are both very smart. But only one of you is right. Sara, you are right. I like long chocolate. Ben, you are wrong. I like to share chocolate, but I also like to have a big piece for myself. So, Sara, you can have a bite of my chocolate.

She had never drawn a person before, but she thought it would be fun. She took her colors and papers and went to the window. + +She saw Max playing in his yard with his ball. He was throwing it high and catching it. He looked happy and strong. Lily smiled and started to draw. She used a brown color for his hair, a peach color for his skin, a blue color for his eyes and a red color for his shirt. She tried to make his face look like him, with a nose, a mouth and two ears. + +She was almost done when Max saw her. He waved and shouted, "Hi, Lily! What are you doing?" Lily waved back and said, "Hi, Max! I'm drawing you!" She held up her picture for him to see. + +Max ran to the fence and looked at the picture. He was amazed and happy. He said, "Wow, Lily!

"It's so blue and shiny!" + +They ran out of the car and into the house. Mum and dad told them to be careful and not to go too far. They said they would unpack and make some lunch. + +Tom and Anna explored the house. They found a lot of rooms and things to play with. They had a lot of fun. Then they saw a door that was locked. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's try to open it!" Tom said. He found a key on a table and put it in the lock. He turned it and the door opened. + +"Wow, what's in there?" Anna said. She followed Tom into the dark room. + +They looked around and saw a lot of old and dusty things. There were books and pictures and toys and clothes. They also saw a big cage with a cloth over it. + +"What's that?" Tom said. He walked towards the cage and pulled the cloth. + +He wished he hadn't. Inside the cage was a big and scary animal. It had sharp teeth and claws and fur and eyes. It looked very angry and hungry. It roared and shook the cage. + +Tom and Anna were very frightened. They screamed and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They had left the key inside. They banged on the door and called for mum and dad. But mum and dad didn't hear them. They were too far away. + +The animal broke the cage and jumped out. It ran towards Tom and Anna. It was going to eat them. + +Tom and Anna cried and hugged each other.

They are so pretty!" Tom says. He takes out a necklace, a bracelet, and a ring. He puts them on and shows them to Anna. + +"Tom, those are not toys. They are Mom's jewels. She will be very angry if you touch them." Anna says. + +"I don't care. They are mine now. You can't have any." Tom says. He is very greedy and selfish. + +Anna is sad and scared. She tries to tell Tom to put the jewels back, but he does not listen. He runs away with the box to his room. He locks the door and hides the box under his bed. + +Soon, Mom comes home. She sees the mess in the living room. She sees the torn paper and the empty box. She is very upset and worried. + +"Tom, Anna, where are you?" Mom calls. + +Anna comes out of her room. She tells Mom what happened. She says she is sorry and she tried to stop Tom. + +Mom hugs Anna and thanks her for being honest and good. She says she is proud of her. + +Then Mom goes to Tom's room.

Do you want to join them?" + +Lily nods and says: "Yes, I do. I want to see the magic castle too." She turns the page and follows Jack and Jill on their journey. They meet a fairy, a dragon, and a king. They have fun and help each other. They find the magic castle and make a wish. + +Lily is happy. She likes the story. She likes Jack and Jill.

You are my favorite book." She puts the book on her pillow and falls asleep. She dreams of the magic castle and the adventure. She is happy. +Lily and Max were on a trip with their mom and dad. They stayed in a big hotel with many rooms and a pool. Lily and Max liked to swim in the pool and play with the toys. But they had to share the toys with other kids. + +One day, Lily saw a big fake duck in the pool. It was yellow and had a red hat. Lily wanted to play with the duck. She ran to the pool and grabbed the duck. But another kid was holding the duck too. He said, "That's my duck! I was playing with it first!" + +Lily and the kid started to pull the duck. They both wanted the duck. They did not want to share. They shouted and cried. Their mom and dad heard them and came to the pool. They saw Lily and the kid fighting over the duck. + +Mom and dad were not happy. They said, "Lily, Max, stop fighting! The duck is not yours. It belongs to the hotel. You have to share the toys with other kids. That's the nice thing to do. How would you feel if someone took your toy?" + +Lily and the kid felt bad. They realized they were being mean and selfish. They said sorry to each other. They let go of the duck. They decided to play with the duck together. They took turns to hold the duck and make it swim. They had fun and made a new friend. + +Lily and Max learned a lesson. They learned that sharing is caring. They learned that fighting is not fun. They learned that playing with others is better than playing alone. They thanked their mom and dad for teaching them. They finished their trip with a smile. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to watch TV. They watched TV every day after school and before dinner.

She said they had to do their homework and play with their toys. She said TV was not good for their eyes and brains. She said they could watch TV again tomorrow. + +Ben and Lily were not happy. They did not want to do their homework or play with their toys. They wanted to watch TV now. They had a plan. They waited until their mom went to the kitchen to make dinner.

She saw Ben and Lily sitting on the couch, watching TV. She said, "What are you doing? I told you no TV until tomorrow. You did not listen to me. You did not obey me. You are in trouble." + +She turned off the TV and took the remote. She said, "Now you have no TV for a week. You have to go to your room and think about what you did.
